school,, but it Is probable tina they will
be called before the Grand Jury today
to tell what they know about the
charges tina have been made against the
management.
The "anti-Eylerites'' say that since the
Governors investigation the tEylerites'
have not deigned to break bread in the
morning at the same board with those
officers who gave any testimony reflect
Ing upon Mrs. Eyler. The .antis'' have
been forced to breakfast alone. and so
sparingly was the food served. they say.
that Mrs. Isaac Weatherby. who resigned
from the Board of Lady Managers at the
last meeting, was appealed to. She, in
turn, called. the matter to the attention
of the board, and since then the anti
Eylerftes' say they have been getting
more liberal rations I'm the morning. SO
meagre, they say, was the at
times, that the hungry attaches had to
go to a n~eighboring farmers to satisfy
their appetites, while the "Eyier' FORCES
were living comfortably
The ''antis'' charge that within the past
week Miss Wight and Miss Scott nave
each been forced to take to their rooms
because of Illness, and In neither case, It
is alleged. was food or drink sent to them.
Each of the women remained in bed for a
full day. and was then forced TO so to the
kitchen for nourishment. On the other
hand the "antis's say. Mrs. Maria Sickei
an ''Eylerite," Became Ill a few days la
ter, and she was supplied with broiled
chicken and other delicacies proper for
a sick person.
Prior to the investigation. the "antis'
say, all the newspapers furnished the
school gratuitousIy were placed at the
disposal Of the teachers, but the "antis"
declare they were denied this privilege
after the inquisition. Instead, all the
papers were emascuiated. the stories
about the school being taken out, and
the balance of the paper was thrown
away. Some Of the teachers, DESTROYS of
keeping In touch with the times, subscrib-
ed for newspapers, and Miss Wight, who
subscribed for a local paper, one day
her paper badly mutilated. Inves-
tieation showed that a strong anti-Eyler
had been taken out.
Since the investigation. It is said, black
facility against the anti-Eyler attaches.
These marks are exhibited to the board.
The. 4antis's explain them by saying that
Miss Wight and Miss Harbourt between
them have charge of the family Of the
worst girls in the school. This family is
almost equal in number to the good fam
ily. which has half a dozen instructors.
Consequently the black marks run UP
quickly on Misses wigh and Harbourt.
The laundry. 1t is said, is working over
line. This il in charge of Miss Scott, and
has been for years. Since the inquiry,
the rantis,' saw. every article having the
slightest snof or speck upon it has been
returned and rela undered. and so all along
