UNION OF MIDDLE AND NORTH
 CENTER DISTRICTS.
MIR coRBETT REPLIES TO MIR GEORGE.
4455O

Editor BEE: The discussion con. corning the adviSability of uniting Middle and North Center districts in last weeks BEE, from the pen of Rev MT George, gives no light to me upon the material objection to it's consum- nation, namely, the plan upon which it's unknown prOpOSerS mean to work. He says "a definite plan was proposed, and we'll known to the people of both districts and meets with general ap- proval." The writer has never heard of it; and careful enquiry since among the people in Middle district discloseS no one able to elucidate it. The sec- retary of the School Board says he doesn't know of any, and no plan has been officially or otherwise presented to the board, which must sanction and approve any plan to establish and To- cate 8 school, and grade same if the town vote was for affirmative action.
 Again I can find no friend of the pro- posed union although tried hard this week to probe to the bottom in the matter, and I am sorrowfully led to believe that Rev MT Georges good
 nature and sincerity of purpose have been imposed upon. The section of Middle and North Center in Newtown is a hot bed of politics, and holds a good many active politicians is doubtful if any other section of the state of equal area holds more. 1t is sad to think so but I fear Rev MT George consulted some of the m and I

most coal black faces. Over in the
corner, not wishing to sit down
among the crowd on the benches,
stood the old man, looking around
him with a sort o. proud wonder
on his face. He had been in that
crowded room, compelled to sleep
on the shelf-like couches, to eat the

served his country well In the con-
Eular service. No man IN Cadlz was
more respected than he. All over
the world he was sent and in all
places he did his duty well. In
Pekin, in far away China, to Athens,
to Glasgow. TO Annoy, A1giers and
elsewhere, he served his country.
Even before he entered the con
sular service he had served his coun-
try in the proud Spanish army, and
his record is that of a brave and
good soldier.
And now Don Emanuel is seventy
years Of age, and poor, and waiting
to 20 to his daughter in China, and
this hope may soon be blasted like
many others. Indeed, she may not
be in Pekin to greet him. should
perchance he succeed in reaching
there.

immigrants are detained until they

distinguished appearance. His hair
was white, as was the goatee which
he wore, and his figure and bearing
were such that even crowd in
Fifth avenue would have turned in
stinctively to look after him. On
one side of the room was a group
of unkempt Huns playing a game
which looked like combination of
backgammon, checkers and whist.
They were smoking and the odor
from their pipes did not tend to
