SCHOOL TEACHER TO BLAME
PARENTS OBJECT TO HER CHRIS
TlAN SCIENTIST BELIEF.


SHE WAS RETAINED BY A MA
JORlTY OF THE BOARD. HOW
EVER, AND'A NEW BOARD MAY
BE CHOSEN.
West Chester July 2S.-Hopewell
borough is mad all over, and the good
looking public school teacher, Miss
Scott, is said to be responsible for the
unhappy state of affairs. Some weeks
ago she was charged by some of the
patrons of the school as not being a
proper person to teach the children be-
cauc Of her Christian science belief
and affiliations. The matter was ap-
pealed to the school board to have her
put aside and someone else installed
in her place.
This action led TO several warm
meetings OF the directors, and finally a
vote was reached in which Miss Scott
was retained by good solid major
ity OF the board.
Since then the atmosphere there has
been gradually growing more OBJ
scured. only the public indignation
now seems to be as much directed
against the friends OF Miss Scott in the
board as It is towards the woman her
self BY way OF giving vent to this
feeling a meeting OF the citizens was
held Wednesday night and practical
action was taken by selecting a new
board OF directors and by selecting an.
other school room for the purpose OF
opening q school where the children
Of the dissenting faction may be
taught according tozthe wishes OF thelI
parents and as they allege agreeabiy
to the plans and methods ef the public
school idea.
Il in told by one OF the board who
was for Miss Scott. that the cause o
the trouble is not 80 much what Miss
Scott done or left undone. or what sh,
may do inconsistent with the schoo
curricnlum as it is desire on the par
q certain parties to install another
woman in her position
Miss Scott has said openly that she
has done her duty faithfully by oh
serving all the requirements OF pub
lie school board and school laws, no
a single moment permitting her Chris
tian science belize TO enter into he
work, and she adds that she has n,
faith in the dostrines as set forth il
the text books on hygiene and physi
ology, bat she has taught them faith
fully all the while she has been IN tn
school much against the dictates o
her own conscience.

pony.

At this distance and with the slight
exploratory work which has been car
ried on in the Philippine islands, says
the Engineering Magazine, the miner
als that can be prontably exported are
best known. Mr.. George i. Becker in
his recent investigation has given
very clear view Of the present mineral
exploration in the Philippines, and has
shown that gold is found in a great
number OF localities in the archipelago,
from northern Luzon to central Min
danao. In most cases the gold is
detrital, and is found either in existing
water courses or in deposits now de-
serted by the current. IL is said that in
Mindanao some of the grayels are in
an elevated position and adapted to
hydraulic mining. There are no data
NJ hand which indicate decisively the
value of any of the placers, but the
fact that they are washed largely with
cocoanut shells for pans by the natives
is an indication of either rich deposits
or quite coarse gold. In the province
of Abra, at the northern end of Iuzon,
there are placers, and the River Abra
itself yields auriaTous gravel. IN lie
planto there aye gold quartz veins os
we'll as gravels, and here also is the
best developed deposit Of copper ores,
although these are also reported from
great number of localities on the is
lands Of Luzon. Mindoro, Capul, Mas
bate, Panay and Mindanao. Tho last
island is practically unexplored and
fun of possibilities.

CAUSE OF THE ovERDRAFT.

COUNCILMAN SMITH EXPLAINS
WHY $4,000 DEFICIT APPEARED
IN CITY'S FINANCIAL STATE
MENT.
In speaking of the overdraft of
about $4,000 which appeared in the
financial statement of the city for the
fiscal year ending June 30 last. Coun-
Gilman Smith says: People who are
inclined to criticise Council for the
deficit apparently forget several i'm
portant things which went to make up
the overdraft
In the first place, Council was call
ed upon to meet several unexpected
emergencies. The Anderson law suit
cost the city 81 1850 The city was call
ed upon to pay 81 600 for collections
made under the Adams tax law and
the primary elections cost $l,l75.
There were number of other minor
expenditures which were unexpected.
Had the city received the $500 which
IL is entitled to under the investment
tax the overdraft would not have ex-
listed"

Another of those banquets, of which the
Boston Single Tax Club gives series each
year, was served on the 4th at the Hotel
Vendome. Among the guests were the
president of the Massachusetts senate, the
mayor Of Boston, several senators and
representatives, n professor or two and
prominent Patrons of Industry; and the
speaker was Thomas G. Sbearman, who
was introduced by G. B. Fillebrown. The
subject expounded was "Home Rule in
Taxation" Some idea of the headway
this fiscal reform is making in the public
mind at the east, may be gathered from
the following editorial comment upon Mr..
Shearman's speech, which appeared, along
with verbatim report of the speech itself
in the news columns, in the Boston Herald
Of the following day:
"lIis argument is an enforcement of o
line of reasoning to which we have refer
red on several occasions in the past. The
system Of taxation that we have in Boston
IL uniform with that which applies all over
the state, and yet, rs Mr.. Shearman points
out, it works to great disadvantage in
this city in acting as a barrier in the
way of our proper commercial and indus
trial developement
If real estate only were taxed in Boston,
it would be possible to a much greater ex-
tent than ut present, to offer encourage
ment to the location of great manufacturing
establishments within our municipal
borders. We believe, if the local option
principle were in force, that q majority Of
the citizens of Boston could easily be per-
suaded to make this change in our tax
system, realizing the immense advantage
that would result from its application. -
The Public.

In his New York speech, recently, VIM
j. Bryan said
"The Republican party is putting tho
dollar above tho man in all of its legisla
tion, and nowhere is it more apparent than
in matters of taxation. The war has shown
that when this government deals with pro
perty its power is limited. 1t can draft
tho citizen, but it cannot touch the dollar.
In the hour of peril the nation can take the
son from his mother and the husband from
his wife and stand them up in front Of an
enemy's gun, but it dare not lay its finger
upon the wealth of the rich and make them
contribute their share.
my friends, why should not the people
be willing to bear their share of the bur
dens of government. If, in time of war,
your country needs you, you are willing to
give your life's blood, why deny the nation
It's just duo in time of peaceP
"It has been the history Of the world
that those who can make much have been
unwilling to bear their share of the bur
dens of government, and have songht to
use the instruments of government for pri
vate gain to take from those who can make
less than they can.
''rhe Democratic party is also n pro-
tector of the rich and poor, and that party
which makes the rich bear their share of
the burden is better friend of the rich
man than the party which takes his money
and sells exemption.

it is established that there have been $50,

Alexandria, April 17.--Last night about
8 O clock burglars tried to effect an EN-
trance into the residence of Mr.. William
Irving, in the lower portion Of tho city.
Mr.. Irving was absent from home and his
wife was alone with several small children.
She heard noise as If some one was try
ing to break in. She began an invetiga-
tion, and looking in the direction from
which the sound came, saw some one
working at the transom over the door from
the outside. She could see the man &
hands plainly, and porcured shotgun
loaded with fine shot and fred through
the transom. The thief immediately fed,
but it is evident that the contents of the
gun struck him on the hand ms blood was
discovered on the gallery after his depar-
ture and also on the gate through which he
made his exit.

United States Senator Matthew Quay, of
Pennsylvania, commonly known in political
circles as "B,ss Quay for his great inhu-
ence in controlling Republican party poll
tics in his State, is now on trial at Phila-
delphia on charges of felonious crime.
It was clsimed that he conspired with
the treasurer of the State and the cashier
of the Peoples Bank, in which the State s
deposits were kept, to loot the bank.
The Senator's counsel made desperate
fight to exclude the banks books from
being admitted as testimony. but Judge
Biddle, who is trying the case. ruled that
the books should be used. This is consid-
cred u heavy blow to the accused, as it is
charged that the books will show that
heavy loans for which no interest was ex-
acted and which have never been paid,
were made to the Senator on the faith Of a
letter from State Treasurer Haywood, in
which he promised to keep big balance
Of the States money in the bank on con
dition that the loans were made. The
bank was found to have been stripped of
its money; Quay unsecured notes for hum
dreds of thousands Of dollars were found
in the otherwise empty vaults, and the
cashier, Hopkins, committed suicide.
Such is the general situation on which
Quay is being prosecuted.
