In the city hall last night, at a

By Pupils Attracting Extraor-
binary Attention.
GIRLS SHOW PRETTY GARMENTS

Substantial pieces of furniture,
handsomely embroidered linens and
a varying assortment of drawings
and basket work from pupils of the
first grades on up to the graduating
class of the high school go to form
an extraordinary exhibition of the
practical results of the school year.
This assortment, which causes ex-
carnations of establishment because
of the elaborateness of the exhibit,
was first shown the public last Fri
day afternoon at which time the
girls of the cooking class served
visitors with refreshments consist
ing of lemon sherbet, DEVILS food and
white loaf cake with chocolate FROST
ing, coffee and chocolate, all of
which they had made, themselves.
Can See Display Tonight.
So much interest was manifest by
those who saw the display that City
Superintendent of Schools Dyer, by
special request, has decided to keep
the exhibits in place this afternoon
and this evening and will personally
show them to all who call at the high
school building.
The display in the manual training
class contains, among other things,
a heavy oak library table regulation
size, with two drawers and magazine
shelf. Other pieces of furniture in
clude plate rails, business desks,
medicine cabinets and chests, brass
hinged wall cabinets, china cabinets,
an oak easel, piono seats with music
compartment, jardiniere stands,
music racks, childrens folding
tables, stools, magazine stands and
book cases. Nearly all of these ar
ticles were made ~~by the school
pupils but there are many others less
complicated in construction on dis
play as products from the lower
grades.
Oak, Gumwood and Pine.
The bigger pieces of furniture are
made from oak while gum wood and
white pine are used in some OF the
smaller ones. r.. ..,..
The eighth grade pupils have a
display of bread boards, checker
boards, a solitary game, while the
seventh grade have made sleeve
forms, picture frames, brush and
broom holders. The fifth grade,
working with knives only, have pen
holders, windmills, picture frames,
whistles, match scratchers and other
small articles. .
Walking Stick From Grape Vine.
One high school boy has made a
walking stick from grape vine.
Another conceived the idea of an
aeroplane but this was not con-
structed. 49,

suits of underwear, bingham dresses,
embroidered shirt waists, skirts and

MOOSE CHASES FARMER
Vicious Animal Deliberately Blocks
Passage Of christianson Who
Has Narrow Escape.
THREE OTHERS FOUND GRAZING

Many moose are being seen in Bel
trami and Roseau counties and in
one instance, a few days ago, Cleve-
land Christianson, a farmer over the
line in Roseau county near Cedar
Bend, ran across one Of these ami
mails which showed signs Of fight
and when Christensen turned and
ran for his life the moose took after
him and Christensen stumbled into
neighbors house and slammed the
door with the breath of the beast
upon him.
This race for life is described by
this weeks Warroad Plaindealer
which says that Christianson was on
his way to his neighbor, 4. p. Nc
Laughlin's farm when che met a big
bull moose on the road who showed
every symptom of wanting to fight, !"
and who started after the frightened
farmer when he turned and ran.
The moose made for the tall timber
when he saw Christianson enter the
house. The Plafndealer adds:
"A man is not safe in the woods
at this season Of the year where
these monarchs Of the forest in
habit and the settlers fear them as
much as they would the man-eating
lion.''
Three full grown moose were seen
on William Roberts place, short
distance from Warroad last Tuesday
morning. The animals were not
alarmed when Roberts came upon
them and showed no signs of fright
and wandered off into the woods.

has the official sanction of the board

audited by Chairman Peterson, bear
ing date of March 81.
The items contained in this bill
include among other things Services
for serving subpoenas.

Mr.. George wished it made plain
that he is taking no part in the pres

that he is mixing in the trouble in
no way other than that he refuses
to pay the above bill which he con-
tends is but his plain duty.
Sheriff Hazen claims not to be per-
turbed over the charges against him.
His only comment is:
II have nothing more to say about
the charges than that they are false.
GAS almost all the residents of
this city know, I was tried on charge
Of letting federal prisoners go at
large, in Fergus Falls about a year
ago, and they also know that was
acquitted. I am not guilty of the

XVI. RED COLOR.

Although the normal and most de-
sirable blood supply is shown by a pink
color of the palms and nails it is, per-
haps, more advantageous to take up. in
the first place, the more extreme type
indicated by a deep red color. For
memory is greatly aided by association
Of ideas, and few associations are more
adapted to this purpose than those of
extremes, on the principle that "ex-
tremes meet" Wherefore, after treat
ing of the red kind we shall consider
the pallid white. which is its antithesis,
or opposite extreme.
Red shows an excess in quantity and
quality as well as force of blood sup
ply. It indicates an ardent nature. very
strenuous and impatient.
Such a person is incapable of doing
things in a ~listless manner
Colonel Roosevelt's palms are of this
color. He, like all the rest of his
brethren OF this type, does not give
stead of nursing it, as his fellows with
white hands would. he seeks to work 1t
off by fresh bursts of energy.
In whatever sphere you find this
kind of colored hand, whether in the
army, in business, in the pulpit, in art
or in adventure, you may expect the
EXTREMIST sort of intensity.
In the affairs of the heart, too, your
red-palm individual brings to peal his
customary ardor.
He is physically strong, Inc his tre-
mendous energy and force make him
seek rather than avoid obstacles. He
is the Alexander who is forever look
ing for new worlds to conquer"

RADICAL REFORMS IN SCHOOL MANAGEMENT.

~ FTER an investigation extending over TWO years of the school
m districts and school management in New jersey the Ere
%linghuysen committee makes its report 10 the Legislature,
summarizing the results of the investigation and making recon-
mendations for changes and reforms in the State school law. Inc
report shows astonishing imperfections in the law that have been
taken advantage of in INSCRIPTIONS ways by district school boards
and other public officials. 1t further shows that the system of
management is entirely wrong and open TO the graYest abuses.
The committee recommends sweeping reforms, not only in school
district management, but in management by the State. 1t
criticises the trustees of the State school fund for their
methods in purchasing school bonds as investments for the
fund. 1t urges a change in the law which will direct an i'm
mediate distribution among the district schools OF the millions
of funds now retained by the State comptroller The COM
mitee report enters fully into the conditions in the school districts
and recommend radical reforms 10 stop graft and procure honester
and more enlightened administration. The most radical recommend
alton made is that of the adjustment of the State Board of Educa-
ton and the substitution of a single commissioner, with four as
sistants, invested with certain specified duties. This recommends
tbn goes at the very heart of the State school system and would
completely revoutionize it. Regret will be felt that this highly i'm
portant report, dealing with vital questions of State education.
should have been delayed to such a late hour in the legislative SEES
sion. Occupied almost exclusively for eleven weeks with one or
two as yet undetermined matters, the Legislature is hardly pre-
pared now TO take mp this report and its recommendations and legs
late inteligently.

property is. The worker in these facto-
ries owned by these men thinks hat life
Is. But, unfortunately, the worker has
no voice in the management of things,
and the employer has.
This may seem like socialistlc talk.
But it is nothing of the kind. The
writer came to the above conclusions
after reading all the Newark papers
and all the New York papers, both as
to news and editorials. More han one
of the papers called the fire In New
York, which has shocked the nation,
nothing but plain murder.
I must say that the newspapers were
entirely fair in their account of the
conditions that were responsible for
the fire, and did not, for one minute,
spare the wealthy men, whom they are
sometimes accused of representing

ADEQUATE FACTORY Law AND ENFORCEMENT.

n T is up TO the Governor and Legislature now to put a law on the
statute books that shall provide for every reasonable protec
ton for factory workers in this State. The bitter lesson of the
Newark factory fire, forgotten in a few weeks, is now revived and
emphasized by the factory holocaust in New York. There can be no
more indifference at Trenton and no more foolng, and the people
of New Jersey will not accept an inadequate law. They insist that
the factories in the State shall be made safe for human life. They
demand not only a law ample for that purpose, but also all the
official machinery to carry it out. State factory inspection under
the present law has been a CHASTITY joke. The appointment under
the last State administration of a young practising lawyer as an
Inspector was characteristic of a system that must be rooted out
Under such a system of enforcement no laws can be of much avail
The State knows that by experience. A competent State commits
sioner, forbidden to engage in any private employment, should have
full charge of State factory inspection, with power to appoint the
inspectors. With a good law and the proper machinery for its en-
forcement factory life in New Jersey can be made what it ought to
be, both healthful and safe for human beings.

Reduce Factory Risks.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The terrible calamity In New York
of a few days ago gives the citizens
just another opportunity to think of
the disaster we had in our midst but
a few months ago. 1t is always with
sadness that a majority of US read
of the narrowing accounts and then
wonder If all the precautions that are
possible under existing circumstances
are being attended to. Let all the
men who employ large numbers of girls
and men, too, In the factories take all
the precautions they can to do away
with such a loss of life, OF course, we
know that as long as humanity exists
there are bound to be catastrophes,
but let each individual do all he can
to obviate them. This would without a
doubt lessen the number OF dangers
and all would be more satisfied and
safe. A. WARNING.

Fire Drills for FactorIe..

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
While we are urging the legislators
make decent laws regarding the pro-
lection of life in factories it would be
we'll to institute fire drills in every one
of the places. And If we are fortu-
nate enough to secure laws which de-
mand more fire-escapes, etc, the fire
drill will make them only more effec-
tive.
Had fire drills been practised at the
factories in Newark and New York,
which have recently been the scenes OF
horror, the loss of life would have been
much less, If any. With training the
girls and men at work in factories can
use their heads in an emergency, just
as well as the best troop of soldiers. If
a little order and discipline had been
used the High street factory girls could
have escaped. More ~fire-escapes would
have made the task easier, but ever
with the inadequate provisions, the
girls, If properly coached, would have
gotten out safely.
Some people contend that the girls
would perform all right in fire dri Is,
but would become hysterical If real
