MooDY'S OWN METHODS.
Renting Pews and Gathering UP
Recruits from the Streets.

William Il. Moody, in writing for
the Saturday Evening Post the life of
his father Dwight l.. Moody, tells
many good stories of the famous evan
gelist. In one he says: "As a boy in
Northfield he had achieved remark
able results in swelling the attendance
at the sunday school. and so. arguing
from that, he conceived the idea that
he could be of much value to Ply
mouth church as a recruiting agent.
Having come to this decision he hired
pew with the understanding that he
was to fill it each Sunday. Like ev-
erything else he undertook, he fulfill
ed his commission with intense earn
estness and enthusiasm. lie did not
wait for .he young men to come to
church, but he went after them, stop
ping them on street corners, visiting
them in their lonely rooms, and even
calling them out of saloons. 1t was
altogether new and strange and the
novelty of the whole work had an ire
sistiblc effect, with the consequence
that in short time young Moody was
renting six pews which he filed with
his strange and motley guests.
There was little mission on North
Wells street and he applied for a class.
He was told that the sixteen teachers
were amply able to instruct the twelve
scholars, but if he would provide his
own class they would be very glad 20
have him. This was just what Mr.
Moody wanted. Next Sunday there
was a sensation. Young Moody opcne /
the door and led in a procession of
eighteen little 'hoodlumS' whom he
had gathered from the streets"

OFF FOR THE KLoNDIKE.
A Brother of Miss Belinda Mulrooney
Has Gone to the Far North.

Patrick Mulrooney, of Salem street, a
son of Mr.. and Mrs John Mulrooney
and brother of the famous Belinda
Mulroonev, the richest woman in the
Klondike, has gone there to seek his
fortune. He left here on Thursday for
New York city, where he will meet his
sister and together they will leave i'm
mediately for the North. Mr.. Mu!-
rooney has been induced to go there
by his famous sister.
Miss Mulrooney has been in Europe
for several months and has just re-
turned to America. She had expected
to come here to see her relatives, but
found it impossible to do so. She leaves
for the Klondike by a New York rail-
road and does not come near this val
ley at all. There are many here who
would be glad to see her. but they are
doomed to disappointment by her de-
cision to start at once for the North.--

building committee.
On the recommendation of the teach
ers committee. it was decided to close
the schools Friday, June 22.
Mr.. Gibbons entered protest against
the action of the building COMMITTEES
in awarding contracts for steel ceilings
in the three new buildings without COM
petitive bids being invited. but did not
oppose the payment of the bills.
The Summit Avenue Presbyterian
church and the Court Street Methodist
Episcopal church were granted the use
of room in No. 20 building on Sun
days. Captain May contended this was
illegal, but when Secretary Fellows, at
the request of Mr.. Gibbons, read from
State Superintendent Schaeffer's COM
ments on the school laws. that school
buildings should not be permitted to
be used for any other thas innocent
purposes tending to the Improvement
of the youth of the land, Captain May
was left to vote singly and alone.
Solicitor d. j. Reedy was instructed.
at the suggestion of President Jayne,
to proceed with the preparation of the
new bonds.
Prior to the meeting a delegation of
the primary and intermediate teach
ers waited on the teachers committee
and presented arguments in support of
their claim for an increase of Sl5 a
month for those of their number who
have been teaching aver fifteen years.
They, at present, receive S55 a month.
The increase would not amount to $500
month. as there are only about half
a hundred of the teaching CORPS who
would be entitled to the raise.

Fourteen mills of levy and a 100000
issue of AZ per cent. bonds was decided
upon last night by the board of control
as the means of meeting the school dis
trict Indebtedness for the coming year.
Captain May opposed the bond issue,
characterizing IL as a subterfuge to
hide the boards extravaganza, and
saying that the only honest method
would be to declare a nineteen mill
levy, confess to the people that the
board has been extravagant, and prom
ise that it won't occur again.
Captain May and Mr.. Schreifer were
the only members to vote against the
bond issue, though Mr.. Barker, it was
understood. only voted for it that he
might be in position to move for re-
consideration it favorable opportun-
ity arrived. Those who voted in its

Three hundred miners and labortrs
employed by Jermyn e Co. at their No
1 mine, at Old Forge. went on strike
yesterday morning. throwing as many
more men and boys out of employment.
No. 2 coliery was shut down about
three weeks ago, when rumors of d
strike were prevalent at that place.
About 600 men and boys are also en-
ployed at that place.
These are the collieries at which the
men went on strike last october. The
strike was finally settled late in No
vember. An effort was made to oper-
ate the mines without the aid of the
strikers during last fall, but they re-
sisted and deputy sheriffs had to be
employed to protect the workmen. The
killing of Police officer Patrick Raj
ferty and the serious injury to Officer
Thomas McKenna by Thomas Luddon
who was convicted of murder two
weeks ago, were an indirect result of
the strike.
When seen yesterday afternoon, Jc-
seph j. Jermyn. of the firm of Jermy II
& Co., refused to make any statement
concerning the strike. II don't think
the public are interested in this at ALL
he said, land I must refuse to make
any statement with reference, to it."
