School Purposes Only.

Some Changes to Be Made in the At

Bill Outrageous.
A REPORT ON BUILDINGS

The board of education at Its meet
ing last night put its foot down on one
proposition. 1t has made a rule to the
effect that hereafter all applicants for
the use of school rooms for purposes
other than those for which they were
built shall be referred to the clerk with
instructions to notify the applicants
that they cannot have the school rooms
All applications in the hands of the
clerk at present, and there are three or
four of them asking for permission to
occupy certain school rooms for sum-
mer schools, are rejected.
The committee of three architects Sc
lected by the building committee to in
spect the foundation of the Atlantic
avenue school house reported that the
main walls We're all right, but recon-
mend that portions of projecting walls
In which were used certain stone that
Contractor Whiteside objected to using

explained that certain portion of that
work done late in the fall and frozen
would be replaced with good and sub
Stdulidl material, saying tndl d couple
of men in two days could remedy the
defect produced by the frost early in
1.-The winter. The architects who inspect
ed the big foundation were Messrs. II.
M. Patterson, J. G. Link and William
White.
Architect O'Brien has written another
long letter to the clerk of the board in
structing him to instruct the board to
instruct Contractor Whteside to be
careful in his construction of the build

in his resignation and last night it was
accepted. The matter of selecting an

There was some discussion over the
election bill of the Inter Mountain. The
finance committee reported that it had
o. KID. the bill, but not without en-
phatically expressing the opinion that
it believed the amount of the bill to
be excessive and outrageous. The COM
mittee, says the report. was guided by
precedent in similar bills. 1t appears
that the law provides in such cases and
that all the board is supposed to do is
to Q. K. and pass up TO the county COM
missioners Mr.. Clinton of the finance
committee was in favor of carrying the
bill up through the list of courts to

cHRIsr's CROWN OF rAoRNs.
Recent Investigations by a Distinguished
French Scientist Throws Light IN Ii

Some interesting facts in regard to
the crown OF thorns which Christ wore
during His crucifixion have lust been
brought to light by M. du Melv a dis
tinguished French scientist. This sub
ject has occupied his attention for a
considerable time, and at the last meet
ing of the Academy of Inscriptions at
Paris he related the facts which he had
ascertained in regard to it. His state
ments We're regarded by all present as
entirely reliable. and mainly because
he is known to be one of the greatest
living authorities on all matters con-
nected with the crucifiXon
At the beginning of the present CEN
fury the general opinion among church
men was that. out of all the thorns
which had once formed ~art of the
crown, there were only q then in ex-
istence. M. du Nelly, however. now says
that he can clearly trace the history of
56c thorns, and that the most likely
places in which to find them now would
be the cities of Jerusalem, Paris and
Constantinople.
In 1899 large pieces of the crown of
thorns were sent to France, and in 1247
they became the property of st. Louis,
who built a costly shrine in which they
were securely guarded. AT that time
the number of thorns in the shrine was
70, but this number must have been in
y
assured that Louis and his immediate
successors presented so thorns to var
ious princes, churches and cloisters
throughout Europe, and yet that, after
this distribution had been made, %
thorns, remained as the property of the
French king.
With one of these latter. by the way.
a tragic incident is connected. When
Mary Queen of Scots left France she
took it with her as one of her choicest
treasures, and throughout her eventful
career she never failed to wear it, and
after she was executed her attendants
found it close to her heart. In the
church of NOtre Dame, at Paris, there
is no relic more cherished than what is
known as the crown of Christ and NJ
du Nelly supposes that in addition to
this crown, which has been in Paris for
many centuries. st. Louis in some way
acquired a large bundle of thorns,
some of which he presented to diStin-
guished contemporaries, while the 9TH
ers he bequeathed to his successors.
M. du Nelly thinks that there is much
more to be learned on this subject, and
he proposes to continue his investiga-
tons until he arrives at the exact truth.

IT may RESULT FATALLY.
Ba1ataur Buried Under Half a
Ton of Rock.
IN THE DIAMOND MINE
He Is Suffering From Serious Internal
Injuries and Broken Ankle.
The Accident Was I'm
avoidable.

Frank Balataur, miner employed at
condition at the Sisters hospital as the
result of an accident in the mine In
which he was buried beneath half a ton
of rock at an early hour yesterday
morning. He suffers from serious in
ternal injuries and broken ankle, the
internal INJURY being much the most
serious of his hurts, as it is an injury
to one of his lungs, such as to invite a
pneumonia complication, and should
this set in his case will be more than
likely to terminate fatally.
Balataur was working in the west
drift of the 1900 foot level. A round Of
holes had been fired by the men going
Off shift at II o'clock Monday night.
When the next shift came on the
parently in a perfectly safe condition
When the shovelers followed in to clean
up. Balataur, with two other men, was
engaged in shovelng into car when
the accident occurred. He was bending
over when, with no warning whatever,
ground weighing probably half a ton
fell away from the back. Balataur was
immediately underneath it and was
carried to the floor and completely bur-
led. while his two companions escaped
entirely. though they were only a few
feet away. They Immediately sounded
the alarm and went to his assistance.
AS quickly as possible he was uncov-
cred and removed to the surface. The
ambulance from the Sisters hospital
was Immediately summoned and he was
taken to that institution, where an ex-
animation by Dr. Alexander revealed
the injuries mentioned.
DR.. Alexander stated last evening
that his patient was doing as well as
could be expected under the circunl-
stances, and that barring complications
that might set in, his chance of recov-
cry was fair. but that, because of the
injury to the lung, there was a grave
possibility of pneumonia developing,
and in such an event his recovery would
be exceedingly doubtful.
Balataur, when seen at the hospital,
related the circumstances of the acct
dent as given and said it was wholly
unlocked for and unavoidable as the
ground when he went to work looked
perfectly safe and he did not hold any
one responsible for his misfortune.

Roberts in a letter recently received

come back from the east, where he has
been for several weeks, without the f"c-
mality of extradition papers, and he de-
lOunces as false the assertions made that

The affidavit upon which the warrant
was issued was signed by G. NJ Oven.
The third wife was at one time q plural
wife of one NJ. x Skipp, and while her
relations to Roberts were generally sus

that she assumed the name of Roberts.

shows that he in 1885 sWOre to the fact
that Sarah Smith Roberts was his lawful

in every detail as far as national issues
are concerned, and do not care to enter
into a discussion of state issues; they 90

Mr. Bryan declined to discuss politics in
an extended way, saying that the recent
election would not altar his plans. He
considers the result favorable to the sill
yer cause. He is on his way to Texas,
where he will visit former Governor
Hogg. The brilliant Texan announced
some time ago that he might take the
stump for Mr.. Bryan in case of his re-

said to be partly for the purpose of con-
ferring with Mr.. Hogg upon this ques-
ton.

in reply to a question as to his immediate
destination.
NO, not for votes he continued. IT m

reach Springfield, and together we will
go to the cOlOnels Taney county ranch,
where I expect to spend a week. to, rest
and hunt. Mrs Bryan and the children
will meet me there in few days and
then they will go on with me TO Texas,
where they will spend the winter. I shan
spend some time in Texas making
speeches.
In his statement bearing upon the re
cent election as it looked to Mr. Bryan,
he said the result in Kentucky was not
encouraging to Republicans and that the
Bluegrass state would undoubtedly roll Up
a majority of from 20 900 to 10000 a the
next presidential election. He draws the
same kind Of comfort from the result in
Ohio, exclaiming. What consolation can
the Republicans draw from the election
in Ohio?' He summarizes by saying that
il is evident that those who believed in
the Chicago platform in 1886 stiIl hold to
their belief, and that the recent election
gives new announcement to the hope Of
ove-throwing the Republican party in the
coming campaign.
