SUPERVISION OF
THE HIGH SCHOOL
Board ol Control Recos.lderi Its For
mer Action.
PROF. HOWELL WILL SUPERINTEND
After Last Klaht's Heeling Decided
to Reconsider, the Troublesome
Resolution Was Declared Illegal bv
President MitchellNight Schools
Established and Teachers Ap
PolntedLurgc Payments on Con
tractsAnother Teacher Asked
for High School.
Every member of the board of con
trol was in his seat at last night's
meeting and there was present a large
number of onlookers, the extensive
turnout being caused by the prospect
of a continued chapter In the effort
of some of the members to relieve Sup
erintendent of Schools Howell from the
supervision of the High school and
relegate the duty to Principal Phillips.
However, the board's recent resolution
on the matter was reconsidered and
then declared an illegal action with
such rapidity and perfection of pre
arrangement that the thing ended be
fore the majority of the members and
nearly all the spectators knew what had
happened.
The board's, or rather. President
Mitchell's and Mr. Wormser's parlia
mentary coup throws the supervision
of the high school back to Its former
state. As soon as the minutes of the
previous meeting and the October pay
roll were approved the railroading of
the High school controversy took place.
"I move we reconsider the action of
the last meeting In passing the reso
lution on the supervision of the High
and Training school," said Mr. Worm
ser. The motion was quickly put and
rarrled by an aye and nay vote, there
being no negative responses.
"I move that the resolution be in
deiinltely laid on the table," continued
Mr. Wormser.
"The motion Is out of order." Bald
President Mitchell, "for the reason that
the resolution was Illegal, consequently
the resolution is inoperative and there
is no necessity for putting the motion."
"Next order business reports of
committees; teachers committee,"
sung out the president and the meeting
swung into new business before a
chance had been offered for debate or
comment.
LAW ON THE SUBJECT.
The three pr.sMiRet; cf lawwhlch have
a direct beating on the supervision
question are as follows:
Section LXXXVI, "Pennsylvania School
Laws and Decisions," defining supervis
ion over high schools.
Clause 3 They (the hoard) shall exer
cise a general supervision over said public
.nhnnl u. ....In. ..II ...... I I.-., fit
II x the amount of their salaries, and shall
have power to dismiss any teacher at
any time for for cause; they
shall have power to make all
proper rules and regulations for the gov
ernment and discipline of sold school.
Clause 4 Said board shall visit said public
hiuh school, by ut least one of their num
ber, ut leust once in each week.
Section CCXLII, Pennsylvania School
Laws and Decisions defining some of the
duties of the county superintendent,
It shall be the duty of the county (or
city) superintendent to visit ns often as
practicable the several school of his coun
ty and to note the course and method of
Instruction, and branches taught, and to
give such directions In the urt of teach
ing and the method thereof In each school,
as to him (together with the directors
and controllers) phnll be deemed expedient
and necessary; so that each school shall
he equal to the grade for which It was es
tablished, and that there may be as far
as practicable, uniformity In the course
of studies in schools of the several grades
respectively.
The city superintendent shall have su
pervision of all high schools established
In cities or boroughs under this act.
A motion that the salary of Miss Hag
gerty, a High school teacher, be In
creased to $1,000 per annum was referred
to the High school committee, as was.
on Mr. Wormser's motion, the question
of an additional teacher for the High
school.

CONSTABLE JONES' ARM. '
It Is Carried in a Sling as the Remit
of a Beating.
Constable Timothy Jones was so se
verely used up In the fight at the corner
of Luzerne and Twenty-second streets
Sunday morning that his right arm
had to he carried In a sling yesterday.
Steve Iavitch. Steve Bodlka, Joe Caw
ley, Andrew Cawley, and Andrew
Lima, who were arrested for being con
cerned in the fight were fined $5 each
yesterday morning In police court by
Mayor Bailey. They paid It and were
let go.
Constable Jones happened to be
going by the house of Andrew Lima
just at the time that Andrew was kick
ing his wife out. There was a crowd
nf men In the house and they hart been
there all Saturday night dipping Into
three kegs of beer. The constable very
chivalrously went to the woman's resJ
cue and he was rewarded by being set
upon by the whole house full. His
brother was with him and so was
Bpeclal'Offlcer Hank Hart, but they
were not able to cope with their as
sailants. Mrs. Lima, ungratefully, was the
fiercest of the constable's assailants.
She had a big club and wielded it
with all the vigor at her comand at
his head. He put his arm up to save
himself and got it battered black and
blue and bloody. It was swelled up yes
terday twice its normal slie. She was
held by Alderman Kenney of the
Twenty-first ward for her appearance
at court.

An audience distinguished in quality
and generous in dimensions lust even
ing at the Frothlngham theater greet
ed Mr. and Mrs. Thlele, Miss Timber
man and Mr. Pennington in a concert
formally Introducing them to the
Huranton public. If frequent applause
and appreciative comment may be ac
cepted in evidence, the Introduction
was mutually successful and satisfac
tory. Mr. Thlele, who appeared first, ex
hibited daintiness and finish in the
three movements of Beethoven's third
sonata, being perhaps at his happiest
In the exquisite mlnuetto. Later he
rave on the O string, from Bach, a
demonstration of his expressiveness,
followed by Paraeate's gypsy dances,
done with precision rather than aban
don; and In the fantastic from William
Tell exhibited the range of his com
mand over the violin. His playing may,
he well characterized in a word us
graceful rather than Inmotuous.
Mis? Tlml.eiman in l.er Brat aria re- I
vcaled a voice well suited to oratorio
rich, strong and round, and yet under
excellent control. Perhaps the selec
tion which revealed Its depth and
breadth to best advantage was Masse s
"Song of the Tiger." Her contralto Is
robust but full of expression and she
speedily established herself as a decid
ed favorite.
Mr. Pennington ns an organist had
long been admired; last evening by
graceful accompanying and pictur
esque solo work he showed also uncom
mon proficiency on the piano. His In
terpretation of Schumann's novelette
In F was virile and effective; scarcely
less so was his playing of a rlgaudon
by Raff which exhibited to advantage
his command of the keyboard. The
piano evidently yields to Mr. Penning
ton quite as readily as the organ.
Mrs. Thiele chose for her Introduc
tory number "Bemberg's "Nymphes et
Sylvains," and revealed by means of it
a sweet, clear soprano of excellent
quality and under thorough control.
She was cordially received and at the
conclusion of each number had to ac
knowledge the plaudits.
Altogether, the concert was not only
most enjoyable considered by Itself . but
It was doubly so as an introduction to
this community of artists who will
doubtless contribute not a little to its
future pleasure and instruction.
BODIES STILL IN THE RIVER.
The Banks Were Patrolled Yesterday
but Without Success.
Search was kept up all of yesterday
for the bodies of Mrs. Mary McCarthy
and her two grandchildren, who were
drowned Friday In the Lackawanna
river at Mooslc, but without avail.
There was no trace of the bodies, nor
any part of their clothing. The skirt
of the old woman and the cloak of one
of the girls having been found about
a mile below the brtdge.lt was thought
that, perhaps, some of the bodies might
be near there; but a careful search fail
ed to discover any of them.
The river has not receded to any ex
tent yet, and that mnkesthe search so
much harder. A large party of men
have volunteered to patrol the river
banks for several days yet In hopes of
finding the bodies.
Mrs. Kllnk, mother of the children,
was resting very comfortably yester
day. She Is viewing the situation re
signedly and is expectantly looking for
ward to the recovery of the bodies.
DRAWINO TO A CLOSE.
The Wonderful Automatic Exposition
on Lackawanna Avenue.
The marvelous "Swiss Village" exhi
bition which has gladdened so many
hearts and enriched many inquiring
minds, will remain at 400 Lackawanna
avenue only this week, positively. To
those who have been unable to visit

count of the inclement weather, or other
causes, this will be welcome news. Ar

study of vast proportions. Its amuse
ment features are exceedingly attrac
tive. All In all it presents the finest and
most ingenious array of scientific auto
matic works ever exhibited for one
dime. The only chance our people will

wonders Is now offered. Positively the
last week.
ANOTHER WARRANT FOR HIM.
Edward ilnzen Will Hare to Answer
for Stealing 925 More.
C. P. Fiske, of Wallsvllle, came to
town yesterday and swore out a war
rant before Alderman Wright for the
arrest of Edward Hazen who is now in
the county Jail charged with larceny.
Hazen worked for Liveryman Itiley
fcdwards and ran off with the month's
board of a horse which was paid to
him. He came back to town not long
ago and was arrested.
After leaving Scranton he went to
Wallsvllle and while the Wyoming
county fair was In progress he worked
for Mr. Fiske, When the fair was over
Mr. Flske told him he had no more
work to do and Hazen secured permis
sion to work fur his board until he
could secure work somewhere else.
Mr. Flfke got up one morning and
found Hazen and $25 gone. In case he
should get ball on the charge Edwards
has against him the Liske warrant will
be served.

BLOOD, IT TALKS,
SAYS PROF. COLES
The Electric Eye Inventor Addresses
Methodist Ministers.
THE RED FLUID IS INTELLECTUAL
According to Its Uoodnets or Bad
nets It Influences Mankind for
Right or Wronglie Has Biblical
and Scientific AuthorityAnimal
culn in Humnn Blood and the
Spirit Are on Speaking Terms.
At a meeting of the Methodist Minis
terial association in Elm Park church
yesterday morning, officers were elected
for one year and an address was deliv
ered by Professor C. Coles, of Kings
ton, the Inventor of the mysterious
"electric eye," weather prophet and
scientist.
The officers elected were: President,
Rev. J. L. Race, of Cedar Avenue
church; vice-president. Rev. J. B.
Sweet, of Simpson church; recording
secretary, Rev. F. Young, of Clark's
Summit; financial secretary. Rev. A. F.
Chaffee, of Asbury church; theme com
mittee. Revs. F. A. Dony, F. P. Doty
and F. Young. The theme committee
announced for the next meeetlng an ad
dress by H. B. Johnson, a returned mis
sionary from Japan.
The address of Professor Coles was
the same as was recently delivered be
fore a gathering of Methodist ministers
In Wllkes-Barre. At Its conclusion
yesterday he was voted the thanks of
the association. The subject matter
was in relation to blood, spiritual and
material, the speaker arguing that It
was tilled nut only with life, but with
intellect and through It alone could the
bodily Ills of mankind be prevented or
lessened.
Professor Coles Introduced his subject
with biblical quotations of philosophers
and scientists In proof that "blood is
the life of all llesh." Adam's blood was
poisoned by apostasy 4.004 B. C. and the
ttunje of it went down through the ages
Into the character of all of Adam's de
scendants. If one fountain of bad blood
did so much harm, the sum of good
destroyed by countless millions of sin
fountains Is Incomputable. The blood
absorbs the teaclilrtrs of the mind, h-?
observed, rather than I th brain nour
ished directly by the blood.
WOULD EDUCATE THE BLOOD.
In tho case of ah Indian boy educated
In a seminary, the spirit inculcated in
him would in turn educate the blood
anlmalcula so that they would trans
form the boy's whole human structure
and make a beautiful face, gleaming
with intelligence, where once was an
ill-shaped, ill-kept and homely frontis
piece. For the Lord has declared that
"A man's wisdom makcth his face to
shine, and the boldness of his face
shall be changed," Eccleslastes, vil-1.
Each tribe of blood anlmalcula builds
as it has been taught. "No person over
eighteen years of age should think of
emigrating to foreign lands If as they
stand but one chance In a thousand of
living through the flesh and bone trans
planting process," said Professor Coles.
He cited the change In the frames of
Hungarians who, after a few years In
this country, become spare and bony.
"All things tench us we must be In
sympathy with all nationalities, for
within each human temple there is In
struction for the inquiring, fuod for tne
hungry, supplies for the destitute,
strength for the weak, etc., etc." In
the Intermarriage of races there Is a
probability of abnormal offspring a
deterioration. The mixing of blood in
tellect, not blood In a material sense,
does this.
In Genesis fourth chapter, ninth
verse. Is found, "And the Lord said
unto Cain, Where Is Abel thy brother?
And Cain said, I know not. Am I my
brother's keeper? And lh Lord said.
What hast thou done? the voice of thy
brother's blood crieth unto me from
the ground. And now art thou cursed
from the earth, which has opened up
her mouth to receive thy brother's
blood from thy hand." Cain could not
tell the Lord what he had done, but
the blood the living, thinking, speak
ing anlmalcula that had been spilled
from Abel's body told him what had
happened; Now we understand how
the spirit and the living anlmalcula in
our bodies are on speaking terms and
how that blood talks!
BUILDING A MAN'S BODY.
"It takes countless millions of living
anlmalcula, of all trades and profes
sions, twenty years to build a man's
body. And If God should devulge the
perfect construction of the human
body to man. It would take the com
bined effort of all the men, women and
children now living on the face of
earth, over one thousand and seven
hundred years to accomplish the same
work.
"A peep Into the Electric Eye shows
us that the surface of our bodies Is
covered with scales, like those of a fish;
they are like great, overlapping defens
esarmor plating more effectually
than any warship. A small grass seed
will cover a thousand or more of these
scales and under these powerful pro
tectors are pierced myriads of little
pores which serve as canals.
"Nobody has any conception of the
number of them nnd nobody depending
upon the rough, haphazard disclosures
of the ordinary miscroscope can get
any clew to an adequate Idea of the
number of canals and passageways
thot exist In the human body; neither
does labyrinthlan begin to describe the
Intricacies of the network formed by
them. But if It were possible, there
Isn't one of us who, though we were
snared ten thousand years of octlve ex
istence, could complete a journey of
the npgrciEated distance traveled by
these various channels, even though
he travel till his life In a trolley car go
ing at the rate nf sixty miles an hour.
Yet. through these pores the sweat
exudes like water thrown a sieve.
EACH CONTAINS A WORLD.
"How minute, then, must he Its par
tlrles! and yet each drop of this stag
nant water contains a world of ani
mated beings, swimming with as much
liberty as whales In the sea. Under
the epidermis are millions of Indefatig
able Insects, like the earth worm digs
Into the noil In one's garden.
"These parasites crawl over our sur
faces, burrow beneath our skin, and
riot and prorogate their kind In every
corner of our frame, producing such
disturbances as to require the use of
medicine given is a blind experiment
Yes, and it will continue to he a blind
experiment until we learn Just what
to fesd the living anlmalcula and how,
and when, and where."
