Tliat theßoaad of Cook County Commis sioners be rc»pectfullv requestoil to take such stops as will relieve the city of Cliicagu from bearing tho Imr den of supporting ihe Ccok County Normal and Tralu ingSchiKil.

Jnlinmnn Conduct of a Resident of Fourth Avenue—He Permit* a Woman to Perish From Cold in III* Yard—Coroner’# Inquest ou the Rein alns. A case of inhuman conduct, which resulted in the freezing to death of a woman, was brought to the knowledge of the police authorities yesterday morning. About 8 o’clock a report reached the First Precinct Station that the body of a woman was lying in a yard in the rear of No. 388 Fourth avenue. Policeman Newland was detailed to look into the matter, and ho visited the locality mentioned. He found that tho report was correct, and, upon Inquiry, learned that one John Bette, in whoso yard the body was lying, had seen the woman late on Monday night, and spoken to her, but did not ask her to coiue into his house and warm herself. lie must hare known that If allowed to remala whore she was she would be frozen to death, but, as she was under the influence of liquor, he did not want her by his fireside. The door was closed against her, and in the morning her body was found in tho snow. The Coroner was notifled, and it was adduced in tho testimony that Betts went out several times during tho night to see how the woman was getting along, but failed to take her in, or to notify the police of her whereabouts. The jury returned a verdict of frozen to death, censuring Betts for his inhumanity. Who the de ceased was is not known. Her appearance indi cated that sho was one of a numerous class of outcasts who oscillate between the police stations and the Bridewell, and have no permanent resi dence. Sho was about 23 years or age, and very noorlv clad. The undertaker took charge of tho body, and will bury it in tho Potter’s Field. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune Bin: In view of the hitter denunciations of in surance companies, and complaining of delays and illiherality in their adjustment of losses, I consider that justice demands that I should bear testimony to tho prompt and honorable dealing with mo of tho following companies, which paid me with promptness the full sum of their respec tive policies: Liverpool, London and G10be..............

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune Sie I have been informed that about 150 teachers ■were thrown out of employment by tho burning of the school buildings in your city. If such is tho case, and if any of these teachers •would like employment in country schools dur ing tho "winter, I can find employment for about fliteen In this and adjoining counties. Perhaps such employment may bo a relief to them.andit •will certainly be an accommodation to us. iho compensation -we can offer is low, but it is the best that can bo made at present. It is from S3O to per month. Boarding, however, la corre spondingly low—from $2.50 to $3.60 per week. r if yoawllbc kind enough to giro this note a place in your paper, I will attend to any oorro fiTicndonue from teachers, and do all I can to se cure them situations.
