IN THE PUBLIC Schools.

At meeting of the principals OF the st.
Paul schools yesterday afternoon at the Cen
trail high school building, Supt. Smith called
attention to the fact that st. Paul was not
the only city that had suffered from re-
duction in the valuation of property.
In Chicago the school board had Just issued
q circular stating that the graded schools
would be closed one week earlier and the
high schools two weeks earlier than usual
this year on account of deficiency in the
tax levy.
supt- Smith specially commended the eff
forts of tho board to the teachers as 1t had
always had the interest of the teachers in
mind and had made the best possible use Of
the limited amount at It's disposal.
Supt. Smith announced that the pictures
purchased ~ the school union out of the
proceeds of the art exhibit" a year ago.
you'd be on exhibition for a few days at
Stevens Roberson's art store. where they
could be seen by all interested in the work
OF the school uEion.
Inquiry Yesterday at the office of the
school beard in the. Central high school de
veloped the fact that the board does not
carry cent OF insurance upon any of tho
school buildings in the city. and has not for
some years
About ten years ago an insurance fund was
created when the board proposed to carry
It's own insurance. and save the premiums
The first year an appropriation of $500 was
n.ane Tor TINS purpose by the city council.
Every year following the city fathers refused
to make this appropriation. AS the fund did
not grow any and was laying idle, with no
prospects that the council would make any
further provision for insurance the school
beard asked permission two years ago to uso
It for repairs, and it was used in 1897 for
that purpose.
The German school Journal published by
the alumni of the school, made Its initial ap-
ptarance yesterday and in the future its
publication will take place the first Of every
month.
The following is the editorial staff which
contributes to the interest of the paper

SLOW TO CONGRATULATE.

Chamber of Commerce Reluctantly
Wishes Mr.. Merriam Good Luck.
The name Of the new census director, Will
lam r. Merriam. figured In a peculiar Incl
dent at meeting of the chamber Of COM
MERGE. held yesterday.
Mr.. Espy introduced resolution reciting
Mr.. Merriam's nomination and confirmation
as director of the census, and providing that
the congratulations of the chamber of COM
meIce be sent to the gentleman named. He
moved that the resolutions be adopted under
suspension Of the rules.
There were a few yeas" and a still
stronger chorus Of mays and, after wait
ing in some doubt a moment, President
Lghtner declared the motion lost. He then
cast around for suitable committee to
send the resolutions to. and decided that az
Mr.. Merriam local man, and his ap-
pointment was Of local interest, that the
committee municipal affairs was the prop
one to consider the matter.
Later Gen. Sanborn said he believed the
had been two terms governor of the state,
and would now be director of census for two
or three years, and it was perhaps better
that he be congratulated. Therefore the vote
by which the original motion was lost was
reconsidered, and the chamber adopted Mr..
Espys resolutions.
E. v. Smalley, who has just returned from
Washington, where he has been for several
months. was greeted by the chamber and in
vfted to speak.

this point Capt. Sigsbee says
What l actually said to the admiral
was that Pilot Nunez had first express

might get, In. with the aid Of tugs.
Every officer on board the ST Paul

Santiago: nevertheless I considered
Nunez's opinion"
He says that he first saw the fleet
in the harbor May 20, and signaled
Admiral Schley, and adds:
While | had not known from pre-
vious observation that Cervera's fleet
was in Santiago. I believed that it was
there, because I had been SO informed

really remarkable.
Prof Houdini is tied manacled and Sc

the cabinet is overturned and Mrs. Houdini

TAKES HIS OWN CHANGE.
Every Man Who Rides on an Ele
ya+Dr In tho CItv Hall

Every Man Who Rides on an Eie-
vatOr In the City Hall.
Anybody who rides in the elevators at the
city hall takes their own risks, and in case
of accident cannot come back at the city
or county for damages. That fact was dis
covered yesterday when the committee on
public grounds and buildings of the joint city
hall and court house commission which was
Instructed to secure liability insurance, began
to make inquiries.
At the meeting of the commission held last
Thursday two offers from casualty insurance
companies were received, both agreeing to in.
sure the city against possible loss for $lO5
per annum. Mayor Kiefer thought that IN.
surance should be secured before the elevators
were started and the committee was empow-
cred to make the necessary arrangements.
Yesterday Assemblynlan Nelson, chairman
of the subcommittee, discovered that under
an old supreme court ruling any one injured
in an elevator in a public building has no
redress. Consequently the insurance COM
panies are cut a possible si05 and the people
will have to take large chances.

Capt. Andres Will Enlist Men In IN

Capt. E. P. Andres. of the Fifth cavalry.
arrived here yesterday and reported at army
headquarters for recruiting duty to which
he has been assigned by the war department.
He came in from Milwaukee, where he has
served On mastering duty several weeks
Capt. Andres had not decided yesterday
whether to establish his headquarters in the
city or at Fort Smelling. but he thought it
would be better to have an office in the cen,
tral section of St. Paul. The men enlisted
may then be sent to the Fort and the re-
jected ones will not have to go to the trouble
and expense of travelling to Smelling.
Capt Andres wants all the men he can
get for all branches of the army service. The
age limit has been extended to 50 years SO
it Is likely he may secure more recruits than
he would had the old limit of 80 years been
continued

THEIR DAY TO FEEL UNEASY

The state board of prison managers
met at the prison this morning. II Mr.
Temple has his way the meeting will
be executive. If the new members take
a hint at the action Of the reformed
normal school board the public will
know what comes off at the institution.
Since Deputy Warden Lemon has re-
signed there has been a feeling that
other men around the institution might
also resign. DR.. Merrill. who has been
an active partisan politician as we'll as
practicing physician, may weary of his
POSITION today. So may George BlXby.

ing IL Colligan and Glennon where also
allowed to look for positins elsewhere.
Wolfer. however. has felt under obliga-
tins to Glennon ever since the prison

as long as he can. He was willing to
give Glennon place any time he want
ed 1t. and unless he is advised to the
contrary will probably keep both Col
Igan and Glennon. He likes Colligan.
Colligan got chill the first day that
Deputy Warden Alexander took hold,
for while Lemons resignation doesn't
take effect until March 10, he is not,
nor has he been. on duty for several
days. In fact, he has not been around
the institution at all.
The first day that Alexander held
court, Colligan, as chief prosecutor of
the convicts, stepped up beside the first
man to appear before Alexander. When
Colligan had heretofore said man was
guilty, of some infraction Of the prison
rules, he found 1t convenient to stand
beside the accused where he could af
firm his charges, provided the man
denied 1t. Alexander was on and would
have meme Of 1t.

judge here. and I'll try these cases
myself
And he has. ever since.
The board today may also inquire
into the report that two ex-convicts
whose names. have been furnished The
