The world would not get throngh its mulsifs rious relations with- out red tape. But it will 110t answer to look Fo red tape for eversthing. For instance, it will not werm the public school-h ouses, the thermom- eter at zero.

Notices of the same com- Dlaint insome of the city papers made it appear that gur attention would not be improperly directed in looking into tho matter. Our humane work embraces oy Hving cresture,” as will be seen by reading the Sistute. §0 we felt that these little children wera clients of ours also, and more espocially since_their ‘parents directed us to them. e thereforo called upon Afr. mxflmmhme Principal of the chool, and stated our errand. Ho appeared quite indignant at the thought that an agent of The Boclety for tho Preven- Animals " call tion of Cruelty to ehould to erpostulsto With him, but concluded to havo the mafter investigated, sand desired 18 tomakea statement {o the public of our conclu-. slons. Some children whom W knew wero called into - the office, and wore catechised, snd very clearly statec/, that they had mometimes been kept out in the cold, e 4~ ‘pecially at noon-time, Mr. Merrimon explained, i ak therules for the public schools were that the do ora £hould be opened at 83 o'clock, when the weather sas very cold, otherwise they remained closed until the €chcol hour srrived. There did not geem 1o br ,any rule but the judgment of the Principal ss to the tem. perature that ehould open or close the doors, 1 jough . Merriman afirmed, and confirmed by the J¢ miiie, nat the orders were to admit very emall chilf tren af all times, It wasalso explained that the gener al rule was that children were not to bring their dintaars to school, tho exceptions being, when ihey lived 5 long Gistance away, 225 a mile, oF on extremely wek o cald 77 ‘Tegisters ere in the hall, near the door, dren may warm ftheir foet, anda bench gfim out where boya sit wlile they eat their Ginners, Bat pupils zre not sllowed to piay in the bouse, and must ‘either go out or forego ali pastime. “This all uppeare very orderly and regulur; indeod, thie very pesiestian of pedagogical precision,” We were also {nformed tha t 1o child was allowed t0 go out of the building withot & nhevipg firat put on its clck or shawl, but whilo pats - ing thrqugh the halls we met some childron who hasd ot beatd of, or had forgotten, the rule, The doors £.o the building are very ponderols and move heavily o1 their hinges, 80 that no very small child conld apora them, and such an ono might perish outside befons some accidental passer through would let it in. a0z, Merrimon, from all the evidence we wers sbdy 1o gather, want to do whatis right, ami S5y out tho rules 1nd down by hiy saperiers.

Therules Seem to all be for ¢ ho prrposs of staring off tho cace of the chilg until th o hour ar- rives to commen udics. There is 1 o provision For play-rooms inside the building, and 1 46 very ene Torcement of the rules would necessarily : provoke the compleintsmade. We think every principle of humanits wisniem de- ‘mands a recognition of the rights of our ehikiren, as in the public school. And the rost imphrt- ant of these rights is that of proper in!ercourse with. each other, under the care of their ‘ieschers, Our s, resent drill-system Lills out al affectio n in the chil Er mmals it cold and heartlecs, though shrewd aud 1o telligent. ; We want thoss large, wnoceupied . base ments mode into play-rooms, accessible to the cbildre' during all times of play, abd always under £ho & ipervisios of Some computént moral instructor.

Although no orderhas been made by the Court, and the exact terms of the decision cannot be publisked, it may be stated that Judge Farwell has dismissed the bill against Otto Peltzer proy- ing for an injunction restraining the publication of Peltzer's Atlss of Chicago; and that an ac- count be taken of sll sums of money received in advance for copies of said atlas, that a list be furnished of all persons to whom eheets had al- ready been issucd, and making the injunction perpetusl. The decision is understood not to disiurb the injunction. Tho complainants ap- pealed against the decision, which, in effect, pre- cluded their participating fa sny ‘rofits Poltzor might have already made out of tho trausaction, 308 35 an appeal ¢annof bo hoerd until Septem” ber noxt year, and the defendant, Palizer, may, at that time, be able to show heavy damages by the delay in the publication of thé maps, should tho Gourt abore sustain the decision aud dismiss all proceedings, including the injunction, nppgnl bond ‘has bean placed st $20,000. ' Tho matter is of considerablo public interest, and it neither of fs to be regrotted = that the parfies tfo the suit, mor =oy rsons connected with the Court, could ave boen induced to inform the newspapers a3 to the hour when His Honor's decision might be oxpected, 80 that a report could have been pub-, lished of s matter so interesting to the public. The only informetion to be obiained in the Gourt, is, that the bill has been diemaissed, aud thint the srder has not yot boen prepared, and is, fherefero, not of record, and should not'be pub- lished. It is believed, however, that the de- cision will be found mainly as here given. In consequence of several new orders grant- ing change of venuo in suits brought against the Knickerbocker Insurance Company, in Judgo Tree's court, the Journal assumes inaccuracy in the report published in this column _yosterday, and discovers that Judge Tree's decision in the cases referred to was not as stated, but _in favor of the change. The Journal is in error; the cases in which the spplications were granted wera andefended, and no other order than that entered could well bs made ; but in the defended cases the decision of his Honor as printed in Tae TamuiE was correct, being summarized from complets notes. Counsel Tnley yesterday applied to the County Court for the appointment of Redmond Prinde- yille, Hiram J. Jones, and Georgo D. Talbot as Commissioners to assess the cost of public im- rovements in every part of the city, namely : g‘ur lamp-posts, with service-pipes, and private drains, together with curbing and _grading, and Iaying s new wooden block pavement on ‘wen- ty.seventh street, from tho east line of Sonth Park avenue to the east curb-line of Cottege Grove avenue, The assessments are up’ of eighty in mumber, and form = mess of legal sta- tionary swful to the reporters’ vision. In the United States Circuit_Court, the cause 6f Lewis end Brooks v. the Michigan Central Railrond Companyis on trial. The complainants ‘e for damages arising out of the non-delivery, within a ressonable period, of 224 sacks of wool, containing 50,000 pounds, valued at S1 per pound, said_wool being ehipped at_Chicago on the 23 of February, and not delivered until the 2015 of April in the samo vear ¢o the cosignee, the Globe Woollen Mills, Utica, the prico having ‘meanwhile fallen 30 cents, causing a heavy loss to the complainants. Charles Botts, yesterday, bronght guit in the Sugerior Court fo’ restrain Harriet Collins, her Shusband, or their agents, removing, assigning, o otherwise interfering with the atockin No. 231 West Madison street, which property she hsg scquired, together with the lease of the ) puilding (ot $160 per month) in hor own right, " from xienry Lamhite, to whom the premises “were orgiunlly lot st $166.66 per month. Botis Claims thres months’ rent. Judge Wallawe, in addition to the heavy pro-- ‘bate business pressing on his_attention, i8 now bardened with s railrosd condemnation’ Buit,— the Columbus, Chisago_ & Indiana Central Rail Tosd v. Mason et al. If he gets through within Zen days be will be s Incky Judge, His Honor's Jurisdiction seems elsstic enough to cover al- ot every kind of trial kuowg fo the law. The Cheney case was up beforo Judgo Wil- linms yesterday, on a motion tostrike out excep- tions o the snswer of Philips and others. Tho motion was overruled, and exceptions were entered to the raling. Argument took up ali the afternoon. In the suit Pleiades Lodge A. F. & A. M., of Chicago v, Sarsh Collins and nnknown heirs of Walter Collins, 5 decree was entered veaterdsy finding the sum of $653.75 due to the plaintifl. The last trial on the calendar, in the United States Circuit Court, is now proceeding. At the closo of the trial, the Bankruptcy Calendar will be called. Proot is being taken, before Bishop, Baster in Chancery, as to a dispnted bank check, in the maiter of the Commercial Insurance Compeny. The applicationa for chango of venue, to be ‘houtd before Judge Porter, in ihe Knickerbocker Tnsurance suits, which conld not be heard yestor- Qay, will be heard this morning.

A Needed Precaution Against Fires Along the River, Who are Oocupying the Street Ends in the Lum- ber District, and What is Being Dona About It. A short time ago Tae TRIBUNE called atten- tion to the fact that among the added perils of fire, from the great lumber district in the south- west part of the city, was the occupancy of the streets at the river by the lumber firms. No one thinks of assailing our great lumber inter- est, nor to push restrictions against them to their injury, but it is evident that to shut up the street access to the river, and to deprive the lumber yards themselves of the advantage of street openings, is injurious to all intercsts, but especially theirs. The Fire Department on the outbreak of & ‘firo could not, in the wide neighborhood referred to, -bring their steamers down to the river, and if they did, the chances are they could not get them awsy. The city authorities have “acted in the matter, and it i8 more with a view to present the thoroughnéss of their work, as well as to indicate the general nature of the occupancy referred to, that ie publish the list of prominent lumber firms upon whom, on the 26th ult., formal notices were filed bfi' the clf,{ authorities to clear the streets: W. 8. Babeock & Bro., Barton, Jones & Co., Baicheldor & Ben- ton, Baicheldor & Slate, J. Beidler & Pros,, Bishop & Lull, Burdick & Moad, McMullen & Officer, B. L. Anderson & Co., Geo. C.

Several of these firms, smong our most enterprising and solid busingss men, ‘hava come forward, and are pither clearing the streets at once, or giving pledges to sell from existing piles and add nothing o the stock so placed. 'The whole movement is recognized by tho residents of the sonthwestern part of the city 28 one of great importance, and to be as littlo delayed a8 possible in execution. EVANSTON MATTERS. DMeeting of the Board of Trustecs—The Wa- ter Supply Discussed---Two len After One ‘Woman-—.Personal Items. ‘The monthly meeting of the Evanston Town Trustees was held in the Town Hall, on Tues- day evening last. The Trustees present wera: President 0. J. Gilbert, C. F. Gray, and J. H. Kedzie. Theo. Reese, the Secretary of the Board, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were duly approved. Several bills wera presented and ordered to be paid. On motion of Mr. Eedzie, Mr. Reese was ap- pointed Clerk of the Board until his succeasor was elected ; Mr. Reese was also instructed to procure & new seal for the Board, : An ordinance was pacsed requiring corpora- tions, companies, and any person or persons making any excavation in any street or alley in the town, for any purpose whatever, to restore the street or alley to as good & condition s that in which they found it, and in case any hole or excavation is mado, they shall securely inclose the same, and ot night place s light to warn tho public of danger. No gas or water pipes shall Do laid in the middle of & Street, except when ‘necessary in crossing, and such companies shall keap map of the location of said bipes, open to the inspection of the public. The penalty for violation shall not be than $30. The Sub-Committee on Water Works, consist~ ing of Mesars. Hitt, Kedzio, Marcy, Gilbert, Ladd, and Tlgg, were introduced to the Board, and submitted for their consideration the report published in these columns in full one week ago. They urged upon tho Trustees the necesaity of immediate sotion, using 8 ar- guments the present insecurity against fire and the scarcity, unpKIy, and poor quality of the water now used. A portion of Evanston is on Isnd lowand swampy by naturo, and though ‘well-drained, the water there obtained is & vary mild type of slough water. Two ways of_ establishing water-works have 88 than §5 nor more “boen suggested ; ono by s stack compuny ; the other by the corporation, i A lengthy discussion followed, as to whether the Village Trustees had the power to build such animprovement, and, having that pover, how they could raige the necessary fands. If ralsed by a general {5, tho-Univarsity property could not b roached,” By a special pasessment they could reach the University property; but, qpt%m sy for the village, the great bulk of né ln.flfifa(gn’a property will be without the area in whick the pipes ara proposed to be laid. Hugh A. Whit, tho' attorney of tho Board, gave his opinion as fo the legality of tho quee- tions involved. The most important fact that he stated being that no property can be asgessed om o pecial assessment for An smomnt greater than it is benefited. He also casually remarked that it was against the interest of thunfeogle of Evanston to pnyehwrincipal ‘that would be re- g‘;lirefl if the town bi t:: me:ofl:s, and against ir principle to pay the intorest. S5 EE 8 Taylor addressed the Board, and thonght that stock compeny would be the bot- tor way o reach the end proposed, heving the town take a portion of the stock. g Mr. Kedzie moved that the communication made by the Sub-Committeo be received, and that the Boerd sdjourn for two weoks, ab which meeting the question will be more fully considered. ¥ ‘Tn tho meantime thero is © water everywhere, and not & drop fit to drink,” and 1o beer.

A Girl Entices Her Discarded Lover into Her Room and then Throwsa Pot of Lye Over Him-He Procures Her Arrest. v Tllen McCarthy, of No. 28 Miller street, was befora Justico Eberhardt yesterdsy, charged ‘with assaulting Michael Finan, with intent to do him bodily injury. The details of the case have heretofore been published in Tme TRIBUSE. Finan wasat one time cngagod to Ellen, and three or four days ago went to visit some of his friends, who live on the sccond floor of her residence. Her sister, Mrs. Margaret EKeating, induced him to go ino Ellen's room by telling him Ellen wished to return the jewelry he ‘'had prosented to her while she was his fiance. Ho entered the room, the door was locked by some one, and Ellen recefved him with a smile. After some conversation, she seized a pot fall of lye and throw its contonts at him, A portion of the Iye fell on his clothes, and a small part on the side of his face. He yelled, and Ellen threw more Iye at him, but feiled to injure him further, Her sister then kindly allowed him to escape, the supply of lye having been exbausted. An effort was mado at the hearing Festordsy to hold Mrs. Kosting as an accessory, ut the Justice decided that the evidence would not warrant him in holding her for trial. Finan mado a demand for his jowelry, but Ellen re- fused to part with it, asserting that he gave it to hor to offest the oxpense to be incurred by her in providing the nmrrinse supper. He didn't partake of the moal, and she proposed o hold the jewelry to reimburse herself for her trouble. About two hours were occupied in hearing the tostimony, and after the lawyers had had their say, Ellen was required togive bonds in the sum of $500 for trial at the Criminal Court. PERSONAL.
