He then addressed the board as follows “Without desiring toappear inany way in confict with authority, I'am constrained t» say that I have not yet had suflicient time to determine what course to pursue.

REYBURN ELECTED CHAIRMAN. Mr. Davis left the chair and Messrs. ton and Reyburn having been nom chairman, the latter was elected. THE NEW MEMBER. A communication was received from the District Commissioners announcing the ap. pointment of Mr. W. J. Rhees as a truslee in place of Mr. B. P. Davis. Mr. Lovejoy called attention to the fact that Mr. Rhees had qualified and was present. Mr. Holland said he did not wish it to be un derstood that he was courting a conflict with the District Commissioners, but submitted that this was not the proper time to act on the ad- mission of Mr. Rhees, for Mr. Davis has de- clared that he is a citizen of the District and is eligible. r Mr. Lovejoy raised the point that the action of the District Commissioners was final, and all that they could do was to Pace, the com- munication on record, and Mr. Rhees had the Tight to take his seat. The chair ruled that this was the proper course. APPLICATIONS from Mrs. Mary Sprandel and Jesse Parmelee for janitors positions and Constance Winches- ter tor a teachership were referred, a3 also one from Sarah Iredel Fleetwood for a teacher's lace. She makes inquiry as to whether there is a rule debarring married women from teaching in the schools. The secretary was Lee to inform her that there was no such rule. everal propositions to rent buildings for School purposes were read and referred. Frank Gordon and Hiram Cole were nomi- nated as janitors in the sixth division and confirmed. NINTH GRADE BOYS’ SCHOOL.

A communication from the District Commis. siovers in reference to the text-book contract question, stating that the Commissioners de- Gine at present to make any contract looking toa change of text-books, was taken up. The secretary read, in connection with communication, a letter from Mr. T. B. Bryan, the attorney for Messrs. Iveson, Blikeman, oS & Co. Mr. Lovejoy asked if it was customary to allow attorneys to make arguments before the board : and he moved that the communication be returned. Mr. Brooks said that while attorneys were not permitted to appear before the board and argue their cases, their communications had been read. 0 Mr. Lovejoy looked on it as a piece of pre- sumption to endeavor to instruct the board on the morality of repudiation. i Mr. Middleton did not think that it was proper to send here in the shape of a commu- nication the argument of counsel. 4 Mr. Brooks suggested that the communica- tion was respectful in its tone, and the motion of Mr. Lovejoy to return the document should Teuting the building of Mr. Seilhausen, situated | 4 | urer, with ePID paz to the t the sums set apart sweeps, fuel, reuts. shail not be affseted cheroby t 239,00; ; men 7 beating | apparatus, $4.00); , $39,000; | insurance, $4,131; 23,000; perm iment | improvements and furniture, 313.850: miscel. heous expenses, $1.0; total, $365,000, And. tt the honorable Commissioners be réquest- ed, in the exercife of their power, to observe the foregoing schedule, and to allow no requi- sitions wader any of said heads uniess the same shalt haye been considered and ap- | proved by the board. | At ll:45 p. m, the board adjourned. | Reltef for Yellow Fever Sufferers. THE MASONIC MAS3 MEETING. In accordance with the published call a mass mnceting of the Masonic fraternity was held last night at Masonie hall, Masonic Tem- ple, for the purpose of raising funds for the | relief of the yellow fever sufferers in the south. Deputy Grand Master H. A. Whitney | presided, and Said it was well known for what Purpose the meeting was called, alluded to the liberal action of the Masons of this juris- diction in the past, and said he had no doubt but that their reputation for charity would be fully maintained on this occasion. Rey. David Wills made a brief appeal for help for the sufferers. He said the great aim of Masonry was charity—to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, relieve the distressed, soothe the aftlicted and bind up the wounds of the unfortunate Wherever pestilence and scourge wings its ways, where famine stalks through the land, where the fire fiend lays grand struc- tures in ashes, where the war path is strewn with death and_ desolation, there the loveli- ness of Masonry follows and is acknowledged. Notwithstanding the stringency of the times, he believed that the contributions here would be liberal. No man ever suffered for the free use of charity in times of public distress, and sympathy amounts to nothing ualess it unties the purse strings and leads men to give of their substance to the needy. The chair announced that on the authority of Grand Master Murphy, of Mississippi, the appeal had been made to Masons in the seve- ral jurisdictions for help. Mr Will A. Short was elected secretary. The roll of lodges was called, and seventeen Tesponded. A motion that the representatives of lodges present, whether officers or other- wise, pledge their respective lodges to such sums as they thought proper, and that such representatives become personally responsi- ble for the amount named, was adopted. The following pledges were then given, with the promise that the money shall be handed in Within a week: Columbia Lodge, through W. H. Decker, #25; Arminius Lodge, W. H. Hess, #25: Hiram Lodge, Robert Leitch, #25; Hope 25 3 5 I Lodge, C. O. Brown, $0; G.C. Whiting Lodge, E. Lebanon Lodge, James Turkington, ¢: tiamson, $5); Cenennial Lodge, H.

Jenks, $25; Lody: ; Dawson, $25, Total, $30. - Alexander Gardner ‘was elected treas- N. Long and G. A. Lockwood as a committee to act with him in the distribu tion of the funcs collected. Mr. J. H. Verry then commenced taking up a contribution, leading off with $15 for himselt, and the list in a few minutes footed up $5). It was directed to haye a committe of twanty- one—one from each !odge—to canvass the city for subscriptions from the citizens, and. the chair stated that he would request the Mas- ters of each lode to designate the persons. OTHER MEETINGS AND MOVEMENTS. A special meeting of the Washington Light Infautry, Company A., was held last ht to take measures to help the yellow_fever suffer- ers. A committee consisting of Messrs. Beil, Oyster, Addison, Miller, and MacNichol, was appointed to confer with the committee av- pointed at arecent meeting of the Israelites, with power to act according to their owa judgment. Mrs. C. E. Merrill sent by telegraph yester- day, $4) to Grenada and $45 to Vicksburg. Tae Hreater part of these sums was made up of 25 and 5) cent contributions from the female clerks of the departments.

Lovejoy, Middleton, Nourse, Fairley, CBilins, Whit. (5); nays, Messrs. M. Davis, White, Lioyd, Holland, 8mith, Brooks and Reyburn, Cy The communication was then placed on file. MR. LLOYD'S TEST RESOLUTION, Mr. Lloyd ofiered a resolution, “that the su- perintendents are hereby directed to see that Robinson’s Series of Mathematics, shorter course, having been adopted by the late board, is placed in the hauds of the pupils at the re- opening of the schools, or as soon thereafter as practicable.” Mr. Lioyd claimed that under the law there weve three things which specially beloaged to (be board, and in which their power b- solute, viz: the appointment of teachers, the i and the 3e- wd on the subject, Was wrong in sending back the paper and calling acontract. It was simply a guarantee, and the idea was that it should receive the approval of the commissioners, and be filed. NOT A MERE MACHINE. Mr. Brooks said that if he was here simply asa machine, without power to think or act, and only to do the bidding of the District Commissioners, he did not desire the place, and he did not believe that the commissioners intended to constitute themselves dictators, nor did they intend to veto the action of this beard, but rather to a an opinion as far as they were concern z Mr. Hoiland referred to misrepresentations made to the commissioners, and he defended the action of old board, as having been entire- ly regular. . Mr. Middleton said the question was as to what action the board will take on the com. munication. He called attention to the fact that ali expenditures exceeding $25 have to re- ceive the apyroval of the District Commission- ers, and asked if this did not give the Vommis- sioners authority in this matter. MK, FAIRLEY’S CHARGE. marked that if it was an en- tirely new board, then the District Commi - siovers exercised advisory power and the right to oyerrule the action of the old board. He had heard much on the subject—that the re- port was drawn up by an agent of the house. Mr. Holland called Mr. Fairley to order, and asked bim to state his authority. Mr. Fairley said it was none other than his | Seyret and he further said that it had een reported that the chairman of the com- mittee—Mr. Johnson—was not competent. The chair called Mr. Fairley to order, and suggested that he should not reflect on any ex- meiber. with interest thereon at 6 percent. per annum.

FOISTING HOTCH-POTCH ON THE SCHOOLS. Mr. Fairley continued, claiming that the calling the series “Robinson’s’ was_a_ mis- nomer, saying that a party named Fisk had compiled this book for the trade, and it was mere hotch-potch. He admitted that Davis’ series was too scientific, as it taught substrac- tion philosophically; but while favoring a change he thought that theyshould make a more thorough examination, ane he objected to the manner in which they had attempted to foist these books on the schools. . Mr. Brooks asked if they had not been nine- teen years in getting rid of Davis? Mr. Fairley said that if they had, they could wait one year longer. a eons asked,what Mr. Fairley meant by “fotst.” Mr. Fairley said he did not intend it to ap- ly to the members, but to the publishing ouse. Mr. Lovejoy argued from the proceedings, that Davis’ series was still on the list of text- books, and he defended the action of the Dis- trict Commissioners, claiming that under the organic act the relations had changed, and that now they could, at will, appoint or remove members of fhe municipal boards. A NOTE FROM MR. BALDWIN. n M1. Brooks, as secretary, read a communi- cation from Mr. Baldwin, who was absent, stating that while he voted in the old board and in the new board for the change of text- books, and was not inclined to surrender his righ {ter reflection he was unable to see how benefit would accrue to the schools by antagonizing the decision of the Commis- sioners. The whole difficulty was in the fact that the Commissioners were asked to become a party in introducing a book. Now that that had been done, he = it unwise to force action in the face of the decision, when it would not emenpap settle the rights of either arty. He was in favor of postponing the sub- ject, at least for the present. ‘ Mr. Lioyd, referring to Mr. Lovejoy’s re- marks, his attention to his having read | from the rules published in ‘76 and °7, and he claimed that by the recent proceedings the action of the old | board was regular.

Probably very few adults themselves know how poisonous peach stones are. The victim of the recent accident in Paris secreted the stones of a number of peaches, and, obtaining a hammer, when lef. alone, broke them open industriously and ate them; the result being that he was fatally poisoned by hydrocynic (prussic) acid. Since the peach Season {8 now upon us, it is as well to explain what quantity of poison the peach Stone possesses. Writers on texicology state that one ounce of the kernels contain about one grain of Rae brussic acid, and this quan- tity, it is well known, is sufficient to kill any adult person. Even two-thirds of a grain has very often proved fatal, and indeed may well be regarded as a fatal dose for any child.” SS CITY ITEMS.
