Novel Suit Because Of Failure to Marry
a Beautiful Woman.

W. E. Beck, a prominent young
planter OF Bibb county, Ala. has
brought suit 10 the United States
court at Birmingham, against the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
for $40 900 damages, which be claims
because, as he asserts, that corpora
ton caused him to lose a wife.
Beck, young man name Ragland
and third, whose name is not given,
we're all seeking the hand OF Miss
Dora Ward, of Centerville. one Of the
most beautiful young women of that
place. Each suitor was pressing for
a favorable reply. Miss Ward, it is
stated, wired each Of them the same
day that such an answer might be
forthcoming to the first sultor to reach
her.
The young men resided in widely
different places, and Rsgland, hsp-
pening to be the first to reach MISS
Ward, welded her. Beck, who was
at Repton, 200 miles away, telegraph
ed, begging her to give him sufficient
time to arrive and to be sure to await
his letter. The third man missed his
train.
Beck alleges in his suit that the
telegraph operator at Centerville
was instructed to deliver his tele-
graph to Miss Ward Immediately,
and claims there was long delay ID
it's delivery. The failure to deliver
the message caused him to lose a
wife, he says, and hence he wants
damages.

DR.. scuTHALL's REPORT.

The biennial report of the Superin.
teudeut Of Publc Instruction to the
General Assembly is ono OF the
mos, interesting If public documents
furoished by Virginia State ttliclsls
Probably the most interesting
feature Of The report IS th"t
portion which deals with the subj ct
If rural schools. Tue report dwells
upon the transportation Of pupils
e. the schools 10 country districts.
The hauling Of the pupils from their
homes 10 the schools Is not
directly recon merded but the results
of experiments IN other States is
80 forc,oly presented that the plan
rs practically recommended. BE-
,r4,sportatlou OF pupils has been

ent SAYS thst the number ot IN
graded country schools Is at present
TOO gres', sud suggests that II D.
decreased. aud thst the children b.

schools being brought 10 the chill

The subisc, of negro education
receives tull and radical treat
meut. Tue reioft says that the
education Of the negro IN the South
has been failure. l. is argued
mat the present system trains the
mind of the negro clone. aud that
out imperfecrly. He does not receive
education sufi ieient under the Prescn'
ystem TO enable him 10 earn liyeli-
mood without manual labor. Yet he
snon thinks be knows euoDeb 10 live
without working with his hands. The
result is be becomes criminal or q
vsg4 40ond. This same view Is taken
bv Superintendent Fussell, Of tie
Hamoton School. in his last sunusI
report. The report recommends
that manual training be introduced
into the negro schools in Virginia.
Tue report discusses the subject OF
manual training At some length. The
conclusion is reached that the intro
duction of such training into the
public schools Of the State is TO b'
desired
The report recommends tha'

uumb Der of colleges and universities

Northerrars Dent Want colored
Teachers.

There is likely to be trouble 10 the
Brooklyn, n. y, school board next
Tuesday over the recent selection OF
a colored man as a teacher in school
No. ia, which is located in Cansr
sic. An effort will be made at this
meeting to have the appointment re
voked. Threats on the part OF the
corps of white teachers in the school
to resign in a body if the appoint
ment is not recalled complIcate the
situation.
William L. Buckley, Ph. D., is the
man to whom these objections are
made. At the meeting of the school
board, November 13, Samuel II.
Scottron, chairman of the local com
mittee of No. la school, asked for
his appointment as teacher. but said
nothing about his color. Mr.. Scott
ron is himself colored man, and the
only representative of his race on the
board. There are only few c)lored
children in the school, and they have
never been collected into a separate
class.
The local committee of this school
consists of Mr.. Scottrou, DR.. j. X.
Powell, and Edward NJ. BIssett. DR..
Powell, it appears, bad been previ'
ously seen by Mr.. Scottron with ref
erence to the appointment, and made
no objection. There is no doubt as
to the qualifications Of Mr. Buckley.
HIS color is the only objection found
to him. The other teachers declare
that they will not teach alongside 3
colored teacher.
MrScottron said few days ago that
Buckley is not stranger in educa-
tional circles, as nine months ago be
was applicant for the position of
teacher of languages in the Eastern
District High School.
L" He was formerly vice president
Of the ClaAiu University, in South
Carolina, and teacher Of lspgu
ages" continued Mr.. Scottron. q" He
came to Brooklyn more than q year
ago in the interest Of the university,
and was so favorsbly impressed that
he decided to remsin. 10 September
be passed an examination under DR..
Maxwell, city superintendent OF
schools, for the position of assistant
principal. ~ -,
There was vacancy in No. ia
school little later, and | thought
Mr.. Buckley would be good man to
Gil ii. cent him to Messrs. BAssett
and Powell, who consented to mis- sp-
pointment. Later Mr.. Bassett with
drew his consent on the ground that
he had thought it was class of col
ored children be was TO teach. and
not white children. Mr.. Bsssett ex
citedly Informed me that he had
heard from the teachers of the school,
! who declared that if Mr.. Buckley

was plAc d in lhe ,chooI they you'd

was plac ID in the -chool they would
resign.n
On learning of this Mr.. Scottroa
said he called meetirgl the school,
at which DR. PowCll gave his con'e9t
20 the appointment, but Mr.. Basset'
refused 10 give his.
1t wss also asserted by Mr.. Scott
ron that Mrs. Mary J McHencb
principal OF the school, had expressed
10 him her satisfaction with the sp
ointment Of Mr. Buckley. When
seen 10 her home all she wouldssy
WAS that there was 70 trouble in the
school.
DR.. Powell said that she called on
him after the appointment WAS known
and said that she objected to having
a colored teacher in the school, and
said she id not think it tho proper
thing, and that if the appointment
we're made the trustees would re
sign.

matter up at the school board meet
