THE NEW APPOINTEES.
Messrs. W'asjrner and McCloskey and
the Misses Chans and Ifaggerty are new
appointments on the new high school
staff, the others having been appointed
at previous meetings.
Prof. Wngrnr was assistant princi
pal at the old high school, and prev
ious to that tvs3 n Instructor in the
Colliery Engineer School of Mines and
the public schools. He Is a jrraduate
of the hlith school and Bueknell uni
versity. Prof. McClcskey Is at present
an Instructor In Williams' Business Col
lege and has had twelve years exper
ience In teaching. Miss Chase Is one
of the best known of our public school
teachers, havlnfr been an assistant at
the high school for many years. Miss
llaggerty is principal of the shorthand
department at Wllllums' Business col
lege ond has tnught in the other de
partments of that college.
The apiolntnient of Prof. McCloskey
was somewhat of a surprise. There
were three candidates for the position,
J. E. Williams, ex-prlncipal of the Dun
more public schools; Frank LlKell, of
the National Observatory at Washing
ton and Prof. McCloskey. The high
and training school committee, It
seems, split on Lltlell and Williams and
the result was that some of thm would
not agree to the report. Messrs. Davis
and Carson however, resolved to pre
sent the reiiort and accordingly did,
miming their choice Mr. Williams.
Sir. SchrlefTer moved to approve the
report with the exception of the ap
pointing of Williams. This was agreed
to. Then he moved to substitute Llt
tell for Williams, saying- that Littell
was a Scranto.n man and that Williams
had not been recommended by Superin
tendent Howell. A wrangle between
Sir. Carson and Mr. Schrlefer over the
question as to whether or not Williams
had been recommended by the superin
tendent resulted in Superintendent
Howell being: called before the board.
When acquainted with the difficulty the
sujwiintendent said that he had recom
mended Williams, as well as the other
candidates, but some charges had been
Intimated against him and another
meeting of the committee was to have
been held yesterday afternoon to dis
cuss these charges. The meeting; was
held but the charges against Williams
had not been dismissed as far as he
knew. ,
The superintendent did not seem to
take kindly to the position he had been
placed in and with some wrath told the
board that he did not propose to do the
work of the Illtfh and Training school
committee, but that if the board wanted
him to appoint a man he would do It
and do It mighty quick. Then he retir
ed. Sir. Jennings proposed that the su
perintendent be called In and asked to
name which iiinn he thought was the
best qualilli d for the position. In nn
Informal way It was agreed by a num
ber of the members, especially the ad
herents of Sir. Williams, that whoever
was the choice of the superintendent
would be appointed. Then Superinten
dent Howell was railed In and to the
surprise of everybody he recommended
McCloskey In account of his long ex
perience nnd the fact that he would
not on'y be a competent assistant In
tnathenintlrH but could be utilized in
the business department.
M'CLOHKEV APPOINTED.
A motion to appoint SlcCloskey was
carried by a vote of II ayes, 9 nays, as
follows:
Ayes Francois, O'Malley, Davis, Car
son, Devancy, Conrad. Jennings, Will.
Inins, Iiiigan. Notz. Gibbons 11.
Nays .Mitchell. Wormser. Welsh.
Pcliaeffer, Walsh. Jaeobs, Schrlefer, Bar
ker, I.nnijstalT.9.
Prof. SlcCloskey was duly declared
the. appointee. The teachers' commit
tee report also met with opposition. Sir
Francois wanted the appointment of
SIlss Williams at No. 24, in his ward,
stricken out of the report, because he
had not been consulted about the an
polntment. The board would not agree
to this and the entire report was ap
proved. Sir. Francois and Sir. O'Stal-
ley voted ajrainst the report and Sir.
Jennings declined to vote at all.
Some of the changes which the report
shows are ns follows: W. R. Graves Is
transferred from No. 33 to succeed
Michael II. Jordan at No. 9. the latter
going to Dunniore as principal of the
public schools of that place. Lizzie E.
Slackey poos from No. 1 to No. 33. to
succeed Prof. Oraves. Jot'le D. Lees
goes from No. 3 to the prlnclimlshlp of
new No. 19 building. Jennie tfv'chrum,
a new teacher, succeeds SIlss Lees at
No. 3. Esther Sloses, who has been sub
stitutlng at No. 14, has her appointment
made permanent. Hattle Fellows re
celves a permanent appointment at No,
19. Frances O'Connor Is transferred
from No. 1 to No. 27 to succeed Nellie

at No. 35, has her position made perm a
nent. Slabel Watrous, a new teacher.
succeeds to the position at No. 5 made
vacant by the transfer .of Jennie Bon
ear to No. 27.

EVERYBODY PLEASED. The pub
lie is pleased with the goods and
prices. We are pleased with their
appreciation of our 'efforts. Alto
gether it is a grand success. So busy we
are obliged to postpone the picture sale
until the middle of this week. The money
savers are the money getters. Rapidly
emptying shelves and fast filling cash
drawer tell their own tale and offer the
best proof of the values given.
An Import order placed
way last winter. The goods
promised for this spring's
trade. They did not arrive
until this month. Too late
for us to use them we wrote
the importers. Take them at
your own price was the reply.
We did. They are 9 inch
dinner plates, real china, the
thinnest kind. Edges scal
loped and of gilt, dainty floral
decorations in delicate colors.
Every plate perfect, no sec
onds. These ought to bring
25c. How many can you use
at
10c. each.
There's a few more of
those tea sets left. You know
which I mean; the $5.00 kind
that we are selling at
$2.90.
56 Pieces.
Lemonade Sets.
You remember how asham
ed you were of that homely
old pitcher and the two or
three kinds of glasses you
handed around the last time
j'ou had company. Don't let
that occur again. Here's the
remedy. A beautiful pitcher,
6 nice tumblers, all hand
somely decorated in gilt and
colors, and a silverine tray; a

DOX'T make Ibe mistake of goin to the old stand. Remember
we are in our new quarters. Note the address. There U only
one "Rexford's," only one place that could or would sell goods
at such prices. We know 110 dull times. Get business is our motto.
Get it at a profit if we can, but get business. Scranton people are
not slow to appreciate enterprise as our daily crowds can testify.
Every friend our patron, every patron our friend. Are you one of
them! If not, come in and get acquaiuted with the store, stock and
prices. .
