Despite reports to the contrary, there is
no likelihood that the windows Of houses
in the vicinity of Portland Head and along
the Cape shore are to be shattered today
by conclusions following trial of the
new disappearing guns. It can be stated
on the best of authority that target prac-
tice at the Head will not be engaged in
today or even this month, and a few
moons are likely to come and go before

HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBITIONS.
The exhibitions to be given at Town
hnll and Union Opera house on April IL
and IS by the senior class Of the South

ofswhioh Miss Isabel Brackett is inven
tress, which brings to life famous women
who have been dead for ages, going back
even to Sarah the wife of Abraham in
old Bible times. In the cast are sixteen
female characters who are being drilled
under the direction of Mrs. Parker, wife
of the principal of the school. There will
also be debates in which the boys will
take part, plenty of good music on both
occasions and very likely lady
vocalist from the city will enhanc tn
pleasure OF the evenings.

In localities where it was often noticeable
in former times.
Acting Chief of Police Devery was at

when asked as to what he proposed to do
in his conduct of office, replied that he

LEGATION on the subject.
Prior to the departure of Senator Platr
for Washington today there was con-
ference of the leaders in his apartments
at the Fifth avenue hotel regarding the
police board matters. 1t was spoken of
about the corridors as posi- bility that
Gov. Black would be applied to in the
hope that he may find way to punish
Mayor Van Wyck for the removal of the
police board. No move in this direction,
however, is expected until Senator PIatt's
return, the latter part of this week.
