mores learnt last Friday after
noon that cubebs are not the
best thing. for a boys health,
especially if they are smoked
near the school grounds.
The Basket Ball girls" al
though they have no use for
boys, cay that it's nice to have
a boy around when the ball
gets stuck on top of the basket,
beyond the reach of yearning
hands. What would the world
be without boys?
The practice game last Fri
day against the Science School
foot ball team showed that our
boys have received some very
good coaching from Mr.. Wig
ger, and that they have bene-
flied by it.
The pupils all seemed to be
of the mind that no school
should be held the last few
days, on account of the heat,
but the teachers views did not
seem to agree with those of the
pupils.
About one. half of our boys,
and some of our girls We're
spectators at the Fargo High
VS. Indians game on the island
last Saturday. and say that
Fargo has some team alright.
Mr.. Kaiser has been laid up
with bad hand the last few
weeks, and we all hope for a
speedy recovery.

What is that?" he was asked. II

Rev. DR.. Geo. H. Ward Resigns

There has been rumor on the street
for the past three weeks that Rev. G. H.
Ward, S. T. B., for nearly rs years rec
tor of the Episcopal church here, had
rendered his resignation. The News
made an effort on the 9th inst. to see
DR.. Ward, but failing to see him asked
one of the vestrymen of the church
concerning the report. He said it was
a mistake.
Last Saturday, the 18th inst, however,
the News man met DR.. Ward, to whom
he repeated the report and asked con-
corning it. DR.. Ward said in reply:
Eyes, it is true. When | returned
from the north last fall, though my
health was some better, felt that there
was nothing permanent in the improve
ment; that | would have to go away
again, and that my absence for SO long
would be an injustice 10 the church.

time to supply work over the diocese as
my strength permits. have my home

always liked Crescent City and its peo-
pie, and because of this liking | once
refused flattering offer of parish at
Key West. If should remain here I'M
til November next, l would have a rec
ord of rs years as rector of this church,
out will leave some two months before
that anniversary"
Rev. DR.. Ward assumed the paStorate
of this parish in November 1885, and is
well-known to the people of all denom-
nations, and by many of us is regarded
as the pastor of the town." a title he
has earned by his long and faithful SER
vice. He has married our young people
and stood at the bier of our dead with
words of consolation and hope, and his
passing from the active work of the
ministry will be learned with regret
