Children's Day Appropriately Observed.

Children's Day Appropriately Observed.
The Children's sday program rem
dered at the NJ E. church Sunday
evening was very interesting and we'll
received by the large audience present.
The church was beautifully decorated
with flags and flowers artistically
arranged, Old Glory, the large flag of
the Sons of Veterans, being in the fore
front. Mrs. S. D. Sour had charge of
the exercises and did credit to herself
as did all the children present who
took part. Grace and Denny Byers
sang so we'll that the small boys forgot
it was Sunday evening and clapped
their hands vigorously. Miss Amy
Woodcock sang SO well the old folks
forgot and cheered with the children.
A trio by Grace Byers, Essie and
Myrtle Burgan was we'll received. Mrs.
Sargent sang a beautiful solo both
morning and evening. A motion song
by a class of girls was excellent. Mrs.
Fisk presided at the organ and her
husbands bass was pronounced first
class. Mrs. Sargent of Anoka, Miss
Richardson of the First nj. E. church,
Minneapolis, and Miss NUM- aided the
choir.

The Annual School Meeting

At the annual school meeting of this
district Saturday night, DR.. Tarbox
was unanimously elected treasurer of
the school board. This selection was
a just recognition of the valuable SER
vices which he has rendered the dis
trict for the past six years, and it was
only through the earnest solicitation
of his many friends, and without oppo-
sition, that he would consent to assume
the responsibility again. G. H. Chad
burne acted as moderator of the meet
ing, and Mrs. Rose D. Patterson as
clerk. The receipts and expenditures
for the past year are as follows:

POET AND RULER
Kipling Finally Submits to an
Interview.
TALKS OF CECIL RHODES
Calls Rhodes Greatest Of Living
Men-Home Rule-Silent on
Jameson Raid.

For the first time since he has been
a celebrity Rudyard Kipling has yield
ed TO the snares Of a newspaper inter-
viewer. The fortunate man is Sir Ed
ward Russell, of the Liverpool Daily
Pest, and the subject Cecil Rhodes and
South Africa.
IL answer to a question regarding
MIR. Rhodes gift of 10000 TO Irish
home rule Mr.. Kipling replied: Sure
ly you know all about that. You don't
think that Cecil Rhodes cared a bit
about Ireland? All he wanted was to
get the principle adopted in the hope
of its general adoption and a free hand
for all colonists who knew how to
make empires. Home governments are
ridiculOusly pOwerleSs. Individual
statesmen can do great things, and Mr.
Gladstone has done infinite harm; but
governments, as governments, can
scarcely ever do anything"
Mr.. Kipling considers Cecil Rhodes
the greatest of living men.
"A man worth millions who didn't
spend more than & 600 year on him
self! There he lives in poor, never
finished place, keeping free and easy
open house. Anybody can stay with
him and enjoy his simple hospitality
Mr. Rhodes never presides at table
never spends long at table. The guest
who has been there longest sits at the
top"
A question was then put, What did
Mr. Kipling think of the Beers?
Mr.. Kipling replied: They are ut
terly detestable'
But what about their religious emo
lions and expressions? "Oh, that only
meant that when Kruger wanted
things to go his way he hOwled texts
at his people. The Beers behave
cruelty to the natives. They live in
dwellings so indecently crowded as al
most to suggest inevitable indecencies
and family immortality You are mo-
to mix Beers and Dutch. The Dutch
are slow enough, but they are civilized
The Beers are neither civilized no.
picturesque in their unciviliZatiOn
nor righteous in their conduct toward
others. To allow them to have any in
| f1uence on politics in a place that WI
have anything to do with is prepOs
ferrous.
But" said the interviewer, ''if III
is SO great man and makes such goot
plans and carries them out so perfect
| ly, how came he to make such an awfu
| mess of things in allowing and no
| rendering successful the Jameson
raid?''
| All said Mr.. Kipling-and it wa
his last word before mounting his bi
cycle and riding away to his seclusiol
in little outlying township-"ah,
said he, you have now asked a ques
ton which will probably not b,
answered till the day of Judgment

BATHED IN BLOOD
James Dumphy Badly Clubbed by
Deputy Constable Mugnemi

James Dumphy of 3O7 Commercial street
pleaded guilty to a charge of drunkenness
yesterday and was fined s3 by Police Judge
Morrison, which Dumphy paid Dumphy
is the man who resisted arrest at the hands
of Deputy Constable Mumnemi Thursday
night, and received terrible beating on the
head with club welded by Mugnem. The
prisoner was sent to the police station, and
he looked as if he had dipped his head in
a barrel of blood. Twelve stitches were
required to close his wounds. A mathema-
tcian interested in geometrical progression
would naturally inquire if twelve stitches
have to be taken to close the wounds of
man who resists arrest for drunkenness,
how much will an officer leave of man who
resists arrest on charge of battery!
o. n. Lloyd, the proprietor of planning
mill, went to Police Judge Morrison's court
yesterday to inquire about the case of DUN
ply. Mugnemi, so Lloyd claims, met him
at the entrance, and asked what he had to
do with the case. Lloyd replied that he was
friend of Dunphy, and then is said to have
threatened to shoot the head off Mugnemi,
saying he had a siX-shooter in his pocket.
Mugnemi took Lloyd to the detectives Of
flee and searched him, but failing to find any
six-shooter, turned Lloyd loose. The lat
ter is then said to have again threatened to
abuse Mugnemi, and was placed under arrest
for disturbing the pease. Lloyd denies
that he disturbed the peace OF the officer,
and bystanders say that Mugnemi was really
the aggressor after Lloyd was turned loose
from the detectives office. Lloyd was re-
leased from Jail and the case against him
will be called today

Mayor-elect Eaton yesterday personally

graceful recognition by the incoming ad-
ministration of the work Of an efficient
officer. The deputies under DR.. Powers are
appointed by the council, but after they are
named it is more than probable that an at
tempt will be made to pass an ordinance

BILLS MUST BE PAID
Street Superintendent Drain After the
Traction Company

Street Superintendent Drain yesterday
filed communication to the council calling
attention to the fact that he has twice sent
bills to the Los Angeles Traction company
for the cost of putting culvert under their
tracks and right of way on Third street at
Spring, amounting to $273.50; repairing of
pavement at intersection of Third and
Spring, one-half cost of which is 5000, half
being charged to each of the railroad COM
panies; and for $27.29 for construction of
culvert under Central avenue at Fifth
street. He states that no attention has been
paid to his requests for payment and as the
work has been completed for sixty days, he
refers the matter to the council for such ac-
ton as may be deemed necessary.
The Traction company has gone on record
as having refused to pay for the work thus
done for them by the city, but in view OF
the fact that they are just at present seek
ing to secure from the city council valu
able franchise, it will be interesting to see
whether or not they will wait to be sued
for the $37028 due.

PUBLIC WORKS
Board Investigates Damage to Hill
Recommendations

A trip OH investigation was taken yesteI-
day at noon by the board OF public works
to the property OF Mrs. Lucy j. Harvey Oh
Olive street between First and Court. Mrs.
Harvey some time ago filed with the coun-
Gil a petition asking that she be not COM
PEELED TO pay for the grading, sidewalking
and curbing of the street in front OF her
place, tor the following reasons: In 1887
the grade of Olive street in front OF her
property was established and she made i'm
provements in accordance Herewith, put
ting down cement walk, cement curb,
cobblestone gutter and building a retaining
wall for the front of her property, which
cost some $1,000.
In 1896 the chain gang was put to work
and cut down the street some feet, dam
aging her property greatly and rendering
worthless the improvements she had made.
She applied for pecuniary relief, was refused
it, and began suit for $l200 damages, which
suit is still pending in court. Now new
walks, curbs and cutters are bing laid on the
street. Besides this her retaining wall will
have to be torn down and built again from
three to twelve feet lower than before. II
the city will replace her property in good
shape she agrees to dismiss the damage suit
and call it square.
Messrs Blanchard, Mathuss and Ashman
made a close investigation of the premises,
and although nothing definite was decided
upon, it is more than probable that they
will recommend that the city replace Mrs.
Harvey's improvements if it is found that
the grade was arbitrarily changed as Is
claimed.
Other business disposed of by the board
e ell 1nk,
We recommend that the petition from
Poindexter & Wadswarth be referred to the
city engineer with instructions that he pre-
pare ordinance of intention to establish the
grade of Griffith avenue between Washing
ton and Adams streets.
Recommend that the petition from Poin-
dexter & Wadsworth and others be referred
to the city eng gineer to present ordinance
of intention to establish the grade of Twen-
ty-fourth street from Central avenue west
to a point in said street where it will meet
the improvement of the rest OF said street,
and when such proceedings are completed,
to present the necessary ordinance for the
improvement of said street, in compliance
with said petition.
We recommend that the petition from
j. G. II. Lampadius be referred to the
city engineer with instructions to present
ordinance of intention for the establishment
of the grade of Diamond street between
Beaudry and Fremont avenues.
In the matter of the petition from Flora
Howes and others, asking that proceedings
for the sidewalking of Broadway between
Sixth and Seventh streets, be abandoned,
and permission given to property owners
to do said work by private contract, we
recommend that tho same be granted.

As the petition was addressed to the coun-
Gil, it could not be officially considered by
the board without first having been placed
before the larger body and by it referred TO
them for consideration. However, the ct
feet of the petition was felt.
Councilman Mathuss expressed himself as
favoring recommendation to the council
as requested by the Traction company, but
Mr.. Ashman was not in favor OF being IN
too big rush. Only one side of the story
had been heard and he needed time in
which to settle the best plan of procedure.
Mr.. Blanchard, the chairman, said nothing
but sawed wood" and the matter was
finally allowed to go over, being taken under
consideration. A report will undoubted-
ly be agreed upon before the council meet
ing Monday.
