The Misses Pages Visit.

Miss Mary Page, State President of
the w. c. 7. U. and her sister Miss
Emma Page, left Wednesday morning
for Everett, after two weeks stay in
Shelton, during which time they have
done valuable work, the results of
which can never be estimated.
In addition to the two medal contests
which were in every respect success
ful, Miss Page held two meetings with
the ladies. and gave three public ad-
dresses in every one of which she put
strong emphasis on the necessity of
proper training of the boys and girls
who are the men and women of tomor
row. One Of the most gratifying re-
suits Of her labors here, was the or
ganization of a hild-Culture Club, at
which course of study will be follow
ed, which will be found very helpful
to all parents and teachers and others
who work with children. A sufficient
amount OF money was subscribed to
buy 4 set of books to be used by all
the members, and as soon as they can
be secured from the publishers, the
first meeting will be held, to which all
will be cordially invited,
Miss Page held also, meeting with
the girls, and Miss Emma Page held
one for the boys at the same hour.
Both meetings were we'll attended,
and the young folks learned much
that will be of VI lue to them in after
life. Miss Emma Page delivered a
stirring temperance lecture in the
Baptist Church, Sunday evening, to
large and appreciative audience.
The the thanks Of the entire commu-
nifty are due to these ladies for their
extended labors in the interest of puri-
ty, temperance and righteousness. A.
Mrs. Eaton's stock of Easter hats
has arrived.

THE OPENING GAME.
Baseball Season Begins at Central
 Park Next Sunday.

Next Sunday will mark the opening of the Pacific States Baseball League in this city at Central Park, on which occasion the new San Francisco team will meet the formidable baseball aggregation from Santa Cruz. From the makeup of the two teams the game promises to be a warm contest from start to finish.
 This city has not been represented in years with so strong a combination of ball tossers as Manager Crowley has collected for the San Francisco team. In pitching talent he has Johnson, who played with the Philadelphia National League team last season, and Perine of Graceful Mcguire will be on first base, Josh" Riley, late of the Texas League, on second, Gimmel shortstop, and Mer- tes, who played during the past two sea- sons in the East on third. Mcintyre will be in left field, Nealon in center and Wat trouS in right.
 The Santa Cruz team Is already pop ular one in this city, chiefly on account of the remarkable showing made by the team last season. The make up will be practically the same as last year. Balsz and E. Daubenbis will alternate in the box, while Charles DaubenbiS will be be- hind the plate. Fitzgerald will be on first base, Arellanes on second, Williams at short and Deveraux at third. Hopkins will be in left field, Strieb in center and McGrath in right This team led last year s league in both batting and fielding by a wide margin. In five separate posi- tions it led in fielding, while among the first twelve players in the batting aver age list Santa Cruz had six, as follows: Strieb Deyeraux, Arellanes, Williams, Fitzgerald and McGrath.
 The make up of the other teams in the league is as follows:
 Gilt Edges of Sacramento-Harvey and Doyle pitchers; Matt Stanley catcher; Shanahan, first base; Buck Hughes, sec ond; ''Kid'' Peoples, third Lochhead, shortstop; Borland, left field; Donnie, center field, and one of the pitchers in right.
 OIympics of San Francisco-Knell and Fitzpatrick, pitchers; Scott, catcher; Stockton, second; Smith. shortstop, Johnston, third; Muller, left field; Hide brand center; Bliss, right.
 San Jose team-steffani, pitcher; Kent, second; Frank Foley, shortstop; McCar- thy, third; McGucken,. left field; Block ers'' Hanley, center; George Foley, right.
 The Central Park managemnt has com pleted arrangements whereby a special score board will be erected, upon which will be chronicled the telegraphed re- suits of the out of town games as they DrogreSS by innings.

The Board of Education Disnisses the Prin-
 cipal.
Was Convicted on Charges of Unprofessional Con-
 duet.
Deposed Teacher Says He Will Make an Appeal to the
 Courts.

Principal Kilpatrick of the Business Evening School was dismissed from the School Department by the Board of Ed ucation yesterday by vote of seven to three, Director Head being absent and Director Waller being excused from vot- ing.
 The charges against Fitzpatrick were "unprofessional conduct and endeavor- ing to falsify warrant Tor the pay of a teacher in his school.
 Director Carew presided over the meet ing and Attorneys Jones and O'Donnell appeared for the board. Attorney Ald- rich represented Fitzpatrick.
 AIdrich objected to Dr. Ragan taking any part in the proceedings on the ground that he could not give Fitzpatrick a fair trial This point was overruled by the chairman and the taking of testimony proceeded.
 R. P. Hooe, one of the assistant secre- taries of the board, testified that Kilpat- rick had endeavored to induce him to sign a warrant for a teacher in the Busi- ness Evening School for more pay than the service called for. Hooe stated that he had declined to sign the warrant be- cause it called for more money than was due.
 Director Waller testified regarding a letter he had given Fitzpatrick to be de- livered to Director Burns. This letter had been copied by Fitzpatrick, he said, and given to the newspapers for publica- tion.
 Director Harrington related certain con- yersationS between himself and Kilpat- rick in which the latter had stated that 'Ragan wanted to do him up He had asked the assistance of the president of the board to prevent any action against himself.
 Kilpatrick in his own defense repeated a majority of the statements made by him two weeks ago and denied that he had ever tried to intimidate the board. He denied that he had asked Assistant Secretary Hooe to sign warrants other than those that were just. Fitzpatrick had no witnesses in his own behalf and his attorney decided to submit the case without argument
 In the committee of the whole the vote was nine for conviction and one for ac- quittal But when the matter came be- fore the board in regular session mo- ton was made to suspend sentence for the balance of the year, which would take the case out of the Jurisdiction of the present board. This was de- feated by vote of seven to three. It was finally decided to report to the board in favor of finding Fitzpatrick guilty on all counts and of diSmissing him from the service of the School Department. Only the votes of Directors Armer, Derham and Hammond were recorded against such a procedure.
 Mir Fitzpatrick says that he does not intend to let the mater drop here. but will appeal to the courts to sustain the position he has taken regarding the Board of Education.
