The PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS MADE

Last nights meeting Of the Schoo
Board was one of the most importan
from a business standpoint that has
been held for some time. Although
the employment of teachers for the
coming year was not taken up, a large
number of applications were referred
to the Teachers committee, and action
in that line will probably be taken VI
at the next regular meeting. All mem
bers were present excepting Mr.. Dye
The minutes were read and approved
and Mr.. McGiney. of Pittsburg. was
present and explained his $4,000 sys-
tenn of heating the new High School
building. The Board took no action
in this matter as the price was con-
sidered more than they had figured on
paying for heating apparatus.
A resolution was introduced by the
Teachers committee Recommending
that Mr.. H. G.. Williams be employed
as Superintendent of the city schools
for three years, beginning July /, 1900
at salary og $4,000 per year. This
resolution was adopted by a unani-
nous vote. Superintendent William:
| responded to this action of the Boar(
| in a few we'll chosen remarks, saying
that he appreciated this evidence ol
the confidence placed in him by the
Board and feeling that it gave him
their support in all that was best fol
the schools of Marietta.
Mr.. Eyssen reported that the Build
| ing Committee had made tour of the
East End Monday afternoon and after
examining the grounds and consider
ing the needs of the schools and pros
poets of financial support to prepare
for the betterment of existing condi
tions. had thought best to recommend
the building of a one room addition tc
the Fultonburg building and a two
room building on the school lot or
Pike street. Action on this matter
however, was deferred.
Clerk Meisenhelder read a list
which had been carefully compiled
from statistics of salaries paid to Su
perintendents and High School Princl
pals and the number of teachers in thu
schools of Ohio cities the size of Ma.
rietta. This list had been prepared
for the purpose of comparison ant
showed that Marietta was not paying
she Superintendent of Schools as much
as other cities where there was less
work to do. Following is the list:

Arbor Day Exercises at Mus

Much as it is regretted that they
were not reported promptly, it is not
tco late to make the Acknowledgements

their words, their songs, their gifts

Owing to the illness of the Chair
man of the Press Committee on the
occasion, the report seemed to de-
volve upon no one and as it is never
too late to correct such mistake and
is most justly due, not only the
speakers on the occasion, but the
scholars who brought plants and fol
iage, the Improvement Association ex-
presses its qualification at the evil
dences shown in their work on that
day.
Dubious as the weather was, the
scholars came in large numbers and
many brought plants and foliage as

Many thanks are due Mr.. Bird for
his training the pupils vocally for the
occasion: also to Mr.. Coil and Mr.

House-Cleaning Lamentations.

What is man, that he should be up
on the earth when the time of the
cleaning of houses is with us?
Verify, he is torn deuce in an old
deck.
He is like unto the price mark or
the bonnet of last year. For he is nc!
worth looking at.
He riseth up in the morning anc
steppeth upon a cake of soap that
nestleth upon the uppermost stair, ant
when he steppeth again he is entang
led among the rugs.
And the chairs and the dishes ant
stepladder.
And his own profanity.
Verify, his helpmeet he knowetf
not.
For she wrappeth dishcloth abou
her head and putteth upon herself {
garb that looketh like unto thirty
shekels.
And she hath smut upon her nose
and a hunted look in her eyes.
And she filleth her mouth with car
pet tacks and string and standeth a.
the top of the stairs.
And talketh to the hired girl il
tones like unto the voice of boiler
factory.
Yet, the man knoweth not where tt
go.
II he sitteth down in the parlor HI
findeth that he hath absorbed taclIs II
the value of ten cents
And if he goeth into the dining
room 10 eat he fndoth cold fish and
vessel of soap suds on the table.
And when he hunteth for his neck
tie, TO- it is fastened about the stove
pipe.
Peradventure he goeth into the bacl
yard and findeth the carpet hanging
upon the line.
Where the sound of its beating aris
eth unto the blue sky, and its dus
clingeth unto his nostrils.
When he steppeth upon the side
walk he falleth over the potted plant
and walketh into the mirror.
Yet, is there no escape for him; fo'
is not the whole street the same way?
So that he wisheth that he were
balloonist.
And had his balloon in convenient
place.
Fer the bathtub is heaped witt
books.
And the sitting room is a place o
cookstoyes and dishpans,
And the kitchen containeth the pl.
ano and the gas meter.
And there is no place for him,
No, not one.
And he sayeth to himself,
"Of surety is married life grand
sweet song,
But 1t is Wagnerian."
And he enjoyeth the music.

so.-Baltimore American.

be excused for the violation OF any OF
them. even though not included in
those applicable to his department. L.

Then follows a most remarkable
clause or rule which reads. Every en-
ployee while on duty connected with
the trains on any division of the road
is under the authority and must con-
form to the orders Of the superintend-
ent OF that division Now, If the en-
ployee has a certain order from the su-
perintendent that conflicts with those
of the book, the road has him double
headed.
ITO obey the superintendent and dis
obey the rule means discharge, as II
distinctly states that no one will be ex-
cused for the violation Of any Of Them
while on the other hand he must con-
form to the orders of the superintend-
ent,' so he is apt to become discharged

1t is an interesting position that one
finds when studying the relations that
connect the railroad employee with the

and regulations. 1t has a ring OF

Democrats Are Consistent.

"This administration, corrupt and
bloody, is seeking by the fragrant
use of arbitrary power, to destroy
the union, TO overthrow the consti-
tuition and to establish an empire
upon the ruins of the republic. 1t
is prosecuting this unholy and un-
righteous war in order to force its
unwelcome authority upon our fell
lowmen without their consent and
against their protest. The tyrant
who is now in the executive chair
aspires to be crowned as the monarch
of a subjugated people, and if his
Infamous program is successful the
liberties of the citizens will be
crushed out under the iron heel of
military dcspotism. 1t behooves the
people to arise in their might and
defeat the usurper to the end that
the rights secured by the Declare
ton of Independence and the Con-
stitution of the United States may
not be totally cut off,"
Does that sound like a democratic
speech in this year 1900? Well, it
isn't.
