FOR OUR SCHOOLS GOOD.
Some Excellent Suggestions from supt'
NiasleY on Better Education.

Supt. Niesley Of the city schools at

the following excellent suggestions
for making our schools better. Every

them:

MADE NEW RULING.
Supreme Court Decision on JOINT In
functions.

The supreme court on Saturday
handed down decision in . whisky
prosecution case from Wyandotte
county which materially effects the,
procedure In the enforcement Of the
prOhibitory law. Prior to 1901 the
Hurrell law provided that in civil
action the attorney general, county
attorney or any citizen Of county
when o common nuisance under the
prohibitory law exists, might main
tain an action in the name Of the
state to abate and perpetually enjoin
the same. This clause was inserted
In the middle Of the section defining
public nuisances and fixing the pun
ishment therefor. In 1901 the legis-
lature, desiring to strengthen the pub
lie nuisance act, enacted new section
providing in addition to the nuisance
defined by the Hurrell law the search
and seizure" clause but the new law
fails to say anything about the civil
remedy by injunction and the SUI
preme court holds that the 1901 law
relating to nuisances repealed the en-
tire section OF the Hurrell law relating
to the same subject and with 1t re-
pealing the law providing for tho
civil remedy by injunction. Unless
the legislature shall come to the re-
lief Of the prosecuting officers the
only way q nuisance can be abated
hereafter will be by criminal process
and conviction BY a jury.

NAY TAKE HARRIS HOUSE.
Senator Burton on the Work Of
Recent Congress.

i From Washington dispatch
Senator Harris has given up the leas'
| he has held on his residence and 1t Il
not improbable that 1t will be takel
by Senator Burton.
Mr.. Burton has apartments at thu
Edward, fashionable apartment,
house in Fifteenth street, near the
Shoreham hotel. Senator Harris
residence is at Thirteenth and L
streets, one OF the most desirable
residence sections Of Washington.
It is a large house and well adapted
to entertaining. 1t is square from
Franklin park and in the same square
as the mansion built by the late John
Sherman, now occupied by Repre-
sentative Sibler Of Pennsylvania.
Senator and Mrs. Burton are anxious
to get q house where they can receiv
their friends with more freedom than
is possible in an apartment house.
They have the Harris house and sew.
eral others in view.
"What impressed ME most with re-
gard to the session which has just
come to q close" said Senator Burton,
"was the fact that the bills which had
the largest majorities behind them in
the senate all failed to passage. The
statehood bill had majority OF twelve
or thirteen; the Aldrich financial bill
had majority Of about twenty and
the Philippine tariff bill had an over
whelming majority. Still. am con-
WINGED that cloture in the senate
would be most unfortunate thing.
"1t would be better for twenty
fneritorious bills to fail than that one
really pernicious measure should
pass. The bills which failed this
session certainly will be passed in the
next. The senate is the only body
where full discussion is obtained.
Through it the press and the country
are made familiar with the proposed
legislation, and when public senti-
ment is behind q measure it is finally
forced through"

Their houses are built that good
ventilation, sunshine, drainage and

these and every condition and appli-

MADE A MISTAKE.

Irving Turner, of Broadway, had
mite a scare Wednesday. Mrs. Turn
er with her baby and maid. were
down on the borough dock and when
the boat came in from Boynton, Mrs.
Turner thought sshe would take the
child for a sail Finding that she
could take the baby carriage on board,
she did SO, instead of sending it back
with the maid as hrst intended, then
on looking back she thought the maid
looked so lonesome that she called
her to come with her. The maid said
something about Mr.. Turner not
knowing about their all going, so see
ing q Polander, who was customer
at their store, on the dock, Mrs. Turn
er called to him and asked him to go
to the store and tell Mr.. Turner they
were at the dock and were going to
take the baby for a sail, etc.
The Polander went off in a hurry.
rushed inta Mr.. Turner's store and
told him Ms wife had sent for doc
tor, for the baby. 1t was sick and he
ended with "You have only three,
four minutes to catch the boat. F"
Mr.. Turner spoke to a man about
going to the dock and then, instead of
waiting, he closed his store and start
ed off in hurry. Ee said he was
awfully frightened and was very glad
to find some young men on the dock,
who, knowing the circumstances, ex-
planned the mistake of the Polander,
and relieved his anxiety, for the boat
had left with his little family aboard.

KILLED LION WITH his TEETH.
Wyoming Mans Remarkable En-
counter with n CatamOunt and
His Final Victory.

If Arson Sercoff, of TORY Creek can.
yon, Wyo., is to be believed, he was
lately the hero of yarn whichever a
man like Selous cannot discount, says
the New Nork Post. He was prospect
ing, and ran across the den of noun
tain lion. He went in to see if there
were any whelps, and while in the
cave the mother returned and attacked,
him from behind. The catamount mis-
calculated its first leap and overshot
the mark, allowing Sercoff to turn
about and face it, Then came most
thrilling encounter. Sercoff managed
to get hold of the lions jaw so that it
could not bite, and with his other hand
he so twisted the forefeet of his ad-
versary that it could not use its claws
on him. The two fell to the ground,
and in the process of rolling over and
over Sercoff managed to get his body
between the lions hind legs so that they
could not do much damage. Then he
began to tear the animals throat with
his teeth, and finally reached the Jug
ular vein. In the end he killed it, es-
Gaping with nothing worse than few
painful scratches. The skin measured
eight feet from tip to tip.

WOMEN IN RESTAURANTS.
They seldom order Meat for Lunch-

Rule.

"Have you ever noticed how wom-

of a Washington Post writer. There.
are three whose orders have not yet
been taken; now watch" And very
soon the waiter appeared. 1t was
luncheon hour, and all being women
who are employed it was natural to
suppose they would order something
warm and stimulating. Ones order.
was chocolate eclairs and milk, anoth-
er chicken salad and chocolate, and the
patron wondered why the sandwiches
were slighted.
"Why," said the proprietor, IF it
were not for the men we would never
sell a piece of meat-at this time of
the day particularly. Somehow wom-
en- rebel at the thought of a beefsteak,
preferring something dainty. Wheth-
er it proves good for digestion is an
other matter. A man will come in and
order a cooked luncheon and finish
with piece of pie. A woman may take
a sandwich and some sweet thing,
either cream or fancy cake, but never
pie. It's odd to watch them, and can
almost fill their order without taking
it."

CAUSE OF FLAT WHEELS.
Brakemen Put on the Brakes Too
Suddenly and Start the
Trouble,

tFlat Wheels" growled the old rail-
road brakemen, as the trolley car in
which he sat went humping along
at IL miles an hour, shaking the pas
sengers uncomfortably at every rev,
olution of the wheels, relates the
New York Times.
''What makes fat wheels?" asked
the man sitting next the old brake
man.
Darn FOOLS" said the brakeman.
"It's this way: II a man doesn't
know How to stop his car he makes
a fat wheel. On the steam roads
SONG brakemen flatten wheel every
time they put on the brakes. When
The wheel suddenly stops revolving
and the momentum of the train car
ries it on, the wheel slides%alcng the
track and fiat is started. Next
stop, perhaps, makes it worse, and
so the thing goes until the wheel is
no good. If a brakeman knows his
business he need never make a fiat
wheel unless he has to stop suddenly
to avoid an accident. If he keeps his
wheels turning slowly they don't
f1atten. Now, these fellows on the
trolleys take no care at all, and
every other car in some places has a
fat wheel"
