CosmopoUtan New York

Some idea of the cosmopolitan char
acter of the great East Side Of New
York may be had by the statement
that eighty-two dialects are spoken
there. In this district there are $4,000
families, the average size of which is
five members, with two lboarders in
addition-for there are always at
least two boarders in every family on
the East Side. The most crowded
spot in any city in the world is in
the northern part of this district, in
the blocks bounded by Broome and
Stanton and Eldridge and Suffolk
streets. Under the roof of one house
on Rivington street there are thir-
ty-seven families, with $50 children,
eighty of whom are babies.

The World Is Growing Old.
The world Is growing old

The world Is growing old
1t used to have the time
To laugh al stories toll
Or marvel ove rhyme:
It used to listen, glad
When some n had a song;
1t sorrowed with the sad.
And sought to right the wrong.
The world is growing old
1t used to run. and play.
And only seek the gold
That made a merry day;
It once had time to spare
To lie beneath the trees
And hear the music there
The songs of birds and bees.
The time 1t used to lose!
A rose in bloom could hold
Those who to-day must choose
The petals brown and old.
A leafy stretch OF trees
Was counted something good
A. prospect made to please
1t eve understood.
It did not know the hush
When day dreams come at moo
Should be a time of rush
And clamor: nor that soon
The clinking gold of trade
Would be best to behold.
One time 1t sang and played.-
The world is growing old
The world is growing old
1t has no time t. sing;
Its stories all are told:
No more the rafters ring
With shouts when some blithe song
Or carol gay is sung.
The world has lived too long
But one time 1t was young.

Renewed After a Season OF Peace-
Amidon and Ballou Blamed.
The row over the leading school off,
ctals has broken out again at Fargo.
Last Spring it was decided to make a
change in the Office Of superintendent
md principal of the high school. Supt.
Smith was let out to make room Tor
Mr., Logic, and Miss Kent. who had
been principal Of the high school for
many years, was dismissed to give a
place to Prof. Lind.
Logic. as superintendent. naturally
wanted something to say regarding the
high school as we'll as the others.
Principal Lind wanted to run 1t alone
or not run it, and the friction got TOO
warm for Lind. He had other troubles
In a failure to maintain control to the
satisfaction of all.
He was forced to resign and a
returned to Chicago. The board IS
temporarily in a quandary as to his
successor. There is q demand for the
return of Miss Kent, but it is extreme
" improbable that she will again be
secured, as the present board lis an
tagonistic.
Much bitterness is manifested
against Judge Amidon and Rev. Will
fam Baliou formerly of the Unitarian
church here. Neither is q member OF
the board, but both are credited with
controlling several of the members.
Both Logic and Lind are said to have
been their personal selections rather
than those of the board, and the gen
aral public seems disposed to roast
them for the apparent chaotic condi'
tons in Fargo school circles.
The fight for the past six months
has resulted in the parents, pupils n
general public taking widely divergent
views Of the situation, and the true
friends of the schools fear it will take
years to undo the injurious effects that
have resulted. Changes are being
made in the principalship OF one or
two of the other schools.

tie Whole Story On tie Pro-
posed Construction

Several days ago The Teller pub
lished an article from its Granreyille
correspondent relative to the railroad
situation and giving out the fact that
Northern Pacific men were in the held
purchasing right Of ways. The Camas
Prairie Chronicle In it, late issue gives
some interesting information with ref.
erence to the matter. The following 10
the article in question:
Commissioners Simon returned
Wednesday from Grangeville, the
county board having completed the
business Of this term and adjourned.
Yesterday Mr.. Simon informed us that
before leaving the county seat he was
informed that an agent Of the North
ern Pacific railway had been there for
several days and intended leaving i'm.
mediately to begin the purchase OF the
right of way for his company from
Culdesac to Grangeville. He win be
assisted in the work by Assistant SUR
veyor Spedden. Of Grangeville. and the
right of way to be purchased win BE-
over the old survey which runs through
this place. The agent stated at
0rangeville that II was the intention
Of the Northern Pacific to build from
Culdesac to Grangeville and also to
build a branch line from Lewiston to
the Twenty-one ranch near Lalka
Waha. He also stated that the o. r.
4 N. company would build from RI
paria to Lewiston and the lire would
be used by both companies. in con-
sideration Of which the o. r. & N.
company would also be granted the use
Of the prairie lines. This statement.
coming from very reliable parties in
Grangeville. and coming directly after
the visit Of the head ofllcials OF the
Northern Pacific to this section lends
color to the story that the railroads in
tended. doing considerable construction
work in the near future and again stirs
up 2 faint hope that the prairie may
soon BE- furnished transportation. True.
the railroads have been coming for 1
number Of years but then there are
few sections Of country where they
were not expected and wanted for
years before they did come and It II
not unreasonable to think that now
may be the time for them to do their
building here. One thing ID certain.
