There was ascene at the meeting of the Board of edneation last night. All of the members were pr it and were going through the regular routine of work in their necustomed sedate manner when the procecdings were interrupted by the entrance of two ladios, one ot whom a tencher in the high school, was armed with a grievance. The lady was Mrs, Melntyre, who took advantage of a lull in the procecdings to stato her case. By way of introduction she stated that she had tanght for several years in responsi- Dle positions in the city schools and was at present teaching the sciences in the high school. She had never had her work criticised, she said, but had often been complimented upon her success. Reoantly, however, she had become aware of » movement that had been started by a member of the board of education that roflected upon her character both as a wowan and a teacher, and that she wanted to plnce her side of the case be- fore the board in order that she might not be deait with too harshly when the matter eame before the board, as it prob- ably would at an carly e, Tt had come to her ears that a member of the board had stated that he was reeently in a newspaper office and met an irate par, ent who 15 1 on business with the oditor. ¢ irate parent said that his child had reported that a “wine colored book™ containing 1m- proyer pictures was lying in _the room, used by the teacher of the sciences and wus nceessible to pupils who should not be allowed to see its contents, The irate purent was going to have the fact pub- ished, but was dissuaded by the member of the bourd, who sent an order to the teacher to keep the “wi olored” vol- nme locked up or remove it from the yoom. The matter had been told to s eral members of the board and was be coming a subject of general talk, mueh to the damage and annoyance of the teacher. The ousfit gus jet in the rearof the s s desk blinked merrily as Mrs, Me- , With five in her eyes, continued d I elaim it my privilege to know the wame of the irate parent, and I ask Mr, Lonoyer now to unearth i If he does not I will think that no such person ex- Ists. Mr. Conoyer fabricated—and I use the term ‘fabricated’ advisedly—about me last year and afterwards took it | when L went to him ahout the 3 nuestion. Again Lask, Mr. Conoyer, will you unearth the nge? The members looked ether frightened ot amused and the scerctary’s pompa- dour suffered a tit_of nervous prostration ns he arose to explain his position. He said he would not divulge the name of * the irate parent. The s stated by him were true. One of his own children had seen the book in which there was a eut representing the lower half of the human body. Te had sent word to haye the book kept out ot the class and in the feacher’s desl. 3 Mrs. Mclntyre stated that the “wine- colored” volume was Quane's anatomy, book that had been used as a reference hook in the teaching of physiology for the past three years in the classes now taught by her. The book was not used by tue class at all excent as a reforence book. Mrs. Mclntyre insisted that Mr. Uonoyer give the name of the irate parent and said she would leave it to the iml-,;ment of tho board whether she ought ¢ know the name o¥ not g A motion by Mr. Davis that the whole matter be referred to ecinl committee of three with the superintendent for in- vestigation was generally discussed. Mr. Long said the motion and investig farece. He thought the secre to tell the name of the “‘irate arcnt.”” Mr. Davis wanted the motion o prevail. He said an incipient sc: had been started and would ve r most of by tie ubiquitous reporters, and that the matter should be thoroughly hived. If an injustic done, Irs. MeIntyre is entitled to the exonera- tion of the board. Mr. Copeland and Mr. Livesey favored the motior Coburn wanted the matter inye 1-|y the board as a committee ot the whole that the censure, if any 15 needed, should fall where it belong Mr. Blackburn thonght that the sceretary's netion whs ridiculons and should not” be considered by the board. After a gencral discu sion the motion prevailed and the chair uppointed Messrs. Davis, Copoland nnd Clark to act with the superintendent in conducting the examination, Mrs, Melntyre having accomplished the object of her visitin drawing tho attention of the board to the peculiar and emba e Ing position in which she has been placed by some one “telling tales out of school,” withdrew. The other busin of the meeting was as follows: The communication of the Truman Buck, asking for prepare his Dwvmh r reived and granted, A number of applications for positio 18 nssistans tes as were recoived and reterred to the proper commitiees.

Mr. ( 's substitute, pro viding that such removal must be done by the dis- triet court was offered. Mr. Lee said he thought that nction would be delayed in case of an attempted impeachment by the overburdened court. He thought the uneil would not impeach a mavor who ghould not be removed. Mr. Poppleton thought that the substitute of Mr. Chase was a good one if the power of suspend- ing the mayor during a hearing of the case were given to the judge of the dis- trict court. Atter considerable discussion the substitute of Mr, Chase was adopted by a nearly unanimous vote. "The quostion of the city printing v taken up on a special order. The city at- torney presented a section authorizing the council to select an official paper. Mr. Poppleton offered a proviso that the printing be awarded by a contract to tho lowest responsible bidder. The scction as reported by the city attorney was adopted. An amendment was made to the sec- tion defining the duties of the chief of the fire department, requiring him to pay into the city treasury at the end of h month all fees and money for scrvices collected in his department, A seetion authorizing the council to se- lect a boile spector, fixing his at $1,500 a vear and defining his dut was adopted.

Under the section defining the police judge's authority an amendment was added, giving the police judge anthority jurisdiction three miles beyond the eity imits in ofienses against the ordinances of the city. A provision was also added giving the police judge authority to re- quire convicted prisoners to serve their fine in work uvon the publie strecf otherwise provided. The other tions defining the powers of the police judge were adopted without change, Section 165 was adopted, fixing the sal- aries of the oflicgrs of the city as follows: Muyor, $2,500 per annun; police judge, $1,5800 per annum; treasurer, $1,400 per annum; auditor, $2,000 per annum; chief of police, $1,600 per annum; city clerk, 2,000 per annum; ecity attorney, $3,000 per annum; assistant city attorney, §1,000 per annum; eity engineer, $3,000 per an- num; assistant city engineer, $2.000 per board of public wor J issioner, $1,800; chair- man board of park commissioners, 1,800 per annum; building 1nspector,’ $1,800 per annum; chairman of board of fire and police commissioners, 2650 per a num; boiler inspector, §1,500 per annum councilmen, $600 per annum; police, $70 per month.

It secms that the popular taste runsto farcical or sensational enter- tainments, for none of the high class per- formances that have lately been the bill at Boyd's opera house have met with a decent recognition. The actors last night muy have felt it some compensation that the audience was en rapport with them to an amazing extent, and that they were playing to one of the most thoroughly admiring audiences ever assemble in the opera house. The play is L means an unfamiliar one here, hut never beforo hasit been presented with such a magnificont preamble. Each actor is an artist, and every character was so clear cat and masterly in _connection that only a detailed and lengthy account could do justice to their respective merits, Rose Coghlan was piquant, natural and alto- gethoer so charming that she left nothing to be desired, and her mobile face and im- posing presence considerably enhanced the charm of her finished acting. Her costumes and also those of the rest of the company were some of the richest and “costliest ever seen on the stage, Mr. De Belleville as ( Surface displayed his fine abilities to the utmost t the part allows, and made most gratifying impression, S, A. man was an excellent Joseph Sur! and most cieverly depicted the specious knavery of the respectable hypoe Chas.

In thousands of cases Athlophoros has proved a quick and certain cure for these diseases, In connection with Athlo- photos Pills it has never yet failed to speed- ily efiect a cure. In all probability many deaths attributed to heart disease are caused by these terrible discases, which are far more dangerous than is generally cone sidered. Rheumatism, even thongh in a vary mild form, is extremely dangerous, for it is liable at any moment to go to the heart and cause instant death. Why trifle with a discase so fatal when a cetain cure can be obtained of any druggist? Every druggist should keep Athlopho ros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cannot be bought of tho druggist the Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall St., New York, will send either (earringe paid) on receipt of regular price, which is $1.00 per bottle for Athlophoros and e {Is, For liver and ki disonses, dyspepsia, n- digestion, weakness, norvous debility, disenses of women, constipation, hoeadache, impure blood, &c.
