His Necktie Worried Them

A New York writer states that young
Du Maurier. who is engaged to marry Miss
Barrymore, is a slight smooth-faced Eng
lishman, who attracted more attention in
New York by wearing a bright red necktie
few weeks after his fathers death than
by anything else he did here. He was ami
able and agreeable and typically English
in manner as well as in speech and dress.
He received small fortune as his share of
his fathers estate, and Is not likely from
present indications, to increase 1t very
greatly through his success as an actor.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Announcement
Bert Coote, one of the drollest funmakers
on the stage, is to be a leading attraction
this week. Coote was the star in that well
known farce-comedy, 1.-The New Boy"
His success in vaudeville Is shown by the
demand in which he and Miss Julie Kings
ley are held by leading vaudeville manag-
ers. They will present their own farcical
sketch, Supper for Two" in which they
have won distinction in New York. Boston
and Philadelphia. This is their first visit
to the coast.
Mrs. Alice Shaw, whose fame as the orig
inal whistling prima donna is world wide
will divide honors with Coote In the now
bill. Mrs. Shaw broke the Ice in her pc
culiar field ten years ago. and whistlers are
now not so rare. Mrs. Shaw, however. is
unique in more respects than one and still

whistled before the Prince of Wales, the
crowned heads of Europe and other nota-
bles. Mrs. Shaw's twin daughters, Elsie
and Ethel, will appear during the act and
introduce several original features.

morrow night "Cncle Toms Cabin" under
the personal direction of l.. r. Stockwell,

part of Marks, the lawyer. The company
at this theater is so far above the average
that good performance may be expected.
The piece admits of some strong scenic eff
fects, and in this respect will not be ne
elected. The cute little donkey, the joy of
the juvenile heart, and without which the
play would be incomplete, will be on hand
to carry on the irrepressible Marks when
he tries to buy a darkey for rs cents. In
the scene where amidst excitement Eliza is
pursued by dogs across the ice In the river
real, fierce bloodhounds, expressly brought
from San Francisco will be used. Num-
bers of real negroes, who sing and dance

he hoped her Portia would grace those
boards very frequently in the future. He
proceeded to say that his next Shakespear-
can revival would be Richard II, a play
that has not been acted in London for
forty years. He apparently abandoned his

was all very we'll, but Mr.. Tree found after

Sickness or Hardness.

Supt. Varney reported that the
average attendance at the Pleasant
grove building during September was
1856, and during October 345. The
attendance was due to the outbreak
of measles and scarlet fever. The
number belonging at the close of Sep
TENDER was 1853, and at the close of
October was 361, showing that the
pupils have recovered from the scare,
There are still few cases of measels,
The total enrolment in the building
is 418.
Mr.. Varney also referred to the
question of hardness. In the
high school during October there
were % cases, while in the
eighth and preparatory grades
in the same building there were none.
In the Franklin building there were
IA, Union "a, Pleasant Grove 20, and
West Mankato q cases. The per-
centage of hardness in all the schools
last month was one. fifth of one per
cent, and while the percentage in the
high school was two-fifths of one per
cent, and the high school pupils are
older tban.the others.
Mr.. Varney said that the attend
ance, except in the high school, COM
pares favorably with that of other
cities. The high school enrollme Mt
is 153. There were no cases of disci.
pline to report.
Mr.. Fletcher said that too much
money is being placed in the high
school and too little in the primary
grades. There are 200 who enter the
primary grades to ten who graduate
from the high school. While prop.
erty in the city is decreasing in value,
expenses have been increasing in every
department of city government.
Supt. Varney said that this year 60
have entered the high school and 33
will graduate. The school tax in Man
kato is one of the smallest in the
United States.
Mr.. Fletcher replied that the tax
might have been heavier if the board
had not watched the expenses closely.
The board might have erected an ex-
pensive building in East Mankato for
fifteen pupils, and have been paying
interest on it ever since, for example.
Mrs. Smith reported that the school
committee had adopted Wheeler's
Graded Studies in English as the text
book for the fifth grade.

and Franklin buildings, by the month
for such time as the board sees fit.
Mr.. Fletcher favored the one-ses.
sion plan until cold weather and the
January promotions reduce the size
of the primary grades.
DR.. Webster said that he didn't
favor patch work, and the present
condition is disgrace to US. Either
let matters go on as they are now I'M
til the conditions become more evil
dent or remedy the trouble in the
right way.
Mr.. Fletcher said that he did not
believe that the present condition
would exist long. Rather than hire
new teachers let US build new
school house or lease quarters tempo
rarily. There is no room in the
present buildings for more teachers.
Mr.. Varney said that the extra
teachers would not be needed longer
than until the January promotions.
Mr.. Fletcher said that he had no
confidence in the plan of having two
teachers working in one room. Many
of the primary children are too young
to go to school at all, and half day
session would be long enough for
them.
Mr.. Parry remarked that it would
not be safe to 60 through the district
and tell the parents that.

avalanche of amendments and Sec
onds, but finally DR.. Webster's mo-
tion as above worded was carried,

''As lawyer, Mr.. Kelly is not only

He came to st. Paul from an obscure

hand, have nominated for this office
Wallace B. Douglass, Of Moorhead.
Mr.. Douglass is an upright. able law
yer of recognized ability throughout
the state, and with such a nominee
as Mr.. Kelly on the opposing ticket
his election is conceded. Until the
Democratic party learns that it can
not trife with voters as it has in this

nominees defeated at the polls by big
majorities."

Will Not Prosecute.

DR.. Webster reported in regard to
the case of larceny from the West
Mankato building that he had inter-
viewed Mrs. Evans and her son, Ed,
and Will Swan and his sister. The
story OF the boys was that while herd
ing cows they plotted to enter the
school house. They collected their
money for herding in the evening and
told their parents that they were
going out for this purpose. They got
into the school house through the
cellar window, easily pushing the sash
up, and went up stairs, where they
took two large Biographies and four
boxes of paint. They hid these at
Swans home, putting the books and
one box of paint under mortar box
and three boxes of paint into the
bureau. They went to @. W. War

did not belong to them. They went
to Stewart & Holmes and Evan did
the bartering while Swan waited on

divided. They went to restaurant
and spent nearly all of the money,

MORE TEACHERS.
Two New Ones Required For
Primary Work.
School Board Decides Not to Prosecute
the Boys Who BurgIarized the
West Mankat0 Building.

The school board held it's regular
monthly meeting last night with all
of the members present except Capt.
KeySor.
Mrs. Smith called attention to the
crowded conditions Of the primary
departments of the Union and Frank
lin buildings, and Supt. Varney made
a statement in regard to it.
1t was suggested that half day ses-
sions be held in the Union the same
as in the Franklyn school, so that all
can be accommodated. Mr.. Wilson
protested against this, saying that
the parents of children who were ad-
mitted only half day would object
if other Children were admitted for a
full day.
Mr.. Fletcher said that the schools
in Minneapolis are so crowded that
1000 children can go to school but
half day.
Supt. Varney said that reports
from several cities state that at the
end of the second year, children who
have gone to school on the half day
plan have been as far advanced as
those who went all day. He could
not understand it.
1t was suggested that two teachers
could occupy the same room, one hear
ing reel citations and the other attend
ing to seat work.

teacher be employed at the Union
