as follows :
To the Itonornbie D. J. Waller. Jr., Smif.rin
tendeitt of Public Instruction, IlarrUhurg,
ra.
Sin: Wo, tho undersigned members of
tho School Board, and citizens of tho school
district of tho borough of Shenandoah in tho
comity of Schuylkill and stato of Pcnnsyl
vania, feeling a just prido in tho excellence
of our Echools and believing that their prosed
vatlon is a matter of great importance to tho
community, respectfully set fortli tho fol.
lowing objections to tho issuing! of a com
mission, to M. P. Whitaker as borough super
intendent of schools, to which position ho
was elected by tho School Board of tho dis
trict on Tuesday, Hay 2d, 1893, viz:
First. Wo bciievo tho said M. 1'. Whitaker
is not duly qualified to discharge tho duties of
borough superintendent of schools to which
ollico ho was elected.
Second, Tho certificate held by tho said M,
P. Whitaker qualifies him with one exception
to teadi tho common branches only.
Third, In .addition to tho branches
enumerated iu'the certificate of tho said M.
P. Whitaker tho directors of tho said district
require that the following studies be pursued,
viz: geometry, trigonometry, algebra,
chemistry, general history, civil government,
latin, rhetoric, English literature, botany,
vocal music and drawing.
Fourth, We boliovo that tho said M. P,
Whitaker is not qualified to teach or has ex
perience' to teach any of tho additional
branches and is therefore not qualified or
competent to superintend instruction In tho
same. '
Fifth. Tho cxrerienco of tho said M. P.
Whitaker has bcon derived solely from lahor
ill schools of low grado and in subordinate
positions; ho lacks administrative ability and
is weak as a disciplinarian; nor do wo believo
that consideriug'thc additional fact that 43 of
tho -18 teachers constituting our present
corps hold normal diplomas, thus outranking
him in tho matter of certified qualifications,
bo could command that; degree of respect
requisite for efllcieney in tho position of
borough superintendent of the schools.
o, tucrcioro, respcctiully urge you, on
behalf of ourselves and tho said district to
mako investigation in tho manner p'rovided
by law into the fitness and qualifications
possessed by tho said M. P. Whitaker to
discharge tho.dutiea, of borough superintend
ent of schools in said district and withhold
tho granting of a commission if tho above
objections bo sustained.

MEETING of Watkin
Waters' Post, No. 1-lG,
G. A. II., last evening
was made a very on
joyablo reunion of tho
"boys" who woro tho
bluoin tho GO's. Tho
reunion was occasioned
by a visit of Assistant
Inspecting Ofllcer Goo.
F. Abbott, of Port Car
bon, and delegations
from Posts, 23, Pottsvlllo ; 43, Ashland, and
121. Oirnrdville. Amoncr tho visitois wore
Past Commander, Isaac B. Rich; Senior Vico
Commander, .T, M. Madison; Commissioner E.
E. Itccd, of Post 23, tho veteran Joel Metz,
W. G. Groff, Levi Knspp and Evor T. Jouee,
of Post -13, and Alexander Bcnnic. of Post
121. The members of tho homo Post turnod
out strong and tho hall was comfortably
filled.
Upon making tho inspection Assistant
Abbott reported that ho found everything hi
first class order and complimented tho oltlcers
and membors of tho Post on its ofllciency and
general appearance.
Under the head of "Good of tho Army"
Commander Boyer called upon tho visitors
for remarks and thoy responded very graco
fully. Before closing his address Mr. Abbott
said there should always bo tho best feeling
between tho comrades of all Posts.
This brought Commander Boyer to his feet,
who, 111 calling upon Past Commander Rich
of Gowcn Post, Pottsvillc, for an address,
stated that over since tho celebration of
Grand Army Day in this town much coldness
seemed to exist in tho relations between Mr.
Klch's Post and tho town organization; that
thcro must havo been some misunderstand
ing somewhere nud "for tho good of tho
Araiy" and tlio peaco of all in tho future, he
hoped Past Commander Kich would try and
throw oil upon the troubled waters and havo
peace and harmony reign onco more ovor tho
relations of tho two Posts.
Mr. Rich is a happy and intensely interest
ing speaker. Ho fully explained tho troublo
and said it aroso through a misunderstanding
occasioned by falsehoods of somo malicious
parties. He wanted tho hatchet buried,
handle and all ; tho members of tho Grand
Army of tho Republic aro 0110 body, they
fought for ono cause, and they should live
and dio as comrades of tho greatest order in
the country. Mr. Rich's remarks wore so
effective that tho bloody chasm was bridged
and tho instrument of torture was buried
under a great depth of applause and cries of
approbation.
Comrades Morgan, Daddow, Mangam and
others Bpoke, after which a sumptuous lunch
was served In tho hall, having been, prepared
in tho aqto-room. Hot cotl'ee, sandwiches,
etc., werq served uuder tho direction of Mrs.
Joseph Daddow, Mrs. David Morgan and
Comrades Daddow and Loho, who wore
voted excellent caterers and received the
hearty acknowledgements of both tho home
and visiting members.
After tho repast a camp flro was formed
with Past Cqmmauder Rich as master of
ceremonies. Comrade Kuapp, of Yatesville,
was first called upon and ho responded with

ANOTHER SCARE.
Timid l'cnple uf the First Ward Jlxcltetl
A eh In,
Many residents of tlio First ward became
very much alarmed again last night; over tho
condition of the Wator " Company's dam.
Thoy feared the heavy ralu would oause a
disastrous prossuro upon tlio breastwork of
tho dam and many of them sought accom
modations for tho night with friends In other
parts. Their alarm was not caused,, by shots
or other falso warnings.
Unfortunately thcro are somo residents of
tho ward who are so timid that no amount of
reasoning can assure them of their safety and
their continual nervousness works with bad
effect upon tho less timid with tho result that
If a boy shouts on tho street there is a gen
eral stampede.
Thcro is no danger of tho brook nt tho dam
becoming worso thau it Is. Tho wator com
pany has twenty-flvo men employed night
and day digging ditchos and making other
arrangements To' draining tho affected dam
and tbo one nbOvo it, so that workmen can
work at tho damaged breastwork in safety
and repair it.
Tho water company officials give positive
assurance that thcro is no danger of a flood.
