Whilst Ouida wrote Under Two

either on the table she wrote at or on

clares that the electricity from it's fur

Health of Children Is Threatened by
"the Pernicious Thing" Says
superintendent J. A.
Foshay

1.-THE MONDAY lunch supplied to the
children from the wagons of venders
who visit the schools is a pernicious
thing and threatens the health of the
children. The practice should be dis
continued at once. We should ask the
council to pass an ordinance forbidding
these vendors to supply their viands to
the children"
This statement was the gist of a
report made to the board of education
yesterday by superintendent Foshay.
The board heartily agreed with the
opinion expressed by the superintend-
ent and steps will be taken to break up
the Objectionable practice.
1t is probable that concerted effort
will be made to remove all the lunch
wagons from the business streets.
Members of the board say the odors
from these moving restaurants fill the
streets in the evening to the exclusion
of perfumes more conducive to the
comfort of the olfactory nerves Of
pedestrians.
Complaints have been made to the
council from time to time by individ-
uals and civic societies, and the district
in which the wagons are allowed to
do business was somewhat restricted
several months ago.

LONDON, Feb. 25.--The st. Peters,
burg correspondent of the Telegraph
tonight says reports of the emperor's
attitude represent him as grimly de-
termined to carry on the war. This
really signifies nothing beyond the
present hour with a man of his char
acter or lack of character. 1t is said
he has been encouraged in this last
view by the provincial administrators
who are opposed to peace, fearing that
the troops on their return would REIN
force the proletariat. 1t Is even argued
that 1t is safer to let the Japanese kill
or capture them than to risk their pres
ence in Russia. The czar's latest atti-
tude is of course direct incitement to
fresh assassination and other forms of
violence.
In regard to peace prospects Europ-
can opinion, official and unofficial,
finds itself driven to the belief that
still another blow of some nature will
be necessary to force the purblind Rus
sian government to realize the des-
The most imminent danger is the rail-
road strike which will soon cut Man
churia off from all supplies, If 1t has
not already done so.
Irkutsk is the critical point at the
present moment. All the railroad men
there quit work and marched to the
residence of the governor Of Yenisei
province which they found surrounded
Ey troops. The governor eventually
received the deputation from the
strikers and promised a reply to their
demands, which included political
rights.
Advices from other points Indicate
that the railway movement is national.
The men at all the railway centers are
determined to paralyze the government
and this alone will soon suffice to COM
pei the authorities to sue for peace or
to sacrifice Gen. Kuropatkin's army.
