WALPOLE SCHOOL MEETING.
North WalpOle Pupils Will Come to
Bellows Fails Considerable Kick

North WalpOle Pupils Will Come to
Bellows Falls Considerable Kick
ing on the Mileage System.
The people of Walpole are having con-
siderable trouble over their schools. Some
have never become reconciled to the town
system, and those in the remote districts
are bitterly opposed to the decision of the
school board to allow three cents mile
for mileage to those wishing to attend the
high school at Walpole village instead of
paying the entire cost Of transportation.
| A school meeting was held in Walpole
Saturday to decide whether the town would
decide to allow the pupils of North Wal
pole to attend the Bellows Falls High
school and pay their tuition therein. These
pupils must either 60 to the Walpole High
school and draw mileage at three cents a
mile, or attend the Bellows Falls High
school and pay their own tuition, or attend
in Bellows Falls and the town pay their
tuition instead of the mileage to Walpole
The people of North Walpole want to send
the pupils to Bellows Falls and as it was
shown to be cheaper for the town there was
not very much opposition to the project.
The meeting was called to order about
9 80 A. NJ. by Moderator w. H. Kiniry,
who read the warrant, and j. w .Cahalane
was elected clerk pro tenn. The first ar.i-
Gle in the warrant read as follows: .sTo
see what action the district will take
! in regard to making contract with
the high school of Bellows Falls, VT,
for the education OF pupils attending
SAID school from North Walpole under the
provisions of Chapter 80, Section II of the
Public Statutes Of New Hampshire and to
see what provision it will make to meet the
expense of the same"
Patrick Griffin offered the following
motion: Moved that the district make
q contract with the Bellows Falls High
School tor such pupils tuition as attend
said school from North Walpole village
instead of their mileage or transportation
to Walpole village and that the school
board be empowered to carry this vote
into effect and to borrow such sum of
money as may be necessary to pay the cost
of the same on the credit of the district to
be raised by assessment next year.
1t wa. asked how many North Walpole
pupils attended the Bellows Falls school
last term. Rev. FIR. Corcoran said there
we're 10. Rev. E. A. Keep stated that it
would cost 90 cents per pupil per week to

 Their general rule is never to ask for any help except fram God. The taking up of free will offerings in meetings Ia the only way they offer an opportunity for others to help them in their work and support. "The silver k mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord' And any one who feels inclined to give un- solicited may send their offering to Mr r. F. Loomis, treasurer of this society, who will return iu few days, or if more convenient, to Mrs. Clarence Thwing or \.

irving there on May n. The Oregon had left this port only twenty hours before. To the surprise of Captain Symnnds, no news was received of the spanish squadron. The navy department order ed him to convoy the Buffalo past Cape Sun Roquc. and then let hor make her way to the United States alone. Twen- ty four hours were passed in eoaling and taking on water, and then tho yes sels put to sea.
 The cape, 25O miles north of Bahia, was passed in safety, and the Para river was entered on May 2l. The Marietta took coal from the Buffalo, and the next day started on alone, as the cruisers boilers needed repairs, which required Bahia the Marietta sighted the ship Lord Cairnes of London, sixty days out. The British skipper was informed that the United States and Spain were at war, and he at once called all his crew to the poop. and his men gave three rousiug cheers for Uncle Sam. The Marietta jackies replied, and the vessels parted.
 The gunboats voyage through the Providence channel and Bahama straits was made without incident until she struck the American coast just south of Cape Florida and fell in with the Yosemite and Armenia. The Marietta used the old signals. The signal code had been changed after her departure from San Jose, and she did not under stand the reply of the Yosemite. Both ships cleared for action and headed for each other, and only i0O yards of water separated them when they recognized each other On the next morning the Marietta dropped anchor in Key West harbor, having completed her voyage of l2,6OO miles.
 On the long voyage begun at San Jose on March b, completed at Key West on June 1, the Marietta did not have to stop once for repairs, and her machinery was in perfect order on her arrival here. \ coat of gray paint was all she needed to fit her for active service against Spain.
 The gunboat is commanded by Con- mander F. NJ. Symonds, and her other officers are Lieutenant \. McCrackin, executive officer; Lieutenant w. B. Caperton, navigator Lieutenant Heth. erington, Ensigns Benham, Bassett and Raby /: Passed Assistant Engineer W. II. Chambers, Assistant Paymaster E. W.

The Gospel Mission.

The Fort Wrangel Gospel Mission So- cety was organized and incorporated May 90, 1898, for the purpose of carry ing on religious work. First, this or ganization will build a hall. \ plan adopted last spring to build hall, with public reading room and bathing facili- ties has been abandoned, and instead of that two-story building in front of the building now used to hold gospel meetings iii, the lower floor to be con nected with the old building, making a good sized hall, the upstairs to be used for living rooms, will be built. The lot which was purchased of Mrs. Thwing when the boom was at it's highest pitch, and Mrs. Thwing could have sold it for good figure, but she refused to take any offer and held it for the Gospel Mission, for the small sum of 800, and which she now reduces to $50, and having an offer from an equally liberal hearted Christian man in Juneau for this lot. Mrs. living and the Dr. making up the other $50 and deeding over the property to the Gospel Mission Society, leaves us free to go on with the build ing to which we invite all who are in terested in the welfare of Fort Wrangel to help Two lady missionaries of the Peniel Missionary Society, of Los An gelos, Cal, are expected soon after the building is completed, to take charge of the Mission. Peniel missionaries are wholly consecrated Christians whose lot is as described by the founders: Hard work, frugal living, no salary and many precious souls"
 Their work is principally among and for the unconverted, visiting the sa looms and dives, with tracts and the Gospel News, and while that is their principal work, they leave the visiting of families not undone. Surely Fort Wrangel ought to be able to afford to put up a small building without any more help from the outside, for the use of carrying on meetings every night and other Christian work, if they can have the privilege of having among them two lady workers who come to spend their life, energy and all hope of future prospects on this earth, for the sole welfare of others, without salary or even the guarantee of support from
