C,.b Register COMPANY sue,

The National Cash Register Company,
of Cleveland, Ohio. filed a bill in equity
today. against Charles C. Whelan, the
proprietor of the Cottage Lunch Room, to
restrain the use of Hallwood cash regis
ter. The bill alleges that the defendant
is using in his business the Hallwood cash
register. which the complainant claims, is
an infringement of its patent rights. The
bill alleges that although the defendant
has been notified to discontinue the use of
the cash register in his possession he re-
fuses to do so, and the complainant there
fore asks for an injunction restraining it's
use. and for an order requiring the de-
fendant to deliver up the cash register in
his possession and for triple damages sus-
tained by the complainant because OF the
willful and unjust infringement by the de-
fendant of the complainant's patent. At
the same time a similar suit was filed
against Clarence III. Reizenstein. Clarence
A. Brandenburg, and Alvan Macauley are
the solicitors for the complainant.

MEDICAL WORK OF THE ARMY.
Its Discussion by the American So
ciety Probable.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 13.-Local dele
gates to the annual session of the Ameri-
can Medical Society. which meets next
month in Columbus, have appointed n
committee to draft resolutions regarding
the army medical service.
1t is thought probable that the character
of the medical service during the war with
Spain will be the subject OF some plain
talk at the convention. II is held by other
physicians besides those in this city that
the system OF political appointments in the
medical service should stop. and that the
powers of the Surgeon General should be
broadened SO that hereafter the department
may transport its own supplies.
A prominent physician here said at a
meeting Of the delegates yesterday that
while he would not favor resolutions at
tacking the Surgeon General, he would
support any measure to broaden the scope
Of his office. Other delegates are less con-
servative.

THE CHINESE DRAMA.
Celestial Actors the Hardest Worked
People on Earth.


(From the London Times.)
In Lord Le;ghtons studio, Holland Park
Road, Kensington, a lecture for the benefit
of the Leighton House fund. was delivered
on Thursday by Archibald Little, of Chung
King, China, on Chinese drama and Chi
nese Industries At the outset Mr.. Little
explained that. though it might appear TO
be incompatible to treat of two such sub
jects as the drama and industries in one
discourse. the Chimes actors were in real
ity the most hard-worked people on the
face of the earth. There was scarcely
town or village in China without Its thea
tire: neither was there a dinner. private OF
public without the accompaniment OF thea
tricals. He gave an account of the drama
from the year 1000 B. C. down to modern
times The old drama was distinctly and
purely religious. consisting chiefly of dane
ing and posturing. Confucius had stated
that the old dramas represented the occu-
pations of the people. The religious dances
constituted the only Chinese drama until
500 B. c., but the plays which were now
to be witnessed in every Chinese town
we're called modern. although we might be
inclined to dispute how far that term was
applicable. seeing that they nearly all
belonged to the eighth and ninth centuries
Of the Christian era.
The Chinese stage at the present day was
almost an exact reproduction OF the stage
of Shakespeare's time. The female char
acters were sustained by boys. and there
was no scenery. There was. however.

scenery, for it compelled the actors to
show exceptional aptitude, and their de-
lineations were so faithful that the plays
could always be followed with intelligent
interest By notification. which appeared
at the hack of the stage the audience were
informed that the actors would hold the
mirror up to nature, from which it might
almost be assumed that Shakespeare had
Travelled even to China. The love Of the
theatre permeated all classes Of Chinese.
the poor were admitted free to the pit OF
the theatres, and the dramas gave won

events outside those which had occurred
under the reigning dynasty. After allud-

CHILD-HUNT IN THE WOODS.
BOwhan Fears wild Beast Has
Destroyed His Little Boy.

Gouverneur. N. Y. May 1S.-The five
year-old son of Martin Bowhall. resident
of Harrisville, has been missing since
Monday. The village is near the Adiron-
dack woods. and the child is supposed to
have wandered into the forest and lost his
way.
Parties with torches searched the woods
all Monday night. and each day since
crowds of men have searched in vain for
the child.
Besides searching the woods, the numer-
Gus lakes and ponds have been thoroughly
dragged. 1t is now believed that the boy
has become victim of some wild beast

Extracts from Superintendent
Annual Report.
Gentlemen of the Board of Educa-
tion:-It is pleasant duty {, report
the work of another school year and to
briefly set forth the condition and
needs of the schools that are under
your care.
As l see it, the year has marked q
decided step forward IN theintellectusl
life of the community A new church
has been built and paid for, q first
class lecture course has been success
fully carried out. several concerts of q
very high order have been given by To-
cal musical talent and greatly appre-
ciated by the public, free city library
has been established, several clubs and
societies for the study of literature and
art have been successfully conducted,
and Few of our young people have
spent the year In attendance at stand
ard colleges. In the general intellect
ual progress shown by these events
and movements, the public schools of
the city have enjoyed part.
Perhaps the schools of the people are
more reliable index to the real life of
community than is almost any other
institution. In the public schools are
Catholics and Professionals, Jews and
Gentiles, the representatives Of all
political beliefs and of every class and
order of society. In such community
as this, we have in the public school
the children of many natlonalities and
of homes that represent the extremes
of social conditions. Because of this
fact, increased interest in public educa-
ton, greater enthusiasm and earnest.
ness on the part of pupils, marked i'm.
provements in the character andquant-
ity of work accomplished, and closer
sympathy between the homes and the
school, all point to general social
betterment.
Because of these same conditions
the school is evidently the most potent
factor in the quickening and uplifting
of the entire community. No othel
single institution no combination OF
other forces, has, in such community
as ours, the power to reach all classes
and to permanently and certainly i'm
|prove social conditions, as has the pub
lie school. While 1t is of the people
and must in many senses reflect the
average of public sentiment, it should
be made creator of opinion. If oul
best citizens take hold of this import
ant public institution and give it free
ly of their time and influence, they will
make it stand for what ought to b,
rather than for what is, and through
1t they will in time shape the commun
lily to higher models and ideals.
4 This is just what many of our citi
zens are doing. and it is matter OF
congratulstion that school affairs II
this city have been kept in the hands
of unseltsh, intelligent men and thai
with the approval of all the people, NJ
difference how much dissension snt
wasteful experimentation may some
times have been. seen in connection
with other PUBLIC institutions. Fol
this reason the schools are leading
rather than following public opinion.

important items of enrolment and tn,
distribution of pupils among the diff
ferent schools:
