Mr. Jennings criticized I he report mi
the ground that the committee in rec
ommending such an important change
should have consulted him, the con
troller from the ward In which the
school Is located. The comminittee
should have done this nut of courtesy.
If for no other reason, he :-aiil. Me
would not interfere in a cliunge of sub
ordinate teachers, but it was due him
that he b" consulted eniioeriiing any
transfer nfllie school's principal. Ho
would oppose the adoption of the j,..
port unless tlio committee, could slum
cause why Professor Durkin should be
succeeded by another instructor.
Mr. Parker stated that he, personally,
approved the change because he be
lieved Mr. Crittenden better qualilied
than Mr. Durkin to till the position. No
other eominltleemi'n discussed the mat
ter. Mr. Jennings moved to amend the
report in that Professor Inirkln should
remain nt No. It, and Professor t'rit

Modem Itescarcli lias Proved Many
t heri-hed Stories I'alsc.
From the Cleveland World.
The path of recent historical research
Is strewn with the wrecks of discredited
myth: but of all these the wreck of the
once cherished story of William Tell.
Hesslci- and the apple is Hie most con
spicuous. In 17i.il a Ci-rman book was
published casting doubts on tho narra
tive, and this book was publicly burned
by the hangman of the canton I'll. It
is now proved beyond any doubt that
neither Tell ndr dossier had any exist
ence, und the story of William Tell is
now forbidden to lie Inserted in Swiss
sclioolbooks. Among other myths once
adopted as fact the Thermopylae w'.ts
defendfd. not by "00 Spartans, but by
".Dim (in-eks. Nero did mot chant the
"Uutning of Troy" during a conllagru
tion Iu Home, and lie did not murder
his null her. Constantino thedreal was
great only as a scoundrel. The priest
at Ibe guillotine did nut say to Louis
XVI.: "Sun of St. Louis, ascend to
heaven!" ami the king did not die with
dignity, for he struggled with bis exe
cutioners, and screamed for h"-lp and
mercy. The Spanish Armada was not
scattered by the winds of heaven. The
wind changed four times In Its favor
and saved It each time from destruc
tion. In fact, if the wind had not gone
right round to the south Just niter the
buttle of Uraveliiies, it is highly Improb
able that a single ship would have
escaped.

A Demand tor i'l lor Summer Cot
tages nnd Cilinps.
From the F.lect rleal World.
A novel but very sensible use is made
of old horse cars in Connecticut. When
the trolley system wus Introduced in
the various cities in that state the
problem as to what should be done with
Hie old horse curs remained unsolved
until sonic enterprising genius suggest
ed using them for summer cottages,
hunters' camps, bulges, etc. The pub
lic readily fell iu wilh the Idea, with the
result that all of (inn old cars that went
Into disuse ure now being utilized for
these novel purposes. It is stated that
all along the Long island coast, from
Watch Hill to Lurch. mint, these cars
may be seen perched up on top of
some breezy bluff nn the sandy shore,
or in some fitiiet. shnded nook, afford
ing temporary habitation for families,
fishermen, hunlei-s. etc. The demand
for old horse cars has greatly Increased
in consequence of this new use. One
woman recently asked the station
agent at New London for his lowest
prices for passenger cars; also u list
of the various stylos. A Norwich
party has urrangeii four cars In the
form of u hollow square and erected a
canvas uwniug in (he square. One of
the curs is used as the kitchen, and
the others us sleeping rooms, dining
room, parlor, etc. One gentleman has
live cars on Clock Island, which be hus
placed end to end like a train. The
supply of old cars in this one state
has thus suddenly become exhausted.

Tatrlck II. Carroll, wife and two step

narrow escape from being burned alive
In their home in Duiimure borough. Just
across the city line front Larch street,
ut 3 o'clock yestetday morning.
Carroll wus awakened by a feeling of
suffocation and on Jumping up discov
ered the house tilled with tlaine and
smoke. He uruused his) wife and boys
and made for a window. By using a
sheet the boys were let down to the
ground and then Carroll followed, in
tending to secure a luilder to rescue his
wife. In getting out, however, he fell
und struck his head, rendering htm un
conscious. Neighbors who hail by this time
reached the scene rescued Mrs. Carroll.
She wus almost suffocated und hud to
receive medicul attendance. She was
rescued not a moment too soon to save
her life for she was scarcely to the
ground when the room she had left was
enveloped In Humes.

furniture, but believes it has run out.
This is the second time thut the Scran
