BEFORE BREAKFAST. )
It has been decided by authority
qualified to judge tho nose question
that a cow with a black nose Is not up
to the mark. Black noses on Guern
seys havegone out of fashion in Eng
land, so you people who have been
caressing the velvety smudgy nose of
your pet cow are away off in taste.
The authority does not state what the
approved color should be. Presumably
it may be red, white or blue, or any
other shade but black.
No little Indignation was created
about the olty yesterday from a re
port that several BChool controllers ob
jected to the use of the high school
auditorium for the university lecture.
It was stated that certain controllers
did not approve of the expense for
lights and the wear and tear on the
furniture of tho building. From tho
arguments advanced against the con
trollers It would appear that those of
ficials aro courting much disfavor.
Hundreds of young men and women
are being benefitted by tho lectures
and tho question is raised that If tho
auditorium of the high school wasn't
built for educational purposes, it
might 1)0 nailed up. Pour lectures aie
contained In this season's course, while
six have been nrranged for next year,
Tho lectures are by members of the
faculty of universities and colleges and
are given free of charge. Dr. Munro,
of the '"University of Pennsylvania, Is
scheduled to lecture tomorrow evening
on "Tho Crusades and Their Kffect On
History." Hln discourse will be lllus
trated by stereoptlcon views. Should
any school officials prevent the lecturo
en account of tho cost of light, several
hundred persons would be deprived of
some valuable education given free of
cost.
It is hoped that the management of
the Albright Memorial library will
close the building during tho hours

for did ho nut wage battlo with the
Druids and overcome In spite of their
manic and their power? Throughout
Ireland th'clr niyetcilous ceremonies
beneath the oaks were enthralling the
people In their heathenish tolls. St.
Patrick cursed the fertile fields of tho
Druid priests nnd they became dreary
bofrlnnda. He outsell the rivers tind
no fish could wlm or live In their wat

welcoming earth opened and swallowed
them Into Us depths. Over tho fair
land St. Patrick went bearing aloft tho
tli.y green leaf of shamrock with which
1-e symbolized the mystery of tho
Trinity and that is why today every
true Irishman on the old sod weais
a leaf of shamrock In his hat. That he
banished the reptiles is generally be
lieved, and that somehow the blessing
shed by his footsteps transformed tho
earth so that no serpents or toads may
live on Irish soli, Is firmly held by
many.

"HUB" LICENSE IN DANGER
G. Theodoro Morris Is Summoned
Before tho Court.
The "Hub" at the corner of Spruce
street and Raymond court, which Is
considered one of tho "toughest" of the
four or five real tough places in the
central city, is in clanger of losing- its

yesterday of the character of the place,
and the complaints were of euch a na
ture that count resolved to stay the

ter could bo formally sifted.

tho sights of the town, and Is one of
the first places a posted guide will
take a slumming party.

A LEGAL ADVISER
HAS BEEN ENGAGED
Board of Six Will Press lis Claims
Through Atlorniy D. J. Davis.
TAYLOR nORMJQII ALSO IN LINE
Six ol Its Citizen Had Tliomsolvos
Klcclod ns Hclinol Directors nt tho
Lust JUIccllou and Aro Moving to
Hnvo Hie Present llonrd Ousted,
Scrnnton's Hoard of Six It Not
Worrrlur Oror tho Threatened
Counter-Suit.
The board of six has engaged Attor
ney David J. Davis as its counselor
and early next week will meet with
him to discuss the question of moving
at once for execution on the Judgment
of ouster. The directors' future course
will depend on the attorney's Judg
ment, as to whether or not they should
proceed Immediately to claim their
scats or defer action until tho first
Monday In June, nt which time some
arc Inclined to think tho terms for
which they were elected begin, under
the law by which they claim existence.
As to tho scare that tho controllers
will attack the legality of the election
of nil the directors, excepting Captain
Follows, because their names appeared
twice on the same ballot, the board of
six men say that In the first place
they can not be held responsible for
the acts of the county commissioners,
not having any say In the manner of
printing tho ballots, and again that if
all the ballote on which their names
appeared twice were thrown out, they
would still be elected, every one of
them by handsome majorities. For
Instance, Mr. Neuls, who received the
smallest vote on the Republican side,
had a majority over his highest oppon
ent of 748. In the Eleventh ward,
where Mr. Neuls was also a candidate
for controller, he received 428 votes.
He could afford to have every ballot
of that ward thrown out, and yet have
a handsome nnd safe majority.
LEGALITY OF TAYLOR BOARD.
Tho Intimation In yesterday's Tri
bune that the school district of bor
oughs and townships throughout the
county which are working under the
act that was declared Illegal Monday,
was verified yesterday by a movement
In Taylor borough to oust Its present
board of two men from a ward and
substitute a board of six elected at
large.
At the last election six far-sighted
citizens of the borough, P. W. Hanley,
J. P. Law, Ulrlcli Harger, Daniel Glll-
varry, John Neeley and George M. Tim
lin filed nomination papers as candi
dates for school directors and received
a couple of dozen votes apiece. Now
they are moving to take control of the
school district, and have engaged At
torney John M. Harris to prosecute
their claims. Papers are now In prep
aration for a writ of quo warranto.
In school districts where no emer
gency board-of-slx has been chosen,
court will be called upon to appoint one
temporarily should tho existing board
be ousted. Dunmore, which elects six
directors and classes them at large, is
possibly the only district In the county
that can not be successfully attacked.

JAILRD FOR A STORE BILL.
Such Is the Allegation ot One Wntek
Weslmlfilii.
Through his attorney, II. D. Carey,
Watek Wnshnlfskl, of Mayfleld, yes
terday made application for a writ of

raigned before 'Squire John McCaf
ferty, who committed him to the coun

Spruce street, wns smashed Tuesday
afternoon. L. P. Wedeman for some
time has had his law office over the

Morning.
A two-edged verdict was rendered
last night by the coroner's Jury cm
panelled to Investigate the death of
the negro, George Matthews, whoso
body was found Sunday morning In the
Diamond reservoir. Tho verdict was
that the drowning of Matthews -vas
by suicide or accident and that the
reservoir Is unsafe.
Matthews committed a murderous
ussault on his white mistress over two
months ago and disappeared. Tho con
dition of the body found in tho reser
voir Indicated that it had been there
from about the time the nssault was
committed. The remains were identi
fied by the police and a pawn ticket
found in the clothes.
At last night's adjourned Inquest
held in the arbitration room at tho
court house, testimony was given by
Moran and Kelly, .tho engineer and
watchman who helped pull the body out
of the reservoir. Earlier evidence had
been heard by tho jury on the night

mentioned and which included the fol
lowing: "Wo further llnd that the reservoir
in question Is dangerous and not. pro
tected by a fence: that numerous
children pass that way to nnd from

Great musicians uso Klmballa. Th
testimony ot musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must bo accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape tha
charge of not knowing what they ara
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"Tho more I use my Kimball piano tha
better I like it." Jean Do Iteszke says:
"Wo have concluded to purchnso Kim
ball pianos for our porsonal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano is first-class in every respect."
Some of the most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have come ilno large pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350, on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.
