scholars of our public schools is being
made at the High school building, begin
ming today and continuing until Wednes-
day of next week. 1t consists of samples
of the clay modelling, moulding, color
drawing, writing. paper folding, drawing
from nature. specimens of compositions,
written work, and text papers The eX-
hibit is open to the public and all are urged
to take advantage of this opportunity to
see the work of the schools. The school Of
ficials feel the parents and other citizens
do not keep enough in touch with the work
of the schools, and that few ever visit the
schools compared with the interest shown
in other places of this size. Il is held in
the north recitation room on the second
floor of the building and is open from S:3O
to 6 each day. The spring meeting of the
Connecticut Valley Teachers association,

ANNUAL SNAKE HUNT.
Peculiar Custom That Prevails IN Mas
sachusetts.

The young men Of Byfeld have =
custom Of celebrating the advent Of
spring gwith agrandreptle hunt which
is probably indigenous to this section
alone, but it has been followed there
for many years, and the sport is par
ticipated in by large company Of
! young men. A great many years ago
a party Of young men who were wend-
ing their way through a rough pas
ture many miles from any habitation
discovered a spot Of remarkable
: beauty and stopped there to rest. One
OF the party caught sight Of a snake Of
unusual size, which was no sooner
dispatched than another was seen
gliding along the ground. In few
moments they were wriggling about
IN all directions, and the young men
discovered that they werein the midst
Of a den Of snakes, The ground was
filed with snake holes, the winter
abode Of countless numbers Of the
reptiles.
The young men rained stones on
the heads OF the snakes until they
were tired and then decamped, not
having lessened the number to any
perceptible degree. Since that time,
about the middle Of April, party Of
men arm themselves with shovels and
cudgels and stones and raid tie snake
colony. Every year finds NO diminu-
ton in the number of snakes, and con-
sequentlythereis an abundance Of the
"sportt.' y tits not everyone, however,
who takes delight in this kind Of
sport; for the vriggling, Shiny crea-
tures just awaking from their winter
torpor are not pleasant-looking Gus
toners. It is not related that any
woman ever took part in any Of these
expeditions.

sanctifed and satisfied, too. Righteous
ness is their w%atchword and victory is
their reward. They live in the fear Of
the Lord" The New MEXICAN knows
nothing about their satisfied feeling, but
if any set of politicians ever had reason
to live in the fear of the Lord, the San
Juan county Democrats have reason to,
The fate of the man who has u milestone

State boards OF arbitration for the
settlement Of labor troubles don't seem
to arbitrate worth u continental. The
trouble Is that the members Of the
boards have not yet been able to please
both sides of u strike. The principle Is
all wrong anyway. No employer OF
labor will any longer permit his en-
ploycs to manage the business In which
w%orkingmen have no other interest than
to draw their wages, and II the men
who work for wages are not satisfied
they IRE privileged to quit at once. but
they have no right to close down bust
ness enterprises or to prevent other
laborers taking the work left. That
principle Of conducting enterprise was
onco thoroughly understood and will
have TO be learned again before labor
troubles cease. Boards Of arbitration
can not effect a settlement Of troubles
where the use Of q little common sense
would avoid all difficulty.

Wanted: A New Issue.

The action taken by several state
Democratic conventions shows clearly
that that party will be split in the next
campaign on the annexation question.
Chairman Jones, of the national Demo-
cratic committee, In an interview the
other day endeavored to unite his party
on the opposition of the acquisition of
additional territory, hoping to raise a
new issue for the Democratic party
which Joined with what remains OF the
free silver sentiment in the country,
would consolidate the opposition to the
Republicans and result in tho election
of a majority of the next lower house of
congress. Other leaders of the Demo-
cratic party have attempted the same
thing but have failed for the reason that
they failed to understand tho sentiment
of the people on territorial expansion.
In the Texas convention all resolu-
tions condemning the Republicans for
the conduct of the wal were lost and
the anti-annexationlsts were effectually
turned down. The action of the Texas
Democrats will In q large measure de-
| termine the action of the New York
convention, although the Democrats Of
tho east are waiting for the action of
the Missouri convention before fully
deciding what position they will take re-
garding annexation. At least the would
be leaders are, but judging from the
comments of the party organs, tho rank
and file of the party are opposed to any
thing which does not advocate the hold
ing of all the lands which have been oc-
cupied by the armies of the United
States.
The complete collapse of the free trade
sentiment in the country and the wan
ing of the free silver strength has placed
the Democrats In a position where u
new issue must be raised, and it does
not matter much what question Is used
for that purpose, just so it Is In opposi-
ton to the policy of tho Republican
party. But in attempting to use the
question of annexation as that issue a
mistake was made which is just begin
ming to be realized. The great majority
of the voters of this country are In favor
of holding the Philippine islands, and
they will not submit to the dictation OF
a few leaders in that matter.
The Democrats who pose Us head and
front OF the party will have to make an
other trial at discovering something the
people think they want or are satisfied
with, and the next best thing for the
Joneses and Altgelds and Baileys to
tackle Is to oppose the bringing OF gold
into the states from Klondike.

White Campers.

White Cappers.
In the regular course of the United
States mail service n good citizen of De-
troit received a letter tho other morn
ing. 1t was not al artistic production,
but had u dire Significance. In one cor
her, done in red ink and uncertain
lines, were skull and c~rossbones, Il de-
moniac effect appearing about the eyes
because Of a stroke of genius accom-
plished after the amateur artist drove
his pen into the wrong bottle.
This letter broke to the receiver the
intelligence that he was in imminent
danger Of being blown up, suspended by
the heels or whipped to an inanimate
state unless he treated his boys better.
He was too harsh with them, and tho
people would not tolerate it. Hereafter
they must be allowed to attend matt
nees, not less than II II week, and they
must go to every circus that anne to
town. Like consideration must be shown
as to baseball and football or the trou-
BILE would commence and the White
Caps would attend to the matter.
When the recipient of this missive
sat down to dinner, he looked troubled.
Tommy and Benny, the twins, also had
things on their minds. Finally Tommy
wriggled in his chair and said, did
you get it, papa?" Tommy wound up
with II grunt, for Benny punched him
severely in the ribs. But it was too
late. The old gentleman did not require
that he DO buried under II skyscraper in
order to take n hint. He was 80 relieved
in mind that he adjourned the meal Mt
once, and in the back shed Tommy and
Benny did II composite dance to the
tune of n stout branch from the lilac
bush.-Detroit Free Press.
