Your commit- tee found that they had no authority 1o cox pel the attendance of witnesses and cou not compel witnesses to testity under oath. Two public sessions of your committee have been held, at which all parties whom we thought could offer any material evi- dence were invited to be present, After a careful consideration of the testimony sub- mitted to your committee, we would réspect- ively state that we have found nothing that warrants the conclusion that any member of this board was unduly or improperly in- fluenced in the sclection of school desks, nor do we find any good reason for the opinion that any member of this board did receive any money or other consideration whatever for his influence or vote in the se- lection or purchase of school desks, Your committee find that W.

Marrow, an employe of this board, did receive the sum of #25 for working in behalf of the Grand Rapids Furniture company's school desk, which payment on the part of the fur- niture company we believe l.)‘m\'abfl(‘n made in bad faith, without a due regard to tne fairness and integrity of this board.

The Chicago Mail The cheerful manner in which Justice D. J. Lyon adminsters justice is remarkable. He has some of the most aggravating ¢ to dispose of but ulways muintaing his gentlemanly demeanor, and always has a kind word for the poor unfortun- ates that come before him. This morn- ing three sailors, named John Loeb, Con Reilly and Patrick MecClellan, were prisoners. They were rough- looking fellows, and the ofilcers told what tough men they were; and they were alw in alleys drinking beer from cans, and making it di reeable for the business men who have offices in the neighborbood. The defendants were much agitated, and the court thought it best to swear them. *‘You do solemnly swear, Mr. Reilly and Mr. Loeb,” began his honor, “that you will—and you, too, Mr. MecClellan— that you will—hold up your right hand —tell the truth—please take off your hat—Mr. Reilly—so help—hold up your right hand, please—so help—not your left hand—so0 help—kindly keep your hat off, siv—so help you Almighty God. Now, boys, tell your story.” The poor feliows were half scared to death, but the court’s gentle- ness wus something they had not ex- pected, and they summoned up enough courage to speak., They said they were hard-working sailors, nnd showed their hand to substantinte the statement. “We look rough,” said one, “‘but we are all right.”” “Oh, I will treat you just the same as if you were attived in {n‘u tcloth,” r rked the magistra “Somo people prefer to drink water from a dipper instead of a glass, and you gentlemen prefer the can for bee 1s not that so?” The gentlemen said they could not make that admission, I"ine cut glasses were just as good as cans, they thought, but dlu-y had never been so fortunate as to indulge in the luxury of drinking from fancy glisscs. Well, you may go this morning; keep out of alleys,” was the decision. “Aro you heve again, Miss Keating?” in- quired Justice Lyon, asn pretty, brown- oyed little woman was brought befora Lim. Mary Keating is one of the un- fortunates “who walk the downtown streets. During the last month she has had to pay fines amounting to no less than sixty dollars, ‘1 am poing to allow you to go this morning, my girl, Pleaso try and not come before me agnin,” was the decision, in a very kindly tone. And so with all the cases. The court appealed o their better na- tures, and in nine cases of ten the re- sult wus good.
