As Illustrating the care with
which preparations should be made
for night marches, Brigadier Gen
eral Sir Henry Rawlinson, speaking
at the Royal United Service insti-
tuition, said they should always con-
suit an almanac and not be "sold,'
as on one occasion in South Africa,
when the force was directed to
march at $50 p M, when the moon
rose. The army waited in vain for
the moon to rise, and some consid-
cradle delay and confusion occurred
when it was discovered that on that
particular night there was a total
eclipse.-London Mail.

The ring, of gold, was beautiful

"All you have to do said the

Columbus, o., May 10.-The last OF

Five minutes before the gavels fell
| in the senate and house of represen-

ed to 4 o'clock and the announcements
of sine die adjournment were follow

men singing the doXology.
Farewells were said and these was
rush for the evening trains.
Following the adjournment the

organized. The members of the
house appointed by Speaker Eagle

senate members Edward A. Hafner

Mr.. Little and Senator Hafner are
the only lawyers on the committee,
! Messrs. Braun, VanOver and Briggs
being business men, and Mr.. Hunt Il

resolution calling for the investiga'
ton. was elected chairman, and at the
suggestion of Mr.. Hafner it was de-

Mexico and will not return until June

which precludes an early beginning

FIRE HOUSE
Plans Not Fully Decided
Upon by Board Of
Public Safety
TO COST ABOUT S78, 600

After the members Of the board Of
public safety, Messrs. Dunwoodie, Hall,
Talbot and Fielding, gave the plans
for the erection of their proposed new
central fire station consideration for a
week it was decided at a meeting
held Saturday afternoon and evening
what sort of structure they desired
and upon motion of Member Talbot
the secretary was instructed to go
to Solicitor Blake and have the ne.
cessary communication drawn to be
presented to the council Monday even
ing asking the members of that body
to provide money in the sum of $751;
258 for the erection of the building.
The board considered the plans of
five different architects but did not de-
eide fully on giving the contract for
furnishing the plans to any one of
them. They were instructed by the
council some weeks ago to advertise
for plans and specifications for the
building and then report to the coun-
ell the amount of money that will
be required in their judgment. The
estimates of the different architects
varied from $62,50O to $1O5,OOO, but
they figured on one of them in be-
tween as a criterion to go by.
While the board will ask the coun-
Gil to issue bonds in the amount nam
ed, it may not require this full
amount to construct the building, for
hn
sharp among the different contractors
when it came to bidding for the con-
struction of the building. The pro-
posed building, If erected, will be
modern one, adapted to the use of
the fire and the police departments.
1t will be what is known as a five
runway fire house, the apparatus
room being 90x60 feet in the clear.
A large dOrmitory for the accommo-
dation Of the fire fighters is immedi-
ately above 1t and there is plenty
OF room pfovided~i in all of the struct-
ure to answer for years to come. The
FIRE chief and the patrol department
will have their wagons in rooms fac
ing in Court street. The Seventh
street end of the building win have
the police headquarters, patrol op-
orator headquarters, board of safety
rooms, AN emergency hospital, ETC.,
while the basement will be given up
to workshops, boiler room, etc. A
gymnasium has heen provided for and
the building of fire proof vault for
the storage Of dty records is also
found within tie building The board
proposes to have Canton materials an6
local labor used wherever 1t is pos
slble to do SO. 1t is thought the men,
bers Of the council will not hesitate
long in providing the funds that are
necessary.

other pupils and pay fine of 40
cents, or to suffer the humiliation OF
expulsion.
The guilty girls refused to apollo
gize or pay the fine, and consequently
were expelled. The school directors
sustained Professor Baker, and Mr.,
Dresser appealed to the courts. The
chief point of the defense of the 1T
tie poets was that their act in compos-
ing and publishing the poem was done
outside of school hours, The su-
preme court says that the school d.
rectors have power to punish acts
tending to destroy discipline and
bring the teachers into ridicule and
contempt, whether such acts are done
inside or outside of school hours.
