IHEY DECL!NE TO RUN
The Auditorium School Meeting
Is a Failure.
THEY HAVE NO NOMINEES
All Three of the Gentlemen Have Re-
fused to Permit Their Names to Be
Used on the Ticket Leaves
One Ticket in the Field.

Every man who was nominated for
school trustee at the meeting held on
the stairs leading to the Auditorium on
Monday evening has refused to run. All
must acknowledge that Messrs. Henry
Mueller, F. x. Giard and George
Moulthrop are splendid nominations and
,, will make school trustees Of the caliber
desired by the taxpayers of this school
district.
The Standard yesterday received the
following:

DUAL LIFE OF OAKLEY HALL
For Months He Had an Existence Of
Which He Was Wholly Un-
conscious.

Oakley Hall was once connected with
an American paper in London. His aim
here was to achieve a high name at the
English bar. He was the son Of an Eng
lishman and therefore he was in Eng
lish law an Englishman whenever he
chose to declare himself. He made no
success because he lived wholly in the
past and his mental inclinations were
solely reminiscent.
From the day of his mysterious dis
appearance from New York he lost the
power to utilize his brain in any way
that could earn him living. When he
returned from Europe after that disap-
pearance he and were closeted for
months together in the Office of Mr..
Hulbert's New York World. Then 1t
was that he told me the truth about his
disappearance, and without knowing
whether or not it has been published in
America, will repeat it briefly.
He said that one morning he woke up
in hall bedroom in Mayfair, in the
heart of London, and as he lay in bed
looking with wonder at his surround
ings a woman knocked and entered the
room. She asked him if he would have
his usual breakfast. He inquired what
his usual breakfast was, and she, as
tonished in her turn, told him that he
always had pennyworth Of tea, a pen
ny roll, penny pot of butter, and an
egg which cost penny.
He asked her to sit down and then, by
cross-examining her, he found that he
had lived whole season in that house
under a name he never knew; that he
appeared to be "city man" English
for man in business); that he went
out every morning, came back every
evening, went very frequently to tha
theater and was the quietest, most ire
proachable Of all her dodgers. "In q
word," he said, 81 had Lived the life of
another man for months, unconscious
of my own identity, unrecognized by
any one, and fulfilling the wellroundedI
half of dual existence."-London Cor.

Amazing Audacity.

Each interested observer of the part
the American Navy has had in the re-
cent war, has favorite incident which
stands clear from all other events of
the campaign. For stern bravado,
says the United Service Magazine, it
would be hard to rival the feat of En-
sign Gillis, who saw stray torpedo
coming slowly but surely toward the
anchored torpedo boat Porter.
He sprang overheard. turned the
nose Of the torpedo in safer direc
ton, and screwed up the firing pin
tightly 80 that it would not operate.
Then treading water, he saluted Lieu
tenant Fremont and reported:
"Sir, 1 have to report have captured
a torpedo"
"Bring it on board, sir" commanded
Fremont, and Gillis actually did 80,
swimming with it to the ship and fasten.
ing tackle to it.
