per, of the Hospital Board, Ask for
Aid.
Hon. S. S. Jones and President Wall
ker. of the hospital board, returned on
Thursday evening from Harrisburg
where they appeared before the state
Board of Charities with plea for $l1,-
600 for maintaining the Emergency hos
pital for the next two years. They
gave the following figures and facts to
sustain their prayer: In the local hos
pital the actual cost per patient was
S1.S2 week last year, amounting for
twelve months to s7,510.96. Five thou
sand dollars was received from the
state and from other sources S1,766.50,
making a total of s6.7665O. There is
consequently a deficit of S74446 in the
years statement Added to this the
local board expended $1,3S652 for inn
provements and equipments, making
total Indebtedness of $2.1309S. These
were the facts presented by the COM
mittee to the state hospital board.
Several necessary additional improve
ments will have to be made soon, one
being the installation of a sewer. Be-
sides this, new bedding and other
equipments will have to be purchased
and the plaster OH the walls will have
to be renewed. The people of this city
will be appealed to for contributions
for these expenditures. as the state
board does not allow an appropriation
for improvements or extensions.

A Brilliant Success.

The entertainment given by the
Young Mems union last evening was
n brilliant success. The rooms We're
we'll filled with large and appre-
ciative audience, and many fattering
comments were heard regarding the
merit Of the performance. The pro-
gramme was varied and each one who
participated was a player of ack-
nOwldeGed ability.\ Special mention
should be made Of the work Of the
Graham sisters, who carried off the
honors of the evening. Professor J.
Franklin Crowell rendered a either
solo of his own composition. 1t was
entitled "Melancholy,' and so highly
pleased We're his hearers that he was
forced to respond to an encore, de-
spite Of the fact that his was the last
number on the programme. He rem
dered as second selection, Home,
Sweet Home" Miss Eunice Bryson,
who sang 1.-THE Little Faded Flower"
also deserves very creditable mention
for her sweet singing. Little Blodwn
Davis was very fine, as were also Miss

A Battle Royal.

The jubilant Indians, Carbondale's
crack foot ball team, will go TO Scran-
ton today to battle with the st. Thomas
college eleven. who some weeks ago de-
featd the Indian scrub team in this
city by a score too horrible to recollect.
The regular Indian team has ever been
a thorn in the side of the Scrantonlans
and the local players hope to make the
wound still deeper. They will take
along a crowd of rooters and invite ev-
erybody who possibly can to accom-
pany them. The probable line up of
the Redskins will be: Center Hope;
right guard, German; left guard. Sui
livan; right tackle, smith; left tackle,
Mason; right end, McHale; left end.
McLain; quarter back, Murphy; right
half back, Hansen; left half back, John
Hope; full back, Hadgins.

This is not taken into account. Ele

A Petition.

A petition is being circulated by
some OF the friends OF Professor w.
ID. Bryen asking the school board to
reinstate him as principal Of the High
school, 1t Will he remembered that
when Professor Hockenberry was
ousted from the board, Professor Bry-
den, then an under teacher, was elect
ed to the position. Professor Hocken-
berry took the matter before the peo-
pie, and 1t became the most prominent
feature hf the city compaign last
spring. After bitter campaign Hook
enberry and his running mate, Joseph
Gallagher. were elected by overwhelm-
ing odds and Professor Dryden was in
turn ousted by the board. Just pre-
vious to the disqualification of the old
board, Professor Bryden's contract,
which originally was for one year only,
was continued for second year, the
old board passing the matter over the
new board which was about to be seat
ed. The new board refused to abide
by the action of the old board, but
Professor Hockenberry lacked one vote
of getting back his old place, and G.
NJ. Lesher, head of the business de-
partment, was made acting principal.
At the opening of school on Sept. 4
both Mr.. Dryden and Mr.. Lesher were
present. Mr.. Dryden refusing to al
low Mr.. Lesher to assume control Of
the school, as ordered by the new
board. Hockenberry, who had been
elected chairman OF the school board,
secured constable and had him placed
under arrest. Professor Lesher has
since been in charge as acting princi-
pal. Mr.. Dryden Immediately applied
for an injunction to restrain the school
board from interfering with his work,
he claiming his contract was perfectly
valid. The case was tried before Judge
Edwards about two months ago and
the people since have been impatiently
awaiting the decision which was hand
ed down Thursday and which merely
stated that Mr.. Dryden was pursuing
the wrong course to secure redress, as
he should have asked for damages in
stead of for an injunction. 1t is thought
Professor Dryden. IL he fails to be
seated by the board within short
time, will sue for damages His side
of the fight has been eXpounded by 4
number OF men, who are engaged at
present in circulating the petition
above mentioned. The fight has, how
ever reached such an acute stage
that most of the people are wary of
taking either side. Professor Hocken-
berry had petition Of about 5000
names before the board but its prayer
remains unanswered and in all proba-
bility the one now being circulated will
have as little effect, as the members
Of the board are committed to one side
or the other. 1t seems quite likely that
prOfeSSor I.esl1ar will be left in charge
until the election Of a new board, or
until court decides whether or not the
Dryden contract is valid. Many people
argue that both contending parties
should be turned down.
