jections were raised by other members to
initiating any change on retirement from
Office, so the matter was referred to the SUI
perintendent Of schools for investigation, to
report to the new board.
President Davis expressed his thanks to
the members of the board for the constant
courtesy extended to himself during his
term of office. 1t was matter of real sat
isfaction to him that all contentious in the
board were not due to personal feelings but
to honest differences of opinion, which left
the members with hearty respect for each
other.
When adjournment was proposed the
board was in quandary. Several contend
ed that it was necessary to meet once more
to approve of the minutes of the present
meeting. Who was to approve the minutes
Of the special meeting was left undecided.
The majority inclining to the view that an
other meeting would be needful, it was put
and carried that when adjournment was
taken it would be until Saturday night.

AMERICANS RUSH TOO HARD
Consequently They Fail to Extract the
Real Joys Out Of Life

In the January Ladies' Home Journal
Edward Box deplores the sense of rush that
has taken possession of the American wo-
men, and emphasizes the dangers arising
from this condition of unrest. "Take our
family life today" he says. "Look around
ones own family circle, look into its life,
look into the families We know, and tell me
if am SO far wrong when say that what
our American families need more than any.
thing else is more time with each other;
more drawing together; more moments OF
being alone with each other; a greater ex-
traction of the peace and comfort from those
material surroundings which each so earn
estfy strives for, and all are too much
satisfied to strive for simply to possess, and
nothing more. We are all too much in a
hurry in America to allow of our knowing
and enjoying each other; our lives are too
full with the things which ought to be Sec
ondary, and which we have allowed to domi-
nate us. We are all too busy; men and
women, girls and boys-all of us. We are
not getting the rich beauties out of life; the
greatest enjoyments out of living. Rush
and haste are too much upon us. The
sweet balm of peace and quiet is an unknown
delight to thousands of people. And much
OF the cause, disagreeable as it is to say it.,
lies with our women, who have of late al
lowed their lives to become too full. Twill
not say that they have neglected, to any
alarming extent, the fundamental duties Of
wifehood and motherhood But do say
that the danger Of doing so in the very near
future exists, in many an instance, if things
are allowed to go on as they have gone"

Howard Gould Allowed His Share

Howard Gould will not be kept out of
half his $40 900, 600 share in the Gould estate
because of his marriage to Katherine Glenn
mons. This has just been determined at a
family council.
1t was agreed that Howard should be left
in undisturbed possession of his fortune or
SIC, ,000, 900, one-half of which he would have
been called upon to forfeit under the en-
forcement of clause in his fathers will.
This clause expressly declared that any one
of Mr.. Gould's children who should marry
without the consent of the others should
forfeit one half of his or her fortune, which
should be equally divided among the other
children. There was the strongest opposi-
ton in the family from the first to Howard
attentions to Miss Clemmons, and it was
unquestionably due to this opposition, which
was backed by the forceful argument of the
entailed estate of s5,0O0,OOO, that SO long
delayed Mr.. Gould's marriage. There are
two reasons why this action was taken. The
first, and probably the most cogent, is that
not one of the heirs would for an instant
consider the proposition that they should
benefit by the enforcement of the penalty
against their brother There was no relax
alton of their dsapproval of his course, bu
they resolutely declined to profit by it.
Ex-Judge Dillon, who drew up the will o.
Jay Gould, said Thursday that there never
had been any real controversy as to How

the fact that the room over the engine in
the high school building was but little used
by reason of noise and vibration. It was
determined that the basement should be
either plastered or ceiled, and the matter
was referred to the incoming committee.
The report of Mr.. Hogan further recon-
mended the erection at the Eighth street
school of room for kindergarten, said
building not to exceed $475 in cost. After
some discussion this part Of the report was
also adopted.
Bills to the amount Of $lS84.45, to be paid
from the county fund, and 1860 80, from the
city moneys, were reported by the finance
committee and ordered paid. From the in
surance committee the board learned that
the insurance carried on sixteen city school
buildings for the next year would amount
to $l33, $50, we'll distributed among twenty
odd companies.
The designations Of O. Y. Root and Amelia

SCHOOL BOARD BUSINESS

but their seats and others were filed by
Messrs. Washburn, Wincup, Stearns and

Profting by Roosevelt's Election

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's house at
Oyster Bay is nearly three miles from the
station, and this fact has not only saved
the governor-elect from host Of rrespon-
sible visitors, but it has proved source Of
unexpected profit to the hackmen. One of
them said last week that Colonel Roosevelt
election had brought him $500 in extra fares.
The most successful cabman Of them all is
Republican, and six months ago all Of his
rivals were Democrats. After election the
Republican driver got SO many more fares
than his rivals that the latter began t.
have doubts about the wisdom Of free silver,
and the village rumot has it that some OF
them have shaded their politics to suit their
fares. The regular commuta. Ion hack
fare from the station to Colonel Roosevelt =
house was increased shortly before election
from fifty cents to 81 for the round trip, but
strangers pay according to their appearance
If man looks like politician the cabmen
charge him %. If he looks like wealthy
politician they make no bargain with him
until the ride is ended, and then the driver
throws himself on his generosity. The man
who offers cabman less than 81, when the
cabman leaves it to him Ito say what's
right" is bound to regret it il he is at all
sensitive. A very able member Of the Re
publican state committee was carried out
to Colonel Roosevelt's house two weeks ago
by one of the local cabmen, and when the
latter returned to the station he looked dis
gusted.
"How much did you get?" asked rival.
'Only two-ffty. He said that was all the
money he had in his clothes" and the rivals
