NO LONGER A SCHOOL TRUSTEE.
Gossip Awakened by Mrs. Mary c.
TerreIps Resignation.


Mrs Mary c. Terrell rendered her resig-
nation yesterday as one of the colored
members OF the Board of Public School
Trustees. She had been a member of the
board for five years, and il was known
that her relations with her associate trus-
tees were most harmonious. and she was
held in high esteem by the Commissioners,
as is generally known, since on two former
occasions they refused TO accept her resig
nation. These facts made it evident that
some other motive prompted the resigna-
tion. hence the surprise which followed the
formal announcement that Mrs. Terrell
would no longer serve as trustee.
Several colored men interested in school
affairs claim to have discovered a motive.
They say that Dr. Sterling n. Brown,
Thomas H. Wright, and George n. Brown,
three colored members of the Board Of
School Trustees. held 4 meeting late yes
terday afternoon and discussed the ap-
pointment of a successor 10 Henry p.
Montgomery, late supervising principal of
the Ninth school division. who died last
week Ii was decided 20 recommend the
transfer Of W. s. Montgomery, now prin-
cipal of the colored High School, 10 fill
Robert II. Terrell for principal OF the COL
ored High School Terrell is the husband
of Mrs. Mary C. Terrell, and was director
Of the physical department Of the Colored
High School.
Mrs Terrell was not present at the meet
ing held yesterday afternoon, but when she
learned OF the intention of the other COL
ored members OF the board she sent her
resignation to District Commissioner Ross.
Mrs Terrell was seen last night and ask
ed why she had resigned. She stated that
her home and other interests had become
so exacting that she thought 1t was best
that she should sever her connection with
the school board. Mrs. Terrell is presi-
dent OF the National Association of Col
ored Women. and she said she was also
busy in the interest of the convention
which the association will hold in Chicago.
Mrs. Terrell admitted that the meeting
referred to was held yesterday, and she
gave the following written statement to

branch is doing a very heavy business
these days. The Northern Pacific is
now handling all of the ore and con-
centrates from the Canyon Creek mines,
the Standard company having begun to
ship this way recently. This, with the
heavy business from the Morning mine
at Mullan and the shipments from the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan at Wardner are
giving the trainmen all that they want
to do. As soon as the saw mills along
the branch begin their summers work
the line will be the busiest bit of track
in the West. The record of the branch
for the winter has been an excellent
one. the line having been kept open
through the worst of the storms. Some
trouble is anticipated from the high
water as soon as the snow starts. but
the line is in much better shape thar
in past years,

Lloyd last night caused the water to
rise within six inches of the rails. by

immediate trouble was prevented. This
place has caused frequent trouble in the
past, but it is thought that the ice is
sufficiently gone from the river to pre-

Crisis Near at Hand.

Madrid, Dec. 31.--El Liberal publishes an

"All the Minister'S" said the person in
question, "had already offered their resig-
nations, but the premier's sudden illness
STAYED off the crisis. But above the prob
lens of interior politics there Is one
question of extraordinary gravity affect
ing the very existence of the fatherland.
This question preoccupies our statesmen

them to prevent fresh catastrophes. 1t is
impossible to speak clearly on this point.
can only say that the preoccupation in
cludes fears of apprehended events which
must give a pretext for a thing England
is pursuing with effrontery."
The interview has excited much COM
ment and much anxiety is felt as to what
the ministerial organs will have to say.

THEIR ANNUAL REPORTS
City Officials Are Having Their
Hands Full.
ARE NOT YET COMPLETED
Health officer Shultz Is Preparing en-
Elaborate Mortuary Table - An
Excellent Showing for the
Department.

The city officials are all getting out
annual reports, but the most of them
will not be completed for several days.
Health Officer Shultz is preparing
very complete mortuary table, which
will show the number of deaths each
month during the year, the causes of
death, infectious and contagious dis
eases, ages of the deceased, births re-
ported, etc.
The report of work done by Sanitary
Inspector c. p Tobn and Sanitary Off
Ger Tom Mckinley is very compliment
airy to these gentlemen as we'll as to DR..
Shultz, the head of the health depart
ment, and should prove very satisfac-
tory to citizens generally. II shows that
there has been great activity in the de-
partment and that the markets and res
taurants have been closely watched to
see that meat and produce not fit to eat
is. not sold. During the year the health
department condemned and destroyed
$4,000 pounds of meat, 1850 pounds of
fish, 1890 pounds of fruit and 1900
pounds of cheese One good thing was
accomplished by the sanitary depart
ment in putting a stop to the bob veal
crime. Cows We're killed and when
found to be with calf, the calves were
sold for veal. There were three arrests
for this offense during the year and in
each case convictions were secured and
the offenders punished. 1t is believed
that this offense has been put stop to,
but the department will watch the mar
kets and slaughter houses very closely
in the spring to prevent repetition of
the offense.
During the wear the health depart-
