STREET CLEANING.
Only a Part of the City's Accumulat
ing Tilth Has Been Removed.
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.

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

VERY BUSY DAYS THESE.
This Month tho Scranton Postofflco

Than Ever Befoio in the
Same Length of Time.
Tho Scranton postolllcc this month

Despite the rush of business it is pro
posed to keep abreast of the business
