MARSHAL
ADAMS
ED.
RE-INSTAT-
The Meeting of the City Fathers
Friday    Evening    by    no
Means Chilly.
Last week Wednesday was the first
time the board of aldermen bave had a
quorum present since about the middle of December last. It Is known
generally that Mayor Dunlop had preferred charges against Marshal Adams,
that he was suspended for neglect of
duty and that Sam Northey was appointed marshal pending the action of
the board. This marshal question
came up Wednesday evening, when,
on motion, the board immediately adjourned.
At Friday night's meeting the en»
tire board was present. The Mayor
ruled that inasmuch as Mr. Adams
had not filed his answer to the charges
preferred within the five-day limit—
the charter saying that within five
days after charges have been preferred
against any officer he may flie
'•his answer—that therefore the charges
would not be considered before the
board. By a majority yote an appeal
was made from the Mayor's decision.
The Mayor and Sam Northey were
sworn, and as this was all the evidence taken on that side, a half dozen
witnesses were sworn, whose evidence
was in direct opposition that already
jjiven, By a vote of four to two the
charges against Mr. Adams were not
sustained. At one' time tbe discussion became rather warm between the
Mayor and Aid. Doherty, and with a
flash the expression "pusillanimous
xjur" swept across the room, almost
taking the breaths of the spectators.
The whole issue resdves Itself to
this: Shall the saloons obey the law
relative to closing, or shall their proprietors keep them open at will? The
Mayor has given Marshal Adams to
understand that he means to do his
duty, and still warmer times may
follow unless the law is obeyed.
Mrs. O. S. Derby, who bas been here
during the past two weeks looking
after the business'of the Backet Store,
returned to her home at Olare Tuesday. Mrs. Derby says she will close
out her store here for the reason she
cannot give It proper attention. ~

Since 1890 Wasnington D. C, has
had the distinction of being the leading negro city in that country, a position that had formerly been beld by
New Orleans, with Balitmore a close
second. It still holds the first place
in this regard but the present cencus
shows Philadelphia has made the
heaviest gaining in negro population
in the past decade. The truth of the
matter is that a great many cities are
showing marked inerease in the negro
population, while the decreases t are
few and comparatively small in number, most of them being in Virginia
towns and cities. San Francisco has
the smallest negro population of any
large City ih the country, possibly because cheap labor there is performed
by the Chinese. *     '

Miss Woodward has sufficiently recovered to be at her post.
Mr. Snider has been called home on
account of sickness and Mr. Gray is
kindly acting as substitute.
A physical apparatus case has been
added to the laboratory.
The state eighth grade examination
conducted by Com'r Aldrich will be
held in the botanical laboratory
Thursday, February 20th.
During the absence of Miss Cumings
on account of sickness the seniors
were given some practice in teaching.
A "condition" means that a pupil
must do certain, additional work prescribed by the teacher and take another final examination before receiving credit for a subject. Dropped
means that a pupil's work is so poor
that he is a dead weight on the class
and gets no good out of tbe work and
therefore forfeits his membership
in the class. This is the first time in
the school here that the policy of dropping as explained above has been
carried out. There are two pupils in
the high school who have not passed a
single subject during the half year.
Those taking foreign languages are
for the most part the best all around
students as only the strong students
dare attempt such work.
In the high school it is not a question of grades so much as it is the
completion of each individual subject.
In view of tbe broken condition of
the school last year the following facts
at the end of tbe school half-year may
be of interest: The pairs of numbers
indicate respectively the number doing passing work and the number on
tbe doubtful list thus far: eighth
grade 22, 6; seventh,31, 8; sixth 20, 9;
fifth, 23, 7; fourth, 24, 3; third 34, 1;
second, 35, 6; first, 31, h. No account
is taken of those who come once in a
while.
For the .high school these figures
will indicate respectively the number
passed, not passed, conditioned, dropped because of poor work: mathematics 49, 5, 3, 3; foreign languages 30, 0,
0, 6; .English 50, 0, 6, 5; science 40, 8,
4, 4; history 15, 3, 2, 0. "Not passed"
means that a subject must be taken
again before receiving credit for it.
The Wayward Boy.
The following article was handed in
as a regular exercise in eighth grade
composition by Florus Bloomfield ;—
A person that works all he is able
and is interested in his work may become rich, but he that does care only
for enough to sustain life is liable to
be disgraced by the depths of poverty.
I know of a young man who is no
better off now tban when be was a
mere child. His career was nealy idle
but Pot wholly so. He began it by being a truant when be was sent to
school. He would jump freights
bound for other small villages just to
have something to do and if he could
not stjeal food from a grocery would go
without until he got hungry enough-
to go home.   He would always try to
get there about a quarter after four so-
thathis folks would think that he had
been to school.   Sometimes he would
fail to reach there in time and then he
would get a hard whipping,   After he
was  about fifteen years of age and
when he thought nis mother did nob
have control over nim be would not-
go to to school at all but would get-
small jobs around town so a& to get-
enough money to buy cigarettes and*,
then be would spend the rest of his-
time smoking them while he boarded
on his mother and sisters.
Such is his career and heis doing the
same to this day. If be keeps on in
this way he will probably kill hia
mother with grief and end up in
prison or a drunkard's grave.
