The Board of Education decided yesterday to

q second meeting on Jan. 81, If necessary. In
order to complete tho business on its hands
before the board Is reorganized.
1t was moved that tho Finance Committee
look into q report from State Superintendent Of
Instruction Charles r. Skinner as to charges
for the biennial school census. The total sum
appropriated for that purpose in 1897 was
1893. 400. 80. This Is nearly 10 cents for each
child, and it was shown that in New Jersey,
where schools are presumably more scattered
and the expense should be greater. it only costs
five cents a head for a census. Already SIS, 600
has been set aside by the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment for the biennial census of 1897.
The balance. $23.490.s9 Is still a charge against
the city.

the mandamus issued by Justice Truax compel
ling the board to pay tho bill. of eX.Juuge

of the writ the board was compelled to assign
funds to pay the bill of SO. 900. and 1t was moved
to issue bonds through the Board Of Estimate

The motion was carried nanimousl but Com

Miatake Made by an Amateur Actress Who
wns Looking for Her Opportunity.
In one Of the plays now attracting attention
at a popular theatre there is a young woman
who plays a subordinate part. She is a beauty
and was at one time known in society. That
was enough for the yellow journals and they
printed columns of trash about her. 1t was a
good thing in a way for the young woman and
it helped the play. Probably 1t has helped the
play more than it has helped the young woman,
for the part is not one which could be supposed
to be sympathetic to her. Very few persons
know how she came to play such a part. One
of her friends was telling about it tho other day.
Tho only thing she had heard about the
piece" said this woman, was that she was to
have a nice little part She wanted to act in
New York and at n first-class theatre; so she
was very glad to get this opportunity, especially
as a nice little part seemed a very good Begin
ming for a woman who had never acted before.
that there were about fifteen other girls who
also had nice little parts just like hers. In
More than that, the woman shc had to imper-
senate was a short-skirted person, you know;
who wore short skirts; drank brown sugar and
water that had boon heavily charged to make
1t answer for stage champagne, danced "A can
can and did all that sort of thing. So you see It
was not in the least n nice part, although 1t
was about as little as it could well be. But the
girl had to act it.
"The most awful thing about the whole bust;
ness is that she Is getting. the same salary paid
to all actresses who play nice little parts with
fifteen or sixteen Others. Girls in the. chorus
get from S14 to 1913 II week. Now, this girl
will never again get all the advertising that
came from the part she was acting for the first
time. The newspapers will never again print
30 much about her. So unless she becomes a
great actress in Il very short time she will have
lost all the benefit of having been In society. or
course people go now TO stare at her. That has
happened before with amateurs, but they havo
had the satisfaction of being well paid for it.
They have utilized their position to make money.
But along with the sixteen Others this girl is re-
ceiving only the customary salary, and that Is
what seems so unfortunate about the whole
business. She might just as well have got ten
times as much If she had only waited"

Rhv1GED NJ OLD AGE.
Bnrring Consumption That's tho Most Fatal
Aiiment or St. John. n. n.

Aiiment or 81. John. y. II.
81. JOHN, n. B., Jan. 19.-With the exception
OF pulmonary consumption the most fatal disease
that has prevailed in this city during the past
three years is old age. More st. John residents
have died from senile debility than from cholera
infantum or from heart disease, while tho com.
bincd ravages of pneumonia and typhoid fever.
two Of the most dreaded diseases known, have
not caused so many deaths as have been brought
about by the natural processes Of age. Tho mall
ady is increasing every year. In 1895 forty-two
citizens OF st. John died of old age; the next
year the number had swelled to ffty-ninc. and
in 1897 there werc ~sixty-six residents who sue
cumbed to the ravages Of time.
At n late meeting of the city boards OF health
O physician made pleasing Comment upon the
peculiar malady that prevailed in ST. John. and
predicted a time when tho doctors would have
no patients except those who were more than 80
years of age. Another member then went on to
show that the large per cent. of deaths from old
age was not due to the healthfulness Of this
city so much as 1t was to the fact that most of
the young people had been moving to the United
States for the last twenty years, leaving tho
aged at home to keep house and subsist upon
the earnings of those who were away. The in
ducement of steady employment at good wages,
which the manufacturing towns of New Eng
land afford to healthy young men and young
women, had succeeded in depicting the popula-
ton of Now Brunswick until the per cent. of
aged persons and cripples was largely in excess
OF any other place in tho world.
