COUNTY SCHOOLS.
All But Four Now Supplied With
Teachers-ThOse to Soon Open.

With the exception of four. all
of the public schools in the county
have been supplied with teachers.
The four that have not as yet opened
have secured teachers and are ex-
pected to open within the next few
days. All the schools report larger
attendance than last year.
To a Herald reporter this morning
Superintendent of Public instruction
E. H. Goodrich stated that there is
not a scarcity of teachers, as has
been reported, but that he has had
more applicants for the position of
teachers than he could possibly
place. The greatest difficulty which
he experiences is securing competent
men to serve as trustees.

ceived a message that a robbery
was about to be carried out at 142
Second avenue. The speaker at
the other end of the wire was con-
nected with the Fifth Street police
station, where Lieutenant Barney
Keleher was at the desk.
"Hello!" said voice. "This is

outside. They are about to enter.
There!-the key in our lock has
just been pushed in by another
key on the outside. Send"
Who is this talking?" asked
Lieutenant Keleher.
"Dr. Eisenberg."
The voice was low and even.

the door? Is that the proper thing
to do?"

"Who fired the second shot?"
81 did, and he got away"
Meanwhile Lieutenant Keleher
had sent a squad of police to the
Second avenue house and two de-
tectives were on their way from
the central office. The scene of
what Lieutenant Keleher had
heard over the phone was in the
office of DR.. Siereani, on the Sec
ond floor at 142 Second Avenue.
DR.. Siereani, dentist, is sabroad
with his family and DR.. Eisneberg,
who was the man with whom Lieu.
tenant Keleher talked, has charge
of the office in his absence.
No trace of the intruder was
found when the police reached the
office. DR.. Eisenberg said he had
been awakened by a noise outside
the office door and did not, know
whether he had the right to shoot,
and so had telephoned to the po-
lice to find out. The screamwhich
Lieutenant Keleher had heard was
that of woman servant who was
in the house.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July g.
Unless the president goes walking

does and then are off duty until

ton to its uproariousness. If it was
raining cats and dogs, sheets and
mattresses, that was the day he
went for the hike out to Great
Falls and back.
If 1t was showing and blowing a
40 mile gale, that was the time he
preferred for a run out around the
naval observatory, over to Fort
Myer and through the icy waters
of any creeks he found in his way.
There might be bridge in sight,
but who cared? 1t was shorter to
wade and swim right through in

ed to be the presidents companions
that day followed him if they want

ments. their division chiefs and
the clerks. The appropriations
made by congress for the previous
year are either petering out--in
which case the bureau chief must
manage his office on a basis of
economy, almost penury-or else
there is SO much money left of the
old appropriation that the chief
hunts desperately for some way in
which to get rid of it, for all un-
expended amounts revert back into
the treasury, and the chief feels the
stigma keenly if he doesn't spend
all of his appropriation

CAPITOL HOUSEKEEPING ON
Elliot Woods, Custodian of BUILDING,
Working Overtime to Prepare
for Next Session.

Washington. Woods, super.
intendent of the capitol building, is
a busy man these days, for he is
housekeeping.
Congress was in session much long
er than in ordinary terms, and he
will have to work harder than usual
to get the big building in shape for
the next session. Many improvements
and repairs are to be made in the
big structure. One hundred and fif.
ty carpenters, painters, mechanics,
electricians, laborers, scrubWomen
and others are busy cleaning and re-
furnishing the many rooms and cor
ridors of the building.
Some idea of the work to be done
can be gained when it is known that
there are 430 rooms in the capitol
building to be revamped, $50 windows
ito be washed, $50 doors to be kept
properly swung, 145 fireplaces to be
oyerhauled, 105 toilets to be kept in
order, and many other things of like
import to be looked after.
Among the most important improve,
ments to be made this year is the
changing of the senate restaurant so
senators viii have more room and
privacy, the installation of two new
elevators on the senate side, near the
main entrance, and the restoring of
all the Brumidt paintings in the COM
mittee rooms and corridors.
