itial pageant of the' knights In the fall of

the board of governors waa replete with
memories of former years and advice for
those to come. The audience was so well
pleased with his speech that It would not
oermtt him to end K when he first desired

It was no surprise when It was found that
the high places were filled by. Harry Steel,
B. F. wearne, C. C. Montgomery and J. B
Redfleld, all of whom were among the men
who first passed the veils last night In
the grand sweepstakes, however, the more
mature Judgment of older men prevailed
and the circulating medium, or, as It Is
technically termed within the borders of
the land of the mysterious, "the dough,"
was corralled principally by David Talbott,
while John Steel was a - close second In
the finals.
The wandering knights from other lands
who were refreshed at the shrine of the
local king were O. K. Dixon, J. I Downs,
J. Robins and F. 8. James, a party of Il
linois Central railroad officials from Fort
Dodge; William J. Shea and E. M. Kidder
of Chicago, and O. W. Wilson of Fort At

MABIE ON AMERICAN IDEALS
Hear! of the People Is Yet Vapor
rap ted by Comsaerelallsai
of the Age.
H. W. Mable lectured to large audience
In Boyd's theater Monday night on the sub
ject, "Ideals of American Life," which
closed the teachers' course of lectures for
the season. He said In part:
"The glory of this country lies la .its
passion for the open door. In which Amer
ica Is the greatest symbol. So long aa this
passion obtains It will be the nation of
sympathy and of Justice."
Referring to American literature he said:
"It hasn't tbe force, the mass and the
variety which characterises the letters of
the Old World, but It Is saturated with
Idealism. Open almost any typical Amer
ican work knd this note Is struck almost at
once belief In Ood, faith in man and his
ability to advance, love for the borne, piety
and respect for woman.
"As to American art. It Is stamped
throughout with refinement. In it we find
perfect purity, freshness and Ideality and a
certain distinctiveness of - workmanship
which is unmistakably American. It Is cus
tomary to Identify idealism with art, but
there is also an idealism .of life. Idealism
is working throughout all the stratas of
our society. It, is impossible for a culti
vated man or woman to ltve In a community
without elevating the general tone of that
community, and I believe that this influence
Is so broad and general that it applies even
to things Inanimate. . .
"America has tbe reputation of being a
nation of moneymakers, but this Is a super
ficial appraisement of the nation as a whole.
There may be a vast amount of money-making,
but tbe heart of the country la still
uncorrupted."

LONDON, May 13. It is understood that
Alfred Holt of Liverpool made the offer
for the China Mutual Steam Navigation
company's business and that it la his in
tentlon to purchase the vessels outright, as
the circular expressly state that the pre
mier, employes and agents will not be

The offer ia not regarded as generous, as

The Dally Chronicle In its financial ar
ticle this morning ssys it believes "Mr.
Hill Is the buyer."
The Dally Telegraph this morning prints
a long' Interview with, W. J. Plrrle, head
of Harland & Wolff, shipbuilders. In. the
course of which Mr. Plrrle," referring to
the, rumor that he negotiated the deal for
tbe transfer of. the White; Star line be
cause that line was a large debtor to Har
land tb Wolff, denied that the White Star
company owed his firm a penny.
As to tbe agreement to work exclusively
for the combine, that, he said, was no new
thing. ' It had always been the policy of
Harland & Wolff to refuae to work for com
peting lines.
Mr. Plrrle strongly repudiated the Idea
that Mr. Morgan was animated by hostility
against Great Britain. He said the people
seem to fall to see that, having acquired
an interest in so large a fleet of British
vessels, it would be suicidal on the part
of Mr. Morgan to encourage a policy of
subsidising American-built ships. The com
bine, he ssld, wss registered under Ameri
can laws becauae under the English law it
would be Impossible to give a bonus.
Mr. Plrrle generally defended the com
bine, and on the cruiser queatlon said that
Harland & Wolff were quite ready to enter
a guarantee that all mercantile cruisers
they built would be held at the disposal
of the government for tbe decade of their
contract with tbe combine. .
BAND TRIES TO DROWN SPEECH

Tkelr Protest Before

LONDON. May 18. There waa a theatri
cal sensation at the Royal Opera bouse,
Leicester, on Baturday, where the Kendalls
the previous evening produced a new play
with much auccess. At the end of the per
formance Saturday there ' were repeated
calls for Mrs. Kendall, and as she stepped
to the front, prepared to speak, the curtain
was dropped and ths orchestra played. The
Kendalls and their company then filed out
before the curtain and stood for fully fif
teen minutes trying to get a hearing, while
the band continued playing. The audience
cheered the actors and threw oranges and
biscuits at the band. The lights were then
put out, but the audience refused to lesve
the building until Mrs. Kendall apoke In the
darkness, protesting against the dressing
room accommodation of the theater. It
seem that at a batar which Mre. Kendall
opened in the afternoon shs made similar
references, at which the management of
the theater waa offended. ' .

ON SCHOOL BOARD EXPENSE
Mrs. Eelden Defends Report Mads by
Woman's Club Committee.
ANSWERS BOARD MEMBER'S CRITICISMS
Insists that Flgares Contained In th
Report Were finbstantlally Cor
rect, Despite chool Board
Denials.
The Woman's club held It regular meet
ing Monday afternoon and the discussion
of the report recently msde relating to the
expenses of the Board of Education for the
current year was continued by Mrs. C. C.
Belden, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. McGllton.
It will be recalled that In Tbe Bee of Sat
urday last members of the board undertook
to point out that errors had been made In
the Woman's club report. Mrs. Belden's
statement. In answer, is as follows:
A member of the Board of Education
says In Saturday Evening's Hee that the
committee of the Woman s club has fallen
into errors and he attempts some explana
tions to show that the figures given in the
report are wrong. Either this member Is not
at all careful to state the facts In his Inter
view, or, what appears more likely, he Is
attempting to explain something which he
himself does not understand.
He says: "The women have fallen Into
the error of calculating the expenses upon
the calendar year." This sounds queer
from a member of the board, who knows,
or should know, that the board Itself msde
the figures used in the report calculating
expenses by calendar years. The member
should know, too, that for the calendar
year 1901 estimate was made to the city
council at the beginning of the year, funds
needed and a report was made at the end
of amounts which had been expended; also
that for the year ISWB estimate was made
of the amount proposed to spend during
that calendar year, and & demand waa
made upon the city council for funds to
that amount.
The member says: ."They have also es
timated the school year at forty weeks,
w hen we only hold thirty-eight weeks, and
have never held more than that In the
grades ulnce 1895." If the member would
Inform himself he would find, as the com
mittee of the Woman's club found, that
during tbe year 19ol the schools were In
sesxlon forty weeks. It is proposed that
In 1902 they shall be in session only thirty
eight weeks.
He says further: "As a result of these
false premises they have made the total
expenditures of the present board at least
60,0iln excess of what they will be." The
member should not thus discredit himself
and his fellow members. The statement
of what expedtturea for roe year 1902 will
be waa taken bodily from the estimate of
the board Itself showing what funds would
be needed for tbe various purposes and
what the board proposed to xrnd. If
there are any "false premises" the esti
mate made by the hoard, the estimate on
the strength of which the board demanded
from the city council a certain sum of
money for the schools, that estimate con
stitutes the "false premlws."
He says that the payroll Is about 140,000
a month and two weeks less of school
would save half that amount, about $20,
Ouo. If the member were familiar with
school affairs he would know that almost
the only saving in shortening the school
year two weeks Is the saving In the teach
ers' wages. The teachers' payroll is about
$;t0,000 a month, so that the saving by cut
ting off two weeks of school is only about
tlo.000. Janitors' pay Is not a great deal
less in vacation than In term time; repairs
cost the same, fuel the same, textbooks,
aupplles. Interest, improvements all cost
about the same whether thlrtv-slx, thirty
eight or forty weeks of school constitute
the year.
He says: "We have placed $20,000 In the
sinking fund for the first time In several
years." The facts are that in 1S98 the
board i seed In the sinking fund $18,000; In
1900, $20,1100; In 1901, $27,566. The sinking
fund was on'y considered and noted, and
due allowance made for It In the report of
the Woman's club committee. The pres
ent board will not. In 1902, i ut $20,000 Into
this fund "for the first time In several
years."
The "other item of the kind" on which
he talks vaguely of saving $10,000 hardly
require discussion. He specifies nothing.
OneVurlous statement he makes in clos
ing. . He speaks of T.,000 which Is -to be
"saved" Upon the new High school. The
board is now grading, laying walks, etc.,
there, so that evidently thla $5,00 Is to he
expended, not "saved." No item of addi
tional expenxe amounting to $5,000 for the
new High school appears in the estimate
of expenses made by the board last Jan
uary, so that very likely this $5,000 Is to be
expended In addition to the amounts asked
for in that estimate.
The report of the Woman' club commit
tee was made after much Investigation,
and while It may possibly contain some
small errors (It would be difficult to avoid
errora entirely among so many Items) no
such errors have ao far been pointed out,
and the report was not made aa the result
of either misapprehension or misinforma
tion. The proposed changes In the constitution
will not be made until the next meeting on
May 26. Mrs. Burney read a report on
"Natural Science," prepared by Mr. Pearse.
It waa decided that at the coming annual
meeting member will each be permitted to
bring two guests.
The meeting concluded with a program of
entertainment consisting of a harp solo by
Miss 8wanaon, piano solo by Mis Free, two
vocal number by Mrs. Ely and reading by
Mr. 3. H. Dumont, Mr. Comegys and Mr.
Shield.
MESSENGERS FROM THE NORTH
Rev. Dr. Ifnntlnaton nnd Lieutenant
Governor Bate of Boston Ad
dress Dallas Meeting.
DALLAS, May 13. Monday wa the day
et aside for fasting and prayer by tbe
members of the Methodist Episcopal church.
South, and the conference, after being in
esslon two hour In the morning, adjourned
until 8 o'clock at night, when the fraternal
delegate of the Methodist Episcopal
church, D. W. C. Huntington, D. D., of
Lincoln, Neb., and Lieutenant Governor
Bates of Boston, presented tbe address from
the northern church.
While neither of the messengers of the
northern church In direct language advo
cated a reunion of tbe two churches, still
their sentences and sentiment suggested
the hope of an ultimate result.
From a statement issued by one of the
prominent bishop of the church late to
night it appear that the letter of Senators
Bacon and Clay to Bishop Candler did not
hold that tbe war claim money should be
returned, owing to the manner In which
It wa secured from congress, but that
the letter held that the money should not
be returned to the government, as the
claim was a Just claim and should have
been paid, and tbe church waa not to b
censured.
