New Castle. March 8O.-An the mem
bers of the Board of Education were in
attendance last evening as SOME i'm
portant questions were to come up for
disposition. Professor Holloway. prin-
cipal of the schools, was also present.
Under the head of unfinished busi-
ness Professor Holloway made re-
quest for two sets OF apparatus to a'd
in teaching measures They can be
procured at a cost of Sl3 per set and
are of great advantage in teaching pu-
pills the relative sizes of the different
measures in common use. This mat
ter was brought up about a year ago,
but was objected to at that time. After
fun explanation OF the uses and adj
vantages which these appliances would
supply the board Unanimously recon-
mended their purchase.
Bill Held For Revision.
Considerable discussion was caused
by the report Of Mr.. Maloney regard
ing the installation Of the hot air ducts
recently added to the heating appa-
ratus in the school. While they were
Ian improvement and resulted in the
school building being warmer, II was
thought that the expense they incurred
should have been included in the con-
tract price and not additional, as bill
for s35 had been rendered for them.
1t was said that the condition of the
chimney was such that no fair test
could be made Of the heaters until ii
was repaired. IL was also stated that
the heater on the south side Of the
building gave better satisfaction than
the one on the north side, but Profess
sor Holloway said he could see no diff
ference in the heater on the north side
since the air ducts were put in, and
that the temperature during the fore
noon did not rise above 81 degrees. As
the bill for this work had been made
lout In a lum sum the board instruct
ed the committee on school property tc
send it back to the contractor and have
an itemized statemtnt submitted.
The visiting committee reported pro
gress.
J. 3. Montgomery Elected.
The election Of member OF the board
to succeed william ]. Ferris was taker
| up. At the recent election Professor
Knowles received the highest number
OF votes for this office. but he declined
to serve on the ground that he was in.
eligible by reason OF not being a resi-.
dent of New Castle.
j. b. Montgomery received the mex
highest number-of votes for the office
so the question arose as TO the lega
manner OF filing the vacancy. cit,
Solicitor Cooper was consulted, and 10
a letter which WAS read before In
board he stated that the board ha'
power to elect a man 10 fill the Office
After declaring a vacancy In the office
the board proceeded to elect a membe
to MI this vacancy until the next an
lnual election. Mr.. Frazer and MI
lNianlove were appointed tellers to re
ceive and count the ballots. When tn
ballots were counted the result was an
inounced as follows: J. B. Montgomery

Journey of Distinguished Visitors to Rose.
mont-Significance of David B. Hills
Infrequent Conferences at Esopus.

ESOPUS. n. Y. Aug. 9.-The expected
visit OF Mr.. and Mrs Daniel s Lamont
and Judge and Mrs. George Gray is the
principal event Of the day at Rosemont
Judge Parker received word this morn
ing that the party would arrive early
this afternoon
The extraordinary visit Of August Bel
mont, who came 70 Rosemont last night
at 10 O'Clock by train from New York
and remained until after midnight, was
arranged in order that the nominee
might learn Of the doings OF the execu-
tive committee meeting quickly and at
Tirst hand. Mr.. Belmont attended the
cOnclave at the Hoffman House yester-
day. then hurried up to Esopus. When
he had acquainted Judge Parker with
the nature Of the proceedings. he board
ed his yacht and sailed for Saratoga.
Tomorrow notification is expected 10
bring several prominent Democrats out
side the committee 10 Esopus, and IL is
not unlikely that David B. Hill will be
among the number. It appears that the
reason why Mr.. Hill has not made fire.
quent visits TO the home Of the nominee
lies in q delicacy Of feeling with which
his political enemies would be very
Ioath TO endow him. A close friend of
Judge Parker said today.
Il think you will find that Mr.. Hill
will make fewer visits to Esopus this
summer than any prominent Democrat
connected with either the State or
national campaign. He realizes that
the continual injection OF his person
ality into the Parker canvass in this
State would probably not be attended
with any benefit to the judge, and with
a delicacy Of feeling for the nominee
which has characterized his friendship
from the beginning, Mr.. Hill will refrain
from any act, however innocent, that
might be construed as thrusting him
SELF forward into the limelight Of the
situation.
The coming Of the notification com
mittee, however. Will furnish an oppor-
tunity for a call, and. in a semi-ofi-
cial capacity, Mr.. Hill may embrace the
chance OF speaking personally again
with Judge Parker"

HOOSIERS WANT
FAIRBANKS HOME

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. s.-The an
nouncement that arrangements have
been made to send Senator Fairbanks on
long speaking tour has brought out
the fact that the Republican leaders
have determined to protest against any
arrangement that will take the Senator
away from his home State for any length
OF time
The matter was discussed at a meeting
OF the State central committee last
week and II was decided that the selec-
tlon or Taggart as national chairman
makes II certain that the Democrats will
make a strong effort to carry Indiana
ana Ihat Fairbanks cannot do more fOr
as ais party anywhere than in his own
II was also pointed out at that meet
ing that the Gold Democrats are flock
ing back 10 the party, and this fact
makes Indiana State IN which every
influence should be used TO keep II In
the Republican column.
IL was said that no one knew exactly
10 what extent the Cold Democrats
helped the Republicans In the two Nc
kinley campaigns. bat II was certa ain
that they had voted with the ReDubIf
cans. and II must be expected that their
loss would be felt sensibly in this cam
psign.
