4 FINE SHOWING.

Prof. Fl. L. Whitfield, State Super
intendent Of Public Instruction, has
complied the statistical feature of his
biennial report to the legislature.
The figures as shown in the report are
OF an encouraging nature. They show
q large increase in the attendance up
on our public schools, also larger ap-
propriation and more regular at
tendance. The total enrollment OF
pupils, white and colored, for the
scholastic year 19o2-1903 is 4o3, 3,647.
OF this number the whites are, males
90, ,25s, females o., ,62s-total ls2, 1881;
the colored are, males 10l, ISL, females
100, ,e15-total 2l0, 7ee. These figures
show that there are about $4,000
more negroes in attendance than
whites. The increase in attendance
at the schools the past two years over
the preceding two-year period was 49,
159, Of which increase 1869 were
whites, and 2,24o colored: The per-
centage OF increase here is shown to
be largely in favor of the whites. The
total receipts Of the State are reported
to be %, ,272, ,167.54 and the disburse-
ments for the same period amounts to
81, ,868, ,544.48. The largest amounts
paid out for the year were to teachers,
who drew salaries aRgregating ST.
458, 1881. The total State distribu-
tion for the year was $3.50, 9O5. 20.
This is exclusive OF the poll taxes COL
lected, which are retained in the
counties. The poll taxes amounted
&31l, ,O07.16, making practically ST.

NEW YORK, Match 27.-Two hundred
Irishmen whose feelings, had been outraged
by the Performance Of, "McFadden's Row of
Flats at the Now Star t4heater rose in
their seats tonight and peltedl the perform
ers with rotten eggs. The audience OF over
1000 was thrown ihto al uproar and the
actors we're driven from the stage.
The affair was the elimination of a series
of attempts to bring the performance OF
this play to an end and to stop forever
the production Of such plays. The disturb
ing element was scattered through the or
chestra, balcony and galleries. Some took
the part Of the players by bowling their
dlsdain at the original disturbers. In the
uproar a policeman who vas trying to pre-
serve order discovered and stamped a burn
ing rag in one OF the aisles. E
Not for years has a play been rotten
egged in New York city. The assertion was
made tonight that the allied Irish societies
determined TO. rout the actors burlesquing
Irish character and arranged the Star the
alter disturbance. i
Major Edward T. McCrystal, formerly OF
the Sixty-hinth regiment, declared openly
and forcibly that New York Irishmen have
banded together to stop such performances.
