KEPT THE STREETS CLEAR
Police Make a Nav Departure I'm.
der Mayor Harrison.
LARGE CROWDS DISPERSED
Usual Saturday Gangs in Front OF
Saloons and other Places
Were Not Permitted.

Mayor Harrison inaugurated a new
departure, when he instructed
the day policemen to constantly pa
troll Queen street from the court house
to Gilbert's corner, for the purpose of
breaking up the gangs that have made
a practice of congreRating at certain
places on Saturday. and causing Pc
d~estriaDs, and especially ladies. great
inconvenience and annoyance.
This practice has obtained probably
ever since the town was founded, and
has remained SO much of a time-hon.
ored institution that it was accepted
as a matter of course, and on Satur.
days those who have handed it do Sn
from generation to generation would
block the sidewalks, drive both women
and men into the streets and make a
general nuisance of themselves.
Officers Hollis, Riddle and Monegan
took the matter in hand this morning,
and as a result of their efforts there
was the most orderly Saturday the
town has experienced for a long time.
A number of horses that had been tied
to awning posts along the streets, and
which impeded traffic more or less,
were removed by the officers to the
side streets. A number of those who
were inclined to assemble in front of
saloons and other places Of business
were informed of the new departure,
and gracefully withdrew to less con-
spicuous places.
The new mayor remarked that he
didn't wish to appear arbitrary in any
matter. hut that he believed better
order could be secured by a judicious
use of the arm of the law, aud that
he would make the experiment with
the hope that it could be made a per-
manent affair without offense TO any
one. The order worked well, and
many persons noticed the decided I'M
provement without knowing how it
was brought about.

DID NOT NAME TEACHERS
School Board Postponed Thi
Matter Until Wednesday
TALK ABOUT A NEW POSITION
Some Favor Creating Position OF
Principal at High School -1nsti-
tute Annual is Issued.

The board OF education held a meet.
ing at the second ward school build
ing Monday evening for the purpose
of selecting the superintendent and
teachers for the CITY schools, but
after a discussion in regard to the APP
pointment of a principal at the High
school, the matter went over until
Wednesday evening. when a special
meeting will be held and the teachers
selected.
Mr.. w. A. Dreamer, assistant to
Superintendent Brindle at the High
school. applied for the position Of
principal. This gave rise to a lengthy
discussion, one or two members of the
board contending that the creation of
the position of principal would result
in a conflict of authority between that
officer and the superintendent. Others
rather favored the idea, bat as the
two sides could not reach N annie
able conclusion it was deemed advis-
able to allow the whole matter to go
over to Wednesday.
Very few. if my. chances viii be
made in the personnel of the iustrut-
tors at the different schools. The
schools are all in good condition, and
the work has been kept up TO the
standard.
With the exception of paying the
expenses OF the commencement exer
cises. there was nothing accomplished

INSTITUTE ANNUAL.

The West Virginia institute annusi,
a volume of 110 pages, was issued Sal
urday from the Office of the state
SUPERINTENDENT Of schools. The pages
are handsomely illustrated and con
tain the the program for the teach
er's Institute and the rea1.uR circle
courss. In introducing the volume
Superintendent Miller says:
For some years a program for the
Teachers ms 'itute OF West Virginia
has been issued from this department
This publication has grown il size
and value until it has become a kind
of text book for our teachers. and a
manuel of general information for the
public. In some respects the issue for
this year. which is called the Institute
Annual, is different from those OF for
mer years. The program proper is
not as TenGthy, but little music is
given, and more space is devoted to
school architecture and other features
of our material aud educational up
building. 1t is hoped that the Annual
may be helpful to boards of education
that are planning for new buildings,
and that the Illustrations showing
what has been done in the way of con.
solidation of schools NAV appeal to
our people so strongly that provision
for Capitalization may be made by our
next legislature.

MUTE IN CONCLUSIONS
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
SURGEONS DECLARE LIQUOR is
THE CAUSE
Is Unable to Give Name or Write Any,
thing About Himself, Except to
Show Cards With Story of Efforts
to Get to San Diego

An old deaf mute, whose name is
said to be Foley, was picked up on
Alameda street yesterday afternoon
apparently very ILL., He groaned in
agony and lay in a convulsed heap on
the street walk.
When taken to the receiving hospital
the police surgeons asked, disgustedly,
"Why did you bring that here? He
ought to be put in the bull pen for a
drunk"
Nothing could be learned about the
unfortunate, as he could neither speak
nor write When note was written
him to write his name on a slip of pa
per, he could only make mark.
He is supposed to be an aged miner,
however, who became disabled in the
gold fields a year or more ago, and has
since been gaining a livelihood in Los
Angeles by begging. The police say
he has been distributing cards with a
tale of woe to sympathizers about try
ing to get money to go to San Diego,
where he has a daughter who will care
for him. His story seems to have been
sincere, for in his pocket was found a
ragged slip of paper directing him how
to get to San Diego.
Although the old man appeared to be
in horrible pain, the police surgeons
decided that he was only pretending to
save himself from the bull pen," and
nothing was done to alleviate his suf-
fering. He was sent to the county hos
pital late in the afternoon.

Dressed as a Man and
Makes Women Stare
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Miss May Eliz-
abeth Kelley, convent bred, is seeking
profession which will allow of her
wearing trousers.
The costume in which these pictures
were taken Is the dress in which she
arrays herself when she gets up in
the morning and in which she spends
all her indoor hours. She wears it
while going about the morning duties
of taking care of the pretty rooms in
which she and her sister live at 2458
Indiana avenue. In 1t she puts in her
daily hours of voice culture and prac-
tice at the piano. With towel deftly
thrown over her shoulders or her knees
she performs feats of hair dressing,
or manicuring, or even sewing, the
towel making the convenient lap, the
lack of which is one Of the depriva-
tions of masculine costume.
Through the medium Of pajamas she
does not have to forego her petted
fashion at night. BY adding divided
skirt to her day suit of corduroy and
spending several hours each week in
a riding academy, she has certain days
of the week when she does not have
to part with her coveted treasures.
There have even been at home even
ings in which callers have found one
of their hostesses in cowboy costume
She also appeared once in pretty white
flannel trousers and coat with her
own stock and shirt waist and becom-
ing white fedora while singing a num-
ber on the program of fashionable
Chicago church entertainment.
Are Trousers Less Pretty?
But there is the ninth hour when
Miss Kelley still wants to wear some
form of her beloved garb, but when,
because of the cruelty OF public opin-
ion, she can't.
You who have seen the bicycle girl as
she sprinted on the boulevards a few
years ago remember her in her leggins
and boomers, and the many times
when she dispensed with skirts alto
gether. GO back even a few short
weeks and remember the beach maid
ems with closely fitting black stockings
and "knickers" under the short skirts.
Go into the gymnasium and see the
same outlines, covering the form of the
athletic girl. Remember again, the
SHOW girl" who charms In light opera
and whose costume causes only nom
chalant interest.
The reputation and prices of the cos
tuners that design the pretty oordu-
roy outfit for $50 and the real cowboy
boots for $1S, and even the little girl in
the country, the specialist who made
the blue shirts that go with the cos
tune, vouch for their attractiveness.
But In spite OF the fact that they are
becoming, the maiden who essays to
wear them In public II Miss Kelleys
experiences are significant, Is not only
uncomfortable under the stares she re-
ceives. but unsafe from odious remarks.
Men Make Audible Remarks
1t was only last summer that Miss
Kelley went clear out to the foothills
Of the Dakotas with the hope that with
her new cowboy costume she might

Employers File Complaint Against
Teamster for Lacerating
Head of Mule

The proprietors of the California
Truck company yesterday morning filed
complaint against one of their teams
ters, Fred Strong, for alleged cruelty
to a mule he was driving.
Strong is said to have become in
censed at the beast because 1t did not
step lively enough. and beat 1t on the
head with leash until the mules head
was lacerated.
The California Truck company pro-
prietors say that Strong habitually
misuses the horses and mules given
him to drive, and quite frequently
brings them to the barn covered with
