THE SCHOOL BOARD'S

Reorganisation Goes Through in a
Lively Manner as Outlined in Tho

Elected President, Kerwln, Secre
tary, and Swlgert, Treasurer The
Precedent of the Board Kept Sa
credIncidents of the Meeting.
As predicted In The Tribune yester
day. Hi" Cnrhonrtolo school hoard Inst
night sacredly observed tho precedent
nf nenrlv thlrtv yeats' standing and
effected looiginilzntlon, after the dead
lock on Monday night, by electing ox
Pertotnry P. V. Hughes as president.
Piebald' Kerwln us woiotury, and (...
'. HwlRcrt ns tiousttror.
Tho mooting was truly a love feast,
the elections being carried on without
any hitch, a notable contrast from
Monday night and particularly a year
P.enrcanlsinilnn has been cffcctPd and
without any ivtrmony, but Interesting
development?: mav l expected when
the prlnclpalslilii and other matters
come up Inter.
After Temporal y Chairman ltoeken
berry called the meet Ins?, he appointed
Mr. Sw inert a? temporarv secretary, In
lilac" nf Mr. Kerwln. whfi was absent.
"ii..i Mr. KwUoii took his seat,
T-mpnr.iry Chulimnn Hockenberry re
winded the members! UnH the board
1 ,nl not yet oign nixed, and he called
for nominations for president.
Mr. ilnilagher arne and nominated
Mr. Hughe.... Mr. Vannun, who at the
last meeting ot tho board was the op
ponent of Mr. Hughes, showed to what
extent th spirit of harmeny prevailed
Hinonpr the memhers, when he seconded
the nomination of Mr. Hughes for
president.
Mr. J lushes' elect Inn was tho next
step, pvrry member of the hoaid voting
for him. further testimony of the spirit
ot harmony and good will. Mr. Hock
enberry sui rendered the chair to the
r:ewly elected president
Mr. Hushes, In acceding to the seat
over wliieli there was so determined a
tight last week, made a characteristic
address, teise and to the point. He
said:
"Cientlomen, I assure you I appreci
ate the honor of being called to the
presidency of tlv Carbondalo hoard of
education. I want to state, further,
that this election is unconditional:
there iik no string;. attached to it, and
this I would have the public to under
stand. "If I am to be president," said Mr.
Unfiles with greater earnestness, "I
am going to be president in every sense
of the word. In the administration of
my duties I will aim to be as careful
and as hoiusl as I can be. 1 will ov
pect the courtesy that is due the presiding-
officer, nnd (ho memhers, are as
sured of the same treatment from me.
"I want to iidd." said Mr. Hughes
with notable emphasis, "that tliero will
be no rancor or feeling of any charac
ter In the board's discussion, and that
dissensions will bo let! on (lie outside.
Again I thank you, gentlemen, and ac
cept the ofllc wllli all the since pos
sible" President Hughes, when ho took his
seat, called for nominations for secre
tary. Mr. Swigert nominated Mr. Ker
wln, as was ngreei upon, Mi-. Hocken
berry seconding th- nomination.
Mr. Kerwin, as in t lie case or Presi
dent Hughes, rrccied a hrrninny vote,
all of the members voting for him.
The' Inst step in tho programme to
keep sacred the precedent, of the board
was the election of Mr. Swlgert as
treasurer. This was done by .Mr. Van
nan placing his name n nomination,
Mr. rjnllagher seconding the same, ana
nil of the members voting him as their
choire.
This completed the organization of
the hoard, and thus was completed the
love feast that was decided upon
among the members since Monday
n'sht. when they seemed hopelessly
divided against each other.
At the suggestion of President
Hughes the salaries of the ofliucs of
secretary find treasurer for the com
ing year were considered,
Mr. Gallagher moved that their com
pensation bo the same. Ills motion
covered both offices, but before It was
voted on Mr. Hockenberry asked that
the question be decided that each
otllce be voted for separate!". This
was agreed to by Mr, Gallaghei, The
office of secretary was considered first,
the board voting to fix the salary tho
same as last year, t.vio per onnu'm.
The treasurership followed. All of
the menibeir but Mr. Hockenberrv
voted in favor of fixing the compen
sation for this office the same ns last
year, $."n0,
Mr. Hockenberry voted "no," and
he did so that he might be consistent.
Last year he opposed allowing $,ino
-as compensation, believing Hint while
-the secretary earned this sum and
-.over $ano, or even less, was -ample for
the treasurer,
The tax levy for the coming year
was next considered. Mr. Hocken
berry was of the opinion that 11 mills
was ample. This Is one mill less than
THOUSANDS LIKEWISE

many remedies that failed, It is now
un admitted fact that Dr. A. W,
Phase's Ointment never falls, and to
impress upon .Scrnnton people the ah

isfaction or refund the price paid
Mr, P. .1. Manley, of No. Bis p,reh
street, .Scrnnton, l'a says: 'Tor eight
ymrB I had been a sufferer from Itch
ins piles, Homo nights I could not
sleep at nil, nnd In hot weather I lost
' lots of time at work with tliem, tho
irritation was so great. I tried every
thing with no success until i gnt a
box of Dr, A. W. Chase's Ointment at
Matthews Bros.' drug store, temporary
' headquarters corner Washington and
Lackawanna avenue. I used part of
the box, and huve seen nothing of tho
trouble since. This result I consider
wonderful In the light of past efforts
and failure to cure. It's a gieat oint

dal ed, because there would he Utile
or no expense to he met on the school
buildings nr their repair, which was
not true of last year, when over
$4,0(10 was so expended. The levy for
tho building fund this year he fixed at
S mills: last year It was I mills.
There wns u long discussion over
Mr. Hooknnherry'rt motion. Mr. Swel
gerl believed thai the levy should re
main the same a Inst year. In order
to reduce the Interest on the loan of
MO.liOO which the board obtained fmni
the Miners' and Mechanics' bank.
After the question was well can
vassed, tho tax levy was decided upon
ns 11 mills, but on motion of Mr. Swel
gert, $11,100 was transferred from the
sinking fund to wipe out a part of the
twenty thousand dollar loan.
There were several minor matters
disposed of.
Thv rules as found In the state laws
were adopted for the government of
tho board.
Permission was granted to the
graduating class of this year to use
the assembly room of the high school
oil' Sunday afternoon next when Kov.
A. F, Chaffee, of the Methodist church,
will deliver the baccalaureate sermon.
The hoard also changed Its meeting
night from tho first and third Mon
days to the fiist and third Saturday
of each month.
Tho following hills were ordered
paid if the secretary find them to be
correct: C'arbondale flas company.
$1.2; John nooth, $."i2.2.-.. The state
ment of the Miners' and Mechanics'
bank for ?i!ll.3l, interest on loans, was
approved and ordeied paid.
Kel'nro the board adjourned Presi
dent Hughes and ex-President Hock
enberry paid each other sincere com
pliments'. President Hughes said that
he war, deeply indebted to Mr. Hoeft
cnberry for Ids kind assistance, which,
he said wan ;i factor in the work ot
the year.
Sir. Hockenberry said that tho sec
retary's book;: were never so well kept
as last year, during Mr. Hughes' term
as secretary. On the last night of tlio
old board's existence tho hooks were
balanced and the keys were ready to
bo turned over. This was tho lhr.t In
stance that Mr. Hockenberry said In
could recall in the nineteen years that
ho was connected with the board.
MAIL MEN IN SHIRT WAISTS.
Carriers of Carbondalo Office Make
Their Bow with the New Idea of
Summer Dress.
The resident." of Carbondnl" were
given tin opportunity yesterday to
comment on and admit" tlio Carbon
dale mail carriers in their now shirt
waist.
The mall men made their bow in
tho new idea of summer dress yester
day afternoon and some one was mean
enough to say "and it rained tho
same day.'' Kven though it did rain,
tho distui banc j of tho elements could
not be laid against the new attire of
tlio carriers for their "shirt waists"
are tar fiom that noisy pattern that
might set up a commotion in the heav
ens. On the contrary the patterns
weio rpiite genteel, and on this point
every one seemed to agree.
The selection of tlio pattern which
is dull blue. Is quite becoming to the
acknowledged modesty of the Carbon
dalo carriers, who are prone to fleo
fiom compliment which they did yo;-
terday, for everywhoie they were
greeted with flattering compliments on
thoir cool anil sensible looking dross.
The carriers proved sort, of pace
makers ir. the race of fashion, for soon
after they made their appearance, tho
shir waist mac was quite a familiar
flguro on Main street. The young men
of the town who had purchased shirt
waists, but who wore timorous about
provoking more than ordinary com
ment by appearing as tho first In tho
new dress, came from all sides when
the mail carriers paved tlio way, and
during the afternoon and evening tho
shir', waist men were about the streets
in nil the brightness of thoir vari
colored dress.

WHEN WILL THE
STREETS BE NAMED?
This Is a Question Thnt Is Puzzling
nnd Mnyhnp Worrying Postmaster
Thomas nnd Those Residents Who
Are Deprived of Tree Mail Dcllv
cry Because of Neglect to Estab
lish a System of Streets.
When will the unnamed streets of
Carbonilalo and the numberless houses
thereon bo given a name and number?
This is something over which Post
master Thomas Is closely pondering
these warm June days, and this same
(Iticstlon Is worrying the thousand or
more residents of Carbonihile who are
denied the ndvnntngeit of free mall de
livery simply because iheic Is no tec
ognlzed system of streets or house
numbering In Cat-hondal".
The Tribune called attention to this
curl his condition several weeks ago
and pointed out that the absence of
this system was the only circumstance
that stood In tho way of Carbondalo
being allowed a mounted mall carrier,
to which It has long hcon entitled. The
matter was taken up, at tho time, by
one or two of the councllmen and the
ptomlse was given that there would
be a remedy forthcoming and a. satis
factory street system would bo ar
ranged and would bo put In operation.
This, wns a number of weeks ago and
at a seemingly opportune time just
before tlio joint streets, bridges and
sewers committee made Its annual in
spection of the streets of the city. The
recommendations of that committee
have been made and adopted by coun
cils, but there wasn't a reference to
the contemplated street naming or
house numbering. Nor has there boon
anything done since that time. When
this comniittce'srecommondations came
up for concurrence In common coun
cil, Mr. l.oftus inquired if It contained
any provision or recommendation for a
street system. Tho hope sprung up
then that common council would take
somi action, but after only a momen
tary discussion tho matter was dis
missed. Attention Is called anew to the ne
glect of councils to provide for this
greatly needed system of streets be
cause of the approaching close of the
fiscal year, tho beginning of July, when
the postal department considers ap
pioprlatinns for tho coming year. Cur
bondale's light to the appropriation
i'01 a mounted carrier has never been
questioned by the. government author
ities; or the contrary, it has boon con
ceded and acknowledged, but when
ever it was lequested, the department
simply pointed out tho circumstance
that tin- city with its iri.nno inhabit
ants, bad not even a semblance of a
stieol system, and Postmaster Thomas
v as forced to silonco and could only
shake his head that this was too true.
Tlio pnstofllco here has a surplus
each month, which is forwarded to the
Tailed Stales treasurer to help moot
the expenses of some other depart
ment, while its rightful place is here.
In Carbondalo, wheie it could ho used
in paying for tlio mounted carrier, who
is kept iiwnv because, for reasons that
canno; be discovered, councils hesltati
to establish the stree' systei: which
is an impeiative necessity in tho econ
omy of an- city, particularly one of
over 1P,,iW inhabitants tlio population
of ''arlinudale.
An Instance of how a large number
of lcsidiutK are being discriminated
against Is to be found in tlio circum
stance that nearly a thousand peoplo
In the Pvimdar section rue entirely
shut off fiom fre delivery, being ro
quliei: to come to tli post office daily
for their mai.'. The mounted carrier
would be adequate to bring the mail
service in this city up to the highest
ofllelonoy. in the meantime, while
councils keep dormant on this arrange
ment, the postnflle? ofllcials nnd the
residtnts who are being discriminated
against r.r required to persevere In
the exorcise of patience, until the long
awaited relief makes its appearance.

physician's office, seeking aid for her
child, who, It will bo recalled, was
discharged from Emergency hospital

fully been treated for an Infected

that it may be necessary to resort to
hospital treatment again.
