 For certain reasons, it is believed that this portion of the law is not be- ing strictly adhered to by parties here. The main reason of this suspicion is that the present enrolment of the school is 270, while the report of the census taken showed that there are 360 children of school age within the district Consequently there are nearly a hundred children unaccounted for. Ii is further stated by member of the school board that certain parties who are known to have violated this section of the school laws, have been notified of said violation and that un- less some action is taken on their part within a reasonable time, an officer of the law will see that the children controlled by these persons are sent to SC hool and the law be enforced.

BESIDE THE GATE OF DREAMS.

An idle youth one summer day
 Went wandering afield- Nor East nor west on any quest That eye or thought revealed. But on and on through bloom and shine And down by shady streams. Through lane and wood, until he stood Beside the Gate Of Dreams. What saw he there? Nay rather ask What saw he not and heard, Hath mind perceived? Hath heart re-
 ceived?
 Hath soul been deeply stirred By radiant things, by whisperings From better lands, 1t seems! All these he saw and heard in awe Beside the Gate of Dreams. What brought he back that summer
 day
 From wandering afield? Naught he can show or tell, l know Of things on earth revealed, But more than gold a million fold And all the world esteems He holds the day he strawed away Beside the Gate of Dreams. Clarence Ousley in Uncle Remus's
 Magazine for october.

NEW YORK ESTABLISHES
 A PRICE FOR VOTES
Freak Election District Where City
 Pays Fifty Dollars Apiece for Them.

New York, Oct. S.-(SDecial core spondence of The Republican.)-An of- ficial price of fifty dollars each has
 been established by the city as the highest figure which it will pay for
 votes at the coming municipal cleo tion. Father Knickerbocker has not
 established a corruption fund. how ever, for the purchase of votes. and even if he had. in these days of yellow dog funds running into millions, fifty
 dollars would not go far in the vote
 buying line. The fifty dollars apiece
 for votes which the city will pay rep
 resents the cost to the municipality of
 furnishing facilities for the casting of
 ballots in the freak election district in
 the city. Located in a most populous
 section, this whole district has just
 four voters, for with Harlem on one
 side and the great uptown hotel cen
 ter on the other, it is made up of
 part of Central park in which the only
 residents are the proprietor and three employees of a famous old tavern. To
 allow their ballots to be cast, however, the city will have to furnish a full set of election officials who must serve on the three registration days as well as election day itself, and voting booths, while each party, for the patronage which there is in 1t, will have watchers and spotters on hand to go through the pretense of seeing that there is no ballot box stuffing. For all this the city will have to pay at least s2OO and
 as just four votes can be cast the cost of each, even if the whole voting pop
 ulation turns out will be fifty dollars apiece. In past years the ballot has been known to be much larger in this eighth election district, known as the queerest in the city. if not the country,
 for it is remembered that in the busy
 season the tavern had seven employees.
 thus doubling the present vote. There
 is never any question as to the politics of this district as shown by its ballots,
 for as the proprietor of the tavern votes
 so do his employees.
 Five thousand revolvers and fire arms, filling thirty-two big packing cases, and valued at more than $25,-
 900, were tremendously dumped into the waters of the outer harbor this
 week, forming the chief act of New York Pistol Party" which may take its place in history with the celebrated party in Boston harpor century and a third ago in which tea instead of pistols took the prominent part. The pistols in question make up the ar senal seized by the police in the last year and quarter from citizens and emigrants who were addicted to the
 concealed weapon habit. Formerly these firearms were sold at auction
 just before the Fourth of July, but as this placed most of them in the hands

where trouble for them may result. The situation is this: in certain sa- looms, when the midnight hour ap- brooches and there is a full house or perchance a card game in progress. the doors of the saloon are closed. but the game Is not stopped nor is the selling of liquor discontinued for maybe an hour or two. In fact, the marshal has had instances reported to him where this was continued all night. He takes this method of advising that such action is a direct violation of the in tended purpose of the law and that urr- less the habit is curtailed to some ex- tent, he proposes to see that the law is enforced to the letter.

The passing Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel within the next few months will mark the disappearance of the last os the city's hotels possessing a distinc- lively political atmosphere. The Fifth Avenue has been the center of Repub- lican activity in New York practically ever since the party came into exist ence. and its Amen Corner is famous the country over. Until the last state campaign the party headquarters for the state was in the hotel and during
 the years when Thomas C. Platt was
 the party boss he resided there. Now
 Platt. boss no longer has moved away to an obscure side street. and only a few old-t time politicians are to be met wandering through the corridors of the f9mous building on Madison Sqquare. The Hoffman House once occupied a position in Democratic politics similar 1 to that of the Fifth Avenue in Repub- lican affairs, but now the old building
 has been replaced by new one very
 much as the old leaders of Democracy have been. About the only prominent | political figure at present closely fden- tified with any metropolitan hotel is Governor Hughes. who has just an-
 nounced that his legal residence is the big Hotel Astor. fronting on Broadway at Longacre Square. If the Hughes political star rises as far in the ascend
 ent as the Governors admirers expect. | it may be that the new Astor will fall heir to the political glories of the old | Fifth Avenue. It is more probable.
 however. that the size of the great new
 establishments like the Astor and the

of the same classes from which these
 trouble makers had been confiscated, a new law was passed last winter en- abling Police Commissioner Bingham
 to destroy them. It was decided that
 the safest thing to do would be to
 throw them into the sea, since while
 they would not endanger the fish they
 would be safe from recovery. This
 was accordingly done, the firearms
 being carried to the police boat on
 patrol wagons and then taken down
 the bay to their watery end by Com missioner Bingham himself more

 be difficult to find even in the largest museums. All varieties from auto matics and gold mounted pearl handled American revolvers to curious old fashioned pistols from Oriental coun- tries appeared in the lot Many taken in the Syrian quarter show strange Arabic workmanship and are strangely
 wrought Many would have brought high prices as curios, but the police believed that 1t was better to retire them permanently from circulation.
 Russell Sage, it is said, used never | to buy a newspaper, but to pick up Tn | the cars one which someone else had dropped Just how soon the public here may have to adopt this practice or a simple basis of economy Is an open question for someone has started the discussion as to how much longer New Workers will be able to get their news papers at present prices of one, two or three cents, a point which seems to ! be doubtful. Like all other purveyors of public service, the publishers of the daily papers have discovered that
 these are bad days for anyone selling a commodity whose retail price Is ab- | solutely fixed. Street car companies | have found that on account of present high prices of labor and supplies, the
 nickel which today transports pas- senger as far as 1t did ten years ago, or even farther, does not go nearly so far in the matter of paying operating
 costs and reasonable dividends upon
 the capital invested. Telephone people get no more from the individual sub
 scriber by the year or by the message
 now than formerly; indeed. in New York. as in many other places. there
 have been, within the last two or three years, conspicuous reductions in the price of telephone service. Meantime, it is a matter of general knowledge
 that many of the independent telephone
 companies, east and west, have been
 forced into bankruptcy by the in
 creased cost of operation--sometimes
 in spite of having raised their rates
 contrary to franchise promises - and
 that still others are facing the same fate unless conditions change. The
 daily papers are experiencing similar
 difficulties White paper is costing
 very much more than ever before and
 with all the other necessities of news paper publishing advancing in cost.
 publishers are beginning to realize
 that they belong in the same class with 1 other sellers of public service.

SAW Mill men talk LUMBER
TRADE TOPICS.
Semi-Annual Gathering of The Manu-
faCturerS' Association at Tacoma
Last Week. Railroad Problem the
Chief Subject of Discussion. Geo.
n. Emerson Talks.

"Railroads can solve the car shortage
problem with reference to the lumber
traffic in only two ways; they can raise
the rates as is proposed and prevent the
shipment of any except the very finest
grades of lumber, or they can let the
rates remain as thew are now and equip
their lines with better facilities for
handling traffic." stated George II. En-.
erscn, of the North Western Lumber
company, at the semi.annual session ol
the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
association at Tacoma. last Saturday.
Saturdays session was devoted to the
reading OF papers upon subjects OF gen.
eral interest to the lumber manufacture
ers and to the reports of officers of the
association. Practically every speaker
touched upon some phase of the pro.
posed advance in lumber rates, which
was the topic of Fridays session, at
which 100000 was subscribed to fight
the railroads plans. Mr.. Emerson, ol
Hoquiam, and W. A. Whitman, of Ia.
coma, presented two eides of this cues.
ton which appealed strongly to the lum.
ber manufacturers.
Both speakers declared that unless
railroad rates remain as they stand al
present, only the very highest grade and
most costly lumber can be shipped from
Western Washington to be sold in com.
petitive Eastern markets. "Under pres.
ent conditions" said Mr.. Whitman,
"Washington lumDermen are compelled
to waste logs which would find ready
sale in the East ii made into low grade
OF lumber. While we only grade our
product in four classes with respect to
quality, the lumber manufactured in the
Eastern states is sold in many grades.
For example, there are fourteen grades
OF white pine and seven grades of yellow
pine. The best white pine sells for $75
per 1000 feet, while the lowest grade,
little better than culs, brings S14.
"lf the advanced lumber rates are put
into effect, it will mean that the cost of
transportation on lumber shipped East
will be SO great that only the most costly
and very best grade of lumb can be
shipped out of the state and "a reasonable
profit realized. Washington millmen
have to burn up the kind of logs that in
the East are made into Gull lumber that
sells for $l4 per 900 feet"
