THE HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION.
r. CIipston Sturgis Of Boston Gives In
formation About School Buildings.

A public meeting was held in the
aldermen's room at City hall by the
Board of Education last evening for
the purpose of gaining some informa-
ton as to what would be the require
ments in securing larger and better
accommodations in the High school
building and also the probable cost of
the same.
At the invitation of the board r.
Clipston Sturgis. chairman of the Bos-
ton Schoohouse Commission, was
present for the purpose of giving his
views in the matter, and while as
might be expected a great deal of his
talk was of the nature of replies to
questions it was interesting.
In regard to the proposed changes
in the Cony High school building Mr..
Sturgis was of the opinion that it
would be better to allow the building
to remain as it is and erect another
and modern building behind it than to
try and incorporate the present build
ing into a new one, and that satisfac-
tory results would hardly be obtained
in building the old structure over.
Mr. Sturgis spoke at some length on
the types of school buildings in Massa-
chusetts and the standard followed in
their construction, and also in response
to questions gave not a small amount
of information regarding the courses
of study, the system of ventilation,
heating, etc. as we'll as on other sub
jects relating to schools.

GROWING MORE DANGEROUS.
Fiske Warren Discusses Conditions In
the Philippine Islands.

Boston, April 30.-Fiske Warren, one
of the leaders of the anti-imperialistic
movement of several years ago. re-
turned today from a third visit to the
Philippines and declared that the Fill
ipinos are more dangerous in their dis
content than when he went to the is
lands on two previous occasions.
The color line. he said, was being
more sharply drawn than at any time
since he first visited the islands. Ask
ed if the natives were competent to
accept independence, Mr.. Warren said:
Il am at present unwilling to give
a decided answer but consider it i'm
probable that the people will lapse
into their former condition of savage
ry if given the reins of government"
In speaking Of Japan, Mr.. Warren
said: "That country is not such a
tempting proposition to the Filipinos
AS the American public has been led
to suppose. The natives appear to be-
lieve that the United States has in
tentions leading to ultimate self-gov-
eminent and they seem to harbor dis
trust of the Japanese and look askance
at the possible intentions of Japan
concerning Corea."

As OTHERS THINK.
Everyone in Augusta Has Right t
His Own Opinion.

While everyone has a right to his
own opinion, yet it is wise to always
consider what others think and profit
by their experience.
Nothing makes life so miserable. or
interferes so widely with the useful
ness of the average American, as in
digestion, and it is we'll for us to give
fair consideration to what others think
about this remarkable affection.
Bowditch, Webster & Co., are posi-
tive that in Mi-o-na stomach tablets
they have an absolute cure for in
digestion and the many disagreeable
symptoms that follow this disease
such as distress after eating, coated
tongue, bad taste in the mouth. dizzi-
ness, fiatulence. nervousness and
debility.
Their action in selling Mi-o-na on
a guarantee to refund the money unless
it cures, shows plainly their belief in
the value of this remedy. They take al
the risk. and there will be no charge
whatever for Mi-o-na unless you are
satisfied that it has relieved you OF
Indigestion.
Mi-o-na wakens up the stomach
muscles and strengthens them so that
they take care of all the food you eat
in natural, healthy way. without
pain or distress after meals.
II costs but so cents a box, and does
more real good than dozen boxes OF
the ordinary digestive tablets: Ihs

Now that the open cars are on. no
longer will man be separated from his
solace. when business or pleasure
makes him a patron Of the trolley. For
on the open cars he can enjoy the
pleasures of a good cigar. A way to
be sure of a good cigar is to ask for
the famous 1904 ten cent cigar
manufactured by r. G. Sullivan OF
Manchester, N. H. From small be-
ginning the 1904 ten cent cigar has
risen to be one of the biggest sellers
in New England. The demand for TINS
cigar has grown by leaps and bounds
the increase in sales during the pas'
months alone being $4,000. Through
newsnper advertising ask the people
to buy your cigars and then be sure
to give them the very best possible
cigar full moneys worth every time
is the plan on which the success OF the
"7-20-4" ten cent cigar is built.

tuition which was promulgated July "A con-
tinue. A crowd OF over 10000 persons

the sultan had granted constitution to
his subjects, and declaring that is the Per-
sian constitution is not restored they will

cation OF the constitution. All the

cheered continuously. The evening papers
publish an imperial rescript pointing out
that owing to the previous condition of tho
country 1t was impossible to make a con-
sttution, but that the time had arrived to
grant 1t. The hope was expressed that the
people would cooperate with the Parlia-
ment and the sultan. The rescript con-
cludes with the imperial thanks for the
popular manifestation. During the demon
stration on Saturday the people compelled
the ministers OF state 10 swear Hdellty 10

stitution are: Personal liberty; no punish
ment without trial; religious toleration; a
free press; equality OF all Ottoman sub
jects; security of property; inviolability Of
a domole and abolition OF torture.
The council will consist Of two cham
