HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The graduating class OF this year is intent
upon being remembered In coming years, IS is
shown by the liberal manner in which every
member Of the class contributed toward the
purchasing OF a suitable present to leave with
the high SCHOOL, Monday morning there stood
on the platform three magnificent busts OF three
most prominent writer's in the worlds history,
namely, Homer, Virgil and Shakespeare. The
presentation speech made by Mr.. Kilcullen was
a splendid effort. He stated that in thus be-
slowing upon the institution the gifts, the gradu'
ating class wished to leave an impression upon
the minds OF the students who succeed them;
that they have appreciated the instruction which
they have received during the four years work.
Furthermore, that other graduating classes
might follow their example and leave some fit
token for the esteem in which they hold ths
Scranton High school. Professor Grant made
some fitting remarks in reception Of the gifts.
The busts Of Homer and Virgil are placed on
either side OF the main entrance to the audi
torum and in plain sight Of every person en-
terng the building 1t has not yet been fully
decided in what part Of the school the bust oi
Shakespeare will be placed
1t may be Of interest to Scrantonans and espe
cially students Of the High school to know that
a graduate Of the school took a prominent part
in the study OF the recent eclipse. This gen

PAY OF sPELLMAN AND JONES
Mayor Credits Them with Only
Seventeen Days For MAY.

D~1 4 VI uAoy'
Mayor hoir In sending in the May
time Of the various police officers yes
terday. credited Lieutenant Spellman
and Patrolman I. F. Jones with only
seventeen days each, or UP to the
Thursday night that both were re-
moved by him from the force.
The local court recently decided in
a litigation growing out Of an effort
made by eI-Patrolmen Dyer and Saul
to recover salary due them from the
time of their removal from the force
until said removal was confirmed by
select council, that they were entitled
to such salary, the mayor under the
law not being allowed to remove off,
GERS without the concurrence OF coun-
ell.
It was learned yesterday that City
Solicitor Vosburg, acting under in
structlons from the mayor, has appeal
ed from this decision to the Superior
court. An effort was made early this
year to have = resolution adopted by
councils directing that this appeal be
taken, but the resolution was killed.
AS the Superior court does not meet
again until next fall, It Is reasonable
to suppose that Spellman and Jones
will have TO wait until a decision is
handed down in the case.
