ors. ASSETS IN EXCESS OF THE LIABILITIES. Effort to Enlist Additional Capital Was Not Successful Although the Location Is Considered a Good One. Saturday of this week the property of the Richmond Hat Manufacturing company, which has had a strenuous existence since ' its organization, two or three years ago. will be sold at pub lic sale. All the valuable machinery, fixtures, stock on hand, etc., will be put under the hammer. It is stated that the liabilities of the company amount to $7,500, and the assets are estimated at $1S,000. About one-third of the creditors are local people. The other creditors are mostly eastern men of whom the machinery was purchased. It is expected that air the creditors will receive the full amount of their claims. Mortgage for Creditors. About a year ago the company nearly went into the hands of a receiver, but it was finally decided that the company execute a mortgage in favor of its creditors. Officials of the company thought that within a year's time this mortgage, which was held by .a trustee, W- K- Bradbury, for the creditors, could be lifted and that the concern could then continue business unhampered of its financinl burdens. The time ; for paying thi3 mortgage expired -ttte for faur weeks ago, and the company had been unable to lift it, consequently Trustee Bradbury reached the conclusion that the concern was a losing venture, so he had the mortgage foreclosed. An Unprofitable Venture. It is stated that the Richmond Hat Manufacturing company proved an unprofitable venture owing to the insufficient capital invested in the concern. Frank C. Kibbey is the principal stockholder, and president of the concern. At the time the mortgage was executed in favor of the creditors of the concern, it was thought by Mr. Kibbey and his associates that

Criminal Lawyer.

TROSTEES DISCOSS HEW SCHOOL LAWS Some of Them Are Approved But Others Are Not So v Satisfactory, i TRUSTEE BOWMAN'S PAPER. HE GIVES HIS IDEA IN REFER. ENCE TO A SUCCESSFUL TEACHERPOPULARITY NOT ALWAYS A TEST. At the April meeting of the township trustees, held at the office of the county superintendent of schools, there was a general discussion of the school laws passed at the last session of the legislature and which went into effect on Wednesday. All these laws were carefully explained to the trustees." Some of the new acts met with universal favor but others were not favored. L. S. Bowman, trustee of Jefferson township, read an excellent paper on "My Idea of a Successful Teacher." Mr. Bowman, said in part: "Appearances are often deceptive. The popularity of a teacher in a certain dis trict is not an absolute guarantee of excellence. It is possible for a teacher to go into a school and by reason of agreeable social qualities gain the respect and confidence of most, or all of the pupils and patrons of the district and yet not be an excellent teacher. . Reasons for Failure. "Indeed the teacher himself, in the absence of any friction or criticism, may think of his work as being very successful. " They may all be for the the time mistaken. On the other hand a teacher' may go Into a new district to teach "and the fact that he does not do just like previous teachers did ; that his personality is different; that a few patrons were opposed to him because he did not belong to their church, or lodge or club, and that they knew a third cousin or his who has a bad reputation all these reasons may temporarily cause a low estimate to be placed on the teacher's work and ability, when in reality he may be doing most excellent work, almost wholly unappreciated Popularity is usually but not always a safe guide in measuring the -value -of a good teacher."

Mrs. William Thaw, Countess of Yarmouth, Mrs. George Carnegie and Edward Tha'.v arrived at the court house at half pat nine and waited for the Jury's action in Justice Fitzgerald's private office. The jury then asked before returning to deliberate, that the testimony ct Meyer Cohen, witness for the state, who testified to seeing the shooting, be read to them.
