CLAXTON'S FAREWELL A NOTABLE GATHERINU HIS HONOR) IN An Address From The Ketlrlusc Superintendent Sliovrinie The Remarkable l'rogrena of The CUT Schools Since Tbelr Ititab llsnmeut. The farewells between Prof. I'. 1. Claxton, who retires from the supcrin- tendency of the city schools to a proles' sorship in the Greensboro Normal col lege, were said last niht in the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. By invitation of the school committee the well-wishers of Mr. Claxton turned out in force and gave him an earnest of their regards. The com nan v was received in the parlors by the wives of the committeemen and after an hour of reception were shown to the lecture ball where Professor Claxton was called upon for a talk. Professor Claxton's speech reviewed the history of the city's graded schools, from their beginning six years ago when the election that opened their career was carried by a majority of two, down to the auspicious opening m '1)3, and might be fitly termed a talk of "then and now." The speaker told of the meagre facilities for education as he lound then, a committee appointed under the luw without property and without funds; the purchase and repair of the old academy, the anticipated slim attendance at the opening and the great surprise when 600 children clamored for admission; the work of the first session lasting but four and a half months with ten teachers, crowded rooms, no nppa ratus, the first grades averaging ten years of age, and indebtedness for a next year's starter. The needs of the second term were anticipated by plans lor a building in the eastern section and the drawings ranged from an $1,200 house to the one finally accepted, now known as the Orange street building at a cosi of $10,000; the delay in opening because of the unfinished structure; the request of the City Council for $12,000, which, though granted, was more than absorbed and the schools were suddenly closed, but immediately reopened by the prompt response of the citizens to a pop ular subscription of $2,000 that contin ued the term two months longer. Then followed the act of the legislature, sub sequently ratified by the people that gave the committee $25,000 to provide the needed increase in seating; the insuffi ciency of the fund to defray expenses in volvcu in Hie building and the in currence of more indebtedness, the henvv interest payments and the cull for econ omy; and in all the intricacies of the sit uations evolved the wisdom ol the com mittee in carrying on the work without serious injury to the progress ol the school. Coming down to the present the speaker said the admissions are 1 ,;!")() with JO teachers-; the buddings arc com fortable and commodious and the equip ment good, the course of study is full and complete in the essentials; although the work is not fully developed the organization is preparing the chil dren to be men and women, out of which the professional man and the artisan with strength of character is to come. As an index to the progress of the six years the grade ages show almost mar vellous change. At the start the first grade children averaged 12',i years, now the average is Wo, and the th uradc age is now what the 2d was then. Alluding to the needs of the sellouts, Mr. Claxton specified a nine-months session, less crowding, a budding (or the children of the factory district, a well endowed public library, free kindergar tens, and industrial training. The speaker concluded his remarks with expressions ot gratitude to the people of Asheville by whom he hud been so kindly received and who have made his stay more than pleasant ; to the committee for their interest in the work Bud devotion to the best in terests of the schools, for their uniform kindness and personal friendship, whose policy has been to hold the sup rintend ent responsible for results and to give him freedom as to methods; whose teach ers have been of all sects and creeds and parties, but no personal consideration has influenced anyone in their selection. To the thousands of pupils, "for whom I have labored and who have been the subject ofmy every thought, and whose interests have been the object of every plan and every effort, who have been uuilonnly kind and obedient, 1 wish for them a true and strong and happy man hood or womanhood following upon a happy childhood and joyous youth. We are training you for the victories may ourselves never win. As are rows in the hands of a giant so children to him that loveth them. we To you we shall as a city and as a Stale soon commit every interest and to you we look for its careful preservation and unfolding. For this reason docs the city and the State provide for your educa tion. Your duty is to improve your every opportunity." To the teachers and superintendent he said : "Without vou all else, build ings, course of study, plans, taxes, all would have been vain. The teacher makes the school. Ours is a noble calling, the most sacred and the most responsible that a man or woman mav cnt r. No one else stands so close to the spring of life and destiny of the child as its teacher. No other profession requires and demands such skill and such consecration. 1 have never uttered an unkind word against anyone of you. Your relation to me has ever been the most plcusant, and you have, each and all, treated rue in the most courteous and considerate manner. "Will you pardon me if 1 say there is one yet that I hold dearer than all and love, I sometimes think, as I do nothing else, one for which I sometimes (eel I would like to give mv life, as the patriot docs for his country or the martyr for his father, one for whom my love seems to myself to stand in the place ol religion and creed, one that holds my heart and mind as none other. 1 thus personify, lor the schools themselves and the cause ot education in this city seem thus to assume a personality. For six years it has bad my waking thoughts and my dreams as well. Not lor an hour at any time has it been out of my mind. It has been born and grown up under mv supervision, and I feci for it all the love and solicitude that one feels for his own cnild. I have watched it in sickness and in health, 1 have nourished it with my life. I have planned for Its future, I have dreamed ol the day of its strength and maturity when it shall stand forth in all its beauty a source of life and liebt, a fountain from which shall spring forth streams to make glad the city of God. Rivers of life tor the refreshing of all, rich and poor, black and while. This cause I now commit to you, men nnil women of Asheville, com mitteemen selected lor its guardianship, and teachers, and I shall love you as you love it. 1 shall cherish your memory as you cherish this cause. In leaving the work in its present state I have only one excuse to offer. I have been ottered a position in which I tbiuk I may be able to do more for the cause I love than I could do here. Hut as I try to teach those who are to be vour teach ers and the teachers of the State, my mind and heart shall many a time wan der back to you and to the lessons learned here, just as my thoughts will fre quently dwell on the magnificent beauty and grand loveliness of" our mountains and valleys. And where my heart is, there I hope to be again also." At the close ol the address Superintend ent Uggleston. on behalf of the teachers presented to Mr. Claxton a set of complete works of Matthew Arnoid, and from the colored teachers a gold pen and resolutions regretting the gentleman's departure from the city. Thesentimcntsof the entirccommunity toward Professor Claxton were voiced in parting words of sincere appreciation by Hon. M. A. Gudger, Mayor Patton and Col. L. M. Hatch, and at their close Chairman West invited the company to refreshments which were served by a bevy of young ladies who have grown up with the schools. INDIA'S COW QUESTION. It Is Feared That Pierce Relig ious Riots May Follow. Calcitta, Sept. 26. The "cow ques tion," which precipitated the recent riots in Bombay, came near starting a similar riot here yesterday. TheHiudoos have been worked up to excited feelings on the subject of killing cows, by means ol inflammatory literature on the sub ject that lias been spread broadcast throughout the country by the leaders ol the cow protection movement. The Hindoos, who believe all life sacred and that of the cow peculiarly so, have been deeply offended at the action of the Mohammedans in butchering cows for food purposes. Yesterday, while some Mohammedans were driving a cow to a butcher's to be slaughtered, an excited crowd of Hindoos seized the animal and refused to let it be driven to slaughter. The crowd rapidly increased in numbers and the situation was becoming critical, when a government official came along and made inquiries as to the cause ol the trouble. The official suggested that the Hindoos should save the life of the cow by buying it, which was quickly done, and soon the excitement subsided. The Pioneer, of Allahabad, referring to the inflammatory literature emanating from and circulated broadcast by the lenders of the cow protection movement. says these writings haye already had a market! enoct on tlie ignorant Hindoos. Unless every precaution is taken a sud den convulsion, in comparison with which the riots at Uombav. Kanironn and Axiugurh. serious as thev were. would sink into insignificance, is to be apprehended. TIIIC WOHtsT VKT, Jews Mav Kerunlu In MuhsIm, Hut Can Own No I'ropenv, Sr. Puti-:hsih ko, Sept. 29. New regu lations which suvor very much of the Wandering lew order have been promul gated by the Imperial government rela tive to resilience in Russia by Hebrews. Tliey are peculiar.

Neither shall a lew remain in nnv one section of the Umpire for more than the prescribed period. Tin-: bpectatokivm. III! 1 1(1 1 II tH Which Cost 4O0,000 Sold For Onlv $1,250. Chicac.o, Sept. 20.

It is stated this morning that the repeal bill will certainly be brought to vote in the Senate on October 14.
