The Iviiurd of Education hoarkenei
to the voice olSwisdom, and has re-
moval Mrs. Ilraddie Bradford from
the principal ship of the Arnold
8cho«l.
For her nmduot whHe holding
that ini|wtri«nt effiee the Hoard of
tkiuivt^Mi has suspended iher front
the ocnioe lor -thr«*e months,
and lias directed that at 'the expira-
tion of Iter sentence ' the woman he
transferred to another district.
TWn is a* d1 should lie.
The g< M>el uame of the public
schools of Chicago demanded that
nobh* such action be tifcken.
When the Honrd met Wednesday
night all of the members were pres-
ent except Mr. Chalmers, • who is in
Europe, aMxii Mt. Cameron, - who is In
Mackinac.
Mrs. Bradford, Mr. Bradford, and
several women vyimpatliizers viewed
the sceno from the back launches.
Motions and counter-motions, with
almost a down divisions, were im
|M»rtaut features <»f it he proceedings.
Mrs. Mower. Mr. Beebe, Miss Burt,
and Mr. loosen thai advocated the
cause of the accused principal. Mr.
lie veil, Mr. Trade, Mr. Itrenan, and
Mr. Boldenweck took UtOs^dt; of the
people.
When the subject «nnie up early in
the evening there was a disinclina-
tion to act, and the question was de-
ferred until the regular business was
transacted. President McLaren called
attention to the rule re«piiiringexecu-
tive session. Through the influence
of the nblc and.talented Mr. .Rosen-
thal, this rule was suspended, and
.the reporters and a pec tutors re-
mained.
The able and talented Mr. Rosen-
thal moved to strike out all refer-
ence ;to the subject of dismissal from
tho majority report against Mrs.
Bradford. It jarred on his feelings,
so to nftenfr**
Mr. Boldenweck promptly moved
to lay Mr. Rosenthal's motion on the
it able, and the Board took Mr.
Bolden.week's advice to preference to
Mr. Rosenthal's, as ithe following
,vote will show:
For Tabling—Brenan, Badenoch,
Revell, Boldenweck, Gunderson,
Duggau. Cusack, Halle, Bluthardt,
Goetz, and Trude—11.
Against— Burt, Rosenthal, Flower,
Warner, Ikeibe, Mallette, and Mo
Laren—-7.
The main question was then taken
up.
At this juncture several "petitions,"
gotten up by Mrs. Bradford aad her
friends, were presented and deposited
in the unromantic pigeon-holes of
the clerk** desk without reading.
A feeling of genuine pity eame
over many when Mr. Beebe, who has
worn himself lop-sided running
around to newspaper offices, took the
floor.
His famous expression of defiance
made the gas jets blink, but slitt he
was net happy.
From the inside recess of h$s capa-
cious-tailor-made coat Mr. Beebe
took out ten rolls of wall pai«r, worth
at least 15 cents a roll.
•in the reverse of the wall paper
Mr. Beebe had written a speech.
Mr. Becl»e read his spccch.
It was the same speech which had
been printed in sundry alleged dailies
■devoted to the Bradford interests.
Efforts were made to choke Mr.
'Beebe off, in the taterest of bis
healtli, at intervals <»!' half an hour.
They were unavailing.
Mr. B»ebe finished his speech. It
was a long one, and charged one of
Mrs. Brad ford's pupils, with having
oaten ice cream once upon a time!
Awful boy!
Mr. Boldenweck made a sensible
and manly sj»eei4h, based upon the
evidence of citizens and teachers, in
favor of Mrs. Bradford's removal.
Mr. Brenan spoke against Mrs.
Bradford in a calm, dispassionate
manner that carried conviction with
it, especially when he quoted the
strong evidence against the principal.
The handsome and talented Mr.
Rosenthal, -who is becoming quite
proficient as a speaker, desired to add
to his histrionic fame by reading
some selections from Tiik Kaule.
While it is true that Mr. Rosenthal
is not personally an admirer of Tiik
Kagle, it is also true that when it
comes to an article of real merit his
appreciation of truth rises above his
prejudices.
lie had found an artlclo in Tiik
Kaglk just suited to his style of
declamation, and having given the
necessary 1 line to practice. Mr. Rosen-
thal was a'K»ut to please the audience
by reading it in his well-known dra-
matic style.
But fate ruled otherwise.
Mr. Rosenthal was cruelly called
down. —.
He did not read, and the god of
eloquence is in mourning.
But Mr. Rosenthal made a speech
just the same.
Some pleasant interruptions by
Mr. Trude gave Mr. Rosenthal an
opportunity to cause laughter.
Mr. Trude reviewed tho testimony
and pointed out the strong, uneolored
evidence given against the sch<iol
principal by the teachers, none of
whom were actuated by malice or
envy. He emphasized the fact that
the evidence clearly proved that Mrs.
Bradford had used her position to
further the sale of patent medicines
and merchandize.
Mr. Revell t(*)k tho same ground
against Mrs. Bradford.
After much parliraentiary sparring,
Mr. Revell offered the following reso-
lution as a substitue for the whole
question, and it was adopted:
Resolved, That Mrs. Bradford be
suspended for a period of three
months, and when reinstated she
shall lie sent to some other school.
This was the vote on the resolu-
tion:
Yeas—Brenan, Warner, Gunderson,
Goetz, McLaren, Miss Burt, Revell.
Gusack. Mallette. Badenoch. Mrs.
Flower. 'Hal le. Trude —1.5.
Nays—Rosenthal. Beebe, Bolden-
weck. Bluthardt. iHiggan—
So the Arnold School will know
M rs. Braddic Bradford no more.

Merchants of Zancsville, Ohio,
cut rates with so lusty a slash that
comets, first sold at a cent apiece,
were thrown into the streets, where
ladles, for thus they are designated
in t!)e dispatches, scrambled after
them, to the loss of dignity and the
sore rending of garb. It must have
been an edifying spectacle, and each
lady having mended her ralnment

should pat on a charity corset and

SO DANGER.

A Timely Statement from
the State Board of
Health.
Dr. B. M. Griffin, Chairman of the
Illinois Baard of Health, and Dr. F.
W. Rei'lv. Secretary, were in com-
munication with the New York
health officials until a late hour
Thursday. As a result of the in-
formation obtained the following
statement vas authorized:
'•While the intelligence of five
deaths from Asiatic cholera among
residents—not immigrants—of New
York City, one of these eight days
ago, was a most unpleasant surprise
to Western healtli officials, still there
is nothing in the situation to cause
panic or even excitement. The de-
lay in admitting the existence of tl>e
disease was natural, but it does not
appear that ar.y precaution has
been neglected on this account.
From the first suspicion the cases
have been treated as though it was
known that they were genuine chol-
era. Premises have been disinfected,
inmates kepi antler strict surveillance,
and the most rigid care has lieeti ex-
ercised. lu its own interests New
York cannot afford to have any spread
from these cases nor from others
which may be now reasonably antici-
pated before the advent of cold
weather. As to any immediate
danger to the country from these
sporadic cases there are tliese facts to
b.» considered:
~l. The cases have «tccurred among
a class of people not likely to start au
exodus from the localities ami s«> to
spread the infection.
"2. As already recited, reliance
may be placed on tlx* natural interest
of New York to make every effort to
prevent any spread.
-.S. Rvery day brings us in-arer
tho season when cholera, at least in
this country, is checked by low tem-
perature.
-4. The history of the disease <>©
this continent shows that, while it
has repeatedly effected a foothold on
the mainland in the fall of the year,
it has never lieen until repeated in-
troductions that it has spread as an
epidemic. In the epidemic of 1854
it took eighteen months after the
first cases on the mainland to effect
a lodgment and become epidemic.
"5. Tho sanitary defenses of the
country were never so well organized
to battle with and suppress an epi-
demic of any preventable disease.
"The practical deduction from these
considerations is that, as already
said, there is no occasion for even ex-
citement. What, remains, as the
lesson of the situation, is that every
community and commonwealth should
realize in practical effort that its im-
munity from the cholera, as from
other preventable disease, rests with
itself. It must work out its own
salvation and not rely upon any
vicarious protection of quarantine.
Every source of tilth, of pollution of
water, soil, or air, must receive
prompt and effective attention, and
not only must municipalities exert
themselves but every house-
holder for himself must put
his own house aud premises
in order. Xo cleanly city, town or
village—with a proper disposal of ex-
creta and with a pure water supply—
need apprehend a visitation of chol-
era. In all human probability there
remains from now until next spring
in which to perfect the work of sani-
tation already well under way
throughout the length and breadth
of Illinois. With the present warn-
ing the municipality wbieh fails to

utilize these intervening months will
be culpably, criminally derelict in an
obvious and imperative duty. The
Illinois State Board repeats there is
no occasion for panic—there is every
occasion for a general cleaning up."
The name of Daniel Dougherty
must now be added to the long list of
distinguished men whom death has
claimed as its victims during the
present year. Mr. Dougherty was a
great lawyer and a magnetic orator.
His grandest triumphs were achieved
as an adw»cate addressing a jury.
There the power of his remarkable
eloquence had full play, and his ap-
peals were materially aided in their
effectiveness bv his extraordinary
knowledge of human nature. It has
been said of him that before he began
to speak he made it a paint to ac-
quaint himself intimately with the
character of every man in the jury
box—his i»olities, religion, national-
ity, and other distinguishing traits
af!*l Vris hobbies, weaknesses, .and ec-
centricities, as well, if he had them.
Mr. Dougherty's career at the bar
was highly successful. In politics he
was a doctrinaire Democrat, but he
never sought nor held public office,
llis sfieech placing Genera! llanc;>ck
in nomination for President of the
United States, made at the National
Democratic Convention in Cincin-
nati in 1880, was a superb orat irial
j effort, which attracted wide atten-
tion and elicited much deserved
praise. He also nominated Grover
Cleveland for the Presidency at the
St. Louis convention in 1888.
Evkuy day piles fresh proof that
women are in the nice. A Chicago
girl want to fee a jockey.
While the Chinese residents of
tliis country are protesting against
the indignity of l»eing compelled to
have their photographs taken as a
means of identification, their atten-
tion should l»e kindly called to a late
wrinkle of the World's Fair manage-
ment at Chicago. Newspaper men
who desire to be present at the dedi-
cation of that institution are to be
requested to furnish the management
with two of their photographs, one to
be p:isted on the ticket and the other
to t>o kept in a gallery for purposes of
comparison. In view of this rather
remarkable requirement the Celestial
seems to hare only about half the
basis for a kick that the journalist
eniovs.
I over the President's retaliatroy meas-
ure that he wants tho Canadian mil-
itia thoroughly organized and equip-
ped to repel the threatened invasion
of "American paid desperadoes.''
After frantically recalling the action
of the brave Canadians who sprang
to arms in 1812, he closes his absurd
ebullition by shouting that "Britons
and Canadians cannot be slaves." No,
but some of them can be "heap dam-
phools," it appears.
A plain American citizen, whose
courage has already been demon-
strated during a term in the regular
army, has proved it to be actual
heroism by marrying the daughter of
the late Sitting Bull. The young
lad> is an heiress, having been in-
formally dowered with the paternal
blankets, complexion, and temper.
She once saved her husband's life,
but to cause him to regret this
thouglitfulness she has only to live
up to the traditions of the Bull
family.
There is sometimes constitutional
warrant for hanging a man. If there
is any such warrant for telling him
to get ready for the noose, putting
the death watch over him, building
his scaffold, and then undoing it all
with thesimple result of I icing enabled
to do it again, knowedge of the fact
has been withheld from common poo-
p!e. It can hardly be concealed some-
where in the clause that refers in a
deprecatory way to ~c ruel and un-
usual" punishment.
Some objections are still heard to
the law prohibiting the hideous mu-
tilation of horses known as "docking."
It would really be interesting to learn
from the perturbed mutilators any
excuse for cutting off a horse's tail
that could not be equally well used
to sustain the righteousness and wis-
dom of also cutting of his ears atul
those of his owner.
A Spaniard wants to introduce
hull- baiting to the World's Fair
visitors next year. He promises <rarc
sport and instances the fact that due.
ing the progress of the Paris exposi-
tion five bull-fighting am pi theaters
were in operation and proved rare
attractions. But why stop at bull-
Itaiting? Let us have bear-baiting,
rat-killing, chicken mains, iiadger-
drawing, and dog fighting. Think
what crowds c >uld be drawn to the
Fair were such a varied programme
as this offered for the daily delecta-
tion of visitors. By all means give
us bull-baiting.
Mrs. L. C. Paschal, who is a re-
porter on a Chicago paper, feigned in-
sanity so admirably that judges and
doctors were deluded into sending
her to an asylum as a raving maniac.
This was just what she wanted, and
it enabled her to get into the myste-
ries of insane treatment, write it up
and expose the nefarious doings of
the officials. Of course, they will
now plead that she was mad as a
March hare and only imagined the
things she writes about.

flight, was with difficulty persuaded
to tarry. The terrors of the desert
do not like to be bluffed.
Nkar Astoria, Ga., there is a four-
acre deposit of ancient clam shells,

it would appear as if all the clam-

Both parties arc wild in their guesses.
I lielieve that the Democratic esti-
mate as to Altgeld comes tin- nearest
to being correct of any of them.
Altgeld will get a large! vote front

Palmer got from them in IHsh. lie

at at least 12.000 in Cook County. But
this does not mean the rest of the-
ticket by any means. This is a curi-
ous county. Palmer carried it in
1888 by 8,000 majority. Cleveland did
not carry it at all. More than that,
the whole Democratic county ticket
was beaten out of sight in 1888.
"But for that matter it has always,
been beaten in Presidential years. I
think the betting on the county
tickets is at evens just now. licit; is
the way I place it:
"Altgeld to win by lo,oco in the

"Harrison and Cleveland ami tltc

"Democratic judges, to win by from.
