The superintendent of the city schools, Mr. Mott, makes a requisition on Supt Wiueberg for the txx ks he thinks needed, and Mr. Wineberg in turn makes a requisition on the state superintendent who issues the

order for the books to the hve concerns which supply them under contract with the state. The books are shipped to the county superintendent direct and turned over to the city superintendent and other corporations for whom they havt been ordpred.

When the books are sold the superintendents turn the money over to

Mr. Wineberg, who s?nds it to the

concerns which suppl'ed the books.

In this citv Mr. Mott receives the

books and distributes them to the

different srrade teachers who make

actual saving is less than d per cent., not enough to recompense for the annoyance it is to the teachers aad superintendents.

lowing w&icb is ot interest to uicnmond pecp'e: ' w .Tt-H ... In the supreme court at D.'dbam vesterdav u decrer ni-i for nullity "was granted in the divorce libel of Mabel Jolly against Rev. William Bayard Hale, the former Episcopal clergyman, who is so well known in this state. The original petition alleged insanity as a ground foi- the divorce, but, upon oojection, this was withdrawn. The charges brought iacluded extreme cruelty and the frequent use of profane language on the part of Mr. Ha'e toward his wife. Rev. Dr. W. B Hale, esteemed as one o" the most brilliant minds in the

Episcopal church, was settled in Middleboro in 1894, where his energy and talent soon found recognition in the construction of a $40,000 church. He achieved a reputation by his r .dical views on church purity and cs

a student of sociology. His article in the Forum in which he scathingly arraigned church entertainments, "Would St. Paul hold a pink tea or ballet dance in his church at Ephesus?" attracted general public notice. His criticism was taken as applying to certain other Middleboro churches and stirred up considerable feeling. " In 18!S he was a preacher during

j lenten week at ist. Paul s, Boston j where his eloquence made a profound ' impression.

His engagement to .miss .Maoei Jollv. the daughter of a prominent

mprfhunt. aroused the

opposinuu ui .u a. x iciic, " v . . iest parishioner, and he excommuni cated the latter from the church. The wedding took place in June, lSy9, in St. Paul's, Boston, after he had resigned his Middleboro pastorate and became rector of a church in Ardmore, near Philadelphia. During the course of a wedding trio abroad Rev. and Mrs. Hale spent

gome time visiting the Duchess of

Marlboro. They lived together less than six months, since which time Mrs. Hale has been residing in Brookline with her father and mother. Tbe mildest of her allegations against Mr. Hale was that he treated her with extreme cruelty and addressed her with profanity. Since the separation Mr. Hale has abandoned the ministry and pursued a varied career, in the insurance business, as an editor, in other literary work, and, notably, as a stump : speaker for Bryan.

TRACTIOT LINES. The Committee Meets and Discusses the Ordinance to be Presented at Next Council Meeting. The activitv which is bioir dis-

of j plaved by the local traction company I irdicates that matters in that retard i are procressinir. although 'helices

which were so numerously represented here earlier in the fall do not appear to be paying any attention to to this city. It begins to look as if the city lines proper were to be assumed by the local com pan v whose. , franchise covers nearly every street in the city. Thouyh they have not au exclusive franchisee, since ttat is impossible under the laws of the state, they are first on tbe ground and another company would hardly care to lay trucks beside thpirs if , they once get their traetcs down. Then, too, it would be hardly desirable to have tracks ! doubled on the streets. The ordinance committee met last evening, at the city cWk's office, all members present. The committee, consists of Messrs. Deuker, Kemper and O'Neal. The local traction company was represented by Messrs. Smith, LonU and Freeman. The ordinance with regard to interurban lines was fully discussed, bit nothing was done. The commit

tee will meet again before having tne ordinance framed, and it will be presented at the next session of council. The committee are endeavoring to draft an ordinat ce in regard to interurban lines which shall be so arranged that all companies desiring to come in now or hereafter can get in on the same basis. The ordinance will, the committee sav, be such as will protect all the companies as well as tbe interest of tbe city by making it equitable for all. S irce members of the committee seem to favor putting a charge on the use of th streets, stmu!atin' an amount to be pa;d by
