called to order, and said the meeting ha'
been called for action by citizens irrespective
of party, as it had seemed to be the genera
desire that the school election should be con
Quoted irrespective of party. As he was tn
Chairman Of a political committee it woul'
not be proper for him to preside further thai
to call to order. George B. Dean was callet
to the chair, and P. A. Byrne was elected
Secretary.
i w. B, G. Brown said the ticket put up b.
the Republican party he knew was not eats
factory to all OF that party, and not satisfac
tory as q whole to the people having children
in the schools He was opposed to one
sided election anyhow. He didn't care fo
politics in the matter, and wanted to indors'
some of the nominees OF the Republican com
mittee. It makes little difference, he said, a
to who puts Up another ticket, if only it is
/ paItment has not been managed as il
should be. 1t was dangerous to hsv.
one party too strong. and hence
| there should be contest. Many
Republicans had told him they favored thi.
movement, but be knew they were afraid &c
come cut and take part, Put ap good citi
zens' ticket and the people would support It.
| With these views he proposed to present the
name Of man who was in every way compe.
tent, man of integrity and standing, and
who would bring to the office scholarly at
tainments and thorough ability. He named
| E. w. Maslin for Superintendent of City
| Schools.
DIR. Nichols said he was generally par.
tisan, but wanted it understood in this move
ment he had no partisan feeling. He nomi-
mated K. w. Brier. man of education,
| brought up in line eminently qualifying
him for the position of Superintendent.

told him he would not accept. Mr.. Brisr had
declined as q candidate before the Republican
Committee. Mr.. DAMS would Ike to nomi-
nate w. B. c. Brown, but feared he would

as he did not feel competent to ELL the posi-.
ton. (Merriment.) Mr. Maslin was then
nominated by reclamation. Mr.. Maslin was

A. J, DAMS nominated as Director from the
Third Ward, n. 81. Nicholl. Edward
Twitchell nominated +. r. Dray. He didn't
know if he'd accept, but he assumed that any
good citizen would, while not seeking the
Office, yet act for the people. Judge Henry
nominated Edward Twitchell, and eulogized
him warmly. Mr.. Twitchell thought it far
better to nominate Mr.. Dray, who is an
John Domingos said Mr.. Dray would be
an excellent Director. but it is known that
his business very often compels him to be
absent. The Chair said he feared Mr.. Dray
would not be liable to serve for that reason.
Mr.. DAMS, by request of Mr.. Nichols
friends, withdrew his name. Mr.. Black
urged Mr.. Twitchell to stand. Mr.. Twitchell
thought Mr.. Dray would serve. On rising

Al Hsn1-a sNch ao IL
should vote for Mr.. Maelin, and urged Others
to support him, as he had not sought the
position and was thoroughly competent. He
was little afraid, however, that party men
would worship their political gods; as for him,
he was not bound to any strongly enough to
worship them. The meeting then adjourned.
ELECTRICAL Gladstone of the noticeable
features in large retail dry-goods establish
ments, and which frequently amount to an
annoyance to customers, is the continuous
calling of leash boys, and their running
hither and thither at beck and call. A
method of dispensing with most OF this din is
provided by modern use of electricity, and
this has been applied by Messrs. Weinstc ck
& Lubin in their establishment. 1t is done
by means of an electric enuneiator placed In
the central part of the store, from which
wires run to all the various counters and at
tach to an electrical button upon each.
When boy is wanted for cash or other SER
vice this button is pressed down by the clerk
and small bell is rung at the enuuciator,
and the number of the counter is indicated
upon the instrument. The location of the
| instrument being headquarters for the cash
boys one.of them Immediately responds to the
call. and without any loud calling or con-
fusion, as of old. The new method is great
improvement, and gives entire satisfaction to
| all concerned.
