not do the "raising," in the twenty-

ported the measure in its original

Councilman Friend on the subject
of bill raising, wished the editor of
The Times to take note of a commu-
nication from Roy Hoffman stating in
effect that the latter's bill for supplies
was raised by him, the said Hoffman,
and not by Councilman Friend; that

School .Matter*.
Delays have been experienced in
relation to the school and school com-
mencement, as in everything else in
the city. The causes have been una-
voidable and uncontrollable. It wa«
thought that the school exercises
would have commenced on the 11th.
Then it was fixed for the 18th. It
seems now that it will not eommence
until Tuesday January i. 1894.
The dedicatory services will be had
on the evening of the 21st of this
month upon which occasion a concert
will be given by home talent. Mrs.
.McMichael has interested herself in
the matter and with other ladfrs and
gentlemen are bending every eftort
to make this feature a pronounced
success. The proceeds will help de-
fray the cost of school furniture and
furnishing*.
