A WARM TIME. —_— ~#1The Board of Edncation Jump Oat of One Lntanglement Into Avother, An Exciting and Interesting Scene in Last Nights Meetin g—Heated Passions and Clenched Fiste, The Board of education went through two scenes last night that were somewhat dramatle In interest and qulte exclting to those who were quiet witnesses. For a long time the board has been wrangling more or loss in every meeting over propo- sitions to finally decide what kind of heating apparatus to place In the Hart- man and Castellar school buildings when they are comploted. Members have been somewhat at a loss frequently to know what to do. Some were dead set )| to adopt what Is known as the Ruttan 7 | system, and some were just as tenaclously dead set to give ownera of other systems a chance, while one or two expressed themselves as belog ready and willing to coincide with whatever a msjority agreed on. Advocates of the Rattan system, trled to make it appear that the board had at some time previously com- mlttzd itself to the Ruttan system, there- fore was In duty bound to adopt that without farther parleying, or be sub- jected to the annoyance of a salt for dam- agee. Those who stood out for giving 5|evergbody an equal show econted at the idea of belng commlitted, and offered to stand the brunt of all damage sults that might be brought by the Ruttan people. Lest night Mr. O. 8. Condit, a representative of the Rattan sya- tem, made his - appearance be- before the board, having come up from Kansas City yesterday to try and get the matter settled so that he should know what to do. On motlon of Mr. Copeland 1t was brought up for consideration. Mr, Hall immediately moved that the secre- tacy be Insiructed to advertiss for bids, and this cpened the ball. Mr. Copeland, of course, spoke firat, and nearly every member was on his feet thres or four tlmes to talk. Some of them got warm ;(and showed conslderable feeling. The vice presldent, Mr. Gibbon, asserted that membors of the board had been accused by outsiders of belog connested with crooked work simply and solely bacause they had been nervy enough to advocate their preferences for a system of heatin, in all the echool buildings, and that, the Ruttan eystem. For his part, he ex- pressed himself as feellng a little weary over hearing these absurd reports and thought that the board would be making nionles of themselves to take a change of base now. While Mr. Hall is friendly to the Ruttan system, and thinks It a good one, still he believed In giviog everybody a chance to compete. Mr. Coleman averred that his constituency would not be satlsfied to believe that the board hed performed its duty unless they ascertalned, through bids, juet how cheaply the work can be done. Mr. Liveey stood out for the Rauttan system, but Mr. Long favored the proposition to advertlse for bide. As stated in the regular report elsewhere of the proceedings, the board happlly re- leased itself from that entanglement by adopting Mr, Hall's motion, It was specified that bldders will be compalled to state the weight, power and capabilities of their apparatus. No sooner had the heat of th's ba'tle blown away than ac. other flashed over the board, but this thme it was on a question of parlla- mentary law. The committee on teach- ers and text books made its report, which is glven 1o the proceedings and after the chairmen, Mr. Long, had com- pleted the resdiog of eald report Mr, Copeland moved an amendment to it, which amendment was to the effect that the names of Mlsses Elllott and Tloock be placed at the head of the list, It was seconded by Mr. Hall, but befo:e the chalrman could get a chance to ssy snything Mr. Long moved that the toport of the commlittee be adopted, Mr, Long was 8o mad that he trembled and looked pale. He scored the board up and down by declaring that thore was not & member In it with sufficient respect for reports of committees to make a motlon, either to adopt or reject them, leaving that duty for the committee to perform on its own &csount, or be treated with contempt, . Mr. Copeland called for his amend- ment and Mr. Long arose to & point of order, The chair ruled that a committee ranimrt could not be amended, To this ruling Mr, Hall took an appeal, With a swift and terrific descent of his fist on the top of his desk, Mr. Long sald that the commlttee desired to withdraw ita report. The appsal was not sustalned the vote standing two and two, three members not voting and the secre- tery decided that the chalrman galned bis polnt. During this mixed state of affairs the repori of the commlitee was adopted. Oopeland, Coleman, Connoyer, of Cashing, Il they couldn't make up their minds. At the meeting one week ago this same question was ralsed, and presi- dent Points ruled that after a committee had mado its report a motlon shou'd fel- low, elther to accept sald report or re- ject it. Then after sach & motion, mo- tions to amend were in order, On thie raling, appeal was taken and the pres- ident g t down on bard, The matter is not eettled, —— - The White oftice—121 North 15th street, has *‘Antomatic machlnes, no ten- elon, ove spocl, no thuttle.” They a'so have a grand trade ¢n the New White Lock Stitoh, Ols, needles, ete., for all machinee, BOARQ OF EDUCATION. Bids for a Sidewalk Along the High Sahosl Bailding, Opsned, A Warm Discussion Over the Subject of Adopting the Ruitan Heat- Ing System -Bids to be Advertised For. Tho adjourned meeting of the olty School Board was held last evening, with Vice-President Gibbon In the chair. Connoyer, Clark, Long, Hall and Cope- land answered to the roll call. Bids for laylng sldewalk along the High School grounds on Twentieth straet, from Dodge to Davenport strects, were recelved, opened and read. E. J. Dickensen’s bid was 32 cents per superficial foot, thres inches thick, and of Ovlorado sandstone, Benj. Milqulst offera to do the work at 35 centa per foot, Oharles O'Conner’s bld includes artifi- cial stone on sandstone foundation at 224 cents, or granolithic on concrete founda- tlon at 38 cents per foot. John R. McKenzle & Co, will farnish o flagg walk of sandstone, two Inches thick, at 18 cents, or three inrhes thick atj2? centa, 00 and Delaney propose to do the work at 37§ cents with Joliet blue stene bush hemmered, warranted to stand frost. A bid from the Coal, Tile and Brick company, of Boone, Iowa, proposes to do the work wlth tile blocks lald in sand at 14 cents per square foot; lald in cement 16 cents. Hugh Murphy offers to put down the kind of walk desired, at 18 cents, using Venning artificial stone. J. B, Ridfield says he will put down the sidewalk at 20 conts per square foot. W. J. Buckley, put In a bid at 28, 30 and 32 centa per foot, accordlng to thick- ness, The Barber Asphaltum company put Inabidat 20 cents per equare foot, making the walk of trinldad sheeting asphaltum, with concrete bass, After these bids had heen read on mo- tion of Mr. Lung the board went into committee of the whole to consider them, with Mr. Long in the chalr. The bids were separated Into classes relative to material proposed, and discuesed at con- sldesable length. Fioally Mr. Gibbon moved that the bld of Mr. Radfield, which proposes an artlficlal walk made of Grant slagging &and stone, ba accepted. Mr. Coleman opposed this motion, He thought the matter ought to be referred to the building committee, Mr. Hall wanted the mover to give an explanation of his idea for so moving. So far as he was concernad himself, he sald, ‘I came here favorable to the nat- ural stone sldewalk, but have been con. vinced since that in all probabllities the other is the best.” Mr. Gibbon stated that his princlpal objeot in making the motlon, was to gat the matter properly before the board. Mr. Livsey expressed himself as being favorable to referring the matter to a commlttee. Mr. Copeland expreesad himself favor- able to the tile sidewalk. On motion of Mr. Colemsn the com- mittee of the whole arose, recommending that the matter be referred to the com- mittee on bulldings and property. Mr. Gibbon agaln resumed the dutles of chalrman, and Mr. Copeland moved that the matter of heatlog for school buildings be taken up. Before this was taken up, however, % | Messrs. Clark and Livesy, the speclal committee appointed to arbltrate Edwarc Brennon's clalm against the board, made thelr report. It was to the effact that this commlttee, with Fred Drexel as an arbltrator, met Brennon, but he had not selected his man then and asked until next Tuesday before doing anything. The committee agreed to meet him then, providing he would sign an sgreement to ablde by the declsion of & majority of the board. = This he refused to do. This re- port of the committee was read, and the committee discharged. * Mr, Connoyer moved that the amount due the Union Paclfic rallroad, $497.88, by Brennon, for material furnished, be allowed, 80 as to relleve an innocent party. In dlscussing this matter an almost unanimous feeling was expressed agsinst showing Brennon any sympatby what. ever until he has fully complied with his contract. The motion was lost, ) Mr, Copeland ralsed for consideration the matter of heatlng and ventilating the Farnam and Castellar streot school building. Mr. Hall, anxlous to get through and go hompe, made a motlon that the :eccre- tary be instructed to advertise for bids, s3id bids to be opened next Monday night. That motion brought Mr. Ccps- land to his feet as an advocate in favor of adopting the Ruttan system without any further fooling around or wasting of tlme, Ho atated that Mr. Condlt, a rep- resentative of the Rattan system, was present and could give the board any informatlon deslied. Mr, Gibbon thought that unlees the board has no preference, it was unneces- sary to ueeleesly expend money advertls— ing forbids, All, he felt, were preferable to the Ruttan system, therefore If theee preferences should be taken Into consid- eratlon, then there would be but one bidder. Meesrs, Hall, Long, Livsey and Ooleman took an active part In the dls- The motion to advertlse was committee on teachers and text books resommended that the superinten- dent be entrusted to asslgn the following teachers In the order named as vacancies may occur, Such teachers will not be entitled to any compensation or salary until they are aseigned ,to duty ander this order, Villa M.

Burg- lara tools were found lsylng ecattered over tho floor, showing that they had gone prepared to effect an entrance at all hazarde, The money drawer had been torn from Its place and was found yesterdsy morning lsylng outslde in the alley. But it 'did not confain eny money. The cash box of the safo was aleo taken out. Some cauned goods and a few small articles of grocerfes are mlacing.

The Joys of an Oceen Trip From Balti- moré 1o Boston, —_— Moonlight on a Mirrored Ses, and Other Aesthetic Delicacies — Scenes in Boston Harbor, Special Correspondence of the B, Bosrox, Jaly 10.—Monday the 22d of June we left Washington at mlid.day for Baltimore, and after an hours ride, more or less, reached that cily of gazelle-eyed glrls and hobbly streets, drove at once to the wharf and bearded the steamer *‘De- oantor’ H. Miller,” of the Mocrchant and Miners transportatlon company bound for Boaton. After getting settled In the upper deck state rooms, to be nearer the sky and captain for safety, wo had ample tlme to watch the loading up of human and vegetable fralght, and how differently different people do load up! With eyes on baggsge smashers—Inter— esting fellows—and ears turned for the chattering of musical friends who had come down to ssy hail and farewell. 1 felt no Impatlence to be off, for though the day was rather too hot to be comfortable on Jand, a deliclous breezs swept acroes the deck, making parting a sweet sorrow, But the beet of friends must part, and at 3 o’clock, the appointed hour for startlng, my frlends and other people's frlends sald adleu, but as stesm vessels are not 8o prompt to the minute as steam cars, though both are run by the “Iron horse” there Is a elight difference In the fellows who hold the relns, the vessel having an obliging captain who has scme heart and sympathy for tender-hearted lovers weep- Ing on soft shoulders, while the terrifyin car conductor is & hardened wretoh an will walt for no man except the boss. The captain gave us time to talk at long range and flutter handkerchiefs and Enu. ‘What would a summer jaunt be without all these little nothings that go to fill in the odd moments and help us throw care to the dogs, and have a good tlme? Well, the steamer welghed anchor and glided down Chesapeake bay, which was a8'smooth as a mirror. I dreamlily looked at the objects of Interest being polnted out. I have forgotten what they were— I think they had something to do with the war, they always do have—of 1812, But having acoess to the congressional library, with its one or two volumes of war history, and having met a Washing- ton lleutenant and his staff, such as gen- erals, colonels, etc., besides reading the Washington Sunday papers felt no great amount of enthusiasm for the points of interest that had a war history. It was slmply heavenly to forget there ever had been a war and strife on this beautl‘ul land, and enjoy the blue sky, draped in ita floecy white clouds, and be fanned by the Invigorating breezs while playing hide and seek with the sun, a bit of Innocent psst tlme that beams no harassing thoughts to make frightful dreams. At G o’clock we were called below to a very tempting supper, and 1t {s something to be at the right of the captain and his good wife at the supper table, it insures prompt attention from the walters and attentlon generally, we all like it. The twilight and moonlight blended into a long, delightful evening on the deck, and 1t was with regret I ‘‘turned in” for the night. Tuesday morning I awoke to find the steamer at the Norfolk wharf, where we spent the day, the boat taking on more freight, such as early string beans, patatoes, cabbages and people. Some of our party chaperoned by Capt. Frank Howes and his wife went over to ‘‘Vir- ginia Beach,” a new summer resort, by the cars In a half hour’s ride. Of course this 18 to be the *‘Coney Ietland” of the future, so we were told by enthuslastic speculators, Possibly, but at present a most barren spot with a good deal of ocean, high surf and a blg hotel. Pleasure-starved people ard mosqnltoes have a good time trying to declde which shall have the right of way. With the sun bolling your plood by day and these ‘‘pesky skeeters” drainlng your blood at nlght, sarely thls mast be a de- lightful epot to spend the heated term. Yet all things are possible with enterpris- ing people. 1 can remember when Corey Island was a less inviting epot, and now what a heaven on earth. ‘‘Virginia Beach” may be made delightful some day, I hope so. I was told that “fo’ the war Norfolk was a big town,” just now it looks drow- zy, an though it might be taking an after- noon nap; everybopy seem. too lazy for thought, even, the only activity belng the loadlng and unloading the vessels on the wharves. The labor wasdone by negroes, who keep up a constant talking and yelling; so nsed are they to belng yelled at that If there {s no white *“boss’ to do It, they yoll at each other, keeping up a constant clatter and bang. One active Yankeo would do the work of four negroes, and in less timo. I marked the sharp contrast of labor sfter reachiug Boston in the unload- ing of the vessel. Reaching Boston too late In the evening for the Fltohburg traln, I remained on board the boat; and although about a hundred men were busy on the wharf and unloading the boat, so quletly was the work performed our sleep was not In the least disturbed, It was & strange novelty staying on the boat that night. There wore but a few patsengers besldes our party who remalned, the rest going to their respective homes and hotels. The scene about the harbor was wlered and strange, with a perfect forest of masts and flag-staffe, *|through which were seen the different lights of the vessels and the gas jets of the city beyond, with the silver sheen of the moonlight upon the water, all added to the plctureequeness of the novelty of & night spent in Boston harbor, and the many tales told by the jolly kind.hearted mate may have bad something to do with the pleasant dresmy that followed. But to go back to Tuesiay night—afier leav- Ing Norfolk, we were soon out to sea and a more glorious night I never experl- enced, The moon round and full, the air fe!t cool enough to make light wraps comfortable; simply a perfect night for happiniss and rest, and with plea:- companions what else could one wish! Wednesday morning we were far out in the ocean, forty miles from land, and so calm was the old ocean that the most delicate felt no loss of appetite for breakfest, much to the captaln’s regret, for, as he good-naturedly told vs, something was to be galned by the pag sengers being sss-slck, The day was altogether too short eo pleasant was it, and then followed snother magnificent night, Thursday at4a m, we were aroused to see the sun come cut of his ocean bed as rosy and emiling as a round- faced baby. I enjoyed the eight and vig- orous air, and here we were In sight of land agafn, Returning to the state- rooms agsin I took a nap. Itlsa trifie dangerous to stlr around much on shipboard before breakfast, ss I found. Thoraday was another perfect day and night, *‘and parling came too soon.” 1 could have wished this de- lightful voyage on the Decatur H. Miller, siling over a summer sea, to last for months, I was standing on the ‘‘captain’s bridge,” on the top of the vessel, when wo steamed up Boston harbor, and a great slght it was, So plessant was the journey that I shall return by the same routs In Septembar, and In the meantime I expect to tell yon much of my visltin the Yankee lan: Division of “Steve” Dorsey's Ranch, Special Corrospondence of the (lobe-Demo crat, Santa Fe, N.

R G. Ingersoll, for the littlo they held In the company and then become the sole owner of the largest cattle ranch in New Mexlco. Alley had succeeded so well in his plans as to get one or two men who wero Interested In the company and who clatmed to be loyal fr'ends of Dorsey's to aid him in his work, no doubt thinking they would get a good slice of the loaf themselvea. Mr. Dorsey has for a number of months been aware of the treachery of some of his pretended friends and the pet desire of the presldent, so last spring he went east with the sole purpose of buying Alley’s interest or forclng him to a divl- slon of the cattle. After several months of hard work Mr. Dorsey succeeded just a few days since in securing the consent of the other members of the company to divide, as they would not sell. The agreement 1s about as follows: Of the 60,000 head of cattle Dorsey gets eight to Alley’s, Neleon’s and Ingersoll's eleven, and one half the 50,000 acres of patented land, which controls a range of about 150 miles equare. This will leave Doraey with about 25,- 000 head of good graded cattle, worth $750,000, and a ranch worth $200,000 moye. 60]. Dorsey and his wife arrlved in Springer, N.

It basa fascination for me which I cannot shake off, I was at the battle of Gettysburg myeelf, and an incldent occurred there which largely changed my views of the southern people. 1 had been a most bitter anti-south msn, and fought and ocursed them desper- ately. I could see nothing good in any of them, The last day of the fight I was badly wounded. A ball shattered my left leg. I lay on the ground not far from Cemetery Rldge, and as Gen. Lee ordered his last retreat he and hls officors rode around me. As they came along ,I recognized him, and though faint from exposure and loss of blood, I ralsed up my hands, lookéd Gen. Lee the face and shouted as as I could, ‘Hurrah for the Unlon!" The general heard me, looked stopped his horee, dlsmounted, and came toward me. I confess that I at first thdught he meant to kill me. But as he csme up he looked down at me with such a sad expression upon hls face that all fear left me, and I wondered what he was about, He extended his hand to me, and grasped mine firmly, and look- ing Into my eyes, sald: “‘My son, I hope’you will soon be well.” “If I live & thousand years 1 shall never forget the expresslon In General Lee's face. There he was, defeated, re- tirlng from a field that had cost him and his cause almost their last hope, and yet he stopped to say words like those to a wounded soldler of the opposition who had taunted him as he pasced by.

He followed his lnnovations in the bureau of statistics by blossoming out as one of the best dressed representatives of the new administration. Then he ap- peared n the soolety columns of the Washington papers as prominent as a re- cent wedding. For a week a large and fine portralt f the colonel has graced the window of one of the leading art stores in Pennsylvania avenue.

Switzler, a Mis- sourian aud a democrat, who haw heen duly stamped as ‘‘gennine” by his sp- pointment to & high office, appeared at the tabernacle and delivered a temper- ance lecture, The hall was filled, many having evidently came In expectation of hearlng the harrowing experlence of a reformed drunkard who hsd murdered his grandmother or done something like that, The colonel, however, stond up before his hearers as a life-long abstainer and he talked temperance straight from the shounlder, and counseled vigorous meagures fu dealing with the rum power, Ooming from & democrat and s Missour! democrat at that, a resident of the com- monwealth which gave to Washington John Ohamberlin and Joe Ricky, Col, Switzler's leoture was a novelty. e — Amerloan Diarrha:y Cure for Dysen- tery and Summer complaint.
