" OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS ATTENDANCE BIDS FAIR TO BE VERY LARGE. Tho Number of Pupils Who Will Attend tho High School Will Trobably Exceed by Neatly 200 the Number Who Attended Last Year Three New Kindergartens to Be Opened Number of Chlldten in the City Between the Ages of 0 and 10 Years. The attendance at the public schools during the coming school year, which opens next Tuesday morning, pioni Ibcr to be the largest In the history of the city. It Is expected that the at tendance at the High Hi'hool alone will be nearly 200 In excess of the attetid ui"e Iant year. The only new schools which nie to be opened nt the beginning of the year are a two-room annex In the Tenth ward and an additional room on Couit street. The former two rooms nie to be opened In old No. fi srhool to accommodate the ovettlow from No. 3S rchool, while the latter room Is to be opened In n building In which one room has been In use for some time ns an annex to No. 21 school. The full kindergarten nysleni, which came under the supervision of the school boaid, nearly two years ago, Is being rapidly extended to nil pints of the city. Three new kindergartens will be opened this yeat In addition to the four which have been opened during til past two years. The new kindergartens will be lo cated In No. 2 school in tho Twelfth nurd. In old No. 5 school In the Tenth ward, and in No. 9 school in the Sev enth wattl. The other kindergartens are located In the i:ighth, Thirteenth, Fourth and Twentieth wards. It will be hard to tell ,he peicen tnge of increased attendance at the High school until the opening day, but it is believed that there will be at least 150 nnd probably 200 moie pupils, than last year. There are over 100 more (Iinmmar A certificates of nil mlsrion to the High school than there were last year. So assured at the menih?is of the high and training committee that the attendance will 'be increased that they have ordeied the removal of the training school to No, lti school, in the Fourteenth ward. The changes in the teaching force In the several schools will be very slight and tho number of new bench ers very small. It will be necsary to engage two or peihaps thtee new teachers for the High school, hut no apoplntments will be made until after the opening.

It seeniH a sttange cnlntidrnve that It was Patrolman Feeney who was chosen for the poMtlon' made open by the refusal of Patiolmnn M. J. Walsh to accept the lieutenancy. Walsh and Foeney worked together for years, and have been Inseparable In the public eye. Walsh nnd Feeney were the brace of patrolmen assigned to the South Wash ington avenue beat for eats, and when on the afternoon shift wete gen erally seeh pacing adjoining bents In the central .city. The new lieuten ant Is well qualllled, In every way, for the responsible post allotted him. Tall, well knit anil nf hardy build, be Is a splendid man physically, and cool headed and calm by temperament, he Is the iisses,sor of admirable qualifi cations for the careful solution of the many dllllctllties anil emergencies which nrlce In the eouri-o of a night's duty. It Is seldom that a young man who linn enteied the rallioad business gains .such nn enviable position in so short a time ns has John K. Welsh, the traveling passenger nnd freight ngent of the Ontario and Western railroad. Only a few yeaie ago Mr. Welsh was tho "star" operator of the Western I'nlon Telegraph company In this city, nnd since bis entry Into rjllroad circles his progress has been remarkably fast. When he enteied the employ of the Ontario nnd Wcsteim l'nllroad com pany it was ns a clerk to Mr. Fllt eroft, ho wns then In charge of the company's business nt the Scranton terminal, t'pon the latter's retirement, Mr. Welsh succeeded to bis piesent position, nnd has since established a record for himself thetcln. There bns been a marked inicrcnse- In the freight nnd passenger business of the com pany under bis management, nnd his success Is dlicctly attributable to a strict application to duty, well directed work, and a personal affability that chnracterlzes him as a ft lend whose friendship Is worth something. To be a member of the Convention of Leaders among1 tho Managera and Agents of The Fidelity Mutual Life In surance company Is nn honor which seldom falls to a new man In that line of business, yet It Is a pleasure to note that David W. Davis, the company's Scranton repiescntatlve, has been chosen, nnd that be has also nttalned the position of general agent in this district within a year's time. Mr. Davis joined the company's forces Inst September, and Inside of ten months made a reputation as nn under writer that Is seldom, If ever, equalled by a new beginner. The distinction he has won entitles him to a week's stay in Philadelphia as a guest of the com pany, nnd another week nt Hotel Den nls, at Atlantic City, beginning today and lasting until September 7. Mr, Davis was for many years one of the leading minstrel soloists In the profession, nnd has had a varied ex perience In the theatrical business. He possesses a rich baritone voice of high range and quality, and is one of the most popular members of the William Connell Anthracite Glee club. He leaves this momlntc for Philadelphia. Of the many sturdy young athletes who have won laurels for themselves and this city on the base ball diamond or foot ball gridiron, one of the latest to distinguish himself Is Hlchard F. Nallln, of South Scranton. This young man joined the Norrls town seml-piofesslonal team late last week, and In the game played by his nine a week ago Saturday with another aggregation of fast 'semis" the Scran ton boy's wotk bntli In the Held and at bat was mentioned as features In the press dispatches. Nallln left Villa Nova college In 1000. after having established for himself an enviable record there ns nn nll arouud athlete. He captained the foot ball team in liiOO, playing end anil half-back, nnd was first baseman of the base ball team. After the college season was over he played with the Chester team, one ot the fastest semi professional nines In the country. That this latter stntement Is no Idle assertion Is given pretty nmple proof bv the fact that at the end of tho Na tional league season of 1000 the t'hes teis defeated Shettsllne's Philadelphia team. Young Townsend pitched for Chester and wns Immediately signed by the Philadelphia manager. He Is now twirling good ball for the Quak ers. The many friends of Thomas K. Sliamp, former Tribune agent at ttlen- bum, Pa., will be pleased to learn of his rapid advancement In the 1'nlted States signal service.
