Woman Truancy Officer

The suggestion made yesterday by
a we'll known resident of Astoria
that it might prove an excellent plan
for the board of education to retain
the services OF a woman truancy Off
Ger for the coming school year, Last
year 200 cases OF truancy were re-
ported to the chief of police, accord
ing to the records in the superinend-
ent Of schools Office, but apparently
the police did nothing with the boys
who were remaining away from
school in defiance of state law,
Considerable interest has been
aroused by the recent publication in
The Astorian OF the alarming number
Of children Of school age who do not
attend the city schools, and at the
recent meeting of the school board
the matter was discussed, Now it ap-
pears as if some Of the we'll known
ladies are preparing to take the mat
ter up, and will lend their influence
to back tip the board in any plan it
may decide upon to mitigate the
| evil,

An Incipient Strike

The government work at the
jetty is tied up for a few days, owing
to a disagreement that transpired
there yesterday between the locomo-
tive engineers on the work and the
officers in charge. Under the rules
prevailing on the work, about 220
daily workmen are entitled to half
holiday on Saturday afternoon, but
the engineers, being monthly employ
es, do not come within the range of
that order, though they insisted yes
terday that they did, and refused to
go to work unless they received time
and half, for the half day in ques-
ton. 1t was necessary to discharge
them, six in number, and the work
is simply brought to a standstill un-
til their places can be filled on the
engines. The engineers probably
believe in the justice of their claim,
and the officers in charge of the work,
could not grant the privilege, hence
the untoward condition that has
been invoked,

Army Changes Billeted--

Word has been received at the
posts at the mouth OF the river that

Fort Stevens, has been transferred to
Fort Hamilton, N. Y, and Captain
Phisterer, OF Fort Columbia, to Fort
Wadsworth, N. Y. Both officers are
waiting formal and official notice and

diately upon receipt Of same. Col
White, who is now at Portland, Me-,
advised the lieutenant OF the prospec-
tive change, which he saw in serv-
i've journal back East, and Captain
Phisterer also heard Of his probable
transfer through family friends. It's

Made Their Escape

Yesterday Chief Of Police Charles
Gammal received instructions by wire
from the Portland authorities to APP
prehend and hold two young larcen-
lists who were alleged to have de-
camped from the metropolis on the
State OF California. When the ship
arrived the chief and his officers met
her and put the gangway under sur
veillance, while two of the patrolmen
made an exhaustive search of the
vessel, but without avail The men
were registered as passengers, and
they either failed to take passage out
on her, or eluded the officers by hid
ing successfully during her stay in
this port, II on board they will be
captured at San Francisco.

Sea, Bay and River

Marine items are getting scarcer
than the proverbial hens teeth in this
port lately, and happily it is the only
dearth that is noticeable. Yesterday
afternoon the fine old State OF Call
fornia came down the river with ESQ
passengers on board, and took on two
more here, Mr.. and Mrs Charles
Johnson, the happy young bride and
groom who were married at the home
OF the groom's sister, Mrs. Archibald
Mclean, an hour before the ship
arrived They got a great send-oH
at the piers, and went away amid the
cheers and farewell shouts OF their
friends ashore and the passengers on
board. The steamer Nome City was
the only other craft that went to the
marine record here during the day,
and she left out for Coos Bay at )
o'clock.

Postomce Busy

The postoffice hereafter will be

tween the hours Of one and two in
the afternoon instead OF from 1890
to l:30 o'clock as heretofore. The
business at the postofice has SO great
ly increased, that at the end OF this
year it is thought at least one more
carrier will be engaged to deliver the
mail, and possibly several additional
ones, if the business continues to in
crease as it is at. the present time,
Postmaster Hahn is having a number
of new mail boxes distributed
throughout the city, some OF which
are replacing the old ones, but a
number Of them are being erected in

is thought they will not look upon
the proposition favorably, unless the
street can be extended through to
Fourteenth street in Shively's addi-
ton. If the street is extended as
Mr.. Kinney asks it will leave it
without an outlet while, on the other
hand, if extended to Fourteenth
street it will necessitate the condemn
ing of portion of the Wilkinson and
Company and S. Elmore's proper
ties. 1t is hoped that the city coun-
Gil will consent to have the street
cut through to Fourteenth street and
thus perfect a much needed conven-
lent thoroughfare.
