that the meeting held at the Commercial

not express the action of the club. Section
8, of the articles Of association, provides

by but one member of the committee ap-

what the committee was doing and had
done. He acknowledged this and when the
matter was explained to him, he expressed
his surprise to find that the committee was
so carefully considering the welfare of the
city and stated that it was different from
the representations that had been made to
him. After he had departed the committed

S"TREET-CAR BILL TEXT
THE NEW MEASURE FAVORARLY RE-
PORTED IN THE HOUSE.
How the City Can Forfeit F~ranchise
-Purchase of P~Iant-other
Features.

The House committee on the affairs Of the
city of Indianapolis late yesterday after
noon reported the substitute street-car bill.
The bill to provide for the consolidation of
the companies now operating in this city
and TO cover the sale of all lines to one COM
pany was introduced a week ago last Mon
day by Mr.. Noel, but it did not exactly meet
the approval of the committee. Since then
The committees on the affairs of this city of
both House and Senate have had many
meetings together and have framed the
substitute. This bill was yesterday reported
by the committee, with the recommendation
that all in the original bin after the enact
ing clause should be stricken out and this
substitute bill passed.
Chairman Noel, of the House committee,
yesterday made the following authorized
statement regarding the substitute bill:
There is a popular impression abroad that
e h He and azure practically grants the iran
seems TO have prevailed at the Commercial
CIuo meeting last night. This is entirely
10 the city authorities the power for them
selves to make such a contract, and hence
the law which the Legislature enacts can
not provide specifically for all the details of
me contract. The province for the grant
from the Legislature is simply to confer
power upon the city authorities, at the same
time throwing such safeguards about the
exercise or such power as will prevent its
aDuse. FOR instance, we could not fix the
amount or money which must be paid into
the city treasury, and we could not bargain
tor Fairview Park and the Shelby-street
parns. That is a matter of negotiation to
party.
The bin reported upon to-day has, how
ever; put such restrictions upon the actions
OF Inc city Council as will require them to
MAKE an advantageous contract, If they
make any at all. It is these restrictions
mat nave taken the time of the committee
ior tne last week. 1t win be seen that the
plll requires that the city authorities shall
reserve TO themselves the power to prac-
lcalIy operate the plant Of any company
Securlng a franchise. There are certain POI
ice powers with which neither the city nor
ire Legislature can part, either by con-
IdCt OF Otherwise. such as the right to reg
uIdte speed, to require heating of cars and
~ provide That they are otherwise comfort
@ple ana safe. OF these powers the bin has.
" course, made no mention, but the bin
uoes require that the, city shall at ali times
resefve TO itself the right to require that
LIodeFn methods of propulsion shall be used.

PROVISIONS of this bin the company must be

der individually, and not as in the
United States, collectively, in the class
of such and such year. 1t is this
which makes the term '.classmate" en-
tirely inapplicable to an English school
boy, and the meaning of the term
'schoolfellow," in its English sense,
somewhat difficult for an American to
comprehend.
Projects.
In all the public schools a great part
of the out-of-class discipline is placed
in the hands of the boys of the upper
sixth form, who are called projects, or
monitors, and who. with d considerable
measure of authority, are granted also
many privileges, such as private rooms
in which to work and take some of their
meals, called studies" better food than
the other boys, sometimes permission
to smoke, and flags" or boys in the
bottom forms to wait upon them in the
role of personal servants.
To enforce discipline, they are au-
thoriZed to administer summary pun
ishment with the cane, and to report
more serious offenses through the me-
dunn of the head project direct to the
head master.
In addition to the projects there are
sub-prefects, a few boys chosen from
the lower sixth and upper fifth forms to
aid the projects, with less authority
and fewer privileges, though, like the
projects, it would be considered
breach of etiquette for them to consort
with the other boys.
Using the Cane.
Generally from among the projects
boy is elected to fill the office of cap
tain of games. who arranges the differ
ent matches, and as all games are COM
pulsory he Furnishes with the cane alb
sentees without leave.
In all the public schools the cane is IN
constant use, to complain of the vista
ton of which form of punishment
would not only be futile, but regarded
by the other boys as a sign of the worst
possible cowardice. For the more Sc
rious offenses birch is used, but only
by the head master, in the presence OF
the whole school,, when the cost of the
weapon, about 81 is subsequently
charged up in the bill, so that the par
ents of the culprit may be made fully
aware of the fact.
A very usual form of punishment for
negligence in study is to be given 800
lines and gated until DONE which
means that the recipient must write
out 500 lines of say, Caesar or Virgil,
and is confined in the premises until
the imposition or '.impost" is finished.
The most terrible fate, however, which
can befall an English schoolboy is ex-
pulsion from the school-an eventually
that is regarded as the worst thing
that may happen, for it attaches a stig-
ma to a boys name that clingS for the
rest of his life, and for which reason
