PROPRIETOR BUFFALO LITHA SPRINGS, VIRGINIA.
FIRST coLoRED PRINCIPAL.
A Negro Likely to Have Charge of a
New York school.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-There is no
doubt that at the next session of the
Board of Education William L. Bulkiey
will be nominated by Borough Superin-
tendent of Schools John Jasper, for the
position of principal of School No. 60 in
West Forty-first Street. Mr. Buckley will
be the first negro to be appointed to such
position.
School No. so is attended largely by
colored boys and girls, and has been a
source of much perplexity to the Board
of Education. For the last three months
there has been no regular principal at
this school, and Superintendent Jasper
has tried In vain to get some one to take
charge of it, but no one whom he selected
would stay long at this building.
Mr.. Jasper then had recourse to the
eligible list of men principals, and of
fered the school in turn to each of these,
but all declined It. At last Mr.. Bulkley's
name was mentioned for the place, and
Mr.. Jasper decided that he had found the
right man. He lost no time in com
municating with Mr.. Bulkley, with whom
he had several conferences last week
Mr.. Buckley is at present teacher in
Public School No. ia, at Canarsie, po-
sition which he has held for more than
year. Superintendent Jasper said yester-
day he was confident if anyone could
build up School No so, which has run
down of late, Mr.. Buckley was the man
to do it.
There are now only 800 pupils in the
school, but Superintendent Jasper be-
lieves that as soon as an educator of Mr.
Bulkley's experience takes hold the at
tendance will increase rapidly. 1t is Su-
perintendent Jasper's ambition to build
this school into one OF the strongest in
situations in the educational system of
this city, and he thinks that its peculiar
needs require man who is at once pro-
gressive, refined. and experienced, and he
says II was for these reasons he selected
Mr.. Buckley.
Mr.. Buckley is thirty-nine years old and
lives with his wife and four children at
26S Skillman Street, Brooklyn. He was
born in Greenville, s C. He was grad
uated from Claflin University, at Orange
burg. After receiving his diploma he
took postgraduate course in the Uni
versity of Syracuse. and from there he
went to Wesleyan University, and then
to Europe, where he became a student at
Strasburg University. From Germany he
went to Paris, and entered as a student
at Sorbonne University, where he made
specially of philology.
He then returned to South Carolina and
became professor of Latin and Greek at
Clafiin University, and in 1896 was chosen
vice president of that institution. He
came to Brooklyn early in 1899.

on plans for the absorption of the Wis
consin Central and the Chicago and Great
Western, for the purpose of eliminating
these two smaller lines from the field and
thus preventing possible competition. The
Chicago and Great Western has no bonded
indebtedness and could therefore reduce
rates to lower points than any of its COM
petitors. II reaches out from Chicago to
st. Paul and Minneapolis in the Northwest
and to Kansas City, which is the gateway
to the Southwest. AS 1t has no fixed
charges IL could operate for an indefinite
period for rates which would simply pay
the cost of running trains and keep the
property in fair physical condition. The
Wisconsin Central is another heretofore
independent line, which, having just
passed through a reorganization, has
sealed its fixed charges down TO such COM
paratively low point that it. too. could be-
come a serious menace to the stability OF
rates. Apparently the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific will be interested in
the Wisconsin Central purchase, while
the acquisition of the Great Western could
be divided between these two strong roads
and the Hartman syndicate, which con-
trolls the Chicago and Alton and many
roads traversing the territory covered by
the Southwestern extension of the Chicago
and Great Western.

1t is stated authoritatively that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is in no way
interested in the operations of the So
called Morris syndicate which is seeking
to construct a new railroad in the BIZ
luminous coal districts of Ohio. The
building OF the proposed line would be an
invasion Of the territory tributary to the
Wheeling and Lake Erie and the Cleve-
land LOrain and Wheeling roads. 1t is
now believed that the entire scheme is
for the purpose OF compelling the rail-
roads to give more favorable rates to the
shippers of bituminous coal. Under the
present joint ownership of the coal-carry-
ing and producing roads, fixed schedules
have been established, which apply to
large as well as small shippers. Some of
the wholesale coal dealers at Chicago and
other lake points have tried to force the
roads to give them special concessions,
but without success. The alleged oppo-
sition line has not yet reached a point in
its financing where 1t can be positively
stated that the actual construction will
begin. The assurance that the Baltimore
and Ohio Is in no way interested in the
operations Of the syndicate practically
means that there will be little support
given to the new undertaking by the large
railway interests.

The movement in Burlington is one of
the subjects most discussed wherever the
brokers and traders get together. The
position of the Burlington road when the
Union Pacific acquired control of the Gen.
trail through purchase of the Southern
Pacific became subject of considerable
interest in speculation. There was ma
terial there for a bear movement in Bur
lington, and it is more than probable that
certain operators jumped hastily to this
conclusion, and put out considerable line
of shorts in the stock, which they have
since taken in with some haste and loss.
Their reasoning was at fault in two res
pects-first. that the Union Pacific people.
in buying Southern Pacific, did it to secure
their own position and TO maintain peace
full relations with all other roads the last
thing in their minds being to make trouble
for anyone.
Secondly, there appears to have been
previous understanding, expressed or i'm
piled, that whatever Encouragement of
Pacific Coast lines should follow from Mr..
Huntington's death. the Burlington should
be absolutely protected. Who was to be
the protector or how the protecting was
to be done we have no information; but
that the Burlington was to be made Sc
cure has been very positively stated by
people who ought to know whereof they
speak. The same people recently inti-
mated their expectations of seeing an ad-
vance in Burlingtons market price.

"a few years ago Orange county

says q special correspondent Of the
Chicago Inter Ocean. I'm the town
OF Warwick alone there were ~ ap-
plejack distilleriss. We turned out
100000 gallons 3 year and paid the
government $4,000 . year tax for
doing 1t. There WAS scarcely a town
in the county that didn't squeeze its
quota Of apples into cider and con
vert the cider into spplejack.
Orange county began the making
of apple jack before the revolutionary
war. There 10 in use in the Sayre

jack paid excise duty to King George
III. 1t was then in a still somewhere
in the Hudson highlands The Sayre
stin il the only one left out of tie,

OF the county have disappeared.
There are perhaps not more than 1o.-
900 gallons of applejsck made in
Orange county to-day.
There WAS time, not long ago,
when one would hear no other tipple
asked for by the bibulously inclined
in Orange county. II you asked for
whisky. applejack would invariably
be set out to you. To-day II you ask
for apple jack right here in its old
time home the landlord will have to
take look over his stock TO see
whether he has got any. It was no
uncommon thing for as high as ten
dollars q gallon to be paid for apple
jack known to be from soms partic-
ular still, or to have been q certain

lar. Some of the best applejack ever
made il lying in farm cellars to-day.
There is some more than 40 years
old. But somehow the present gen.
Grafton has gone away from the good
old taste OF the fathers, and apple
jack that ought to be worth one dol
lar drop is ignored for tumultuous
rye and cheap beer.
"The distillers that are left in
Orange county say there 10 no money
in applejack any more. one reason
being that rye and corn whisky can
be made 20 much cheaper. So the
glory Of Orange county apple jack IL
gone, and it really makes little DIFF
