HALLsTEAD's RESIGNATION.
Reliably Stated That 1t Has Been
rendered and Accepted.

Upon very reliable authority 1t was
reported last evening that the resigna-
ton of w. f. Hallstead from the posi-
ton Of general manager of the Della
ware, I.ackawanna and Western Rail-
road company had been presented to
President Truesdale and accepted. Mr..
Hallstead was not at home and his
verifcation of the report consequently
could not be secured.
The story, however, comes from such
trustworthy source that it can read
lily be given credibility.
The office of general manager Is to
be discontinued, President Truesdale
choosing to deal direct with the divls-
ion superintendents.
Superintendent Garrett Bogart con-
templates resigning as soon as he can
be relieved, his physician having ad-
vised him that he must give up all
active employment.

Nine different builders submitted
bids to the board of control last night
for the contract for the construction of
the two new school buildings, No. 0, of
eight rooms, in the Seventh ward, and
No. 3S, of twelve rooms, in the Tenth
ward. None of the bidders, as far as
could be learned, represented the strik-
ing carpenters. Not all of the bidders,
however, are members Of the Builders
Exchange.
The proposals were for two styles Of
building in each case. One set of plans
contemplates n plain brick building
with pine trimming and flooring. The
other calls for buff pressed brick, red
oak finishing and white maple flooring.
Copper valleys, fashings, etc, instead
of galvanized iron is bid upon as an
extra on No. 3S but it is not included
in the following figures. The bids for
this extra ranged from $49S to $780,

There has been quite calm in the
strike situation for the past two or
three days and the strikers, who pro-
fess to be experienced mariners, say
that 1t presages a storm.
The other side however, still ap-
pears TO be holding it's own. The Sec
retary OF the Builders exchange stated
to q Tribune man yesterday afternoon
that in his opinion the strikers would
soon come to terms. He further said
that every member OF the exchange
stood Just as firm as upon the hrst
day, If not little more so.
a rumor was in circulation Yester-
day to the effect that nearly one hun
dred carpenters had gone back to work
yesterday at the old scale for mem
bers of the Builders exchange. This
assertion was denied in the most en-
phatic terms by Business Agent John
A. Price, of the Building Trades coun-
ell, and business Agent John Knowl-
ton, of the Carpenters unions.
These gentlemen stated that their
roll-books accounted for every striker
and that not even one man, let alone
one hundred, had returned to work.
They also denied the accusation that
some of the contractors who were said
to have granted the demands of the
carpenters had only partly acceded Mr..
Price made the characteristic remark:
"All the demands must be granted or
there positively viii be no settlement.
No halfway proposition will be con-
sidered for a moment"
There Is likely to be some difficulty
In proceeding with the erection of the
new bolt and nut works, where non
union stonemasons are at present lay
ing the foundation. The bricklayers
say that they will not lay single
brick If these men are kept at work.
The difficulties which the stonecut-
ters had with Frank Carlucci have
been satisfactorily settled and the men
are working there as usual with the
exception of those employed cutting
stone for the bank building. These lat
ter were ordered out b. the Building
Trades council and are still out.
There is no change in the situation
as regards the plasterers -tinsmiths
strike, and the final result is not yet
in sight. Several plasterers left the
city yesterday for New York, where
they have obtained work.
The Building Trades council held a
we'll attended meeting last evening in
Carpenters hall, Wyoming avenue
Routine business was transacted, but
the sentiments expressed were heartily
in accord with the stand the council
has taken in sympathy with the strik.

ported upon at an adjourned meeting
to be held next Monday night.
FOR THE KINDERGARTEN.
Hon. Alfred Hand, J. Benz. Dim
mick and Miss Underwood addressed
the board in the interest of the free
kindergartens, and presented request
for an increase in the appropriation Of
1000. Last year $1,000 was allowed.
The board was favorably disposed, but
thought it wise to defer action till Mon
day night, when it is expected there
will be a larger attendance Of mem
bers.
No. school building was finally ac-
cepted. The secretary was instructed
to advertise for bids for sidewalks and
a retaining wall at No. %; a heating
system at No. 81 two additional rooms
at No. "a, and for furnishing coal for
next year.
The board decided to pay all jani-
tors for the full year, in consideration
of their being responsible for the build
ings during vacation. An appropria-
tion of $50 was made as the boards
contribution to the fund to pay the
$4,000 bonus on the South Side sewer
contract.
Chairman Evans, of the finance COM
mlttee, reported that the general school
account was about depleted, and sug-
gested borrowing enough from the
building fund to run the district I'M
til the close of the school year. Cap
tain May pointed out that this was
illegal as the building fund, under the
law, is sacred to building purposes, and
can not be diverted to other uses. In
1897 and 1898 the s31 900 was transferred
from the general fund to the building
| fund, but this did not alter the case in
Captain Mays opinion. The matter
was referred to Solicitor Reedy, and
the finance committee was authorized
to borrow enough money to meet press
ing accounts in the interim.
Warrants were ordered drawn in fa-
vor of the Fairview Land company for
| $2SS.19, and Hon. Alfred Hand for $3.50,
| for overpaid taxes.
Miss Lucy Cooks application for a
| Normal school diploma was approved.

Ex- Justice Willard Bartlett, of the
Appellate Division of New York, recent
ly delivered an address before the Med
ical Association of that state in which
he spoke earnestly on the subject of
Medical expert testimony. He pointed
out that the paid expert witness is apt
to cOnstrue his functions to be those of
an assistant counsel on the side that
employs him. He declared that when
ever this is done "the test imony is par
tisan and of doub tful value" He re-
garded it as violation Of medical
ethics, which, he said, should be as
binding as statute upon every physi-
can. The expert witness, it is true,
has scientific reputation to maintain,
and to that extent is more creditable
than an ordinary hired witness. But
the fact that he testifies for wage
paid by one of the parties to the con-
troversy certainly tends to invalidate
his testimony in all honest minds.

Help the Cause.

There has never been political cam
paign that will equal in Importance
that of the one to be fought next year.
The republican party, backed by the
money power of this country and
Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flush.
ed with the victory Of three years ago
it will seek by every means in Its power
to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war up
on their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher
of the Chicago Dispatch, the great natl
onal democratic weekly, will send to
every new subscriber for three months
a copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten
cents. If you are not already taking
the great political weekly, send in ten
cents at once. You should not only do
this yourself, but you should induce all
your friends to join with you. By a
little effort you can easily raise club
of ten or twenty subscribers.
