CHARGES AGAINST
 SCHOOL DIRECTORS
RumOrS That Teachers Posi- tiOnS Have Been
 Sold.

The Grand Jury committee on Board of Education will make certain recom- mendations to the jury on Tuesday that may lead to a sweeping investigation of the methods of the School Department Rumors have reached the ears of certain members of the Grand Jury that posi- tions as teachers are being sold by School Directors at prices averaging $400 each.
 Thus far the utmost secrecy has been maintained regarding the names of those who will be called upon to give informa- tion and no subpenas have been issued for members of the board, though 1t is expected that such a course will be taken to-day.
 It is said that one witness will testify that a certain school teacher. who Is known to be friendly with members of the board. has handled the money of a number of applicants for the positions and has seen that it reached the hands of those for whom 1t was intended.
 The members of the Board of Educa- ton with one or two exceptions scoff at the idea that any such transaction has taken place and say that to a person who understands the manner in which positions arc awarded such rumors must seem ridiculous.

The Feast of St. Paul, the patronal feast of the Paulist Community, was celebrated with solemn ceremonies yes terday morning at St. Mary's Church. Solemn high mass was celebrated at Il o'clock, at which Archbishop Riordan delivered panegyric in honor of the life, work and conversion of St. Paul, paying beautiful tribute to his mem ory and citing the various traits of his character
 The mass was said by the Rev. Fa- ther Powers, who was assisted by Fa- ther Hopper as deacon and Father O'Connell as sub-deacon. Father Mul- ligan of the cathedral acted as master of ceremonies. The vestments used in the ceremony of the mass were white and golden silk and were worn specially for the occasion.
 Gounod's mass of the "Sacre Occur" was chanted by an augmented choir of fifty voices An orchestra consisting of flutes, violins and cellos was directed by Eugene Schmitz, the noted violin virtuoso from the Columbia Theater while the organ accompaniment was rendered under the able direction of Miss Marie Giorgiani. The principal singers at the service yesterday morn ing were as follows: Sopranos-Miss Mary Higgins, Miss Mary McDermott anu OldId INOOAdHs Miss Josephine Murphy, Miss Helen Ford, Miss Jene Jehue, Miss Nellie Daly, Miss Clara McDermott; tenors- Charles Goettinez, Benjamin Sieberlich, August Schuman and William Creigh- ton; bassos-William Gordan, Denis Sheerin and William OBrien.
 At the conclusion of the mass solemn benediction was celebrated, after which the archbishop imparted his blessing to the congregation.
 The collections taken up at the ser- vices will be donated to the fund for the erection of the Catholic seminary at Menlo Park.
 The Paulist priests have offered to contribute $2500 toward the institution of a college for the education of young men desirous of becoming priests. and will endeavor to raise this amount be- fore the 18th of next month, the date set for the formal opening of the semi nary.
 On the first Sunday of Lent the Paul. ists will commence a mission at their church on California and Dupont streets, and will be assisted in their work by a number of representative priests from the mother order in New York. This will be the first mission given under the direction of the com munity since its permanent establish ment in this city four years ago. Since the time of it's institution here Catho- lies generally have taken an unusual interest in the order, and have made contributions in order to remodel the church and make it one of the finest in the city.

Dundon and Slade, besides being at the head of the San Francisco Timber Preserving Com pany. the Slade Lumber Company, the Dundon Lumber Company and the Dundon Iron Works Company, are the silent partners in the Darby .Laydon & Co. firm. which has secured the con- tract for the next years supply of piles in the peculiar manner related.
 It is the purpose of the attorneys for the Paraffine Paint Company to place both MT. Dundon and Mir. Slade on the witness stand. and to get their books into court for examination. The ac- counts of the Slade Lumber Company will be brought before Judge Belcher to-day, in accordance with his order, issued after the attorney for Mir Slade strenuously objected to being compelled to produce the books of the company.
 It is estimated that the value of the pile preserving work for the ensuing year will approximate s70,000. The to- tai business transacted during the past year with the board by the firms and companies enumerated is estimated as having been about s136,000
