MRS. YOUNG LEAVES SCHOOLS
TO ELECT NEW HEAD

Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, whose note
as an educator made Chicago schools
famous, leaves the city and her
schools today She is going to live
in California. Either Los Angeles or
San Diego will be chosen.
In her thorough way Mrs. Young
filed out completely with work her
last day as superintendent. A trip
to several schools occupied the
morning and the regular Office hours
in the Tribune bldg. consumed the
afternoon.
Mrs. Young intends to spend the
rest of her day in quiet. A long rest
in California and perhaps later tour
in Europe-this is as far as her plans
reach at present.
The school board meets this after
noon to elect a superintendent of
schools and officers of the board

TOWN GOSSIP
THEY SAY

THAT the Tribune and News are
getting tired of the constant pound
ing about the rotten midnight lease,
whereby they got school land in the
loop at a measly low rental; and that
the Tribune is now trying to buy all
the property on the west side of Mar
ket street from Madison to Monroe.
THAT the Trib will finally build
a building there and turn over the
lease they now have to somebody
else.
THAT Victor Lawson has 1oa-
year lease on the property at the
northwest corner of Madison and
Market, and in time will put up |
building there for the News. And
that that is why Lawson and Hearst |
wanted to get rid of the 81" stub that |
runs to Madison on Market. For |
with that stub out of the way there |
would be lovely wide plaza between
the Hearst and Lawson buildings.
THAT Jimmy Simpson, big boss
of the big Field store, is trying to get
the loop press to let up on Big Bill
and quit knocking MIN. One story is
that the city administration will then
let up on the enforcement of the fen
der ordinance. The big stores don't
want to put tenders on their auto
trucks, and say that some politicians
at the City Hall are financially inter-
ested in certain tenders.
THAT Ex-Judge John E. Owens
has tackled the job of harmonizing
the Harrison and Sullivan factions
of the local Democracy-which will
be SOME job.
THAT some of Mayor Thompson's
political pals are very anxious to
spend the the city's 55 per cent trac-
ton fund building a loop subway,
with entrances to the Easements of
the principal department stores.
THAT Andy Lawrence is sorer

Quartz In Cash Boy
Shows Improvement

There are no material changes in
the Cash Boy today, according to
Mine Manager +. H. Mead. Last
nights shots are now mucked out
and another round of holes is being
put in. The ore shows material inn
provement, although it is not yet Of
milling grade, but is getting close to
that point, improving as the footwall
is approached.
A rumor went through the town
and was possibly put on the wires
that Cash Boy had been flooded out.
Mr.. Mead say that the bailing today
was concluded in half an hour and
that the presence of the small water
flow is but indicative Of a permanent
assure. The ledge, formerly believed
to 'Oe the Murray, looks. at present
like an entirely new find. 1t strikes
almost exactly east and west and dips

the ledge has been pierced a distance
OF nearly twenty feet from the hang

materially increase as the footwall

 cts be accepted as an indication of the number who will be present to- might it behooves those desiring seats to go early.
 The students taking part in the play have been faithful in their at- tendance at rehearsals and are re- ported to be perfect in their parts.
 The entertainments are being given by the students in order to raise
 funds for the better equipment of
 the school laboratory and to secure new books which are required for the school library and it is to be hoped the young people will receive a lib- eral patronage both nights.

Antiquity of the Organ.

:. The organ is the. most magnificent and comprehensive of all musical in- strumenta. While the pipes of Pan. aside from that mythical parsonage. indicate a very ancient use of pipes as a means of producing musical sounds.
 the water organ of the ancients' fur nishes to the student of organ history
 the first tangible clew regarding the remote evolution of the instrument. In the second century the magripha. an organ of ten pipes with crude keyboard. is said to have existed, but accounts of this instrument are tn- volved in much obscurity. It is aver red that an organ. the gift of Con- stantine. was in the possession of King Pepin of France in 757. but Aldhelm. a monk. makes mention of an organ with "gilt pipes'' az far back as the year 700.

Bulls In Parliament.

Lord Londonderry once threw the house of lords into roars of laughter during the debate on the second read. ing of the Irish land bill by gravely de. claring that this is the reason why you have failed to settle the Irish land question in the future as you have done in the past"
 In the course of the same speech he concluded a period with: This is the keystone of the bill. Are you going to kill it?''
 Better still was a sentence which he uttered in 1897 when speaking once more on the Irish land question "That, your lordship will see," refer ring to a quotation he had just made, "indorses up to the hilt what I have satd."-London Tatler.
