The action of the state board was a great surprise tci the bool, repre sentatives. In fact, they were so sur prised by the action of the board that they did not know what to do, and none of them can say whether or not their price; will be changed. It is safe to say, however, that un less there is considerable change in the price that the contract will not be until the prices are satis factory to the board. The prices of the bidder; were said to be too high at the beginning. This fact has been discussed at length my the mem Lei; lo the board, and in order to keep from rejecting the bids an effort was made to get the book men to offer better exchange prices. The commission met yesterday af tergoon and spent three hours discus lug whether or not the bids should be rejected. Finally It wa§ decided .call for ne*, ;■ fids. fallowing - resolution was - v? j£ the book cob* '(|ins whip* bid on the contract: ■'The state school book commission latter caretully considering the bids and proposals of the authors and pub lishers of books competing for state adoption, have unanimously reached the conclusion, that the bids and pro posals are not satisfactory. There fore, by virtue of the act creating said commission and the power therein con ferred upc® us, it is ordered and ad judged that all bid,; submitted us be and they are hereby rejected. “It is further ordered that each bid dif be invited to re-submit a bid 1 , and that any new bidder be allowed to file a bid, ail bids to he made and field in conformity with the act creating such committee and to be deposited in the office of the secretary of state not later than 3 p. m.

The books, it is said, are very satisfactory, but the prices are not.. The book men announce this morning that they will take up the question of bids right away. Members of he commission are of the belief that the rejection of bids .will serve to get lower prices. The prices made in Georgia were higher than those made South Carolina or Alabama and the board was determin ed to do better than either of the two isates mentioned above.

When this “office ring" went into power, the cardinal feature of their platform, announced from every stump in the city, was one man for one office, and the reduction of taxation. Asa matter of fact taxes have not. been reduced, but in many cases, the tax payer of today is paying more tax ation, than ever before,and we have the unheard spectacle ol several mem uers of the saiil club serving ia two or three official positions.

It discloses the falsity of Mrs. Morely and her love for Lord Heatlie cote, and in this act, when on the verge of being found out by hor husband Mrs. Johnson, in order to protect and shield her sister, carries her burden and through intrigue, convinces Mr. Morely of the innocense of his wile. In tmis act it is also made very clear that Jim Morely, brother of the in jured husband, is very much in love with Mrs. Johnson, who, by her own motion, was playing in a false role and the scene between the two broth ers was one of the prettiest climaxes of he evening. In the third act, in wmch tire false position of Mrs. Morely has worn her hsart away, and she confesses her VOTERS SHOULD ALL THINK WELL BEFORE THEY VOTE IN THE PRIMARY Don’t Be Caught in the Poiiticai Trap Se| By Leaders of Good Government Club/ Who Have Already Decided on m Their Aidermanic Ticket / The long talked of, very muchly mooted and badly muddled political primary, sailing under the color of j white, will be pulled off at the city ffiail today.

That it is a political machine is best evidenced by the fact that inside of its cloned doors, where the grand jury meets tci make the laws, it has hatched a ticket composed of six good gentle men, when as a matter of fact there are hut four places to be filled.

A strong board of directors is airedy drawn up with corresponding names in the vo ting trust, which will he announced alter the meeting tomorrow tanning. I was given a list of the uJSs in confidence. They embrace men of the highest standing including Boston and Chicago men with national reputation. They also include Blair and Ryan interests who offered to furnish the necessary money toi complete the Bir mingham extension and pay the float ing debt on condition, that they name a majority of the directors. The Lad enburg pooiple remain but do not ex ert the same influence which they claimed to have had before. The re sult ol the deal is that J. Pierpout Morgan will predominate in the luture management. From a high authority i learn that President Williams will continue at tile head, his peculiar fit ness ter the place being generally re cognized. The result ot the arrangement is that the company will have abundant resources tor enlarging the system and -building tip its ousint 1 '- And will work in jMMWauay with l r roads. The amount of money to be furnish ed will be $3,500,000 and more if nec essary. It was feared at one time that the Ladenburg people would be able to knock the deal, but it is re ported that they were shown their I error and that* the scheme could be put through in spile of them, if the management insisted, but just how was not explained. President Williams, while he would ! not say anything about the harmony programme, admitted that everything was satisfactorily arranged and that lie company’s future was all that lie could desire. The interpretation plac ed on the Seaboard deal is that it means the virtual control of the prop erty by the Southern railway, although it cannot lie literally said that there is any connection. The directors to be announced tomorrow make this clear. REV. EDWIN L. HINES IS CONSECRATED BISHOP Newark, N. J., Nov. 18. —The Rev. Edwin E.
