The High school cadets are confronted by

the military advantage of having Uncle
Sam foot the bills. Commandant Tompsett
is giving much thought to the matter, but
sees no other way than to follow the cam
paign plan Of last year and borrow the
amount needed, the debts TO be paid from
the proceeds of entertainments to be given
in the future. He says that the railroads
have given a liberal rate Of less than /
cent per mile and that he hopes for dona-
tions from commission men, such as were
given last year, but that the expense will
still be so heavy that somebody will have
to be appealed to TO help out financially.

BURGLARS USE FIRE ESCAPE
They Enter Castelar, school and
Carry on Clocks and other
Things.

The new FIRE escapes on the CASTELAR,
school building at Eighteenth and CASTELAR,
were OF use for the first time Sunday night,
but 1t was a burglar or burglars who got
the beneht.
They climbed the escape ladder on the
south side Of the building, broke a pane Of
glass, reached through and unfastened the
window lock-and the rest was easy.
When the teachers opened school at 0
o'clock the trouble began, for two Of the
clocks were missing. The class in history
transgressed on the time OF the class in
geography and the little boy who was to
have gone home at 10 o'clock to help his
mother wash didn't get away until half an
hour later, and started of crying over what
he had missed.
But the timepieces were not the only
things missing. Madeline Maude Number
reported the loss OF a lead pencil, Charles
Roderick Rollicking stated that his pen
holder had been stole and thereafter
every little girl or boy In the building dis
covered that in one way or another he or
sho had suffered at the hands Of the bur.
glars. Superintendent Pearse, however,
states that the total loss and damage will
not exceed 800. Secretary Burgess states
that while there is no clue now the thieves
will be discovered II possible and will be
prosecuted to the limit as a discouragement
TO similar attempts in future.

New York Influences.

BERLIN, May 1.-THE Incidents on Wall
street absorbed the entire attention OF the
market here during the last week, and
German bourses were chiefly under the in
huence of New York. The weekly financial
reviews. with their usual warnings, deal
in moralizing on the subsection of the Ger
man bourses to the American lead. The
Frankfurter Zeitung declares the prevailing
opinion to be that the situation at New
York is threatening, although the symp-
toms Of the week do not presage the long
expected crash. Nevertheless, continues
this paper, the American situation is very
precarious and a crash is inevitable sooner
or later, perhaps in a year. Some news
papers compare the last week on Wall
street with the occurrences there Of about
a wear ago.

Textiles,

MANCHESTER May 1.-THE fall in the
price Of cotton restricted business on the
cloth market last week, Sellers generally
complained OF the unsatisfactory progress
made during the week, buyers mostly
looked on. Business with China has been
practically suspended. A few orders were
purchases of bleaching cloths and the bet
ter class OF prints from the Levant. Yarns
were easier, but did not help business. The
daily fluctuations in the price Of cotton
restrict shippers to small transactions and
the home trade is content to supply i'm
mediate requirements.
