Damage Done by Recent Frosts.

LocKPoRT, N. Y, June 2.-Reports from
Western New York show that the damage
done by May frosts has been large and
widely extended, but has not been really
disastrous anywhere except in the deep
valleys of the south towns of Erie county.
From that region the complaints are
serious and the outlook somewhat dis
couraging. The region is largely devoted
to dairying, and suffers by the shortened
hay and pasturage caused by the drouth
and frosts.
The great grape-growing region on the
South shore of Lake Erie reports full
crop in sight, and the peach-growing
region along the Niagara river makes an
equally favorable report
The drouth and frosts came too soon
to injure Wyoming county's staple, the
bean, and the most recent agricultural
experiment, the tobacco plantations in
Southern Erie, escaped the general devas-
tation in that region.
Apples and other fruits suffered
severely.

BAGGARAT CASE
HEIR -APPARENTIS'
THE REAL DEFENDANT.
THE PUBLIC'S EYES ARE OPENED.
1t Was the Prince Of Wales Money
That Was Won by Foul Means.
The Prince Determined to
Face the Exposure.

LONDON, June 2.-The hearing in the
baccarat case has thrown a flood of light
on the affair, and opened the public eyes
to the fact that the Prince Of Wales ia
the real defendant in the case.
1t was the Princes money that Sir
William Gordon Cumming is said to have
been winning by foul means, it was the
Prince who got the paper signed, which
the defence rely upon as an acknowledge
ment of guilt and it is the Prince who
steadfastly upheld Mr. and Mrs. Wilson
ever since the beginning of the suit.
The behavior of Sir William in court
left no doubt as to the feeling between
himself and the Prince, and it was no.
ticed that when their eyes met once, as
Cumming was taking the witness stand,
the Prince had that naughty, distant
look for which he is noted on occasion.
He has evidently determined to face the
whole exposure, and show that he, at
least gambled like a gentleman.
Lord Coleridge was peculiarly subser-
Went in his manner towards the Prince,
a fact which did not impress the specta-
tors favorably.
The court adjourned until tomorrow.
The Prince of Wales remained until the
end. He smiled and bowed to acquaint-
1nces, and seemed to feel merry over the
circumstances. Sir William Gordon
Cumming testified with great coolness.

ENGLAND MOVING
CORRESPONDENCE ON BEHR-
ING SEA QUESTION.
THE PRESIDENTS PROPOSALS
His Determination to Bring About
a Closed Season Has the De-
sired Effect-British Gov
ernment's Reply.
By National Press Association.


WASHINGTON, June 2.-The President
has made public the latest correspondence
touching the Behring Sea question.
The hearing of this new instalment of
Behring Sea literature can only be prop
erly understood by going back to what
occurred a year ago. Then the Presi-
dent, acting upon his view of American
rights in Behring Sea and the uniform
construction placed by this Government
upon the acts Of Congress for the protec-
tion of the fur seal, undertook to exclude
Canadian sealing vessels from Behring
Sea by force. Thereupon Lord Salisbury,
failing to change the purpose OF the
President, caused this Government to be
advised that until some mutually chosen
arbitrator should decide that Behring Sea
belongs to the United States the right of
British vessels to take seals in that sea
would be defended by such means as Her
Majesty's government possessed.
Upon this notification the President
sought to induce Lord Salisbury to pro-
hibit sealing by British vessels till could
be determined whether the United States
was right or wrong in claiming to con-
troll the seal fishery. Lord Salisbury
offered to do so provided the President
would agree to an immediate arbitration
of the disputed question Of jurisdiction
and to pay damages if defeated in the
arbitration.
The President would not consent to
this, but ordered the revenue cruisers
not to molest the British sealers. At the
late session Of Congress the President
laid the whole matter before that body,
which took no action upon it, The
President, not desiring repetition OF
last years futile proceedings, according
ly determined to bring about closed
season this year.
The result of this action was that G
bill was Immediately introduced in Par
| lament on the subject.
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1891-06-02

Mr.. John F. 50
The Superintendent reported that the
Main, Centre and Lloyd street buildings
need painting on the outside. That the
Union street building should be raised and
the White street building should receive
immediate attention, as the foundations
need repair. That the old desks in room
No. of the Centre street building should
be removed and replaced with new ones
and janitOr should be employed for the
Turkey Run building. The teachers are
now doing the work and it prevents them
from attending the weekly teachers meet
ings. 1t is necessary they should attend
the meeting, but they will not be able to do
so if janitor is not employed for their
schools. After speaking well of the work
accomplished by the use of supplementary
readers, Mr.. Freeman recommended that
primary histories be supplied for supple
mentary reading and that, iestead Of re-
quiring pupils to purchase them, the board
purchase sets so that two schools may use
one set, This will require an expenditure
Of but about $780, But if pulls are re-
quired to purchase them the expense will
run up into thousand dollars.
Continuing Mr.. Freeman said, 1T is my
opinion that if parents Of children and
other citizens of the town would visit our
schools more than they do there would be
less occasion for complaint. They would
become acquainted with the teachers,
know more Of their work and cares, and
have more sympathy for the teachers. If
there is any way by which we might pre-
vail upon parents to visit the schools il
would be good thing. There is complaint
frequently about our drawing and music.
Some think it is useless thing in our
schools. have taken pains to notify those
who have found fault to visit the schools
and see what the work is and in no case
have failed to convince those that these
studies are good things"

DIRECTORS MEET,
SCHOOL BOARD MEETING HELD
LAST NIGHT.
OLD BOARD ADJOURNS SINE DIE.
A New Organization-The Old Of
1cers ed-Superinten-
dent Freeman Makes His
School Reports.

The old School Board met in Superin-
tendent Freeman's Office last night to wind
up its business. The members present
were Messrs. Trezse, Muldoon, Baird
BELLS, Owens, Davenport, Butts, o. Haren
Gable, Conry, Bachmsn, Knebel, Hanna
and Beddsll.
Superintendent Freeman presented his
report for the month ending May 29 1891
and also his seventh annual report. The
former report was as follows; Enrolment
for the month-boys, 1888; girls, l, ,O83; total
1871. Average daily attendance 1,6l3
Percentage OF attendance, 80. Number
present every session, $40. Visits by cti-
zens, 2l9, By directors, g.
The annual report was: Number Of
pupils enrolled during the year-boys
1885; rls, l,42li total, 2676 Average
daily .endance, 1856. Percentage of at
ten c, SO. Total number of visits by
citizens, 2,0S3. By directors, 8O6.
The following shows the percentage of
attendance at the several schools for the
month of May:
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1891-06-02

that the number of books on hand is l,6Tl,
Mr. Freeman stated that larger quarters
for the library are required and, as another
room for r. grammar school will soon be
needed, he recommended that building
with two rooms, one for the library and
one for school purposes, be erected at the
rear Of the Main street building.
President Beddall suggested that it would
be well, at the same time, TO build some
place that would do away with the renting
of places for schools, as is now the case.
Mr.. Beddall then thanked the board for
its cooperation and courtesies during the
past year, and commented favorably upon
the work accomplished. Referring to the
remarks made by p. J. Ferguson at the
High School graduating exercises, Mr..
Beddall said, During the past year we
increased the lowest salaries of the teachers
from $50 to S35 and l think that was
great thing for the board to do consider
ing the disadvantages it labored under dur
ing the year, and so far as the statements
that the teachers are not receiving laborng
mems wages is concerned, l would say
in the mines who are receiving less than
S95 a month. While the teachers may be
deserving Of more pay, think this board,
under the conditions it has been laboring,
has been very liberal, indeed.
Superintendent Freeman then said
Last year the board raised the salaries of
teachers who had no experience SO for the
first year and tnat seemed an injustice to
teachers who had taught three years. To
make that right it seems to me the board
had better raise the salaries along the line
two or three dollars. l think the board
could afford to doit."
A motion that the old board adjourn
sine die, was then carried and Messrs. BELLS
and Knebel, whose terms as directors ex-
pired with the meeting, withdrew.
REORGANIZATION.
Messrs. Beddall and O'Hearn retained
their seats as reelected directors and
Messrs. A. j. Gallagher, Michael j. Bren-
nan and W. P, Williams took their seats
as new directors.
NJ. r. A. Davenport was made tenn
porary chairman and Mr.. Philip Gable
temporary secretary.
Mr., Muldoon nominated Mr. Beddail
for permanent chairman and Mr.. O'Hearn
seconded the nomination. Mr.. Beddall
was unanimously elected.
Mr.. Gallagher nominated Mr. Gable for
secretary and Mr. Brennan seconded the
nomination, Mr. Davenport nominated
| Mr.. Bachmsn, Mr.. Trezise seconding the
nomination, Mr. Gable was elected on
the first ballot the vote being Gable s;
Bachman T.
Mr.. Hanna nominated Thomas BELLS for
treasurer and Mr.. Davenport nominated
Archie B. Lamb. The ballot resulted
Lamb 9; BELLS 6.
Mr.. Conry moved that the rules by
which the board was governed last year be
adopted and the motion prevailed.
1t was then decided that the bosrd meet
tomorrow Wednesday evening to fix the
school tax and elect teachers.
