the state, and their line of goods comprises everything kept In a first-class grocery
store. The stock is fresh and has been purchased at the lowest prices for cash
They make a specialty of Imported goods, and their domestic line Is of the highest
standard. The prices compare favorably with the stringent money market.
Mail orders filled promptly, and all goods delivered free of charge.
THIS WEEK-
The School Board held a meeting last
night and had a very lively session, too.
For about half an hour there was an ex
change of remarks that bubbled over
with the most striking kind of irony,
and It is doubtful If a more bitter debate
has taken place at a meeting of the board
In recent years.
The cause of the discussion was a com
plaint lodged by Mr. Robert A. Glover
that his daughter had been badly treated
by Superintendent Whltaker. Mr. Glover
was in attendance in person and stated
his charge fully and Mr. Whltaker replied
at length, and the discussion rested
between them. Here and there members
raised points of order.
The members In attendance at the meet
log were Messrs. Conry, Baugh, Trezlse,
Burke, Ogden, Hanna, Devltt, Manley,
Davenport, Morgan, Muldoon, L e, Hooks
and Stanton. Superintendent Whltaker
read his monthly report on the day and

appointed to substitute for Miss Creary
and Miss S. Dajsy Hess was appointed to
substitute for Mr. Williams. The Super
intendent recommended that these teach
ers be continued as substitutes.
Upon the conclusion of the reading of
the report Mr. Davenport arose and stated
that at a meeting of the committee on
teachers and salaries there wa considered
a complaint respecting the treatment of
one of the teachers. Mr, Davenport
stated that Miss Glover had been selected
by Mr. Williams .to substitute for him
and Mr. Whltaker took exceptions In the
case and replaced Miss Glover by the ap
polutment of Miss Hess. Mr. Davenport
said that Mr. Olover felt aggrieved over
the matter and made complaint to the
committee. After consideration of the
complaint a majority of the committee
did not feel disposed to sanction the act
of the Superintendent and felt that Miss
Glover had been wronged and the matter
ought to be made right.
Mr. It. A. Glover, the father of the
school teacher concerned In the case, was
allowed to address the board. He said
Mr. Williams engaged hU daughter to
substitute for him. Mr. Williams said ho
would try to see the Superintendent that
(Tuesday) morning before leaving and
requested Miss Glover to send word to
the Superintendent, which fcbe did. The
next morning MUs Glover sent another
notice that she had been employed as a
substitute. 0;i Wednesday morning Mr.
Whltnker called at the school aud relieved
Miss Glover, placing another young lady
In her position. Mr. Glover was evidently
very much vexed and the frame of mind
he was in can be better understood from

on the part of your Superintendent that

eyes of the school aud In the eyes of
who may ever hear of this story.

I have nothing to do with, but I complain
that he should not have done such an
who holds a certificate from the
State Normal school, and Is per
fectly well qualified. I used my
judgment in putting that teacher there
and, consequently, I have done a straight
act and any way of twisting this to make
a reflection on your daughter is not of
my doing. It Mr. Williams selected your
daughter, the fact does not carry my
approbation with it and if I have not In
other ensas taken action in regard to
teachers In the same way it does not ssy
I have no right to do It now, and you have
no right to say how I Bhall discharge my
duty as 1 a sworn official of the schools;
aud if you say I liavo cast any
reflection upon your daughter you
are mistaken. X didn't do it
with any intention of that sort. Some
body said It was on account of a difference
in the certificates. I said nothing about
that but to your daughter and if any
claim bis been brought on that account
It has been brought by herself. I know
of some reasons why I left Miss Hess there
In preference to Miss Glover, but 1 don't
think I am obliged to give all the reasons
why I made that selection. I am not sup
posed to be afraid of criticism. I am
supposed to do what is right, and that I
have done."
Mr. Glover reiterated his statement that
notices of his daughter's selection as sub
atitute by Mr. Williams had been sent to
the Superintendent and added "What I
complain of is that Mr. Whltaker has
permitted this right to place substitutes
to pass. I have not denied that right,
hut I do say he has not exercised that
right with any other substitute and that
I think that a custom in this case certainly
would have been a very fair one to have
been followed, and when Mr. Whltaker
denies that he kuew my daughter was
substituting there, he certainly knew
It when he went there and saw
her teaching that she was there. I think
the question, if it was no worse than a
mistake, was ac least a grand mistake,
because If he had promised another he
could have said 'This position Is already
filled ' I would ask In regard to his
statement, saying he didn't say to any
one else that she didn't have a permanent
certificate, are all your teachers in a
position to do teaching and substitute t"
Superintendent Whltaker again arose
and said, "I would state that it has been
the policy of the school district since lBSt),
and during my term on the School Board
I know there was a motion passed fixing
grade of certificate under which no
person would be employed to teach a day
school. Now, as to qualifications in that
respect, I found certain customs In exist
ence when 1 became Superintendent and
one of those has been a custom upon
which your complaint Is based. Teachers
were permitted to select their sub
stitutes when they were sick and
could not find the Superintendent
or would not have time to find him. So It
became a custom. Another custom was
this ; When in need of evening schools
or extra teachers the Superintendent
preceding me had been in the habit of
issuing certificates to those who leave our
High School to teaoh for the term, and
that Is how we Issue provisional certitl
cates, and that is the intention of the
certificates. I wouldn't feel justified, to
be candid, in placing a teacher holding
one of these certificates to teach three or
four months; but this is a matter for the
boardAo decide, and not for me."
Mr.Xllover : "I would like to know
whether the other certificates are better
than my daughter's, watch wbb granted
by an examination by the County Super
intendent and your own endorsement, or
have the others a better standing in the
eyes of the board t I would like to know
why this slur Is particularly thrown
against mine and no one else since the
Superintendent his been Jn office why he
should let others pass on without word
of trouble, and yet he throws Jbls insult
in the face ot my 'JW:Utei-f Tbeu,
A case of bigamy and adultery was
trltd beforo Justice T. T. Williams this
mornine. The facts of the case could
not be learned. Neither the Justice nor
the officers In charge of the case would
disclose them.
From an independent source it was
learned that Detective Amour, of this
place, and a Philadelphia detective went
to St. Nicholas this morning and arrested
one Darius Shaner on oath of the man's
wife, Lizzie.
Shaner was brought here and, after be
ing given a hearing before Justice Will
iams, furnished ?800 ball for trial at
court. The name of the woman with
whom Shaner Is charged with committing
the bigamy and adultery la withheld by
the officers.
It was learned this afternoon that the
accused man abandoned his wife and
child at Philadelphia and wont to St.
Nicholas, where he married a young girl
and there nre two children of the latter
union. The warrant was sworn out by
one George T. Hildebreudt.
