STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
William E. Brown Will Be Music
 Teacher This Year.

4
 The State Normal School at New Haven opened for the term yesterday most auspiciously. The new class was remarkably large. It will probably eclipse in size that of last year, which was larger than that of any previous year in the history of the school. Last year 40 pupils were received in the entering class. Principal Morrill, said that about 100 pupils had already en- tered for the term. and it Is thought that at least fifty more will be received within the next two weeks. Only two changes have been made in the list of instructors. William E. Brown has been appointed to succeed Edwin B. Birge as teacher of music MT Birge resigned, it will be remembered. last June to accept position in the Indianapolis public schools. Joseph D. Marvin who, during the past term. had acted as instructor in natural science, has been succeeded by H. N. Loomis, the former teacher, who se- cured leave of absence last year and went to Harvard university where he completed his course and secured his degree. He has been a teacher at the Normal school for the past six years. MT Marvin was serving as substitute during his absence. Principal Morrill, was very enthusiastic in speaking of the new class and he is confident that within a month it will have attained a larger number than last years enter ing class.

Reorganization Not to be Carried on

Reorganization Not to be Carried on
 With His Consent.
 Washington, Sept 1.-The proposal to have a meeting of Bryan democrats with the Jackson club picnic in Omaha has caused local comment among east ern politicians. 1t is learned that thus far Governor McAIillin of Tennessee and Governor Culberson of Texas are to be present and deliver addresses, as
 will William J. Bryan. The fact that it was proposed at first to invite Da- vid B. Hill of New York to take part, and later, for some unexplained req son, this decision was altered and no invitation will be sent to the New Yorker, has caused no end of com
 ment.
 Politicians here who have been watching the trend of events in the west say there is every indication that the Omaha meeting will mark the be-
 ginning of fight by the free silver and the Bryan element i'll the Demo cratic party to gain control of the national organization.
 The recent statement by Senator Vest and those which have been ac- credited to others who took part act lively in the management of the last Democratic campaign discounting the
 influence and principles of Bryan, has greatly alarmed that element of the
 party which stood with the Nebraska leader. The action of the Ohio and Pennsylyania democrats in rejecting the last national issue of the democrats also had an effect. The opinion is free | ly expressed here that if Bryan and his l following find that the eastern ele-
 ment of the party, and that the gold element in the middle west, threaten l ing to break away from Bryan's lead l ership, they will go to the extent of l forming a third party.
 Bryan or none of his following will | admit that the plan is a third party l movement, but in effect it will result l the same. The Bryan people will re- l fuse to recognize those who do not re- affirm the Kansas City platform. Pos l sibIy they may be found in a minority but they will declare that they are tue 1 regulars"
 Several public men who have spent | q mart of the summer in the middle l west say a surprise is i'll store for the eastern democrats who propose reor- I ganization movement. They admit that there has been growing impress sion in the east that the party. after | two trials and failures, finally had rid itself of the Bryan fallacy. These men, notably one of those who has
 spent the last six weeks in Indiana,
 Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, say that the Bryan strength in parts of the
 west remains extremely strong It is believed here that at the Omaha meeting some warm talk will be in dulged in by the Bryan leaders, and the gauntlet will be thrown down t those who propose reorganization and : the elimination of Bryan and free sii [ I yer and the type Of socialism fol
 which Bryan has stood.

FOxHALL KEENE IN COURT.
Accused for Second Time of Violating
 Newport Automobile Ordinance.


 Newport, Sept 4.-Foxhall Keene, the polo player and automobilist, is having trouble of his own in Newport. Again he was conspicuous figure in the police station. coming there to answer to a warrant sworn out against him by the farmers out on the island but as the judge was not present he question of how much he should be fined went over until to-day, when he was arraigned for violating the ordi- nance restricting the speed of automo. piles.
 The offense for which Mir Keene must answer took place last week when lie went cross country riding witI his racing automobile. The farmers object to their cattle and chickens be ing scared to death. and decided to put stop to it, if possible, and the New port Sheriff was instructed to arres' the reckless driver
 This is Mir Keene's second offense and. instead of being fined $1O ant l costs, as he was before. it is likely tha the judge will raise it to $2O, the limit 1 The residents at war with the auto I mobilists are trying to have the ordI l nance amended so that imprisonmen as well as fine can be imposed.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Square at Corner of Bank and Grand

Square at Corner of Bank and Grand
 Streets Will Be Improved.
 The board of public works held 2 meeting yesterday afternoon, Mayor Kilduff presiding and all the members being present.
 The monthly and miscellaneous bills for the month of July were read and approved.
 The payrolls of the several depart ments were as follows: Streets, s. 994.53; sewers, $337.O9; water, $6SS 83; additional water supply, $474; engi- neering, $644.13.
 A bill of $179 was received from Robert McGrath for repairs on his premises at the corner of Phoenix ave nue and East Main street. No one act ing for the city had anything to do in contracting the bill and it was deemed wise to investigate it. This, together with bill of $54 from Charles Wins low of Fleet street, who represented that the layout of the new street being made there passed through his garden. was referred to a committee consisting of Commissioners Whiting and Chesson for investigation and report.
 Property owners on Robbins street were called and heard regarding the proposed grade and layout of that street Samuel Root was very much opposed to the project while c. A. Colley and Walter Holmes were strong ly in favor of it. Owing to the fact that one or two property owners did not have notices served on them, no action was taken in the premises. Engineer Cairns submitted estimates | for new work as follows: Sewer in Bergen street from Ridge street easterly 27O feet. $5S0. Sewer in Seymour street from Clark l street to South Wilson street, $55O. l Sewer in Bishop street from tho l present terminus of the sewer to Pine street $95O.
 Sewer in Locust street, from Round Hill street to Walnut street, $1,750. l Surface hardening of Baldwin street from Stone street to Washington l street, $3,00O.
 l Extension of water main in Nortl Willow street, from the terminus O the main to a point opposite Demares 1 street, $1,725.
 Extension of the storm water culver in Hill street, from the present ter minus of the culvert in Summer stree to the old city line. $1.S5O. Storm water channel for Littl Brook. from the south line of Hawkin 1 street northerly to the north line o Bronson street, $6,O0O.
 Continuation of Little Brook condui from the north line of Abbott avenu to the northwest line of North Mai street, $12,0O0. For as much of, tn conduit as will be in the street. $2, ,1O(
 It was voted to recommend that tn conduit across North Main street b built and that property owners i Adams street be given a preliminar hearing regarding the layout of tha street on September IT.
 I The continued hearing on sidewalk for Pine street was taken from tn table and concluded. The superi1 tendent of streets was instructed to talk steps to relieve Abbott avenue frol surface water and the superintendent of water was instructed to preve1 the overflow of water in the trough 2 North square.

The Court system.

Editor Of the Times:
slr,-ln reforming the court system OF
the State would it not be best to let the
court OF the counties retain the name OF
County Court, even though tsaId by a dis
trict Judge:
1t Woulo seem so, because:
1. All the records or deeds, wills, titles
and the public business generally OF the
counties, since their foundations are in
the county courts and their clerks OFFICES
| and all references TO such matters in this
as well as other States are made to the
county courts.
2. The County Court is an institution so
old and familiar to the people that, even
il the name is changed to the Circuit or
District Court, it will still be known and
called County Court by the masses and
much confusion may result.
8. The people feel much pride in their
local County Court and are inclined to
look upon a Circuit or District Court as
more Of a foreign court.
g. The County Court Clerk is an .insti-
tution," so to speak, coevaI with the Conn
ty Court He is generally the best-inform-
ed mar about county affairs and all the
people, without regard to conditions III
life, go to him for in ormation. He is CON
sidered public property To change his
name to Circuit or District Clerk would
be considered radical and would lead to
confusion in many instances
The writer believes the counties should
have local courts and local judges, be-
cause a judge from distant county can
not possibly be so well acuauinted with
the people and local conditions as a local
judse-a knowledge very necessary for the
usefulness and efficiency OF a County
Court.
It earnestly hoped that the convention
will retain the names County Court, and
County Clerk consistently with the his
tory of Virginia and her people. The i,,dga
should be subordinated to the court and
not the court to the Judge. O..
