large central school at Scott after
the specili school tax will have

lief on the part Of such persons is
causing them 70 look 6sn the

therefore be it resolved. that the
school board emphatically denies
the allegation there exists on its
part an intention to close, except
for cause, any Of the primary
schools already established in the
parish. but declares on the con-
trary that il will be the aim Of the
school board to open additional
primary schools wherever and
whenever needed insofar IS the
school funds will permit. And
the board. rightly recognizing the
primary school 10 be the bedrock
foundation upon which rests the
J entire superstructure q or glo-

this occasion to pronounce itself
unalterably opposed to any policy
which might tend @ weaken this

Failing health suicide. NHMo,
This was the only message left by man
who registered on Monday night at the
Broadway Central Hotel as -. T.. Sharp,
San Francisco, and who was found dead
in his room there yesterday afternoon
He had swallowed quantity of carbolic
acid and his farewell message, which was
penciled upon scrap of paper that had
evidently been torn from the fyleaf of a
book, bore plainly the odor of the poison.
The police think. from this. that he wrote
it just after he had swallowed the acid.
The suicide had evidently taken pains
to conceal his identity. Not a letter was
found on him and about the only clue was
on some scraps of an envelope found in
the bureau. When these were pieced
together they bore an address that ap-
peared to be "E. f.. Tor {. E.) Chaplin. 336
Central street"
In his satchel there was an abundance
Of well made clothes and in his pockets
were found ten $40 bills.
