In a close watch on one another's do

to speak out in meeting if any Infrac
tions of duty are discovered.
The- old power und the new regime
itt Itito u little wranttle over the bids
lor heating No. HI school, and liefore
the thing was over with k-onie pointed
remarks were niaile. So warm did the
wrailKle lieconie that It looked at one
time as If there' would lie some very
Interesting- ilisi-iosiires.
These healing Idds were opened about
two months uk and referred to the
building committee, but no action was
taken on them until alter rent gunlza
tioti, when Air. Notz. In whose ward
the new building is hunted, succeeded
lit having the new building committee
given instructions to report on tin in,
providing that there was no legal ob
stacle. An opinion wus asked from the
board'H solicitor, II. A. Kuapp, ami he
advised them that the bids remained In
force, notwithstanding that the com
mittee ill .whose hands they were wus
out if existence. The new committee
therefore considered the ldds last
Thursday nigh, and decided to reject
ull the bids and to recommend that the
committee be empowered , to advertise
for new bids. They gave as their rea
son for this iictlon that they could
not arrive ut nil Intelligent award be
cause the bids were for different sys
tems. WANTKI A l'AimCU.AK HYSTKM.
They proposed to have some particu
lar system specified In the advertise
ment and to compel all bidders to base
their iironosals on this system. A mil
lion to adopt the committee's recom
mendation was made. Mr. Welsh asked
for the solicitor's opinion on the legal
ity of considering the old bids und it
having been read he moved to amend
that in consideration of the fact Unit
the Sniead-Wills bid was from $:M
to $l.::iil lower than any of the others
that they be awarded the contract. .Mr.
Not, moved ns an amendment to the
nineiidiuent that the contract be it ward
ed to Hunt X- Council. Mr. W'orniser
advised that the recommendations of
the committee should prevail. It was
a mistake, he suid, that the board did
not specify what kind of u system was
wanted.
Air. -Welsh rejoined that It was u
pretty lute day to raise a question of
that kind. There, are eight or nine
schools In this city titled up with the
Smend-Wllls system and they are giv
ing perfect satisfaction, he added.
.Mr. Liingan suggested that as n mat
ter of economy that the bid of l. R
& Al. T. Ilowley ought to be considered
above any of them and advised that
the matter should be referred buck to
the committee. Air. Jennings asked for
the reading of the bids. Secretary I'VI
lowft announced them as follows:
Sinead-Wills, hot air. $::.."i.Mi; Ihulley
Kngineerlng cninpnrty. steam, t.".16:
I. !'. & Al. T. Ilowley, steam. :UW4:
Hunt & Council, steam, $t;.lH2 and 4,r4S.
Air. Sclirlefer then culled for the
reading of the advertisement, saying
that he understood that the old build
ing committee had been In the habit of
awarding contracts to the Sinend
Wllls company without advertising for
bids. When the advertisement had
been rend Air. Welsh, with an amiable
smile, arose and said 'that the com
mittee had been nsked within the last
sixty days to award a contract with
out udvertislng for bids, but hud refus
ed to lend itself to such a practice.
"And," he added, "we will lifetime per
sonal. Alt'. Sidtriefer, If we are forced
to it."
JKNNI.VtiS WANTKh TO-KNOW.
.Mr. Jennings called attention to the
fact thai according to the question be
fore the house the members would be
culled upon to chose between a high
bid lor hot air and a high bid for
steam, lie fvns not prepared, he said,
to Vide on tin- motion ns it stood. First,
he would like to understand why the
Ilowley bid. which Is the lowest steam
beat bid by over $'ai, should lie disre
garded "Your !uitilry Is the very best of
reasons," said Air. Wormscr. "We
don't know what the difference is be
tween these bids because they are on
different systems. Let us lay both
amendments on the table and pass the
motion to reject ull the bids.' This
was done, not u single vote being
recorded against it.
The next item In the building com
mittee's report also .raised an odor.
It wus that new teachers' desks be pur.
chased for Nt,s. :j and lit schools. Jt
developed thut the old building com
mittee had purchased those desks
without wurrunt from the board. Mr.
Welsh, u liii was chairman of this com
mittee, explained thut it was custom
ary for tlie committees to purchase
such articles without consulting the
liotird and that the committee was
merely following the established pre
cedent when It purchased the desks.
Chairman .Mitchell uave the in
building committee to understand that
If any such thing happens during his
administration that some one would
be hauled over the coals.
The supply committee nlsn hail n rod
in pickle for Mr. Welsh and his col
leagues on the old committee. Thev
discovered that the old committee hall
purchased shades lor No. l!i school and
had not made any report of i to the
bourd, so they brought in a recommen
dation that the supply committee be
tinthorized to purchase the aforesaid
shades.
11AHTO AUAIITAIiAlN.
Air Welsh had to again admit having
actid without authority from the
board. "We may have been led Into
error" explained Air. Welsh. In his
most sarcastic tones, "by Ihe custom of
the High school committee, which I
understand has given out contracts for
wunotit consulting the board."
"Yes." said Air. Wormser. "but we ul
wuys reported such matters to the
board afterwards."
"We would have reported loo." snld
Air. Welsh, "but we were dissolved be
fore we had ait opportunity."
Another wrangle occurred over an
old bill of 112.07 of Howley Itros. for
extra work on the contract for pac
ing speaking tulies in No. 2fi. school.
The old regime knocked the bill out
because of some misunderstanding be
tween Superintendent of Itepalrs Har
vey and the contractors. The new
eommlttee took un the bill and rec
ommended its payment. After much
discussion the bill was referred back
to the committee.
Just for the fun of the, thing Air.
Jennings objected to the. payment of
the bill of $;,o of .the Scranton Weather
Strip company und Insisted on It being
read. It contained, ut the bottom an
assignment to Controller Jacobs, w hleh
when rend made Mr. Jacobs quite
wrathy. He wanted to explain but Mr.
Jennings snld he didn't care for an
explanation, ns he Intended to explain
it-himself nt some future time.
' Among the. recommendations of the
teachers' committee -were the follow
lug: That Miss Orace Hlckn be appoint
ed to till the vacancy at No. 26, caused
by the resignation of Miss Jennie
Kvuns: That Teresa (ilhhons be u
IMiinted permanently at No. II, and
that the leave of ahrence grunted Miss
J.ixr.le Joyce lie extend! to the end
vf the term.
Mr. o'Mulley put in a fight for' a
new building in the Third ward and
succeeded in having the secretary in
atructed to advertise for bids.

possess real power, with characters
painted by u skillful bund and situa

climaxes. Probably the most striking
scene is the realistic representation of

It Is unnecessary to speak of the
playing of Sousa's peerless band, and of
Its admirable conductor, John Philip
Sousa, whose fume us a composer of
marches Is as great as that of Strauss
as u composer of waltzes. He pluys
line music with breadth and siwer and
he gives to popular nlrs a charm
which they fall to achieve in any other
rendering. This makes the encores,
with which the leuder Is exceedingly
generous, the most popular feature of
the Sousa concert. ".Molly and I and

It is "The Mack Flag." und' the com

' Chester DeVonde, a young man with
a handsome stuge presence and a i lev-
