~ Benjamin Williams, the present rep
resentative from the Fourth ward on
the school board, who has been can
didate to succeed himself, last evening
withdrew from the /,nt, owing to
duties which will prevent him from
filling the office in the event OF his cleo
tion. Mr.. Williams was chosen by the
board to fill the unexpired term of Ben
son Davis, who resigned some time ago
to accept the position of superintend-
ent of repairs of the school board.
During the short time Mr.. Williams
has been a member of the board, he
has made many friends and his with
drawal from the contest is due to the
fact that he has secured a position
which will require his time and atten-
tion in other directions. His retire.
ment from the fight is voluntary, as
will be seen from the following an
nouncement, which was handed The
Tribune correspondent last evening:
To The Tribune:
Having secured n position, the duties
Of which will prevent my exercising and
performr & the duties that would he in.
cumbcnt upon me as n member of the
board of control | withdraw from the

with ardent loyalty for the Republican
party, and a deep sense of gratitude to
my friends who have offered me encour-
agement, ! am yours truly,
Benjamin Williams.

anticipated. The withdrawal of eX-
Alderman Thomas r.. Morgan from the
aldermanic fight. which was announced
last evening, leaves the present incum-
bent, Alderman Daniel Moses unop-
posed

Women In Norway.

Norway isn't so eold-that is, in its attitude toward women. For some time they've been employed in the railroad and postal service, and are now receiv- ing appointments as supervisors of the railway stations. Their business is to receive reports from conductors, answer questions ill several languages, call trains, ring the station bell at the de- parture of trains and also to telegraph their departures to the next station Then, too, they act as government teIe- graph operators as well as baggage men and postmasters, and do such duty we'll, so their employers claim.

CROSSED" MONEY ORDERS.
Safeguards Employed In England II
 Making Small Remittances.

Safeguards Employed In England In
 Making Small Remittances.
 Americans who are buying books in small quantities or are remitting dues to the treasurers of English societies of which they happen to be members ooca- sionally receive printed or written re- quest to use a "crossed" order when sending money. At first they are likely to be mystified by the phrase. Even if inquiry is made at the postoffice in this country it is quite possible that no sat isfactory explanation will be obtainable. The remitting party will ascertain, though, that American postoffioes do not issue crossed" orders.
 The term in question refers to two lines drawn with pen from the top to the bottom of postal order on it's face near the middle and an inch or two apart. That treatment of money order will prevent payment of it to any one but banker, and if, as is sometimes done, the name of some particular bank is written in the space between the lines the order will be paid only to that institution. It is not necessary to use any words in addition to the name of the bank. No explicit prohibition is re. quired. The mere crossing of the order is we'll understood signal to the Brit ish postal authorities, for, while the custom is comparatively unfamiliar to people on this side of the Atlantic, it is common enough in the United King dom. .~
 When an American remits money in this manner, he crosses his order him. self, but in several foreign countries ths postoffice does not give the order to the sender, but transmits it directly to the paying office. The person who remits merely sends notice to the right person to go to the postoffice and apply for the money. Where this usage prevails the postoffice issues crossed order because the sender cannot cross the order him. self. Such is the practice, for instance, in Germany, Belgium, Austria and Italy.-New York Tribune.

How Miss Wheeler Went to Cuba.

Dr. Henry C. McCook of Philadel- phia, who went to Cuba as chaplain, paid a great tribute to Miss Annie Wheeler at the Presbyterian union din- ner recently:
 "When I reached Tampa" he said, Ca young woman came to me and said that she wished me to Use my influence in getting Ter to Cuba When looked at her fragile form, told her that thought the government was very wise in not sending women, but she replied, I have q father there and brother, and although am the daughter of a Confederate officer every boy who wears the blue is brother BOW, and, further, Dr. McCook, am going to Cuba could not withstand this appeal, and l took great pleasure in taking from my own coat the badge which wore and pinniDg it upon the dress of Miss Annie Wheeler, declaring that by that fact made hor an honorary member oi the relief commission. Later 1 saw her in Cuba in the fever hospital perform. ing splendid service as nurse. ,"

His Concern.

A commercial traveller on his trip called upon a we'll known chemist. He was nervous as he put his hand in his pocket and handed out card.
 ''I represent that concern" said the young man.
 "You are fortunate," replied the chemist.
 The commercial traveller was encour- aged and said:
 ''I think 80, sir, and the chemist who trades with ns is even more so. My firm has the finest line of cosmetics in the country"
 "I shouldn't thave thought it, ," slow ly responded the man of medicines. "Her complexion looks natural"
 And he handed back the photograph which the young man had given him by mistake. He took it and left without waiting to make any farewell remarks.

London Landlords.

There is perhaps no tenant who is so completely at the mercy of his landlord as the ocoupier of a house in London which belongs to one of the great ground landlords. He is an absolute prisoner within the four corners of his lease. The slightest deviation is accom- panied with pains and penalties, but, on the other hand, the landlord reserves all kinds of privileges to himself
