ment Of Prof. Selden and all the teachers
OF last year, except Mr.. Waybright, who
has declined TO serve longer. These
teachers have all signfied their willing
ness TO return.
The board also has in contemplation
some improvements 10 the building and
grounds. The building will be repaired
and possibly fence built about the
grounds, Owing TO the fact that the
voters reduced the levy from three to
two mills, the board will be somewhat
crampcd for money and will not be able
TO do all il would.
1t is learned that the Gilbert endow-

RHYME Of MODERN MARINER
Being the Story of the Rescue of Cap.
tain BIake's Son From Watery
Grave.

Captain Blake is a mariner bold, and
his ship is the Mary Ann. His crew
consists Of his wife and child and one
able-bodied man. His boat is a barge
which lies near Pier B on the Jersey
side, and yesterday he left he there at
the dock, securely tied. On the deck
of the barge his little son, not yet 12
months old, was playing about with a
terrier pup called Rag-Tag. His moth
er was taking needed nap in the
dreams were broken rudely by the
dogs staCcato bark When she rushed
on deck she saw the pup with his fore
feet on the rail and his eager eyes di-
rected toward an object that was a.
sail. She looked and saw, then al
most swooned but gave a frightened
scream when she saw the baby sailing
off on an ice foe in the stream.
go get him-save my little boy!"
she screamed, and in a trice the faith
full pup was swimming toward the
floating cake of ice. The mothers
cry was heard by men upon vessel
near-the steamship Oceana, which
was tied up at her pier. An officer
named Lindsay looked and saw the
baby's plight and soon had manned a
boat and gone to save the drifting
mite. Before he reached the dancing
cake the dog was on it, too. The ice
foe bore two passengers, a captain
and his crew.
The baby and the terrier were taken
in the boat-a tiny pair of mariners,
too young to be ahoat. And with the
child safe in her arms the mother
wept for joy but not whimper pass
ed the lips Of the small sailor boy. But
when his father, Captain Blake, re-
turned last night and heard his wife
relate the story just as it had oc-
Cured, he pursed his lips and whistled
long, then gave his head shake and
said: This surely is fact from me
that you can take. That kid of mine
a sailors life most certainly will
choose. He's breaking in to learn the
game by taking his first cruise" Then,
thinking of the cake of ice which was
the baby's boat, he said: THAT boy
will navigate the biggest ship atioat.
He's got the first requirement, and he
can't be called a fool; for whatever
else he might have done, he certainly
kept cool. New York Times.

Those who worship gold in world
so corrupt as this we live in have
at least one thing to plead in defense
of their idolatry-the power of their
idol 1t is true that, like other idols,
it can neither move, see. hear, feel nor
understand; but, unlike other idols, 1t
has often communicated all these pow
ers to those who had them not, and
annihilated them in those who had.

THE PROSECUTION OF LAW
BREAKERS.

1t is~notcd with satic faction thai
it is the purpose Of the Good Gov

prosecute all persons who are guilty
Of election frauds. In the past
frauds al elections have been cOun-
tenanced, as being a part OF the pro
ceedings of The day, which, after the
election, have been temporized, for
given and forgotten through a vic
ious sentimentaiity. 1t is not sur
prising then that the election crooks
have increased in their boldneSs and
had become so defiant that they
could not restrain their procliVity
TO stun the ballot boxes, as for in
stance al the election of Judge Som
merville, who had no opposition.
Following this crime, which was
perpetrated with deliberation, a
number Of convictions We're secured,
but undislnayed the election crooks
in New Orleans have been defiant of
the law at the January % primary
and have been guilty of frauds,
while others have disregarded the
secrecy of The ballot.

the Good Government League that
there has been any regular system
in the apprehension, in the prosecu-
lion and in llle conviction of elec-
ton crooks.
In the past The political machine
in New Orleans maintained itself
through frauds in registration and
at elections. The time has come
when frauds at elections must be
made SO odious that none so reck-
