KOWALSKY MISTAKEN

Colonel Henry 1. Kowalsky came within
an ace of getting ''pinched" late Sunday
evening, but in justice to the colonel it
might be said that he was thoroughly in
nocent of the position he occupied
Sunday evening the colonel dropped his
portly form into a box in the Orpheum.
There was seated in the dress circle of the
theater a young man who from his ear

walSky has lost about twenty-five pounds
within the last few months and Frenna
has gained a similar amount of avoirdu-
pois. Both now are about the same size,
both sport a black fringe on the upper
lip and both wear clothes. During the
long play the eyes Of the young man
seldom wandered to the stage, and when
the colonel finally left the theater he was
shadowed by his discoverer. Kowalsky
didn't know it, and advanced along the
pavement. He drew a card from his
pocket and looked around the cabs for a
familiar number. 1t wasn't there, so he
continued along OFarrell street, turned
into Powell and continued his course to

MRS. EMILY WHALLEY BEANS
TON SECURES a JUDGMENT.
She Can Keep Both Her Husband and
Her Position as a Teacher in
the Department by Order
of Court.

Judge Seaweu handed down an opinion
Yesterday morning in which he holds that
the marriage of teacher does not act
as disqualification and that the marriage
OF teacher is not valid ground for dis
missal at the hands Of the Board of Edu-
cation. This decision was reached in the
case Of Mrs. Emily Whalley Beanston
against the Board of Education. in which
the plaintiff sought a writ of mandate to
compel the board TO reinstate her as
teacher in the department.
On August 81, 1892, the plaintiff, being an
unmarried woman, was appointed
teacher in the day substitute class. On
April II, 1895, she was a probationary
teacher, the duties Of which position were
April, 1886 when she was elected a regu-
lar teacher in the School Department and
assigned to the Hawthorne Primary at
salary OF S62 30 q month. Upon her cleo
tion the plaintiff entered upon the per
tormance of her duties and occupied the
position until August. 1899, when, by reSO-
luton, she was removed from her posi-
Ilon, the ground assigned by the Schooi
Board for its action being that on June
%. 1899 the discharged teacher had mar
ried George A. BeanstOn.
In passing on the merits of the issues
involved the court says: "N nen the plain
tiff was appointed 4 substitute teacher
there was d rule of the Board Of Educa-
ton TO the effect tEat whenever a female
teacher marrieS her position in the de-
partment becomes vacant. This rule was
repealed on May %. 1885 and when plain
tin was elected as a regular teacher there
was no such rule in force. The rule was
again adopted July 2. 1896, and has not
since been expressly repealed. Section
1873 as amended in 1898 provides that
teachers when elected shall be dismissed
only for INSTRUMENTATION or other causes
as mentioned in section 1871 Of the code,
fay r5 eeEined @ and n proved by the
mentioned in section 1871 are immoral
conduct unproIessiOnal conduct, pTOfan-
itv. intemperance and evident unfitness
for teaching The marriage of a female
teacher not being included in the cate
CORY mentioned in either of the sections
cited is not sufficient cause for her dis
missal. Whether the board has the power
by contract Of employment to limit the
term Of service of a female teacher TO
such time as she may remain unmarried
is a question not presented by the issues
of this case and not necessary for me to
decide
In conclusion the court orders a writ
Of mandate to issue, reinstating the plain
tiff and ordering her salary allowed and

CARTER FAILED
To REMEMBER
HIS PROMISES
Estate Sued by Mary
E. Redmond.

By the filing of an answer yesterday
issues have been joined in the suit insti-
tuted by Mary E. Redmond against the
estate of the late Thomas Carter, in
which the plaintiff seeks to recover $40, 900
damages for alleged breach of promise on
the part of the deceased capitalist. Inc
case will now go to trial, and the world
will hear the story of the amours of the
dead car-builder of Newark.
In the complaint in this action the
plaintiff alleges that in June of 1896 she
instituted suit against Carter to recover
$50 900 damages for breach of promise.
Carter negotiated with her for a settle
ment and finally she agreed to accept $4,000
and a promise that he would leave her
$40 900 by his will Carter died, the plain
tiff was not mentioned as a devisee, and
hence she seeks to recover the sum named
from his estate
In the answer filed yesterday Martin
Carter, executor of his brothers will,
after entering general denial to the
various allegations of Miss Redmond, sets
forth in defense an alleged waiver of all
claims against the dead signed and issued
by the plaintiff. This document reads:
Know all men by these presents: That I,
Mary Z. Redmond, for and in consideration of
the of $4,000 and other valuable considera-
tion to me in hand, paid this day by Thomas
Carter, the receipt whereof is hereby admitted
and acknowledged, have remised, released and
forever quitclaimed unto Thomas Carter from
all manners of actions and demands whatso-
ever including any and all agreements and
promises of marriage (Which said agreements
and promises of marriage and to marry said
Thomas Carter hath now and forever denied)
and any and all claims of. and for, support
and maintenance, by reasons of any inter-
course or association L may ever have had with
him any other claims and I further prom
ise and agree not to begin any suit against
Thomas Carter in any court for any matter
whatsoever, nor to consult nor engage any at
torney in that behalf.
1t is said that as the date of the in
strument precedes the date of the filing
of the suit during Carter's life to recover
$50, 000 it being dated July 10, 1894, 1t
will not stand as valid defense in plain
tiff'S action.
