Why is a new house unhealthfulS
That is a question which has been
asked by many and answered by few.
And yet the reason is obvious. In the
construction of just one medium sized
house 1t is estimated that over 10000
gallons OF water is used. This water
does not evaporate SO quickly as IL
would in the air and sunlight. but lies
near the surface OF the earth and I'M
der the house and in the walls of the
cellar; hence the house is damp. and
damp houses foster illness. A house
that has been standing for a year or
so is much more beautiful than a new
one.-Minneapolis Journal.

Mrs. Margaret SChofieId, Long
A Teacher in the Pub
lie Schools.
SHE WAS LOVED BY ALL.
A GREATER PART OF HER LIFE
WAS SPENT IN SCHOOL WORK.
HER DEATH COMES AS A KEEN
SHOCK TO ALL.

Mrs. Margaret l.. Schof1eld, for thir-
ty-seven years a teacher in the pub
lie schools of this city and known to
nearly every boy and girl, as we'll as
to the parents of nearly all of them,
died late yesterday afternoon at her
home, 100 South Fourth street. Mrs.
SchOfield was victim of paralysis,
She was stricken in her right side
with this dread affliction last Friday
evening and only once from that time
up to the time of her death did she
regain consciousness. She enjoyed a
lucid period of few minutes only af-
ter having remained unconscious for
one hundred and fifteen hours. Dur
ing all this time it was impossible
for her to take nourishment.
Mrs Schofield had been for years
connected with the Finley school on
South B street. Hundreds of men and
women, now the parents of children
who until a few days ago We're pupils
of Mrs. SchOfield, learned their A B
C's from her and all of them held her
in the highest regard. In hundreds OF
homes in the south end. the death
of Mrs. Schofield will come with as
keen a shock as though the venerable
teacher had been a member of each
family.
Mrs. Schofield taught the first grade
pupils at Finley school and she was
regarded as ~ authority on matters
pertaining to children. For several
years she was assistant principal at
the Finley school. Two years ago
she asked to be relieved of this duty
owing to her failing health. Since
that time she had only instructed the
first grade pupils. Superintendent
T. A Mott and the members of the
school board held Mrs Schofield in the
highest regard because of her excep
tional ability as an instructor of small
children. Mrs. Schofield was born in
Pennsylvania near Pittsburg She
came to Richmond when just a child
On the death of her husband she was
appointed a teacher in the public
schools. The funeral will be private
and the services will be conducted by
the Rev E G. Howard. The burial
will be at Earlham cemetery. Friends
may call at the home Saturday after.

THE CITY PROF|TED
Rivalry Between Various Coal
Companies Saves Much
Money.
CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED.

The city is the gamer by the compe-
tition that was exhibited by local coal
dealers when bids for the annual sup
ply of coal for the city's consumption
were opened by the board of public
works today. The bids were far be-
low those offered last year and on the
plant the saving will be $3.50. Why
there was such decrease made is not
known to the members of the board,
with probably one exception. The de-
crease in the price secured this year
is from 81 to 6 cents per ton over the
price of last year.
The contract for supplying 5000 to
10000 tons for the municipal electric
light plant was awarded to H. c. Bull
lerdick and son at 81. - per ton. The
same firm was awarded the contract
for supplying 10 tons of Pocohontas
lump for use at the hose houses at
$3.50 per ton. The Richmond Coal
company was awarded the contracts
for supplying the crematory with
Hooking Valley mine run, 100 tons at
s. A per ton and sixty tons of the
same kind of coal for the use of the
street roller, at $50 per ton. The
first is a reduction of cents and the
second a reduction of 81 cents over
last years prices.
The other companies presenting bids
were Mather Bros. Coal company, the
Z. K Shera Coal Company, Charles S.
Farnham. A. Harsh company, Hack
man, klefoth & Company.
