MATERNAL SOLICITUDE.
An Old Lady Hears There VIII
Be War With Germany and
Becomes Anxious About !.
Willie.

The officers of the Battalion of the East
of the Naval Reserve who were gathered
aft on the gun deck of the old Ports
mouth were startled when q bunch Oh
skirts appeared at the head of the ladder
leading from the spar deck and slowly but
gradually developed into a neatly dressed
old lady of ample proportions and an I'M
~mistakable Milesian countenance. Hei
face wore a most lugubrious expression
and it was evident that the old lady had
trouble on her mind.
Cautiously she picked her way down the
ladder and approached the officers as
though the ship was at sea in a storm,
instead of lying on an even keel in Hobo
kens peaceful mud. She carried her hand
half way to her bonnet like the salute
of a blaze admiral and timidly asked
Gould l see the Captin?"
Lieutenant Commander Mclean was
pointed out to her.
"Captin," she began, in a voice SO over
| loaded with emotion that it was shaky,
ssOi do be hearin' there'll be war wild
Jarmanny. Will me bye Willie have to
go?"
1t was ascertained that Willie was a
first class coal passer in the third division
of the reserve and had served with credit
on the Badger during the Spanish war.
The old lady was assured that Willie
would not have to go unless he wanted to
even if it did become necessary to spank
the German Emperor. The old lady
heaved a sigh of relief and turned to
climb the ladder as the officers touched
their caps in recognition of her maternal
Solicitude.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NO. 20.
New Board Of Education Will Take
Up Subject.

The present Board of Education will
hold its final meeting on Thursday to
make a clear way for the incoming. board.
There are a number of claims to settle
and other routine matters to dispose of.
So far as this Board is concerned the
question of the new building for Public
School No. 20 is a dead issue. The new
board will take it up. The situation is
this:-An architect has been selected and
the old site of the school decided upon.
The last Board of Finance was asked to
appropriate the money, but being SO close
to the new administration it was left for
Mayor Hoos' new board to tackle. In all
probability they will do SO at the next
meeting. Then proposals for bids will be
advertised and the work begun as soon as
possible.
the new school will not be readyN Until
next year, probably for the fall. 1900.
