the American Guards as an invaluable
means of teaching. Hist, suboidlnacy (a
cpuallty so often lacking In the youth);
secondly, tho engendering of a precl

movements, and thltdly, as a means of
maintaining an active, aggiesslve gym
nastic oxeicise, the effects of which
alone, In the generations of school boys
to come, who would use tlio equipments,
put chased by the $2,b00, would gieatly
exceed the value of the monetaiy out

under bid the Baiber" company and
Dunn Bios, who lanked in the order
named. The bids weie as follows:
Columbia Construction company, new
pavo of asphalt fiom tho Dundonald de
posit on the island of Trinldhd, $1 0r per
square yaul, ielaIr; asphalt, $110, ic
lnlng brick, 73 cents, circular cuib, IS

i)2 cents, straight cuib, 58 cents.
The bids were referred to the pave
ments committee. While samples of
the asphalt, guaiantee nnd an analysis
accompanied each bid, it Is not believed
that the asphalt to lie used by the Col
umbia company is of the pitch lake
vailety. It Is claimed that it cannot be
laid at the price contained In their bid,
that the figures, In fact, are quite a
per cent, below cost. In Its pioposal
the Columbia company does not speci
fy "pitch lake." August Robinson Is a
new competitor in the pavement field.

by James Twlss at Prlceburg, was raid

that the room be cleared.
When the constable's paity appeared,
tlnce lounds had been fought In a big
tipui tment nt the tear of the hotel bar
room. The inajoilty of the spoctatois
and the pilncipals made their escape,
but the remainder of tho crowd showed
tight. The officers finally succeeded In
clenilng the loom, but made no attests.
The laid was Instigated by a paity
of Pileeburg citizens and was pei
foimed by Constable Bairon owing to

demons to send a posse. It was an
