Te the Jieartl et Dlrrctorie the t'otnmen .ScAoet.
of the Vilu e Laneaiter
Your Judiciary committee te whom was re
ferred the question as te hew the law requir
ing twenty tlays te be Uught in overy month
can be complied with, respectfully report :
Taat tne manaate or me act of June ',
1SS5, It appears te be Imperative "that a com
mon school mouth shall hereafter consist of
twenty days actual teaching." The rule of
our beard has fixed ten holidays, live days
from Christmas te New Year and four days
during Institute woek, are usually granted,
making In all nineteen non-school days, and
which by said act de net compose part el 'JOO
days requlred ler ten months, he that for the
current term there will have been tauvht
only Its actual days.
This iion-eompllance with the law may be
remedied In two ways, either by prolonging
the school term for 4.1 weeka te 44 weeks, or
ly striking out three cf the school holidays,
which are net legal holidays, namely, I las ter
Monday, Ascension Thursday and Whit
Monday. Ne school shall be kept open en
any legal holiday, or during the tlmoef hold held
I n if the annual cenntv Institute.

' LANavsTKn, March 4, lS8a
Mr. F.vans asked whether the allowance by
the state et the days used In attending the
teachers Institute did net relieve the beard
Irera the embarrassment Indicated by the
judiciary committee' report T
Mr. Baker replied that It did net and
quoted 4he law en the subject.
Mr. Brosius thought it mistake te attain
great Importance te therepert of thejudiclary
committee, as he did net think the appro
priation could le ftfleel ,-d by a violation of the
law, for tnere is no penally for such viola
tion. Any rule that Is made must be flexible
te provide for the legal holidays.
Dr. Levergood said he had written te the
state department in reference te the matter
but had received no detinue answer.
The matter was discussed further and Mr.
Ilartman offered as an amendment te the
rule i, that " Iho K-lioela kliull be epeued en
the first schoelday in September and closed
after tbey have been open 200 teaching days."
The amendment went eyer under the rules.

Te the llenril 0 Scheel Directors
Okntlkmkn Your city suiierlntetident
submits the following report of the public
schools for the month el February :
The wiiole number et pupils In attend
ance waa 2117 in the high schools ; SSI in the
grammar ; (1.19 iu the secondary ; 40 in the
ungraded ; 70S in the Intermediate, and 1,201
in the primary. Total, 3,335. The liumber
In attendance at the night schools was 112,
Tlie average attendance was ISC In the high
schools ; 34ft In the grammar ; MO in the
secondary ; 30 In the ungraded ; CM In the
intermediate, and (i7!l in the primary. Total,
2, SO). The Hverage attendance at the night
schools was B0.
The number el pupils who made lull time
was HIT,
The avorage perconlage was 80. The mini
Iter of tciicliers in attondauceat the teachers
ineellngH was Ct. The visits made by the
city superintendent numbered 83 ; these
miide by directors, 07, as fellows : II. IC
Hreneman, 3; W. Jehnsen, ID; W. Mc
Conomy, 30; W. O. Marshall, 10; Dr. J.
t.overgeod, tl ; A. .. Itingwalt, C. Schwobel
and Dr. IL M. Ileleulus each 1 :.I. MeKllllps,
17 ; Hen. J. It. Warlel, .1 ; J. W. Ilyrne nnd
T. It. Cochran, each 2.
The statistics given above wheu
compared with theso of February ISM,
show an Incrathe of -" per cent, in
the general avorage attendance, wliile
the high school shows an Increase of 47 per
cent, the grammar and secondary schools
(exclusive of the German aud Kngllsh school,
which then embraced a primary department,
and can therefere net be compared with the
present exclusively grammar and secondary
departments), 39 per cent, whlle the intir intir
mediatn and primary show pn increase of
only 20 per cent 'J hese figures plainly show
net only the general growth of the school
system, which may be the result merely of
an increase in the population of tlie city, but
also and mero especially the better condition
of our primary schools, thus enabling a great
er number te avail themselves of the superior
advantages of our upper grade schools. Iu
view or the tact that the average attendance
In our schools has thus Increased, it would
seem probable that the population of our city
Is new UO.OOa IT tills is se, and If this Is all
that is necessary te constitute Lancaster a
city of the third class, I would again suggest
te the beard the consideration of the pro
priety of establishing a city instltute, holding
its sesHiens during the first week in Septotn Septetn Septotn
ber, instead of requiring our teachers te at
tend the county Instltute lu November, thus
closing our schools for an ontlre week during
the best period of the session.
Very respectfully your obedient servant,
It. IC. Ilt'iniiu.i:.
Teat Heeks.
Dr. llerr, of the committee en leit lioeks,

pesu ui leacuiug pnysioiegy Willi
siwclal reference te the ellects of stimu
lants aud narcotics en the (human systetn,

mittee would respectlully report that in

number of colored plates, as well as Illus
trations of the skeleton, osseoua system,
muscular, llbeus and nervous systems, as
well as voluntary and Involuntary muscles ;

amply aulUcleut at the present time Iu con
nection with the various charts and maps
already lu use In our various schools ; and
therefore report no apparatus uecesnary at
this tlme.
Respectfully submitted,

Instructed te Ulre a Contract.
Mr. Ilartman moved that a special com cem com
mltteo et seven be appointed te attend te

J It A BIintOKir COMPACT.
A IliirlMqiie and Specialty I'erfermsncs That
Had Much Merit.
The attraction at the epern heuse last
night was Ida Millions' burlesque and
specialty company, and n hotter entertain
ment of Its kind has net been given here this
year. The audience was net se large as the
management had a right te expect It seems
that whoneier a show, with the name of a fe fe
niale at IU head comes here, nlotofpooplolm nletofpooplolm nlotefpooplolm
aglno that It Is net dcccnLThcse cranks remain
away from the opera heuse and koep ethers
home. In lait night's show there was noth
ing said or dene te ell'end anyone, yet there
wero perhaps but a half-deen ladles In tlie
heuse. Miss Hlddens had never been lu this
city before, and hnr being a stranger, may
have had something tn de with thoslze or the
audlence. It matters very llttle te Lancaster
eople what Is Kal'J In pralse of a show In ad
vance ; they will net patron 1 70 it until they
have a guarantee that they will get tbe worth
of their niotiey. Next week "Unc'e Tem's
Cabin" will be presented here and the crowds
will fleck te il. They are acquainled with
Tem, butde net knew ene et his cempanies
from another.
Last night's show opened with a pretty
scene. Fin e young ladles wero In Bwlngsaud
soveu sat In a unit circle. Thore was singing
by soveral of the females,alid West and Sands
furnished the fun. Part second was opened
by Miss Leu Hanfnrd, ene of the most popu
lar serio-cemic of the day. She is a line
singer nnd dancer and the straightforward
conversation that sliogave the audience made
her a great faiorlte. The act or Constan Constan
tieo and Wert entitled "The Thespians"
was something new and Mr. Constantine was
given an opportunity ei displaying lets of
ability nnd line clothing In his fomale Imper
sonations. Lizzle Mill vey and llelle Cliften,
two of the best female dancers before the
public, gave their songs and daucos,lntroduc dauces,lntroduc daucos,lntreduc
Ing the skipping rnpe and gre.it reel and
wing dancing. 1'res.s I'.ld ridge, acemedian,
who Is really lunny and original, told a num
ber el geed steries, and I Ike Miss Sanlnrd.gal'e
the audlence n talking te. Mixs Siddons,
the handsome lady whose name the show
hears, gnea line performance el skipping
retie. The Mikade Trie, composed of Miss
Hanford aud llnrtolle sisters, astonished all
and their singing of the popular airs from
"Mikade" was as geed as that or any ladles
heard in opera companies here this season.
The act of tun six fomale drum majors was
pretty and the Fascinating Four illd some
clever singing and dancing. Keating and
Sands' musical act was among the best, and
besides the music they made lets of fun.
The show closed with a burlesque entitled
I'rlnce Falthlul which introduced at least a
dozen well formed ladies who were beautiful
but semewhat limited costumes. They gitve
songs nnd dances and in milts or armor did
some remarkably Hue drilling under the lead
ership of Miss Hiddens. Harry Constantine
appeared as the fairy and did considerable
dllllciilt dancing or the ballet kind. The
costumes lists! in the pieces were rich and
elegant The show went te A lien town this
morning and the weather will be much colder
when they again visit Lancaster.

Tayler's orchestra furnished the music,
aud the Uddlers, who erten sit at the foot
lights in 1 niten opera heuse, declared the
acting te be a geed de.il better than most el
the professionals give us. The nudience was
of like mind.
The first play, a three-act comedy, had
nover been produced here, and was, we be bo be
Meve, entirely new te theso who studied tlie
parts. The rehearsals wero net altogether
premising, and the management hud seme
misgivings about Its success. But from the
first It was a go ; It rati very smoothly, the
stage machlnery worked without a creak or
catch, and the actors net only went ever their
lines without a trip, but brought out many
points by seme very clever acting. 1-spe-clallv
Miss Kaufman In the work-box scene
and otlier parts et the play shewed herself
tiessevsed of rare abilities.
Tlie favorite farce. "liex and Cox," was
admirably done. The make-up of Mr. Feu

acting of all tlie players beyond criticism.
The pe Tormance lasted two hours and a

New Yerk city was en the verge of a riot

through (Jrand street and the '.Howery, seme
crazy with drink, and ethers with the rising

prehension. It was asserted by the strikers Wednesday
night that there would be trouble ir the
officer or the Grand street Hue attempted te
run a car ever their read with new men.
Violence, It was stated, would be used ir
neceaary te prevent this In the hope that the
company's chatter would then be forfeited
under tbe law which makes at least
ene trip a day compulsory. The squads
of strikers who gathered In the streets
about the terminus or the read at
Grand street and the East river within an
hour after daylight, all talking of what was
te be done in case n car was started, proved
that they meant te carry out their threats.
They kept away from the company's ofllces,
liowevor, wbere thecommltteeof the Km pi re
Protective association was contending with
tlie railroad officials, but overy inove In tbe
car sheds and stables was closely watched.
Twe hundred policemen had been ordered
en the scene, aud when Superintendent
Murray saw the strikers gathering in such
lorce he ordered a rescrve ferce of 300 mero
te be kept in the station houses near by.
The presence of the police, however, did
net deter the men Irem placing Idle wageus
across the tracks, piling rubbish and timbers
efall kinds in the way and teariug up the
automatic switch txnera. The company
made no attempt te run cars or operafo their
line until 11 o'clock, when a car was pulled
out of the depot at a lively rate, with Inspec
tor Steers and a few policeman en tlie front
platterm.
As It went down the stroet n crowd el men,
women and children followed It, hoetliigaud
yelling at the driver and smashing the car
windows. The car did net get many blocks
away. At the first crossing tlie cars of the
Uelt line were stepped, and blocked the
read, and when they were moved the Hous Heus Hous
eon street ears were found te be an additional
obstruction. One car was turned ever and
placed en its side en the track, and the at
tempt had te be given up at last and tlie car
run bac te the stable.
Tbe strikers wero in gleoevortho result of
their first Btruggle with the company. Their
numbers seemed te be swelling as neon ap
proached, for both sides or Grand street from
the brewery te the Hast river were lined
with them and their sympathizers. At hair
past 2 car Se. lKi was run out or the sheds
with tlie same police guard as the lint enn
had, and a crowd of lully &00 poeplo followed
it en the Journey towards the llewery. It
get within a lew blocks of that thoroughfare
when the work began which inanv of the
on-leokors believed would only eud'ln bleed,
shed.
The Second, Third and I eurtli a enue cars
cress the tracks of the Grand street line at
this point, and as the car en the latter toad
came In sight, with the mob en Its heels, the
cars of the ether lines were stepped, the
horses unhitched and the passengers politely
asked te alight. Seme or the women be
came frightened and n few remonstrated, but
the cars wero seen cleared, pulled ever telhe
Junction and then turned ever en their sldes
en the tracks of the elfendlng company.
Light cars were thus capsized befere the po
lice could lutorfere, and travei net oulyen
the Grand street line, but en the ether three
running down the Bowery, was ellectually
slopped until near 5 o'clock.
The work was dene se quickly aud quietly
that few or the spectators realized what was
happening. Net a blew had been struck or
a person injured, but ene of the cars caught
tire Irem an overturned steve and the con
tusion that ensued added te the jeers or the
mob lit the officers and created the fear that a
riot w as en the point of breaking out. There
were rumors, tee, that many passeugers had
net time te get out or the overturned cars
aud were Imprisoned within them. This
feeling or alarm was increased by the cautious
ness et many shop keepers, who put up their
shutters and locked their store doers.
More alarming thau any or these was the
report which spread through the 3,000 specta
tors that all the ether drivers and conductors
iu the city had ' tied up" and were hurrying
te join their comrades in the fight This bad
its origin lu tbe temporary "tin up" by the
llreadwuy men, who for seme reason sup
posed they had been ordered te de se. They
resumed work In iesathan two hours, how
ever. In the mean tlme, platoons or (tellce
had cleared the streets in the neighborhood
or Grand street and the llewery, and the dis
turbance was quelled. The Grand street cars
get through, in the course or an hour or tw e,
and made the required trip.

of lectures given under tbe auspices of the
College Y. M. O. A., was delivered by Prof.
J. II. Dubbs, D. D. The subject of his lecture
was "Hobbles and hew te Ride Them." The
lecturer mentioned seme et the principal
hebbies characteristic of different classes of
men; and then related numerous historical
instances, Illustrating his lecture as he
went along. Among literary men he men
tioned the strong desire of some te
collect all the old and rare books,
elten buying them at almost fabulous
prices. The collection or rare coins was given
as another " hobby " or a certain class or
people. But the most popular or all was that
of autograph huu rs;he told hew it elten
becomes a bore, and hew semutimes theso
who engage in this kind of work are de
ceived by counterfeiters.
Tbe lecturer stated that we all had our hob
bles, which also was right, but tlie difficulty
came in it we did net knew hew te
ride them. Te this part el the sub
ject Dr. Dubbs devoted the latter
part of his lecture "Hew te Ride our Hob
bies," he answered In four comprehenslve
rules, and anyene following them will net
ride his hobby tee fast, neither will he be
thrown off.
During the lecture Dr. Dubbs gave many
practical illustrations which wero very Inter
esting and at the same tlme entertaining.
The lecture was geed aud showed an exten
sive research in this special department
An additional feature te the lecture was
the excellent music rendered by the quar
