cording to news story printed in the

The Herald's story Of the game says
Messrs. Clemens and Clemens, of
clemens. Iowa, performed faultlessly
for JACK Hayden yesterday afternoon
at tie bah yard and they succeeded in
bringing home another victory for the
Colonels, which places that classy ag-
gregation in the select class of the first
division. OF course. the Clemens fam
lily was aided and abetted by seven
other Colonels who performed wits,

rounds. The score was to l.
But let us talk Of the Clemens fam
lily of Clemens. Iowa. Mr.. Robert
Clemens was given the call to do the
twirlins by Manager Hayden in his
first try-out of the year. Bob didn't
look very good in the spring games
here, and was left at home when the
club took to the road so that he could
get in shape. Manager Hayden sent
him in there Yesterday either to kick
himself off the payroll or cinch job

Minor Council Business.

The A. Z. Gunzenhauser bill for s25
for services as an expert examiner OF
specifications of motor fire trucks
when the city purchased its truck a
year ago came up in council meeting
again this morning. The former ad-
ministration had refused to pay the
bill because it was $50 more than the
bill filed by either ". G. Bowe, or Jo-
seph Moilr, the other experts who were
hired by the city to examine specifica-
lions.
Councilman Nicholson brought up
the bill He thought it ought to be
paid because Gunzenhauser threatened
TO sue, and the costs would probably
be more than the bill. On the advice
of the mayor and Councilman Lamb
the bill was referred to City Solicitor
r E. Northup.
The council will order the usual
flowers and shrubs planted in the beds
of the court house lawn.

NEW TRICK OF CROOKS
HorSehair Used to Extract Oia-
mond Pin from NeCktie

LONDON, Eng, Dec. -. - Almost
uncanny experiences of London thieves
has recently been exemplified by an
eyewitness of a favorite and partic-
ularly clever trick. The man in
question, who was standing behind
the stalls in variety theater, sud-
denly saw the diamond pin in the
cravat of a lounger to be moving Of
its own accord.
1t began to climb out of its resting
place; now with a jerk, anon it rest
ed, and again another jerk, The man
who owned it had his hands in his
pockets and on each side a man in
evening dress was smoking 4 cigar
cite. The OnlOOker watched for the
next jerk and it came just at the mo-
ment when these two with wonderful
precision put their cigarettes to their
mouths. A word to an attendant was
enough The two "gentlemen" in
evening clothes went quietly.
The onlooker later picked up the
long hOrsehair that had stretched from
the little finger of one to the little fin
ger of the other.

APPROPRIAIES
$4,000 FOR
SCHOOLS

The school budget for the coming
year provides for an appropriation of
So. 900 for the cree ton of new schaal
buildings in the county Of HonolI,u
and also for the building OF additions
TO the prosert schools. and il is be-
lieyed that the crowded condition Of
the public schools OF the city, prob
lem which has long confronted the
board of education. has at last Eeen
IS tisfaCtorily solved.
There has been some objection to
his appropriation, however, as a
number of the taxpayers are of the
opinion that this amount OF money
could be used to a better advantage
Tor other needs in case that the pres
ent housing facilities could be ed and
the suggestion has been made that the
present facilities could be doubled by
the employment of an extra force Of
teachers and in condensing the school
dav to four hours. Os it stands now, the
schools are in use four and one-hals
hours per day for five days in the
week, and for ten weeks each year
trey are closed. 1t has been su5-

ment of an extra force of teachers and
using the school rooms during the
morning for one force of teachers and
their classes. and displacing these for
another force of teachers and pupils
Tor the afternoon session. This meth
cd would practically double the accom-
mediation in the crowded schools of
the city.
This plan appears to be feasible
hut the one difficulty which arises, &C
Cording to Inspector Chs on, would be
the enforcement of the truancy law.
Truants could escape detection by say
ing that they attended either the
morning of the afternoon session. An
other would be that mothers would
find it difficult in getting their children
ready for school before nine O'Clock in
the morning, for In the city many OF

leave home at an early hour in the
morning and it is impossible to ascer-
tain whether or not their children GO

THAT is question easily answered.
In 1870 the daily average of readers
was 33S, and the number of books

daily average of readers was 744, and
the number of books consulted aver
aged 1,464,749, but these figures do
not, of course, include the books taken
from the reading-room shelves for
which tickets do not have to be hand

The position is somewhat
peculiar, ~ least so far as regards

raising of the foreign bid for money.
On the stock exchange, the tend

much throughout the day, though
changes were irregular So far as
regards the general market, the vote
of the eastern railway fremen, TO
