And the fact that petitions were filed with the board asking for vitrified brick pavements etc., on North Fifteenth between E and F streets and on North F street from Sixteenth street, west, certainly had nothing to do with any members action as to E street. The North F street petition was indefinitely postponed by Ihe board, which of Itself shows no motive existed and that no attempt was being made by the board to deceive anybody, the Fifteenth street one square petition was laid over for further action in the near future. Without discussing the merits of paving North F street, the board was of the unanimous opinion that, with the West Second street and viaduct improvement on hand and the two sewers incident thereto, the Southwest sewer system and the sewage disposal plant incident thereto, and with the paving of North K street and the remaking of North Fourteenth and other macadam streets, it was wholly out of the question to pave North F or any other street this year. We will not have the money under the present tax levy to pay for it. The board has given much thought to the North E street problem. It has considered the abutting property owners, it has considered the city at large aud it has considered the character of the improvement. The street is narrow; the car tracks run in the middle; the roadway is so narrow on each side that the heavy wagons, must run practically in the same ruts. Thia soon ruins a macadam street and it is a waste of money to improve this street in that way. A yitrifled brick paving Is more permanent, more economical, more sightly, more sanitary, more comfortable and much less expense to keen up. "We have tried to treat this improvement on its merits, just as we shall treat all other similar proposi tions as they come before us. We have no friends to reward or enemies to punish in this matter, and have only the kindest feelings personally toward all patties concerned. It has been well said that "public office is a public trust." There has been a demand in this city for such an administration of its affairs as will make this high sentiment a working reality. This is the standard we are trying to attain. If we fail it will not be for lack of an honest effort to succeed. One thing is certain reckless and sensational charges and insinuations based upon ignorance or malice will sooner or later react on those who work and circulate them. We shall in good faith, recommend this improvement to the common council, leaving the final responsibility on their shoulders, where tb law puts it. "GEORGE STAUBACH, "V. P. O'NEAL "B. B. JOHNSON." CANNON SLAPS AT THE ADMINISTRATION Asks Why Departments Have Not Done Duty. Washington, D. C April 2.

John F. Miller ,and a former well known resident of this city, died this morning at an early hour at his home in St. Louis. Monday Mr. Miller was operated on as a result of a complication of diseases resulting from liver trouble. This operation was not. successful and his condition grew rapidly worse.

Mr. Gilbert stated that while crossing the Doran bridge this morning, a white bull dog approached him and without warning, sunk his fangs in the calf of his rig it leg and then ran away. H; w;tnts the animal located and kept some place where it cau be watched so that it can be discovered whether or not the dog is suffering from rabies. v COLD WAVE IS HEADER THIS WAY Mercury Went Below Freezing Last Night. A cold wave is headed this way from the northwest and the cutting frosty breeze that has blown all day may be no false indication of the severity of the real article when it arrives. Shine as brightly as it could, the sun could not shake the icicles from the wind, and overcoats that had been placed in the back corner of the wardrobe, were hauled forth and worn. The mercury was below the freezing point last night and this morninig a thin coating of ice covered the puddles in the streets and on the sidewalks. FORMER TEACHER NOW A LAWYER C. 0.

INSPECTS SCHOOLS

Council Committee Appointed Some Time Ago Visited Buildings Today. REPORT AT NEXT MEETING. Today, members of the public school committee of the city council are making an inspection of all the school buildings in the city for the purpose of satisfying themselves that the buildings are so constructed as to guard the school children from the danger of lire. At a recent meeting of council a resolution was passed to have the school committee make such an investigation. It is expected that at the next council meeting the committee will submit a report on the results of their investigation. RICHMONDTEACHERS T Do Not Like Idea of Merger of Southern and Northern Associations. SCHOOLS CLOSE TODAY. MANY MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL TEACHING STAFF WILL ATTEND THE NORTHERN PEDAGOGUES' MEETING. The Northern Indiana Teachers' association of which the majority of the Richmond teachers are members, meets in Indianapolis tonight. The Richmond schools close this evening for the remainder of the week, as do most of the schools of the county. The program presented by the association is an unusually strong one this year and It is predicted that there will be at least 7,000 teachers in attendance. Tonight Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus of Chicago speaks in Caleb Mills Hall on "The Nest Step in Education." Friday morning the teachers will have an opportunity of hearing President Charles W. Elliot of Harvard university. President Elliot, who speaks on "The Elements of a Liberal Education" is counted as the big drawing card of the association Friday night. Prof. Richard Burton of the University of Minnesota will lecture on "The Teaching of Literature." Saturday morning the association will hear President Edwin H. Hughes of Do-P-i.iw university and President Charles S. Chapin of the State Normal school. Providence, R. I. The subject of President Chapin's address is "The Work and the Worker." In the high school section which meets Friday at 2 p. m., there will be two addresses of especial interest, to Richmond teachers. The first is "The Co-ordination of High School and College" by Dean Andrew F. West of Princeton University and the other is a report on uniform text books for high schools by Prof. W. A. Myers, of Hartford City. In the music section Prof. Will Earhart of Richmond is in evidence. He will give an illustrated lecture on the use of the piano-player in the high school. The music for the general meetings is furnished by the Shortririge orchestra, Schafer Symphony orchestra and the Metropolitan school of music. One of the questions to come before the association this year is the union of the Northern and Southern associations. The Southern association is much in favor of it and at their recent meeting appointed a committee to con fer with the Northern teachers. Their proposition is not. likely to be received favorably by the Northern pedagogues. The Richmond teachers are a unit against it. They say that the northern association is already too large and that it should be divided into Northeastern and Northwestern meetings. If the association should join their would be at least 10.000 teachers present each year making an unweildy and unsatisfactory organization. E DAY April 7, 1788, First Settlement In Northwest Territory Was Made. A LOCAL CELEBRATION. It is not improbable that some observation will be made of the establishment of the first settlement in the North West Territory by the public schools of this city next Tuesday, April T. It was on April 7, 17SS, that a party of 4S brave and sturdy pioneers from the snow bound hills of New England made the first settlement in the territory that now comprises the states of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Michigan and Wisconsin. The long and perilous journey was made over the Allegheny mountains in wagons to Pittsburg. There they embarked in a crude flatboat named the "Mayflower." They landed at the mouth of the Muskingum river and made the first permanent settlement. The new home was christened Marietta in honor of Marie Antionette, the beautiful queen of France.

POLISH PIANIST

DELIGHTED MANY His Concert at the Coliseum Last Night of Unusual Merit. GAVE EXTRA SELECTION. APPLAUSE WAS SO GREAT WHEN HE CLOSED HIS PROGRAM HE WAS FORCED TO RENDER ANOTHER. The large and enthusiastic audience that greeted the world renowned pianist, Ignace Jan Padeiewski, last night at the coliseum was composed of the music lovers of this city. It was Paderewski's first appearance in Richmond, and he was received by a tremeu dous1 applause as he mounted the stage to give his first number. Variations and Fugue, Op. -'! written by Padeiewski and played by the author, for the first time was i ntechnic, tone quality and melody, one of the most beautiful compositions ever heard by a Richmond assembly. Beethoven is quite a favorite with all musicians, aud whenever any of his compositions ate on a program, the public is thoroughly satisfied. The second number on the program was a Sonata. Op '27 . No. 1. E Flat. This is one of Beethoven's most harming compositions and it was rendered in a pleasing manner. Padeiewski received several encores after he had given this number. Perhaps the most charming numbers on the program were the three German selections. German music is known by its wonderful sweetness of tone and its light airy qualities. The numbers were from Schubert-Liszt and were "Auf (letn Wasser Zu Singen," "Soiree I)e Vienne," a major and "Erkling." the last number in the group was, if possible, the most pleasing of the group. The next number was a nocturne in F sharp, and this with two others Etudes Nos. 1 and .". Op 15, and Scherzo, B flat minor, were exceedingly pretty. These numbers were written by Chopin and the manner in which they were given by the wonderful musician, was applauded. Chant D'Amour. composed by Stojowski, was very pretty. The last number on the program, Liszt's Rhapsodic Hongroise, No. 1.1, seemed to take the audiene by storm. He was called back time after time and was finally compelled to give another selection. Never in the history of Richmond has such a concert been given. Much praise is due to Ona B. Talbot for bringing to this city, such an artist.
