THE LANCASTER GRADED
SCHOOL.
Report of the superintendent for
First Quarter of Present Ses.
Sio The Honor Rolls.

cHaulludIlonS GU Ine course 1Or
the fist quarter session '9S-'99
were finished.
During the term, at intervals
of three months, two more ex-
aminations will be held: thus,
those who failed on the first
quarter, in any subject, can, by
close attention to it and increased
application, attain a sufficiently
high average on the years work
for advancement in June to a
higher Grade. Parents are re.
quested to examine the reports
carefully, note the deficiencies,
and require more time given to
the home study of those branches
in which the pupil is backward.
1t would help both teacher and
pupil for parents to communicate
to the former any difficulties en-
countcred by the pupil in the un-
derstanding or preparation Of his
studies, that may come to their
observation. Tha progress of the
child is dependent on an inteli-
gent understanding and co-opera-
tion on the part of the parent,
teacher, and pupil.
The work of the school in its
first quarter has been of such
character as to hold out the hone
of II very successful term. | wish
to commend the pupils, especially
those of the higher grades, for
excellent behavior. On the other
hand, there are none entirely
satisfactory IN diligence and ap
pllcatiUn to studies
| heg to turn the attention of
the people of Lancaster to what
they already realize, namely, that
our school building is not what it
ought to be-in fact it IS all that
it ought not to be; too small,
badly lighted, impossible to
property heat or ventilate, un-
healthy. There is no profit nor
economy in educating the child's
mind at the expense Of it's eye
sight, lungs, and general health.
Lancaster is behind her neighbors
in this one respect; it is for us to
determine when to make change.
The honor rolls for the past
quarter follow. The attendance
rcIl requires that during the sixty
days OF the quarter, II pupil be
neither absent, tardy nor dis
missed. On the department roll
are such as have no dcmcrits.

A QUICK PACE
Set BY millionaire at Galveston.

Set BY Millionaire al 0aiVestoh.
GALVESTON, Sept. 24.-W. F. Davis,
who is understood to be the son OF
the head of the Davis Coal and Coke
company, one of the largest concerns
10 the west, hiss been astonishing Gal
weston with his rapid living. He came
here last month accompanied by Q
valet and by Miss E. Bainbridge Smith,
of Richard Mansfield's company.
Thursday night just for the ediica-
tion of Miss Smith, two pugilists fought
to a finish in the rooms of the Calves
ton Athletic club. Jim Hall. of Aus
tralia, acted as referee. The fight was
one of the hottest ever seen here. Be-
sides Miss Smith only half dozen
other persons saw the scrap. Davis
paid the freight.
A week ago Davis ran short OF ready
cash for his heavy expenses, yacth,
and other things had about used up the
money brought here. After masking
several drafts on a Baltimore bank, a
local banking concern telegrsphed
at Davis's request, asking
what credit might be extended to him.
The reply was: 1--WE will honor his
drafts to the extent of 81, 600, ,000."
Davis and Miss Smith left today in
the yacht San Marcos for Key West.
They intend to visit Havana and Porto
Rico and then go to New York.

CRISIS AT HAND
In the DreyfuS Case.

PARIS, Sept. Pat is believed that
the crisis in the Dreyfus case is at
hand. Press and public generally de-
msnd revision, but army influences
stand out strongly against the PROPOSE
tion. The question now exciting the
masses is, "Who will win, the army or
the people?'
The cabinet is .orely perplexed and
at its meeting today agreed to postpone
further its verdict in the matter until
Monday. The delay leads to the belief
that the Dreyfus commission, to
which the question was referred, has
decided upon revision. The cabinet
mem bers upon whom the final decision
rests, realize that a grave situation
will be created either way they decide,
and they want plenty of time for ma
ture deliberation.
Meantime press and people are boil
ing over with impstience, but it is not
believed this will result in any disor-
ders. There may be trouble when
the final decision is announced. Col
onel Picqusrt's arrest by the military
authorities has been the
last straw on the public
patience. M. Rienach in an article in
the Steele says the arrest is illegal and
q fraud. The accusations against Col.
Picqusrt he charscterizes as stupid
and in famous.

MCKINLEY WILL

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.-Dr. w.
W. Keene, who has been asked by Pre-
sident Mckinley to become a member
of the war investigation commission
and declined the appointment, and
who has just returned from Washing
ton. said today:
81 am revealing no condolences when
l repeat one or two of the president's 8
utterances. President Mckinley said
L feel that the American people have
committed these boys to my hands and
If anybody has wronged them 1
want to fiud it out. l don't
believe that any army has ever been
watched over more snxiously and con-
tinuously than I have watched over
this army, for have spent
seventeen hours q day in this
Office in looking after them.'
'The sentiment uttered by the pres
ident," continued DR.. Keene, land
the manner in which he spoke
these words were intensely
No one could doubt that
the speaker meant every word he said.
Of the many Impressions I received
from my visit to Washington
the most prominent and most
lasting is President McKinley's
to get at the truth of the
charges which have been made in
reference to the conduct of the war"
