Snultze—Ii it were not that we are to get our little one’s books cheaper, we would never be able to send them to | school this year, and even as it is, the | books cost twice as much as they have in previous years. The children are unable to use t.eir brothers’ books, and the whole thing is an outrage, which should immediately b looked into. It is hara enough as it is to svare our children togo to school, without having so much extra expense besides. 4 “If the papers ever battled against any- thing they should fight against this impo- sition to the tax-payers o: San Francisco.” In some portions of the City there is talk of a united refusal to buy the new books. Parents are becoming determined in their opposition to what they consider | an outrage. The directors are trying to { look as though they were unaware of the | turinoil, but it is rumored they are al- ready seeking to withdraw from the pre- dicament they have placed themselves in, | and an announcement that ai least some It will cost the proud parents of San | Francisco $4800 to have their children taught pretty littie stories about kitties that went “meow’’ and little birds that went *‘tewheat.” That is “‘heart culture,” | and Superintendent Webster has decided that heart culture is a good thing. A dol- lar’s worth of heart culture in doses of 25 cents each has been introduced into the school course, and that is part of the rea- son why fathers are irate. The Superintendent and the Board of | School Directors thought pupils should | learn some more about prefixes, suffixes, [ roots and derivatives. As a result of that idea parents will put their hands in their pockets and purchase $7080 worth of new | word analyses. T.at is another part of | the reason why book-purchasing parents | are prone to say anvthing unprintable. | A few more portions oi that very com- | prehensive reason are found in the sub- joined table.

For instance, it will be noticed the first grade has apparently escaped the deiuge. Superintendent Webster bas pro- | vided for them by sending a “‘suggestion,” so urgent as to be generally considered imperative to the principals abolishing the time-honored slate. That means that | the wee tots are to use blue paper pads. And that means a bigger ou.lay. The table does not begin 1o represent the additional cost of books of this year over las.. By rearranging the course and putting the books into the hands of the pupils from one or two years earlier than heretofore the expense is added to every grade. In the fourth grade each pupil's books cost $215 more than last year. in the sixth $255 more and so on. The fathers of the fourth-grade children throughout the City will pay $10,095 more for books this year than last and the iathers of sixth-grade pupils will pay $8287 50 more. All over the City the parents are natur- ally voicing their objections. It is not alone those upon whom the additional dollars come as a serious burden that are objecting. There is a feeling among all classes that they are b-ing imposed upon. Mrs. Larkin, 14 Priest sireet, said: “The idea of changing books this year is ridiculous. I have been abie to send only two of my children to school on account of the extra amount 1o be paid. ““The idea of calling the school system free here! The schools of America can- not be compared to those of London, There everything is free—textbooks, blanks and writing materials—and yet they talk of the schooi system in the United States. *My little boy bought the books they told him the first day, and when he brought them to school they proved to be oi no use to him. Such expense as that poor people like myself cannot afford. | There 1s a little store across the way from the Denman School, which is the one my children attend, where the cuildren were told to buy their books.” Mis. J. Hamel of 4 Reid street, speak- ing of the new books said: “The books this year have cost me from §7 to §9, which during these times 1 can- not well afford. “My younzer children cannot use the books their older brother and sisters used | were In the lower classes. | when they There were so many unnecessary artic e« they needed, for instance that book called ‘Heart Culture,’ and the bags for their books—why can’t they carry them any way they wisn? If they are ashamed of the children’s rag ed books, why can’t they have them printed ana sold for such a price one can afford to buy them new, instead of second and third hand, as is now the case? My children were obliged to get their books at a certain firm, and the teacher even went so far as 1o write the name of the firm on the children’s list.” Mrs. M. E. Wendt of 1509 Leavenworth street is one of the most indienant. “What better can we expect from such a board ?” she remarked. *They are trving 10 patronize a few firms here, and for that reason they sacrifice the poor parents. They insisted that my children should get & certain kind ot blank book that was mede by certain firms, and the books | have printed on them 5 cents, but when it comes to buy them they make the chii- dren pay 10 cents. “Another peculiar thing is the idea of having two arithmetics and two readers in one grade.

Powers was first-base man on his team, and in the first inning the ball was thrown to him from the field. The batter had got to second base and wasrunning for third, when Powers threw up his right arm to throw the ball to third base. As he threw it forward ne felt something snap, and his arm fell powerless by his side. The ball, instead of going in thedi- rection of third base, went toward second base. Powers did not feel any pain for a min- ute or so, till he attemnted to raise his arm. Then he gavea howl of pain and retired from the field, another man being substituted in his piace. Powers was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital, where Dr. Tt ompson found that the right humerus was fractured about the center. The doctor expressed the opinion that it would be months before Powers would have the proper use of his arm again, and that it would require to be carefullv attended to. About three months ago a similar acci- dent happened to a player in Central Park, but the bone of his arm was broken in two places, _ . THE SWISS OUTING.

BOB AND JM ARE DICKERING The Big Fighters May Soon Meet in the Prize- Ring. Their B_usiness Interests Will Surely Compel Them to Do Battle. Three Interesting Limited Bouts Ar- ranged Under the Auspices of the St. George's Club. The “‘manly art of self-defense’’ sounds well, but is not pitched in the key of the =" S\ = mits to bring off battles worthy of public patronage. In the meantime the St. George's Club, a bona-fide institution, regularly incorpo- rated, and a promoter of athletics for many years, is pushing to the front, en- deavoring to give genuine sport, just as did the Olympic Athletic Club. Itis to be boped that their earnest efforts will be | more successful next Wednesday than was their first, some months ago, and more satisfactorv than thuse which forced the Olympic Club back into amateur athletics after repeated failures to pro- mote professional events. “‘It is all dollars and cents now,” one of the clubmen stated yesterday., ‘‘It isn’t the men who are the cleverest or the most closely maiched; it is the men whose names are best known who are wanted, re- gardless of their relativ equality or abii- ity to give a clever display of the manly art, “There is Fitzsimmons. He defeated Corbett at Carson, and nothing on earth, be declared, would cause him to enter the ring witn him again. Now it is almost a seitled thing they are to fight once mora. Why? Becau ea business concern—the Veriscope Company—will force them into it, on a pure matter of business, to protect their own interests. Here is the story as I bear it: Dan Stuart, who put up all the money to bring off the Corbett-Fitzsim- mons fight, had to take in both of them on the profits of the veriscope. From the exhibitions of the latter over the world they expected to make tneir big money. However, it was the first experience in tiis kind oi vhotography, and it resulted in a virtual failure. Now the Sharkey- Maher fight is pending, and rival photog- raphers sre 1n the field, who may profit by the mistakes of their predecessors, “Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Brady and Stu- art cannot aillow any one to reap the ben- efit of their preliminary work, and regard- less of anything tothe contrary said by Fiizsimmons he will again faca Corbett in the ring beiore another pear.” Harry Corbett, broiher of the ex-cham- pion, hesitated before speuking on the subject yesterday. *‘It would not surprise me in the least if the wires would soon flash the news that they have signed to meet again,’”” he said. Tom Ball, Hcavy-Weigh& of Eng- land, Who Will Fight Henry Baker Twenty Rounds on Wednesday Evening at Wood- ward’s Pavilion Under the Auspices of the St.George Club, ordinary prizering events of the present times. The local c'ubs that foster fistic encounters are fighting aganst each other when they are not pooling their issues against some one or two kindred institutions. They have done 380 much in that line that the authorities have taken a hand in it, and it is not unlikely that the one or two man clubs, like the Groom and Gibbs and the Ellinghouse concerns, will hereafter bave a hard time securing per- In the meantime whils the big guns are thinking about the advisability of going into the ring the St. George’s club has made up a foirly good card for Wednes- dzy night. There will be three events in the heavy, welter and light weight classes, the batte between Lon Agnew and Dick Case, at a Iittle over 140 pounds, promising to be an exceptionally good one. Case has shown that _he knows his busi- ness by polisning off “Spider” Kelly cleaner than he has ever been polished off before, and Agnew, who when not fight- ing is a laundryman, has friends enough who believe in his ability to whip Case that Jim Carr, the veteran pugilist and backer, finds it difficult to collect enongh money to cover the bets offered against his Denver man. The heavyweight event will be between Tom Ball and Henry Baker, a twenty- roand affair. Ball is a clever man with his fists and a bard hitter. He is but 24 years old and weighs over 170 pyunds packed in solidly within his five feet \ight inches in hight. He is a native of Nog- land and, like Tom Sharkey, he has been identified with the navy and commercial marine service. He has foueht thirty- four battles, twenty-six of which he has won, three he has lost and the rest were draws. While be has fought most of bis batties in America, his opponents are not sufficiently known_in the fistic world to give a good 1dea of his worth. The fifteen-round contest between Jimmy Whalen ana Billy Armstrong would probably be better if the limit were set at ten rounds, as Armstrong is not at his best outside of ten rounds. As a mat- ter of fact, it has been shown that while he does splendidly for five or six rounds he peters out completely aiter that num- ber. To stay the fifteen rounds he will l Lave to keep away and not give the public the benefit of his full speed. REFDSES T0 PLAY OLD AN PARTS Actor Carlyle Quits the Al- cazar and Sues for Salary. When Detailed to Play ‘‘Gen- eral Smolinsky” His Profes- sional Pride Revolted. Manager Thall Says the Actor Im- agined He Was Manager of the Entire Theater. Francis Carlyle, leading man of the Alcazar, has been supplanted temporarily by J. M. Colyille, kindly loaned by the Frawley Company-—and thereby hangs a tale, Mr. Carlyle is as much of a fighter as the illustrious Toomas Carlyle of Stonehenge, for he has hired Colonel Kowalsky to do battle for him in the courts and decided to fight for the salary of leading man, which 1n this case is the snug sum of $100 a week. The story may be told in a few sentences, accordiug to Mr. Carlyle and according to Manager Thall of the theater. “I was hired as leading man,”’ said the actor last night, *‘with my own choice of varts. They put me to playing old men’s parts, orstried to, and I quit. Old men’s paris are out of my line.”” ‘When the actor was asked to play Gen- eral Smolinsky in the play called “I'urk vs. Greek” be at once left the theatre and ordered a new programme entitled, “Carlyle vs. Thall.”” He will claim the full «alary for every week of the contract, which has six months more torun. Manager Thall says thers was such a contract, but that the actor was hired as general utility man and not as manager of the theater. *“We put on a chestnut called ‘Rosedale’ to suit him and it hurt our business. We asked him to take parts in at least a dozen plays, but he threw 1he plays down every time and turned up his nose. “‘He is a good actor, nodoubt. All who know him well will also admit that he has a pleasing sense of his own worth, an 1n- ternal consciousness of bis many merits; but he must do as we say or let Kowalsky feed him. He cannot expect the Aicazar to pay his way unless he will act. He surely bos th ability to play in some other play than ‘Rosedale,’ 'but we cot weary trying to find where he could use his tal- ents and told him he could go. “We ordered him to report for parts at rehearsal, but he yelled out belore every- body that he would not play the parts for the sum $1000 a week. Our attorney says we are soud, and I for one will fight him all my life rather than accede to his ae- mands. I would rather drive a streetcar than give un.” Meantime Colonel Kowalsky is as firm on the other side, and he <ays without any hesitation that the theater will be oblized to pay the salary for the entire period of the contract.

Help for Those Now Here, but Dis- couragement to the Plan of Invit- ing Others to Come. There was a mgeting of Jews interested in thecolonization echeme of Ephraim Dei- nardat the Temple Nevat Zedek yesterday afternoon. Speeches were made by Rev. Dr. M. 8. Levy and by Rev. Dr. Isador Myers. They dwelt on the subject of the Jew as an agriculturist and siated that they believed it would be a zood thing for the race to turn its attention to the soil as in the olden days of its bistory. Mr. Deinard, who is at the head ot a colony of thirty-tive families from Penn- sylvania, stated that his people were not asking for any great aid. He thought they would be able to support themselves if once transported to the proposed agri- cultural colony. Dr. Myers said he was in favor of giving them all proper aid in their attempts 1o pecome farmers, though he did not be- lieve that other Jews ougnt to be en- couraged to come to the West with the idea that they could get help here and that there would be no trouble to succeed as farmers. He said he had seen the Jewish people of other countries succeed in agri- culture, particularly in Palestine, and he thought those who bad given proper at- tention to the business would be able to succeed here. Rev. Dr. Levy was greatly in favor of doing ail within reason to aid those colo- nistsin the City, but he thought it ought 1o be set forth very plainly that no more families are desired here until this exper- iment has been fully demonstrated to be a success. He said there was some dis- couragement in the Jewish colonization schemes of the vastin this State, and he referred to the Orangevale colony in Sac- ramento County and to the Porterville colony. He said he believed Jews could become good farmers in time, but he was afraid aid given here would,if injudicious'y advertised, cause other families to rush into the West without sufficient provisions or proper precautions, resulting in fail- ure. Still, an the whole, he favored the giving of aid 1o the colonists now here. As chairman of the meeting Dr. Levy appointed the following to act as a com- mittee to raise money to pay the fares of the men now here to the proposed colony in Oregon or Calaveras County: H. Cra- mer, 8. Lichtenstein, T. Brilliant, E. Strumsky sna M. Augenblick. A subscriplion was then iuken up for the p get away and the sum of $100 was raisec. —————— Robbed a Saloon.
