more'S Report Makes satisfac-
tory Showing for the First Month.
It is probable that the Board of Educa-
ton viii make some provision for the col
ored children who are now cut of the
schools on the line suggested by the col
ored people, provided the latter fulfil the
part which they have proposed for them
selves.
committee Of the col3r5d citizens, head
ed by the Rev. ]. J. Durham OF the Sec
ond African Baptist Church, appeared be-
fore the Board Of Education at its meet
ing last night and presented a PROPOSE
ton for the use of the colored odd Eel
lows Hall on Harris street as school
house. The rental required for the hail is
$25 per month, which the colored citizens
luANAtStNQ PROPOSE ~ pay AAL AiltiAetiNtSs
The committee was not sure, however, that
the necessary amount to pay the rent
could be raised They were requested TO
ascertain exactly what could be done IN
this line and 10 report TO the superin-
tendent. The members Of the board ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to the
project and assured the committee that
should a school house be provided they
would endeavor to spare funds to pay the
teachers.
There was a larger attendance upon the
meeting than at any meeting of the board
since the early summer President George
A. Mercer, who had been absent from the
city for two months, was present and pre-
sided. He received a warm welcome from
his fellow members. Besides the presi-
dent. the other members present were:
Messrs. Denmark, Saussy, Estill, Blum,
duBignon, lie Roy Myers and OByrne.
Supt Ashmores report for the first
month of the new school year was brief,
but satisfactory. The work Of the schools
during the past school month, he stated,
has progressed in a very satisfactory man
ner, and the prospect is encouraging. The
enrolment of last week as compared with
the enrolment for the corresponding week
of the previous year, is as follows:

HELD AT BAY WITH A MUsKET.
Constable Had More of Job Than
He nnrGnined for.

The wife of William Daniels. who lives
at Four-mile Hill on The Augusta road,
swore out warrant against him yester-
day for assault and battery, but when the
constable attempted to make the arrest
Williams produced an old muskel, and the
valiant officer lost no time in beating a
hasty retreat, of which act Williams made
the most Of by eflectlng his escape.
When the constable was rallied, subse-
quently, for showing the white feather. he
explained his precipitate haste by saying
that he was going to guard a gap down
the road for fear that William would es-
cape by that route. The fugitive has not
yet been captured.

Speaking of the waiting list Superin-
tendent Ashmore said: "Ihe number of
pupils on the waiting list is 100. Most of
these are scattered quite uniformly over
the city and in no grade is there a sufil-
cient local aggregation to warrant the es-
tablishment of an additional csass, except
perhaps in the case of a number of third
grade pupils, whose center of demand
is i'm the neighborhood of Hall and Dray-
ton streets Since your last meeting
have been able to admit 50 pupils who were
then upon the waiting list besides num-
Der of others who were admitted directly
upon appica ion. l am endeaVOring TO
reduce the waiting list as rapidly as pos
sible and 1 think that l shall be able 10
clear ii in a few weeks, with the except
ion of a few in the third grade who will
probably be left over. l am glad TO report
10 you the excellent condi ion Of the
schools and of the earnest effort on the
part of all concerned in their work to i'm
prove and sustain them"
Mr.. Saussy, from the visiting committee,
reported that during the month he had
visited the Anderson street and the Henry
street schools, and that he was graufed
with the discipline and order existing in
these schools, showing that the same
admirable conditions which existed in the
schools In the past year had continued
10 this.
Superintendent Ashmore reported that
SeNerai promotlOhs ana appointments nad
been made in accordance with the rules.
His actions were confirmed by the board
The superintendent was authorized to sell
a lot of scrap iron belonging to the
schools. Certain matters concerning the
Isle of Hope school were referred 10 the
superintendent
The board granted Superintendent Ash
more two weeks leave Of absence at such
time during the winter as he may be able
10 absent himself from his duties, for the
purpose OF visiting schools in other sec
tons of the country, with a view of look
ing into the school systems in force in
other cites.

The best Lighted City.

Paris Is now said to be the best
lighted city in the world and model
for all cities that are bent on introduc-
ing electric lighting on grand scale.
1t is the great installation under the
vast central markets of Paris that has
enabled he municipality to command
the situation and to carry out y
scheme which has been settled, not
hastily. but after patient. scientific
and systematic study.
This installation, however, has never
been intended for the general work Of
lighting. 1t is for experimental pur-
poses, and also for acting as j regu-
lator of charges, each division of the
city. radiating from centre, being
leased for limited term to RESPONSE
BILE electric company.
The old troublesome question of how
to dispose Of wires never arises In
Paris, where, thanks mainly to the
subways, there are absolutely no OBJ
structive wires.
