the improvement of State National Guard

The Times so far has refrained from
personal comment in connection with the
apparently shady failure of the Seventh
National Bank of New York, among the
directors of which institution are several
persons known to fame. not strictly local
in character: The authorities appear
willing TO hold anyone found guilty of ir-
reguiarities to accountability, and the in
dications seem to be that the bank eX-
aminer and experts, who are inveStigat-
ing the affairs and practices of the col
lapsed institution, before many days may
have a startling story to tell. 1t looks
that way this morning.

King Edward has sat for a new portrait
to be used on the postage and revenue
stamps and the coin of the realm, and new
issues viii soon replace those now in use
as rapidly the old ones can be retired
The gold and silver coins will naturally
remain in circulation for many years. but
those that find their way into the Bank
of England will be sent to the mint as
bullion to be melted up and recoined with
the head of the King instead of Queen
Victoria $. it has been suggested that
this change i'm the currency VIII afford a
good opportunity TO retire permanently
the half crown. which is so confusing to
strangers and is really unneceSsa ry. 1t
is worth 2l2 shillings and is only a trhe
larger than the 2-shilliug piece. which it
closely resembles
1t would be a good thing, also if the
Government could, 10y some law. get rid
Of the guinea. which is even more an
moving. Guineas are no longer coined,
but the tradesmen still use that term in
computing values. a guinea is a shilling
more than a pound, hence merchants
mark their goods in guineas and hotel
Keepers reckon their charges by the same
value FOR the sake of exactiug an addi-
tioGal shilling. which is not only a uui-
sance. but an eNtortion that should be
prevented by law.

The ice companies have three houses

Those who were not present at the
educational meeting in the Plank
Road church Tuesday evening, Feb.
II, missed a fine thing. County Supt.
Griffith was present and showed by his
Introductory remarks that he is much
interested in the schools and that he
knows their wants. He spoke of the
needs of many schools in the way of
repairs and proper furniture. Often
the seats are too high for the primary
classes. Children should be able to put
on a board placed for the purpose.
The clerk of the school board should
consult often with the teacher SO as to
learn the wants Of the school. Modern
text books should be procured which
can be had for half price.
Mr.. w. H. CheeYer, of the Mi1wau-
kee Normal school, state lecturer on
schools and education, was then intro
duced. He is very pleasant speaker
and had good attention for an hour
and half. He spoke of the small
wages of teachers. Some would say
they do not work any harder than the
farm hand. But such do not consider
the cost of their years of training.
Professor Cheever took up the sub
iect of the Central school. That plan
works we'll in most townships. There
are a few, though, rare exceptions.
The plan is to have one central high
school building with departments or
grades and with six well paid teachers.
The present small rural schools are
given up entirely. Teams are hired
to carry the pupils from their homes
by good sized covered wagons to the
central school and back every day.
This gives both young and older adj
vantages equal to the best city schools
and is great saving of expense.
GA sensible talk" said one of the
leading farmers present.
After the lecture Miss Stella Black
man and Miss Rowbottom of Bristol
sang a beautiful duet with Mrs. Shep-
ard as accompanist. This was fol-
lowed by another song as an encore.
Meetings of this kind are very help
full to both parents and the children,
who certainly deserve as much atten-
ton as the farm animals.

Is Laugh Producer by the Author of
Browns II Town.


Laugh and the world laughs with
you'' is the guiding axiom of the the
atrica1 world today. Our serious an
cestors were fond of sombre tragedies,
but the present generation speaks re-
lief from the social pressure of this
commercial age in the lighter forms of
entertainment. This is the exp1ana-
ton of the phenomenal success of the
latest and funniest of farces, ''The
Red Cat" that comes to the opera
house next Sunday evening.
It is literally what its clever author,
Mark Swan, calls IAN efferrescent
ecstacy," for it is brilliant bubble
like sparkling glass of champagne.
The scenes are all laid in "The Red
Cat' inn where the guests raise more
trouble in an hour than political con-
vention does in three days. The piece
is all fun and fro1ic.
The company includes such well
known New York favorites as Lew H.
Newcomb, Fred G. Hern, Roy Foster,
Dorothy Dean, Franklin Gale, Alice
Williams, Wallace West and Mark E.
Swan, the author. Seats are now on
sale at the usual place.
