University Summer School.

The establishment last year of
the University of Virginia Sum
mer School meant much TO the ad-
vanced teachers in Virginia who
were working for professional inn
prOvement or for credit toward
some degree.
Prior to that time they were
compelled To go to Columbia. Cor
nell, Harvard, Chicago, or some
other School of the kind. at much
greater cost in tuition, travelling
and living expenses than at the
University of Virginia. while the
latter offered to them a course of
study equal to any of those named.
Indeed, some students who we're
at the University last year and
who had previously attended other
such summer schools, said that
their needs were more fully met
by the University Course.
The course this year will be en-
larged and modified somewhat in
order to meet every demand of the
High School requirements and the
Professional Course of Study, so
that these two classes of teachers
may be able to obtain definite class
room instruction in the subject
matter of every subject in the
above mentioned courses.
Credits will also be given in most
Of the regular University Courses
for the work done at the Summer
School.
The attendance last year was
very gratifying for the first year,
but the prospects are that the
number this year will far exceed
last years enrolment.
Teachers who desire to pursue
the Professional Course can take
six courses in the University
School in lieu of the three years
work outlined in the Professional
Course.
The School of Methods for Ele.
mentary teachers will be held in
connection with the University
School as usual.

Circuit Court.

The Case of Commonwealth vs..
Arthur Strange, colored, charged
with seduction, was continued to
the first day of the May term and
ordered given preference over other
pending cases.
The case of Commonwealth VS..

was tried before a jury composed
of Messrs. c. W. Gaunt, y. b.

years in the penitentiary. After
being sentenced he was remanded
to Jail, where he will remain until
one of the guards from the peni-
tentiary comes and takes him to
Richmond.
The case of Commonwealth VS..
Board of Supervisors, an appeal
from the decision of the Board in
regard to the purchase of rock
crushers for the Districts and pay
ment for same by the County, was
decided by Judge Harrison, and,
in a way, Is a victory to both sides,
Judge HarrisOn's order says that
the Court Is of opinion that the
Acts of 19O2-3-4, Chapter 166, es-
pecially section 3Of said act, intends
the several Districts to have the
benefit of the credit of the County
in making its purchase of a rock
cruSher, and to that end directs as
between the seller of the machine
and the District the cost price shall
be paid out of the County Levy,
but it also intends as between the
several Districts. the District pur-
chasing the crusher shall pay for
the same, and to that end the Board
shall add to the District tax a tax
sufficient to reimburse the County;
and this IS the legal import of sec
ton + of said act; this District tax
Is exclusive of the District tax
which under the General Road
Law the Board Is authorized to levy
for general road purposes. The
Court therefore considers the order
of the Board correct, so far as the
order undertakes to pay out of the
County Levy the cost of the Rock
Crusher for Chapel District, and
to that end said order is affirmed;
but Is further the duty of
the Board to levy 4 tax upon
Chapel district to pay for said
machine out of the next annual
levy. The cost of this appeal is
paid out of the County Levy"
Court convened again this morn
ing. and it Is expected that it will
| be in session probably until Friday,
taking up chancery business.

STREET TORN UP.
Drivers of Teams Have Hard Time
 on North Willow Street.

Owners of teams are very much displeased over the conditions that exist on North Willow and West Main streets, where double tracking and paving are being done. Why don't they close the streets while this work is going on or keep one side of them Open?" inquired a mer- chant of a reporter this morning. We have too much boy play in this town anyway. I travel a good deal and notice public improvements going on everywhere 1 go, but Wa terbury is the only place where q street that 10 all intents and pur- poses is open is practically impassa- ble. The trolley company and the contractors have rights, so have peo- pie who want to go over the streets with their teams. Respect every mans rights so far as you can, but for heavens sake don't give all to one or two and let the rest scurry around and take care of themselves. 4 local contractor has to get a per init 10 use a portion of a street for a little material when he is putting up a block, but others can tear up one side of the street and use the other side and portions of nearby streets for storage purposes without a per mir How do you explain this? Who has charge. of that work and tO whom shall l forward a communi- cation calling attention to this nui- sanCe?" He was informed that the paving is under the supervision of the bureau of engineering and that 1t would he quite proper to call upon air Cairns or he might have it out with the board of public works if he preferred to try conclusions with that body. The gentleman left stating he would bring the matter to the atten- ton of the board of public works.

Uncertainty

means that which cannot be relied upon. For instance, we are going to have state and national elections in a few months. Some ward "heelers' say Billy Bryan will be our next president, while other "curbstone spouters" say poor old plain Bill" Taft will occupy that white house chair; but it's UNCERTAIN, and, by the way, there are some economists who believe poor old "Bill' should get left because they claim the great and glorious United States will be compelled to purchase a chair large enough for him. Well, such is UN- CERTAINTY. Then, again, they tell us MT Lilley, who is looked on as the lily of our valley, will be our next governor. We heard one man say he'd have little use for our val lev if it was filled with such lilies, hence MT Lilley's UNCERTAINTY. That same man was asked did Billy" Thoms (our city's mayor) suit him, and he said not unless he'd veto that "Cinder park" $2O0,OO0 appropriation, hence MT Thoms's UNCERTAINTY. But there's no un- certainty at our store, because every purchase is guaranteed satisfactory or money back.

Hartford county has made the greatest gain in member ship, 455; gain in other counties have been as follows: Fairfield 51.

Included in the report was statement of the finances of the order showing total receipts of $11S,225.15, and expenditures of $107, ,00S.61. For charitable pur- poses S5,614.SS was spent. For sick and funeral benefits $59,95046. The order contributed nearly $2,000 for the earthquake sufferers in San Francisco.
 One of the features of the day was a spirited address by Rev Fa- ther Flannery of Hazardville, who referred to statements made about the Hibernians at the session of the c. T. A. U. last week and empha- sized the motives and beliefs of the order. His address was greeted with marked enthusiasm by the thousand people in the hall.

She said that there are AZ auxiliaries at present, with total membership of 4,949, gain for the year ending January l of about 400 members.

PARK APPROPRIATIONS.
S12.000 Was Amount Named This
 Year for This Purpose.

The appropriation for parks last year was slI.S50. and for public lands and buildings s7OO. This year the item for parks was made s12.O0O. and S7.00O for public lands and buildings IL is true. though. that last fall a special appropriation of S1.500 was made for parks and later a transfer of s3.500 was au- thorized But il appears that no money is available this season for special appropriations. consequently none can be made. and there will be very little if any at all. that can be transferred from one account to an other. The street department could stand a special appropriation of s51.- 900 and the water department could use a like amount. but both will have to get along with their regular ap- pTOpTiations There is need of more money all around, but things will have to wait until the aldermen pro- vide 1t unless there is some way of getting hold of a slice of the bond issue
