Nom Residents Must Pay.

The trustees of School District
No. Is, down town, have sent out
written notices to non-residents that,
beginning October LIST, all parents
and guardians will have to pay
$l.50 per month for each scholar
attending school. Messrs. Carrick
and Toomer sign the notice, while,
we understand, Dr.. Hoover is op-
posed to the action. The doctor
maintains that the school at present
should not be open to non-residents
at all, as the building is badly
crowded already by the home pupils
and the district is not able to en-
large the structure.
The question is one that has
stared the district in the face for
some time Many people come to
Montpelier in the winter time, TO
get the benefit of its excellent
schools. These non-residents have
caused the already badly crowded
schools to be we'll nigh unable to
handle the pupils at all. The teach
ers are handicapped IN their work.
For this reason DIR. Hoover opposed
letting in nonresident on any terms
until more room could be had.
Messrs. Carrick and Toomer agree
with the doctor that the school is
in a bad plight, but they did not
feel justified in closing the school
to non-rcsidents and therefore took
the method of taxing each Of said
pupils Sl.5O per month, thus hoping
to discourage the coming here of
outside people until more room
could be provided.
The difficulty will affect the bust
ness of the city greatly and some
scheme should be evolved whereby
either joint high school be inau-
gurated, or the present building
greatly enlarged, and neither dis
triet, financially, Is able to under
take to build Joint new building

Now comes England who proposes
to have the British army provi-

CREMATION.

Cremation, which had such difficulty in
securing foothoId In England. now has
IN that country strong advocates Of
making the process compulsory In certain
cases. The British Cremation Society was
organized twenty-five years ago, end It
took four years OF work and discussion
10 bring about the building OF the first
Irernat0rium. and six years more passed
before an incineration was publicly per-
formed under the society's auspices. But
the number Of incinerations has increased
gradually from three in 1885 TO 2i0 in 1898,
and the total has reached 1,2@.
Aside from the sentimental phase OF the
question. one OF the most potent Obstruc-
tons thrown in the way OF the society
was the contention that cremation could
be used to destroy evidences of crime.
This objection was finally overcome. how
ever by the society's assuming the obl-
cation Of investigating the conditions OF
death In the case of every body for the
iLcineration Of which application Is made
and to that end II secured the services
of distinguished pathologist for consul
,atIon purposes in cases of unusual doubt
or difficulty, and for making necropsies
when required. Now the prejudice
against the crematorium has been so far |
dlspelled that a leading British medical |
Journal says 1t is an interesting question |
whether incineration. while remaining |
optional in cases of death from ordinary |
,auses, should not sooner later be-
come obligatory when death is due to
such transmissible diseases as smallpox,
diphtheria, cholera, typhoid
ever, tuberculosis, &c, at all events In
he chief centres Of population" Such
course, this authority goes on to argue,
would seem amply justified as a means
f sustaining the active efforts which
re being put forth in every direction to
init the ravages and restrict the dis
emination of the diseases named and
Their preventable maladies.

SEIZED CONFEDERATE NOTES.
Raid on Advertisements in Form of
Lost Cause Securities.
Philadelphia Times. MAY 27th.)

(Pnllddelpnld Times, May Ztn.)
The United States authorities yesterday
ordered from Washington the seizure of
1900 imitation Confederate $40 notes,
which were being used by DR.. VI. Gold
berg, chiropodist in this city, for add
vertising purposes. The seizure was made
by s. II. Ireland, detective in the United
States secret service, who yesterday
walked into the doctors office. and de-
manded all the Confederate advertisement
notes in his possession.
For a moment DR.. Goldberg was thor
oughly alarmed, as he thought of the
Ingraham-Newitt affair, and the wild
possibility that he might In some way be
connected with a counterfeitng scheme,
but he offered to deliver up the notes if
the detective would give him receipt,
and at the same time he told the detect
i've that he thought the government was
Saving air." Ireland said he would give
him his personal receipt, but that the
seizure was made under instruction from
the authorities in Washington.
1t appears that Kieran /. Colgan. a
printer, of Al north Seventh street, had
become possessed of an original plate
from which the so Confederate notes had
been printed. He conceived the idea of
side blank for any advertisement which
1t might be desired to place upon it. DR..
had already distributed 1.100 OF
the notes, and the remaining $500 he
handed over to the detective. The secret
service man explained that there were
plenty of people in the backwoods who |
would take the bogus Confederate stuff |
for the genuine article. He also visited |
the establishment Of Colgan and seized |
the Confederate plates. and over 10000 |
$40 advertising bills, which |
were printed TO order. but not delivered. |
The outcome of the seizure was DR.. |
effort to recover from Colgan |
he amount he had paid him for the notes.

getting rid Of Colgan was not willing
md the matter was then placed in the
hands Of DR.. Goldberg's counsel, Eugene
Raymond. The case, which will come up

Wednesday, will be watched with in

THE MAIN-sTREET DEPOT.

The franchises asked for by the Chesa'
peake and Ohio and the Richmond, Pc
tersburg and Carolina railroad companies
probably will be granted soon by our City
Council. and with practical unanimty.
It is the purpose of the Carolina road
10 extend its tracks from Petersburg TO
Richmond. 1t Is the purpose Of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Company to unite all of
its tracks here by better connections than
It now has. And then the two COM
panies will have a passenger depot to-
gether on Main street. near where the st.
Charles Hotel now stands.
The Council Committee on Streets, by a
vote of 10 10 2, have agreed 10 report the
ordinances favorably. The clause requir-
ing the two companies to give bond, which
, was favored by several members of the
subcommittee, has been stricken out. All
of the other Objectionable requirements,
which were suggested in the sub-commit-
zee. have been rejected. The ordinances,
as they will come from the Committee on
Streets. are substantially what are desired
by the railroad companies. OF course,
many details of the engineering work re-
main to be settled as the work progresses.
rhese are to be left to the discretion of
The city Engineer That our interests will
be safe in his hands, we presume nobody
will question.
1t is hoped and expected that the Com
mon Council will pass the two ordinances
ut its regular meeting on Monday next,

men will concur in that action. That
done, it will only remain for Mayor Tay-
lor to approve the ordinances, and they
will become laws.
We consider 1t almost certain that all
the questions that have been at issue have
been finally and satisfactorily disposed Of
1t Is unlikely that any other serious i'm
'pcdiment will arise to bar the progress of
the work. which means an expenditure of
about 100000 in public Improvements
here; which will give us a handsome pas
senger depot on Main street, and which
will restore business vitality TO a section
of the city that of late years has been in
a languishing condition.
The outside public never has been able
90 understand how it was that Richmond
hesitated for moment TO grant these
franchises; nor, indeed. is 1t clear to many
here why opposition should have develop
ed from any quarter. But as we look at
st, all that now belongs TO the past. The
present prospect is very pleasing, indeed,
and it seems that we are not only to have

THE KIDNAPPED CHILD.
Devery Distributes Many HandbiIIs
with Picture of Baby Marion.

(New York Herald)
Captain McClusky. chief of detectives
upon leaving his office yesterday after
noon, said that absolutely no news OF the
missing baby Marion Clarke, or her
nurse, Carrie Jones, had been obtained.
He declined to talk about the develop
ments in any of the various clews upon
which his detectives have been working.
mat no immediate result Is expected
from any of these clews may be inferred
from the action of the police in sending
broadcast yesterday a circular calling for
the arrest of Carrie Jones for abduction
and containing a half-tone reproduction
OF photograph Of the missing baby.
THOUSANDS OF COPIES.
Thousands OF copies of the circular
have been struck off. They will be sent
to the chiefs of police of every city I'm
the United States and to all towns and
villages within days journey of New
York. They Will be posted in every police
station in this city, so that every patrol
man may be able to recognize the lost
child If he sees her. Copies will also be
sent TO founding asylums. hospitals and
institutions where children are received.
BY means of these circulars and through
the reproductions of photographs in the
newspapers, the police hope to make the
features of the stolen child SO well known
mat concealment will become an impos-
sibility.

condemns It, there are dozens who com
mend It. Heretofore groups Of men have
