One Publisher Yesterday Suggested TO III.
Board the hdop ion Of His Almanac
For Use in the Pubic
Schools.

The State Board of Education has al
ready commenced the adoption of text
books for use in the public schools, and
the members of it hope to complete the
list today.
At last nights meeting of the board
those books on which there is practical
unanimity among members of the board
were taken up and adopted. Those en-
which there is wide difference OF opinion
are left till the last.
The names of the books adopted will
not be made known till the list is com
pleted This is the express desire Of
members of the board, and hence the
names of those so far passed on are not
here given.
The board was in session till midnight,
when it adjourned to meet again this
morning and resume the work in hand
The method of adoption is to take up a
subject, examine the books offered on that
subject, consult the bids of publishers
and the gradings of the subcommittee,
then discuss the books generally and the
needs to be supplied by them. After all
these matters are considered a vote is
had on its adoption.
So far there has been practical unani-
nifty in every vote taken.
The hearing of book men by the board
was concluded yesterday afternoon at
o'clock, after which a recess was taken
until last night.
BY all odds the most amusing thing
that has yet occurred in connection with
this book business was the grave sugges-
ton of one publisher yesterday that the
board adopt his almanac for use in the
public schools OF course the board de-
cIined, but it had to do SO amid a roar
OF laughter
Another amusing thing was the anxiety
Of the book men during the meeting last
night There is some half a hundred OF
them in the city and they were to be
found all the way from the capitol tc
the Marlborough trying to get some It'd
ings from the GRANDDAUGHTER it was
adopting books or not, and if so what
books.
They did not retire until after the
board adjourned, but they learned little
for their pains and loss of sleep, foi
the members of the board, when they
came out, were close as clans, and wher
questioned as to what they had done
opened not their mouths, but were
silent as the moon

AFTERNOON SESSION.
With a lobby of one. the Senate re-
stunned the work Of passing on the rules
and several sections were accepted
without argument.

Home Rulers a section of the rules was

to reconsider and following his eaa
the original rule was accepted.

Dickey, rising to point of order,
said they had been out of order for
twenty minutes He wanted the House
to return to the first business after the
suspension of rules and read all the
bills and notices over again.
The speaker thought otherwise
Aylett, serious dark man. gained
the attention of the House by a big
shout. Some thought he was about to
deliver an Grafton but he merely stated
that he had been startled at the speak
er's announcement of the appointment
of two assistant clerks. He said that
he had gazed at them since the session
opened and. had believed them news
paper reporters. He was about to score
the extravaganza of the speaker when
the latter ruled him out Of order.
Robertson poured oil on the waters
by saying that the House would soon
have the $4,000 appropriated for it's
expenses at its disposal and as the Re-
publican minority had no representa-
ton on the spending committee, that
fact would account for the appointment
of two clerks for whom there was alb
solutely no need.
The House adjourned at ? o'clock.

ing made the target for many letters.

consent?
Mr.. White said that the amendment
which he had introduced was the prop
er medicine and Mr.. Carter answered
that this was homeopathic dose
which he could not take, being an
allopath.
White, tired of debate, proposed that
the question be put TO the vote and
lsettled once for all.
Brown threatened that if the rule was
lpassed he would insist that it be lived
up to, and that he would not permit
translation if a speaker occupied the
full time prescribed.
The.chair offered as a suggestion that
ten minutes be allowed on a motion,
five on an amendment and exclusive of
