YALE'S HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.

Yale schools are in better condition
and can start out with better prospects
than ever before. The lawns on both
grounds have been improved greatly,
and the eyes of the children will be
greeted with that shade of color so
pleasing to the vision and restful to
both mind and body. This is quite an
advance over the almost bare ground
and barren scenes of the past. This
line of improvement is especially mark
ed at the primary schools.
Little by little furniture, fixtures,
and necessary apparatus have been adj
ded until our school rooms are now
equipped second to none in like COM
munities. A dynamo has been recent
ly added to the electrical apparatus.
Four new organs are in use daily in the
several rooms. Statuary, pictures,
maps and charts adorn the walls; a
new case for the library, and some new
desks for the teachers, one of these, the
handiwork of Myron Arnold, has re-
Gently been placed.
But better than all these, and with
out which all these would be waste,
is the underlying foundation, the essen

we possess in the $50 bright pupils en-

enrolment the boys out-numbered the
girls by twelve count.
In the schools there are signs of
growing interest. The tuition received
for foreign scholars in the High school
is nearly double what it was three years
ago. The number of library books
read last year is seven fold greater than
three years ago.

IS OUR RICHEST MAN.
Belief That John Rockefeller
Has Reached That Distinc-
tiOn.

New York, Dec. New proof of the
probable truth of Andrew Carnegie's
statement that John D. Rockefeller is
the richest man in the world was given
in the offer of $500 a share for $500
shares of Standard Oil stock, to be de-
livered January 1 next The offer was
made in the Waldorf Astoria Thursday
evening by Congressman Jefferson NJ
Levy
Assuming that Mr.. Levy is not anxious
to pay more than the actual value for
Standard Oil stock, the holdings of Mr.
Rockefeller in that company must be
worth approximately 1886, 900, 900. AS is
we'll known, Mr.. Rockefeller has large
interests in many concerns besides
Standard Oil. If he had increased his
wealth in no other direction than
through his Standard Oil stock during
the last year he would still be worth
about s95. 900, 600 more than he was
year ago Mr.. Rockefeller's annual in

stock alone is estimated at about $l6,-

RIGHTS OF SETTLERS.
Contests May Begin When Kansas
Accepts Fort Hays Reservation.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-The sec
rotary of the interior has been called
upon by members of the Kansas delega-
ton for information as to whether or
not a considerable number of settlers
on the abandoned Fort Hays military
reservation in Kansas are legally en-
titled to the lands which they are now
occupying.
AS soon as the Kansas legislature ac-
eepts the lands conveyed to the state
by the act of congress, contests will
probably be instituted against all the
settlers who have not obtained patents
to their lands The fact that the state of
Kansas will become a party to the con-
tests will not remove the cases from the
general land office as was generally sup
posed The settlement of this question
can not be secured, as many of the
members of the Kansas delegation de-
sired. before the final transferral of the
lands to the state occurs. As to how
far the contests will extend remains with
the executive officers of the state gov
eminent to decide.

it a rule to accomplish whatever have

He is man of determination and of
experience. I would not waste cents

Evelyn B. Baldwin, whom Mr.. Ziegler
has chosen to head the expedition, is a
man of medium height. He is well built,
has brown hair and bright blue eyes.
He has a modest manner and is one of
the last men a person would select for
a battle with the elements in the Arctic
regions.
He has always taken deep interest
in meteorology. He was member of
the Peary Arctic expedition in 1S93-1S94.
In 1897 he went to Spitzbergen, having
volunteered to accompany Andree on
his aerial flight, but there being no
room for him in the basket of the big
balloon, he could not proceed. In 1888
Mr.. Baldwin accompanied the Wellman
expedition to Franz Josef Land. Early
in the present year he made trip to
the Republic of Colombia, South Amer
