Up to the Letter of the Law
and Their Oaths.
3IUC3 C03IMEXT BEING INDULGED UN.
Men of Honorable Intent Anil Do Their Duty, Whether
Sworn to Do So or ot.
The State appropriation to bo divided be
tween the public school districts orPennsyl
vania is now $5,000,000 and it is more an item
of interest than usual The fact that IIouso
bill Xo. 515 had been passed suddenly
dawned upon the members of the Brushton
School Board, and they having organized
were in a stew, tho fear that some of tbemJ
-k ere laid liable to tho penalty or tho law
causing them to bustle toward a special
meeting to settle their status. They breathedJ
more trecly, however, after an investigation.
Hon. E. E. Cotton, when asked for an opin
ion, read the bill in answer, but came to tho
conclusion that the view taken by tho Cen
tral Board of Education was correct, and
that the bill does not take effect until noxfo.
year. In brief, tho enactment requires that
all school directors must be sworn before
entering upon tho discharge of their duties
and. as it specifies that this must be dono
from and after the passage of the actbyalli
elected, it subsequently led to uneasiness re
garding the date of passage.
"HIiatMnst He fcworn To.
School directors must swear to perform all
their duties as prescribed by the school laws
of the State They must swear that they
liave not used any unlawful means to secure
the office, and further that they will support
the Constitution of the State and that of tho
United States. They must make an affidavit
before a Justice of the Tence or a Notary
Public n copy of the oath to bo forwarded to
the Department of Public Instruc
tion to be llled and a minute of tho
shearing to be entered in the records of
the local board. Aiiv violation of the law
-works a forfeiture ot the state appropria
tion, wliich in this city amounts to the neat
littlo sum of $100,000 or moie for her schools.
In addition to tin- lorfeiture a failure on tho
part of a director to comply makes him
guilty of a mi'-dcmcanoi.
It will be seen that the law provides a
strong incentive to the people of each dis
trict to keep the directors up to the mark, as
a violation by one forfeits the appropriation.
What caused tho commotion in some sec
tions was the impression that their new
boards had not organized before the ap
jiroval of the net, but the Central Board de
cides that only those elected next year must
romply with the law, though the "Secretary
ncknowledged that he wasn't sure but that
nil who serve next year must take the oath;
lie thought not, however, basing his reason
on tho reading of the net.
AVliat Is to Be Found in Office.
It w onld seem scarcely fair to make those
elected next year sw ear, w hile some already
In escape and, perhaps have been elected by
means more unlawful. 'Whether true or not,
it is believed that some people see a great
deal more in school directorship than the
merage unsophisticated citizen does. In
the first place it is regard-id by some as a
ttepping-stone to political office which leads
to the securing of loaves and fishes, and
there have been rumors of considemble
uniounts of money having been spent to
secure the office in times past,
tho expenditure not stimulated by an
ardent desire for tho public welfare. One
ca-o was reported some years ago in which
it was hinted that a man had paid $200 to se
cure the omen which on the sqnare wasn't
aflrtli anything except to one who felt iliaf
be had a mission to improve the morale and
efficiency of the schools.
In districts where the people are deeply
interested in the schools tho path of the
crooked director will be beset with thorns,
as the possible loss of the State appropria
tion will be an added incentive to those who
ure disposed to watchfulness.
Sleeting 'With General Satisfaction.
In Pittsburg very little seems to be known
about the piovisions of the bill. Tho section
providing for the administration of the oath
of office to school directors, however, seems
to meet with general satisfaction. Chief J.
O. Brown, of the Department of Public
safety, a prominent .-chool director and
jnember of the Central Board of Education,
said:
"The provision for swearing in school
boards is certainly a just one. A school di
rector occupies a responsible position, just
as any other official, and should be required
to take the oath for the faithful performance
of hUdutj,."
JIayor oourley said: "A school directors-hip
is a public trust just as much as any
other office. The man who hold tit has the
di-position of the people's mouev and busi
ness on his hands, and there could be no ob
jection raised to hisbeingsworn into office."
Citj Clerk George Booth, who is Secretary
of the Franklin school Board, said: "It will
make very little difference whether the
school directors are sworn or not. The fact
is an honest man w ill faithfully perform the
duties of his office v ithont any oath, w hile a
rascal will care no more for his pledge than
a straw. I w ould as soon take the w ord as
the sw om statement of an honest man. Nev
ertheless then? can no harm result from the
sw earing of school directors and few will
object to it "
The Board of Directors of tho Riverside
School, Thirty-fourth ward, met on Wednes
day evening and elected the officers ot tho
board forthe ensuing year. P. .1. Daley was
chosen President; John Collins, becretary,
and John J Murray. Treasurer.
The annual picnic of tho school will be
held at McKee's Hocks on Friday, June 2fi.
At n meeting ot the Board of Directors of
the Morse sub-District School, Twenty-fifth
-ward, held on Wednesday evening, John
McKain was elected to All a vacancy in tho
board created by the resignation .ot Henry
Stolzcnbach.
THE HEAT CONTINUES.
Two Deaths Yesterday Troin Sunstroke
Cooler Weather Promised.
The weather yesterday was very much
the same as the previous day un
til 4 r. si., when the rain cooled
off the atmosphere considerably. The
highest point reached by tho thermom
eter was S4at2r. at. The storm will not
bring sufficient rain to affect the rivers, and
will cool the atmosphere so that to-day w ill
be pleasant.
An Italian, name unknown, employed at
Carnegie Bros. & Co."s Homestead mills, was
overcome by the heat yesterday. He was
taken to a drugstore and physicians called,
but he died in about two hours. The Coro
ner was notified, but he ordered the doctors
to issue a burial certificate, as the cause of
death was known.
The remains of the Austrian who died at
the West Penn Hospital yesterday from the
effects of the heat were identified last night
as those of Michael Mocan who has been
living in Allegheny since his arrival here
two months ago. He secured his first em
ployment at Howe, Brown & Co.'s mill on
Tuesday. On Wednesday he drunk very
copiously of water while at work and this Is
believed to have caused him to succumb to
the heat on the way home lrom work. The
Coroner's inquest w ill be held this morning.

THERE ARE ROSES AND ROSES'.
Some of tho Expected Jane Display "Which
Does Not aiatcriallzo Very Well Why It
Is Well to See What Can Bo Had at
Homo.
This is tho time of year when city florists
smile a broad smilo, and when many people
who have gardens in the suburbs badly
want to see a man. To appreciate the situa
tion It is, as the novelist says, necessary to
shift tho scene and carry the gentle reader
back to last autumn, 'or perhaps a year
earlier.
When tho November winds are scattering
the last leaves from suburban trees, tho
householder is not infrequently summoned
to meet a man at the door with samples of
beautiful roses which bloom in the spring
tnila. They are usually from Eastern nur
series; and prettier things were never seen
than the pictures of them on paper in full,
gorgeous, luxuriant bloom. These, highly
colored, take the eye of the suburban resi
dent. The American Beauty spreading its
petals on paper over three inches ot cir
cumterence: the dark and rich
'Jacqueminot, of emulative size: the
Marechal Neil, dulv exransive. delicate
and almost fragrant even on paper in its
yellow tint; the In France, and the dozen
varieties of "climbers" nil theso aro dis
played to the man or woman who is inter
ested in a plot of garden: and tho result is a
eaptlvatiou at once of the fancy and of an
order for more or less dozens of the plants
bv the traveling agent.
"The plants come duly, are bedded with
care and tied up in straw; and through
the drearv winter thepurchasermanya time
and oft sees them, as in his fancy, as they
will look in the opening days or June, a
mass of beautiful flowers, setting off in strong
and delightful oontrast against the green of
the neighboring sward.
Manv such orders were given in Pittsburg
last fall and the preceding fall; and In a
number of cases the citv florists are now
enjoying tho results. The roses which
were to bloom in June, in such
gigantic proportions, have in a number
of cases from which complaints havo been
heard proved to be miserable and stunted
specimens of that beautiful flower, chiefly
attractive to bugs and affording poor
pasture even for them.. In one case in the
East End within a few days where a citizen
had paid nearly $100 for a bedof roses which
looked beautiful in the specimen book, an
examination of the June product by a city
florLst disclosed that the plants in place of
being pure spocimens of the varieties repre
sented were grafted on common dog roses,
and the whole appearanco of the collection
that was looked forward to with such de
light was pitiable in the extreme. To
heighten the disappointment the citv florist
staled that real plants of this order con
tracted for could have been had at any of
the city nurseries at much less price.
It may be that some of the Eastern firms
which solicit orders through anents here in
the fall fill them honestly, but at present
the other sort are mostly and lugubriously
told of, particularly in the East End. The
result shows that it is well to examine in all
cases what our home establishments can do
before being led away by tho flattering in
ducements and roseate prospectuses of the
'sharp and sometimes not over-particular
houses of Eastern cities.
TO BESTME AT TEE OLD STAND.
One of the Suspended Mllllgans Will Again
Preach In Ills Old Polplt.
The heresy In tho R. P. Church will not
down, and it appears to the unprejudiced
that the action of the Synod in sustaining
tho Pittsburg Presbytery will have all the
effect of the split threatened, some thinking
that the stiffest-backed of the political dis
senters may be forced in time to pool their
issues so as to have one pastor serve several
flocks, or the members who are strictly or
thodox be forced to tax themselves more
heavily unless pastors work for less money
than at present. They have one consola
tion perhaps, viz: That where they are
in a majority in a congregation they may
hold on to church property, but it seems
that in some congregatiohs the liberals aro
in a majority.
Itcv. O. B.1Xlilligan, one of the suspended,
will cross the Rubicon on Sunday by again
holding services in tho East End B. P.
Church. From the time of his suspension
by Presbytery until it was sustained by tho
synod, Mr. Miiligan contented himself with
holding gospel meetings In the church,
praying lor tho sick and burying tho dead,
but now he considers tha the chain of his
allegiance is broken, and he can resume his
place with honor, backed by the congrega
tion. It appears that -not more than
half a dozen members will oppose him, and
they may not do it-vigorously.
CBEMATOBIES MUST BEP0BT.
The New Bill Regulating Them Goes Into
Effect at Once.
The new crematory bill has been signed
by the Governor, and Chief Brown yester
day sent to Harrisburg for a certified copy.
Tho bill was gotten up to overcome an evil
previously spoken of in The Dispatch. Here
tofore crematories have not been required
to take out burial permits, and the Bureau
of Health had no record of their cases. The
utter destruction of all identifying traces of
bodies disposed of in this manner offered
great inducement to crime. Chief Brown
saw this and had the bill prepared.
"The new bill goes into effect at once,"
said the Chief yesterday. "As far as I know
the same permits will bo issued by the
Bureau of -Health in crematory cases as in
ordinary burials, but I cannot state possi
tively until I receivo a copy of the bill. It
will uo very little additional work for tho
bureau, but will assist greatly in preventing
means for concealment of crime."

ADDBESSED BY AN INDIAN.
The Local Red Man's Association Listens to
a Squaw's Speech.
Tho last meeting of the season of the In

a visit to the Good Will Mission among the
South Dakota Indians.
Mrs. Ionian, a full-blooded Indian, dressed

ONLY AFFECTS PHILADELPHIA.
Governor Pattison's Latest Veto WiU Not
Injure Pittsburg Firemen.
Governor Pi-ttison has vetoed the bill en
titled "an act for the formation, Incorpora
tion nnd regulation of firemen's relief asso
ciations." His grounds for the act is that
the bill is a departure lrom the general sys
tem of legislation and also that it had too
many restrictive clauses.
When Chief Brown was asked yesterday
what effect the veto would have inPittsburg
he said: "It will not affect us in the least.
The bill was a local one for use in Philadel
phia only and will not interfere with tho
management of our disability board."

Allegheny Councils Tie Another Knot
in the Pnrsestrings.
DEFICIENCIES MUST KOT EXIST.
The City Solicitor's Assistant Eeduced to
the Bank of a Clerk.
0XLT 0XE OFFICIAL ESCAPES ALIVE
A wave of economy such as never before
was heard of struck Allegheny Councils last
night. Councils emphatically put its foot
on nny unnecessary expenditures. Tho fear
of another deficit hung like a cloud over all
the proceedings. The general opinion was
that too many useless men wore drawing
salaries. There were only minor matters
presented in which the members might vent
their spleen, but they fully covered every
thing in sight. The first was a street
in the Butchers' Bun district, and
the date of the poor thing's birth was
set back n month. Thenext was a change in
the clerical force of the Controller's office.
The $1,500 chief clerk stood up for eight
rounds, and retired from the ring without
losing even a dollar, but the poor $900 clerk
had $200 knocked off him. He was then
wrapped in a shroud and sent to committee.
The next was an assistant city solicitor,
with apparently a Ufo tenure of office. David
Henderson lashed at him, Mr. Cruikshank
moved his arm, Mr. Knox muttered a denun
ciation, and tho poor fellow shrunk into a
miserable clerk at $75 a month for a term of
only six months. He was also buried in the
committee, and there is but slight hopes of
his recovery.
Expenses Must Come Down.
Such was the policy adopted by Councils
last night and such it will continue for a
long time, for there is plenty of that class of
fodder in sight. Tho chiefs of the depart
ments aro to furnish Councils with the list
of salaries of all their employes nnd a great
slash is promised. Mayor Wyman has also
asked Councils to fix the salaries of police
magistrates andhencethe knife for the.next
six months. The whole trouble was pre
cipitated in Common Council when the re
port of the Board of Viewers on the opening
of Chestnut street through the flooded dis
trict of Butchers' Bun at a cost of $160,000.
Messrs. Albrecht and Gerwig, of the Third
ward, were opposed! to the ordinance nnd
thought a large sower down Madison ave
nue w ould be cheaper nnd would answer
the same purpose. Mr. Kesbitt, of the Sur
vey Committee, said that tho question was a
very important one, the old sewer is no
good and a new one on another street would
help it much. There was no telling when
another flood would come, and with the
committee it was a question of lives
against the expenditure ot dollars.
This was followed by a long discussion as
to whether lives or dollars were the more
valuable. Dollars won for the present and
tho matter .was sentenced 30 days to tho
pigeon-holes for having the impudence to
appear in Councils.
Cruikshank Pulls the .Draw-String.
Over this action Mr. Cruikshank smiled a
smilo and then unburdened himself thusly:
"Mr. Wertheimer assures me that with the
present extravagance tho city will be $100,000
in debt at the end of the present year. The
city Is burdened with too many unneeessary
men and their salaries aro eating up the ap
propriations. The new departments
are spending money too freely nnd
it must be stopped. In tho past
the contingent funds have been looted, and
are being looted to-day. Pepple are talk
ing about tho reckless expenditure every
where, and it must be stopped. Councils
snouiu pass u rtsuiuuuu w aruuig iuu uenus
of departments to cut down expenses. For
my part. I am against any increase in sala
ries during this year.!'
A chorus of approval greeted this, but it
was broken by Chairman Parke, who signifi
cantly said: "There are many who think
tho same way, but the matter must bo pre
sented in proper form."
They Disfigured His Salary.
The next morsel of food was found in tho
ordinance making the office of chief clerk
In the Controller's offlco worth $1,500 a year,
and creating the office of assistant jit $900
per year.
Mr. Knox They propose to relievo ono
man of half his duties and then Increase his
salary. It looks as if tho Controller's offlco
was helping itself. There is no senso in it.
AVhv, I can fill City Hall yard with1 clerks at
$1,200 a year that aro Just as good as any we
have.
Such opinions were numerous, and it was
also discovered that tho ordinance did not
provide any plan from which to draw the
increase in the salary list. The chief clerk
was saved, but the assistant was reduced to
$720 a year, and the ordinance was sent back
to committee.
Next came thcordinance creating the office
of assistant city solicitor and fixing his
salary at $1,200 per annum. Mr. Bruce
thought that there was no need of such an
officer. The Solicitor was back in his work
and only needed a clerk to file liens. In six
months there would be no need for him. He
offered an amendment to that eflcct.
Mr. Cruikshank A lawyer that you can
Duy for $1,200 a year is a mighty common
kind of an animal. A clerk is all we need.
Mr. Knox We don't need a city solicitor
any worse than we need a" chaplain "
Needed That Worst of AIL
"Well," exclaimed Mr. Lewis, as ho laughed
all over, "if there is as much need of an As
sistant City Solicitor as there is of a chap
lain I move we elect ono immediately."
Following this came a discussion of two
hours, which resulted in Mr. Henderson's
amendment prevailing. The Assistant City
Solicitor, shorn or both glory and salary,
was fired back to committee.
In the routine matter which occupied tho
attention of Councils Mr. Dunn introduced
a resolution to go back to gas for city light
ing. Mr. Knox presented a smoke consumer
ordinance. It w as decided hereafter to hold
Council meetings on the third Thursday of
the month instead of the second. Tho con
tracts for the year wero all approved. The
ordinance increasing the salaries of the
cataloguers and typewriter at Carnegie
Library was defeated, but the ono abolishing
tho office of assistant librarian passed.
In Select Council tho Pittsburg, Allegheny
and Manchester Traction Company was
granted an extension af time until October 1
lor opening the road. Mr. Wertheimer
offered his ordinance submitting to a vote of
tho people the question of issuing $750,000
worth ot bonds, and Mr. Einstein presented
a resolution increasing the pay of tho ehiet
clerks. The two inspectors for the Depart
ment of Charities w ere granted.
STILL M0BE MONEY NEEDED.
The Fourth of July Fund Not Tet Up to the
Required Amount.
Arrangements for the Fourth of July cele
bration are progressing rapidly, but tho flow
of donations dropped off yesterday. Only
$67 came in, and tho fund is still $791 short of
the required $5,000. If all promises are kept
this deficiency will bo reduced about $300.
The committee hopes that business men and
others who have not already done so will bo
prompt in sending in donations, lor they
nave already contracted liabilities amount
ing to the lull $5,000 and may need a little
more.

Building Contractors look for the
Strike to End Next Week.
THEY' WILL HAVE A BLACK LIST..
The Eonghers and Catchers' Fight Is Now
Progressing.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS
At the meeting of the Master Builders' As
sociation last night reports were received
that a break in the ranks of the strikers is
expected on Monday next, when many of the
men are expected to return to work nt the
old wages add hours. There are several rea
sons for such a supposition. The builders
have been watching the men closely nnd the
manner in which the strike Is being con
ducted. A strike committee has been on
constant duty in the interest of the bosses.
This committee has made daily reports
to the Master Builders on the condition
of the strike, and the actions of the builders
have been governed according to these re
ports. This committee claims to havo in its
possession certain information at present
which cannot fail in breaking the strike
within the next ten days. The principal
point made by it is that the best men in tho
various unions are deserting the eight-hour
movement, and retnrng to work. Tho Presi
dent of one union has already re
turned to work, and tho Secretary of an
other has promised to go on duty next Mon
'day. Work at the Planing Mills.
Schuette & Co., of tho Southside, aro re
ported to have 00 men at work, all but ono
of whom are union men. Many of the
planing mill owners have nil the men they
can find work for, and are getting out all tho
orders they havo on hand.
It is claimed the strike benefits are caus
ing an endless amount of trouble among tho
men. The various unions are distributing
their own funds pro rata among their most
needy members. Union No. 506 is said to
have paid its members $1 65 apiece on
Monday night for one week's benefits, and
Union 230 will give their members $6 to
night, which will be all they have received
in three weeks. The contractors claim to
have official information to the effect that
no funds have been received from Philadel
phia to support the strike and that none
will be.
It is also given out now that the bosses
havo been quietly preparing a list of names
of thoso who have been prominent in help
ing the men from returning to work, and
that they will not be given their places
again, nnder any circumstances. A commit
tee was sent to the Southside yesterday to
see Vice President Powell, who is
still sick, for the purpose of getting
his views on the matter. Ho sent
word to the association to remain
firm; that he had enough men working for
the present, and that he believed the strike
would end within the next week. While all
the contractors seem to feel that the end is
near, there is an undisguised feeling that
tho strike will never be declared off. They
saythemen are too proud to acknowledge
an honest defeat, and that the leaders will
pull along as best they can until all the men
ucsert mem.
Strike leaders Also Confident.
There is on entirely different feeling on
the part of the leaders of the strike. Mr.
Swartz said yesterday that the now Union
Supply Company will be ready to fill orders
for all kinds of material next week. Head
quarters for supplies will be located along
side the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad,
corner of Wharton and South Twenty
third streets, where contractors who
havo been kept from getting ma
terial can procure what they need
within three days after the order is received.
They have mado arrangements in which
they claim they can fill orders for $10,000
worth of stuff each day.
Mr. Swartz insists that the men are still as
firm as ever and prospects for the success of
ino eigne nour movement are as urignt as
the day the strike occurred.
Tho Press committee of tho Master Build
ers' Association gave out yesterday that
twenty additional union carpenters are at
work and that most of the mills are working
to their fullest capacity.
A conference was held yesterday between
Kinzer & McCandless and Agent O'Brien, of
the Bricklayers, on the new theatre job. It
was stated that Mr. Davis had telegraphed
to tbo contractors to grant tho advance
asked for by the men, but this could not be
dono Unless they are willing to leave the
Builders' Exchange and run their chances
of getting material. The difficulty will be
partly settled to-day, one way or another.
MAKING HASTE SLOWLY.
Amalgamated Association Taking Plenty of
Time on the Scale.
The Amalgamated Association mado its
customary slow progress in the discussion of
tho scale yesterday and it is stated officially
that it will be a week yet before the scale
will be completed. Tho roughers and catch
ers' fight will come up either to-day or to
morrow. This will bo a lively matter and
will cause more discussion than any phrt of
the scale. There are a few men left in the
convention who think the roughers nnd
catchers should not ask for an advance
when the boiling scale is not molested. Tho
following is a copy of the roughers and
catchers agreement, now in force, which
will likely be reaffirmed, although the $6 en
thusiasts are in favor of several changes: j
It Is understood that rouehcrs and catchers on
ebeet and Jobbing mills shall each be paid as fol
lows, based on a 2 per cent Western Iron Associa
tion's card, with 2 per cent additional for each
one-tenth advance of said card, and 2 per cent de
cline for each deduction of one-tenth from said
card, but it shall not go below a 2-cent card.
On large slieet and jobbing mills the wages for
ronghlngand catching shall be f2 60 per turn each
of seven neats, and when eight heats are made tho
rougher and catcher shall each be paid $3 per turn.
But the price for roughing and catching on small
sheet mills shall be the regular $2 25 each per day of
seven heats.
DINNEB TO MINING STUDENTS.
Prof. Richards and Party Entertained at

A dinner was given last night at tho Du

THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY.
HE REFERS THE KEYSTONE 11ANK
MATTER TO THE CONTROLLER,
Who Will Probably Allow an Examination
by Experts The Remaining Indictments
Against Bardsley Wonnd Up Suits In
Equity Against the Ex-City Treasurer.
Philadelphia, June '11. The follow
ing is a copy of President Harrison's reply
to Mayor Stuart's letter of June 5 regarding
the afiairs of the suspended Keystone Na
tional Bank:
Sir I am in receipt of your letter of June
6, and in reply thereto beg to say: The Con
troller of the Currency Is, under the law, in
immediate, and in a large sense, independ
ent control of all matters pertaining to na
tional banks. Everything relating to the
examination of such banks, to the appoint
ment of receivers, and to the winding up of
Insolvent banks, is under his direction. An
examination of the relations of his office
to the Keystone National Bank will,
therefore, disclose all that has been
done by the Treasury Department
The Secretary df the Treasury was absent
when your letter was received, but upon his
return this morning I conferred with him
and the Controller, and as a result of that
conference the Controller stated that he
would prepare at opce a full statement of
his entire action in connection with the
Keystone National Bank, of Philadelphia,
and would submit this report without delay
to the Secretary of the Treasury; who will
transmit a copy to you.
Your request that a' committee of expert
accountants be allowed to examine and in
spect all tho books, documents and records
of the bank has been referred to tho Con
troller, with the suggestion that, under the
advice of the District Attorney, the Receiver
I permit an examination by a proper repre-
Bcuiuuvo iiiiu nn mailers unu bucuuiuo, uuu.
particularly of accountswhere frauds or ir
regularities are charged, with such reserva
tions of confidence as the Interest of the
creditors of the bank or the ends of public
Justice make necessary.
I am sure you will find every officer of the
Government, having any public duty con
nected with this matter, desirous to co
operate with the creditors of the bank in all
measures calculated to protect their inter
ests, and to hold to proper accountability
every person having guilty complicity with
the failure. Very truly yours,
Bexjamix Harrison.
In court to-day District Attorney Kinsey
said that inasmuch as the maximum pun
ishment of Bardsley for the indictments, on
which he pleaded guilty would be 50 or 60
years, it would be needless to waste further
time in the trial of the other indictments,
and they were, therefore, submitted without
further evidence. On those indictments the
jury then promptly returned a verdict of not
fuilty. City Solicitor "Warwick has filed a
ill in equity against John Bardsley and
others to restrain them from disposing of
their Germantown property. Deceiver
Yardley, of the Keystone Bant, filed a sim
ilar petition concerning certain promissory
notes.
A dispatch from Washington says: Mr.
Lacey, Controller of the Currency, has com-
Sleted his report in regard to the Keystone
ank, and will submit it to the President
this afternoon or to-morrow. A fact that
does not appear to be generally known is
that Bank Examiner Drew lias been sus
pended lrom duty pending the result of an
investigation into his administration, and
has been instructed to examine no more
banks in his district for the present.
Drank Too Mneh Wine.

Is in a shanty boat at the foot of South Thir

his death, but Dr. Manning explained it was
from drinking too much elderberry wine.

Entitled to the Best.
If any one idea is more perfectly settled
than another in the minds of the genuine
American, it is that nothing is too good for
him, or, to use a slang phrase, "the best is
good enough." In recognition of this fact
that the American people will be satisfied
with nothing but the best, the "Orrville
Hilling Company has spared neither money
nor" pains Jn building the "finest mill"
equipped with the finest machinery in the
world, "in the best wheat section in the
world," "to moke the best ' flour in the
world," and the result is "Table Belle"
flour has no equal. "Table Belle" is sold

ME. IAGEE ANSWERED
Mayor Gourley Writes ABother let
ter to Chief J. 0. Btowb
EXPLAINING THE"' BOEDEN CASE.
Touches Lightly on the Heads of Fire and
Police Bureaus.
EEPUSE TO MAKE THE PAPEE 'PUBLIC
Mayor Gonrley has written the mnch-talked-of
letter to Chief Brown, of the De
partment of Public Safety.. It has been ex
pected for several weeks. In fact, ever
since C. L. Magee's famous epistle to Chief
Brown wns read In Councils people about
City Hall have been confident the Mayor
would bo heard from sooner or later. This
belief was largely the result of the Mayor's
own language. The day after the reading of
Mr. Magee's letter he stated very positively
he ould answer it. He would not say what
method he would use, but it was pretty gen
erally understood that he would make Chief
Brown the medium through which to reach
his antagonist.
Some days ago the Mayor stated he wonld
not make his answer for some time. The
big Fourth of July celebration, In the prep
arations for which he has largely partici
pated, ocenpied his miml to such an extent
that he had decided to waltnntil the affair
was over and his patriotic enthusiasm had
cooled somewhat before jumping into a
typewritten municipal war. Since then he
has evidently changed his mind and de
cided not to wait.
Chief Brown received tho Mayor's letter
yesterday morning. Those who were ex
pecting a fiery blast of rhetoric from the
Chief Executive, the outcome of an injured
sense of honor, are considerably disap
pointed. The document is couched in mild
terms, and is simply a statement of the
Mayor's side of the case. It is largely taken
up with a statement concerning the charge
made by Mr. Magee that the Mayor had
aided in an effort to seenre immunity from
police power to a fugitive from justice. The
writer elves a review of tho case of John
Borden, telling how the aged mother came
to him numerous times imploring aid for
her son.'who she claimed was young and in
experienced. Her pleas finally resulted in
his going to the police authorities to see
what could be done.
He holds that the facts in the Borden case
are not strong enough to bear ont insinua
tions made that he has opposed Superin
tendent Evans, of the Fire Bureau, on per
sonal grounds. His views on the necessity
of a reorganization of this bureau are re
peated in about the same tone as before. He
advises the removal of Superintendent
Evans, but does not demand it, as has been
stated. The same is true of the Bureau of
Police, whose head the Mayor has spoken of
several times. He repeats his statements
concerning this official, bnt does not insist
on his wishes being carried Into effect. Sev
eral minor matters are spoken of, and tho
whole commuication is rather lengthy.
The text of the Mayo' 3 letter could not be
secured. Chief Brown, when asked about
it, replied:
"It is an official communication to me and
I cannot see my wav clear to give it to the
public If the Mayor wishes it made public
he will have to do so himself."
The Mayor, when asked for a copy of the
letter, also declined with the remark that he
would not act on tho matter for several
days at least, and perhaps not then.
Our Best.
This brand of flour has had increasing
popularity in the market for the last 25
years, and as usual with all first-class goods
unprincipled parties have undertaken to
duplicate the brand of "Our Best" to cover
an inferior quality of flour.
When yon buy "Our Best" flour be sure
the cut and name ' of the Orrville Milling
Company is on every Back, If it is not you
are simply deceived and made pay for what
you do not get.
