SCHOOL KEEPS.
ST. MARY'S PAROCHIAL SCHOOL GETS
DOWN TO WORK.
The Pupils Assemble In Their Places And
School Begins Again Under Most
Favorable Auspices.

Again the American flag flutters to the
breeze from the flag pole in front of ST.
Mary's School on Duke of Gloucester
street, and again pupils are assembled in
their places and school has begun in
earnest for another year.
Yesterday St. Mary's Parochial School
re-opened for the thirty-ffth annual
session. Its enrolment was ISo. but this
is considered small, as last year il num-
bered nearly two hundred. Perhaps the
weather has something to do with chill
dren not attending promptly. All classes
have been organized under the instruc-
ton of four sisters of Notre Dame, and
the sister Superioress, who has entire
charge of St. Mary's School.
One of the sisters teaches the school
for colored children, which numbers fifty.
Many applications have been made for
entrance at this school, but as it has its
quota, and all grades are instructed by
one Sister. it was impossible to receive
more pupils. The same curriculum will
be in force this year as last, except in
the boys department ofmanual training.
where ba kerry and Raffia work will be
taught in connection with mechanical
drawing. The Palmer method of writing,
which proved so successful last year, will
be taught this year in all departments.
The highest. grade taught in St. Mary
School is the Eighth. In the next gradu
ating class there are at present seven
pupils-two boys and FIVE girls. who are
expected to complete the course. The
standard of the school is raised each
year by the introduction OF new and
higher studies and advanced methods
of teaching. The teachers of the school
the Sisters of Notre Dame, are them
selves students and have devoted their
lives to the education of the young. In
this country these Sisters are two thous.
and strong, and yet this number is not
sufficient by half for the work which
they are called upon to do.
Besides the other religious vows the
Sisters take, the Notre Dame Sisters take
an additional one. to give their lives to
educate the young. Their work is thor
ough and conscientious and they always
have good results. Since last year the
school has undergone many improve
ments. Three of the class rooms are
being finished with a coating of star wall
polish in light green--a color that is
restful to the eyes. II is new material,
fire proof and does not rub off. The
school rooms have neat appearance,
the children are all quiet and orderly,
and are under excellent discipline.
Last year handsome map was pre-
sented by Mr.. Conroy to the school. and
this year the regent Of the Peggy Stewart
Tea Party Chapter, d. A. r., will present
the school with handsome, illuminated
copy of the Declaration of independence
with seals of the states the signers rep
resent. 1t will be framed and hung in
the. corridor The school has opened
under most favorable auspices.

WHERE WERE THEY ?
Not One Police Officer Answered The Early
Morning Call.

The residents of Conduit street, be-
tween Main and Duke of G oucester
streets. were suddenly awakened at 3
o'clock this morning by the shrieks Of
a woman and her cries for help. In an
instant several gentlemen of nearby resi-
dences were on the scene, but not a
police was within reach, although cries
Of "police" were loud and long.
Conflicting stories as to the cause for
the disturbance are afloat. One is that
the man of the house returned from a
fishing trip at the hour of 3 a. m. and
his home coming disturbed the Inmates.
Another cause given is that the young
woman who shrieked and called for help
thought someone was trying to break in
by prizing open the shutter. No intruder
could be found, however, and the much
alarmed neighbors retreated after con-
siderable excitement.

MENACE TO HEALTH
Proper Attention Is Not Paid The City,
Thoroughfares.

Notwithstanding the many notices that
have been given out by the city commits
sioner, Mr.. John A. Russell, residents of
every street in town have failed to clean
the grass away from the sidewalk, the
cutters and curbs.
If the penalty for violating this portion
of the City Code were enforced, the city
Jail would not hold the offenders, and
the Golfers of the city treasury would be
full and running over. The grass and
weeds are menace to health. besides
being most unsightly.
On certain prominent street in town
there is an overgrown grass and weed
plot at the side of fine residence, and
there are still others-many of them.
The condition of the sidewalks at present
does not commend itself to strangers or
is it favorable recommendation for the
residents neatness and tidiness as house
keepers. BY all means, clean away the
grass and weeds from the sidewalks, or
let the penalty be imposed.

A STRONG PLAY.
"Human Hearts" At The CO.
lonial Theatre Makes
Many Weep.

A strong and thoroughly capable com.
pany presented MIR. w L Nankeville' s
beautiful, but pathetic idyl of the Arkan.
sas Hills-"Human Hearts" last night
at the Colonial Theatre.
There were FIVE acts. and barring the
long waits between some of them, the
play was perfect success. The charac-
tiers were all well cast, and each one
seemed we'll adapted to his own par
ticular part. As the blacksmith and hero
of the plot, Mr.. George w. Murdock did
excellent work as tom Logan"
Mr.. Murdock is powerfully built man
and was cast as one of ''God's noble
men," Mr.. Walcott was typical villain
of the plot. His acting was smooth and
clean cut, but his voice was little heavy
at first. No greater compliment could
have been paid Mr.. Walcott than the
Kissing he received from the gallery.
The tramp character was a star one.
and in the hands of MIR. o. M. Paul it
was most successful. He has chosen his
vocation wisely and well, and is a great
success. His makeup was perfect and
his appearance on the stage was always
welcome. Inc COloIeu CHARACTER dSSuHlSu
by Mr.. Waltham was well taken, as was
MIR. Boursohn's Jimmy Logan" !"
In the male character of "Limpy
Morgan" Miss Waltham scored hit, as
did also Miss Cadelle as Ruth Miss
Carpenter as Samantha" and Miss Ida
lockwood as Jeanette Logan" the
confidence woman who deceived her
husband, and to whom a just retribution
was meted out. Baby Helene, as little
"Grace," did beautifully and won much
applause from the large audience.
The play pointed striking moral and
there were many pathetic scenes. There
were few dry eyes in the theatre. even
among the men. many Of whom were
seen to dry their eyes during the telling
scenes of pathos in "Human Hearts"
