 People who happen to get a glimpse at the interior of the White City just now see nearly one hundred workmen, many of them employed all day and part of the night, working with fever ish haste on the large number of new attractions. Yesterday .a considerable force of extra men started to "clean up," and soon the tons and tons of debris will gradually commence to dis appear and the "beautifulest" gem of summer resorts blossom forth in brighter and more attractive attire than ever.
 To say that Manager Speck is hust- ling these days Is putting it mildly. Avordupois doesn't count with him at all He's on the go from early morn to late at night, and is determined to have everything in readiness for the grand opening Saturday afternoon and even ing. This is a Hercuean task, but it will be accomplished for all of that

Ttld hv ike cards.

A young woman told tale of cruel desertion to the officers of an east side charitable institution in New York, and when her case had been disposed of she started to leave the room wailing, If I had only believed the cards!" She was asked to explain and said: "We were engaged in Bohemia and our parents were pleased with the match. It was all agreed what should re- ceiye, and we were happy. Then my father, to find out more about the young man, invited him to play cards with him three times, and when the third card evening was over he said No Only in cards man shows his true nature he said, and this man showed me enough to show me that he will not be good husband.' And then when the match was broken came to this country to my brother Then Max came. too, and we were married. But the cards were right, and my father knew" And dwelling on that point and sobbing hysterically she left the office.-New York Tribune.

Lack of Sea Room on the Lakes.

The wind often reaches a very high velocity on the lakes blowing at times sixty, seventy and on rare occasions eighty miles an hour, when the great fleet of lake craft is sure to be deplet- ed by disaster and watery graves add ed to the great marine cemetery. On such occasions the sea raised would hardly inconvenience an ocean going tug, but by reason of the short dis tance from shore to shore-"lack of sea room," the mariners term it-ves- sels are unable to hold a course in the open waters and are driven by the wind upon the treacherous beaches, there to be pounded into splinters. Danger turks everywhere in the shal- tower independently Erie-where vessels of any considerable draft are apt to pound bottom if caught in 6 storm and go to pieces like a shattered wineglass.-New York Post.

TEACHERS MAY NOT SIGN.
NEW APPOINTMENTS.
Agreement Not to Do So Un- til Board of Education
 Gives Answer.

The members of the New Haven Teachers league are signing an agree ment that they will not sign the certi- ficates of appointment for next year which will be sent out after the board of education meets for the first time next month until the board gives them definite answer to their request for increased pay. The appointments are made at the first meeting in June each year and when the appointments are sent out to be signed the salaries for the positions will be contained in them. Accordingly the teachers feel that if they sign these appointments within the specified time which is two weeks, and without any action by the board on their salary raise, they will be agree ing to the old salary rates for next year and will be bound to accept the old rate.
 The agreement is being circulated by the members of the executive commit- tee of the league and already most of the teachers in the league have signed the agreement.
 The teachers feel that the board will have had plenty of time to answer their request before the time for signing the appointments and that if they sign without an answer they will be at the mercy of the board for the coming year.
 Two more incidents Illustrating the working of the present salary system rome from the Strong school district The first tells of a teacher who con- tracted case of pink eye from one of her pupils and was out from school two weeks. During this time she was at tended by a specialist. In her absence ahe was paid twenty-five per cent. of ter salary.
 Another teacher began her teaching In September, 1906, in small town in Shts state. In February she was brought here at a salary of $45O, while Deachers beginning here get but $500 Tor their first year.

Neglected by the powers, witches ceased to be so notorious, but the be- lief continued to exist, and does exist now, In rural parts of Scotland and England, and in England and France, even in the towns, fortune tellers, whether they charge guinea or a shilling for their advice, are witches under the terms of the old statutes and flourish abundantly, but as they are not burned they are supposed by superficial observers to have been ex- terminated by school boards and cleo tric lighting The blacker sort of witch who "overlooks' and casts spells on man and beast may be found in many rural regions north and south One of them was brought before squire and justice of the peace of my acquaint- ance as q dangerous nuisance. He said to her solemnly. You know, Bet ty, the Bible says Thou shalt not suf- fer a witch to live in the parish. |" And she migrated, under certain condl- tlons of compensation, to another par ish.--Londen Post.
