JERMYN.

The school directors met in regular
session last evening. After the read
ing of the minutes and the payment Of
a few small bills, an application from
two widows for the exoneration of their
property taxes was considered and laid
over for future action.
Considerable time was taken up in
hearing and investigating complaint
from the mother of one of the pupils
against a teacher. From the tone of
the remarks of the directors 1t was
evident that their sympathy was with
the teacher and We're convinced that
the pupil was at fault
1t was reported that there had been
a considerable falling off in the at
tendance at night school and it was
decided to do without one of the two
teachers. Miss McChrone's services
will therefore for the present be dis
pensed with. County superintendent
Taylor was present and stated he had
spent most of the day in going through
the schools and reviewing the work.
He highly priced the system of special
ization recently adopted, and said that
he was convinced that when it became
known that Jermyn had adopted such
working. other schools in the county
would also adopt it.
Messrs. Loughney, Mellow and
Shields were appointed visiting COM
mittee for the present month, and the
board afterwards adjourned.

Il CONSISTENT EFENSE.

d. j. Moran of San Francisco agreed
to take his two sons, who are said to be
mediums, to the State Spiritualists' as
ISOLATION meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska,
and allow them to be used in getting
messages f rom the dead. When he
reached Lincoln he insisted that a no
tice be published announcing that his
children were not flakes" The man
ayers of the meeting refused to publish
the notice, and he refused to allow his
boys to appear. He was then arrested
for using the mails to defraud But he
was discharged on the ground that as
disembodied spirits cannot be made to
appear man cannot be held for refus-
ing to do that which cannot be done
And now the Spiritualists of Nebraska
feel that they We're justified in not an
nouncing that the children of a fakir

INTELLIG ENT FORETGNERS

Foreigners are very intelligent people
when they appreciate and buy what we
have for SALE and they are showing re-
markable intelligence in approaching
and buying our wheat flour. In the fis
cal year of 1899 just closed they have
distinguished themselves by buying
over $4,000 900 barrels. While the de-
mand for our wheat flour grows every
where, the most strongly marked in
crease Is in the Orient. The exporta-
tions of flour to Hong Kong in the year
1899 will considerably exceed 100000
barrels, while in 1889 the total number
was but 37S,634 barrels. Flour for Hong
Kong gees mostly to China, though con-
siderable quantities are shipped direct
from Hong Kong to Japan, the Philip
pines and various islands of Oceanica.
To Japan direct our exports of flour
have grown from 1857 barrels in 1889
to about $4,000 in 1889; to all Asia, from
413 1858 barrels in 1889 to about 1,750OOO
barrels In 1899. To South America the
growth has been less rapid, the total
for 1889 being 1,06S,167 barrels, while
that for 1899 will be a little more than
the figure of a decade ago. Germany,
to which we sent only 1909 barrels of
flour in 1889, takes in 1899 nearly $780,
600 barrels, this being large increase
over last year. Netherlands, to which
We sent but 92,260 barrels in 1889, took
in 1898 over 100000 barrels, the figures
for 1899 not being yet completed To
the United Kingdom our exports of
flour will exceed 10000 900 barrels.
Good work. We need not care who
makes the laws for foreigners so long
as we can feed them and make money
by so doing.

Jamaica, Long Island, isn't in the
South, but it has it's color line. Eliza
beth Cisco lives in Jamaica. She is not
as white on the outside as some of the
people of Jamaica. She has children
whom she wants to give an education.
There is school for colored children in
Jamaica, and Mrs. Ciscos four children
attended that school until she saw that
they were making no progress. Then
she took them to the regular schools,
and their admission was refused. After
repeated efforts to get them into the
public schools she kept them at home,
whereupon some one had her arrested
under the compulsory school law. She
was tried before justice and jury and
acquitted. Later she was again arrest
ed, tried and acquitted. A third time
she was arrested, tried and acquitted,
though in the meantime she was send
ing her eldest boy to a school in New
Brunswick, New Jersey. Now Mrs
Cisco has asked for a peremptory writ
of mandamus ordering the school board
to admit her children to the schools of
Jamaica, and that no distinction be
made in those schools on account of
color. The matter is to be argued be-

of Secretary Alger from the cabinet will
leave in it only three of the members
who entered it at the beginning of the
Observation-Disclosures. Gage, Long,
and Wilson. The number of changes
that have occurred in the two and a
half years of its existence has been very
unusual. Six cabinet officers in all have
resigned their portfolios, either to re-
tire to private life or to accept other
positions at the hands of the President.
These include Secretaries of State Sher~
man, who went out because Of ill-health
and advanced age, and Day, who ac-
cepted United States judgeship; At
torney-Genera1 McKenna, who accepted
a position on the Supreme Court bench
of the United States; Postmaster Gen
eral Gary, who retired because of i'll
health, and Secretary Bliss, of the IN
terror department, who returned to New
York and resumed active connection
with business affairs

ger will retire next Monday. He is re-
ported as being in good spirits and
pleased that he is going to have rest.

A GREAT FIGHT
Both Pugilists Fall on Their Heads Out
side the Ring

New York, November 27.-The prize fight
between Bob Armstrong, the colored heav
weight boxer of Chicago, and Jim Jeffords,
of California, which was slated-to go
twenty-five rounds before the Hercules
Athletic club tonight, ended abruptly in
the third round. Both men went head
foremost from elinch over the rope into
a box at the ringside in the second round,
landing on their heads, and all that could
he seen of them was two pairs of legs and
feet and kicking in the air.
1t took thirty seconds to get the big fell
lows back into the ring again, and Arm
strong sent Jeffords half through the ropes
on his back with a right uppercut. In the
third Jeffords took another header from
the effect of a right swing the jaw. This
took all the steam out of the big fellow
and when he regained his feet he was sent
spra Wiling from a right swinging uppercut
in the vicinity of the belt. Jeffords rolled
over in agony, and his seconds claimed
foul. The referee decided that the blow
landed fairly, and gave his verdict in favor
of Armstrong. After Jeffords had been
counted out he was carried to his corner
by his seconds.
