HEAR ADDRESS.

In spite Of the severe storm which
RACED throughout this section last
Saturday and Saturday night over
three hundred of the pupils, patrons
and friends of the schools were pres
ent at the opera house to hear the
addresses delivered by the speakers
Of the evening.
Superintendent Ford presided over
the meeting and introduced the
speakers of the evening who each
responded in short but forcible adj
dresses.
w. }. ,Newenham, president Of the
board OF education, said in part that
the proposed bond issue for the
schools could be paid off without in
creasing taxes above the rate OF
cents provided by law for ordinary
purposes. He demonstrated that.
even should an additional levy of
five cents be necessary, the taxes Of
the average citizen would not be in
creased more than from one dollar
and half to two dollars and a half
a year a small sum when compare
with the proper care of their chill
dren in school.
Rev. S. II. Thompson spoke feel
ingly of the obligation which rests
upon the citizens of this generation
20 provide for tAe education of those
who are to come after them, and
urged that such action should be
taken as would result in better
schools.
Prof c. l.. Bemis, principal OF
the Concord State Normal school, ad.

along educational lines
State superintendent Miller spoke
to the children. He told them to ssk
heir parents these questions: Are
we not as good children as the chill
dren of Fairmont, Warrington, Nor
santown, Huntington and other West
Virginia cities? If so, won't you go
to the polls on the 11th of Fenru-
airy and vote for us to have as good
school buildings?"
To those who were present the oc-
'asion was a very pleasant one.

TYPOTHETAE LOSES
COURT RULES PRESSMEN NEED
NOT LIVE Up TO EIGHT-HOUR
DAY AGREEMENT.

Cincinnati, Feb. 3.-Efforts OF
the United Typothetae Of America
to force the international Printing
Pressmen's and Assistants Union OF
North America to live up to an al
legged agreement whereby the eight
hour work day would not be insti-
tuted until after January /, 1909,
met with defeat Saturday.
United States Judge Thompson de-
cided that the union committee did
not have the power to bind the union
by the agreement it entered into
with the committee from the Ty-
pothetae. The Typothetae was grant
ed a temporary injunction some time
ago TO prevent the officers of the
Pressmen's Union from calling n
strike. They asked for a permanent
injunction asserting that the officers
Of the union had signed an agree
ment with the Typothetae for a nine
hour day and that an eight-hour
work day would not be instituted un-
ill after January /. 1909.
Judge Thompson, i'm mis- decision.
held that the agreement made by
the officers of the union PROVIDING
for nine-hour day does not bin4
the rank and file of the union TO
work nine hours. but only to work
nine hours if they work at all. and
he denied the petition for perma.
nent injunction.

THE POLICE COURT.
Two Husbands Had to Explain Their
 Methods to Judge Peasley.

4 difference of opinion between Regis Boileau and his wife as to which of them shall run the house has broken up the family and brought a climax to twenty-eight years of married life. Boileau is foreman over the machine and blacksmith shops at the trolley barn and has nine children living. The family lives on Fuller street. A month ago he was in court for failing to support his family and the case was nOlled with the understanding that he pay his wife s7 a week. He failed to comply with that order. preferring to buy whatever food was necessary for the house. Boileau said that a month ago he found he was no long CT master of the house and he re- fused to give his wife any more money. but left orders with the gro cer and meat dealer to give her what ever she would order and he would pay the bill Boileau said the whole trouble began with a woman who advised his wife to run the house The matter was continued for thirty days. Boileau was represented by AttOrney Kelley.
 Pasquale Vulo. represented by Att tOrney McEvoy. was charged with theft of two pounds of copper. worth 40 cents. He pleaded guilty and his counsel stated that VulO just saw the stick of copper on the floor as he was leaving the shops of the Water bury Brass Co and he picked it up and took it home to make a hammer for his boy. A fine of s7 and costs was imposed. vulO paid.
 The case of Frank Brusseau. charged with non-suppOrt of his wife and three children. vas a sad one ..ars Brusseau. between sobs. stated that her husband has not given her a cent the past month and he spends all his money in wastefulness. With what little work she does and a little help from her folks she manages to get along. Brusseau's defense was that he had no work. He vas com mftted to iail for thirty days.
 Harry Galway pleaded guilty 10 theft of a riding pants worth s2. the property of Andrew Cluney. from clothes line on Franklin street Gall way had the pants on in court. He vas committed to jail for thirty days also. Judge Peasley held court
