Daily bank balances on general
school funds will earn interest for the
district during tho ensuing year, it is
understood, despite tho fact that the
board last evening by a vote of 6 to 2
refused to adopt the special committee
report on the subject. Official con
firmation of the detailed plan is lack
ing. but it is understood that an ar
rangement is now being perfected
whereby the savings institutions that
will hold the school district funds
next year will pay at least 2 per cent,
interest on the dally balances.

by Chairman Werner authorized the
designation of one bank to serve as a

STRIPS SI FROM
MOTHER TIME AFTER
TIME TO SAVE CHILD
Brave Fight of Mrs. Anna Nurich
Will Soon Be Over Say
Doctors
GIRL WAS TERRIBLY BURNED
Medical Experts Found Grafting
Only Measure That Could Re
store Her to Health
Four times during the past year Mrs.
Anna Nurick, 1531 Fulton street, has
suffered the pain of having skin
stripped from her body that her
burned child might live. But still her
patient suffering is not enough, and
soon, for the fifth time, Mrs. Nurick
will have to undergo another opera
tion, when several inches of her skin
will again be taken and grafted upon
the wounds of the child.
Martha Nurick, who is 6 years old,
was played with a lighted candle about
a year ago at her home when the ac
cident occurred. The child was taken
to the Harrisburg Hospital, where she
lay for many months slowly strug
ling back to life. Doctors at the hos
pital believed that the child's recov
ery would be hastened if she could
be treated by the noted skin specialists
at Jefferson, and so she was sent to
the Philadelphia institution.
The skin that was stripped from
the mother's back and arms was ap
plied to parts of Martha's body
where ttie llames had been most cruel.
The child's condition was much im
proved, but yesterday the doctors at
Jefferson hospital decided that an-
I other portion of new skin must be at
tached to the child's body in order to
assure its recovery.
While Mrs. Nurick has undergone
these painful operations, slie savs her
j own physical sufferings are lost in
the joyful knowledge that the burned
child is going to recover.

quickly to descend again. He fired
200 of his 500 cartridges yesterdav,
and besides wounding a large number

pictures in the church.
This morning he shouted from the
steeple, "It is a good thing you let me
sleep during the night. Now I have

Long lines of pickets, men and

workmen were compelled to pass to
reach the shops. Saloons were open
but were not beinpr patronized, striko
