Prlco, Hanna, Ilaugh, Sullivan, Trezlse, Edwards, Dovitt, Connors, Leo, Higgins, O'Brien, James aud Williams. A report from County Superintendent Weiss was read stating that all but one of the local teachers wero In attendanco at tho County Institute during the five days of tlio session. A letter was Tcad from Nicholas Frlcband, president of tho Koheloth Israel congrcga tion, asking that Ithavo tho use of ono of the school buildings for evening school pur posc3 aud promising payment for light and extra janitor services. Tho request was granted, A communication from tho Hoard of Health, requesting that tho School Hoard tako action to prohibit tho attendants at schools of children who havo not been vacinated and also that a list of tho children bo furnished to tho Hoard of Health, was road. Superintendent Bogart said either a great mistake was being mado, or somebody was not properly posted on tho law. Ho said he had no right to make any personal inquiry as to whether a child is "vaccinated, nor has the School Hoard, or any toachor. Every teacher who strips the arm of a pupil and examines it violates both a social and a 6tatuto law and the parent or guardian has the right to prosecute the teacher for assault and battery. Ho said ho had bcon waiting for tho Board of Health to fulfill tho law. There has been an attempt in one of tho newspapers to slander, by saying that some body has suspended pupils, and only those of poor pcoplo, whtlo those of Influential citi zens have been let go. That is a downright slander. I say It is untrue. I don't believe wo havo a teacher in our schools that would do such a thing. I did hear of a teacher who suspended some pupils, but she was a young teacher and no doubt bolieved that sho was carrying out tho law as expected of her. The law gives no teacher In tho schools tho right to suspend a pupil. The Board of Health, in tho first place, must furnish tho superintendent, or "principal of tho schools with certificates in blank, aud this It has not done. After the certificates aro furnished it is my duty to seo that every child is given one, and it is the duty of tho School Hoard to appoint a nay, and after that day no child shall bo admitted unless that certificate is properly signed." Suporiutendent Bogart also stated that a record should be kept of all children who aro properly vaccinated, or tho certificates should be so filed that they would follow tho children from grade to gradoand not havo tho parents or guardians put to the trouble and expense of securing new certifi cates every time tho Hoard of Health sees fit to enforce the law. Tho Hoard decidod to accept tho communi cation and give tho Information asked by tho Hoard of Health as soon as it can be fur nished, and that all pupils who do not furn ish tho proper certificates bo suspended after January 1st, 1697. A request from the Shenandoah Lumber & Feed Company for $139.30 in payment for extras on the now White street school build ing was refused. Tho company claimed it had performed certain work upou request of the architect that was not covered by the contract. When tho motion was under dis cussion it was argued that the company should have mado the request heforo a final settlement was male with the Board. Superintendent Hogart madu his official report showing lhat about six hundred transfers of pupils had bcon mado to properly fill rooms in tho new White street school building. In the 55 schools under tho High scliool the average attendanco has been 2,500 and tho percentage of attendance 60 and 00, Number of visits by citizens, 112"; by Direc tors, 10. Since the last report an additional night school has been cstahMshod especially for young men in first and second readers, aud there are 35 pupils in this school. The total enrolment in tho night schools is 517, with an average Attendance of 217! a per centage of attendahee of 65 j visits by citizens, iO; by Directors, 33. Tho Superintendent stated that many boys are using the night schools to getaway from home and play on the streets and recom mended that cards showing attendanco of pupils bo issued to jarcnts and guardians. The Board decided to hayo tho cards printed. The Teachers and Salaries Committee pre sented a written report stating "that, having learned of the persistency of teachers to hold 1 conversation in halls with visitors when they should bo in their rooms, wo recommend that It bo resolved that .hereafter teachers in the schools strictly observe in its widest Interpre tation section 3 of teachers' duties ; also general instructions of tho Superintendent, j or bo liable to suspension; aud that the Superintendent send a copy of this resolution j to each teacher," Mr. Treziso, of tlio finance committee, stated that it would bo necessary for com mitteos to curtail expenses as much as pos sible and asked authority to take steps to hold a special election for a new bond issue. On motion of Mr. Huuna tho committee was Instructed to act In conjunction witli the , Solicitor and have a proclamation issued for a spocial election to lssuo $25,000 worth of bonds, Mr. Trszise also stated that the Compulsory I Education' committee had held several meet ings and h.ld completed a list of pupils of school age ad the committee and Truant Olllcer Browu are doing all they cnu to pre vent truancy.

SHARKEY FAIRLY KNOCKED OUT ! But Referee Earp, on a Claim of Foul, Decided Against the Victor Fifteen to Twenty Thousand Spectators. In cluding Several Hundred Women. SAN' FitAXCisco. Deo. 8. No event In the history of pugilism on tho Pacific coast ever nttrnctcd public attention hero as did tho battle botwoon tho heavyweights, Robort Fltzsliumonsnud Thomas' Sharkey. last night. Hotwoon 15,000 and 20,000 pcoplo occu pied nil tho avnllnblo space In tho big Me chanics' Pavilion and watched tho contest which ovoryouo rcgnrdodns practically do cldlug tho champlunship of tho world. Iholong, leun Now Zealiindor, who hnd had a succession of victories In tho United Ptntcs for the lust flvo or six years, ontorcd tho ring with almost every npparont nd vnntago In his favor. HocouUl count upon lu his favor oxperionco and golenco, hit holght and rench and ovory other (luulitj vrh.sh enters into tho making of tho suc cessful prlzo fighter. Against him was tho sailor lad who wai unknown six mouths ngo, but who rose to fanio recently when ho camo perilously near trolling in tho dust tho colors of Cal ifornia's Idol, James J. Corbott. Against tho Ecionco mid exiiorleuco and tho su perior holght and rench of Fltzslmiuoiu was Shnrkoy with his youth and strength, probably ono of tho gruatust oxamplcs of muscular development that tho prlzo ring has produced. Both men had trained hard for several weeks before tho contost. and each had ex pressed tho utmost confidence In his ability to gain a victory and tho 10,000 purse which tho National Athlotlo club offered tho victor. Although tho contost was lim ited to ton rounds thoro was hardlya spec tator In tho pavilion who did not oxpoct to seo ono or tho other of tho flghtors go clown to defeat beforo tho full limit of tho light hnd been renchod. Tho men thom sclves evidently expected tho snino. Ono tinluuo feature of tho light was tho fact that for tho first time lu tho history of pugilism tho management of tho club throw open tho doors to women, and sev eral hundred of their sox wero In attend ance. Somo of them woro gra.v haired matrons, whoo enthusiasm on tho sub ject had led them to venture beyond tho bounds of conventionality. Ono of tho most notlceablo differences In tho men was In regard to height, tho Now Zealandor being 5 feet 11 Inches nnd Shnrkoy 5 foot S'4 Inches. Kach of tho inon welghod about 175 pounds Tho seconds for Fltzsfmmons wero Mar tin Julian, Dun Illckey and Jack Stolz- ner. For Sharkey wero Georgo Allen, Australian Hilly Smith and Danny Need ham. Wyatt Karp, tho famous Arizona stage driver who 1ms figured In many a gun fight on tho border, was chosen referee Into yosterday afternoon. It was after 10 o'clock when Fltzslm inons mado his appearanco, nnd was greeted with thundorous npplnuso. Shnr koy appeared two minutos after Fitzsiin mons, and his welcome was equally as warm. When Sharkey entered tho ring Hob walked across tho ring and shook hands cordially with tho sailor and his seconds. Thoro was a brief dolay at tho outsot, Martin Julian objecting to Iteforco Earp. Finally Fltzsimmons said ho hus glvon up his rcfereo lu all his fights, aud would give In to this. Ho objected, however, to a bandage which Shnrkoy woro on his right hand, and it was removed. Hoth men odvri y.A to tho mlddlo of tho ring promptly S i s cull of tlmo. Fltz scored a kuockdoi in tho first round, and In tho fourth Shnrkoy knocked his opponent down. A moment later Shurkey was aguln knocked down, and tho fight ing bocamo more vicious. Fltz madosomo terrific nluugos, and hnd Sharkey prac tically knocked out In tho eighth round, but tho reforoo gave tho decision to Sharkey on u claim of foul, claiming that whilo Shnrkoy was falling from Fltz'slcft hook on tho chin Fitz struck Sharkoy in the groin with his kueo. In tho final round, aftor two minutes and a half had expired, Fltzsimmons landed his right for Sharkey's jaw, and than put his left on tho chin, which put Sharkey on the floor with a smash As ho fell ho put his hand to his groin. Ho madu no attempt to rise, and was carried un conscious from tho ring. The foul, it foul it was, could not bo hooh from tho press stand, but Heforeo Earp gavo his decision in splto of Fltzsimmons' proto-u. It wus FUz'h light from start to finish Ho fought fairly, while tho sailor contin ually usd foul tactics. Ho would eiluoh and lift Fltz from his feet, striko in u clinch, though tho men had previously ngrocd not to do so, and ho was generally unfair. Several timos during tho light Fltz had the sailor going, but could not land n knockout blow. In the eighth Shurkey started in to do the lending, but seldom landed. Hub continually sent In left hand jalwon Sharkey's fuee, sanding his houd back overy tlmo Hardly any one among the spectators saw the alleged foul, and the decision wus received with hisses and groans. As far as the art of lighting goes Sharkey is not in tho same class with Fltz. He Is a willing, strong man, but has llttlo sclonco. A clovor nlan llko Fltz had no troublo in nvoldlng his rushes, nnd ho oontltiuully loft himself open to damaging blows. LAMP NEWS.
