who bad been IN possession ot the opera
house bad given way to tho superior
number OF the ultacking party, it was
found Tint one of the attacking party

EPISCOPAL COUNCIL.
Day of Final Adjournment Definitely
 Fixed for October 25. e-

Washington, October 22-At todays ses- sion of the Episcopal council addresses were made by Bishop Dudley of Ken lucky on the University of the South; Bishoo Peterkin, of West Virginia, on academic halls: Rev. pr. Greer, ofs New York, in advocacy of a national church university; Rev. pr. Nelson, on Hobart college; Rev. pr. Jones. on Kenyon col lege, and Bishop Lawrence, of Massachu- setts; on the parish. church in the college town. f. >.
 In the course of Dr. Cheers remarks, he pointed out that many .coliege-bred men joined the criminal sets, and he urged that something more than mere education and physical culture would be required to keep men good. Instead of multitude of feeble colleges, he urged that one great university be established. Bishop Dudley disclosed for the first time that his proposal at the Min neapolis general conventionin in behalf of the University of the South had led to se- cret gift of $50,000.
 The house of deputies, meeting apart from the bishops, held memorial services on former members of general conventions who had died since the last council
 The house of bishops, in private session, selected Rev. Junius Moore Horner, of Ox- ford, for bishop of the missionary district of Asheville, N. C.. -- 't'sfs
 The day of final adjournment is now definitely fixed for October 25.

BUBONIC PLAGUE
 SPREADS TERROR
The Austrian Capital Undergoing Exper-
 fence Of India.

Vienna, October 22.-The outbreak of the bubonic plague, due to the pre-experi- ments in cultivation of the plague bacillus has spread terror at the Austrian capital
 Three cases in addition to that of the late Herr Barish, the assistant in the es- tablishment who contracted the bubonic plague while cultivating the bacillus, have now occurred. They are two nurses in the laboratory another of the assistants, Herr Barish's wife and Dr. Mueller. the physician who attended Herr Barish The last sacrament of the Roman Catho ic church; was administered to the latter and to one of the nurses by priest through a window of the plague cells.
 Dr. Mueller was considered an authority on the plague, having been to Bombay for the purpose of studying it on the spot. and he survived all the dangers there The disease at Vienna has assumed a pheu- moniac form. There are no boils and each case is accompanied by high fever and blood splitting. Extraordinary precautions have now been taken to prevent an epi- demic. The plague patients lie in an iso- lated building, attended by Dr. Pooch, a volunteer physician, and by sisters of charity. They are surrounded by 0 rope across which nobody is allowed to pass pr. Pooch writes the prescriptions and fastens them to the window pane. The doctors outside read them and have them made up. Then the prescriptions are removed by those inside. Food Is conveyed to the patients and their attendants by sisters of charity in a similar manner, and the nurses announce by telephone all changes in the patients condition
 It is feared, however, that the precautions were taken too late. Herr Barish was i'll for thee days before he saw doctor, dur ing which time he lived with his wife and visited wine shops The wife, who has now developed suspicious symptoms, visited in contcat with dozens of persons at her cal circles is tremendous. The well-known chemist, Professor Hoftroth Ludig, has made a pathetic speech, during which he expressed the hope that the doctors Of Vii - .enna will prove themselves equal to all emergencies. This reveals the fact that it is the opinion of medical men at the Aus trian capital that the plague is likely to spread in that city Another significant in- dication of this apprehension is found in the fact that temporary hospital, consist ing of several detached sheds, was hastily erected during the past night behind the infectious hospital 100 men working by torchlight there in order to compelte it as quickly possible.
 painful feature in the Viennese situa- tion is the interruptions attitude of the anti-Semitic papers, which are accusing the Jewish doctors of bringing the plague to Vienna. It is feared that this appeal to the worst passions of the mob will lead to plague riots against the JeNS if the dis ease spreads.

class Is disappointed. scores of parents diss satisfied and blame the teachers In consez quence.
 Mrs Dabney declared that the principle was wrong: that it is false incentive. The High School she said, dispensed with n years ago and has not suffered, and askeds why it should be kept up in the elementary schools. The subject was discussed Af some length. Many of the teachers thought that the honor roll was needed as an in centive, provided the abuses could be eliminated, but the majority seemed of the opinion that the schools were strong enough to dispense with the custom if the public sentiment of the community was strong enough to sustain and follow the schools.4
 Superintendent Philips said he wanted the question agitatea; that a number of other school incentives could be discusseds along with the honor roll, such as half holidays, pupils reports, and monthly workings. He stated that in his. opinion none were abused to the extent of the honor roll; that the honor roll seldom stimulates any but the bright-those who need it most are not affected; the majority of the children would vote it out. He
  honor roll exerted a doubtful influence even upon the favored few. fo say nothing of the hundreds who were disappointed or indif- ferent. For the present he advised the principals to suspend the publication of the honor rolls until the subject shall have been more fully discussed.
 An outline of the course in nature study, with the general methods of presenting the subject, was then given by the superinten- dent. sst
 After the disposition of the payroll, the teachers adjourned to meet again in two weeks. The teachers of the third and fourth grade divisions were called to meet Tuesday afternoon for specific grade work.
 The total attendance upon the schools at present is 3,5OO, aud the number of teachers in charge is eighty-three The present ses- sion both in work and attendance promises to be very successful one.

any facility in reproducing the memory gems learned during the year; that the pupils seemed to rely too little on the memory and too much on the note book Miss Allen suggested that in this particular war should. be made on the note book.
 Miss Thorton, of the High School, com mented upon the work of the entering class in Latin, stating that those who are well prepared in English find little difficulty in their Latin lessons. The present class, she said, shows a distinct advance in dealing with forms the declentions and conjuga- tions in English have been well mastered, but the chief difficulty with many of them is in construction.
 Miss B. A. Allen spoke upon mathematics The chief weaknesses with the class, she said, were want of repidity in calculation and too much looseness in the use of the language of arithmetic. She said that the fundamental rules, common and decimal fractions, percentage and interest, should be so thoroughly mastered that pupils en- tering the High School should be able to give solutions with accuracy and rapidity.
 A general discussion ensued upon the various points suggested. It was the gen. eral opinion of the teachers that more stress should be placed upon memory gems, in connection with English composition. It was suggested that the words of the na- tional anthem and other patriotic selections should be memorized by every child in the schools and not sung from the books.
 Mrs. Dabney, of the Paul Hayne school, made some very strong remarks in oppo- sition to the use of the "honor roll' as d feature of the schools. She thought that the abuse of this incentive to the pupil counterbalanced the uses it subserved; that children were stimulated to work solely Tor the sake of the honor roll, many parents offering to reward their children with money if their names appeared on the, roll while other parents were promising bicy- cIes, watches. suits of clothes and other such prizes. Many of the children, she said are too weak physically and many mre are incapable. mentally of satisfying the ambition of the parent. When the honor roll is published four-fifths of the

PROGRESS OF THE PUPILS

<, Yesterday morning at the High School building the teachers of the public schools of the city held their regular monthly meeting. Aside from the fact that salaries for the month were paid, the meeting was in many respects an interesting one.
 Several topics were discussed relative to the work of discipline and instruction, and helpful suggestions were made to the younger Teachers by the more experienced. The subject of drawing was discussed and the work of the general course outlined by Miss Mary A. Cahalan, principal of the Powell school. Miss W. M. Allen, of the High School, made some suggestive re- marks upon the work of the elementary schools in English, as illustrated by the class of one hundred pupils that has just entered the High School. Miss Allen stat ed that this class on the average indicates distinct superiority over previous classes in English composition, spelling and pen manship; that the vertical writing intro duced into the schools makes the work of the pupils more neat and leglble. Few of the class. she said, however, had shown

sick and aged people were carried to places of safety. Traffic was delayed on every railroad running out of the city.
 The schooner Privera sailed from Matan- gas on October IT with sixty tons of Red Cross supplies for the camp of General Maximo Gomez. These supplies will be landed at Youguay. 1t is understood on reliable authority that a meeting of the commanding officers in Matanzas province of the Cubans will not be held as the camp of Maxine Gomez at Yaguajay, being about the center of the island and easier of approach for the Cuban chiefs from the eastern provinces.
