Prospective Teachers Will Drop Certain High School Studies and Tako in Their Stead a Fart of the Training School Course City Con troller Howell .Hakes a Request That tho Board Allow Him Some thing for Clerk Hire Schools to Close Juno 23. On tho recommendation of Superin tendent Howell, conveyed through Chairman Jayne, of the High and Training school committee, the board of control last night shortened the training school courso from two years to one. In the letter containing the recom mendation, Superintendent Howell ex plained that a comparison showed that Scranton's complete school course is one year longer than any other large school district in the eastern states. A boy or girl entering Bchool at the ago of six years und passing successively through the primary. Intermediate, grammar, High and Training school coutscs would be twenty-one years of ngo at graduation. To shorten this a. year was advisable, the superintend ent thought, and he advised making the cut In tho Training school course. By eliminating certain studies In the High school course and inserting In their place In the curriculum certain of the Training school studies tho cut could bo effected without bcrlously Im pairing tho training of prospective teachers. Those In tho High school w ho do not contemplate entering tho Train ing school will not be affected by tho change. The board unanimously adopt ed tho superintendent's Idea. CONTROLLER WANTS PAY. A request from City Controller Howell for a contribution from the board towards paying for clerk hire In his department was referred to tho finance committee. The school district pays nothing towards tho maintenance of the controller's department and fully one-half Its clerical duties pertain to work of the board. For this reason Controller Howell haw fit to make a request for an nllowance. Mr. Gibbons, upon being Informed that nono of tho former controllers had looked for any thing from tho board, wanted to In definitely table the communication. The board allowed It to go to committee for due consideration. Tho building committee recommends that the secretary be instructed to ad vertise for bids for the erection of No. 38 nnd No. 9, which are to bo located respectively In (Petersburg and Pine Brook, but when Messrs. May, Fran cols, Gibbons nnd Evans disapproved of going so far in tho matter when only the ground plans of the buildings had boon presented by the architects, Mr. Shires, chairman of the committee, acting on a suggestion of Mr. Gibbons, moved to postpone nctlon until the next meeting and when this carried, hart a motion passed fixing a special meeting for next Monday night. The necessity for a new building to replace No. 9 is very urgent. The building Is tho sec ond oldest In tho city and Is absolutely unfit for school purposes. It was con demned by tho board of health somo timo ago. The teachers' committee reported ad versely on the request of Miss Rankin, a teacher at NY. 8, who wanted her pay Allowed for sixty-six days she wns HI. claiming she was made 111 by coal gas from a defective stove, and stovepipe In her school room. The- committee could not llnd that such was tho cause of Miss Rankin's Illness, and while they deplored the teachers' loss, could not conscientiously recommend the allow ance she asked for. The report was adopted. CLOSE OF SCHOOL YEAR. The recommendation of the teuchcis' committee that the schools close for tho summer on June 23 was adopted. On motion of Mr. Jayno the question of one-session a day during June was leferrcd to the teachers' committee. Mr. Jayno presented a petition from 150 residents of No. 34 school district, asking that two rooms bo added to that building, so that Intermediate pupils of that neighborhood would be saved from going to No. 27, over tho dangerous Delaware and Hudson cross ing. On motion of Mr. Rchwnss the build ing committee was directed to have an Iron fenco constructPd on the retaining wall at No. 30 building, tho cost to bo limited to $1 per foot. The recommendation of Superintend ent Howell that 1,000 more Brewster Academic dictionaries he purchased was approved by tho text book com mittee and adopted by the board. The teacheis' pay-roll for April was ap proved, as was also Miss Kate Jordan's application for a Normal school certifi cate. GIFTS FOR THE HOME. Many Remembrances During the Fast Month.

The May letter of tho Anthracite Coal Opeiators' association says of the an thtaclto coal trade: Tho anthracite market Is showing a slow, but steady improvement In prices, nnd a greater llrmncss. At several times duilng tho past month there was a slight weakness, but In each case this was brought to an end before any serious re sults occurred. The announcement of a now circular of prices for May has had much to do with Improving the situation. It Is undarstood that the prices named hold until May 31, after which the com panies may either continue them or ls huo a summer schedule. A strong effort Is being made to avoid concessions from tho figures given, In order that at tho be ginning of Juno tho murkct will be in a satisfactory condition for an advance, anticipating n. pnsslblo further Increiso In tho fall. Necessarily, this will depend wholly upon tho amount of coal mined during May and Juno. The production up to the cloie of April has been a llttio moro than was needful, but not enough, ns yet, to cattso troubl". As compared with tho first four months of previous years It has been as follows: ISDi 10,24,-.,0v0 1"M 1.1,007,000 tf L',4;3,000 lt'J7 10.1G7.000 IS3S 10,764,000 m) 13.000,000 Ktimated. Tho fact th.it such a tonnage 1ms been taken without materially affecting prices, lusrues wtll for the future of the ear. Indeed, every indication points to this us ono of tho best years, for tonnage, which tho Industry has ha1. What it will bo as to prices cannot be foretold, but with such an excellent prospect befoie them, thero is good roason to believe that those who control tho market will endeavor to avoid any courso which will destroy tho opportunity. May and June arn thn crit ical monthH. If tho market is held in hand and tho tonnutro kept within the consumptive requirements, a largo and protltahlft bitmmcr and fall trade will re sult. The estimate of 5,000.000 tons each for theso months seems within the needs of tho market, Blnco a largo part of It will movn west. Much uneasiness Is felt over a possible scarcity of miners when tho larger ton nage of tho fall months la to be pro duced. Evun now many operating com panies aro finding It difficult to secure enough skilled woikers to mine the rela tively feinnll tonnage of the spring months. If thU continues, nnd thero Is reason for fearing that It will, the out put in fall may bo Insufficient for tho de mand. This scarcity of men Is causing trouble In each region alike, nnd mav develop Into a difficult problem to be solved. Tho jvihnn for tho miners leav ing Is, that they canljfjet only from 60 to 175 working days a year In tho nnthruclta regions, whereas In tho bituminous dis tricts they can work from 2M to SCO days.

Coronor's Jury Lost Night, After Hearing Such Tostlmony as Was at Hand, Returned a Verdict to tho Effect That tho Child Was Murdorod by Somo Ono to tho Jur ors Unknown An Unconfirmed Report That the Polico Hnvo Mado nn Arrest. Tho coroner's Jury In the case of the dead Infant found Sunday night In a ncld near the Moses Taylor hospital met last night In the arbitration room at tho court house, and, after a brief sitting, brought In tho following ver dict: "We find that tho child met death from strangulation and stab wounds from somo sharp Instrument and other criminal nssaults by a person or per sons unknown to tho Jury." Signed, E. D. Owen, S. E. Sloat, Ivona B. Day, Harry D. Taylor, Row land D. Thomas, Watkln Matthews. Tho verdict Is founded upon the tes timony of Coroner J. J. Roberts and Clinton Potter, a young married man who lives at Monroe avenue, on tho edge of tho field, near the place where the body was found. Mr. Potter re lated how ho saw an apparently young woman moving mysteriously nbout the Held during Sunday afternoon nnd early evening. Ills dog "Nero" first discovered the woman while she was In a stooping posture only a few yards from Mr. Potter's home. Sho went away, but returned later, going to tho spot where the body was nfterward found and finally disap peared nt dusk. Mr. Potter described the woman as wearing a light grey or blue dress with a snowy hat. She woiv the clothes in a slovenly manner, slovenly In fact that llr. Potter's v ir. romarked that If sho (Mrs. Pot ti r) owned such good garments she'd "use them right." The woman went away when she saw a crowd gatlur Ing. "She seemcu to want to run, but was afraid," was the way Potter put It. Coroner Roberts described what he discovered In his autopsy Sunday night. Tho child undoubtedly had lived a short time after Its birth, though It was evident that somo one had nttempted to deny the little one even a peep at this world. Black marks, Indicating strangula tion, wore found on tho neck, and tho body and head bore fifteen tiny wounds, ns though some sharp weapon a hat pin or darning needle had been driven repeatedly Into the flesh. Coroner Roberts described tho enso as a "ilondisn murder." He intimated that tho police were at work on the case. It Is said the pollcp have already arrested a young man who Is supposed to have been tho father of tho child, but Chief Robllng was not prepared last night to make any posltlvo state ment. FANNY MENDELSSOHN CONCERT Salo of Seats Continues Today at Powell's Music Store. Tho sale of seats for the Fanny Men delssohn concert, which will be given Thursday evening at the Lyceum, opened auspiciously at Powell's yester day. Appearances Indicate that it will be a musical and social event of the highest order. The society congratu lates Itself upon having secured Frau leln Gaertncr, the 'cellist, and Madame Katharine Flsk, contralto. The latter, according to the last num ber of the New York Musical Courier, which devotes a column to her last New York concert, "has made New York her home; she Is fresh from signal Eondon triumphs, which she will not exploit, desiring to stand upon her merits as an artist only. She has acted wisely, for now she has won an unique position; she stands quite alonn among Ameri cans, nnd Now York can congratulate Itself that she hns como hero to stay. When one remembers the artists that have sung here this winter, nnd can say that, always with one signal ex ception, Mrs. Flsk's Interpretation was superior to any, one can know con clusively what manner of artist she Is." CORONER IS INVESTIGATING. Some Queer Facts Surrounding the Death of Miss render. Coroner Robeits went to Dunmore yesterday nnd began an investigation in to the cause of tho death of Miss Philippine Bender, the young woman who gave birth to a still born child T'lldcy afternoon and died Saturday veiling nt t! o'clock from blood poison ing. The I art that Mie died of blood pois oning within such a hoit llmo after the lilith of the child Is presumptive evidence, the roioner savs, of n crim inal net. Miss Bender's father says the child was burled Immediately after birth, but he admits that ln hud no death rr-rtlllcato or burial permit. The rrunnor will not empanel a Jurv until ln has denied up tho apparent jny tii jy that scenib to surround the death of the child. M'ALL MISSION MEETING Held at the Home of Mrs. L. J. Northup Mis.
