Washington. Duke Dodjazmatch
Nado, member of the imperial
Abyssnian delegation now visiting
this country, picked up the huge ana

calmly shook the sleeping reptile into
consciousness. Onlookers gasped.
The delegation was visiting the
ZOO, where specimens of the wild
beasts which were sent to former
President Roosevelt from Abyssinia
by Emperor Menelik II are quartered.
They had paused by the cage of the
anaconda. 1t was asleep. One OF the
party expressed desire to see the
snake move and the guide prodded 1t
with a stick, but it dozed on When
further proddings failed to disturb it
Duke NadO thrust his hand into the
cage and, taking the reptile by the
throat, shook it until it quivered and
squirmed into wakefulness. Then he
quietly tossed 1t to the far end of
the cage.
His act gave the party thrill, but
the dukes modest department indi-
Gated that snake charming is no nov

MAY TAKE Is YEARS
TO PAY WARS DEBTS
Treasury Department Estimates Gov
crnment Must Pay $f.20O,OOO-
900 for Quarter Century.

Washington, Feb 25.--It will cost
the American people about $1,2O0,-
100000 for the next rs years to pay
off the war debt, according to esti-
mates of the treasury based on in
complete knowledge of precisely
what the final war debt will he. This
calculation is made on the assumption
that the net war debt, with deduc-
tions for loans to the Allies will be
in the neighborhood of $18,0OO,OO
900. Interest on this amount at
the rate of Ia per cent would be
$765, 100000 year to be raised by
taxes and then repaid to hondholders.
In addition about SAT-, 100000 would
have to be provided every year as a
sinking fund to redeem all bonds in
25 years.
This would require cumulative
sinking fund provision of 2.32 per
cent. Congress has not vet authorized
establishment of a sinking fund as
recommended by Secretary Glass.

For some time the schoo1 Board has
been working for an increase of sal
aries for the city teachers and this
years budget provided for an incrca Sc
amounting to about $4,000. If the
city meeting were to cut the appropri-
ations, Mr.. Holmes showed why the
cut would probably be in the salaries
of the teachers.
1t is rumOred that there is friction
among the teachers and the heads of
the schools. The teachers have been
underpaid according to the opinion of
all the members of the school board
and the raise was asked for and
granted by the board of finance and
taxation. The common council passed
the item without a word of comment,
which shows that the members of
that body recognized the necessity for
increased remuneration for the
teachers.
The meeting yesterday afternoon
was called by Mr.. Holmes and was
presided over by him. In concise
manner he summed up the situation.
He said that the progress of the
schools must go on. Regardless of
how much is appropriated for the de
partment, the greater part of the ap-
preparations will have to be used for
general school progress.
