Superintendent Whitaker's Report
on the School Attendances
For the Past Month.
FLAGS MUST BE DISPLAYED
SOME OF THE SCHOOLS NOT SUPPLIED
WITH THE EMBLEM AND IT IS
CORNERED IN OTHERS.
The Board Has Decided to Borrow Suffi
cient Money to Tide Them Over
Until They Receive the
Appropriations.
A regular meeting of tbe School Board
was neld last evening in tne Directors'
room, on South West Btreet, with Messrs.
'onry, Hanna, Trezlse, Devltt, Lynch,
Hooks, Burke, Baugh, Mauley, Morgan
and Stanton In attendance. The meeting
was a short one, the most ot It having
been considered in committee, and there
being no delay on the part of the board
in acting on the reports of the committees.
Superintendent Whltaker made his- re
port for the past month, showing the fol
lowing statistics on the day school at
tendances: Term enrolment Boys, 1817:
girls, 1483; total, 2,800. Monthly enrol
mentBoys, 1174;girli, 1327; total, 2501.
Average dally attendance Boys, 971 j
girls, 1071 ; total, 2042. Percentage of at
tendance Boys, 87; girls, 85; total, 80.
Number of pupils present every session,
230. Visits by Directors, 29; by citizenB, 105.
The following statistics on evening
schools were also presented: Term enrol
mont, 514; monthly enrolment, 334 ; aver
age nlgntly attendance, sktj; percentage
of attendance, 79; present every night,
54; visits by citizens, 39; by Directors, 5.
Comparing tbe statistics of the da;
Bchools with the previous month a falling
off of 88 is found in the average dally
attendance, 0 in the percentage of attend
ance, and a decrease ot 513 in the number
of pupils present at every sjbsIou. This
was caused by the severity of the weather,
and with that exception the attendanse
was excellent. On the very stormy days
only ten per cent, of the pupils were in
attendance at the schools.
Mr. Morgan said the attendance at tbe
evening schools was very good and Bug
gested that the term be extended. The
term ends on the 21st Inst. Several mem
hers Bald that previous experience hail
shown that the attendance falls off cm
slderable towards the opening of spring,
and no action was taken.
Mr. TrezUe reported In behalf of the
finance committee that a loan of 2,503
would be required to tide the Board ov
until tbe annual state appropriation U
received. The proper officers were author
ized to make the loans.
Mr. Trezlse bIbo reported in behalf of
the finance committee that in consulta
tiou with the five ward assessors it bad
been decided to allow them to hire an
interpreter to help them make the tri
ennial assessment. Each assessor will be
allowed one Interpreter at $3 per night
for the following service : First ward,
ten nights ; Second ward, five ; Third
ward, seven ; Fourth ward, seven ; Fifth
ward, eight.
Mr. Trezlse called attention to the fact
that many of the schools are not supplied
with the American flag and in some
schools the flags are stored away in cor
ners. The committee on supplies was in
structed to look into the matter

hart was intoxicated at the time and no
roason Is given lor his action. He was
arrested this morning and will he given a
hearing to-night.

OUR P0TTSVILLE LETTER. i
Interesting; Subjects From a County Scat
Standpoint.
Special IIeiiai.d correspondence
Pottsville, March C Criminal Court
drew ninny north-of-the-mountaln people
to the county seat this week. It will re
quire the whole of two weekB to dispose of
the large number of CRBes. The proba
Uillties ure that many of these cases will
nave to go over until the next term. The
majority of the cases are from north of
the mountain, as usual. Much complaint
is heard here because of the heavy expense
brought about by the litigations bstwecn
the Huns and Poles of the big towns of
Shenandoah and Mahanoy City, and to a
great number it would be a pleasing
feature of the new county project if thee
towns were included as part of the new
county of Quay. Were such to be the
case, however, these people would soon
realize that it was a grievous mistake.
Without Shenandoah and Mahanoy City
111 igations there would be little use for
the services of two Judges, much less the
four, that this county is now entitled to
under tbe new apportionment.
After the Seltzer-Brumm case has been
nettled, it is likely that the quo warranto
proceedings asked by Constable Thomas
Tosh to ouBt Sheriff Scott will be definitely
settled by the District Attorney. It does
not look, at this writing, very favorable
for the latter official doing anything In
the matter. He inclines to the opinion
that action should be taken through the
Attorney General's office, direct.
The Chronicle is about to issue au in
dustrial edition of its paper and promises
to furnUh a revelation in journalism.
Hard times do not seem to Interfere
with the advertising spirit of our mer
chants. Instead of complaining they
drum up business by a liberal use of
printer's Ink, and they are meeting with
success.
The foreclosure proceedings against the
jnuaueipniu s Heading railroaa was no
surprise to our people. It will have a
good effect in the long run. This valuable
railroad property should havo been un
loaded years ago and a new start made.
The delay has only resulted in a constant
Increase of debt and many people have
lost heavily through their .Investments in
the' company. With a fresh start and
businessmen of the calibre of John Wana
maker at the helm the cotporation will In
time be turned into a dividend paying
channel. Too much money has been
wasted in law suits una in sinecures pro
vided for favorites. The amount paid in
salaries for the receivers is adiscouraglug
Item in itself. A rumor that meets with
some consideration is to the effect that the
foreclosure will ultimately result In the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company getting
control.
Many years have elapsed since the
veterans of tbe war residing in this county
have had a reunion and there is come
talk of getting tbem together again some
time this year. Thirty years have elapsed
since the close of the war and the time
for most of the survivors to remain on
earth is limited. One more reunion would
delight tbe hearts of many of the "vets"
and 1 would like to see some step taken
to bring it about, A good time ought to
be given these brave men and Pottsville
Is the place in which to have them
assemble.

One thing shown by the application of
Mr. Fuhrman to throw the Kaier Brew

Is that the brewing of malt liquors affords
immense profit. The movement was

dlclous and economical management,
The outcome will be closely watched.
Pottsville will secure what It la much

Tumbling Iiun will be the fcene of
much gayety and pleasure this year and
the Traction Company expects to do an
Immense business. It will be the aim of
tbe company to have plenty drawing
cards.
There can be no denial ot the assertion
that M. M. Burke, Esq., tbe rising young
attorney of Shenandoah, will very likely
secure the Democratic nomination for
District Attorney this year. He is making
a success of his practice und uo one work1
harder, or looks utter the Interests of his
clients more olotely than .he does, Ab
District Attorney he would be a success
and the county would gain by hiseconom
leal methods. 1 do not think Mr. Burk
is making a personal fight -for the noml
nation, but I. know his friends, who are
legion, are doing good work for hiin.'

MMjp BILL
The State Senate Asked to Make
Borough and Township
Offices Elective.
PRESENTED YESTERDAY !
IF IT IS PASSED CLERKS, SOLICITORS
AND TREASURERS WILL BE
ELECTED FOR THREE YEARS.
The Police Department Will Likely
Come Under Civil Service Rules
and Avoid Future
Complications.
Senator J. J. Coyle, of Mahauoy City,
yesterday Introduced at Harrisburg a bill
authorizing all boroughs and townships
n tbe state to elect town clerks, borough
supervisors and borough treasurers for
three years, and fixing the compensation
for the same.
This bill was referred to with a letter
from Senator Coyle in yesterday's Herald,
and the announcement was very favor
ably received. People of all parties agree
that the bill will correct many evils and
result In the selection of better men for
office than are generally chosen at
caucuses.
This action has also caused the people
to turn their attention to legislation for
the other offices, and it is quite likely that
a special law will soon be asked to apply
to the appointment of policemen. There
Is a strong sentiment against having the
force subject to the political fluctuations
of the Borough Council. If an Act can
be passed to provide for the continuance
of a police force on something like the
civil service system general satisfaction
will be given. Almost every important
turn in the spring elections and organiza
tions of this borough during the past ten
years have hinged on the police appoint
ments, and there have been times when
excellent policemen have been turned
down in favor of men with a stronger
political pull, without reference to quali
fications. With some method of tbe kind Senator
Coyle seeks to enforce, the people will be
ablo to secure better service than they
have obtained In most cases, and such
events as accompanied tbe last organiza
tion of the Borough Council need not be
feared.
Marriages.
Announcement was made to day of the
marriage of David T. Williams, of town,
and Miss Annie C. Dreishbach, of Bran
douvllle. They were married several
months ago by Rev. D. 1. Evans, pastor of
the Welsh Baptist church, of town, and
have gone housekeeping on West Cherry
street.
William Johnson, of Lost Creek, and
Miss Aggie Balnbridge, of No. 4, were
married at Ashland last evening. Rich
nrd Taylor was the groomsman, and Miss
Kmma Frantz the bridesmaid. A num
ber of young men of town, friends of tbe
bridegroom, serenaded the couple at
their home in No. 4 last night and were
treated royally,
A Statement.
The announcement that tbe election of
Mr. T. J. Davies as Borough Treasurer
meant the transfer ot the borough funds
from the First National to tbe Merchants'
National Bank was misleading. As
matter of fact the late Borough Treasurer
kept the funds on deposit in tbe latter
bank for the past three years. The First
National Bank took no port whatever in
the late election and, while not pretending
to refuse to aooept deposits from th
borough officials, or any other souree,
will uot solicit them in a noli Ileal eleo
tlon.
