SEAL GARMENTS.

We have now the choicest as
sortment of genuine Alaska Seal
Garments we have ever shown.
Jackets, Sacques and Wraps in all
the most desirable shapes and a
complete range of sizes. These we
will sell during the balance of this
season at nearly the old prices.
The advantage of buying now is
shown by the advance lover $50
per cent? obtained for skins for
next seasons use in the last Novem-
ber and December market at Lon
don. This will certainly advance
the price of garment for next
season more than double present
prices.

SELECTING A SITE

On Which to Locate the Alleghe eny Govern
ment Building.
Adolph Cluss. an agent Of the United States
Treasury Department. is in the city looking up
a site on which to build the Allegheny Govern
ment building. Yesterday he, with Postmaster
Gileland, inspected number of sites which
have been offered for sale, and others which
would make excellent Sites though they are
not for sale. Should one of the latter be set
tied upon the Government will probably begin
proceedings for condemnation without bicker-
ing for price. The appropriation is for $780,
O0O, which must purchase site and put up the
building.
Mr.. Cluss leaves the city to-day, but does not
go back to Washington for some time and will
probably make his recommendation by letter.

BETTER PAY WANTED.
Allegheny Teachers Petition for an

SCHEDULE FOR TERM OF SERVICE.
Teachers Who Continue Six Years Expect
to Make 1t a Life Work.
DIFFICULT T0TEACH PRIMARY PUPILS

A special meeting of the Allegheny Board
Of School Control was held last night to
take up unfinished business, and the chief
work was the reading of a petition signed
by 102 ward teachers asking for a raise in
salaries.
In the Tenth ward, Miss Elizabeth Seaton
was elected to fill the vacancy caused by re-
lieving the principal OF teaching duties;
Miss Amy Jamison was elected vice Miss
Hattie Brown, resigned, and Margaret Drum.
Helen Williams and Margaret Reed were
elected for the new school in Woods Run. For
the Seventh ward schools, Miss Pauline Mohr,
Miss Jessie McRoberts and Miss Annie Z.
Marshall were elected teachers.
The Finance Committee asks that SIC, 600 be
raised for High School purposes. This is s.. 600
less than last years levy for the same fund.
The High School Committee submitted the fol-
lowing schedule for the payment of assistant
teachers in the High School and 1t was referred
to the Committee on Teachers and Salaries:
Teachers of less than ones experience, $500 per
year; with one years experience. $500 per year:
with two years experience, 500; with three
years experience. $3.50
The petition from the teachers states that
teachers who have had six more years ex-
perience, and those who have had charge of
the first primary grades and of the class pre-
pairing for the High School, respectfully
petition you for such an advance in their sal
aries as the finances of the district will war
rant" Continuing, the petition recites that
there is great disparity between the salaries of
teachers and principals. The increase asked
for the six-year teachers is for the reason that
the class contains those who propose to make
1t life study. They need encouragement The
other advances are asked for upon the ground
that the work is very difficult and should be
better paid.
The following schedule of salaries was re-
spectfulIy submitted:

MIR. Milligan reminded his hearers that
covenanters sometimes encourage Prohibi-
tionists in their course, and wanted TO know if
that was held TO be following a divisve
course. Assuming all the charge to be true he
said it amounted TO nothing. He said he had

vergIng on harshness, and pausing a moment
he added that he wanted them to absorb what
he said. The conclusion of the argument was
eloquent and it was followed by clapping of
hands and stamping of feet which action
Moderator McAlisteT reproved sharply.
Professor Wilson replied briefly holding that
Rev. Milligan's charge of Inconsistency was
no argument. He allowed but one basis of
settlement and held that the seven brethren
should have accepted it and confessed their
error. He charged that they had gone back
on their agreement Said he: I'VE want the
public to understand th at we do not interfere

may be all right, yet he who
votes for officers takes the Government

courts Gid the same, but the last was held to be

the Constitutional amendment was substan-
tiated by the fate all temperance work had met
at the hands of the United States Courts in
the original package decisions AS to the
divisive courses charged against the East End
conventionIsts, Prof. Wilson asked if the atti-
tude of the secular press toward the covenan-
ter church and the falling off in church con-
tributions were not sufficient proof.
Too Much Talk to Leave Much,
The session ended at 9oclock last night, to
be resumed at o'clock this morning. Some
said it would last all day. but Prof Wilson
hought not as he said there could not be much
