Proof Better Than Assertion.


 With such proof as the following letter from W. H. Dean of No. 278 Seventh street, New York, it is not necessary to make the bare assertion that Allcock's Porous Plasters cure lumbago. MT. Dean says: "some ten days ago I was taken with a very violent pain in the email of my back. It was so severe that I could hardly breathe; every movement caused great agony. hnal' l ly found out it was lumbago Being entirely helpless friend sent to druggist and go' two Allcock's Porous Plasters; these wert l well warmed and applied to my back, on' above the other. In half an hour, to my great delight and surprise, I found the pair | began to abate. In two hours l was able tt walk out and attend to my business, the pail | being almost gone.

BOLDLY BAFFLED AND BEATEN

 Consolidation Fares HI Before she
 Board of Education - Harmonious
 OpposItIen-Reso1u voicing the
 Boards Views.
 The battered front of consolidation vainly reared itself before the board of education last night and was bafasd and beaten at the outset. Tranquil harmony and unanimity brooded over the nights discourse, and de- bate was only a matter of aiding one another in expressing like views.
 ssIt is said that we have no right to act in this matter. as @ board" said President Wsleh as he opened the meeting, "but sup pose each man can give his opinisn." Dr. Carmalt said he could not see the least | advantage to the school district by consolida- | tion, whether in matters of expense or other l wise, and MT. Zunder fully agreed with the doctor that not dollar could be saved by the | bill as published. 'I have talked at length with MT. Henry O. White, who may be called the father of the consolidating bill, ," said Dr. | Carmalt, "and he has utterly failed iE con, vincing me that anything can be saved. Il seems only matter of principle with him | not economy"
 MT. Plunkett spoke at length of the evils attending a supervision of the common council in school affairs. He said thai neither the council nor committee of ap. propriations knsw anything about schoo matters and great harm would attend thii interference in these things. He saw ne advantages and many disadvantages in tn. proposed change. A great thing in hi
 mind was the mixing of politics with th' district, which would surely occur if con ! solidated.
 Mayor Peek expressed himself much II favor of city and town union but though
 the school district should be left out. MT
 Leigh was confident that if the board
 estimate were submitted to the common
 council, appropriations would undoubtedl.
 be smaller than required and some of th schools would have to be closed as result
 President Welch told of how teachers hat
 to be engaged and assured in advance ant ! how : the whole system would be upset i
 there was any doubt or scrimping of appro ! priations.
 The following resolutions were then of fered by Mir. Plunkett and passed by th ! boSrd:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this board tha \ the act of consolidation socalled now pending be ! fore the General Asse Rbly be opposed se far as | relates to the city school district.
 Resolved, That this board is and hereby is eI | pointed committee to appear before the commit ! tee Of the General Assembly in behalf of the cit
 school district and in opposition to the act of COT \ soiidation.
 This last was amended by Mr. Zunde
 making President Welch, Mayor Peck an' MT. Plunkett committee to have specia charge of the matters with present and pas ' members of the board. After these doing ' the board adjourned.
