REMOVING THE REMAINS
Forefathers of Many of New YOrk's
 Prominent Business Men.

New York, Dec 7.-Crowds ol curious tenement dwellers press about the canvass screens behind which laborers are excavating the bodies in the old St Patrick's Ca thedral cemetery, situated in the block bounded by East Eleventh and Twelfth streets, First avenue and avenue A. The ground has been sold by the trustees of St Patrick's Ca thedral and the bodies will be re- moved to a large plot provided for the purpose in Calvary cemetery. Few interments have been made there since August, 1S4S, and for many years the place has been sur rounded by tenement structures. Now other buildings will be erected on the vacant plot and the historic burial ground will exist only in the memory of few of the oldest citi- zens.
 For twenty years or more the re- moval of the cemetery has been stubbornly opposed by many de- scendants of those whose bodies were buried there. An opposition organization was formed two years ago to fight the project, but all legal obstacles were finally disposed of and the sale of the property followed
 The old cemetery was opened in 1893. the first body being inferred on March 13 of that year. The ground was purchased for $37,050 and between 1883 and 1S4S the off, cial records show that 41,016 bod ies were buried. It was opened to relieve old St Patrick's cemetery in Mott street. which was opened on May 25. 1913, and closed on the opening of the new cemetery. The records show that 32,153 bodies were inferred in the old cemetery making a total of 73,169 in both cemeteries, between 1913 and 184S.
 Ancestors of many of New York s prominent citizens of to-day were buried in the old cemetery. but in many instances headstones have fal- len down or have been removed and difficulty will be experienced in To. eating many of the graves. Some where in the consecrated ground the workmen will find the crumbling bones of Lorenzo da Ponte, a cele- brated Italian dramatist, whose works have been known to the musi- cal and literary world for more than a century. Wherever Mozart's op- eras are sung, da Ponte's fame will ever be bright, for it was he who wrote the librettos for Don Giovan- nj, Figaro" and several others of the great composers masterpieces. Da Ponte died in Spring street. this city. on August IT. 1898, and was buried in an unmarked grave. Its location is now unknown and the dust of the famous Italian will be buried with the unclaimed bone. that are found elsewhere.
 Da Ponte was born in Venice. March 10, 1749, and came to Amer ica in 1895. In 1928 he was pro- lessor of Italian in Columbia, and was we'll known among the literary classes of two continents for his many plays. sonnets and translstions. He published several books relating

 Among other persons active in the affairs of New York more than half a century ago, and whose bodies were placed in the old cemetery, were Heinrich Smitts, native of Amsterdam, Holland, who died in 1S40; Don Cameron Delatoure, who died in 1S43; Don Francisco Roig Ror, Comtesse de Balb1 and Captain John McMahon, commander of the First company of the old Montgom- cry Guards, who was buried in 1S4S, a short time before the cemetery was closed.
 Many of the pioneers in New York's great business enterprises were buried there, and notable among these was Joseph Bonfanti, who conducted the first department store in New York or in America. He died on September 26, 1888.

Congress opens to-day fortunately With much less apprehension than

 By arousing public opinion to the
 grave political dangers arising from
 monopolistic and corporation abuses
 President Roosevelt did his country
 an 1nestimable service, the value of
 which will be infinitely more appre-
 clated in the future than at present
 The dose he administered was a hit- ter one, but the patient needed it. The period for agitation, however, is now over; MT Roosevelt has done the
 work for which he was best fitted and the work of crystalizing an awakened public opinion into intel ligent and equitable legislation re- garding corporations must soon he begun. It should be left to the iu- dicious action of congress. aided as far as practicable by the tactful MT Taft, who stands pledged to the Roosevelt policies of reform. The tariff, however, is sure to be the main issue of the coming session of con- gress; also of the special session which Mir Taft will very likely call In all probability the tariff discus sion will be complicated by the rap- idly growing government deficit, which if not checked will cause no little embarrassment; for either na
 tional expenses must be checked or further resources of revenue provid- ed, the later having suffered from business depression and the prohibit tion campaign. Last year the gov ernment reported a surplus of sS4.- 000,000;, a loss of SAP, 900, 900 in twelve months. The tariff battle will chiefly center on the steel sched- ule, especially as Mir Carnegie has said the steel duties are unnecessary and many American manufacturers wish to buy their raw materials in shape of steel in the cheapest mar ket. More or less hesitation is sure to accompany tariff legislationos3a to accompany tariff agitation, but the ierangement to business will be much less than on former occasions, because many of our industries are much less dependent upon a tariif han formerly and there are many industries that would be positively stimulated by gaining cheaper raw

No brighter or sounder step could be taken by the
citizens of Bellevue than this. Evidences of this
character the future moral and mental develop
ment of Idaho, nothing else could do. The Belle
vue News says:
One grade at time has been added until now we
have full high school course that will compare
favorably with any school in the state
AS competent teachers as can be obtained are hired
and they paid the top wages
One thing that has been source of trouble for the
past two years, the lack of room. This last
year the two high school teachers were compelled to
use one room with nothing to separate the classes
but curtain. This unfair to both teacher and
pupil, as neither could do justice to himself or the
other
This condition of affairs has been brought to
close and when school opens in September there will
be room for all.
The directors have architect at work on the
plans and will start the building as soon as possible
after school closes. The addition will probably be

To Build School Houses.

The vote the bond issue to raise $25 900 with
which to build the school buildings recently pre-
scribed by the school board of the Standpoint precinct
No. 1, was comparatively heavy. There was some
talk that there opposition to the bonds and that
accounted for the large vote po1ed The opposition
however, proved to be largely imaginative One
hundred and seventy-eght ballots were cast of which
1862 in favor of the bond issue Is were against
and one blank.
The Pend d Oreille News published at Standpoint,
the new seat of government of Bonner county, gives
the above account of the vote on a bond issue of
twenty-five thousand dollars for a new school build
ing.
AS usual in western towns and cities votes on
bonding for school buildings always result favorably
to the Improvement The west early established
fixed principle favorable to good educational facilities
and as a consequence the cities and country dis
tricts are universally provided with first class school
buildings and convenient apparatus
The attention of the traveller along the line of rail
road from the Mississippi to the Pacific coast is al
ways attracted to the splendid school buildings which
adorn each town city along the line of the rail
road. This is credtable attestaton to the intelli-
sence of the moving spirits of these new communities
that will return to them ten, twenty and hundred
old as legacy for old age
Schools are cheaper than jails and save taxpayers
