Thk famous " Capital Cafe " was tbe seene, Wednesday night, of a promisouous melee whieh resulted in tbe arrest of four of tbe partieipants. Tbe prineipal actors in the drama were Langdon Davis, popularly known ius "Chin," and Hubert Huse, The two were engaged in the pastitne known as " twisting bands " and Huse, flnding that he was no match for Davis, proposed a wrestling match as a more sat isfactory method of testing their atbletlo proweas. Huse was more skillful at this and suoceeded in laying Davis ou his back. By this time the combatants were getttng rather heated and Huse varied tbe monot ony of tbe exhibition by bombarding bis esteelued conteiuporarv with bottles and glass -ware and gracefully sma.sbinga OBfltor over his bead.

Thk annual meeting of tbe I'nion school distriet will be bebl at Capital Hall on Wednesday evening, Angust 14. Let every one interested in the publlc School. make a note of this fact aud attend tbe meeting. Attendance sbould be as general at least as upon the annual town meeting, tbough the scboois outrank in Importanoe any mat ter that ordinarily comes before the March assemblies. Tbe most importaut matter to come before the meeting this year is that of providlng for additlonal rooma for the ao commodation of tbe schools. For some years the pressure in the low er grade rooins has served to make it appareut that tbe time must soon come when more rooms would be abaolutely necessary, That time has arrived aud some provbtlon must be made. The luggeatlon tf the nrudential oommittee to meel the preaent and prospect ive needs of the distriet is to build an addl tioli from tbe Oenter of tbe rear of the school bullding aboul tortyflve feet wide aml extending back some forty-flve feet. Sneh an addition could be put In without interferlog witb the indows of tbe present schoul-rooins, aud would be sufflolent to conruin two rooms ou each of the lirst aud eoond Hoors of praottoally the same sise as tbe preaent rooma, The two rooms on tbe thlrd floor w ould be well adapted to the laboratory. Tbe preaent iBOOBVeulent aml i rowded library rooni would be Utillzetl for cloak rooms and the books arranged wh. i, they would flnd plenty of space and would he accessible. A smail iuexpeusive gravity elevator could be pat in for running tbe books up aml down. Tbe apparatus now kept iu the dark and damp basemeut would Bnd a place iu a room light, dry and airy, wberfi it oould be uaad to advantage aud w liere the gases gi-nerated by the experi mentS In the laboratory would work olf without permeatlng tbe wbole building. Possibly a few feet would need to be added to the dlmensions given above to provlde ample room for the bati and wraps of tbe little foiks. For the preseut, it la perhaps trUS that two additional rooms would be SUfflclent, but very soon more will be needeil. The library aml laboratory uow need an abiding place, aml it would no doubl be more ei ononiical to build for on, c wliat is certaiu to be needed very soon tban to make two or i hrce obs aml patches. Buob au addition sbould be of brick, With slate roof, plaiu aml made to correspond sillv tantuilly with the present building, aud need not he very exneuaive. That it la necessary to do aoiuetblng is beyond (iies tion. Cau any one iutereated auggest some- thing better? On Angust 1ft H. B.
