Registration Of voters for the oeming
school election passed the 500 mark yes
tsfday. and persons familiar with school
affairs say that the Arst week Of regis
tration this year has developed Is great
an interest n was manifested during
the corresponding FIRST week last year.
IL - expected that the registration viii
b heaviest during the closing week The
books close on October 50. They will
probably b held open until midnight Of
that day.
It II evident that there 10 to be . spirit
ID contest for the two dirsctorships that
are about to become vacant The work
Of registration has disclosed that fact
this early. An especial effort Is being
made from some source to see that all
colored men register. and yesterday over
Atty Of that race called ut the city hall
and attended to the formality necessary
to sntitle them to . vote.
Joe Livingstone, the Democratic politi-
clan OF the First ward. has been very
active In registering voters but both he
and the eolored leaders maintain strict
silence as to their intsntions.
r. 8. Lippy. the well known Xlondikes.
has refused to permit the use Of his name
in connection with tho position Of school
director. He II said to have informed
those who were active in pushing his
candidacy that II would Be impossible
for him to accept the office. Griffith
Davies, 20 1t 10 said. has likewise declined
to run.
An effort was being made yesterday
to induce John Schram. who has pre-
viously been spoken OF ~ . possible run
ming mate for Prof Lippy. to tie UP with
H. w. Stein. the single tax candidate.
No definite arrangement was made. but
the promoters Of the scheme expect sue
cess.
Persons taking an interest In the school
campaign believe that only two tickets
will be In the field. One Of them will
be the Calhoun Hughes ticket. the ean-
didacy OF whom has already been an
nounced, and another ticket upon which
Single Taxer Stein will probably be q
candidate.

Womankind,

A girl is visiting in town who has
dress trimmed with four miles Of
lace, and her hostess is thinking of
giving a reception for it.
A woman who knows how easily
the men can be fooled tells everyone
who kisses her that it is the first time
she was ever kissed by man.
1t occurs to man with some won
der that his wife never got up as
much enthusiasm over him when
she was bride as she gets up over
the new little red baby.
When woman doesn't know OF
anything else nice to say about an
other woman she says she has such
"cute little ways"
Every unhappy woman takes
pleasure in thinking of the time
when he Will come back, and it will
be too late.
A good many girls have the notion
that some day they may be COMPEL
ed to sell their hair to pay off the
mortgage OH the family homestead
as the story books relate. An At
Gibson girl who had very beautiful
hair became very poor and agreed t.
sell it for s.. After the hair had beer
cut of, the purchaser refused to TAX
it, saying she could get switch TO

The Galveston News thus summa-
rizes one Of the greatest scandals
that has attached to any federal ad-
ministration: captain Carter, who
had charge of the government works
at Savannah, managed to knock
down on the government to the esti-
mated amount Of 81 100000. He was
convicted a year ago and sentenced
to dismissal from the army and to an
imprisonment of five years in the
penitentiary. The record Of the trial
has, since that time, been with the
president. The captain is on waiting
order, drawing his pay, and doing
nothing in the way Of hurrying the
president into consideration of his
case. Even in this warmest of wealth
or he is taking matters with all the
GOODNESS of a man who has a pull
So far Carter has had a better time
since his conviction than he had be-
fore. He has drawn his full pay and
done what he pleased. How much
longer does the president propose to
try public patience and insult public
opinion in this matter?

That ORIGINAL Sin.

Probably our great ancestor, Adam
little thought of the trouble he
would cause posterity by eating AL
apple. But now the question as to
how many apples he really did eat is
a new difficulty.
How many apples did Adam and
Eve eat? Was it one or was it mil
lions? When the subject was first
mOOted the editor very naturally re-
piled, why, one of course"
No" said the assistant editor,
1--we ate one, and Adam ate one
too; that's two.'
Then the sub-editor passed along a
slip Of paper on which was written,
Eve 81 and Adam 81, making 1872
But the poet, who is man of
Imagination, capped this with, Eve
81 and Adam 8l2-S93."
Then the publisher tried his hand,
and his contribution was, Eve g. l42
see how it tasted, and Adam Si2,
equals 1854"
The poet who dislikes being sur
passed as much as he hates BARRIERS,
came up to the scratch again with
Eve 8.l42 see how it tasted, and
