Directors Coury, Mill doon, Ogden, Dovitt, Hanna, O'ltoarn, Burke, Titmau, Gallagher, Beddall, Terzlse and Davenport wero present. Tho easy, revolving spring chairs, tho heavy Brussels carpet, great heavy nnd handsomely finished oak tables had a good effect upon tho directors. "It is n pleasuro to nieot in such a place as this," tlioy said, and sottled down to business in such a buainoss-liko wuy that adjournment was taken Bhortly after nlno o'clock. Super! ntcudcntWhitakcrmado his monthly report showing that tho schools aro in ox ccllont condition and notwithstanding a largo number of children were prevented from attending school during tho past few weeks on account of tho epidemic of measles tho avcrago daily attendance was over 2,000. Tho report for tho month of Novcmbor was as follows: Term enrolment, 2,025; monthly enrolment, 2,420; average dally attendance 2,015: avemgo perccutago of attendance, 89; prosont every session, 012; visits by citizens, 310; by directors, 3.j. Compared with tho corresponding month of last year tho report for Novembor shows tho following increase : In term enrolment, 121! in monthly enrolment, 53; in avcrago dally attendance, 01; In porccutago of attendance, 1; in uumter present at every session, Gl Tho report also showed that tho incroaso this yoar over last yoar in tho averago nightly attendance at tbo schools is 81. Secretary Uanna, ol tho text books and supplies conimitteo submitted a report show ing that up to dato the committeo has expend cd $1,121!. 3d for toxt books nnd other sup' plies to comply with the now law and an ex pcndlture of about $."00 moro will bo required to meet all tbo provisions for tho term. Mr. Ogden, of the finance committeo, made an exhaustive report in which ho showed that the balance in treasury is 10,100,02. Mr. Ogden also mado an exhaustive report as a member of the library committee. Ho said that recently nearly 1,100 new volumes were added to tho public libraay at a cost of about $1,038.02. Tho library is now tho boat public ono in Schuylkill county, both as to the number and Vhluo of tho books. There aro 3 000 volumes, or over, and aside from their intrinsic valuo aro worth $1,500. Tho committeo has been obliged to moro than double its timo In distributing books to a; e Hits. So groat has been tho demand, tho mmittco has been obliged to call in addi tional help and this has been rendered by Mosars.Burkc, Scheuhing, Britt, Conry and Lowis, of tho teachers corps. The committeo recommended that peoplo residing out of the borough be allowed to secure books from tho library upon payment of a fixed sum an nually In advance Mr. Beddall arose and stated that tho re ports submitted by Mr. Ogdon wore tho best sinco the gentleman had been serving on tbo committees and ho deserved great credit for them. President Conry also took occasion to honor Mr. Ogden by saying tho financial report was the best ho had ever heaid read beforo the board and Mr. Ogden was entitled to tho thanks of the directors. It was clear and couciso, and not only showed tho exact con dition of affairs at the present time, but served as a guide for tho board In making expenditures to the end of tho term. On motion it was decided that people residing out of the town be permitted to use the library upon payment of $2 per yoar In advance. Upon tho suggestion of Superintendent Whitakor it was decided that the schools will bo closed on the day following Christmas aud that teachers who leave town at 0:10 a. m. will bo paid for lull attendance at the teachers' county institute to be held in Pottsvllle. Tho latter action Is an excuse in advance for tho teachers who may teach the institute a little late In tho momlugs, as tho arrival of the train in Pottsvllle will uccod sadly cause them to be late. Au Invitation for the Board to co operate with the Board of Health was accepted aud the Superintendent was authorized to use discretionary power In onforolng the regula tions.

Hundred CoiiiiiiUhIoiih Will l'ilre Tills Month. Special Herald Dispatch. Wasiiwoton, Dec. 7. As over six hun. dred first and second clam post oftlce com missions expire this mouth tho Postmaster- General is besieged by friends of nearly 2, 100 applicants, each having at loast throo "In ilooontlol" friends hero, which menus that ovor 7,090 haysocdors aro at tho capital, much to thp gratification of tho hotel men, who aro reaping a rich harvest. Mr. Blesel is a pleasant gentleman and listens to all applicants patiently. It Is not belie vol ho will mako any appointments bo- fore the 15th Inst. This will givo tho now postmasters time enough to prepare their bonds, qualify and Uko ohargo on January 1st. The Shenandoah post ofiloe fight is oxcitiug considerable interest hero bemuse it is really a battle for supremacy between Congressman Rollly and Sonator Monaghau and there are a number of Schuylkill county peoplo hero. It is not a certainty that Mellot will be the lucky man. Tho Quinn party is making a strong claim and the PoetniMter General has been given to understand that Mcllet is backed by a ring which has been gettiug uoarly all tho pie. Murt. Quinn, Senator Monaghan and Ex' Senator Xing aro not novloes in tho business of securing appointments for friends. "They know where they aro at," those who i intimate witli them say. Kiug is a railroad contractor aud is well in with the Lehigh Valloy Railroad aud other corporations and, that moans a great deal Tho Postmaster-General isjlnterostcd in tho Lohigh, Is an intimate friend of President Wilbur and whatever Wilbur may say or suggost will havo somo effect, no doubt. For this reason there aro many who bolievo Quinn will bo landod in tho Shenandoah pjat office. Mlltoii Master's friends are also very san guino. They aro on the ground, too, nnd havo some excellent arguments to advance. If George Folinor, tho ex-cindidate for treasuier of Schuylkill county, is a oandidato nothing Is heard of it hero. There is a "dark horse" in tho fight and should Bissel find himself in a dilemma tho animal in tho shado may win. C. Dangerous Preparations. Alleock's Porous Plasters ia oomposod of purely vegetable Ingrodients and is absolutely harmless. It assists nature in her own efforts to heal and luvlgorate, and imparts strength to tho whole system. Many preparations contain strong chemical aud mineral sub stances which produco un injurious effect, not only upon the skin, but upon the wholo systom, although at first they seem very beneficial, on account of their powerful action aud temporary effect upon tho surfaue, When purchasing a plaster do not only ask for Alleock's, but mako sure that you get it, Brandreth's Pills are purely vegetable Youug as 'IIaml't."
