of the American Bridge company un-
til the steel trust gathered 1t In and
he got into a row with Schwab, is
now in difficulties with his prospect
i've neighbors in the aristocratic sub
urb of Narberth.
AS a result he has announced that
unless they withdraw their opposition
to his turning the public highways
to suit his convenience, he will per-
manently abandon the country pal
ace he is building and seek resi-
dence elsewhere, probably in Eng
land. This threat has not caused the
neighbors to back down at present
writing.
Roberts Narberth property in
cludes 400 acres of fine farm lands,
with q public road running through
the middle of it. When he first
planned his Rizabethan country
house, Roberts decided to turn this
road aside about 1000 feet so as to
get it off his land. The neighbors
and township commissioners said
nothing until he had spent $4,000 on
mile of fine macadam roadway.
When Roberts got ready to close the
original road. however. he promptly
heard from the township officers, who
had been urged by the other land
owners.

To remedy some of the defects
state legislation is needed and the
payment of satisfactory salaries to
teachers will also have much to do
in holding teachers for long terms
of service and thus reduce the ne
cessity of adapting new teachers to
local conditions. He treats of the
modern ides of lighting facilities and
well ventilated rooms and also the
saving of blackboard space
He is also well pleased with the
large assembly halls that have been
introduced in all of the new buildings:
A commercial course and an unlim-
tied as to age night school course
would be Of excellent service to the
community.
An ungraded school would also do
much to benefit this city.
School government is also dis
cussed and different methods of
teaching and helpful hints are treat

The different studies are gone over

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-Dr.
Edwin Nj. Stealey, a well known dem

telephoned to his wife and calmly
awaited death.
Despite the efforts of three ply

His relatives know of no reason
why he should have ended his life,
and the cause of his self-destruction
is a mystery.
When Mrs. Stealey answered the

remarked:
II have taken 81 grains of strych-

'Why did you do it?' she asked,
and he made some testing remark
which at first led her to believe that
he was but joking at her expense.
Then he continued in a tone which
left little doubt in her mind that he
had really taken the poison;

met Messrs. Hickey and Sexton, the
two delegates from the minor asso-

baseball enthusiasts that he was re-

Sting Of a Bug
Produces SIumber.

MENDON, Mich. March 1s.-Phy-
sicians are mystified over the strange
illness Of Oscar Newasky. residing
seven miles east Of here.
Newasky was stung on the cheek
by a bug and a few hours later re-
lapsed into a semi-conscious state,
in which he has lain ever since. His
cheek, neck and shoulders have
swollen to far greater size than the
normal, and the efforts of physicians
to reduce the swelling have been in
vain.
The bug was stunned by a blow
from Newasky's hand just as 1t stung
him. and was picked up and preserv-
ed. 1t had long wings similar to a
common bat and its legs are double
jointed, with a tendency to curve or
bow. The head is fully an inch in
diameter covered with fuzz partly
covering a protruding bill like a
mosquito.

all other physicians have failed to

as queen, be able to look upon her
people.
She is very popular in Sweden,
more so than her husband, and her
affection is n national grief Before
her marriage she was the princess of

this city, together with the new coun-
cilmen.
The election of James II. Hawley as
mayor OF Boise Is regarded as a strong
personal victory and also demonstrates
that the old order Of things has passed
away. Boise is city OF homes and
churches, and the good people Of the
town have declared that gambling In
all Its forms must cease that vice must
hide its head and that the laws upon
the statute books must be enforced Mr..
Hawley uneQuivocally pledged himself
TO this policy and was elected mayor in
consequence. He goes into Office with
the best wishes OF a large majority Of
the people OF Boise and can make the
office a stepping stone TO the governor
ship II he so chooses
II the matter OF appointments there
Is likely to be some scrapping should
the mayor insist on using his preroga-
tive to make nominations.
