Th Scheel Beard Committee Tnll te Re-
Recommend Any Etymology te Be
Dropped la the Hlf h Scheel.
The May meeting of the Lancaster city
school beard was held en Thursday even
ing, in common council chamber, with the
following members present: Messrs. Bole Bele
nlus, Breneman, Brinten, Brosey, Cochran,
Jehnsen, Kautr, Llchty, Llppeld, Marshall,
McCemsey, McDonnell, MoElllgett, Mc
Killips, McMullen, Pentz, Ralbfen, Hellly,
Reynolds, Reland, Sureyer, Shirk, Warfel,
Wicket-sham, Winewer, Wehisen, Wolf
and Dr. McCermlck, president.
The reading of the minutes of the April
meeting was dispensed with.
Mr.Cochran,ef the flnance committee, re
ported the current bills for the month aud
en his motion, the same being correct, the
treasurer was authorized te pay the same.
Mr. McKllltps, of the preperty commit
tee, submitted the following :
City councils have agreed te build a
sewer en Mary street, commencing at the
corner of Mary and Walnut streets and ex
tending te Chestnut street. They ask the
preperty holders between these points te
subscribe 9300. The distance is one square.
The Lancaster city school beard owns
property known as West Walnut street
school building. Sewerage is badly needed
at this point, and will be a great advan
tage te this school building. We recom
mend that the property committee be au
thorized te subscrile$25 toward the build
ing of the same. This amount gives us the
right te connect without additional cost.
We have also been called upon te sub
scribe the same amount for the same
purpose en New street, but at this
time don't knew the advantage, if any, te
the school property at this point, but will
ascertain, and if sowerage is needed,
would recommend the same amount with
the same right of connecting.
The janitor at the Lemen street school,
Philip Myers, has been relieved for sufll
clent cause, and Geerge Lcntz appointed in
his place. We ask the approval of the
beard in this change.
The rccoinmendatious of the committee)
were approved.
TEXT BOOK COMMITTER.
Dr. Belcnius, from the committee en text
books, reported the books in use in the
several schools in the city and as required
by the rules submitted recommendations
for the coming year.
The cominittee recommend that the
study of etymology be drop) I from the
course of Instruction in the high school and
a change in the history in the girl's high
school. The text book new used, "8 win win
ten's outiines," has been In hhe ever ten
years and is tion-interestlng. The cominit ceminit cominit
teo lias net selected a history te take the
place of Swluten's, but will, if their action
is approved, recommend a text book te
take hi place.
As te teaching physiology and hygione,
with special reforeuco te alcoholic stimu
lants and narcetlce, by means cf a text
bonk, the committee, although disapprov
ing of the present text book new in use in
the secondary grammar, claim It te be tee
fur advanced a work for our schools, yet
in looking up the matter we find there are
no geed text books published en the sub sub
ject. In connection with the above the follow
ing petition was presented and read :
Te the Heard 0 Directors of Public Schoelt.
Ok.nti.kmkn: The Women's Christian
Temporance Union and friends of the
causodeslre te call your attention te the
need of additional text books upon the
subject of temperance hygiene for use in
the lewer grades of the public schools.
Prier te your last meeting two of the best
books of the Pathfinder series were sent te
Dr. liolenlua, chairman of cominittee en
text hooks, in the hope that if tlme had
permitted, they might have been ex
amined as te their merits at the April
meeting. We earnestly urge this matter
becausu se many children leave school at
se early age that they de net have the op
portunities of thorough instruction which
the higher grades ofter and which the law
requires. Their information as te the
dangers resulting from intoxicants, nar
cotics, tobacco and cigaicttes, cannot be tee
exact or cxtensi ve. We lieg te remind you
also that this effort is net the work of a few
persons, but the united action of the tem
peraneo women of Lancaster sustained by
the temperance sentlnient of the state and
nation.
If you will doclde te aid us in this at
tempt by introducing these text books into
the schools, wohepothr.t In the near future
many of the evils which new afflict this
community may be entirely abolished.

te Lemen, te Duke and te Recklund street,
while the new building en Seuth Mulberry

THE ANTI-TRU8TJBU.Ii PASSED.
With a Might Amendment, the Meuse
Adepts It Almeat Unanimously.
After an extended discussion the Heuse
en Thursday passed with a alight amend
ment the Senate bill te protect trade and
commerce against unlawful restraints and
monopolies, better known aa the anti
trust bill. In the opening debate Mr. Wil Wil
eon, of West Virginia, criticised the ma
jority for Ita method of conducting busi
ness. There was no great legislative
chamber among any of the fore
most nations of the world in which there
was se much blind voting as In the Ameri
can Heuse of Representatives. The rules
were se administered that no member could
tell what measure was te be brought up for
the day's deliberation. Here was a bill
bristling with pains and penalties, making
criminal acta which te-day were net crimi
nal, deranging the course of trade among
the states, Introducing doubt and distrust
Inte business, yet the Heuee waa called
upon te put it en the statute books without
deliberate or Intelligent discussion.
The rest of his speech was In advocacy of
free wool. He thought the tariff was re re re
Bponslble for the necessity of the formation
of trusts.
Mr. K. B. Tayler, of Ohie, answered Mr.
Wilsen's speech, denying that the tariff
caused trusts. He said free trade anyhow
was the hotbed of trusts. There were no
trusts here in the iron, woolen or cotton
industries, all of which were protected.
Mr. Cannen, of Illinois, also answered Mr.
Wilsen's 8eech, which be referred te aa
" chestnutty."
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, offered an
amendment making unlawful any contract
or agreement te prevent competition in the
sale or purchase of any commodity, trans
ported from one state te another. He be
lieved that this amendment would strike
at the beef trust of Chicago without leaving
it te a court te decide.
After the close of the debate, Mr. Bland's
amendment was adopted en a viva voce
vote, and the bill was passed in the same
manner, with a single dissenting vete.
The bill declares te be Illegal every con
tract, combination in the form of trust or
etherwise, or conspiracy In restraint of
trade et commerce among the several
states or with foreign countries; and pro
vides that every person who shall make
any such contract or engage In such com
bination or conspiracy, shall be deemed
guiltv of a misdemeanor, aud en convic
tion thereof shall be punished by tlne net
exceeding $5,000 or by imprisonment net
exceeding ene year or by both In the dis
cretion of the court. The same punishment
Is prescribed for persons' convicted of mo
nopolizing or attempting te monopolize,
or combining or conspiring with ether
persons te monopolize any part of the trade
or commerce among the soveral states or
with foreign nations.

SOME POLITICAL TIPS.

B resins Theucut te Be "Entirely tee Or-
namenUl ' and Failure te Prevlda
Postal facilities Makea Enemies.
QttAMtYViMJc, May 2. Quarry vllle, the
political as well aa the commercial metrop
olis of the " Lewer End," en the eve of the
primaries la anxious and ready for the
fray. The patriotic fellows who have spent
money and sacrificed their time lu going
te Lancaster every Monday te aee that
only geed men and true are placed en
guard at the court house and In Washing Washing
lugten are ready te kindly Instruct and
fix the tickets of their less Interested neigh neigh
bera. The boys have received their erdera
and the fight between the different factions
is en. . ,
If Jehn Sides has as many friends in
every ether section aa he has lu this, Keller
and Shirk may as well leek around for an
unoccupied ground-hog bole. Ilia friends
In the Lewer End are legion and he'll
aweep the country. Eden will cast almost
a solid vote for him. East Drumore, Prov
idence. Celeraln. Fulton. Little Britain
and West Drumore will give hlmagreat
vote.
Hartman will carry the township and re
ceive a big vote all evor tbe lower end.
His tour of the lewer end, recently,
strengthened him. McMellen has some
strength In Bart. Ilyus won't rocelvo the
Heg Ring vote.
Geyer is the strongest candidate for teg
later. B. F. W. Urban Is a popular candidate
and will receive a big vete. He Is solid
with tbe G. A. R. Mart Fry will be sec
ond and Geerge Hunter will recelve h
light vote, being an ex-resldent of Bart.
Jehn Keen will get a geed vete, though
Will has made lets of friends and may
carry this township. Al. Werth will ro re ro
eolvo a great vote all ever the Lewer End.
Carter has lest ground during tbe last
ten days and llershey Is strong.
The fox bunting fraternlty will be for
Andy Hershey.and he and Miller Patterson
will be a hard pair te beat.
Ne interest is taken in the directors of
the peer.
Fer corenorPotcr Honemauhastho sym
pathy or the Lewor Enders, and It will
count. He'll carry all the townships.
There is net much interest taken in the
election of delegates, consequently the
Martin pair will get the vete of the Lewer
End. Ills friends In Eden have kept very
still, and inhere had beeu anything of a
centest, he would have been unmercifully
beaten. He is decidedly unpopular lu
Eden.
Ne Individual candidate made as many
friends lu as short a time in this county as
Hlestand, for county treasurer ; he will
carry Eden and possibly soveral of the
ether lower townships. Martin is net
popular and is thought te have had enough.
The legislative fight is ene-sided; It will be
Geiger and Eby.' Baldwin, Peeples and
Ueldelbaugh are looked upon as back
numbers. Chandler may get the Grand
Army vote. Geiger is a strenic candidate
and will give Baldwin a bustle in bis own
home.
The candidaev of Myers la looked upon
with favor, though the enemles of U resins
are disposed te concede him a second term
and the friends of Myers arolnacllve, but
the township is likely te go for Myers.
Breslus has scarcely any strength; the ma
jority of tbe Grand Army is against him j
they leek upon him as " entirely tee orna
mental." The "Valley" Is against him
because of his failure te previde mall facili
ties, the postelllce at May having been
practically abandoned and when appealed
te Breslus has net given thorn satisfaction.
The town Is very bitter because of his plac
ing the postefneo in the eastern side
against the wishes of the patrons, and his
friends in the village are without any In
fluence at the polls.
In the townships of Fulton, Celerain and
Little Britain many of the substantial cltl cltl
zens will vete agatupt him.
The whole fight will be amusing. There
will be some funny rclurus from the lewer
end en Monday.
Keep your eye en them.
SEVtSRAI. WITHDRAW.
Jacob M. Wltmer, Charles M. Strlneaud
David S. Rettew Out or the Ffglit
ou Saturday.
The politicians are busy te-day making
final arrangements for te-morrow's big
tight. There have been a few declinations
which will have an important bearing en
tbe result.
The most Important was the withdrawal
of Charles M. Strine for the office of clerk
cf tbe quarter sessions. His friends bad
hoped te get him en a combination and
being unsuccessful in that direction be had
no chance te win and he was induced to
day te withdraw. The withdrawal will
benefit Martin S. Fry, and ills nomination
Is new conceded by knowing politicians
1). S. Rettew has gene out of the fight for
member of the Legislature from the city
district. He and his friends saw that
Franklin's nomination was a certainty with
three candidates and he withdrew for the
purpose of helping McClaln te win. Mc
clain's chances are improved, but Franklin
still has the host of the tight.
Jacob Witmer has drepped out of the
sheriff's fight, The lltlle strength he had
will be dlvlded bctweeu Keller and Sides,
with the advantage slightly lu favor of
Keller.
Efferts were mnde te get Aldus Herr out
of the read in the register's contest. He
has strength In the Lainiieter and Stras
burg which could be turned te tbe advan
tage of Musser. Streng inducements wero
held out te Herr te withdraw, but he has
refused te de se. His friends say he Is in
the fight and cannot afford te withdraw.
Efferts were also made te get ether can
didates who are lu the read of some of the
bosses te withdraw, but thus far ttiey have
been unsuccessful. Numerous mysterious
conferences wero held te-day between
leaders from all sertlens of the county and
by to-innrrew thore may be strauge politi
cal bed fellows. Men who have been de
nouncing each ether all through this cam
paign were In close consultation te-day.
When questioned they declined te talk of
the object of the meeting.
The Hastings boom started with Thes.
Keller's brass band and dress parade ou
Monday has about petered out. The sen
timent of the county is se decidedly in
favor of Martin that but little headway was
made, notwithstanding the Hastings dele
gates claim te le for Martin. They are
net his cholce aud his friends at the polls
will be for the men he has selected.
The tlckel which will be voted for at to
morrow's eloctieti, has net less than five
llerstieys se tue peopie may nave some
trouble te keen from mixing them up.
Benjamin Hershey, of this city, dealer in
horses, is a candidate for county commis
sioner, and Andrew II. Hershey, merchant
of Irenvllle, wants te be prison inspector.
Emanuel II. Hershey, of Gordenvllle, Is
new a director of the peer and desires a
re-election. J. Milten Hershey, of this
citv, formerly a watchman at the prison,
aud Tobias II. Hershey, of Kaphn, want
t beauuiteis.
There Is a movement en feet at present
te strengthen Keller, whose friends have
been very busy at weik all day. They
have recogulzed;the fact that Sides has been
steadily gaining, and they have been afraid
that he would be a winner. They seem
determined that Keller shall net be left if
there is any oshible means of electing
him. Friends of Keller are te-day mere
confident that he will he elected than
they have been for several days. Some say
that a great deal of money Is te be put Inte
tbe fight for him te-morrow, while ethers
say there are some people who intend te
sellout se as te benefit Keller. Politicians
have been having their heads close to
gether all day aud it is said that there are
surprises lu store for the public. Every
body knows that thore is something un
usual going en, but it is dlfllcult te get at
tbe bottom of It,

estimated at Trout 2.,000 te 30,000. Many
of the trades had " floats" en which mem
bers or the croft pursued their dally occu

" Organization, Kducatien, Agitation."
"United Stales Klght-Heur Revolution,

What the Federation President Says.
Samuel Uonipers, president erthe Ameri
can Federation of Laber, arrived In L'ils
vllle, Ky., 011 Thursday. In an Interview
about the eight-hour movement he said :
"Scarcely anything that has been done
has been hidden from the public. Our con
ferences have all been upon and we have let
the people Inte our conlldencea mere than
any ether body ever did. At the St. Leuis
convention of the Ainerlcan Federation of
Lalier, In December, 1888, we resolved upon
and decided te make nn effort for the eight
hour movement in 1800; te conduct a sys
tematic education net only of wage workera
but of all ethers. We held muss meetings
all ever the United States and Canada en
four different days, setting apart for that
purpese Washington's birthday, 4th of July
und ethor such days. Other mass meetings
were held te discuss the labor problem and
the eight-hour nioveitionl.
" As a necessary proceeding, a number
of books were written and circulated. A
nuinber of noled men wero retained, and
ene of these books, ' Trade Unionism,' and
numereusi-lrcuhirs wero distributed broad
cast. At the international labor conven
tion In Paris, in 1889. held In conjunction
with the grout exhibition, representatives
or all the trade and labor organizations or
the world assembled, but, owing te political
questions, they spilt up. I urged them te
Jein with the American Federation of
Laber, and te unite en or.e thing, the eight
hour movemont, and they did me.
" The demonstration is bound te be held
at the same time all evor the world In
America. Kugland, Gerinauy, Austria,
France, Russia, Italy and ethor countries.
The feeling overywhoro is 0110 of intense
Interest. In Austria, Germany aud Russia
the erder has gene forth that any man who
leaves his work en May 1, will at ence be
discharged. The military parade the streets
te Intimidate the worklugmeu from mak
ing demonstrations. The tnenarchs and
autocrats of Europe are quaking; they de
net knew what the movement portends.
We want elght hours ; we mean te get it.
We have no ethor purposes in vlew. We
have concentrated en tue eight hour move
ment first. There Is a concentrated attempt
of the pewers that lie te antagonize the
movement. They can't step it ; they can
only postiieno it. We concentrate en one
thing at a tlme. All ether referms are laid
aside until this nocessary one is attained,
We are te win If It takes a decade."
