tors for Ensuing Year,

Turned Down.

The Board OF Education met yesterday
afternoon in the office Of President Sims for
the election OF janitors for the different

prepared report, but in two instances
the recommendations we're turned down.

ship Of the High school, the committee not
being in favor OF retaining T. j. Peterson,
who has held the position for the last two
years. 1t recommended the appointment OF
w. 8. wilkins, who until year ago had
been janitor Of the Bloomer building. Pc
terson, however, had sufficient support
among the members OF the board and he
was reappointed for another year.
Thomas Smith was recommended for the
ianitorship at the Twentieth avenue school,
but the majority Of the members of the
board were OF the opinion that j. A. Keller,
who filled the position during the last
twelve months, had done so with entire
satisfaction and he was accordingly re-
elected for another year.
Changes were made at the Third street,
Second avenue, Avenue b, Madison avenue,
Thirty-second and Harrison street schools
The jantors at the High school, Washing
ton avenue, Boomer, Twentieth avenue,
North Eighth street, Pierce street and
teachers at the Gum, Clark, Woodbury. and
Cutoff school receive a slight extra com
pensation for performing the duties OF
janitor.

afternoon ia as follows: High school, T. ].
Peterson; Washington avenue, Ralph Simp-
son; Bloomer, George d. Crum; Twentieth
avenue, j. A. Keller; North Eighth street,

The Boston Sunday Journal is again
and additional attractive features.
Beginning with next Sundays issue
the total number of pages each Sun
day will be 112, by far the largest
number ever given regularly by any
Sunday newspaper. A new distinctive
feature is added in a 10 page bound
perio dical, illustrated by the expen-
sive half-tone process. The people
and events of the week will be pre-
sented as wildly and accurately in
this way as could be done by the
photographs themselves. Special de-
partments, each conducted by an ex-
pert in that subject, will add to it's
general attractiveness.
The Boston Sunday Journal is es-
pecially strong, also, in its sporting
department., where each branch of
sports is handled by an authority in
that line. For instance, Walter S..
Barnes, Jr., the Journals sporting ed
itor, writes on base ball; Allen Lowe,
the we'll known horse man, is horse
editor; Edward Jewell, known as a
yachting authority, writes on yacht
ing subjects; Edwards" prominent
golf player, has golf matters in charge;
l. S. Clark, Secretary of tn Inter-
scholastic Association, writes on In
terscholastic sports.
The 112-page Boston Sunday Jour
mol Lmarks the height of newspaper
enterprise.

4 WELCOME TO CAPTAIN CLARK,

When Rev. A. j. Hough got on the
cars at Bradford, as one Of the com
mittee from White River Junction to
accompany Captain Clark Of the Ore
gon to the reception Thursday, a
friend of the gallant captain suggested
that the poet-preacher write song
for the occasion. On the spur Of the
moment the following welcome was
written in pencil on q scrap of paper,
and recited amid great applause:
With speech and song and hearts elate
We welcome back to his native state,
The man who whipped the Spanish Don,
Our Captain Clark of the Oregon.
Brave sons have gone out from our hills
With tender hearts and iron wills,
But none more true have come or gone
Than Charles E. Clark of the Oregon.
That sail of fifteen thousand miles
Through stormy seas, past lonely isles
Was wrought by Yankee brains and Drawn
With Captain Clark and the Oregon.
If he alone had CHANGED to meet
On the high seas the Spanish fleet
One gallant flag had hailed the dawn,
Clark's flying over the Oregon.
For later, when Cervera tried
To make escape, his hopes all died,
His feetest ships to doom was drawn,
By Clark on board the Oregon.
The old Green Mountain state today
Greets her brave son the good old way,
Her brightest sunshine down she filings,
| Her sweetest songs she gladly sings,
| Give cheer on cheer that flies and fills
With echoes all her woods and hills;
And puts her robes of beauty on
| For Captain Clark of the Oregon.
| Landmark.

The opening of Uncle Sans mail
box was an unique feature and very
interesting. Mrs. Rugg from Stan
stead said they did not intend in Can
ada to stop short of Dominion Prohibi-
tion-not partial but whole. She was
very earnest in her work and made a
good impression.
The address of Rev. j. P. Marvin of
West Charleston ont christian Citizen
shipo was we'll worth consideration,
though short it was to the point.
Christian is the word to be empha
sized in politics, in religion, in the
home and all the relations of life.
The reports and all business was
conducted promptly and briefly yet
some good things were crowded out.
The Convention was one that reflect
ed credit on all who were concerned
in planning and executing the pro-
gram, and we wish we we're able to
give more interesting account of all
the proceedings. The old board of
county officers and superintendent
were re- elected with few exceptions.
Reports of Reso luton Committee not
yet received.
Our State President, Mrs. Read, was
with US, and 1t was an inspiration to
look upon her face and hear the gra
cious words that fell frequently from
her lips, though she gave no extended
address. The church was prettily
decorated with flowers and banners,
and Miss Wizards picture draped
in the national flag occupied promi-
nent place. Dinner and tea were
served each day in the vestry to all
delegates and visitors, by the ladies
of Newport. We hope that an inf1u-
ence for good may be left from our
meeting, upon the inhabitants of this
beautiful village. Many thanks to
Newport ladies and the pastors of the
county who so kindly helped in all
lines of work.
