A special mcetlne of tho common council has been called for tomorrow nlfiht, to take action upon the reorgan ization ordinance. The call for the meeting was signed yesterday by tho following members: Luther Keller, W. J. Smith, Alfred Harvey, H. S. Alworth and H. M. Paine. On account of the abandonment by tho additional members of tho man damus proceedings which they wero to bring this week to compel tho Demo crats to soul them, there is every rea son to believe that the latter will in tend the meeting. There Is no fear now that they -will be compelled to put themselves on iccotd as being opiwsed to the taking out of tho hands of the special committee the credentials ot the new members. Just whether tho ordinandi will get through this week depends largely upon what Is done with it tomorrow nlKht. If some of the radical amendments which lire suggested are adopted, there Is good reason to bdlevu that select will not concur In them. THEY STRUCK A SNAG, Additional Councllmen Will Not Apply for a Mandamus Before Councils Reorganize. Tlu icason why tho thteatened mandamus proceeding have not ben brought by tho additional common councilman to compel tho Democratic members to scat them, was explained yesterday. It has boon discovered that when a petition Is piesented for a. mandamus upon the eoimi'llineii they must bo given at least five days' notice of tho Hgrument. This live days' notice pro vision does nwiiy with tiny hope of get ting a Judicial opinion on the new members' light to toko their seats be fore next Monday's reorganization. The nddltlunal members will present themselves for their seats next Mon day morning, when the Democrats will he forced to do one of two things either admit them or lofuse to do so. It c.imiot ho contended then that the committee which has tho credentials of tho additional members under con sideration had not had sufllclent time to consider them, for almost two weeks will then luivo flupsed. f'linlrman Calpln, of tho common councllmen, who Is recognized as the leudtT of the Democrats In that lnaiH'li, said yesterday: "I am opposed to the seating of thoe membi'i's, not because It would mean the elimination of a Democratic ma joilly. U Is hectiui-e n grave doubt exists as to whether the apportion ment nn which their election was hiisfd was legally made. Court should decide before I hey aro seated that they ate legally entitled to their seats. "How do we know. If these new members are seated that their vote w ill not be contested by some Inter ested person1' Suppose tho court should decide that they had no right to their M'tits? It would mean that every measure they voted for, if their votes helped to make the required majority, would be invalidated, and would have to he passed again. "The only propr and tight way Is to get n ludlelal opinion on the mat ter before they take tholr seats.11 THE ANNUAL MEETING. Yearly Session of Catholic Young Women's Club Held.

Ask for "TUANSLATOH," PUPILS' HEALTH ENDANGERED BAD SANITARY CONDITION OF NO. 22 SCHOOL REPORTED. Dr. O'Malloy Stated at Last Night's Meeting of tho Board of Control That tho Teacher's Were All Sick from Sewer Gas Building Commlt toe to Investigate Effort Mado to Fix Solicitor's Salary at $1,200. Change of the Rules Will Glvo Auditing Committee Work. According to a statement made by Dr. John O'Malley at last night's meeting of the board of control, tho sanitary condition of No. 22 school In the Thltd ward, Is very bad. Tho doctor made his statement nfter II. J. O'Malley had moved that the build ing committee be empowered to In spect tho building and recommend to the board at the next meeting tho necessary repairs which must be made. Dr. O'Malley said that several of tho teachers In the building are sick from the sewer gas which arises from tho closets. One of them contracted a bad ease of ancmln, he said, and he had every teason to believe that If tho teachers were so affected the children must be more so. He thought the question was one of gteat urgency. It wos decided to have the commltteo Investigate and wait until tho next meeting before doing anything definite. The Lackawanna Telephone company sent in n communication asking per mission to string its wires over the high school property. The request was teferred to the high and training com mittee. A little later In the evening. Mr. Jennings suggested that It would be a wise provision to have a telephone In each of the public schools ot the city to keep them connected with tho ofllces of the various ofllcers of the board. Captain May thought the plan o good ono and suggested that It might be odvlsahle to refer the matter to tho high and training committee, which might find It possible to secure 11 spec ial rate In return for the privilege of allowing tho company to run Its wires over tho high school. It was finally decided to refer the whole matter to the building committee. In conjunc tion with the chairman ot every com mittee of the board, Mr. Fchrlefer offered a motion lo n ake the salary of the board's solici tor. D. J. Iteedv. $1,200 11 year. Mr. Lnngan objected to this on the ground that the t.atil had already derided t retain the solicitor under the old sys tem of paying him sepatate amounts for each service rendeted. The matter was refoned to the llnance commit tee. Mr. ft vans, who Is a member ot tho auditing committee, of which the for mer president, 15. T. Jayne. Is chair man, offered n motion providing thut this committee should meet on the Fri day night preceding each meeting and audit the hills to he submitted. The auditing committee in the past has always been n sort of a joke, he said, and never has been known to (meet. Mr. Jayne objected to the adoption of the motion, statintr that the com mittee on rules, of which be Is a mem ber, would Incorporate 11 ptovlslon sim ilar to thl. He moved that the ques tion be lefeirel to the committee on niles and the motion was adopted, Mr. F.vans nlone dissenting. The secretaty was Instiucted on le. commendation of the finance commit tee to prepare a financial statement for the guidance of the board in making the appropriation for the eoniing year. The ofllcers' and Janitors' pay rolls for the mouth of March wete passed. CANDIDATES FOR CHAIRMEN. There Will Be a Lively Struggle In Common for the Office. If the additional common councllmen elected at the recent municipal election are admitted to take their seats by court befote next Monday thcie prom ises to be if lively light made for the ch.iiimanshlp and deikshlp. With the additional seventeen councllmen seated both Democrats and Republicans will have just nineteen members. The nineteen Democrats ate pledged to tupport P. F. Calpln for ihalimau and Y. A, I.ynott for clerk. The Re publicans will caucus some night this week lo agree upon their candidates. Luther Keller, II. F.. Pulne and II. S. Alworth uie among those mentioned for tho chahmaiishlp, but no candidate for cleik has been heard from. Among the Republicans there Is a desiie to abolish the otllce. There seems, however, little possi bility of doing this. It would be nec essary to pass the it-organization or dinance before next Monday, with a provision declaring that tho assistant city clerk act as clerk of tho common council and that the latter olllce bo abolished. The chances of getting the ordinance passed before Monday In even its present form aro slim and there Is hardly n doubt that an amend ment embodying thu feature mentioned above would be voted down by the Democrats, who nt thB pie-sent time are In the majority. IS STILL A MYSTERY. Can't Determine Whether Cillbertl Was Killed or Killed Himself. There wero no djvelopnrnts In tho mystery surrounding the death of John Cillbertl, tho Italian, who was found with a gun shot wound in his right breast Sunday In Little Kngland. No additional arrests to those of Sunday wero made yesterday, nnd the authori ties arc still divided In their opinions of murder and suicide. County Detective W. A.

Modem medical science and skill has nt last succeeded In producing a rem edy which effectually cures that com mon, but extremely annoying trouble, piles, Tlie Pyramid Plte Cure Is the remedy referred to nnd repeated and thorough trials of tho remedy during tho past three years have demonstrated that It Is tho long-sought for remedy which can be depended upon for a genuine cure. There are many remedies which glvo relief, but such relief Is only tem porary and tho trouble soon returns, as bad, or worne, than ever. Hut the Pyramid Pile Cure stands practically alone as a lasting cure. It not only gives Immediate relief, but the relief Is there to stay. .Mr. J. W. Itolllns writ's briefly and to the point regarding his experience with Piles, Ho says: -'I consider the Pyramid Pile Cure without tin equal. It cured me In less than thirty days. I waited llfteen days or more to be sure the remedy had fully cured me before writing you. I can now suy that I am cured and I shall iccommcud the Pyra mid IMIe due at every possible oppor tunity, bjratise It deserves It." We quote from this gentleman's let ter to show our readers how promptly the remedy nets nnd also thst there Is no return of the ttouble. Tho Pyramid Pile Cure Is simple nnd harmless, containing purely vegetable Ingredients and enn be used In all cases with perfect safety and with the as surance that a cure will follow. Physi cians prescribe It and use It In all cases of piles In preference to the danger nnd uncertainty of a surgical operation. It cures without pain or inconvenience of any kind. The Pyramid Pile Cute Is prepared by the Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall, Mich., and sold by druggists every where nt CO cents per package, making it the safest, surest, cheapest pile cure before the public and one which you can try with almost certain success.

The opinion was written by Justice Mestrezat, and part of It follows: "Had the learned Judge undertaken to support his assumption by nn as certainment of tho legislative Intent, ho would have discovered that ttie net wus prospective and not Intended to nffect pending litigation. "It Is text book law that statutes must be construed us prospective In every Instance, except where tho legis lative Intent that they shall net retro spectively Is exptcsscd In clear and unambiguous terms, or such Intent Is necessarily Implied from tho language of tho statute, which would Iw Inoper ative otherwise than retrospectively. "If Intent Is doubtful, a construction shall he put upon the statute that renders It most consonant to equity, and least Inconvenient. "Under the act of 1S99 petitioners are required to give bond conditioned for tho payment of costs. This Is incon sistent with a legislative Intent to make tho net of 1M)3 npply to pending cases."
