TEACHER LOOKED UP.
Considerable Discussion Between MARI
boro Seniors and Juniors.

boro Seniors and Juniors.
Marlboro, Dec. 1.-THE senior class of
the high school are a little troubled
concerning a drama which the members
intended to produce in February. The
cause Of their bother is due to the un-
due frivolity Of a member of the junior
class. One day last week Miss Smith.
the teacher of shorthand and typeWrit-
ing, went into a recitation room, leav-
ing the key on the outside of the door.
A member of the Junior class happened
along when Miss Smith entered the
room and turned the key. Miss Smith
on account of this action was obliged
to remain & prisoner for some time
half an hour at least The teachers
dilemma was discovered by some one
passing along the corridor and she was
released.
The principal w. +. O'Connor. upon
ascertaining the fact of Miss Smiths
detention, was informed. it is asserted.
that her plight was due to a member Of
the senior class which he was coaching
for their forthcoming play He de-
manded an apology from the class for
the trouble that had been caused Miss
Smith, saying that unless it came he
would coach the young thespians no
longer. Members of the class refused to
grant Mr. O'ConnOr's request on the
ground that they had done nothing that
would require such action The class
has had several meetings, but nothing
towards untangling the problem has
vet been done

TO KEEP THE AIR MOVING
A Gas jet in Ventating Shaft of Station
Stable VIII Remove Bad Odors.

OF late there has been considerable
argument as to the source of certain
odors that permeate the apartments of
the officials, even to the sanctum of
Judge Utley, on the upper floors Of the
Waldo street station house. Various
theories have been advanced as to the
cause, and it was finally decided to in
vite an inspector from the board of
health to visit the building and make an
investigation.
Yesterday morning, Inspector John &.
Hurley went 20 the station, and after
looking the place over conducted a
search for defective traps or other
things of an unsantary nature. The
traps were found in good condition. and
Mr. Hurley located the offensive odors
as coming from the stable.
AT his suggestion a gas jet will he
placed in the ventllating shaft, the heat
from which will have the tendency to
produce stronger current upward and
mus remove the disagreeabe odors
