of $4,000 mine workers to act as depu-

TEACHERS VOICED
THEIR INDIGNATION
They Say That the Board of Control
Is Wrongfully Imposing Burden
some Duties Upon Them.

The order of the board of control re-
lating to the new arrangement of keep
ing tab on supplies has created a great
disturbance among the teachers, and
Saturdays meeting, when the system
to be employed was explained, was
practically resolved into an indignation
meeting. The teachers declare that the
new plans are an imposition.
They declare that they are already
Over-burdened by detail and routine
work. and that any further addition to
their duties is not right. Many COM
plain that so much out of school work
is crowded upon them in the onerous
system Of examinations that nights
and Sundays are employed in keeping
abreast with what is expected of them.
To have this extra service demanded
is the last straw.
Under the recently contrived regula-
tions each teacher must keep a day
book and ledger account with each
child, and each principal OF building
not only must do the same with the
pupils in her room. but must also
keep a day book and ledger account
with every teacher in the building.
When every minute of the day is occu-
pied with the many recitations, it
leaves no time for this troublesome
task, the teachers says. 1t is claimed
that If the board desires to make a
closer record of the distribution of sup
plies. assistants should be provided to
do the bookkeeping.
The subject has been agtated be-
cause Of alleged waste Of the supplies
by children. The committee claims
that some pupils received as many as
four or FIVE pencils, etcetera, when
they should have been allowed but
one, and limit is proposed to regulate
the distributions. One case was dis
covered where a small boy was dlscov-
cred going home with eight Dixon
pencils, and this was reasonably
enough considered to be very wrong.

STRIKE REFERRED TO
IN MANY PULPlTS

Rev. Or. James Mcleod, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, in the
course of his sermon yesterday morn
ing on the theme, THE Rich Fool"
had the following to say regarding
the impending strike:
THE existing evils of our social con-
ditions are not to he chiefly found in
organized strikes or in the acts of
mobs but in Goddess homes, loVeless
marriages, desecrated Sabbaths and
unread Bibles. There would be no or
ganized strike and none of the evils

in Pittston yesterday conducting mass
meetings and endeavoring to strength

this morning at the Lehigh Valley

Tomorrow afternoon the executive
board of District No. | of the Mine
Workers will confer with committees
called from each local union of the
district to arrange plans for keeping
the headquarters in close touch with
every portion of the district
1t is intended to have these sub
committees of the local union report
in person or by phone each morning

officers of the union can thus keep

Sales of Firearms.
Large purchases of firearms of the
smaller variety have been made during
the past week. Most of the orders
came from the store-keepers up and
down the valley. The demand was
such as to exhaust the stock of several
of the large Scranton dealers and oc-
casion hurry-up acquisitions on the
manufacturers. Large sized revolvers
of expensive make comprised the gen
eral run of orders. This would make
it appears that it is not the miners
who are investing in the weapons.

braces so much of the anthracite region

At DeSmet, yesterday, he sold LIB tracts,

almost universally successful career, gave
him perfect confidence in himself. and at
times he was arrogant and overbearing. g.

John Calhoun, and many others. He had
contended, in generous emulation. with Har-
din, Baker. Logan and Browning: and had
very often met Douglas, conflict with
whom he always courted rather than
Stunned. His speeches, as we read them
to-day, show more familiar knowledge of
the slavery question than those of any other
statesman of our country. This is especl-
ally true of the Peoria speech and the
Cooper Institute speech. Lincoln was
powerful in argument, always sciZlng the
strong points, and demonstrating his
propositions with a clearneSS and logic
approaching the certainty of mathematics.
He had, in wit and humor, a great ad-
vantage over Douglas. Then, he had the
better temper: he was always good humored.
while Douglas, when hard pressed, was
sometimes irritable. Douglas perhaps,
carried away the more popular applause.
Lincoln made the deeper and more lasting
impression. Douglas did not disdain an

Gives a Few Points About Blakely as He

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: VIII yOu
permit an old rebel TO answer E. A. Stone
burners account of the Blakely (Ala.,
battle in your excellent paper of the issue
of Nov. 80? 1t will be in the very best OF
feeling. Brother Stoneburner is incorrect
as TO the Notifications of the Ccnfederates.
He says the Union troops first drove us from
the rifie-pits advance line) at the point OF
the bayonet, when it was only from the
videt-holes about four or five rods apart,
with brush-fence between t0keeD the Union
lists from seeing us pass from one hole to
another, that We moved from; and instead
of being driven out at the point of the bayO-
net at the first sight of the attacking
column we fired and retired to the main
line, at least 300 yards in front of the Union
bayonetS.

before, and was close to the main road on
which the ambulance-train came up from
the east after the Union dead and wounded,
and could not help experiencing more than
was pleasant.
Another error Brother Stoneburner
makes is in speaking of nine forts | think
there were none (real forts). | was there
only five days, including Sunday, and was
not around the entire works, but saw quite
a lot of the north and center. Our main
line defenses were rifle-pitS, made well of
earth and timber, and at intervals much
stronger built out of the same material, to
protect our heavy artillery; in front of the
artillery they did look like forts, but in the
rear looked different.
Brother Stoneburner says that on the
night of April our men made sally in
force to break through the Union lines and
escape. We never went over there to es-
cape. 1t was to stay the progress of the
Yankees and keep them from getting into
Mobile. The Union and rebel commanders
both knew the rebels were holding a key to
Mobile. We had plenty of gunboats and
other vessels that could have carried us
into Mobile as late as the night of the Sth;
but we knew if we left, Mobile would be
occupied i'll less than As hours, as it was
after Blak kelly was taken. The sally could
not have been more than a little demonStra-
ton, for what purpose do not know but we
certainly had no officer of any rank who
thought that We could break through the
Union lines and escape via the Union rear
L was asleep near the center of our main
line, and there was not sufficient noise made
by the party making the sally TO awaken
me. Our regiment surrendered April 8,
little before sunset, on the same ground

says the sally was made.
