NUNS AS TEACHERS.
Four Sisters of Charity Employed In the
Public Schools of Pittsburp

PITTsBURG, Feb. 27-Four Sisters of
Charity have taken possession of four
rooms in the Riverside public school, and
for the first time in the history of the pub
lie schools of Pennsylvania nuns have been
given permission to teaCh-nOt the doc
trines of the Roman Catholic church, but
the system as laid down by the central
board of education. No friction was caused
by the entry of the Sisters in the role Of
teachers in the public schools.
By an agreement with the school board
of the ward the parochial school of the st.
James Roman Catholic church and the
public schools were consolidated. The Sis
tiers regularly applied for certificates to
teach, which We're granted 10y the central
board of education, and the consolidation
has gone into effect.
The children from the parochial school
were placed in separate rooms, but this is
only temporary. There will be no distinc-
ton among scholars or teachers. Protes-
tant children will be taught by the Sister
teachers as we'll as Catholics. The school
is to be conducted, as heretofore, on the
uniform plan .dopted by the central board
of education and under the statutes of the
commonwealth governing public schools.
The Bible has not been read in the River
side school for six years at least, ana no
change will be made NOW.

Uncertainty Regarding Gladstone.

LONDON, Feb 27.-Inquiries hastily made
after the publication by the Evening News
of Edinburgh to the effect that Gladstone
was about to resign has found many be-
levers of the story who think it is based
on fact. T. I. O'Connor, member of par
lament, writes for the Sun to-day and
among other thing intimates that
for some time something like a
panic has existed among his sup
porters in the lobby. He adds that
last night it was current that the resigna-
ton might be expected any time during
the week. Competent authorities, say his
eyesight will be the reason given for his
resignation, further aggravated by the
position certain members of the cabinet
have taken in reference to the naval pro-
gramme. No one, he says, has any idea
what day may bring forth, but his idea is
that Gladstone will never leave the ship
altogether.

BOGUS BLUE RIBBONS.
They Were Used in Getting Drinks INIT
saloon Keepers Caught On.

saloon Keepers Caught On.
1t is useless to deny that n great many
bogus Murphy ribbons are being worn,
says the Bridgeport Union, consequently
when a fellow is seen with a knot of blue
fabric in his button hole, it doesn't neces-
sarily follow that he has been to the Muir
ply meeting or signed the pledge.
1t is probably true that the bogus ribbon
received its impetus from the plan inau-
gurated 10y Il half dozen Water street sd
loon keepers of making the price Of a Muir
ply ribbon glass of beer. The traitor
Murphyites drank the malt liquid and the
bartender received the azure ribbon as Il
trophy.
The plan worked well enough for Il day
or two, and no doubt a number of genuine
converts were captured. Now it has been
worked to death by the FOUNDERS, who
are quick to adopt any scheme that prom
ises Il drink without paying for it. Any
way the plan has been abandoned and the
price of beer is a nickel a schooner again.

Hallock by the owners, the Empire New

City.
NAUGATUcK. Feb 27.-Now that the
spring season is near our citizens can pre-
vent much sickness by having their
premises cleared of disease breeding OBJ
structions and perhaps avoid repetition
of last years mortality from spinal menin-
gifts and typhoid fever. Sherman Benson
of Straitsyille, Christopher ellison of Union
City and Edwin A. Parsons of Prospect are
all prepared to do this kind of work. The
health officers will enforce the law.
Tickets for ex-senator Ingalsl lecture to-
night may be obtained at the door of the
parish house. Those desiring a good seat
should go early. The admission is35cents.
Julius w. Brucker formerly gate tender
at the Maple street crossing is moving his
family out of town.
There are two more cases of scarlet
fever in Etna street, making three cases
in the double house occupied by Michael
Cuddy and John p. Dunno, each having Il
child sick and last night the physician re-
ported Mrs Dunno as being down with the
disease. The cases are all mild. The
majority of the cases being in one locality,
it is to be hoped that by a strict quaran-
tine the disease may die out.
The warden and burgesses should meet
tonight but it is doubtful if there will be
a quorum present, owing to Mr. ingalls,
lecture. The storm prevented a meeting
of the Kings Daughters last night.
The Ladies' Aid society of the Congrega-
tional church will meet in the parish
house tomorrow afternoon. Tea will be
served.

The boards of the opera house will be
occupied tomorrow evening by Sam Jack $
creoles. With them is Mile Fatima, the
Egyptian dancing beauty who was known
on the Chicago midway plaisance as the
original Cairo street girl. A typical
daughter of the Nile, with handsome, en-
pressive face, large lustrous eyes and fault
less foIm she formed the central figure of
the Cairo group and achieved unprece-
dented success as dansuesse.
"a Dark Secret"
No one need be told much about "A

acted around a big tank filled with water,
which furnishes a racing scene and IL
thrilling rescue fl ON drowning. 1t will be
given at the opera house Friday evening.

Venus" was given at the Jacques last
night before big audience. 1t is a bril-
mate and the dialogue sparkling and
smooth. Some of the ruusic is above
what we ordinarily hear in comic opera.
The costumes and settings were elaborate,
while the song. LAS We Peep at the Earth
From the Sky" is the cleverest of its kind
that has been heard here for many day.
The mere mention of such artists as
Camille D'Arville Hallen Mostyn, Harry
Marlborough, Fannie Johnston, Henry
Leoni, Donald Que, Jr, and the inimitable
child artists, Regaloncita and her two

The Industrial Army.

The California industrial army, says
the Silver State of the 9th, passed
through Winnemucca at 6 o'clock
Saturday evening in special train of
% cattle cars. The train was stopped
at the eastern end of the yard, where
engines and cabooses were changed,
and Immediately proceeded on its way,
the men cheering and waving banners
and American flags. Doubtless some
of them were professional tramps and
hobos, but the larger portion were
honest laborers, reduced to absolute
want in country of plenty of all the
resources of wealth, but lying dead for
the want of money.
At Winnemucca the army was re-
inforced by about 80 men and the
officers said that the total number on
board was about 1900. 1t left Sacra-
mento with 1000 strong and recruits
were picked up at every place the
train stopped east of there. The men
were very cheerful and very patriotic
more so than the average American
citizens could be expected to be on an
empty stomach. When the army ar
rived here the men had eaten nothing
since early morning, when they break
tasted at White Plains. The outlook
for another meal before they reached
Ogden was not good, as the provision
cars were almost empty.
The army was due to arrive at Og-
den shortly after noon yesterday. Pre-
parations were made by the officials
of the Territory and of that city to
feed the men until arrangements could
be made with the Union Pacific to take
them east.

Death of "Mike the Rooster. >,

By an item published in a Seattle
paper we see says the Sentinel a notice
of the death of a young man who grew
up to manhood in Eureka. Mike o.
Laughlin, son of Coleman O'Laughlin
and brother Hugh and the late John
O'Laughlin, was found dead alongside
of his bed in the Green Tree Lodging
house at Seattle about two weeks ago.
Mike was harmless, faithful fellow,
whose worst enemy was himself. He
was confirmed opium smoker, but,
nevertheless, when he was at himself
he was over average in intelligence
The only relatives he has living is a
father at Colfax, CAL, and a brother
somewhere in Wood River, Idaho.
When the Coroner arrived and took
charge of the remains all the effects
found were a nickel and a box of
pills. He was native of California,
aged about Al years.

been bothered with severe pains in his
head. Last winter he went to Utah
returning Monday, and on his arrival
it was apparent to all his friends that
he was insane, but no one thought
that he would end his career in the
above manner.
On his way from Battle Mountain
Monday he thought that the passen-
gers on the train were going to kill
him.
Deceased was about 30 years of age
and has resided in Austin for over 20
years and considered a good square
man by all who knew him.
