House Passes Bill Fixing r Low Salary Limit. 1 School Boards to Be Pro hibited From Employing Teachers at Less Than $35 per Month. By a vote of 134 to 38 the Snyder bill, ' fixing the minimum salary of public school teachers In the state at $35 per j month, passed the house of representa tives finally yesterday morning. No educational measure in recent years has attracted so much attention as this bill. While it will affect only a few boroughs and cities, as practically all these pay at least 535 per month now, It will have a far-reaching effect throughout the farming and rural com* 1 munitios. where as low as S2O per month Is received by school teachers. On the final vote the Luzerne repre . sentatlves divided as follows: Ayes— Hartman, Flanigau, Burke and ILol comb. Nay—Ross. Absent—Ferry. The latter favored the bill, but was not present on account of the death of his • child. The bill will now be messaged over to the higher branch of the legislature, where several senators will give it hearty • support, as there is a determination 2 there as In the house, to remove the - stigma from the state and to lift the rural communities to a higher educa tional level. Mr. Snyder, the author of the act. 1 said today that he will now go to work on the senate committee on education and endeavor to have the hill reported out as soon as possible. He has enlisted Senator (Quail In the bill's interest and will go after the senators as energeti cally and vigorously as he did the as - semblymen. Dr. N. C. SchaefTor, state superin tendent of public Instruction, who has been an earnest and persistent advocate of better salaries for teachers, expressed the greatest gratification when he heard of the bill's final passage In the house. ' I am hoping and praying that the bill will become a law," said Dr. SchaefTor, "and am very much pleased with its success thus far. I trust the senate will pass the bill without delay." FUNERALS.

Pottsville took no chances when they decided to play in Freeland and brought as strong an aggregation of basket ball players to town Wednesday evening as could be selected. Several have played hero with other teams during the sea son, and when the best were picked and placed together the result could not be otherwise, strong individually and strong as a team. When the game started Pottsville played fast and snappy ball. During the first ten minutes both teams ran neck and neck. The locals scored two baskets and secured a point on a free throw, or a total of 5. Pottsville ran up seven baskets or 14 points for the half. In the second half the visitors shot for and secured baskets at will, until about the last five minutes of play, when the locals took a spurt and secured 13 points.

Manager Davis, of theCrescont basket ball team, received a message late Wed nesday afternoon from Shenandoah, stating that the team from that town which was hilled to play that ovehing was unable to keep their engagement and would not bo here. After much hustling the Pottsville team was engag ed -and when the train arrived it con tained the Shenandoah club also. It was learned that the manager of the Shenandoah team was not aware that a message cancelling the gamo had been sent and that it was unauthorized by him. The team was sorely disappointed and on this account the locals decided to take them on last evening. The game resulted In a walkover for the locals by the score of 40 to 8. Messrs. Faltz and Smith, of town, played with Shenandoah and put up a great game. The latter played only in the last half and scored 0 points.

There was nothing in the nature of a salary guarantee about it. lie was told also that there were men book agents in New York who made their $.">,000 to SIO,OOO a year without much trouble. These agents, he was told, handled only the highest and most expensive publications. They had become ac quainted with the individual tastes and peculiarities of rich men, who never questioned the price of a book if it was something they wanted. The trade of these men was entirely in edi tions do luxe.
