So far as his chances of securing redress from the Government are concerned he is not hopeful. The case will have to be in- vestigated and reports will be made on it for the next half year, but in the meantime he has a wifé and six children to care for and they can hardly afford to await the workings of the court of clajms. He has no clear idea what he will do about damages. The question of responsibility is a nice one. The property was bey the lfmits of the reservation, but it was destroved by Government embloyes.

WRIT OF PROHIBITION SAVES E. C. KILPATRICK JUDGE DAINGERFIELD GRANTS TEMPORARY RESPITE. Enjoins Board of Education From Deposing the Principal of the Business Evening School. 0 gation b: The Roard of Education ran against a snag last night in the shape of an alter- nate writ of prohibition issued by Judge Daingerfield, prohibiting it from taking any action against E. C. Kilpatrick, prin- cipal of the Business Evening School. A special meeting of the board had been called for the purpose of trying a number of teachers charged with incompetency, was also accused of unprofessional con- duct and insubordination, and there is|Shipwrights and Shipcalkers Refuse little doubt but for the issuance of the writ he would have been summarily deprived of his position. As it , the board was obliged to postpone action in his case, and the matter went over until next Monday night. Judge Daingerfleld’s action in issuing | the writ was based on the contention that | Kilpatrick having once been adjudged guiltless of the charges preferred against | him he could not again be placed in jeop- | ardy on identical rges. The writ returnable on April 25. | Kilpatrick's troubles date from August, 1896, when charges similar to thc men- tioned were preferred against him by Ger- aldine G. Donovan and Walter Bran, teachers in the Business Evening | Kilpatrick claimed that the charge instigated by Directors Ragan and gher, and on recommendation of is they were re. Rules Committee, to whi. ferred, they were dismissed. In Febru- charges w galn preferred obnoxious principal by Ral- Hooe, and the eigh P. sulted in Kilpatrick being dismissed from the department on March 23, 1868, He car- subsequent trial re- ried the case to the Superior Court, al- leging that he had not been accorded a fair and impartial trial by reason of prej- udice on the part of a majority of the Di- rectors, who he claimed were in a con- spiracy to oust him from his position. Judge Hunt on September 22, 1858, de- cided in his favor and ordered him re- instated. The old board appealed from this decision, but when the new board came into office the appeal was dismissed and Kilpatrick was reinstated on Febru- ary 10 of this year. r'resh char§(‘5 were almost immediately brought, however, and these were supplemented on March § by charges preferred by Walter S. Bran, and it was this batch of charges which the board intended to take up last night. The writ of prohibition took the board completely by surprise, but the Directors are confident that they will be sustained when the case comes up for argument. Kilpatrick is marked for decapitation, and while he may put off the fatal day by resorting to technicalities, his fate is sealed. Superintendent Webster announced that of the other teachers who were chargea with incompetency, some had resignea, others had retired and others were un- able to be present on account of illness, leaving but one teacher ready to stand trial, Mrs. Emma Pool, a teacher in the Haight primary, who desired that her case be considered behind closed doors. The request was granted and the board went into committee of the whole, with Vice President Head in the chair. 'When the board reconvened it was announced that Mrs. Pool had been dismissed for physical h:(‘omvelcn(‘f‘ with the under- standing that if within six months her disability had been removed a petition for reinstatement would be favorably considered by the board. —_————— Flor De Heyneman.

The betrothal was supposed to be a profound secret, the charming flancee having taken only a very féw of her very dear friends into her confidence, but the secret was too good to keep, and the “little bird” who always whispers of heart affairs nofsed the interesting news abroad. Miss Burling is the daughter of the late Willlam Burling and for a num- ber of years has been one of the lead- ing belles in select circles. Her many charming qualities, together with her magnetic personality, have endeared to her hosts of friends. Miss Burling comes of a family whose name is closely identified with the early com- mercial and social history of the State. In early d s Willlam Burling was a millionaire ockbroker whose name was a power on the street. During the past three years Miss © Lt SLIOLIOL LSOO SROLONOTIORAON @ DOLATSO e USASLIS SO S LY > OIS 40K Burling and her mother have made their home in Southern California, and it is only within a few months that they have once again taken up their home in this city. Dr. Page for three years has been stationed in Asiatic waters. Dur- ing the recent war he was in .the thick of the fight and was side by side with Dewey when the Spanish squad- ron met defeat in Manila Bay. The engagement of Miss Burling and Dr. Page is a matter of qulte long standing. For scven years Dr. Page waited and served faithfully for the little word that was to make g o 3 g 2 ped him the happiest of men. The doctor 2 comes from an old Virginia family & and his sisters are among the most $ beautiful of the many ndsome & women for which Virginia is famous. & Dr. e has been away for the past & three years but is expected here o about the fth of May. No definite & rrangements for the wedding h: & veen made, but it is known that it will take after the doc- & tor’s arrival and will'be a very quiet 3 affair. 3 | P DI e Be DD e eIE D EDeGeDEDEDEDE | | | | | to Labor for Boole & Son Until Daniel Barnes Resigns.

ART OF LILLIAN BURKHART THE RAYS OFFER THREE HOURS | OF WILD FUN. By Ashton Stevens. The prophets were busy last season promising us the death of the coon song. All the ‘“warm babies” and “chocolate ladies and the “hottest coons in Dixie” were to pay the price of over popularity with their lives. But for all these gloomy forecasts the coon song still lives its reckless rag-time life, lives it harder than ever. No vaudeville show, no farce comedy is complete without it. The adventures of the colored tenderloin, told in synco- pation, have taken a strong hold on the people. . Rag-time is more than a fad, it is a fact. In its sportive pumpkin- colored way it has made an original contribution to the folksong of Amer- ica. The text of most of these songs is more or less “tough.” Sung in the white man’s dialect it would be posi- tively objectionable in most cases; but when couched in the flash nigger's lingo even the frankest of the songs seem to make a humorous and harmless appeal to all sorts of people. The secret of the charm of the modern coon song is character. There is em- phatic character not only in the music, but in the stories to which it is set. el I heard a strong specimen at the Orpheum Sunday night when the new bill was put on. It was sung by Clarice Vane, a tall, angular, expressively vis- aged young woman with a voice just made for rag-time—hard, loud and faultless in articulation. The song is called “Gimme Back Dem Clothes,” and tells of a dusky wench who won at “craps!’ or ‘“‘policy” and gave her man the finest in the land—everything from silk hesiery to an 18-carat tooth. But he was indiscreet and they fell out and this is the chorus she sings: Gimme back dat overcoat I buyed yo’, Or.de papers will be full of rag-time news; Gimme back dat fancy checkered vest, Likewise dem socks and shoes; Just hand me over dat solid gold tooth —And take dem eyeglasses off-a ¥0' nose— Yo' bet?:: fioon-flch‘ but you won't have a stitel ‘When yo' hand me back dem clo’es. Miss Vance sings this song and others that are not so new with irresistible emphasis and sideplay. She has the value of the right word down to a nicety; and her entire work is some- thing more than mere music hall sing- ing—it is a sharp, clever study in char- acter. i 2 .

CURED BY CUTICURA ht years ago I got sore hands, commenc- ing with a burning sensation on my fingers and on top of the hand. When I rubbed them, you could see little white pimples. I felt like twist- ing my fingers out of their sockets. I had high fever, and cold chills ran over me, and so I kept it going until I was tired out. Nights, I had to walk the floor until I fell asleep. My hands peeled like an onion, the finger nails got loose, and the water ran out, and wherever there was a little pimple, there the burning fire was—that happened at least ten times. I am running a blacksmith shop, horse- shoeing, and I would not shut up the shop for anybody, but it was hard. My hands puffed up worse than a toad. When I drove horse nails, the water from my hands ran through the bandage, on to the floor. My customers refused to look at my hands. I hada friend take me to the doctor; he gave a solution of something to bathe my hands. I went to another doctor, I think for a year. I found your advertisement in a Utica newspaper, and I got the CUTICURA remedies. As soon as I used them I began to gain, and -after using a small quantity of them T was entirely cured.
