TRUANCY AT ASTORIA.
Only Half of Astoria's Children Are
In School.

There are only about 1900 pupils
in the Astoria public schools now, al
though 1t is estimated that many more
ought to be in attendance, says the
Morning Astorian.
The question Of the number OF
pupils in attendance raises an inter-
esting problem which the board of
education will probably have to con-
tend with next year far more vigor-
ously than ever before. The popula-
ton Of Astoria is just about $4,000;
by the usual method of computing
the number of children of school age
there should be at least 5000 pupils
between the ages of 4 and 90; or, con-
servatively, there should be approXi-
mately $500 children over years of
age enrolled in the schools. Hence
there were, apparently hardly more
than One-half in actual attendance.

where.

OF Oregon Railroad Man.
The Kansas City Star says of the
weed experiment to be made on the
o. r. & N. lines by General Superin-
tendent NJ ]. Buckley:
To control to some extent the dust
which troubles travellers, NJ. ]. Buck
ley, general superintendent of the Ore
gon Navigation railroad, purposes to
allow weeds to grow along the tracks.
1t is estimated that the company
spends $4,000 each year in cutting
weeds and, incidentally, keping soil
worked so that weeds catch the dust.
Wherever weeds have been allowed to
grow dust has never troubled, and this
fact has caused Mr.. Buckley to try
the experiment Of allowing weeds and
grass to cover the ties, especially the
soil at the ends Of the ties outside
the rails.

NEW YORK REPUBLICANISM.

The action of the New York repub-
lican convention in renominating Gov
ernor Charles Evans Hughes will meet
with the approval of every lover CT
good. clean government who has
watched the struggle of this fearless
executive against the combined forces
Of race-track corruption and corpora
ton greed. and Governor Hughes de-
serves the congratulation OF clean
men of every state, irrespective of pol
itics
The dark cloud on the denomination
cf Governor Hughes, however. lies in
the fact that he and his friends were
compelled to wrest the nomination
from an unwilling convention. The
nomination was given to Governor
Hughes, yes. But it did not come to
him as the spontaneous reward Of
duty we'll performed. 1t was given him
grudgingly, because the convention
which had the naming of the republic
can candidate for governor dared not
dc otherwise.
The forces which control the repub-
all ordinary matters, dictate it's poll
cies had slated Mr.. Hughes for defeat.
They had hoped to be able to name
some republican of national prominence
whose standing would be such as
would completely overshadow the main
object the ringsters had in view-tne
elimination of the most fearless and
honest governor New York has had
since Grover Cleveland was called to
the White House.
Their scheme was a good one and it
would have worked, had not President
Roosevelt, with his domineering ways
and clear insight, taken hand In the
game and told the convention that it
must nominate Mr.. Hughes. Not only
that, but he told Mr.. Elihu Root, Mr..
Ambassador David Jayne Hill and Mr..

"Comina Thro' the Rye"

Coming Thro' the Rye, a muslcal
comedy, will be played at the keylor
Grand theater tonight at SIS p. m. IL
was written by George V. Hobart, ana
the musical score was composed by A.
Baldwin Sloane The story tells about
the efforts of a rich widow of the Mrs.

Newport society and the scenes are laid
in and around her mansion at that re-
sort Failing in every other way 10
gain her object, she hits upon a plan
to invite a celebrated portrait painter
to be her guest, and his appearance IN
her mansion results in the visits of
all sorts of people to his temporary
studio. Mrs Kobb is elafed at the sue
cess of her scheme, and it serves the
purpose of bringing before the audience
in the theater the characters whose
funmaking and singing and dancing
make up the entertainment. The organ
ization presenting Coming Thro' the
Rye" comprises rs persons, made up of
comedians, singers, chorus and ballet.
The leading comedian, Mr.. Tom Wat

his clever performance in this piece.
Others in the company are Leona
Thurber, who plays Mrs. Kobb'; 1sa-
belle Lowe, who will appear as Bessie
Claude" Eveleen Dunmore, who is
Lolita, an artists model; Alec b.
Francis, who impersonates an English

the comedy supplied by Mr.. Hobart,
and the music contributed by Mr..
Sloane. monologues and popular songs
are introduced, many of which are
said to be given in this production for
the first time. Coming Thro' the Rye
is undoubtedly one of the distinctly
great musical comedy successes of the
day, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that it is an entertainment of the
most praiseworthy character.
