The same spirit animated BOTH and
loyalty and patriotism would never
cease to inspire the rising generation.
Gen. A. B. r. Sprague, the first lieu
tenant colonel of the regiment, was
next called upon, and he related the
incidents connected with the raising Of
the regiment Five weeks from the
time the word was received to raise
the regiment it was ready to march to
the front, and no regiment ever con-
tanned better soldiers. He referred to
several OF the men as examples Of good
and brave soldiers, and pointing to
Comrade Samuel H. Putnam said he
was fit to have been brigadier gener-
al. There were several such men as he
in the ranks.
Gen. Pickett said: sam" Putnam
was not only capable of being a briga-
dier general, but a major general.
Comrade Putnam was then called upon
to speak for the regiment. He said
that he was incapable Of speaking for
the regiment, which required silver
tongue to tell it's history, but he never
tired of talking of the regiment. He
then related many incidents of the
scription of the battle and charge at
Arrowhead Church. Hon. A. s. Roe. an
honorary member of the association,
was the next speaker, and he was fol-
lowed by Capt. j. Waldo Denny.
Capt. Denny then compared the rec
ord Of the 18th to that of the volun-
teer regiments which have served in
the Cuban campaign, and severely ar
raigned the volunteers for their unsol-
dierly complaints against their treat
ment 1t was not the soldiers province
to complain against the action of his
superiors; and Furthermore, Capt
Denny declared the hardships could
not compare with those suffered by the
men of the 25th.
He made special reference to the 25th
regiment at Port Hudson, and com
pared this service with that Of Gen.
Skaters troops in Cuba The number
of men engaged in the former was
about 1900 and in the latter about
$1,000. OF the number engaged in Cuba
| the loss by death from wounds or dis
ease were represented as .066 of the to-
tai force, while at Port Hudson, in the
same malaria1 climate during the
month Of July, 1888, the 18th suffered
a loss Of more than per cent Of the
force engaged.
| This speech created much excitement,
and Col. Fred w. Wellington, who is
an honorary member Of the association,
replied to Capt. Denny's remarks, and
warmly defended the volunteers. He
was followed by Capt. J. B. Knox, j. G.
| Spaulding, Col. James M. brennan, c.
F. Goodwin, c. F. Tew and George N.
Newhall, most of whom toned down
Capt. Denny's remarks to consider
able extent. The meeting closed with
the reading of a poem by Capt. Denny
which was dedicated to Gen. Josiah
Pickett, Commander in the hot timeI

terday, the sum of one dollar is left
TO each of two daughters, Mary Beat

nlains his reason for cutting his child
rem off with so small bequest thus:

THE SCHOOL JANlToRs.
They are Responsible to the Buildings De-
plrtmsnt for the Performance Of Duty.

At the meeting Of the school commit
tee, Tuesday night, the opinion of the
city solicitor on the authority of the
school committee and of the superin-
tendent of public buildings over school
houses and janitors of school buildings
was received. The question has been
a perplexing one for the school COM
mittee and to definitely determine the
exact authority of the committee City
Solicitor Rugg was asked for his opin-
ion. The matter, too, has been of gen
eraI interest to the public. Lack of
space prevented its publication yester-
day morning, but it is here condensed
for the readers of The Spy.
The solicitor cited sections in the
city charter which define the respon-
sibilities of the school committee in
regard to supplying the needs Of and
FOR school houses, and later referred
to the city charter and revisions of the
same, which refer to the appointment
Of superintendent of public buildings,
whose duties are to care for all build
ings owned by the city,
In direct reference to the question,
City Solicitor Rugg says: 1T must
AAOb W 0AA0SAbIOOu lIldb THIS matter is
one which has been determined by the
supreme court, and therefore there is
no direct and absolute authority in ref
erence to it.
Il am therefore of the opinion that
the janitors of all school buildings in
this city should be appointed by, and
be under the control of the superin-
tendent of public buildings. 1t will.
Of course, be understood that they are
to perform their functions solely for
the accommodation Of the public
schools and that it is the duty Of the
superintendent of public buildings to
see to it that the janitors exercise such
care in the performance of their work
as best facilitates the furtherance of
the cause of public education.
He would be derelict in the per-
Torrance of mis- duty, if inefficient or
incompetent persons were allowed to
occupy places, upon whose faithful and
competent performance Of duty de-
ponds in SO large degree the comfort Of
both teachers and scholars and the
| efficiency of school work.
Il am brought to the above conclu-
| sions upon general consideration of
the intention Of all the provisions of
the charter as compared with the gen
eral provisions Of the law apart from
the charter"
