MR. BRYDEN TAKES CHARGE.
Resumes the Position He Was Forced
to Relinquish on Oct. 2.
Principal W. D. Bryden resumed his
place ns the head of the Hlgbssschool
yesterday morning. He received a
very flattering greeting from the stu
dents, the Inrgcr part of whom were
very evidently pleased to welcome
their teacher back. Mr. Bryden, with
Ills usual (Ulet, self-possessed air,
mole the direction of affairs without
mi attempt to give way to the satis
faction he must have felt nnd In a
very short time things were running:
n peacefully and uneventfully ns
1 hough he had heen In his "position the
past six weeks, Instead of being com
pelled to await the law's slow course.
There was considerable apprehen
sion anions the more timid pupils that
them might be another scene enacted
before their eyes, similar to the one
flint took place on Oct. 2. But the
morning hours passed serenely away
and nothing occurred to mar the
peaceful calm that settled down.
The citizens nmT taxpayers are al
ready preparing for the fight to elect
school directors in February. Botli
sides nre quietly getting to work, and
rumors of a wholesale shakcup are
rife. Some of the more zealous are
talking of the benefit that might be
derived if the system of election of
these important officials could be
changed. A few of the earnest ones
are saying that it would be a vast
improvement if the six directors were
eleored from separate wards and a
president, of the board was elected as
an additional member, with the privi
lege of casting a deciding vote In
case of a tie. In this way all chances
of a deadlock on important questions
would bo avoided. From now on, the
strengthening of party lines will no
doubt go on with determination and
n never-failing topic for private and
public discussion this winter will he
provided. -.
A Letter from Mr. Hockenberry.
Kililur of The Tiibunc, Carbondale.
in yoiy issue of yesterday, appears
a letter "" from Mr. Bryden, which Is
characteristic of him and his friends.
"What they do themselves they blame
upon others. I stated to the school
hoard a fact and mentioned no names.
1 merely slated that a student had
failed in her college entrance exami
nations, o tiling unheard of In the his
tory of our High school, and that the
failure was in Greek, Mr. Rryden's
study, which he alone had taught to
(lie student. My authority was the
young lady's father, who told me that
his daughter had failed in Creek and
Civil fiovernment in tier college en
trance examinations, T iiked his per
mission to use these facts if I thought
it necessary, and ho told me to do as
I saw tit. .Scarcely anyone would
have known who was meant, if Mr.
Bryden had not made It public.
The man who will make a cheap bid
for popular sympathy by hiding him
self behind a woman, is so thorough a
weakling as never to have known a
manly impulse, nnd is a living embodi
ment of tlie Darwinian theory, which
he so strongly defends.
If. .T. Hockenberry.
A Quilting Bee.
Mrs. P. R. Stevens, of Belmont
street, entertained a large number of
her friends at her home yesterday at
a quilting partv. The quilt that re
ceived the finishing touches from deft
fingers, was pieced by Mrs. Stevens'
grandmother, Mrs. Stevens, of Ply
mouth, Pa,, and is a remarkable piece
of work, with its multiplicity of
stitches, and the accuracy of the fitted
blocks. The ladles who participated
In the afternoon's pleasant task wore
Mrs. E. Bevan. Mrs. S'rnton. of Ply
mouth: Mis. B. Dufree, Mrs. W. White

the gale that swept through the street
of this city about 1,30 o'clock yester
day afternoon, A great many trees

Episcopal church gave a supper
last evening In the cozy dining room
of the church. There were a large
number of partakers of tho spread
served by these willing helpers and
the proceeds derived were very satis
factory,, That the supper was also
satisfactory needs hardly to bo stated.

"AND DARKNESS PREVAILED."
The Storm Plays Hob with the Elec
tric Light Wires.
The cyclonic storm that swept over
this city from the southwest yesterday
afternoon did a great deal of damage
to the electric light wires und last
evening the major portion of the city
was In utter darkness. South of Sixth
avenue and west of Main street no
electric lights were visible. Inquiry nt
the Lackawanna Valley Electric com
pany's plant, on North Main street,
last evening, revealed the fact that the
company had been crippled greatly In
Its service by the high winds. General
Manager Bevan said thnt the company
had all Its linemen out repairing the
damage as expeditiously as possible,
and he thought the broken wires would
be replaced before the night was over.
The entire west side of the city con
tained not a single street lamp in
working order. Fortunately, the busi
ness section was all right and up in
the residence portion of the central
city nil was well. The repairers made
slow work last evening w account of
the unabated fierceness of the gale
that swept by their lofty perches.

The presiding genius nt tho sale wns
Constable A. J. Neary, and his good
nature was sometimes taxed by an Im
portunate bidder, who wonted to buy
tin article after It hnd been knocked
clown. The way the crowd tramped
through the composing room nnd jug
gled with the type left standing on
the stones and carelessly ran their
fingers through heuped-up f cases,
would have sent cold thrills of horror
through the anatomy of an old-time
printer, who reverenced "the leaden
messengers of thought" before the
days 6f the typesetting machine.
The gooJs were sold In single lots.
Many good bargains wore secured, nnd
some bidders beckoned to the auc
tioneer regardless of what they wore
bidding on. One gentleman of Ger

THE GOOD ROADS
CONVENTION
Important Recommendations Made
by the Legislative Committee.
fly KtcIikIvf Wire from The Aocialcd l'rcss.
Chicago, Nov. 31. Several important
recommendations were made by the
legislative committee at today's session
of the National Good Roads conven
tion. The report, which was present
ed shortly after President Moore had
called the convention to order, made
the following recommendations:
First, that a highway commissioner
be appointed by each stale to have
charge of all roads; second, that the
poll tax be abolished and all taxes for
road maintalnence bo paid in cash.
Thlsvlncludes the repeal of the statute
labor laws. Third, that a state road
plan be adopted In all states, including
the employment of convict labor in
preparation of materials for roads.
President Moore, speaking In support
of the last recommendation, said:
"That the farmers of this coii'itry,
though owning less than one-lifth of
tlie property of the country, have up
to this time paid all the expenses of
roads for all the people, except in three
or four states.
"Wo believe," said Mr. Moore," that
these expenses should be equalized and
tho people of the cities should give
their .lust share."
A committee wns appointed by Presi
dent Moore to draft a bill outlining
the suggestions of the legislative com
mittee. This, after open debate by the
convention, will be completed and 'sent
to thirty-six legislatures In the Imlteil
States which meet in January.
A special committee will also be ap
pointed which will visit Washington
Immediately and confer with Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson In regard to the
recommendations of tho convention.
Among the papers read at today's ses
sion was one by General E. G. Harri
son, of Washington, D. C read by his
son, and a speech by Andrew Pattule,
M. P., of Canada.
An amendment to the legislative
committee report, offered by H. M.
Wilson, of the government geological
survey was adopted by the convention,
providing that wide tires be specified
for vehicles to be used for traffic on
public roads.

Views of a Canadian-Born Soldier on
the Philippines.
Tho Toronto Globe prints a letter
from a Canad tan-born private soldier
in the American army in the Philip
pines which gives In few words a clear
idea of some main facts about that
country. For example:
The average llllplno has no am
bition and cares very little whether
the Spaniards or the Americans gov
ern his country; as long as he can
obtain his living lie is satisfied. The
Filipinos who are still holding out
against our government are. In the
case of the officers, men who believe
that If tho Americans are to rule this
country they will never be able to
hold any public office and line their
pockets at the expense of the poorer
classes. The rank and file are still
holding out simply because they love
the life. Nothing suits them better
than this wild, uncertain life, and they
Hock around the disorganized army of
the insurgents not so much because
they care who goveyns their country,
as because they love this mode of
living.
These Islands are exceedingly
.wealthy and will prove to be an excel
lent country for any enterprising
young man who has a few hundred dol
lars, and who Is willing to endure the
hardships of tills country. Tobacco
flourishes in almost every part of these
islands. The cocoa tree is found In
many districts, and it is of the host
rpmlity. Sugar cunu plantations are to
he seen everywhere, and the juice is
very refreshing if taken in small quan
tities. Rice grows everywhere, and
forms the. staple food of the Filipinos.
The hemp industry Is one of the largest
of Its kind In the Avoiid, and Is one
of the best paying industries on the
i&land, Tho cocoanut Is cultivated to
n large extent, nnd the oil Is used
throughout the whole archipelago for
lighting and for cooking when It is
fresh, Coffee growing is as yet in its
Infancy, but it hns been proven that
the plant thrives well and produces
one crop annually of the best quality.
Fruits of nearly every description
grow In the different islands, nnd In
most enses form part of the regular
foml of tho Filipino.
The climate of the Philippines Is gen
erally tropical, but, owing- to the ex
tent of the country and Its posltluu, ,a
very wide range of temperature and
local conditions Is to h-j observed, The
seasons may bo classed into three
lint, cool and wot, Tho first begin
about March 1st and lasts until the
end of June, Tim second begins In No,
vmber and ends In February. The
temperature Is then delightful, the air
balmy and springlike, with northerly
winds, a clear sky and a bracing at
mosphere, Tim latter season begins In
July and ends In October, during the
greater part of which time It rains.
Tho natives live for tho most part
in small huts built of bamboo and
thatched with nlpa grass or palm
leaves. They are built about live or
six feet front the ground on posts, and
look like a s'ood-slzed bird cage, Tha
better class havo frame houses, with
corrugated Iron roofs, with a small
pagoda In front. These liousos ure sel
dom more than two stories high, and
tho lower story is generally uspd for
the animals nud storehouse Reds are
a luxury and are made of bamboo, and
In soma of tha finer houses old-fashioned
four-posters mav be, seen, made
of mahogany, with canii bottoms, Thu
natives In general sleep' on a piece of
matting that js spread on tlie floor

The American Railway company has
been organized Avlth the object of
transferring passengers or mall mat
ter from New York to San Franclsoo In
twenty-four hours, or from New York
to Chicago in five hours.
Electricity wlll be the motor power,
says the New York Herald, and the
single car trains will 'ba operated by
one man at the handle of a cearless
motor In the point of the vehicle. The
cars will be built of aluminum and wil
hold fifty persons. They will travel or.
a single rail eevated structure and can
be run a minute apart. A magnetic
brake will mako it possible to stop a
car In forty feet.
Noise will be almost eliminated, and
the nuisance of burned out fuses and
flashes of electric flame In the cars will
be unknown, as little power will be con
centrated. Instead, generating spib
power houses will bo scattered over tho
line ut a distance of 100 miles from
each other. Thu cars will not stop nor
even slow up at these points. Tha
higher the speed the less the strain
will be, for the new cars will be oner
ated on the bicycle principle, with ball
bearing wheels and all the weight In
the center.
Each compartment will bo entirely
separated from the rest of the car.
They will be similar otherwise to a
sleeping car section, with two double
seats facing each other. Each pas
senger will sit beside a window. There
will be a private door for each com
partment and these doors .will all slide
open or shut at once at the touch of a
single button In thu motor cab.
