LENGTH OF TERM.
Forttar 1)1 rector* Find It a Difficult
Question to Agree Upon.
A special mooting of Foster township
school board was held Wednesday even
ing with all members present. The
president announced that the purpose
( the meeting was to take action on
he length of the term and to transact
any other business that might be
orought beforo the board.
A motion by Messrs. Doudt and
Argust to have a nine months term was
lost by these votes: For, Argust,
Doudt, Lesser; against, Ziestloft, Me-
Hugh, Kellor.
A motion by Mr. Ziestloft to make
the torin eight months was withdrawn,
and was followed by a motion for a term
of eight and one-half months, which
was voted down.
A motion by Messrs. Argust and
Doudt to have a term of nine and one
half months was nextvotod down.
A motion by Messrs. Ziestloft and
Doudt to continue the term as long as
funds will last was carried by a vote of
4 to 2, Messrs. Argust and Lesser voting
against it.
Director Doudt was authorized to con
sult tho solicitor in relation to the stop
page of taxes by tho Pond Creek Coal
Company, for which no return has been
made.
Tax Collector Lentz was present, but
the directors will look over exoneration
lists until next regular meeting
Messrs. Scott and Foeloy, map and
chart agents, were present, but no pur
chases in their lines wore made.
Praising the Play.
Copies of Buffalo papers received at
the Tribune office show that Mildred
Holland is breaking every previous
theatrical record this week In that city.
Never before In tho history of Buffalo
have such audiences turned out to wit
uoss any play as are seeing "The Bower
Behind the Throne" at the Teclt theater.
The newspapers of that city devote an
average of a column a day to the play,
and if only one-half of what is said were
true and there is no cause to doubt any
of it. the theatre-goers of Freeland will
see one oT the grandest productions ever
placed on the American stage. The
fact that s4f>o is to be paid to have Mil
dred Holland and her company appear
here is In itself a guarantee that the
play Is rar above anything heretofore
booked at the Grand.
Wedd.ng indefinitely Postponed.
A wedding which was to have taken
place at Plymouth yesterday afternoon
was postponed indefinitely because the
bride ran away before her bridal dress
was placed upon her back. At th
moment sho convinced herself she could
not marry tho man she did not love.
The bride-to-be was Miss Mary Herman
and she was to have wedded John Hora
bad who, with his groomsman and
friends, arrived at the house only to lind
that the girl had fled a few minutes
before.
Miss Herman's parents suspected that
she had gone to .lames Kuchnik, a
young man whose attentions they had
discouraged and whom they had for-

I search they found her at his boarding
house and tried to get her to return.
She refused and said she would marry
no one but Kuchnik, whom she loved,
and that under no circumstances would
she marry Horabad, whom she did not
love.
Kucknik, too, defied them to take her.
and said he would never give her up
The girl's father thereupon had Kuch
nik arrested for abduction, as the girl
is under age. The unfortunate lover
was taken away by the police and the
girl was hurried home. She would not.

away with his friends. Kuchnik is out
on bail and Horabad is wondering what

To Push Mining Bills.
President T. D. Nichols and Secre
tary-Treasurer John T. Deinpsey, of
District No. 1, United Mine Workers,
accompanied by John P. Kearney, of
Archbald, and Henry Collins, of Carbon
dale. forming the district judiciary com
mittee, left Scranton 011 Wednesday for
Harrisburg, where they will endeavor
to further the passage of several mining
bills.
Among the measures in question are
those providing for the weighing of coal
.and fixing a legal ton at 2,240 pounds,
providing for a check weighing, for the
election of mine inspectors, and another
dealing with mine accidents. This last
one stipulates that a medicine chest
must be stationed at the foot of each
shaft, furnished with all the necessary
appliances for keeping injured miners
alive until medical aid can bo secured.
Early Closing a Success.
The early closing movement has been
tried two evenings, and from all indica
tions it is a success. Both the mer
chants and their clerks appear to enjoy
the change from the previous long hours.
The closing movement has been ob
served by practically all tho houses
which it is intended to embrace. Not
withstanding the notoriety given the
change, and the fact that tho clerks
distributed thousands of handbills and
cards announcing when it would go
into effect, many of the stores had
callers for goods on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings.
The promoters of the movement are
confident that shorter hours will hence
forth be the rule in Freeland, instead
of the exception, as heretofore.
"Faust" at the Grand.
Grecnsburg (Ind.) Daily Review.
That Porter J. White and his excel
lent company at the Grand opera house
last night in the beautiful and chaste
production of "Faust," pleased our
people beyond their most sanguioe ex
pectations there can be 110 doubt when
it is known that at the conclusion of
the fifth act the applause was so great
and prolonged that Mr. White was com
pelled to come before the curtain and
make a short but pleasing address to
tbe audience. He is supported by the
ideal actress, Miss Olgo Verne, who
plays the character of the pure Inno
cent Marguerite in a most charming
manner. The electrical and scenic
effects wore the finest over placed on
the stage at the Grand opera house.
Candidate for Recorder.
In sporting parlance Sheriff James G.
Harvey has shied his castor into the
ring, and has announced himself as a
candidate on the Republican ticket for
the recordorship. Sheriff Harvey has
made a beau ideal county official and
has added to tho number of his many
friends during his present career. He
will make a hot run during the coming
primaries and if selected ho will make a
strong candidate for bis party ticket.
Under the law a sheriff cannot succeed
himself, but Mr. Harvey's friends think
he deserves another term as an official
and have determined to push his claims
among the Republican voters.
No More Lead Nickels.
The manufacture of load nickels in
this vicinity Is said to have to come to
an end. These "slugs," as they aro
termed, were used to boat tho various
slot machines of town, but eventually
they began to appear In commercial
channels. Tho bogus coins arc fair
imitations of genuine nickols and many I
are passing daily through business
houses without attracting attention.
Two young men suspected of being '
implicated in the unauthorized coinage
have been discharged from Drifton
shops, and since then no more bright
"slugs" have come out of the slot ma
chinos.

ROUND THE REGION.
Bishop Charles Fowler has decided
that a pastor in a Welsh Methodist
church in this country cannot be com
pelled against his wishes to preach
entirely in the Welsh language. The
case in point on which he handed down
a lengthy decision was that of Rev. 11.
P. Morgan, of Wilkosbarre, pastor of
the Welsh M. E. church. He was en
gaged originally to preach entirely in
Welsh, but he decided to give one ser
vice in Welsh and the other in English
each Sunday. Fights ensued for the
possession of the church. Finally Mr.
Morgan obtained possession, and his
faction expelled the opposition trustees.

employes and added it to the pay of
others. This plan did not meet with the
approval of the miners. Batouian re
fused to remedy the matter. Then the
men asked for the removal of the assist
ant superintendent, which was refused.

and the strike was declared off this
morning.
