B & B POOL ROOMS
 OPEN WITH ECLAT

With plenty of music, issuing from a four-piece orchestra and large crowd to chase the balls around, the B. & B. pool rooms in the rear of the Board of Trade saloon on Willow street opened last Wednesday night.
 The place now occupied by Bourret & Bridges was recently completed, fol- lowing the dissolution of partnership of Bourret, Bridges x Umphrey. The old quarters in the big tent, adjoining the Boston clothing house, have been aban- doned. They have five tables in the new place, and the barbershop has moved with them. There will also be card tables for solo fends, all within earshot of the man in white who stands attentively behind the bar of the Board of Trade.

A Canadian lawyer tells this story
 A bailiff went out to levy on the contents of a house. The inventory began in the attic and ended in the ceRr. When the dining room was reached, the tally of furniture ran thus
 "One dining room table, oak
 "One set chairs, (oO, oak
 ''One sideboard, oak
 Two bottles whisky, full"
 Then the word full" was strick- ell out and replaced by "empty,' and tue inventory went on in hand that struggled and lurched diagonally across the page until it closed with
 "One revolving doormat."

A Lighthouse For MuShers

In remembrance of a practice that was instituted in the tundra regions of Nome and Candle, where they hung a high light in some portions of those cities for the guidance of storm-tossed mushers, it has been suggested that it would be a splendid idea for someone here to adopt such an innovation, in the hope that the light might some night prove guiding star to mushers approaching this city this winter.
 The suggestion seems worthy of con- sideration, since it is quite true that a light from tall pole here would be effective over a wide radius, and might prove of great assistance in some of the wild storms that are said to prevail here

she employed modern BUSINESS
methods, including advertising in
newspapers, to secure a new hus-
band.
Alice, according to a statement
sent out by the postoffice depart
ment, now has perfectly legal
husband, but she advertised for
another. The cases when Alice's
correspondents looked good to
her, she wrote asking them to
send her the price of getting from
Jamestown to their place of resi-
dence, and when she got the
money she failed to seek the So
c1ety of her would-be soul mate.
She just hung on to the money.
In explanation Alice said she
wanted to try, try again, until she
found exactly the right man.
Then, she declared, she meant to
return all the money she had re-
ceived from the other men and
cleave only to the ultimate
eligible.
The inspectors had a hard time
getting evidence, as the men who
sent her money and were then left
waiting at the train on which
Alice did not come, were re-
luctant to have their names used
IN the case. One man was found
at Maybury, Pa, who consented
to help the inspectors. He sent
Alice $3.50 to pay her fare from
Johnstown to Maybury, but she
never came. ANOTHER man living
away out at Eugene, Oregon, who
claimed to have given up S1Io to
Alice, also gave the postoffice in
spectors a lift. -

MRS. ELLA FLACG YOUNG,
PRESIDENT OF THE \. E. a.

That Is great news which emanates
from the convention OF the National
Educational Association at Boston 10
the effect that Mrs. Ella Flag Young,
superintendent Of the public schools Of
Chicago. has been triumphantly elected
president of the association aforesaid.

appears the women teachers showed q

of the male participants
Mrs. Young's opponent was Zach
arias Nenophon Snyder, president Of
the state Normal School OF CoIors %.
M Snyder was Handicapped by his sex
and his name, and the records show
that his anabasis was beset with as
much trouble as was that OF the
ancient Greek for whom he was, IN
part. christened. Mr.. Snyder got one
vote TO Mrs Young's two, and when
It was all over his manager raised the
CRY that the convention was packed
for Mrs. Young, and that the Chicago
delegation spent $1,000 to carry the
election This Is not a large sum as
they reckon elections out IN Chicago,
however
in view Of Mrs NOUng's remarkable
race what becomes of the theory OF

hezitancv, but none OF Mrs Young's
admirers. and they are legion, would
seriously maintain that she Is any

rise to Is this: That the spirit OF
insurgency seems to be afoot among
the teachers as 1t Is elsewhere More

OPEN CARS STORED IN CAR
BARNS.

One Of the most significant features
Of the report Of Secretary Eddy of the
District Electric Railway Commission
on the closed car question Is his state
ment that both the local traction com
panies have a goodIy supply OF open
cars stored IN their barns. These cars
are IN good repair, ready to be taken
out on short notice. and operated over
The lines Of the city, yet while the
weather gets hotter and hotter and the
patrons Of the traction companies con

open ears remain peacefully IN storage
In his report Mr. Eddy leads up TO
the car storage discovery as follows.
With the exception Of the PennsyI-
vauia avenue. Seventh street and
