GRAMMAR A PUPILS.
They Must Stand Monthly Exami-
nations for Admission to the
High School-To Codify
the Rules.

The teachers committee and the
principals of Grammar schools met
in conjunction last night to fix a set
of rules governing the examination of
Grammar A pupils for admission to
the high school. The principals had
the room to themselves until o'clock,
while the committee was in the super
intendent's office considering another
matter, and they went over the sub
ject thoroughly.
The question to be solved by the COM
mittee, and it was for the purpose of
having some advice the principals
were called in, was whether an exam
ination every month would be too
much of a nervous strain on the pupils.
Mr.. Langan, chairman of the commit
tee, made the statement that some
doctors have made strong comments
on the th-impairing policy of
monthly examinations Mr.. Jayne said
he didn't take any stock in such a
statement Let the doctors that think
so, if there are are any, come before
the board, and it will soon be seen who
they are.
The teachers were allowed to debate
and vote cO-equal with the members
of the committee. a motion was made
by Prof. Ketrick that one examination
in the school building every three
months and two at the high school
should be all the examinations requir-
ed. There was a majority against that.
The principals as rule did not think
that an examination every month would
be too much of a nervous strain and
a motion that this number be held was
| carried
There was a question, too, whether
| it would be too much to bring the
| pupils out in the hard weather to the
| high school for three of the ten exam
| nations. John Gibbons thought it
would do them good to see the new
| high school building and get inspir-
| tion from it. If the objection was raised
that it was too much to bring them
out three times in one year, what would
| it be, asked Mr.. Gibbons, after they
are admitted to the high school and
| have to go every day?
So it was decided that there will be
ten examinations in the term, seven
in the respective buildings and the
other three in one class at the high
school. The average to be attained
lower than which the pupil fails, was
fixed at 65 per cent. And there will
be uniform credit mark for all the
schools. Superintendent Howell will
prepare and issue the questions.
Prof. Ketrick, Miss Penman and
Prof. Hawker were appointed a COM
mittee TO examine any pupils who
through sickness or any other sufii-
cient cause, are unable to attend the
| regular examinations.
Prof. Stone, Prof, Cruttenden and
Prof. owens were selected to codify
the rules and will meet tomorrow ev-
ening with the committee and submit
them for approval.

WOULD HAVE SOME BEER.
If Not Produced Miss Fox Would
Not Go on With Show.

Absence of beer almost cut the mu-
sical comedy The Little Host In two
at the LyCeum Tuesday night.
Della Fox, the star absolutely reftls-
ed to Eo on with the second and last
act until she was furnished with a lib
cral portion of beer.
When Della retired to her dressing
room at the end Of the first act she
ordered one Cf her attendants to bring
her some of the favorite beverage of
Gambrinus.
THE imitation booze | threw into
IN" during that nrst act has given me
an awful thirst for something that Will
hit the spot. so make it a high one!"
said the fair Della, as she slammed the
door of her dressing room and began
the task of arranging herself in a golf
suit for the second act.
When she had finished her thirst vas
several degrees stronger ard she de-
mandcd to know with some warmth
why the beer she ordered was not
served
Her attendant informed her that the
rules of the thcater were very strict on
that point; that no intoXlcants of any
kind are allowed on the stage.
I-l 1 van SCI ttilJ pN'l 'iNAN ~
queried Della.
NO"
They dor't expect me to go out for
it. do they she demanded With some
heat.
II don't know"
"Well | know that I won't leave here
and that I'll have that beer or this
show will go no further" and she sat
| down With an air of quiet determina-
| tlon.
Manager Long was sent for and urg-
ed Miss Fox to be sensible and proceed
with the show.
She maintained that she was entirely
| sensible, but any person who would
| deny another a much-needed glass o
stimulating beverage could hardly be
| termed the most sensible Of beings.
Nothing could move her from her de-
| termination not to go on with the show
| and rather than disappont the audi
ence sufficient quantity of beer to
assuage Miss Fox's plenttudo of thirst
was obtained and the show went on.
This little incident accounts for the
eighteen minute wait between acts one
| and two.

Celery
Compound
Makes People We'll.

The one true specific for diseases arising
from dehlitated nervous system is Paines
celery compound so generally prescribed
by physicians. 1t is probably the most re
markable remedy that the scientific research
of this country has produced. Prof. Edward
r. Phelps, NJ. D., L. l.. D., of Dartmouth
college first prescribed what is now known
the world over as painc's celery compound,
a positive cure for dyspepsia, biliousness,
liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, all
nervous diseases and kidney troubles
Pane's celery compound has succeeded
again and again where everything else has
failed.

HOSE HOUSE CONDEMNED.
Order Closing the Century's Quar-

An order will be communicated by
Building Inspector Nelson today to
Chief Hickey and the chairmen of the
fire department committees of councils
condemning the building in which the
Century Hose company is quartered.
on the visit a few days ago to the
Century's place of abode the mayor,
fire chief, building inspector and chair
men of the fire department committees
saw the abominable condition of the
floors walls and cellar. The building
is unsafe and liable to topple at any
time.
The department property will be
taken out and stored somewhere else,
but it will prevent the company from
being in service. The councils may
take some action speedily to find tenn
porary quarters, at least, as the dis
ablement Of the Centurys will seriously
handicap the South Side.

x-Chairman Broad this afternoon
issued counterstatement to that of
Chairman Blood. Broad charges that
the riot was caused by incendiary
speeches of the Teller Republicans at
last nights county convention. He says
,skanager Nye violated the lease made
= 7sa him as chairman Of the State
committee by turning the opera house
over to Charles S. Sprague, editor of
the Evening Telegraph, and a follower
of Teller. Broad says his lease gave
him the right to put his men in the
opera house any hour to-day for the
purpose Of decorating and preparing
the hall for to-morrow's convention.
1t seems tonight that all dangers of
further serious trouble between the two
factions Of the Silver Republicans has
been removed. This afternoon members
OF the Blood faction made application
before Judge Harris of the District
Court for a writ of mandamus COM
pelling Sheriff Boynton to turn over the
opera-house to them. Tonight citizens
of Colorado Springs took the matter in
hand and. the result was compromise
by which both sides relinquish all
claims to the disputed room BY this
agreement Judge Harris issued an or
der to Sheriff Boynton to let neither
faction have possession of the place.
The Broad faction have secured the
Coburn library of Colorado College and
the Blood wing will meet at Durkee
Hall. It is impossible to learn any,
thing about the man alleged to have
