Miss Lipman has shared the honors
with Mr.. Mann in nearly all of his sue

laughing girl in Charles Dickson's
comedy "Incog," but like Mr.. Mann,
her strongest hit was made in the
title role of 1.-THE Girl from Paris" when
it was first produced in New York some
four years ago. She also made a dis
tinct and lasting success in the titular
role in 1.-The Telephone Girl" in which
she and Mr.. Mann starred the past two
seasons. The part she portrays in the
new comedy is that of a French music
hall chanteuse, and is somewhat similar
to the role which she created in 1.-THE
Girl from Paris" In the cast will be

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
LAST NIGHTS MEETING WAS SHORT
BUT IMPORT4N INT.
Board Votes Not to Receive Hnmdcn
Scholars at Boardman School Unless
Regular Tuition of 500 Is Paid-uam-
den School Meeting of August 2 Void


ertson.
The board of education held a regu-
lar session last night, all the members
being present with the exception of
Mr.. Belts. The meeting was a short
one, lasting but three-qua1ters of an
hour.
The most important business trans
acted was the adoption of the opinion
of Corporation Counsel in the report Of
the finance committee on the Hamden
schools question. 1t seems that on
August 2, 1899, there was a meeting or
the school committee of Hamden, at
which but three of the nine members
We're present. Business of Importance
was transacted Notwithstanding the
fact that no quorum was present and
an important question with regard to
granting of certificates to Hamden
children by which they might attend
Boardman school was decided upon.
At that meeting, which Corporation
Counsel Robertson declares was Illegal,
1t was voted to grant certificates to
Hamden children, allowing them to at
tend Boardman on the payment Of the
sum of $50. The city provides that out
of town scholars attending Boardman
shall pay $50 year, therefore the ques-
ton as to the legality of the meeting
arose.
President Whitney wrote to Corpora
ton Counsel Robertson for his opinion
on the question and last night the opin
ion was read by Mr.. Hooker.
Mr. Robertson said he was of the
opinion that the board of education
was justified in claiming that the bust
ness of the meeting of August was
void and also that any business trans
acted In meetings since then which had
directly to do with any business trans
acted at the meeting of August was
also void In view Of these facts the
board last night voted not to receive
Hamden children at Boardman without
paying tuition of $50 per annum,
Superintendent Kendall's report was
as follows:
The statistical report for the school
month ending December l. 1899, and for
the corresponding month last year is as
follows:
Total number of different pupils reg
istered II, 1855 of whom S,00S were boys
anud 1857 girls.
One year ago $15,353
Increase over last year 512.
Average number registered 15,3604.
One year ago 14,9612
increase over last year 1892.
Average daily attendance 14,641.7.
One year ago 14,014.3.
Increase over last year 8274
Following is the report of the even
ing school average attendance for the

the corresponding week last wear.

it is holiday week there was a very
large audience present. 1t is not in
many years that such an excellent at

novel of Marie Coreli and was origin
ally produced at the SALISBURY thea

ed to large audiences for over one year.
In its stage form it has aroused the
most intense interest. During this play

which Miss Jennie Praegar Premiere
appears. The electric display in this
act is one of the most beautiful that
has been seen at the Grand In many
years. The last act showing the storm

The first requisite is proper court

men now erecting the court here for
Mrs. Vanderbilt have set out to use up
that much money and will probably Go
so. The court is very similar to hand
ball court, long hall with solid wooden
floor. ceiing and walls, against which a
small ball is batted by the players.
In ''fives,' as the English play it, the
bail is struck with the open hand, but
that is too severe exercise Tor Newport
society, and accordingly the regulation
tennis racquet viii be used. That is where
squash differs from lives Around
three sides of the room a small gallery
is built for the spectator who are eX-
pected to applaud clever plays, espe-
cfally if they are made by Mrs. Wander
bit. Little is known of the intricacies
Of the game, because it has not been
played much in this country, and then
under cover, as it were, in the courts to
which the public is not admitted There
are usually two players at Il time, each
operating In her own territory and sepa-
rated from one another by a line on the
floor. One, known as the server, sn1ites
the ball with the racquet so it will strike
the wall within certain boundary The
other player catches the ball on the
bound and returns it against the wall
and thus the game goes on until the ball
falls to the floor High up on the walls
surrounding the court are little windows
protected by wire netting. If the bali
strikes one of these the play is ''out -
and this is also the case If the ball strikes

will come the agricultural settlers, they
say. Much Of this section of the state
will be opened for settlement and ulti-
mately brought under tfllage and made
the homes of thousands of Industrious
farmers. The proposed park scheme
would stop all this and absolutely stop
the development of that part of the
state.
The experts say there Is timber enough
left to keep the Minneapolis mills busy
for from fifteen to twenty years yet. In
1880 it was estimated by the census ex-
perts that there was then standing in
Minnesota 10000, 600 feet of standing
timber, and they allowed fifteen years for
the last of it to have passed into con-
sumption. Since that estimate was made
there has been cut IN Minnesota not less
than II, OGo, 000,000 feet of lumber, and the
end of the business is now computed to
be another fifteen years distant With
fifteen years of activity before them 1t is
likely to prove hard proposition to con-
vince the lumbermen that it is their duty
to desert the field in the interest of a
national park.
The Indians are another uncertain ele-
ment They must be appeased and made
to see wherein the scheme will rebound
to their advantage. And can they ever
be induced to give up their tfne-honored
reservations? In parts of the proposed
park, notably Cass and Hubbard coun-
ties, are many settlers getting their Hv-
ing from the acres they have cleaned of
timber with SO much labor and expense
What Will they think in this matter?
Along the railway and logging lines are
thrifty, enterprising towns and villages.
ambitious for the future and looking
ahead to a rapid and continuous develop
ment. What will be their status under
the new regime? Col. Cooper declares
that the setting aside Of that country as
a park and the preservation of the timber
viii be their salvation; that otherwise
they will go the way of the decayfng
towns Of upper Michigan and Wiscon-
sin.
The railroads need not be considered
in this connection. They own but little
within the confines Of the proposed park
and that is not of the highest character
