MEETING OF TEACHERS.

Receive Advice Concerning the Coming
Examinations from Supcrintcndcnts.
There was q large representation or
the South Side teachers at the meeting
held yesterday afternoon In No. 3
school, River street, South Side. Su-
perintendent Phillips presided and was
there for the purpose of making known
to the teachers the work expected from
them in the line of examinations in
their schools. The papers are ready
for distribution now, and Mr.. Phillips
advised the teachers not to make pro-
motions altogether on the face of the
results of the examinations, but to
shape that matter in concord with the
annual progress of the pupils.
The superintendent referred to the
national convention of teachers at Dem
yer, Col. i'm August, and stated that
he though it would do the teachers good
to go. He hoped to see the time come
when It will he no novel sight for teach
ers to band together in groups on pleas
ure trips to some of the mountain or
summer resorts.
He wants every teacher to compile
an accurate statement of the actual
number of days attended by each pupil
and the ward the pupil Is from during
the school year. This, he thinks, will
show to better advantage the interest
taken in school matters in the different
wards of the city. He made the state
ment that the Thirteenth ward is rep
resented by but one pupil in the high
school graduating class.

Date Has Been Fixed by Gcycrncr
Daniel II. Hastings.
HAS ONLY TWO MONTHS TO LIVE
lie Is Not Yet Aware That the day OF Ills
Death Has Been Fixed and That
His Earthly Pilgrimage Is
Drawing to Close.

Governor Hastings yesterday fixed
Thursday, August 1, as the date upon
which Murderer Frank Beck will ex-
plate his crime upon the gallows.
Clerk of the Courts John II. Thomas
had not sent n certified copy of the
record of the supreme court to the eX-
ecutive department until yesterday,
but about two hours after the docu-
ments We're mailed, letter reached
Clerk Thomas from Prothonotary
Green, of the supreme court, saying
that he had sent the record to the
governor.
Sheriff Frank II. Clemons has not yet
received official notification Of the date
of Be2ek's execution, and until he does

authorities say. sleeps more than two
thirds of his time, and he has not been
Informed as yet that the supreme court
has denied him a new trial, and that
the state executive has appointed the
day on which he must die.
His Lease of Life Nearly Run.
Beck has less than sixty days to live,
unless he shall be rcspited by the gov
ernor in the meantime. 1t is customary
for the governor to grant a short stay
Of execution in almost every murder
case.
Edmund A. Bartl declares that he
will bend his energies to have the
board of pardorfs step in and save the
murderer from his fate. The time Is
short and it will be decided this week
what will be done in Be2ck's behalf,
There Is no use to rely on the eXer-
else Of executive clemency. The gov
ernor by not taking more time to con-
slider the case has proven that he will
not prevent the law from taking its
course. Mr.. Bartl has given Beck as
surance that he will befrend him to
the last, and that is the only solitary
hope left for the unfortunate man.
Spends His Time Praying.
He reads anti rereads his prayer book
daily and his continual occupation is
praying. He is not losing any sleep,
but he worries greatly while awake.
Sheriff Clemons will allow no one to
converse with him except his attorneys
or clergymen.

Rev. August Lange case and the an
nouncement is made that at the proper
time the finding of the commission will

scandal
The meeting of the commission did
not discuss the Wisswaesser case, but
The Tribune is informed by one of the
body that the Lange protest was treat

case, according to one of the reverend
members of the commission. He says
that the preachers suspension has not
been revoked or altered.

Rev. Father Christ, pastor of st.
Mary's German Catholic church, be-
came incensed yesterday afternoon in
the church at what he'terned the sacri-
legious action of Frederick Dambacher,
one of the pall-bearers of the late
Charles Young. After appealing to
Dambacher to desist, the clergyman
threatened to have him elected from
the church.
The episode occurred in this manner:
Dambacher, when he came into the
church, had his hat on and was using
loud, unscemly language. Father
Christ spoke to him quietly, but it had
no effect and then the priest became
sterner. Some of Dambacher's friends
came forward and prevailed upon him
to observe the rules of decorum that
obtain in churches
