WERE REJECTED.
Boys Try to Enlist In Uncle
Sans Army, but Are
Rejected.

Uncle Sam wants "sojer" bows, OF
course, but he does not care to enlist
young men under age, especially IL their
parents object.
A few cases Of that description occur.
rcd here yesterday and one instance was
most remarkable.
Grafton Greenleaf OF Diamond Hill ap-
piled at Captoin Pendletons ofice to
enlist and he said he was p years old.
He looked the part all right, for he was
six feet, two inches tall and weighed 1862
pounds.
Young Greenleaf passed an excellent
examination and DIR. Hendricks. the ox-
amining jhysician, readily signed for his
being y years of agc.
He was to be mustered I'm TODAY. hut
yesterday his father appeared a, the re-
cruiting Office at II North MafIn street
and said that he did not want his son to
enlist because he II only IS years old.
Grafton was consequently rejected and
his father has notified i.7e recruiting Of
iicer az Boston. New Bedford, Fall River.
Worcester and elsewhere.
Another case that came up here yes
terGay was that OF Armeder Duuuette
10 years old, Ave feet, four and one-half
inches tall, of Valley Falls.
After he had been I'm the office a little
while he took the necessary papers for
HIS parents to sign and said he was going
To get his mothers signature first.
Sergeant Chamberlain suspected that
the young man intended to sign the pa
pers himself and his suspicious were
strengthened when Duduettc's brother
came In and said that II Armeder enlisted
his mother would not only arrest him,
but would arrest the recruiting officers,
as we'll
Armeder was forthwith summarily re-
jected and elected.
Still another singular case was that of
John Williamson OF % Edwin street, this
city.
John was examined yesterday and pass
ed u very good examination.
Then he gave the officers an address TO
send the papers TO which his father. an
artisan. was To sign.
Later the boy brought the paper back
and an inspection OF the signature con-
vinced the officers that n was too nice
writing for n working man.
Williamson was thereupon told 10 re-

SCHOOLS ARE TOO FULL
SUPERINTENDENT IS TRYING no
SECURE ACCOMMODATIONS.


According to the superintendent Of
schools, the question of accommodation
Is becoming somewhat of a problem. AL
ready 800 extra seats have been placed
in the Mechanic Arts, Scheffer, Madison,
Whittier Hendricks, Douglas, Longfel-
low, Hancock, Murray, Jackson, Frank
lin, Hawthorne and Cleveland schools
since the opening of the term, and these
schools are in much better shape, but are
cramped for room, nevertheless.
In spite OF the extra seats, the pressure
at the Madison school is so great that
the school board is considering the adj
visibility OF transferring number Of
pupils to the Schaefer school 1t has
been found that strip of five blocks,
between University and Sherburne ave-
nues, is as close to one school as to the
other and all children going to Madison
from that strip may be transferred to
Schae fer school.
The superintendent has had time to
thoroughly look into the matter Of school
accommodations, but he is, nevertheless,
convinced that a new school or two could
be comfortably occupied without sensibly
reducing the attendance at the other
schools.
AT present, in several schools, the same
classes have to be taught in two relays,
the rooms not being large enough to con-
tain them all, and this state of affairs
is what the superintendent and his as
sistants are endeayoring to do away with

NECHr REMOVES sEsPICEoN.

All doubt surrounding the death of
Mrs. Mary Schildnecht, of III St Peter
street, whose demise occurred Tuesday,
was removed by a post norton held yes
terday afternoon by Coroner Nelson,
! who stated that he could find no traces
of poison, and gave it as his opinion that
the woman died a natural death caused
by rupture of an aneurism. The post
norton was held because Of talk by
Justus Asnidt who limited that her
death had been caused by poison
Asraidt in notifying the police, based
his suspicious on the fact that. Jacob
Schlindnecht, the dead woman hus-
band, helper employed by the st. Paul

few days ago. and when he departed a.
quantity of arsenic was found missing
from the medicine chest.

Mrs. Schifdnecht was taken with violent
pains and vomiting, which gradually
grew worse and at midnight eliminated
in her death.
