This was decided on at a meeting of the
Board of Trustees of the city schools yes
terday. 1t was a step forward for the
city schools. for the increase in salary
was based on experience.
The Board in this increase acted on the
idea Superintendent Moses has had in his
work. 1t is that the tyro, the beginners,
in the school work should begin at
smaller salary than the teacher with ex-
perience and gradually work up to
higher salary.
Besides this increase the Board provided
a new department in the city schools

of the schools in the fall, but this will
probably be about the fifteenth of Sep

am loath to believe that occasion for
such exertion of the Federal powers will
arise, being confident that any claim
to interfere with the national rights un-
der judicial authority of the State of
Virginia will be promptly disposed OF
and denied by the Cmancery court. For
this reason l shall defer answering that
question:
The Cabinet after considering this opin-
ion unanimously decided that the gov
ernments case was sound.
1t is intimated that information will
be conveyed to ,ne Virginia justice who
granted the injunction in this case that
he mas exceeded his proper functions, and
it is expected that he will withdraw from
what the Attorney General and the
President regard as anuntenable position,
thus avoiding any clas Richmond.
BY the President and members of the
Cabinet the action taken at the meeting
is regarded as of the highest Importance.
The question raised is new and almost
unique. Both the President and his ad-
visers gave it the most careful consider
alton,
1t sunderstood that the opinion of At
torney General Knox, as submitted orig
inally to the President and Cabinet, was
modified slightly before it was made pub
lic 1t was stated yesterday on excellent
authority that the Attorney General, IN
his opinion, upheld the right of the Secre-
tary of the Navy to use force if neces-
sary to carry into effect his orders. 1t
was regarded by the Cabinet, it IS said,
to be inexpedient to precipitate that ques-
ton at this time, as it was believed to be
entirely likely that way would be found
amicably to adjust the apparent differ
ences between the Virginia Court of Chan
Gerry and the authorities of the govern
ment
Practically the entire work of the Cab
met today was devoted to the consideration
of the question relating to the Galveston.

A HEALTHY COUPLE
An old Soldier of 9 Had some Coffee
Experience.

An old soldiers wife described her COT
fee experience as follows: my husband
and I have been accustomed to the use
OF tea and coffee for a very great many
wears and we were very fond OF the
coffee.
"Some time ago we received from a
dear friend in st. Louis Christmas boz
that included a package of Postum.

tastes lust like the crust water that was
one of the luxurles they allowed to IN
valids Oyears ago. Then | looked up
the directions, made the Postum as 1T
should be made and we both found 1t
delicious.
my husband is a broken-down soldier
and was a dyspeptic and suffered from
severe headaches but from the time we
commenced to drink Postum we have not
taken cup of tea or coffee. During the
hot weather we have eaten no meat. de-

This letter is in the handwriting OF
the old lady herself and there are many
people half her years who cannot write
half so good a letter. The case is one
of remarkable vitality and apparently the
only ills of their old age were those due
the coffee drinking. These disappeared
when Postum was usel in place of cot
fee.

THE BAND RE0RGANIZEs.

1t is now settled fact that Langdon
will have music in the air this summer
after all. The Langdon City Band is
again on its feet and open air concerts
and the presence of the band boys at
functions OF Il public nature can once
again be figured on as dead certainty
to give a proper enthusiasm to the gath
erings which go to make up the pleasant
side of life in our city.
This fact was settled in definite and
satisfactory manner last Friday evening
at IA meeting held by citizens of Lang
don in conjunction with the stockhold-
ers of the Langdon Driving q and Agri-
cultural Association. At the meeting
called at the Office of Judge Farrell au-
thority was given the band boys to pro-
cced and purchase additional instru-
ments and take steps toward the reor-
ganization of tho band. President L. S.
Champine of the driving association
held down the position Of chairman and
Cashier John Sheehan of the Mooney
State Bank officiated as secretary of the
meeting. A committee was named at the
close to look after the attractions of the
approaching race meeting on June %
and "a, and the same committee will
take charge of the soliciting of funds to
be raised for the purpose of putting the
band on its feet financially.
\ petition was also started IN circula-
tion asking the city council to make an
appropriation that will take care that
the band has the financial support it
deserves in the future. 1t is with
pleasure the DEMOCRAT reports that
steps taken which insures the proper
reorganization of the band, as in the
last few weeks this paper has devoted
considerable space to urging that some
thing been done toward averting the
turning of the Langdon band into the
hands OF receiver.

Topics OF Interest.

The evolution of the preacher from
the pulpit into the sphere of business
hustle is apparently not confined to
Hannah after all. From the columns of
neighboring exchange we learn that
Rev. H. D. Bortel, formerly pastor OF
the M. E. church at this place, is now
studying law at Valparaiso, Ind. A fine
sense of the eternal fitness of things
would hardly combine the resplendent
oratory of disciple of Blackstone, who
makes questionable hit in court, with
the disciple of the white-winged dove OF
peace, who each Sunday relates over
again the oft told story. We've heard
of lawyers who made good preachers SO
the reverse of the order ought to work
with equal chance of success and with
Others who have listened to his sermons
we hone Rev. Bortel will make good as
a lawyer.
Our sincere congratulations go to Il
former player with the Langdon band,
Prof. Mcmillan, who is stated to have
fallen heir to fortune of something over

and only for brief time that Mcmillan
was connected with the Langdon band
From here he went across to Walhalla,
was n leader of the band there and also
in several towns in that county. Two
wears ago he left the state and has been
heard from atinteryals in South Dakota
Many old friends here will be pleased to
hear of his good fortune.

LET THE TOWN GROW.

The effort that is being made by petit
TONERS to the city council to have Cedar
and Pine avenues opened up and extend
ed across the coulie into the Dorval ad-
dition to the city is likely to be definitely
acted upon at the regular meeting of the
council week from next Monday night.
Believing that the people were fully
aware of what is asked of the city the
DEMOCRAT has up to this time refrained
from taking any part through its columns
in the matter pro or con, but the item be-
low from last weeks Republican shows
that in some quarters a wrong interpre-
tation of what is wanted has gained
circulation:
The petition presented to the city
council to have certain streets opened

The foregoing facts, together with the

tion of what the residents of the portion
of the city interested have for some
time desired and needed. The undertake
ing is one that is no more than what is
demanded by public-spirited citizens in
undertaking the extensions and growth
OF the city essential to its present pro-
gress. The opening up of public tho
roughfare to the Catholic cemetary and
the extension of the streets above nam

many needed improvements that are
vital with the growth of the city.
