Mr. lUrtmin, el the property committee,
askPd ler authority te advertise for propemla
ler fuel anil ler poriulwuen te make Decennary
repairs during the vacation. In bla Judg
ment It would be economy te have the Lemen
atreet and Jaiuei atreet buildings painted and
the Iren lencea at number of ether achoela
painted.
Mr. Wicket Hbatn asked whether the beat
ing apparatus at tbe Lime street school wm
aulllclent te warm the building and Mr.Hart
Hian replied that although 100 teus of coal
had been burned lant year, he believed that
when the x posed pipes were covered with
ibeates, as they would be during vacation,
that the desired heat would be obtained next
winter.
Mr. Bernard asked why a tire escape was
net put en the building and Mr. 1J art man
said It bad been contracted ler months sge
and would be put up during the vacation.
Mr. ICbenuan moved that tbe committee
Im authorized te advertise for fuel and make
all tbe neeeisary Improvements and alter
atien during tbe vacation. The motion was
adopted.
Mr. Byrne, el tbe text book committee, re

When the iiiestleii nf rn Uxt books "

Providing text books ler all Involves nn

Thnt si-ctlen 1'iO b aiiinnilnd se as te read
as lollews : All tioeks, puper, slates, iwus
and Ink utceassry for the use of the school
shall be vrevlJml by the beard."
That section 1.11 lie aineiided se aa te read
ss fellows : " All school books and supplies
named In the foregoing sectluu shall lie kept
by the elty superintendent at his etUce, and
at the beglnnlug et each school term, and
from time te time thereafter, shall be dis
tributed by blm te the several schools as

That section 1.13 be smended se sn te read :
II All books snd school supplies furul.bed by

shall, when practlcnble, before leaving tbe
superintendent's olllce fVir use In tbe schools,
be marked or sUiuiwd with the words,
Property of the Lancaster Hchenl Beard.' "
Mr. Itakvr spoke In opposition te the
amendments. Alter referring te Ihecbangt-M
that had come ever the spirit ul the d teams
of a few nf thu member lie went ou tu argue
that the adoption et f roe books would boa mis
take. It looked te him that the discrepancies
as te the discount oil vary se much that
somebody was going tn get cheated, lle did
nut believe that the beard could buy cbeaiier
thsn wholesale dealers. Mr. Breslus Is for
tree books ou the ground of sympathy for
the ioer. Ktery peer person Is se known
by bis neighbors and a peer iersen should
net be ashamed te acknowledge bis or her
poverty. This question hud been discussed
In tbe school beard tllly years age by such
men as Tims. H. Burrowes, Jehn K. Stein
man and HlHhep Bewman, and after a full
and free discussion the beard decided that It
was net oliey te adept free books and In his
Judgment It was net policy today.
There was nothing ssld lu reply by the
friends of the tueasure, but they called for
tlie question as seen as Mr. Baker concluded
hi argument.
The amendments were adopted by a vote
of 1 te 11, two thirds of these present voting
for tbem. These who e'ed te reconsider the
vote voted for the ainmul intuits, and these
who voted sgainst the rtcoiisideratieu voted
against the aiueudmeuls. Thu mho will bu
seen above.
Mr. Ham u el K. Krlsuun was nut el town,
but learulug thst the tree be ok ipies'.leu
would tie brought up for oensldoratlon be
cainobe miles te attend tbe meeting and cist
his vote In Uer of the measure.
Dr. M. W. Kiub, who was lu favor of free
books, was out of town and could net get
back, although he made a special ellert. Mr.
Smeycli was also In favor el free text books,
but be, ten, wnn out of town.

Mr DkauSiu When I received tbe ex
treuiely cordial and gratifying Invitation
from the citizens el SU l,euls, tendered by a
number el ber representative tiiaa te visit
that city during the national eucampmeut
of the Urand Army of the Uspubllc, I had
been contemplating for some time the ac
ceptance of the invitation from that organiza
tion te tbe same filed and had considered
the pleasure which it would allerd me It It
should be poasihle te meet net only members
of the Urand Army, but the people of SU
Leuis and ether cities In the West, which
Uie occasion would ailerd me an opportunity
te visit. The oxaclleua et my public duties
1 felt te be se uncertain, however, that when
llrst confronted by the delegation of which
you were tbe head, I oxiected te de no mere
at that time than te promlfe theoiuslderatleu
et tbe double Invitation tendered inn, and ex
press tbe pleasure It would glvn me te accept
tbessms thereafter, If possible.
But the erdlallty aud sincerity el your
presentation, reinforced by the heartiness of
the people who surrounded) ou, se Impressed
me that 1 u mid net relt tbe looting which
prompted me te assure you ou the spot that I
would be with you and tbe Urand Army of
tbe ll?publte at tbe time designated If neth
leg happened lu the inoautiuie te absolutely
prevent my leaving Washington.
Immediately upon tbe public announce
ment of this conclusion, expressions emana
ting from certain membeis of the Urand
Army of the KtpubllJ, and Increasing In vol
ume and vlruleucft, constrained me te review
iny acceptance of muse invitations. Tee ex
pressions referred te go te the extent of de
claring that I would be an unwelcome guest
at the time and place nf the national encamp
ment. Thit statement Is tnv-ed, us well as 1
can Judge, upon certain nlUutal huh of mine
iuvulvlug luiperlaut public Interests, deiiu
under lint restraints mid utilisatien of my
oath el office, which de net apxHr te accord
wlUi thu wi.bes of ho.ue miiuibura et tbe
Urand Army of the Republic
I refusa te believe that this organization,
founded upeu patriotic ideas, com))esed very
largely et men eutttled te Luting honor and
consideration, and whose crowning glory it
aheuld be that they are American citizens as
well as veteran soldiers, deems, it a part uf Its
mission te com pass any obleel or purpose by
attempting te Intimidate the executive or
coerce these ehsrged with making and execut
ing the laws. And yet tbe expressions te
which 1 have relerred Indicate such a preva
lence of unfriendly feeling and sneb a men men men
aoe te an occasion which should be barme

be Ignored.
I beg you te understand that 1 am net con
scious of any act of mine wbleh should make
me fear te meet tbe Urand Army of tbe tte tte
publle or any etber assemblage et my fellow
cltlzena, Tbe aoeount of my official eteward
ablp la always ready for presentation te my
countrymen, i sueuiu net no Iran u i
failed te oenfese. while disclaiming all re
sentment, that I bave been hurt by tbe un
worthy and wanton attacks upon me growing
out of this matter, and the reckless manner
In wblcti my action and motives bave been
misrepresented both publicly and privately,
ter which, however, the Urand Army et tbe
Republic, as a body, Is by no means respon
sible. Tbe threat et pommel violence and barm
in case I undertake the trip In question,
wbicb scores of misguided, unbalanced men
under tbe stimulation et excited feeling bave
made, are neteven considered. Katuer than
abandon my visit te tbe West and disappoint
your citizens I might, it I alone were con
cerned, submit te the Insult, te which It Is
quite epesly asserted 1 would be helplessly
subjected it present at tbe encampment I but
1 should bear wltb me there tbe people's
highest efllce, the dignity el wbicb 1 must
protect, and I believe neither tbe Grand
Army of tbe Rebublle aa an orjrauiaatlea nor
anytnlng Ilka a majority of Its members
would ever eaoeurageany soaadaleus attack
upon lb u, newever, arnasig ins suesn
bereblp of Ibis body there are some, as
eartainiy amu te be Um eaae, dttwsslaed
te denounce me and my official act at tbe
national encampment I believe they aheuld
be permitted te de se unrestrained by my
presence as a guest or their organization or as
aguestoftbelieBplUbleclty In wbicb tbelr
meeting la beld. A number of Urand Army
pests bave signified their Intention, lam In
formed, te remain away from the encamp
ment in case ljvlslled the city at that time.
Without considering the merit of such an
excuse I feel that 1 ought net te be the cause
el sucb non-attendance. The time and place
of tbe encampment were fixed long liefere
my Invitations were received. Thosedeatrens
te participate In Its proceedings should be
llrst regarded and nothing should be per
mitted te Interfere with tbelr Intentions.
Anether consideration of mere ImperUnce
than all ethers remains te be noticed. Tbe
fact waa referred te by you wben you ver
bally presented tbe Invitation of the citizens
of St Tieuls that the coming encampment el
tbe Urand Army of tbe Kepublla would be
the Hrst beld In a Heutbern s'ale. 1 suppose
this Isct was mentioned as a pleasing Incident
of tbe fraternal feeling last gaining ground
throughout the entire land and billed by
very patriotic citizen as an earnest that tbe
Union has really and In tact been saved In
aantlment and spirit, wltb all tbe beneUta It
vouchsafes te a united people.
1 cannot rid myself of tbe belief that the
least discord ou this propitious occasion
might retard the progress of the sentiment
nl common brotherhood which the Urand
Army el the Heoublle has se geed an opper
tunity te Increase and fester. I certainly
ought net te be the cause et sucb discord in
any event or upon any pretext It seems te
me that you and the citizens of Nt Leuis are
entitled te this unreserved statement of tlie
conditions which bave constrained me te
forego my contemplated visit and te with
draw my acceptance of your Invitation.
My presence In your city st the t'uie you
have Indicated can be of but llltle moment
compared wltb tbe iiiiportane of a cordial
snd harmonious entertainment of your etber
guests. 1 assure you tbst 1 abandon my
plan without the least personal looting or
regret, constrained thereto by a sense of
duty, actuated by a deslre te save sny em
berraseuieut te tbe people el St Leuis or their
expected guests, and with a heart lull of
grateful appreciation of the sincere and uu
allected kindness of your citizens.
Hoping the encampment msy lienti occa
sion of much usefulness, and that its pro
ceedings may Illustrate the highest patriotism
of American citizenship, 1 am, yours very
sincerely,

There were many ethers, however, who saw
the wisdom of the president's course and
were pleased that the city bad been relieved
of what premised te be an unpleasant alfalr.
They felt that the city bad been humiliated
and are Indignant about It, but agree that tbe

It lt.lu.es lu I's.s tbe Common Branch's Bese-
lulleu revering Plan for Water Works
Improvement,
An adjourned meeting of select council waa
beld Thursday evening as provided for by
Uie action of council en Wednesday evening.
The following named members were pres
ent : Messrs. Bolenius, Davis, Leng, Kemley,
Kiddle, White, Wise aud Evans, president
The resolution passed by common council
en Wednesday evening adopting Engineer
Crocs "plau Ne, 2" for tbe Improvement of
water works and which waa under coutddera ceutddera coutddera
Hen wben select council adjourned, was read.
Dr. Bolenius again objected te concurring
in the action of common council. The re
moval of tbe wnter works, as proposed,
would cost (82,000, tbe Hanck property (22,
000, and contingencies would take up the
balance of 125,000 voted by tbe people for
sewerage and water improvements, and tbus
there would be no money left for sewering
the northern part of the city.
Mr. Kiddle explained that If " plan Ne.
2 " was adopted there would be no necessity
for sewering the northern part el tbe city
further than the city suburbs, from which
point there would be an open sewer Uireugb
the run. The committee In asking for pre
pesals ler sewering had no thought el award
lug the work without the approval of coun
cils. Mr. Kimley said he could notsee any ne
cessity for advertising for plana and specifica
tions for sewering, when the committee and
councils bad bad before tbem for a year or
mere past such plans and specifications to
gether with their estimated cost
Mr. Wise said that the change of location
te tbe Bite above the railroad bridge would
net add anything te tbe present Bupply of
water ; it would only draw the hupply from a
purer source. As we have been using the water
from tbe present source for a great many
years without Buffering from Its Impurity,
be was willing te risk It a few years longer
rather than spend (125,000 for the change. II
It could be shown thst tbe plan proposed
would give us an Increase of water be would
vote ler It
Mr. Kemley aald tbe committee bad fallen
far abort In their work. They should have
employed au engineer te make plans and
apocttieatlons for a new reservoir en College
hill together wltb it cost and tbe cost el tbe
land ou which te build It
Mr. Kiddle said the money voted by the
people was for Improved water supply and
sewering. The question of a new reservoir
was net under discussion wben tbe money
was voted. That matter might come up in
tbe near future. If there are plana and
specifications for sewering new plans need
net be advertised for. The adoption of tbe
plan te remove the works above the railroad
bridge will greatly reduce the cost of sewer
ing tbe northern part of tbe city, aa tbe sewer
can be led Inte tbe run that empties into tbe
Uonestegaat Kauck'a dam.
After a geed deal mere discussion among
members, Mr. Kiddle moved that select coun
cil concur in tbe action of common council.
The yeas and naya were called for and re
sulted aa follews: Yeas Messrs. Davis,
1-eng, Kiddle and Evans, president Nays
