GROCER ARRESTED.
For Selling Impure Food. A Hard Fought
Trial is Expected.

At Dayton, Ohio, grocer named
John l.. Schuster. has been arrested
for selling Arbuckle's Ariosa Coffee.
The Pure Food Department of Ohio
claim that the glazing on Ariosa
Coffee makes it unstable in that
state. This interests other grocerS,
because similar actions are likely to
be brought against them for selling
Arbuckle's nr any other coffee which
has been glazed or coated.
The trial has been set for June End.
1t is understood that the Arbuckles
will send New York lawyers to defend
the case. The Pure Food and Dairy
Commissioner. Joseph II. Blackburn,
will employ the best legal talent he
can. secure to represent the states side
Of the case. The laws of Ohio are
very strict in protecting the people
against impure food. 1t is claimed
that Arbuckle'S Coffee is impure,
because it is coated with a glazing
that serves to cover up defects and
make the coffee look better than it
really is. and that this glazing is
cheaper than coffee. Every one who
drinks coffee will be interested in the
outcome of this case.

BOOKS CATALOGUED.
The Total Number of Books in Public Schools
2,7O3


Supt. Hambrecht completed the
cataloguing of the books in the
libraries of the city schools last Satur-
day. The total number of books in
the high schools is 1,4SS, and in the
graders, 1,215. making grand total of
2,7O3.
This is the first time in the history
of our schools that such complete
list of the books found in the several
schools has been made. The label in
each book bears the name of the
department., ward building, number
of book and date. The catalogue gives
the following information about
every book: Number, title, edition,
name of publisher, author, building,
department. and date. Anyone can
thus, by looking into the catalogue, tell
how many and what books each
department has. When book is lost
the system of cataloguing makes it an
easy matter for the superintendent to
replace it.
1t has been the policy of the super
iDtendent to purchase those books
only which may be helpful to the
teacher and pupil in their school work.
If the necessary books are found in
the public library, they are seldom
duplicated in the school library.

AN EVENING OF MUSIC.
Over 800 Pupils OF the Public Schools Enter
tain at the Opera House.

Among the notable events of this
school year was the musicale given by
the pupils of our public schools at
the opera house last Friday evening
The program was arranged and the
pupils drilled by our efficient
instructor of music, Miss Reeves.
The pupils were not taught new
songs merely for this occasion, but
also reviewed selections that they had
learned during the year
The program was divided into two
sections. part one" being given over
to selections rendered by the pupils of
the first, second, third and fourth
grades and part two by the pupils
OF the fifth, sixth, seventh and eight
grades. In addition to the vocal
selections, instrumental trios were
given by Angelic, Eleanor and Philip
Gouger Of the Howe Grammar Grades.
The music was of the highest grade.

" lSIioCiCu III SNCCU
ish voices certainly gave all Joy to
hear. The american Negro Cradle
Song" sung by the pupils of the
second and third grades, was irresis-
tably funny and most heartily encored.
''Fiddle-de-Dee," a German Folksong,
by the pupils of the fifth. sixth and
seventh grades, was especially bright
and pleasing.
The selections by Angelic, Eleanor
and Philip Gouger were received with
the utmost enthusiasm by the
audience. These young people are
improving rapidly and bid fair to be
among the leading musicians of the
city.
The exercises closed by the singing
of columbia. the Gem of the Ocean. J"
and America" Thus ended one of
most delightful programs of music
that our citizens have had the privi-
lege to attend.
The parents and friends of the
children testified to their interest in
the music of the public schools by
turning out in large numbers, the
opera house being so crowded that
after 100 O'Clock standing room alone
was available.
