nrcmbercd among his parishioners for
many years. Ills church work, his elo

the bereaved, the hopes and happiness
or the hereafter he has InTbued them

shrine him in their ofr'eetlons. His suc
cessor, whoever ho might have been,

ing beerr in Carbondale fle year's and

lar milts. Tho scheme Is practicable
and It would mean a saving to the
company, but Mr. Frloder hesitates to
employ tills class of labor nt night, be
cause it is against his ideas, and ho is
opposed to the practice.
Tho company today gave out the, fol
lowing notices for publication:
"Kmplro Silk Co. Notice. Applica

A meeting of the. strikers was held
Thursday evening in the McNulty ar
cade, und a union was forrrred. The)
young folks listened to bcvcral
speeches by local labor loaders, who
counselled patience find firmness. The
president, Mr. Fngan, yfterday pre
sented the demands af the strikers to
reporters nnd said they must got them
before they will go back. They are:

A Petition.
A petition ii being circulated by
some of tho friends of Professor W.
D. Bryen asking the school board to
reinstate him ns principal of the High
school. It will bo remembered that
when Professor Hockenbeiry was
ousted from the board, Professor Bry
den, then an under teacher, was elect
ed to the position. Professor Hockon
berry took the matter before tho peo
ple, and It beenme tho most prominent
fenturo ftf the city compalgn lost
spring. After a bitter campaign Hock
enborry and his running mate, Joseph
Gallagher, were elected by overwhelm
ing odds and Professor Brydon was In
turn ousted by the board, Just pre
vious to the disorganization of tho old
board, Professor Bryden's contract,
which originally was lor one year only,
was continued for a second year, the
old boatd passing the matter over the
new board which was about to le seat
ed, Tho new board refused to nbldo
by the nctlon of the old board, but
Professor Hockenbeiry lacked one vote
of getting back his old placer nnd C.
M. Lesher, head of the business de
partment, was made acting principal.
At the opening of school on Sept. 4
both Mr. Bryden and Mr. Lesher wen;
present. Mr. Brydon refusing to ul
low Mr. Lesher to assume control of
the school, as ordered by the new
board, Hockonbcrry, who had been
cleoted .chairman of the school board,
becured'n constable and had him placed
under arrest. Professor Lesher has
since been irr charge ns acting princi
pal. Mr. Bryden Immediately applied
for an Injunction to restrain the school
board from Interfering with his work,
he claiming his conlruct was perfectly
valid. The case was tried before Judge
Edwards about two months ago and
tho people since have been Impatiently
awaiting the decision which was hand
ed down Thursday and which merely
stated that Mr. Bryden was pursuing
the wrong course to secure redress, as
he should have asked for damages In
stead of for an injunction. It Is thought
Professor Bryden. If ho falls to be
seated by the board within a short
time, will sue for damages. His side
of the tight has been expounded by a
number of men, who uie engaged at
present In circulating tho petition
above mentioned. The fight has, how
ever, reached such an acute stage
that most of the people aie wary of
taking either side. Professor Hockerr
berry had a petition of about 3,000
names before the board, but its prayer
remains unansweied and In all proba
bility the orre now being circulated will
have as little effect, us the members
of the board are committed to one side
or tho other. It seams quite likely that
Professor Lesher w ill be loft In charge
until the election of a new board, or
until court decides whether or not the
Bryden contract 1& valid. Many people
argue that both contending parties
should be turned down.
A Brilliant Success.
The entertainment given by the
Young Men's ynlon Inst evening was
a brilliant success. The rooms were
well Milled with a large and appie
ciative audience, and many flattering
comments were heard legardlng the
meiit of the pel formance. The pro
giammo was vailed and each one who
participated was a player of ack
novvldcged ability.. Speclnr mention
should be mode or th work of the
Graham sisters, who carried off the
honors of th" evening. Professor .1.
Franklin Crowed rendered a zither
rolo of his own composition. It vvii3
entitled "Melancholy," and so highly
pleased were his hearers that he was
lotcd to respond to an encore, de
spite of the fact that hrs was the last
number on the programme. He ren
dered as a second selection, "Home,
Sweet Home." Miss Eunice Bryson,
who sang, "The Little Faded Flow 01,"
also deserves very ci editable mention
for her sweet singing. Little Blodw In
Davis was very litre, as were also Miss
Clio Carter, who recited, and W. D.
Evans and II. F. Clnike, who sang.
