PUBLIC SCHOOL ATTENDANCE IS
 BELOW I7,000

 As yet the compilations have not been made in the parochial schools. Of these schools the Sacred Heart stands at the head with an approxi- mate registration of $50; St. Angus tines second, with about 525; St. chaePs, PTS; St. Joseph's, 225; and St. Cyril and Methodius, 1o0.
 With these figures the total enumer- ation of the city will fall below the 17.000 mark

HILTON WEATHER FAVORS BRITISH
 CHAMPION TODAY
Especial from United Press.)

OopCGldl OItl6Q IIcSS.J
 Rye, N. Y., Sept. 16.-It was Hill ton weather, today, when Harold H. Hilton, British champion, and Fred Herreshoff met on the Apawamis Links to decide the amateur golf championship of the United States. An early Scotch mist was in the air while overnight conditions made the greens soggy. This made conditions thoroughly British and accordingly, the odds were against the American golfer and the disadvantage was early in evidence. Herreshoff took 41 in
 the first nine holes while Hilton's first total was 38.
 The cards for the return were: Hilton, in ...4 5 3 5 5 4 4 3-3S--76 Herreshoff, in 4 AT 5 4-40-S1
 Herreshoff won the 18th, 5 to i. Hilton two up. Herreshoff lost the 1 4th, to 5.
 Hilton ended the morning round up by getting the 18th hole 3 to 4.

be expected of MT Taft that in some of those places where the people would much prefer to<fear an explanation of why. he went back on his word on the 1ariff issue he will treat them to a nice speech about peace.
 The people having failed to work themselves into very high pitch of enthusiasm over the prospect of hear ing the President vent his views on peace, the publicity bureau took an- other tack, and now it is announced that MT. Taft will discuss the divorce question. The fact that a good many ministers have seen fit to condemn the Astor- Force wedding, in Newport, has led the energetic young men working under the direction of MT. Hiues to think that perhaps MT. Taft can side track the tariff question by breaking into the newspapers with a few re- marks on the divorce problem.
 When MT. Taft reaches Iowa he will find the farmers out there a great deal more curious about his expIana- tion of his veto of the free list bill than in ay comment he may have to make of the marriage of a couple in New York's four hundred When he gets into Kansas he wiM discover that the people there will be much more interested in his account of why he saw fit to block the effort to get cheaper clothing than in any remedy he may suggest for the problem" of what to do with men like Col. Astor when they take it into their heads to get married. Similarly. the people of the Northwest will keenly appre- ciate it if he will give them satis- factory excuse for his failure to do after election what he promised to do before election, whereas it is doubtful whether any amount of co1n- ment on the habits of Newport's elite will excite them.
 MT. Taft made the real issues that he must face on his trip, and his press agents can not change them He has parted with the tariff revision1sts, and taken his stand with the high pro- tectionists, and what the people will want to know is why he did these things. They won't be beguaaed into anathy toward his delay in tariff reform by accepting John Jacob As tor as a substitute issue

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.

CT James H. Macdonald by tieing the hands of Governor Baldwin or any future Governor should he desire to remove him, told in Thursdays paper of the passage of the bill on the third attempt to secure quorum by 132 to IA.
 Tt could not tell at that late hour the manner in which the quorum was counted. Spectators in the House when the final vote was being taken were convinced that the count was padded. They had no hesitation in saying that members voted both ways on the question in order that the follow, would look more in harmony even with the padded figures.
 "A reporter called the attention of a member-a Republdcaur-to the fact that a certain member who had spoken for the passage of the law in the forenoon, was standing up to be counted with the noes on the vote.
 "'Dont worry said the legislator to the reporter. He knows what he is doing
 'sThe ingenious reporter had thought that the member voting against the way he had spoken was temporarily confused. Nothing of the kind, hs was voting both ways: Charges were made that these tactics were follow ed by other members, and it was charged openly in the talk that fol- lowed the vote that the counters had included in the total spectators, Seu- ators and members of the lobby, who had come into the hall and ranged themselves on the Republican side of the House, where they might conven- iertly be used by the counters in making up a quorum.
 .The Democrats who stayed by Mr. Macdonald during the votes were Messrs. Candee of Easton, Hyde of Canterbury. Pope Of Oxford and Tracy Of Derby"
