During the meeting it was developed
that. since July /, there has been no
superintendent OF schools and no sec
Tetary TO the board. and that there is
urgent necessity Of electing these two
officials. Under the present circum-
stances, the acquisitions and vouchers
FOR the schools cannot be signed, nOI
can they be signed until a secretary IS
regularly elected by the board. The
reason for this is that the old law ex-
pired June 80. and since then no secre-

After spending a week Of their honey

took UP their residence in an uptown
hotel. Three weeks later Zelaya had
not paid any of his board bill. and the

comfort. while the loss Of income FOR a
month would have enforced appeal TO
charity.
The investigation has been conducted
by S. L. Forman, and his report on it
covers almost 100 pages Of the current
bulletin, just published. It is an
illuminating analysis OF conditions OF
the poor, in thac il indicates those re-
spects wherein the poor are themselves
largely responsible for their own mis-
fortunes, and also those wherein
society has failed fairly to discharge
its obligation 10 these, its least fOrtu-
nate members.
To write the financial history OF i
household Is not easy. There must be
intelligence TO keep correct record OF
transactions; there must be honesty, SO
briefly, industry. and morality. There
is necessary a willingness to cooperate
with the investigator, which implies a
certain good will toward the world.

Urge Time to Deliberate.

ruled that 1t was in order 10 elect a
superintendent Of schools and said bal
lots should be castz
Again Mrs. Hill objected. saying this
was too hasty action in the first great
important step this -.-@rd is to take. -
She was sustained by Prof. = JerEaan,
who said:
I'VE ought to defer 1t and have tune
to think It over. It is a big step and
should be taken only after the fullest
consideration and the deepest care.
Admiral Baird agreed to the postpone
ment, only after saying he had made up
his mind on who ought to be supertn-
tendent. He also reminded the board
that until a superintendent is elected,
the schools OF the District Of Columbia
are left without an official head.
Mr.. Cox moved that che election OF a
superintendent be postponed for one

IRIS. Russell Sage is planning to
giue away the millions left her by
her husband to deserving persons
here and there who have been IN
fortunate in the struggle of life.
She refuses to make any gifts for
the endowment of educational and
religious institutions. because, in
her opinion, enough has been done
for them already By others and the
giving of large sums to them has
curtailed individual efforts in the
work they carry on.
These departures from the meth
DDS of Rockefeller and Carnegie
in giving are commendable.
Giving for the higher education
and the higher religion has been
0verdone. The thing is to get
closer to the realm of need. Senior
Alvarado and Mrs. Sage are setting
good examples for others to follow.
One of the best fields for the
philanthropists is the tearing down
OF rookeries in the larger cities
and replacing them with comfort

One of Hooks Jokes.

One of the NOSE humorous pre-
ticai jokes ever perpetrated is that
attributed to Theodore Hook, an
inveterate London punster. He
laid a wager with a brother wag
that he would make quiet house
in quiet section of the city, oc-
cupied by a quiet and unassuming
widow, the talk of the town.
Accordingly, he devoted several
days to writing letters in the name
of the unsuspecting woman to
professional men, prominent per-
sonages, tradesmen, and servants
out of employment, requesting them
to call at the house on a certain
day.
Early in the morning the crowds
began to gather, doctors and law
yers and dentists, teamsters with
coal and furniture, an undertaken
with hearse and coaches, jewelers.
and mechanics, advance agents
from wine merchants, brewers and
manufacturers, and finally the
Archbishop of Canterbury, cab
met minister, the Lord Chief JUS
tice, a governor of the Bank of
England, and the Lord Mayor.
The police had to be ordered out
in force to preserve order in the
street. Hook and his friend were
in the meantime enjoying the
turmoil from the window of a
furnished room opposite.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam-
ed you have a rumbiing sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it IS entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
