Copenhagen, Dec. 22.-The North

The records and observations, 1t

scientific standpoint than was his

Walter Lonsdale, Cooks private sec
Hotary, who brought the data to Copen-

nffort to have It withhold judgment

in this city believe the fire was

JONES BY l2O.
Heavy Vote Polled, Jones Winning
by 120-Citizens Ticket Victo-
rious Clear Down the Line With
Exception of Two COuncilmen.

Election passed off rather
quietly, so far as noise was cou-
cerned, but there was quite a lot
of suppressed excitement all day
long. The opponents OF Mayor
Jones realized right after the
polls had opened, however, that
they we're up against a hard
fight, and fought without very
much hope. Rigs were run all
day by both sides, and a fairly
large vote was polled, something
like $40 votes being polled.
Jones, to tell the story in a short
way, was elected by a majority
of 12O, carrying every ward in,
the city-the first by 10, the
second by SO, the third by 81.
In the first ward Harvey won
over Carmichael by 81.
In the second ward Hartley
beat Gaba by Is.
In the third ward McAboy beat
Smith by 4.
The fight was a good natured
one all day long, and we did
not hear of any unpleasantness.,
The Jones adherents worked
hard for a vindication of their
candidate, and the decisive ma
jority of 120 was surely vindica-
tion enough.
The new council will be COM
posed of men who will be in
favor of a continuation of i'm
provement. Mr.. Hartley, the
new counciluac>from the second
ward, has had experience along
lines of city affairs, being once
in the council and once mayor.
Mr.. McAboy, the new council
man from the third ward, is a
young business man of progress
i've ideas, and will prove a valu-
able help to Mayor Jones.
Messrs. Harvey, Connor, Nichols
and Youse have had to do with
municipal affairs and improve
ments and we predict that city
improvements will 60 right

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
VISITING KENT SCHOOLS
How Public Schools in Kent
LOunty Appear 10 the County
School Commissioners.

Sour Apple Tree, No. 9S, is in Milford
Neck, and it has the distinction of being
the best appearing school in the county.
The building is of good size and well
painted. 1t has a front porch, muslin
curtains at the windows fine furniture,
excellent blackboards, a pump OF good
water, a new flag and pole, and the
closets were as clean as any at the homes
of the good citizens of the district. The
floor was as clean as the home Of any
Wellkept housewife should be, and the
credit for this is due to the children
themselves and the home training they
have received, as well as to their teacher,
Miss Housman, Of Milford. It is pleas
ure to inspect schools like Sour Apple
Tree in Milford Neck.
Piney Grove, No. A, is also in Milford
Neck, but this school building is old and
in need of repairs. 1t has good service
able furniture, blackboard, pump and
wood house Tie closets were very
clean, but the floors had rotted out and
gone. There will be general repairs
made to this school building during the
summer; as the inspecting commissioners
we're informed They should be done at
once.
Tub Mill School No 10, has had some
repairs made to it since the last inspec-
tion, in the share of a new vestibule, but
is far from what it should be yet. The
furniture is satisfactory, as is the wood
houses and pump, and the flag pole, but
it is the lack of paint, backDoards and
general repairs that spoil the effect OF the
whole matter. The interior Of this school
building is but little changed from what
it was in 1864 when one ot the inspec
tors attended it The interior is not at
tractive to the visitor or children. The
district can well afford to have real
modern school room
Church Hill is just west from Milford,
is No. 40. The school is attractiyely
painted, clean and well kept. On the
wall are six frames containing pictures Of
every president Of the United States but
there are no maps for use. The teacher
bought the pictures, and it is tie duty Of
the school commissioners to buy the
maps-see the point. The repairs need
ed consist of six broken window panes
and the top Of the chimney, and a rope
for the flag pole.

building since the County School Com
mission condemned their old building |
last season. 1t will be occupied at the .
beginning of the school year in Septem-
Der next. It cost them about 1900.
Williamsville, No. Al, is another
school where a marked improvement in
the sanitary conditions is noted. The
floors were clean, the obscene markings
had been removed and the general con-
ditions were up to the standard; but the
buildings needs painting inside and out.
Miss Belle Moore has aroused an interest
with the children to keep the school prop
,rty in better condition than it was be.
fore she came, aud she is doing good
work there.
Williamsville, colored, No. l64, needs
at least seats for twelve more children, it
needs pump, it needs woodhouse, it
aaeds flag and pole, it needs new steps
and new weatherboarding in places.

letter from John j. Scott, an attorney
of Boston, asking for information CON

attorney wishes to know whether Mr..
Curtis is dead, and whether he left
any children. His letter is as follows:

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

1t was once thought that a
medicine was all the more bene-
ficial-fo having a nasty taste and
smell. We now know that such
an idea is perfect nonsense.
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the sem
ses than why food should do so.
Therefore, one of the greatest
chemical victories of the past
few years is what we may call
the redemption of cod liver oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in its natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take plain cod liver oil, and the
emulsions are as bad, no matter
what may be alleged to the con-
trary. Now it is ore of natures
laws that medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as a medi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from lit. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought,
and we have the valuable part of
the oil, without the other. This
effective modern remedy is pala-

the curative properties of pure

forks for Hawaiians so that they should
stop eating poi with their fingers. 1t
is being commented on also that the
members had to wait for free show
before they knew what pictures Mr..
Bonine was taking. The whole affair,
in fact, was along Sthe lines of the
periodical protests by Hibernian So
cieties against the stage Irishmen; by
Teutonic- societies against the popular
presentation of Dutch characters, and
by other peoples against other things
neither conceived nor presented in
malice.
The Hawaiian members of the House
were verv much in earnest in the mat
ter, however, and it is stated that the
appropriation for the Promotion Com
mittee is in danger and that there was
talk early yesterday of having the SEN
ate return the bill appropriating money
for the Hawaiian exhibit at the Seattle
Exposition in order that the indignant
House might jump on it and stamp it
to death.

House proceedings yesterday, proceed
