IIIKTEB SCHOOL'S HUG SYSTEM
New Modern Plant Being Installed Which Will Insure Ventilation. BUILDINGS ARE 'EQUIPPED WITH BUT ONE EXCEPTION NEW COAL 8AVING PLANTS ARE NOW INSTALLED IN ALL OF THE BUILDINGS. When the public schools of the city open this fall all of the structures, with the exception of the Sevastopohl "building in Falrview, will be equipped with the most modern and up to date beating plans it is possible to obtain. A new heating plant is being installed In the Baxter school this summer, the estimate . cost of which will be $2,300. The work is progressing rapidly and will be completed by the time school opens. The heating apparatus which is being iiBStalled in the new high school building will heat the Garfield building also and will be completed by Sept. 10. Superintendent T. A. Mott stated today that for the past eight years, the school board had been changing the heating plants in the various schools of the city and that now, with the exception mentioned, they are all thoroughly equipped. ; The new fan system with automatic heat regulation is used and is a great improvement over the old method He stated that it was the only system which Insured perfect ventilation. By this method 30 cubic feet of air per minute is supplied to each pupil. The air is forced In from the outside and is constantly changing in the rooms. Can Regulate Minutely. It is also the only system by which perfect heat regulations can be made, according to Mr. Mott. and the temperature of the rooms may be regulated to a minute degree. "While the cost to install the plant is considerably more, the cost of operation is considerably less than the old system without the fan and ventilation," said Mr. Mott. Also Requires Less Coal. About 30 percent less coal is used Cy the hew system. Mr. Mott stated that he hoped, to heat the Garfield building this year on half the amount of coal ' that was used last year and that he thought it could be easily done ta view of the new heating apparatus. The Sevastopohl bjiildlng will be im proved in this particular next year, it is said. Mr. Mott .said that the teachers for the public schools next year had not been announced yet but that he thought there would be very few changes. There will be a meeting of the school board soon and the matter wilt be discussed then. Amusements . Barnum & Bailey Circus. The public hails with delight the announcement that when the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth visit Richmond on Monday, Aug. 23, it will again present the free street pageant as a part of its daily programBut not in any particular will the new parade be similar to those given in the past by any amusement enterprise. The promise has been made that a procession three times the length of any other, with ten times the investment and not one old feature, would be offered, and the promise la being more than .fulfilled. For four years this circus has omitted this part of the day's entertainments. Those years, however, have been devoted to the creating of new ideas and the gathering of strange features from every land. For two years, day and night, artists and -mechanics have been toiling in the foreign workshops of the circus at Stosk on Trent, England, putting these ideas into effect. The result of these labors Is a parade indescribably beautiful and with novelty and strangeness in every detail. It has great value as at world's Exposition, for it presents every human type that is strange and exhibits the vehicles, costumes, tapestry, banners, war engines, statuary and art of savage lands and wealthy kingdoms. The gods of- mythology, the idols of childromance, heathen images and the priceless statuary of Italy's galleries have been reproduced in bronze and are displayed on golden floats. A complete menagerie is displayed in open dens, 700 horses of the finest breed are utilized, there are chains of elephants and herds of camels, all in Oriental harness, while 1,500 men, women and children are concerned in the giving of the parade. It is natural to expect this great Circus to lead all others in the quality and quantity of its street spectacle as well as in other departments of the big show, yet never before in Its splen did history has it displayed such seem ing: extravagance as is seen this season in the re-establishment of the parade. It is gold, silver, burnished bran, silk and satin and in its material make-up and the sight Is one of surpassing splendor. . Sensation is given the program by the performance of Desperado, who leaps from the dome of the tent and lands on his chest, and the act of Jupiter, a magnificent horse, that goes up in a balloon and comes down amid a shower of fireworks. i If Col. Roosevelt goes In for playwriting there will be a final settlement of the old contention aa to whether the author or the stage man- , ger is boss.

MEXICAN WOOING. From Making Eyes at a Senorita to the Grand Serenade. In the uncertain illumination of the electric lamps some of the senoritas of Topic Gity appeared very attractive In breezy, fluffy gowns ' and fetching mantillas, and they know it pretty well too. They like to have you look at them directly and admiringly, and they will not drop their eyes. If you have the nerve to give one a look of this kind such a look as would be considered extremely rude in any'AmefJoaa city the chances are when you Baeether on the next turn you will be rewarded with a smile and a challenge from the black eyes, and if yon have a sufficient stock of nerve in reserve you will speak to her and pay her some complimentary remark upon the first opportunity that offers. This is good breeding and will net be resented. Should you then become infatuated with the lady you will search out her home, visit bar barred window and mope under it for an hour or two every morning, and if you Impress her favorably she will make your heart glad by talking with you through the bars or dropping little scented notes to you. Should you become real serious you will hire a strlased band to serenade her at night now and 'then. To conform with the custom fvou should start your band out at midnight and let it play as long as your money lasts. Outing Magazine. C0STERM0NGER. The Word In Former Times 'Was Spelled "Cestard-monger." The word c,ostermonger is pow used of an itinerant fruit seller. It was formerly spelled costard-monger and in this form appears in Drant's "Horace," to translate the Latin word "pomarius." Literally It -means costard seller, costard being ajiind of apple, the name of whkb Murray connects with coste. a rib. Some etymologists connect It with costard, assuming that the pulp of apples was nsed in preparing this delicacy, but there Is, no real reason for this, since the'cuitard apple," mentioned, in Dampier's "Voyages" (109). is quite different fruit from the middle English .costard. Some-connoSt'itfalao with "costard," the humorous name 9or a head- "Take him over the costard with the hilt of thy sword" (Shakespeace). But it seems more probable that the head was called after the apple than the apple after the head.' The termination "monger" simply means a dealer or trader, as in fellmonger and ironmonger, and "is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word "mangiaa," to traffic or barter, which Is akin1 to the Latin "mango." a dealer who sets off and polishes up his wares.

LOIIG CAR STRIKE
COMES TO CLOSE Evansville Workmen Return to Runs on Schedule at the Same Wages. LASTED FOR TEN WEEKS COMPANY WILL NOT ACCEPT TEN MEN IT HAS CONSIDERED OBJECTIONABLE FROM TROUBLE'S START. Evansville, Ind., Aug. 7. The strike of carmen of the Evansville & Southern Indiana Traction Company was declared off yesterday in the last day of its tenth week. Many of the old men will be back on the cars Mon day. Wages remain the same as be fore the strike, 17, 18 and 19 cents an hour. The same working condi tions apply. The decision of the strikers was made unanimous after the test vote showed a division of 2 to l in favor of ending the strike. The action came as the result of the submission by President Ike Hornbrook and his committee from the Central Labor Union of an "understanding" with the company, secured and put into writing Thursday night by Mayor Nolan. The understanding promises that forty of the strikers will be re-em ployed by the company at their old wages within four days, and that as rapidly as possible the others will be taken back, with the exception of pro bably not more than ten men, whom the company has considered objectionable from the earliest peace nego tiations. The company refused to be consid ered as a party to any settlement. The promise of Vice President Mar shall and General Manager Durbin that no overtures would be made to the old employes until the strike and boycott had been ended, was fulfilled. Opposition to the Nolar basis of ending the strike developed early in Friday's meeting, but the conserva tives overrode the minority radical element. AN IMPRACTICAL JOKER. He Thought It Was Very Funny to Fire the Hayrick. Practical joking, "the meanest form of wit," is common in Hungary. For merly the pranks used to be coarse. if not dangerous, but that is changing now. The only saving grace of the Magyarian practical jokes, says W. B. F. Bovill in "Hungary and the Hungarians," is ttoat they are not perpetrated ia a spirit of bitterness. One of the most famous jokers of the old school was Jozsa Gyuri. Exiled in one of the most inaccessible parts of the great plain, be lived and died "a prodigal and a buffoon." A story is told of Jozsa going to spend a night with a Count Keglevich. Wishing to be impressive, he journey ed thither in a beautiful new coach, of which he was very proud. On being shown over the grounds by the count his attention was directed to a remark ably fine bayrick. Hay was then standing at a good, price. After sup per Jozsa drew together some friends, and the ricK was soon nothing but a heap of ashes. The next morning when Jozsa want ed to contuuie his journey bis won derful carriage was not to be seen anywhere. 'Why. my friend," said the count. "you yourself burnt it last night. The fact is my coach? house wants repair ing, and as the evening threatened to be wet we. put your carriage under the rickTto keep it dry." A MAN OF LUCK. The Story of the Test by the Eastern King's Minister. A king once said to a minister. "Do you believe inluck?" "I do," saidsthe minister. "Can yousprdVe it?" asked the king. "Yes, I catil" So one night he tied up to the ceil to of 4 room DS containing peas I miZed with diamonds and let m two ing of a room a bag containing peas men, oaetef whom believed in luck and the o'tber in human effort alone. The one who believed in luck quietly laid himself down on the ground on his blanket; the other after a time found the bag and, feeling in the dark the peas and stones, ate the peas and threw the diamonds to his companion, saying. "There are the stoaes for your Idleness." The man below received them in his blanket. In the morning, the king and the minister came and told each man to keep what- be had found. The man who believe in trying got the peas which he had eaten; the other got the diamonds. The minister then said, "Sire.-there may. yon seenbe'loek. but it is as rare as peas mixed, with diamonds, so let none bope to live by lack." An Eastern Fable. Teaching Him a Lesson.

HUGE non REMAINS DUG UP Found in Henry County, But Crumbled Away.
Evidence that mastodons roamed the wilds of Henry county in prehistoric times has been found on numerous occasions. Only recently some massive bones of these huge animals were unearthed in that county which crumbled to dust immediately upo.i being exposed to the air. Two large teeth were found which gives one a fair idea of the immensity of the animals. The teeth were 12x5 inches and the combined weight of the two was about 40 pounds. PRETTY SCHEME MAY BE FAILURE Saloon Keepers Attempt Evasion of the Law. In order to steal a march on the county local option advocates of Muncle two saloon keepers of that place renewed their licenses at that time. A few days ago they appeared before the county auditor of Delaware county and announced that they wanted their license, but were refused. The circuit court will settle the question whether the two men are eligible to receive a license since the county has been voted dry. Men and Their Foet. The Frenchman's foot is long, narrow and well proportioned. The Scotchman's foot, according to anthro pologlsts. is high and thick, strong muscular and capable of hard work The Russian's foot possesses one pe culiarlty. the toes being generally "webbed" to the first joint. The Tartar's foot is short and heavy, the foot of a certain type of savage, and the toes are the same length. The Span lard's foot is generally small, but fine ly curved. The Englishman's foot i in most cases short and rather flesh and not. as a rule, as strong propor tioaally as it should be. Argonaut. Javelle Water.

I AT WHEEL Many Adopt Responsibilities Of Operating Automobiles Through the City. MEN TO DO HEAVY WORK It formerly looked odd to see a wo man running an automobile, but now it appears to be quite the fad and "very stylish." It's a common occur rence to see tourists passing through the city with lady chauffeurs and the ease with which they handle the big touring cars is surprising. This morning a party of tourists in four large automobiles enroute from Cincinnati to Indianapols passed through the city and all of the cars were driven by women. In one case a young girl but fifteen years of age ran the machine without difficulty for a distance of thirty miles. However, when anything goes wrong the fair oens resign in favor of the sterner sex. as they do not pretend to know anything about the mechanical part of the engines. GIVEN POLICE POWER Police power was vested in William Meinie, an employe of Reeveston last evening at the meeting of the police board because Mrs. Reeves has a rath er large estate and has been bothered occasionally by trespassers. The police are unable to cope with the situa tion at Reeveston. Other citizens who are owners of large estates and frequently troubled with trespassers may be expected to appeal to the board for power to arrest violators. It will bo a long time before airship operators are seriously troubled by people whose great object In life is to get some kind of a free ride.
