OLNEYvILLE.


A large number OF lovers of out OF
door sports went to Perkins Track
yesterday, where there was no end of
Jumping, foot and bicycle racing and
kindred sports. The most interesting
features of the days program was the
mile bicycle race and the l0o-yard foot
race. In the first John Dun and Will
liam Connors were the contestants and
they made very pretty race until
they came together. 1t was claimed by
many that Connors fouled Dun. Mr..
Dun was quite badly cut up about the
face and arms, but not so severely as
TO prevent him from oonAluing the
race. He was defeated by half mile.
An effort will be made TO have Messrs.
Dun and Connors race again, but un-
der different rules. The foot race was
between Hugh Connors and Irving
Walsh. The men kept together until
within a few feet of the tape, when
Mr.. Walsh was obliged TO stop ani
Connors could not have gone twenty
feet further. Barring the collision be-
tween Duff and Connors everything
went along smoothly.
There as great rejoicing among the
friends of Jonn Mc,foven. who was
granted a liquor license by the John-
ton town council Saturday. Mr.. Nc
Goven's saloon is on Hartford pike, and
a remonstrance containing long list
OF names was presented. He was pre-
pared for t. 3, and. had nearly all OF
the auJOTHrHg OWners III hand TO help
him secure a license.
The police have been requested TO
find a young Frenchman who went
away from 65 Union avenue yesterday

friends believe that he has lost his way.

EXCHANGE PLACE LAYOUT.
Il viii Be Tho Chief BUSINESS Before The Common
Council This Evening,

The matter of the layout OF Ex-
change place will be the main feature
for discussion at this evenings meet
ing OF the common council, and there
is a most decided hope upon the part
of the public that something definite
should be accomplished. There is no
doubt that the Grmwood plan, which
was adopted by the Board of Alder
men on Thursday last seems to be by
far the most popular of all the plans so
far presented, and there is a belief that
the common council will concur with
the Board OF Aldermen this evening.
This belief is further advanced by
the fact that Councilman Parsons, who
moved the adoption OF the amended
plan at the last meeting, Is out in ia
vor of concurrence in the adoption OF
the plan which passed the Board or
Aldermen, and several other gentle
men also are OF the same opinion. The
fact Is that when the vote was taken
two weeks ago, many of the members
did not understand very clearly just
what plan was before the council, and
for a few days there was considerable
argument as to what changes had ac-
tually been made.
The fact remains that anything that
will definitely dispose of the knotty
problem will be far more satisfactory
than the delay of the past few months.
Among the other features to be con-
sidered this evening are resolutions
from the committee on finance, provid-
ing for the appointment of "A joint spe-
cial committee 10 arrange for the OBJ
servance of Independence day, and ap-
propriating s2500 for maintenance of
and ice for the public drinking foun-
talns; also a bill for an ordinance pro-
viding for borrowing $4,000 for the
support OF public schools.

TRAINING. HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS.
New Fha 10 Be introduced vhch Il Is Believed
KiII Work Advaniaqeously.

The committee on high schools OF the
school committee. together with the
university department OF pedagogy,
have been devoting a great deal or at
tention TO the plan for training nigh
school teachers, and one result is that
classes will not be given up so COM
pletely into the hands of student teach
ers as heretofore, and the training or
teachers-the best teachers the schools
can furnish-will have close ana IN
innate relation with the classes under
student teachers. The strongest teach
eIs will thus, through the assistance
offered by the student teachers, be able
TO impress themselves upon WIDER num-
bers of pupils.
There will be six places open this
year TO stu lent teachers-one in Latin,
one in English, one I'm history, one IN
physics, two i'm mathematics. Hereto
fore the holding of college degree has
been regarded as sufficient proof OF
scholarship; but since the elective sys-
tenn has been so widely followed in coll
leges, the same college degree in off
ferent individuals means quite a diner
ent thing. Ii has been decided that the
high schools can not take any chances
IN scholarship; but that each candl-
date must pass an examination SatlS-
factory TO the superintendent In the
subjects he wishes 10 teach, and also
in the general principles OF pedagogy.
These examinations are not limited TO
graduates of Brown, but are open to
graduates of any college in good stand
ing.
Examinations will be held at the
classical high school, as follows: Latin,

EVERY day that this town is allowed
to float along without some positive
action being taken to secure united
effort on the part of the business men
to push the town forward and gain ad-
vantsges that are presented US by the
situation in which we find ourselves
and the favorable conditions of trade
at this time, is day lost in the de-
velopment of the city. OF course, we
continue to grow, N spite of the draw
backs that are caused by the lack OF
unity among our business men, but the
town is not growing as it should. II
has not the controlling position it de-
serves and will have some day. when
the business men get together and
force the railroads to favor this city
in jobbing rates.

JARILLA camp is now good sized
town of nearly three hundred people.
They have a church, school, and Sun
day school, and are about to build a
suitable public hall for all public uses.
The town is handicapped by the re-
fusal of the post Office department. to
establish a postoffice there. All the
mail for the camp has to 60 many
miles further on to Alamogordo, being
carried past the town on the train,
Cancelled in Alamogordo, and returned
on the next train to Jarills. There is
no reason why there should not be q
postmaster appointed for the town, so
as to enable the inhabitants to get
their mail regularly and earlier than
they do now. The postoffice depart
ment has been petitioned to grant post
Office facilities to the camp. but as yet
no notice has been taken of the re-
quest. The petition should be granted
at once, as within a month or two
there will be thousand people in the
camp. so fast is it advancing.

Ell PASO is one of the best advertis
ed towns in the United States, but it il
from no fault of the local business men
People who stay here for a while or
enter into business relations with con-
Germs here are as a rule we'll impressed
and tell all aboutit at home. And the
newspaper correspondents do much to
keep the name of the city before the
people of the country. But with all
this work that is being done for the
city free Of charge there is absolutely
no concerted effort on the part of the
business men to take advantage OF the
widespread interest in the city and do
some systematic and judicious ADVERT
sing. Let it be remembered that hun
dreds of millions of capital are vir-
tually idle throughout the
country, or invested in concerns pay
ing low interest, because those who
control these immense amounts are
not aware what a vast field lies un-
developed in this section of the United
States. The people of the country
should be made aware of the great OPP
portunities that await capital here in
mining, stock. farming, transportation,
and jobbing interests, smelling and
electric plants, and mercantile estab-
lishments of various sorts-to suggest
few lines along which the develop
ment of this city and vicinity will
most surely come in the near future.
This city should be made the jobbing
center for New Mexico, Ariz-
ona, part of Texas, and At
leastlhslf of Mexico. It could easily
be brought into such q commanding
position if the business men would get
together and form a commercial or
ganization whose business it would be
to investigate all the problems in
volved, do lot of telling advertising,
and by united and vigorous action COM
pei the railroads to give favorable job
bling rates to this section. There is
too much useless conflict here among
business men. There Is no united eff
fort for the good of the city. When
the business men of the town get tc-
gether and take positive action in the
line of betterment, then and then only
will the town be in a way to realize the
great possibilities that make the out |
look bright for US.
