There was a genuine case of misplaced
confidence played upon the school
children by the school directors last
Saturday. The children have been
counting the hours until the stove pipe
should need cleaning, thus insuring
them another delightful holiday. But,
alas on coming to school, Monday morn
ing, they found the board, headed by
that undoubted warrier, Frank Sherrieb,
and armed with l7-foot ladder, assist
ed by that renowned soldier, Thomas
Bishop, had stolen march on them and
on Saturday had cleaned the pipe and
fixed up'the stove, thereby shattering
all the bright anticipations of happy
youth. We can symp pathize with them,
as we also failed to receive any contri-
buttons from the school children this
week and feel that is all due to the un-
warranted FACTION of the school board.

MExICo's MONEY.
Gold Standard Recommended
 National Commission.

0old Standard Recommended by National Commission. Mexico. Jan. LA plan for reforming the currency has been prepared by the fifth subcommittee of the National Mon etary Commission. The Committee ad-
 vises that in order to obtain stability of fixity of international exchange, the gov-
 ernment should be advised by Monetary Commission to adopt a monetary system
 based on the gold standard. The Com mittee does not recommend the immedi-
 ate adoption of the gold standard, but rather creating a system very similar to that which the United States government
 has put into operation in the Philippines.
 The broad features of the plan are as follows.
 New dollars are to be coined and intro- duced into circulation without impairlng
 the practical maintenance of their parity with gold at a ratio that may be adopted. The government is to close the hints to the free coinage of silver dollars and re-
 importation of the present pesos to be prohibited
 It is recommended that the ratio of the new dollars to gold shall be estab' b'ished on the basis of the average gold price of the Mexican pesos in foreign markets du- ring the past ten years with an increase not exceeding 10 per cent. Gold coinage to be suspended until such time as the
 silver dollars shall have attained a parity with gold and when the circulation of gold coins will not in the opinion of the
 government impair the maintenance of | that parity.
 The new dollars for specified time are
 to be exchanged for pesos at par A re- | serve fund in either gold or silver is to
 be created and maintained either in the Republic or abroad. If the gold price of | fIxyAr 1w,
 that silver dollars shall come to possess
 A value equal or greater than ascribed ( to them by the legal ratio. additional steps will be taken to demonitize the sil- yer dollars and to introduce a gold stand l ard with free coinage and the use of the | yellow metal as the medium of circula- | ton.

Panama, Jan. 1.-The situation on this side of the isthmus is quiet and satis- factory to the naval authorities. Reports from Darien up to last night to not give any evidence of Colombian activity or the presence of Colombians in Panamanian territory. Darien miners who cames a fortnight ago have gone back to resume work.
 The thirty American marines and blue jackets who remain at Yaviza are patroll- ing the rivers in two armed launches. from Yaviza through the Darien region.

 Yaviza and the Real Santa Maria out posts have been materially reduced as they are simply observation Eoutposts
 which thirty men can look out for. Persons best informed concerning the military situation along the Darien from tier do not expect any Colombian aggres- sion for the present. They are of the opinion that the situation is likely to re- main as 1t is at present until the canal treaty is approved by the Congress of the United States or until General Reyes returns from Washington. This opinion prevails notwithstanding reports of con centration of Colombian troops at Baran- quilla, and the fact that Colombia is doubtless moving troops toward the Atra- to River. The disturbed internal condi. tions of Colombia are thought to give suf' ficient reason for these movements of Colombian troops, but the naval authri-
 ties are in no way remitting their activity Presidwent Zelaya of Nicaragua cabled | to the Junta this morning saying that Il gave him pleasure to recognize Panams | new years day.

 Miss Viola McDonald of Chicago says she was the last person to leave the theatre alive. Sue was a member of the chorus and rushed to the dressing room beneath the stage to dress; but after seizing some of her clothing found it im- possible to make her way up the stairs. which were blocked by flames and smoke. Turning around she ran back into the basement again and made her way to a coal hole underneath the sidewalk Crawl ing on her hands and knees to the hole, she managed to thrust out her arms to attract attention and was drawn out by a fireman.

Boston. Mass. Jan. Tt is learned that Boston begins 1904 with giant beef trust of $10.5O0OOo. The new trust is without a name. but its basis is this: North Packing and Provision Company, $5. .0OO0OO; John P. Squire & Company, B. .0o0, 900; Boston Packing and Provision Company, $500.0O0 The merger was ef- fected by an equal exchange of the stock after the insolvent Squire Company was secured by Swift & Company. This com pletes the big combination which the National Packing Company. of Chicago. has been working for with Swift & O., Morris & Co.,, and Armour & Co.,. behind It. The trust will control all the beef packing business in New England .

Jessie Bartlett Davis Talks of the
 Chicago Fire.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-Jesse Bartlett Davis, wife of Will J. Davis. part owner and manager of the 1roquois Theatre. Cfi- cago, in speaking of the terrible calamity, said:
 Tt is all the fault of the public that such things occur. In these swift days the public Is not satisfied with good. quiet shows. They must have lots of excite ment, color and light, with the result that every actor takes his life in his hands when he goes before the footlights. Tn that particular scene in which the awful catastrophe occurred there were AOO persons upon the stage. The wonder is that any of them escaped. T do not understand how the asbestos curtain failed to work. Mir. Davis drilled his men every day In the use of the ap- paratus, and in the dropping of the cur tain. Never before was there any hitch" Francis Wilson. with whom Miss Davis Is playing in "Erminie," said: "It is my opinion should not be a step in a theatre. Everything should be on a gradual incline. If theatre-goers could have no fear of unexpected steps, am satisfied the danger of stampede would be lessened."
