CIVIL SERVICE AGAIN.
The Fight Against the Law is Renew
ed by Grosvenor.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The anti-civil
service reformers won a slight victory
in the house today when Mr.. Perkins
(Rep. LAD, presented a petition for
printing the hearings before the civil
service commission
Mr.. Grosvenor antagonized the reso-
tuition. He said the hearing had taken
an expert turn and he desired to sub
nit some facts in refutation of certain
statements before the hearings were
printed.
Mr.. Perkins, however, refused to
withdraw the resolution until the house
by a vote of 55 to 80 had refused the
previous question. He yielded.

Worcester, Mass, Feb. Mot since
the memorable blizzard of March II,
1888, has this section been so complete
ly snow bound. Business this morning
was practically suspended and the
streets in most parts of the city were
impossible
There is probably an average of two
feet of snow ON a level, but the high
winds make huge drifts ten or Is feet
high.
Railroad service is at a standstiu and
there is at this hour no communication
of any sort with Boston. None of the
telegraph or telephone companies has
a wire working, and it is not known
when a mail train can get through The
electric street railways are tied up.
There are reports of wrecked trains.
It is considered probable that the
storm was more severe east of here,
and it will be late in the day before
there is any communication with Bos-
ton.
New York, Feb. New York city to-
day is under snow to an average depth
of five inches. The temperature at a.
m. was 1 degree above zero, but the
weather forecaster said that a cold
wave would strike the metropolis to-
night. which would send the thermOm-
eter down Is to 20 degrees.
More than $500 sIrovelers were work
ing to remove the snow in the boroughs
of Manhattan and Bronx alone. Local
traffic preserved its normal conditions
and both surface and elevated ROADS
were run as usual.
With the exception of the lines run
ming to New England, the railroads
were not suffering inconvenience The

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given TO millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty

SOMETHING
MUST GIVE
Policy Of Retrenchment by the School
Board.
CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE IT
A Question Whether the Salaries Of the
Teachers Shall be Reduced, or the
School Term Cut Down Month
VIII be Decided on Mon
day Night.

Considerable interest is being manifested
in the outcome of the School Board meeting
to be held next Monday evening when it is
expected the school term and salaries of the
| teachers will be fixed. The main cause of
the interest is the report that the Board will
probably adopt policy of retrenchment Of
expenses, and thus far the Directors have
jealously guarded their intentions in that
direction
There is much speculation as to what will
be finally decided upon. but it is quite Ger
tain that a considerable reduction in expenses
will result.
Many propositions have been made. Among
them is one that the salaries of the teachers
be reduced, and many people besides the
teachers themselves have expressed opposi.
tion to it. 1t will be remembered that
Superintendent Cooper, in his report to the
Board at its last meeting, stated that "a
reduction in salary will be discouraging to
the teacher, intimating that reduced salary
may so effect the teacher as to bring reduced
efficiency.
Another proposition is that the salaries be
allowed to stand, but ,that the school term
be reduced from ten to nine months. To
this there is also objection principally ema-
mating from the teachers. who claim that a
reduction Of the term must necessarily be
| followed by reduction in the curriculum, as
1t would be impossible to complete the ten
month course in any shorter time There
are also people who oppose the proposition on
the general principle that the children can
not receive too much education and the
retrenchment should be made in some other
quarter 50 that the term shall not be dis
| turbed.
There IS Il third suggestion, to-wit that
for the present year the schedule of salaries
be suspended and that the teachers be paid
the same rate of salaries they received last
year, Under the schedule each teacheris en-
titled to a slight increase in proportion to the
number Of years Of teaching. If the schedule
Is suspended this increase Will not be given.
But, it is said, the saving from this source
will be only drop in the bucket, because it
will not reach five hundred dollars A reduc-
tiOn Of the school term to nine months will
result in saving of about q .OOO
Whatever plan the Board adopts will not
be pleasing and acceptable to everybody, but
the condition Of affairs staring them in the
lace makes some policy of retrenchment i'm
peratlye. The state appropriation is reduced
S3, 200 this year and there is large amount
of unpaid taxes upon which the Board does
not feel justified in building estimates for
the current year. The problem is by no
means difficult of solution when an effort is |
made to satisfy all concerned, but the Di-
rectors have given the subject considerable
thought and will no doubt be in a position on
Monday night to adopt measure that will
serve the best interests of all concerned
