BOARD ON HoUsEBoATs.
Accommodation Offered New York; CTS Who Like to Live on
 the Water.

The fact that board can now be got on houseboats near New York puts the bachelor maid and the single man boarder in a position to test a new order of domestic accomm odation. says the New York Sun.
 Two sorts of houseboats offer sum- mer commodations to boarders. First, there is the boat of comparative ly primitive description, which does not rent for a large sum, on which the boarder gets merely a berth and a locker, and all the furnishings in the various departments are of the sim plest and plainest.
 Then there is the houseboat of high class English pattern, with all modern house conveniences, antique fittings, library, staterooms, etc, and liberal amount. of deck room The rates of board on the4two kinds correspond with the accommodations offered.
 The water facilities for houseboatine within 25 miles of New York are such as to arouse enthusiasm for this sort of summer lodging.
 Doubtless in addition to houseboat boarding colonies there will soon be houseboats offering furnished rooms and apartments to the public and others making 8 speciality of providing meals for the neighboring roomers.

SHE CHEERS THEM UP.
The "Cheering-Up Lady'' Is a Func- tionary Who Tries to Make
 Folks Happy.

On the order books of the Woman's exchange in this city, it appears, is worker known as ''the cheering-up lady" She is kept busy all the time. It is her function to visit lonely homes, to play cards with venera ble widows or spinsters, to read, talk and "look pleas ant"
 Here should be a 1aborer never fail- ing to be worth more than her hire. Professional mourners we no longer know nor wish to know: of professional cheerers-up it should not be possible to know too many. We bespeak serious rivalry for this old lady who looks pleasant. Here is the happiest com bination of business and philanthropy. She exhibits an idea worthy of inde- finite extension through an infinite variety of clients.
 There is no culture more important or pressing, says the New York World, than that of the smile which means good cheer. -

OAKVILLE HAPPENINGS

At the meeting of the South school district held last evening, 0. U. War ner was reappointed committeeman for the coming year, and William Ratch- ford was appointed clerk. All the re- ports of the foregoing year were unani mously accepted, and all the proceed ings of the meeting were quite in ac- cordance with the Judgment of each member. The question of building new schoolhouse, sooner or later, for better accommodations, was spoken about with much interest and it was deemed that such an enterprise would in time become indispensable. The site that was considered most fit for larger schoolhouse is the piece of land between Davis street school and the new barber shop, on the little knoll just below what is known as sTaylor's old place." Accordingly committee of three persons, 0. L. Warner, Henry Warner and Timothy Kelly, IT, was appointed to investigate as to how much the land could be bought for. Even though it should not be decided to build new schooIhouse just yet the meeting deemed it would be wise to buy building lot while one can be Adu dI d ESdSOudDlS price, TOT oak vile is growing rapidly and the we'll located land is becoming very valua- ble. It was also said there was some thing being done of late years for the ,consodilhtion of the, surrounding school districts. @

 NEW YORK, Juno 3o.-Traflc in the outlying sections of the city was crtp- pied by the heavy rainfall and nuner- ous washouts. Flntbush, Gravesend, IlaGlands, Manhattan Beach, large part or Long Island and the upper DOT tions Of the Bronx all suffered, and trains and trolley cars ran hours be- hind fhoir schedules. One of the most serious washouts occurred not far from the East New York station of tho Long Island rail- road, where tho trains for Manhattan matca tracks. ,,..5 This wasnout tied up the race trains bound for the sheepshead Bay track and delayed tho running of the first rnce. ~e
 Washouts are reported on the Far Rockaway branch of the Long Island railroad at Arverne, at Penny Bridge and Bushwick Junction on the main line and at Koweniaoven. near Flat lands.
 On the Brighton Beach line, along which trolley cars and elevated trains take thousands to the race track daily, a lwashout occurred close to the Pros pect park station. A huge powder and heavy fence fell on train bound for the beach and stampeded the passen- gers.
 Ten women in the car went into hys- a&rx%2 cd train by men who waded through water waist deep in the cut to go to their relief.
 Williamsburg was a bad sufferer from the tremendous rainfall. In the lower section of the Nineteenth ward the streets were flooded. residents were imprisoned in their homes, children could not reach their schools, and tha street cars were tied up for more than an hour.
 Washouts are reported along the line of the Midland Electric railroad, which runs through the interior of Staten Is- land. The road is badly flooded most of the way from Richmond to Staple ton.
 The shore line of the Staten Island Electric Railroad company was also badly handicapped at South Beach and Bullshead and Mariners Harbor, and l the commuters on this line experienced the same fate as those on the Midland line
 There were also bad washouts along the line of the AmbQy division of the Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad.
 Tons of earth caving in, followed by a rush of water, filled in a section of 1 the big sewer at Ninth avenue and l Sixty y-second street, Brooklyn, and bur led, it is supposed, Peter Tearo, one ot twenty Italian laborers who were working there. His fellow workmen barely escaped with their lives.
 The theory is that he was either kill ed by the falling masonry or sufocat ed to death by the earth. He was the only man who failed to respond to the roll call after the cave in, and his com rades are certain his body is at tha bot tom of the sewer.

TALKS To THE COMMISSION
Mitchell Gives the ArbitratorS His views
on the Situation Generally.

Philadelphia. Jan. 10. - President
Mitchell. before leaving for Indianapo-
lis To attend the national convention
of his organization, and subsequently
the national wage convention of the
soft coal operators and mine workers.
delivered Saturday what he believed
was his farewell address to the coal
strike commission. The Scranton Coal
company. which also operates the col
lieries of the Elk Hill Coal and Iron
company. closed it's case during the
session. and was followed by the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western Rail
way company. While the latter COM
pany was examining witness Mitchell
arose and stated that it was probable
that he would not he able to attend
any more of the sessions of the com
mission.
He expressed his satisfaction at the
way in which the inquiry was being
conducted and disclaimed any malice
toward the rOn-union men who had
testified before the commission. He
said these men were brought here I'M
der the preteXt of getting an advance
in wages. but nothing looking to that
end had come out: that these witnesses
had their bills paid and money sup
piled for enjoyment; that they were.
here for the same purpose for which
they had been put i'm the mines during
the strike-to destroy the efforts of
those who struck: that they had been
betrayed by those who brought them
here.
Referring 10 the coal shortage he
said his information was that lack of
cars prevented the men from doing
their best. Here Major Warren. of
Scranton. interrupted Mitchell to say
that he would ask mitchell to prove
this statement as his information was,
and he proposed to prove it. that the
men would rot load all the cars sup
