By Carrier, th Delivered toany part of the city. 12 1-2c Per Week = : N.A SHORT TIME the people of Nevada City will be called upon to decide whether or not they will support a high school of theirown. That they will be taxed to support high schools in general is certain, for there are already in the State cities, towns and ceunties supportof the amendment giving them State aid. Now it rests with the people of this city to determine whether they are willing that their taxes go for the maintenance of their own high school, or those in different sections of the State. Perhaps there aré many who cannot yet realize why it is impossible for the present state of affairs to continue; why it is impossible for the high school to be conducted now as it has been in the past. As we have stated before in these columns, our high school has been illegally maintained ever since its establishment. For some time a protest has been made against its further maintenance on money intended for the grammar schools. Hence the call for the election on the 20th of this month. We wonder how many consider that, without ahigh school, the children of thirteen and fourteen years of age are to be turned from the public schools as educated? It has been said that as a nation advances in civilization, so does the period of infancy; that is, of education increase— that time when a child is trained and developed in a logical and reasonable way. ‘This is so true that a boy or girl of fourteen has by no means the power ‘or training necessary for the struggle before him. The value of this training as given by the public schools is now realized in almost every community. Statistics show that a rapidly increasing pro« portion of children are taking advantage of a high school education and an equally decreasing proportion leave school at the close of the grammar course. The plans for the course of study for the school are entirely with the Board of Education. By them all action must be taken, and yet, perhaps, we may trace roughly and in outline some of the opportunities which may be given the pupils. Three elective courses can be offered. The first is a commiercial course. This can include commercial arithmetic, bookkeeping stenography, and perhaps two modern languages. In addition the pupil can take two years’ work frem the general list. Thus the pupil choosing this course can have a practical business course combined with other work which will tend towards general culture. The second course to be offered will. be for those who desire the general course with either no Latin at all or else a limited amount. This will include algebra, geometry, history, English, physics and chemistry, with probably two years’ Latin and advanced mathematics as ele:tive courses. The third course will resemble the second, except that four years of Latin will be taught. This is commonly known as the literary course and is especially adapted for those desiring to become teachers. Here, too, if so desired, pupils may elect some modern language, although what alternatives may be presented cannot yet be stated. This, as stated before, is but a tentative scheme based on the courses of study of other high schools. . There seems to be a unanimous sentiment prevailing among our people which strongly favors the establishment of the proposed high school, and we have not the least doubt but what the project will be carried by a big majority. The matter of a few cents additional tax is not to be congid= ered when the great advantages which will accrue to the young men and women by the new high school education is taken into consideration. Let everyone do all the missionary work possible for the success of the high school proposition between now and election day—May 2oth. new high @#eeetie@teéeeteete ee 4 Republican Doctrine. HE REPUBLICAN members of Congress who have takén a firm stand against any concession to Cuba involving an exception to Protective principles are thoroughly consistent and on solid ground, If the tariff on sugar is to be reduced especially to oblige Cuban planters and middlemen the Protective Tariff system will be assailed at other points to assist foreign-interests at the expense of ourown. The Republican national platform goes no further with reciprocity than to approve it in dealing with articles that we do not produce ourselves. That is the true basis of action for Republicans, If they introduce an extinkering, the end of which no one can foresee. The impartial Protection of American industries is acknowledged unquestioned Republican doctrine. Special tariff concessions toa foreign country are not Republican doctrine, and never can be until the party abandons one of its origiual and cardinal articles of faith, ; MURGHIE STARTED: —_—> Work in the Drain Tunnel Began This Morning. oe Work preliminary to the epening up of the famous old Murchie mine commenced this morning. A namber of men were pat at work cleaning out and repairing the old drain tunnel. Superintendent J. O.

'A Useful Present The young ladies of the Methodist Sunday school class of Mrs. John Murehie tendered their teacher & surprise party at her home on East. Broad street last night. During the evening, in a neat speech, one of the pupils presented Mrs. Murchie with a very appropriate gift, a handsome teacher’s bible. Mrs. Marchie was very thankfalto her pupils for their appreciation, and the evening was delightfully spentin playing various games, and light refreshments were served. Doing Very Well. This morning the Fourth ef Jaly committee on finance, Chairman W. H. Dunlap in the lead, started-in to eanvass the town for subscriptions to the Fourth of July celebra‘ion, and succeeded in doing very well for the time they were out. there being about $1000 subscribed.

"Twas Easier. “So you are going to Europe?” . “I am,” answered the young man, “Why don’t you stay here in Amertca, where there are so many opportunities to make a fortune?” : “Well, I’ve concluded that the other side is easier. Of course you can make a fortune if you will stay and work for It, but people are always more. liberal have concluded that it is much easier to go over there and let the other Americans bring it to .me.”—Washing-. ton Star. i Serene Superiority, “Mr. Loftibrow takes himself very serlously,” remarked Miss Cayenne, Ps what way?’ e asked me if I thought I happy with, him. -as if’ bis aeeens oe could make the slightest difference one aw way or another!’—Exchangs, when they are away from home. F . AON DICH yf Promotion Committee ‘May Co-Operate With . Miners’ Union. The Promotion Committee of Nevada county wants the co-operation of the Miners’ Union in a picnic te be given for the purpose of raising funds to advertise the county. It is believed that if the two organizations combine it will be better from a financial standpoint for both and that it will bring ont the largést crowd which ever attended a picnic in Nevada county, At a meeting held Monday evening at Grass Valley the matter was brought up by-J.-J.Jackson of Nevada City, and he assured Samuel Butler; presi= dent of the Miners’ Union, that he would guarantee the laboring men $100 more than they had ever cleared at a picnic ia the history of the Union. Mr. Batler considered the proposition @ good one and said he weuld bring the matter before the Union on Friday evening. ; An effort is. to be. made to obtain the $1000 contingent appropriation made by the Supervisors in order that the money may be available for immediate use, A committee will wait upon the Supervisors at their next meeting and ask that the warrant be ordered drawn. In the event of the Supervisors refusing, it is probable that fifty business men will stand good for the amount until the remaining $1000 has been raised. The Supervisors will also be requested to have the silken banner awarded to Nevada county at thee Midwinter Fair placed on exhibition in the Ferry building, San Francisco, where its significance can be realized by the: traveling pub lie.

The parade of school children took place at Grass Valley this afternoon, and there-were hundreds of people on the streets to see the demonstration, which was held for the purpose of increasing enthusiasm among the voters The sight of the bright faces should be a striking argument in favor of the advencement of education, and the merry strains of thé military band added zest to the occasion. ‘The pro= cession of children left Columbus schoolhouse about 2 o’clock. Hadley Wanted. George W. Wittman, Chief of Police of San Franeisco, has sent out the foljowing circular: “Charles B. Hadley is wanted by this department for the murder of Miss Eleanor Maude Fuller, a girl fifteen years of age, The girl, who was cemmonly known as Nora Fuller, left her home in this city on the afternoon of January 11, 1902, in response to @ newspaper advertise— ment fora young white girl to take care of a baby in @ geod home with a good family. She was to meet her employer at a restaurant in the business portion of the city. After leaving her home the girl was not again seen alive. On February 8th, 1902, the dead body of the girl was found in an unfernished houce on Sutter street, this city. The house had, previous to January 11, 1902, been rented and supplied with a second-hand bed. The body of the girl was found on this bed. The girl had been strangled to death, and previous to death she had been sexually abused. On the morning of January 16th the San Franciseo newspapers published extended accounts of the mysterious disappearance of Nora Faller. On that day also Charlies B. Hadley mysteriously disappeared from San Francisco, and has net since been seen. This department, acting upon evidence now in its possession, accuses Charles B. Hadley of the murder of Nora Fuller, and demands his arrest and detention wherever he may be found. The circular also contains a minute discription of Hadley.

Every bee has two kinds of eyes— the two large compound ones, looking like hemispheres on either side, and the three simple ones which crown the top of his head. Bach compound eye is composed of 3,500 facets—that is to say, an object is reflected 8,500 times on its surface. Every one of these facets is the base of an inverted hexagonal pyramid, whose apex is fitted to the head. Each pyramid may be termed an eye, for each has its own iris and optic nerve. How these insects manage this marvelous number of eyes is not yet known. They are immovable, but mobility is unnecessary because of the range of vision afforded by the position and the number of facets, They have no lids, but are protected from dust and injury by rows of hairs growing along the lines.at the Junctions of the facets. The simple eyes are supposed to have been given the bee to enable it to see above its head when intent upon gathering honey from the cups of flowers. Probably this may be one reason, but it is likely there are other uses for them not yet ascertained.— Pearson’s Weekly. The Wearing of Amulets. Who wore the first amulet it would be impossible to say, but the adoption of a talisman to ward off evil is of very ancient origin. Phylacteries, the Greek word for amulets, were worn by the Israelites, to which allusion is made in the Scriptures. These phylacteries were 0; row strips of parchment on which were written passages from the Old Testament. A strip was placed in a small leather box and bound to the left elbow by a narrow strap.. There was a smaller phylactery for the forehead, the box for which was about an inch square. The word amulet is of Arabic origin and implies a thing suspended. Amulets were of various kinds. The moonstone, found in the desert of Arabia, was worn as a talisman against enchantment by the women, who suspended it around the neck. It was a white, transparent stone, the time for searching for it being midnight. Various Styles of Hairdressing. The various styles of hairdressing under Louis X VI. were known as the caseade of St: Cloud, the windmill, the sheep and lambs, the hen and chickens, the dog and hare, the peal of beHs, the milkmaid, the bob wig, the bother, the kerchief, the oriental, the Circassian, Minerva’s helmet, the crescent, the enigma, the desire to please, the turned up calash, the treasurer of the age, the frivolous bather, the rat, the drunken monkey and the lover’s snare, the last named consisting of a mass of curls: covered with powder, particles of which, deposited.on the coat or shoulfresh supply of frait and vegetables on kand. ders of a gentleman, indicated the previous whereabouts of the lady’s head. .
