This comparison shows an Increase

.lumber only about forty were a tem
porary accession last fall while out of
employment on account of the strike.
This still leaves an actual Increase of
174 pupils.

NIGHT SCHOOL
The number of pupils in attendance
at night school weie; Male, 133; fe
male. 3; total attendance, 171.
The general results obtained from
night school are by no means satisfac
tory owing to irregular attendance. A
few pupils derived some benefit espe
cially those more icgular in attend
ance No doubt quite a number of
pupils were supposed by their patents
to he at school, but taking advantage
of privileges, did not attend school.
The number of pupils graduated
from the High school. 3fi. This is the
largest class In the history of the
school. The number of pupils pro
moted to the first year In High school,
9s. This is also probably the largest
class ever promoted to the High school
at any one time.
Of certificates recognized by law as
conferring a legal license to teach, the
teachers held as follows compared with
the preceding year:
1900 1901
Normal diplomas 'i 2t
Permanent certificates 2 io
Professional certificates .... 22 10
Provisional certificates 9 3
This shows a commendable effort on
the part of the teachers to hold the
higher grade certificates which natur
ally means better qualifications for the
work to be done.
Respectfully submitted,
rimer E. Garr.
NO BAND CONfcERTS.
Proposal of Mozart Too High for
Cycle Club.
It will he a disappointment to learn
that there will be no band concerts
this year under the auspices of the
Carbondale Cycle club. The club did
hope to provide the puhlle with a
series of concerts, the same as proved
so popular last year, but when the
proposal of the Moznrt band was re
ceived It was found to ho so high as
to be considered exorbitant by the
Cycle cluh and the idea was aban
doned. The high figure of Che band Is
due to the fact that the organization
Is now In the union, and these are
union prices.
Presentation to Mr. Walker.

In the work he so reluctantly leaves.
A social hour was then enjoyed.
THE LIGHTING CONTRACT
A Varied Discussion as to tho Effect
of tho Mayor's Veto Councils Will
Probably Moot to Pass tho Veto
Over tho Mayor's Head,
The failure of councils to meet on
Monday night to consider Mayor KIN
patilck's veto of the lighting rontinct
has stirred up quite a discussion as to
the stntus of the rontinct, nnd to
satisfy a numher of The Tribune's
rendeis. The Tribune representative
yesterday sought the opinions of some
of the attorneys of the city. It was
suggested that the fact thnt the coun
cils did not heed the mayor's call for
a special meeting on Monday not only
made tho velo effective, hut also de
bat red councils from again meeting to
jke action on the mayor's action. The
concensus of opinion, however, is that
councils are ct fire to act and can
come together at any time hence to
consider the veto. The Act of ln,
under which this city operates, speci
fics that the maor has fifteen ilajs
from the time that 11 measure Is pie
sentcd to him in which to nppiovo or
veto the same. The mayor received the
resolution awarding the contract on
Wcdnwulay last, and accordingly had
fifteen days from that date In which
to act on the resolution. He elected to
veto the measure, nnd so informtd
councils In n letter, which also called
for n special joint session. Councils did
meet Monday night, hut this cliciini
slance, the general opinion says, docs
militate against the councilnien meet
ing at any time that they may elect to
consider the veto. There was n ques
tion, or doubt, as to whether the fifteen
do.s pi escribed by the net meant fif
teen days from the time the resolution
passed councils, or fifteen days f 10111
the day the mayor received the icso
lutlon. If It meant the former, then
the limit expired Monday night, and
the failure of the councilnien to meet
could be Interpreted that they acqui
esced In the mayor's eto and that It
was effective. The act says spcclllc.illy
that It Is fifteen days from the day the
icsolutlor. was piesented to the mnyor,
which would be fifteen dnys Horn last
Wednesday. In the face of this, It was
pointed out to The Tilhune that coun
cils are free to act on the oto when
It suits their convenience.
Another phae pointed out to The
Tilhune was the question as to whether
or not the resolution should have been
sent to the mayor. It Is suggested that
the icsoltitlon awarding the contract
was not legislative, meiely ministerial,
and that In such cases the act .speci
fies that theie is no necessity tor a
resolution of this ohaiactcr going to
the mayor.
A hove is the gist of the opinions ob
tained by The Tribune, and which
would indicate that the matter of sus
taining or lejcctlng the veto still lests
with councils.

MENTION OF MEN
BEFORE THE PUBLIC EYE
It must be encouraging to a young
man, who Is ambitious and Just start
ing on his public career, to know that
his advice Is appreciated and acted on
by his associates who are older In
years and exerlence than he. This Is
ttue of Hnny Williams, secietary of
the Carbondale poor board.
Mr. Williams is a young man, con
siderably younger than Is to be found
In public bodies, but his experience so
far indicates that his years aie no
drawback to his chances of success. It
need hardly be mentioned thnt there
aie times when the poor board has
flights which make It necessary for a
cool and collected head to Interpose,
and It Is here where Mr. Williams
shows his ability and wisdom as an ad
viser. This he does unfailingly, and
even though some of the members feel
disponed to net to the contrary, they
give way to his counsel, thereby at
testing this young man's influence In
the affairs of the hoard.
Mr. Williams has many pleasing per
sonal qualities, and conspicuous among
these Is his obliging spirit, to which
everybody who is brought In contact
with him testify. Mr. Williams Is em
ployed In the ofllces of Supeilntendent
Manvllle, of the Delawnie and Hudson,
where he has earned the utmost re
spect and confidence of his associates.
Another young man who Is an Im
portant factor in the organizations to
which he belongs Is Bert K. Durfee,
who was Installed In the ofllce of presi
dent of the local camp of the Patriotic
Order Sons of America on Monday
evening of this week.
The camp here achieved gicat results
during tho year Just ended, and accord
ing to Dlstilct President H. C. Huff
man, of Mt. Cobb, who wns the Install
ing ofllcer, It led the district. This Is
a recoid the Carbondale camp may well
feel pi oud of, for tho Scranton camps,
which aie nlwas vigoioiis and active,
belong to the district. In giving- credit
for those lesults, President Dm fee can
claim a big share. Mr. Durfee waa
master of foims last year, and this
gave him an opportunity to do more
active woik than If he held a more Im
portant office. Kven when Mr. Dm fee
hadn't the opportunity to woik in be
half of the camp, he created one, and
his Incessant labois aie to be seen In
the summing up of the year's splendid
results.
Mr. Durfee Is a machinist in the Car
bondale machine ,hops, and is also ac
tive In the Sons of Vetetans and a
allied member of the Patriotic Order
Sons of Angelica band, which Is making
quite a hit among tho people of the
town.
If theie Is any man In the city who
has earned the wannest gratitude of
a host of tiaveleis, partlculaily for
eigner, who reach this city In the o.itly
morning hours and are unable to icach
their destination befoie daylight, that
man Is Charles (Jilfllths, or "Chaille,"
as he Is familiarly called, tho night
agent at the Seventh avenue station of
the Delawaie and Hudson rallioad.
Mr. Grlfllths Is a splendid type of the
w .inn-heat tod. whole-souled, chnrltable
man, few of whom aie to be found In
positions that he occupies. The expeil
ences which come to a man occupying a
position about a railroad station, when)
he has to urn tho gauntlet of an army of
all soits of fault-finders and grumblers,
are well calculated to make him irrit
able and out of patience, hut Mr. Gilf
flths Is happily an exception among this
clafp, and one Is always sure of a kind
woid nnd an agreeable explanation, no
matter how nun led he may be by lca
son of his work. Then nbout his treat
ment of belated travelers, who are un
acquainted with the town. Theie are
many of these, seveinl every week who
reach town on the 2 o'clock train, who
are friendless when they reach heie,
and as they are usually destined for
points up country, which cannot be
reached until morning, aie In a sad
plight. No obligation rests on Mr. Grif
fiths to care for these wayfarers, hut
to hks waim nature It would bo akin to
a crime to nun them adilft, and be
llevlng that "a little help is worth more
than a heap of pity," he provides for
their comfort and makes them at ease
until their train an Ives. If one could
see how grateful these strangcis are to
Mr. Grlfllths, he would feci, the foice
of the saying that a little kindness is
never lost.
Mr. Grlfllths Is also a capital story
teller, and he keeps so close to nature
In Lis recitals that there's a heap of
genuine humor In what he says. Mr.
Grlfllths. it scarcely needs to be added,
stands high In the estimation of his
employers by reason of his fidelity and
conscientiousness and his friendly at
titude towards everybody,
Assistant Postmaster John M. Nealon
Is another person occupying a public
position who has btior.gly intrenched
himself In the good feelings of the pei
hotis with whom hi& duties bring him
In dally contact.
Mr. Nealon Is among the modest and
unassuming-, his manner is entirely de
void of frills, and this, coupled with his
sincerity of purpose, makes him a
favorite wherever ho appears. His
pleasant face at the general delivery
window of the postnftlce Is an assur
ance of a warm greeting nnd the .nost
considerate of attention.
Mr. Nealon understands his work
from A to '., which he does without
any brass band accompaniment to pro
claim his ability. The mall service of
the Carbondale postofTico Is of the
highest efllclency, and it could not be
otherwise with men of Mr. Nealon's
calibre associated with the work.

WINAN HULL'S STAY.
Scene at tho Delaware and Hudson
Station During tho Timo H Re
mained in Carbondale Hearing to
Tako Place Tomorrow.
Wlnans Hull, the accused slayer of
Edward Schoonover, was In this city
nbout twenty minutes yesterday morn
ing, while waiting for the train that
was to take him to Honesdale, where
he Is to stand trial for tho crime of
which he Is accused.
Thcto was quite an assemblage at the
Seventh nvenue station when Hull
alighted, handcuffed and In charge of
Sheriff Armbrustcr, of Honesdale, and
Constable Edwaid Neary, of this city.
Hull showed the unconcern that Is
characteristic, of him, and puffed away
quite contentedly at the cigar which
tho sheriff gave him. There was an
affecting scene when Hull's father ap
proached him and, In apparent distress,
Inquired from Wlnans If he caused
Schoonover's death. The son did not
reply to his sorrowing parent, hut burst
Into teats. Hull's brother. Will, prior
to this, asked Wlnans if he was guilty,
promising that If ho wasn't his par
ents would aid him, but If he was
guilty, he would bo left, to his fate.
Wlnans' answer was that he was In
nocent, and that he had no knowledge
of how Schoonover met his fate.
At Honesdale there was a crowd of
several hundred persons at the depot.
Hull was placed In a cab and, with the
sheriff nnd constable on either side, he
was driven to tho county Jail, wheie
he was imprisoned in tho cell that wns
occupied by MeCabe, who was hanged
fourteen years ago.
The authorities have arranged for a
hearing on Thursday moinlng. Con
stable Neary will today servo subpoe
nas on tho persons of this city who saw
Schoonovei's body the day it was
found.

JERAIYN AND MAYFIELD.
Tho Jermyn school board held their
adjourned meeting last evening. By
nn unfortunate oversight the secretnry
failed to read the application of a
young lady who had applied for the
position of teacher. The oversight
was discovered after half of tho teach
ers had been elected nnd assigned to
their rooms. Mr. Crawford then want
ed the election of tho six teachers re
considered so that the application of
the tenchcr referred to might have a
fair chnnce, but Chairman Hunter said
the teachers up to that point had been
fairly elected and he could not grant
Mr. Crawford's suggestion. The regu
lar order of business wns then dls
pensed with and the application read.
The remainder of the teachers wero
elected and assigned their rooms. Mr.
Crawford then moved that the whole
election be reconsidered, He said ho
desired this because of tho fact that
an Injustice had been done the nppll
ennt whose application had not been
read when the others were. Secretary
Depow, who had made the regrettable
mistake, seconded the motion because
of that fact, but Chairman Hunter re.
fused to entertain it, and after a few
minutes' heated discussion the matter
dropped. Applications wore road from
Misses Florence Colwell.Jcnnle E. Bat
