The board instructed Superintendent
Dyer to devise a plan whereby the high
school students may be accommodated
with the present amount Of room. The
plan discussed was to work the univer-
sity plan and hire, if absolutely neces-
airy, one or two more teachers. No
definite action was taken.
The board also had its attention called
to the may pole swings now used on
the school play grounds. 1t seems sew
eral Of the children have been injured by
these swings and the board discussed the
propriety of disseminating them. The
opinion prevailed that there is danger in
any kind of a contrivance for amuse-
ment and that the board would not be
warranted in taking the rry-go-rounds
from the children after they have worked
so hard to get them. However, a COM
nlittee was assigned the task Of thor
oughly investigating the matter.

A GoIf1ng Prodigy.

Among the new discoveries of the
present season young man at Worces-
ter, Mass, who In less than one month
was driving from 225 to 256 yards, Is
perhaps the most notable. One of the
principal features of his playing was
also that he was perfectly accurate in
his direction and sent the ball as he
wished 1t to go. His approaching and
putting shots were well worthy Of
MENTION and, in fact, his talent SEEM
ed to be developed along many lines, q
rare thing in n beginner. He has made
the record of his course and, further
than this, has made longer drives than
the two professionals who superin-
tended the laying out of the course.
He plays in as good form as many
players who have had years Of expert
ence and when addressing the ball
shows little hesitation in striking after
careful measurement. A number of
professionals who have witnessed the
remarkable playing of this young man
have given their verdict that there has
as yet been no golfer who could make
such record In so short time, and
they predict a successful and brilliant
future for this golfing prodigy.

STRANDED TOURISTS.
Christian EndeayOr ExcursiOnists
Reach New York mt Last

New York, Aug. 31.-Many of the 42O
Christian Endeavorers who reached this
port from Europe on the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Aller are unable to
proceed to their homes by reason of lack
of funds. Neither had any of the 420
any baggage when they arrived, lacking
even change of linen. They tell har-
rowing stories of their experience abroad.
They report the continent of Europe to
be dotted with ill used Christian Endeay-
orer tourists.
Two thousand Endeavorers sailed from
this port July 4 by the steamer Trave.
The contingent just arrived on the Aller
is the advance guard of the army of hard
luck that is returning from the continent
as fast as money from home" will hiring
them from interior points to Cherbourg
or Southampton, where they meet the
steamers. Their passage home had been
paid.
The pilgrims on the Aller were from
Philadelphia, Maryland, ST. Louis, Mem
phis and other points in the south and
west.
The majority of them are stranded
here in New York, awaiting remttances
to take them home. They are well to do
persons at that. Last June they paid
! from $500 to $500 to a tourist agency to
take them to London for the internation-
al convention of Endeavorers and there
after across the continent on various per-
sonally conducted tours.
Mrs. s. j. Edwards of st. Louis one
of the party, says that the first troubles
came from the fact that the agency as
signed one guide and two baggagemen to
party of 1S0 tourists. The baggage
men insisted on trying to drink up all
the liquor they saw between London and
Italy, and rs a result the baggage got
hopelessly mixed. The hotels the tour
lists were assigned to We're for the most
part of such Il character and so limited
i'll accommodations that the sightseers
suffered all sorts of inconvenience
Parts of their tours which were to be
made in carriages had to be taken on
foot, and finally at Maringen the guide
Informed them that the managers would
have to abandon the tour through lack
of funds and the excursionists would
have to pay their own fare to Cher
bourg.
Then those not well supplied with mon
ey had to borrow from those better fix
ed, and the French seaport was reached.
Here they were informed that their

| trip across the ocean was made with sim
ply the clothes they had on their backs
when they landed at Cherbourg.
The ladies of the G.. a. r. have elected
the following officers: President, Mrs.
Eta Tobey, Logansport, Ind; national
councillor, Mrs. DIR. Julia II. Schade, Phil
adelphia; senior vice president Mrs. Julia
Ellis, Chicago; Junior vice president,
Mrs. Mary Jameson, Marine City, Mich.

The officers elected by the Daughters

BANDITS GOT SIOO, 900
Thrilling Hold Up of Union
Pacific Express Train.
MONEY BELONGED TO UNCLE SAM.
1t Was En- Route For Manila to Pay
American SOldiers-FnmOus Outlaw
Band the Robbers-Now Fighting
Desperately TO Escape.

Table Rock. Wy, Aug. 31.-As a re-
suit of the robbery of the New York and
Pacific Coast limited of the Union Pacific
four bandits secured 100000 in curren-
cy belonging to the troops of Manila, and
the robbers are fighting their way fiercey
against heavy odds in order to escape
with their booty.
1t was one of the most dramatic cases
of railroad robbery on record The big
through train was speeding across the
Red desert east of here and had reached
21a miles west of Upton Station, 5S
miles west of Rawlins. about o'clock,
when a masked man who had got aboard
somewhere farther east leaped from the
baggage car on to the tender of the en-
gine and, covering the engineer with a
Winchester, ordered him to stop at n
bonfire a little distance along the line.
When the bonfire was reached three 9th
er bandits, carrying heavy rifles and
wearing masks, came forward.
Passengers Badly Frightened.
The messenger was ordered from the
express car under pain of being blown
up, and several shots were fired through
the ear to hasten his descent. Then the
outlaws emptied their rifles at the coach
es to keep inquisitive passengers back.
This spread report among the latter
that the bandits were coming back to go
through the cars, and panic ensued.
The passengers hid their valuables in
every conceivable place. and one lady
swallowed large diamond she had plac-
ed in her mouth for safety. The bandits
shot at one passenger to scare him. An
other one began walking around, and n
robber knocked him down with the butt
of his Winchester and told him to lie
there or he would get killed. Another
old man, who was deaf, put his head out
of the car window and just withdrew it
in time to save his life. He had not
heard the robbers orders.
The bandits worked very coolly. The
express car was detached from the train,
run forward n few yards and was simply
blown to pieces with dynamite. The ban
dts took two bags of gold and paper
money from the wreck, threw the booty
across their horses. which they had tied
to a telegraph pole, and in a moment
were galloping away, firing their rifles at
the train as they departed.
Fifty Men In Pursuit.
In less than two hours 30 men were at
the spot with a special train and, spurred
on by the offer of 81 600 for each bandit
taken or killed from the railway COM
pany, were in pursuit of the fugitives.
1t is now said that the men, who are
members of the "Dutch" Cassidy outlaw
band are cornered 80 miles north in the
Red desert. They are trying to get to
the Brown Park country, which is the
abode Of many outlaws. The outlaws
have an enormous quantity of ammuni-
tion and are prepared to make n desper-
ate resistance, They shot a deputy long
before they were sighted by the officers
The outlaws are using white powder and
have an advantage over the officers in
this, that their whereabouts cannot be
definitely located in the scrub pines along
the route of their fight.

crew during the fall of 1896 he was
given a trial on the varsity and rowed
at bow for the following spring at Sar-
atoga, when Penn defeated Cornell.
The following year he rowed at No 5,
as he was much heavier than the year
previous. This season he rowed at
No. Z, which position, next to stroke, is
the most important in the boat. His
election meets with general approval
both among the oarsmen and the un-
dergraduates. This honor Is well de-
served, as he is the only man, except
Gardiner, who has rowed in every one
of Penn's champion crews. Physically
Flickwir is double chested, sturdy
athlete, 3 feet IL inches tall and weighs

Not According to G. Washington.


At Interstate park, at Queens, n. Y,
there are many trophies of the chase

black bass in glass case was added to
the collection. According to a legend

the captain at once told the others
what a beautiful time he had in land

when Walter Sykes told some one else
that he had hooked the fish and that
his setter dog had jumped overheard
and brought the bass ashore. That
was the best story of the lot, and even
Tom Morley and Captain Money, al
though they both claimed the credit of
catching the fish, could not merit tale

SHE WANTED A FRESH CoPY.-John
Burroughs at a small dinner in New
York last winter, told this story of w.
D. Howells:
Last Christmas Mr.. Howells wished
to give a copy of one of his books,
which had just been published, to a
distant relative. When acquainted
with Mr.. Howell's intention, the pros
pective recipient was delighted beyond
measure. Mr. Howells, wishing to give
more pleasure, took up his pen and
dipped it in the ink.
Shall write in lt?" he asked tenta-
lively.
The distant kinsman blushed, and
then said awkwardly: "Oh, If you
please, Mr.. Howells, I'd so much rather
have fresh copy"
Mr.. Burroughs AYERS that he got the
fresh copy" without any trouble, and
that he has had none since.-Philadel-
