The fre-alarm bells Will strike 9.
three times at s O'Clock In the morn
ing when IL is decided not 10 have
any school on any given day for any
cause
Since the condemnation OF the VAL
ley School building and the Rich
mono Normal School building, the
Richmond Normal school pupils
are being instructed In the Bak-
er School Building and the Baker
pupils meet in the Moore School
building at 1915 p. NJ. and remain
until about 4 =. NJ, while the Moore
School children go earlier, S:15 and
are dismissed at - O'Clock. This
arrangement is seriously affecting the
efficiency of the school system. so
far as the colored pupils and teachers
are concerned
The Richmond School authorities
are endeavoring TO get an appropri-
alton from the City Council 10 erect
a new building for Leigh School.
(white) and TO take that building
for the Richmond Normal School and
to erect one new school at some 9TH
er point for the Valley School.
The trouble is that practically all
of the school money has been expend-
ed in the eXtravagant outlay for a
Richmond High School for the white
children, the amount doubling the o.
riginal estimates as TO the lot and the
indications now are that this struc-
ture Will cost In the neighborhood
OF over a half million dollars before
the structure is completed
II seems that the better way would
be 60 give the colored pupils the old
Richmond High School building,
place Valley School at Navy Hill and
give Navy Hill the Leigh School build
ing as proposed, or to build a new
school building on the site OF the
Richmond Normal and High School
building, give the pupils of the Rich
mond Normal School the old white
High School building and thus re-
store the equilibrium OF our public
school system without further delay.
II Is plainly evident that the coll
ored people are net receiving "a
square deal" In this matter and il is
about time that the colored people
organize and send a committee to the
Richmond City Council and the Rich
mond School Board TO look after the
interests OF their offspring. Some
people should get move" on them
selves.

Strange RumOrs.

The many friends Of a prominent

brother in New Jersey, where she is
still a resident.

disclosed the fact that a lady from
Richmond called on the former teach

nothing about her alleged troubles.

her excuse for being there that she

was In the same city just before her
arrival and stated 70 this lady that
the former teacher would be there TO
spend the winter.
Further investigations from anoth-

that the rumors came from relatives

facts are true. Whether a divorce
has been obtained In the case OF the
first wife or whether a legal mar
riage was ever solemnized are ques-
tions that still await an answer.
The report Is that he had been mar
ried before and that this first wife
is still living and that her appearance

A STRANGE SIGHT.

At one place on this remarkable
railroad the train formed a sriral
line around the mountain three times
before II reached the top. To better
explain II. each track was not more
than 100 feet above the other and
the train at each circuit had only got
ten that much higher up the noun
tain
A passenger could get of on the
lower track and let the train, run
ming at % miles per hour, leave him
and he could catch IL again at a
leisurely walk TO the next track above
after Il had made the circuit OF the
mountain. He could let Il leave him
again and catch it again on the track
Just above.

A LOVELY SCENE.

At times the curves were so sharp
that the passengers could see both
ends OF the train at the same time.
Away TO the East could be seen the
other train that had left the depot
ten minutes after our departure. Il
looked like toy train with its puff
ing engine and enthusiastic passen-
gers. AS we arose higher and high

plains of the West could be seen I'm
