The school board met In special ses sion last night to discuss the proposed demonstration of the school children during the semi-centennial celebra tion. All the directors were present when President Hughes called tho meeting to order and announced the purpose of the special call. The proposition of the children appearing on parade was taken up and discussed at length. The opinion favoring the participating In the Jubilee celebration was unanimous, but the directors were at a loss as to how to proceed. Like councils, the school hoard was prohibited, by law, from contributing anything to the gen eral fund; the idea would have to be carried out In a way that would not conflict with tho authority and pawer of the board. Accordingly a commit tee, comprising Messrs. Kerwin, Swi gert and Gallagher, was named to de vise ways and menns and report at the next meeting of the board. ,, .Immediately after the special session 'the reporters had to withdraw, for the hoard went Into executive session to dispose of, if such be possible, the elec- .tln.of Jeqchers for the coming school year. , " It will he recalled that the board at Its last meeting becamo deadlocked over the election of a principal, and later in the same meeting there was a ' deadlock over the three or four teach ers whose names were also proposed, When It appeared that the whole corps of teachers would be embraced In the ''deadlock adjournment was taken un til last night.

DEAD COW CAUSES TROUBLE A Heap of Confusion Botweon Offi cers of Borough of Mayfield and Delawaro & Hudson Company Em ployes Ovor tho Burial of a Bovine. A cow, belonging to Steve Peyko, a Maytlcld mlnei, which was killed by a Delawaie and Hudson train late Tues day night, wns the tauso of n heap of confusion and fuss and bother In that borough yesterday. Tho ofllceis of the hoi ouch, fiom but gcps to policeman, weie on the one side, and ni rayed against them were em ployes of the Delawaie nnd Hudson company. The fit burial place of the cow, which was hurled henvenwaid to Its death by a Delaware and Hudson engine, was the stalling point of the mlsundet standing. The borough officials had a llxcd opinion that the departed'bovlne should be decently Interred outside of the borough limits, and so decreed. The rnihoad people weie equally "sot" In their opinion thnt any old place was good enough for the cow to be put out of sight, and they clung to this opinion like an unwary fly on a sheet of tangle foot. It was dining the airing of these dlffeicnt opinions that confusion Held high carnival. The boiongh officials were naturally backed up by the boi ough lesldents.nnd the latter, of course, did the most of the loud talking nnd were loudest In the exchange of compli ments. Both sides weie In a ferment of anger nnd came to the boiling point more than once. No blows weie ex changed, however, but there was plenty of pushing nnd Jolting nnd ann-Kwlng-Ing In the crowd. Finally, the boiough ofllceis tilumphcd, nnd tho desskatlng plant ii. cheated out of a carcass by tho lallioad men carting the milker away to the wood, whete It wns burled, outside of the borough limits. Theie was a quarrel, not betwien the chief parties In the short-lived flay, but It was one that grew out of the stormy exchange. A man named Hairett, whose home Is near wheic the tow lay all night, and a native by the name of Andicw Brady, who Is a well-known character about the boiough, weie the principals. Baitett piotested against the cow being allowed to lomaln tin removed, because of the stem h thnt annoyed himself and tamily, nnd some thing he said precipitated a light be tween him nnd Btndy. Both men pum melcd each other for some time and managed, by their quart el, to teed tho excitement of tho throng. Tho borough ofllceis nie wrought up over the affair, and It Is loudly hinted that suits oT some sort are likely to follow. TO INSTALL OFFICERS.

White nrsenle Is the form In which aisenlc Is taken by the peasants of Sty liti and the Tyrol. Prof. Schnllgiuber of Gaetz was tho first to call nttentlon to this piaciue In a tcpoit which n- made In 1M2 to the Austrian govern ment on the taupe of the numerous deaths from poisoning in those districts. He found th.it aiv-enle was kept In most of the houses In I'pper Styiiu under the name "hydraeh." evidently n corruption of "huttenrauch," or furnace smoke. His stntements made weie subsequent ly confirmed liom personal observation by a Dr. McClagan of Edlnbutgh, but for many years1 atteiwatd the atsenle eaters were generally disbelieved In; and It was not till ISfin thnt C.

This remains true today of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so Justly famous, Its merits are known to so many peo ple of high and low station that none hesltntes to see his name in print lerommending Peruna. The following lettero from pastora yho use Pet una speak for themselves: Rev. E. G. Smltth, pastor of tho Presbyteilnn church of Greensboro, On., writes: "My little hoy hnd been sufferlng'for some time with cntarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies hnd failed, but after taking two bottles of Peruna tho trouble almost entirely disappeared For this speclnl mnlady I consider It well nigh a specific." Rev. E. O. Smith. Rev. A. S. Vaughn, Eureka Springs, Ark,, says: "I had been prostrated by congestive chills nnd wns almost dead, as soon ns nhle to he about I com menced the use of Peruna. I took five bottles; my strength returned rapidly nnd I nm now enjoying my usual health." Rev. A. 8. Vaughn. If you do not 'derive prompt and sat isfactory results from the use of Pe runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full stntcment of your case nnd he will be pleased to give you his vnlunble advice gratis. Arlrlrns Dr. Hartman. President of 1 The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, lOhlo. fact that the sale of arsenic Is lllegil It is difficult to obtain definite Informa tion of a habit which Is kept as se ct et as possible. According to a Dr. Lorenzo, In that district the arsenic la taken fasting, usually In a cup of coffee, the first dose being minute, but Increased day by day, until it some times amounts to the enormous doso of 12 or 15 grains. He found that tho nrscnlo eaters were usually long- lived, though liable to eudden denth. They have a very fresh, youthful nppeuianco nnd nie seldom attacked by Infectious diseases. After the first dose usual symptoms of slight arsenic poisoning are evident, but these soon disappear on continuing the treatment. In the arsenic factories in Salzberg It Is stated that workmen who are not arsenic eateis soon succumb to the fumes. The manager of one of these works Informed Mr. Helsch that he had heen medically advised to eat arsenlo before taking up his position. He con sidered that no one should begin the prnctlvo before twelve years old nor nfter thirty, nnd that in any cao after fifty years of ago the dally dose should he gradually reduced, since otherwi?e sudden death would ensue. If a confirmed arsenic eater suddenly attempts to do altogether without tho drug ho immediately succumbs to the effects of arsenlo poisoning. Tho only way to oblvate ths Is gradually to ac climatize the system by reducing the dose from day to day. As another evidence of tho cumulative properties of aisenlc It Is Interesting to note that when the grave-yards In Upper Styria ate opened the bodies of the arsenlo eaters can he distinguished by their almost perfect state of preservation, due to the gradually accumulated ar senic. CAN THIS BE TP.TTEP Startling Arraignment of English Society by a Church Paper. I'rom the London Church Times It Is no uncommon thing to hear from the pulpit or elsewhere a lament over tho loweicd faith and morals of the upper clesscs; and without indulging In any sensational exageratlon, '.ve are driven by the evidence of facts to conclude that such lamentations is mstliled. Theie Is the Incienrs of conjugal In fidelity in fashionable society and th,-( callous Indifference with which It Is viewed. Theie Is the complete secular isation of Sunday with its selfish indtf feience to the rights of those who aro thereby deprived of their day of rest. Ther is a shameless coal myt for tho ordinances of the church. Quite lately we chancd .o notice In the-World an account of a fashionable luncheon party at which a member of the royal family and other "leaders of society" wero present. Tho occasion selected for this enteitalnment was Goo1 Friday. All these things, together with tho flippant nnd irreverent tone which has come to bo the distinguishing mark of the "smart set" are, of course, only tho out ward signs of the internal wither ing away of lellglon. They have he come unfortunately, mattots of notot. ety. The tone of fashionable society Is .becoming Increasingly Irreligious, and the church Is directly concerned to evangelize the "classes" no less than tha "masses." KEPT HIS WORJ). The Dudish Little Man Has a Saving Flash of Wit. From the I.nri'1i.n lit-Diti. He was a dudish little man, but ha had a loud voice, and evidently want ed every one to know what he said. He and a companion, who, be It said to his credit, seemed ashamed of the company he was in, stood In the hotel rotunda lnte Saturday night. The little, fellow, was talking about Ireland, and he said many hard things about the country and the people. A great big innn stood near by listening to the little fellow's vaporlngs. He merely smiled until the little fellow said In a very loud tone; "Show me an Irish man nnd I'll show you a coward." Then the big fellow slipped up and, touching the little fellow on the shoul der, 1-iHlcl In a Iheavy. bass voice. "What's thnt you said?" "I said show me nn Irishman and I'll show you a coward," said the little fellow, whose kfces were shaking un red him. "Well, I'm an Irishman," said tha big felolw. "You are an Irishman? Well," and a smile of Joy flitted over the little fellow's countenance as he saw a hole througn v.likh he could ctnwl, "I'm u ion aid." Norvs Like a Flat-Iron.
