Fouttccn teams nnd flfty extra men were yesterday put at work cleaning the principal stictts of the cential liUBlncE! dlstilct, the West Side und the South Bide. Althoui,'h all the Ftreet clennliiK np lu'oprlation was exhausted several months njo, money available by trans fer from another source was left un touched by Street Commissioner O'HojIe for nn emergency such as has presented Itself. Theie is still a little moiii'j left for one or two more Just such c'leunlngs. The several days of mild weather and Thursday night'?! rnln loosened the lee nnd snow which had gathered in the Butters nnd on the sin face of the street and th" woilc of removing tho refute was not difficult. Although .Air. O'Eoylo had Intended have his cltnnliig bee at the fit Bt favorable opportunity, board of health officials on V'ednesday urged that the clcanlnpr be hurried. It was stated that the muck, dirt and totted Ice vlth lt? nccumulatlon of icfiise vvns brecdlns disease germs nnd for common pnfety should be removed. Tho appropiiatlon was not sufll'lent to extend the work outsldo the three business districts mentioned. Most o' the dirt that lies on the pavements of residence streets is destined to lemaln there until wash ed awny by charitable spring rains. AT THE ORAL SCHOOL. Christmas Exercises Conducted There Last Night for the Children. Some of tho Features of tho Event. There may have been noisier young sters dancing about a Chtlstnuus tieo and llieio may have been those who tould more swiftly express their de light, but fcutely never weio there hap pier ones thnn tho children at the Penn- fcllvaula Oral School for the Deaf last evening at their great holiday feto. The beautiful building in thtir pictur esque suuoundlngs have an appeal ance not un-English In ofjoct nnd on this oc casion the gleaming windows with their quaint titiceiy, the Hashing lights and the geneial good cheer made up a scene at least different from the culinary Clulstmas celebration In our land. Credit of the charming affair belongs to the principal, Miss Brown, nnd her clilclent assistants, Misses IUchaids, Hallow, Conner, Rachel Conner, King, Meniman, Church and Gertrude Wil liams. The contributions for tho occasion weie given by friends belonging to the board of trustees and othci.s. Among those who witnessed the celebration were: Henry Belln, jr., Hon. Alfted Hand, C. H. Welles, Ml-s Eelln, Mar garetta and D'Andelot Belln and llnr old Welles, besides many parents und f i lends of the pupils. These, eighty In number, weio assembled in the gills' hitting room where they fcat In eager expectation, nnd no words can describe their utter delight when through tho window came a veritable Sant i Claus with red fur tiimmed costume and bags of gifts. The shining eagor faces of the 1 1 1 1 1 .- people as ho took thcli hands in n hearty clasp on his rounds made a pic ture long to be lemembeied Then the folding dooi.s weie Hung open and theie wos a mighty tiee- 'lattening its brine li es against the ceiling and bending be neath a wonderful bunion of di lectahle things. At ono side stood a mammoth play house constructed by the bojs of the piimarj depaitinent and completely fuinMied with even thing even to the gianlto ware In the kitchen. In another part of the loom was a table on which was an encampment of sol diers, tho white tents gleaming in tho light. This will be n, never ending houico of Joy to the bojs. The gentle pilncipal and tho teaeheis with the mutton and assistant, Mrs Tuadway and MIfs Gain lei, were aides to Santa Claus in despoiling the tree, and it was ttnly a marvelous sight. No one would guess that the beautiful happy children and almost gi own-up bovs and girls were cuised with the blight of uny ufllictlon. They talked and laughed, and their mobile faces lit up with the nuest glow of enjo.vnient as they received their many gifts Theie was less noise, less eonfuslou and more orderly con duct than among most children, that was all. But It Mai beautiful nnd it in a pitv that all the people who lead this could not have seen that lovely plctuie. Headquaiteis Lieut. Ezra S.

CONTROLLERS HAVE A WARM DISCUSSION SLIDES FOR A STEREOPTICON WERE THE CAUSE. Councilman B. T. Jayno Thought They Had Not Been Ordered in tho Regular Way, nnd Wanted tho Supply Committee to Make Some Inquiries President Francois Said tho Opposition Was Duo to Jeal ousy Somo of tho Other Matters Acted Upon by tho Board. "That the Mldea used at No. 27 school bo paid for," wus a paragiaph con tained In the report of the teacher!' committee, presented at last night's meeting of the board of control. It piovoked one of tho warmest argu ments heard for several meetings. President A. L francol, of the Sec ond ward, In which No. 27 school Is located, and B. T. ,Iajne, the member from the Thirteenth, weio tho princi pals In the discussion. It seems that there Is an audience room In No. 27 school and the princi pal, Prof. J. B. Hawker, has a stere opticon nnd gives exhibitions for the benefit of the children and to illustrate lectin es of various kinds. About three years ago Prof. Hawker secured slides for this lantern to the value of $175, and las't night the teachers' committee lecommended that they be paid for. Mr. Jayno objected and asked that the bill bo referred to the supply com mittee for consldeiatlon. President Francois had a nice blight fire burn ing in his ojes when he relinquished the chair to O. B. Schrlefer, and when ho got on the lloor It was plain that ho had a full head of steam on. Ho staited out by rnjlng the opposition to the bill on tho part of Mr. Jajne was duo to Jealousj botvv een Prof. Haw kcr, of No, 27, and Prof. II. L. Burdlck, of No 2S, which is in Mr. .Tayne's ward. After lending a letter from the firm that furnished tho slides, Mr. Trancois said: SOME HARSH WORDS. "Mr. Jajne was elected as a leformer nnd he Is a good reformer when it docs not affect him. When It does, ho be lieves In spending all the money he can get" Mr. Jayno said he would not answer the personal uttnek upon him, but would confine his remaiks to a state ment of his position. He acted on prin ciple, and because he had no knowl edge that the slides had been ordered in the proper manner and were neces sary In the ;tcliool work, he wanted to have a committee inquire into the mat ter. He thought that was teasonable and businesslike. Since he has been a member of tho board ho has never act ed dlffeientli with lofcrence to any matter. If there Is nn jealousy be tween Piofps'iois Hawker and Burdlck, he know s nothing of it. Professor Bur die k never mentioned the matter of the slides to him. Theie is a regular way of oi doting supplies and every thing ought to bo done In that way. He then referred to a roll-top lesk he unilei stood had found Its way into No. 27 in an irregular manner. That brought Mr. rraneois to his feet again. "What Ml Jajne said pioves the tiutli of my assertion that Jealousy is behind this whole matter. Mr. Jajne makes a mistake in pajing any atten tion to the stoiles that come from Pro testor Bui dick directly or indirectly I have been cluiged with keeping a car penter tho j ear mound In No 27 and I am getting tired of these falee stories. I want tho matter settled light heie. Our end of the clt Is kept In constant tuimoll by these tales and bickerings" ORDERED PAID. After some argument by othci mem bei'i, it was shown that tho bill was appioved by the supply committee some time ago and thcniefeiied to the teaeh eis' committee to lepoit em the neces--sity of the slides That bodj's favor able repoit satlslled tho boaid that tho bill wn- all light and it was ordered paid. The following were other recom mendations of tho teaeheis' committee, and all were appioved: That tho teaeheis' examination In music be tiiiiducted at tho high tehrol Halurdij, IVbruarj 4, at 2 p m , bj Professor Dei m an That tho resignation of Miss Mary Pi vis, teacher at No 27 school, lie aecpptecl 'that tho board adveitlse for -.1 S-tnch globes und bj Cinch globes, tho bidders to furnish samples.
