RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED I J.sneral Danl.l II. Hulling nnilnri.il for Governor and Hon. John It. Robinson for LLutenant-Oovernor The Might Hoar Sjst.m of Labor ICecouiinemleil. In opening tho convention of the First Legislative district in Bobbins' opera house, yesterday afternoon, County Clioir- man W. J. Whltchouso said that it was nothing more than proper thnt there should bo a contest in the convention. A contest was indicative of interest in the affairs of the party, but he hoped that should tho delegates have a contest there would be no anger dlsnlnved and nothing would be done to disturb the harmony of the party, rue reraarKs were ueartny applauded. Contrary to expectations there were but three names put in the Held for stato delegate. For some reason not made Known tue names oi i. 11. i. ijyon. iw .. I). B. Kline or William II. Lewis were not presented. They had been reported as being candidates and were looked up m as such up to tne oponing oi tne conveu tion. As a whole the convention was a very Harmonious auatr it was expected mat there would be a wrangle when the basis ot representation would be taken up, but It tailed to materialize, it was cut ou by Chairman Davenport's onnouncement that the new county rules would be taken ns the basis of representation. This gave Shenandoah twenty votes, nn increase or eight on what it nao in tue last conven tion. The committee on resolutions had quite a time deciding on a report and several delegates became quite impatient over the delay. They urged tho chairman to pro ceed with business several times ami mat official found some dlfliculty in pacifying them until the committee reported. The resolutions presented were follows : We herobv reaffirm our devotion to the principles ot the ttepuuiican pnrty and pledge our uniieu anuunuivideu support to the candidates who may be nominated at the coming stnte convention and ask the co-operation of all good citizens to assist in ctinnging mo ticpiornuie condi tion thnt now exists, believing that the restoration of the Republican party Into power will revive tho business interests and re-establish confidence thioughout the land. Itesolvod, Thas the delegate elected to day to represent us in the coming conven tion shall cast his vote for Daniel II. Hastings for Governor nnd John 11. Rob iuson for Lieutenant-Governor and shall use all honorable means In his power to further their interests. Resolved, That in view of the contest lor the various nominations to be lined by the coming state convention, and believ ing that tho delegate who may bo this day elected to represent this district in the state conventiou will vote and labor in accordance with the Interest of the dis trict, we deem it inadvisable to endorse nny candidate tor state omce outside the choice of the conventiou for Governor nnd Lieutenant-Governor. Kesolved. That we recommend the adoption by tho stato convention of the e eiit-nour system oi labor in mis state. Resolved. That we ask that this reso lution be made a part of the platform this fall and thnt the resolution bliall be submitted to the voters of the state for adoption or rejection. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Objection was raised to the right ot II. C. Engle and James McLaren to seats in the convention on the ground that thev had not besn elected either delegate or alternate, out were present merely by annointmentof the delegates elected. The chairman overruled the objection on the ground that tue convention Had adopted the list and no objection was made at that time. The convention was attended by almost everv Republican candidate for office in the county and after tho close of the meeting groups of politicians gathered on the pavements and discussed the approach ing enrnpatgn.

I happened In the bnke shop of one of tho lending bakers in town the other day, and he informed me thnt the blending of flours is a recoguized nnd important business, carried on chlelly by those who make a specially of furnishing Hour to bakers. This particular baker, however, usually does bis own mixing. The blenders use n considerable quality of first-class flour, and with it at least two inferior grades. In this way the peculiar features of baker's bread are obtained at least expense. ... It hns been stated authoritatively that It was understood between tho water com- mltteo or the Borough Council nnd the contractors for tho new water works that iu the employment of men iu tho con struction of the sauie preference would bo given to tnxpoycrs and citizens of the town. This sounds very good on paper. B it tho grent trouble is the contractors are not carrying out their part either in a:cordance with tho spirit or letter of the agreement. It Is true a number of citi zens nre working on the works, nnd it is equilly true that a number have applied anil been refused. I noticed two men op- plv to the contractor one morning this week for work, nnd were told by thnt in dividual that there was no work. A few minutes later two men of a different nn tionality, nnd who. I am positive, pay no taxes, npplicd for work anil were Im mediately given a pick nnd shovel with out question. I have no fault to find with the mnnncr In which the contractor is doing his work, but I do think.he is hardly treating tho people from whom ho is receiving his pay by discriminating against home labor. Girls, here's n pointer for you. An Alabama Judge has latelT decided that a man who goes to see n girl twice a week. nnd tnkes her to places of amusement, etc., Is legally engaged to her whether he says anything nbout marriage or not, and she may recover in a suit lor Drench or promise. I have several young men In my mind, who have burnt the midnight oil of their best girl's papa for a number of years, who arc liable to breach of promise suits being entered against them. Judge Bregy. of Philadelphia, has net an exnmple that could be introduced into this county by the Judges nt Pottsville with good results. This particular judge rcitised to grant n charter to a society with a Jnw-breakimr forelun name. He snld n charter could issue to citizens only, nnd nny foreign organization whose title nnd name does not appear in Knglish, so thnt the purposes of tho same may be understood, would In future be refused incorporation. The issuing of charters to the societies in question, soma of which no doubt have evil designs oraroof an Anarchistic nature, has been too numer ous, especially in Schuylkill county, and tue caning oi n unit uns come none too soon. The Inngungo of this country is Knglish, nnd will continue to' be So. A knowledce of the lnniruaire of till country is essential to n knowledge of Its Institutions. Millionsof dollars are spent nnnnaliy in I'ennsyivanln on tne public schools, nnd one grent object of the expenditure is to train the foreign-born in tho Knowledge ot English, it they want the privilege of citizenship, they should nccept the langungo of citizens, and thnt is Knulish. It is nn Impudence. to say the least, for men to go into our courts and nsk them to exercise their authority to perpetuate this sort of thing. On .Tiilv 1t n now srsfptn nf mnnov order will co into effect, nnd it is ex pected to be the most satisfactory device yet tried lor sending money through the mails cheaply and safely. Orders for any sums below $2.50 will cost only 3 cents, and the rate Is soslowly advanced that an order for J100 will co-it only 30 cents. In the last few years the Government has handled nearly all the small money orders a business which is unprofitable; while the express companies have secured most of the large money orders, on which there is some profit, because their rates nre lower. Hereafter the advantage will be on the side of the Government. Under the new system the postnl note will not be issued. 11KX. Devilled crabs, fresh and rich, at Mr Elhenny's. SCHUYLKILL. IN THE WEST.

A regular meeting ot tho School Hoard was held last evening with Messrs. Conry, O'Henrn, Lynch, Davenport, Trezlse, Htirko, Mauley, Gallagher, Uovltt, Haima nnd Muldoon present. The meeting was n short one. It was decided to replenish the treasury by borrowing $3,000. As the present is the last month of the tlscal year the board has decided to hold several adjourned meetings for general business, the first next Monday evening. The new board will bo organized on the llrst Monday of June. Superintendent Whltaker presented the following report : Term enrolment boys. 13TS; girls, 1488; total, 281(1; monthly enrolment boys, 1090; girls, 1251; total, 2341; nverngo daily attendance boys, 824; girls, ill"; totnl, ii 1 1; percentage oi attendance boys, 84; girls, 82; total, 83; pupils present every session, 340; visits by citizens, 244; by di rectors, i-'. A comparison ot the nttendnnce for tho month with that of the corresponding month of last term shows that, although the monthly enrolment Is 38 more the average dally nttendnnce is 1U8 less, and the percentnge is 8 less. This shows how seriously tho attendance has been nllected uy our eniorcing ot mo vaccination rules. These rules have been strictly carried out. The time allowed pupils to get vaccinated expired April 10th and on that date 230 pupils were excluded from school be cause they hod not complied with the rules. There nro, at this dote, 72 pupils who refuse to get vaccinated and prob ably, altogether, 150 out of school on this account. Iu the Shenandoah IlKUALD of April 20th nn item nppeorcu wuicu ennrgeu, tirst : that a teacher had locked three pupils in tier room uurinir the dinner intermission as punishment : nnd. second: that other teachers have resorted to this menus of punishment. I have found upon Investi gation that both of these charges are false. Xoue of our teachers have resorted to such means of punishment. On or nbout April Kith n teacher had occasion to nunish three boys. The punishment applied was thnt they should remain in school after the morning session nnd write 100 word-. Alter the school hnd been dismissed the teacher reduced tho number of words to B0 and went to dinner, nftcr telling tho boys to hurry nnd complete th ir work nnd go home. Tho boys disobeyed her iiiHii iiuLiuns mm ri'iiuiiuuu ill un til the Janitor had locked tho build lug. With this little occurrence as a basis tho Hkkald's sensational item was worked up. It Is verv uniust nnd unfair to our teachers and lo our schools to have little incidents magnified, twisted into sensational charges nnd spread out before tho nenernl public throuuh the press. Whatever niuy have been tho motive Pack oi this nttocK tho attack itself is so manifestly unjust and un lounueu that it deserves to be condemned Lobster salad fresh, and toothsome, at Mccinenny s caie. r CONFERENCE ORGANIZED.
