The Wood Pewec's Song.

Mr.. Henry W. Oldys, who has made
q scientific study Of bird songs, says
that the most remarkable instance OF
appreciation of form in music comes
from the wood-pewee, bird whose
structural development is not sut1i-
ciently advanced to entitle it to be
classed among the real song birds.
Analysis OF the ballad in human music
shows that repetition plays an i'm
portant part. and that tho few phrases
that are required to make a song have
a certain symm etrical arrangement.
The wood-pewee. with no other mater
ial than those. few plaintive. discon'
nected phrases that haunt the mid
summer woods. has constructed cn the
ballad plan a set devotional piece for
its morning and evening or.sons.
which it sings over and over in strict
time, as though here were so many
verses that had to be rendered before
II could utter the final amen.

REORGANIZATION OF
BOARD OF CONTROL

The Board of Control OF the Scranton
school district reorganlzed last night
FOR the fiscal year 1902. John Gibbons
was reelected president of the board,
Major Il. ID. Fellows, secretary and At
torney ID. j. Reedy, solicitor All of
the elections were by unanimous con-
sent.
Mr. Gibbons has the honor of being
the first man who was ever elected to
succeed himself as president OF the
board after having served for full
term. Members have served more than
one term, but not consecutively, and
Mr.. Jayne after filling the chair for
part of a term was chosen to succeed
himself but to Mr.. Gibbons belongs the
distinction of occupying the chair for
full term and then being chosen
unanimously as his own successor for
another year.
Major Fellows was elected secretary
for the tenth consecutive year and At
torney Reedy enters upon his fifth year
as the boards solicitor.
When the old board met last night
for its final meeting George Shires of
the First ward was the only one of the
retiring members present. Louis
SchWasS, feter NeulS ana captain w.
A. May did not answer the roll call.
The minutes of Monday nights meet
ing were read and approved and Chair
man Gibbons thanked the members for
their many acts Of kindness to him dur
ing the year and the support they had
so willing given him in transacting the
business affairs of the board.
r. ]. Jennings paid a tribute to the
departing members, dwelling particu-
larly on the distinguished services of
Captain w. A. May who was Mr. Jen-
nings colleague during the year on the
high and training school committee.
Mr.. Jennings said that Captain May
will be greatly missed and that it is
good to know that he is to be succeeded
by his distinguished predecessor, w. j..
Welsh, who, during his previous term

SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.
Important Information That People
Generally Should Become
Acquainted with.

In view of the fact that an outbreak
among dogs of rabies, canine madness
or hydrophobia, has unfortunately ap-
peared in this city, and also that an Or
der has been issued from the depart
fnent of public safety requesting own
ers to muzzle their dogs whenever the
latter are allowed to run at large, it
seems apropos to inform the public
concerning a most important phase Of
the matter, viz: A clear description OF
the symptoms shown by mad dog,
that owners may be assisted to d;stin-
guish clearly between symptoms of
| rabies and those harmless diseases
from which dogs may suffer.
Rabies appears in one of two forms,
viz, the dumb or paralytic; the furious
or irritable. The former may early be
dscerned by paralysis of the lower jaw.
Because the jaw drops the dogs mouth
is constantly open. Saliva runs freely
from the mouth because the victim is
powerless to swallow it. AS a rule this
kind of Il mad dag is quiet and tran
quill 1t seeks 4 quiet place and lies
there, but appears dull and dazed The
dog cannot bite because of the par
| alyzed jaw, hence is not dangerous.
But if a person should put his hand in
the animals mouth and 1t was cut by
the dogs teeth the result would be
the same as il bitten. Occasionally an
active case of dumb rabies is seen. In
it's extreme restlessness the dog trots
about, a piteous, woe-begone expression
on its face, the mouth open and its
lower jaw paralyzed. AS the disease
progresses paralysis extends to legs
back and entire body, when the dog
dies.
In some outbreaks more cases in this
class occur, than of the furious kind.
AS such cases are comparatively harm
less from beginning to end of the at
tack. this is indeed fortunate. This
class usually die from the fifth to the
seventh day Occasionally the time is
less-sometmes is extended

on the board proved himself a most eff
ficient member. After Mr.. Jennings
remarks the board adjourned sine die
and the secretary called the roll of the
new board. The new members were
w. B. Christmas. First ward w. J..
Welsh. Ninth ward: Otto Robinson,
Eleventh ward; Peter Ref, Nineteenth
ward. The reelected members were
Fl. j. O'Malley, Third ward; j. Fl. Phil
lips Fifth ward; D. j. Roche, Seventh
ward; B. Y. Jayne, Thirteenth ward; E.
L. Evans, Fifteenth ward; E. ]. Leon
ard, Twenty first ward.
On motion of A l.. Francois, d. J..
Roche was elected temporary chairman
and Major Fellows was made tempor-
airy secretary. Nominations for chair
man were called for and Y. j. Jennings,
who nominated Mr.. Gibbons one year
ago, again placed him in nomination.
He referred to the fact that Mr.. Glib
bons was a member of the first school
board of the city of Scranton which met
Twenty-Five years ago and of which
Hon. William Connell was president.
He has not been in the service contin-
uously ever since but has given many
years of faithful service to the board
Never during the history of the board,
said Mr.. Jennings, was the office of
president so we'll administered as dur
ing the year just closed.
Mr. Gibbons is abundantly supplied
with common sense and gives his at
tention to the duties of his office. 1t
was fitting that the board should confer
upon him an honor never before con-
ferred upon a member that of electing
him to a second consecutive term as
president of the board.
The nomination was seconded by r.
S. Barker, who said that one year ago

DIED BY HIS OWN HAND,
Illness and Inability to Get EN-
ployment Drove Frank Lesh to
Suicide-Shot Himself in Head.

Frank Lesh, aged AZ, a carpenter,
committed suicide yesterday morning
by shooting himself in the head, in
his bed room at the family home, Ills
Albright avenue. Long standing illness
and inability to secure employment are
assigned by his friends as causes which
drove him to the deed.
He was abed yesterday morning at

hold work and called to her to inquire
if their older son had gone to work.
She answered that he had and few
minutes later went into the back yard
with their younger son to attend to
some work.
The boy who was first to return to
the house called to his mother that he
smelled powder smoke. His mother
thought it was sulphur from the stove,
but on examination proved her surmise
incorrect. Then the true cause of the
smell, like a flash, came to her mind.
and pushing open the door of her hus-
bands first-foor bed room, discovered
him dead in bed with a bullet hole in
his right temple.
He was under the quilts lying on his
back and his right hand, clutching a
32-calibre revolver, rested at his hip.
1t is supposed he waited until he was
alone in the house, arose, took the re-
volver from the bureau drawer and re-
turning to bed shot himself. The bull
let tore a large Jagged hole in the
temple and probably lodged against the
opposite wall of the skull.
The family say he has been melan-
choly for twelve years, on account of

MAY ELECT YOUNG GOLDEN.
chool Board Is Disposed to Take
Such Action.

There is a lively struggle on the part
n number of residents of the Sixth
ward for the vacancy caused by the
death of Patrick Golden. the school
controller from that ward. Among
those seeking the honor are P. j. Mur-
ply. Peter Walsh. William O'Malley,
Joseph Drury and James O'Malley. The
school board elects man to fill the
office until next springs election and
then the voters elect for the remain
ing year of the term.
So many candidates have appeared
on the scene that the members of the
board are likely to elect Michael Gold
en-, son of the deceased controller. un-
less the citizens of the ward get to-
gether and give expression to their
choice. There is talk of calling a eau

by Mr.. Melvin, the guests being seated
at one long table in the main dining

A number of very brief informal adj

he cast one of the votes that made the
election of Mr.. Gibbons possible. The
latter had made a most fair and inn
partial chairman and he was glad to
vote for him again because he believes
he will continue the policy he followed
during last year, No one else was
nominated and Mr.. Gibbons was elect
ed by the unanimous vote of the body.
In taking the chair Mr.. Gibbons made
a graceful little speech in which he said
his reelection was the greatest of the
many honors that had come to him
during life.
Dr. John O'Malley re-nominated Ma

MEN HAVE NOT DETERIoRArED
They Produce More Coal Per Man Fer
Day, Not Less. as Charged.


Referring to the assertion of the op-
orators that the men have deteriorated
in their productive ability, which is
taken by Mitchell as dodge that the
L. NJ. W. makes poorer workmen, the
statement says: From 1890 to 1900,
inclusive, the mines were in active
operation an average of 1S2 days per
year and for each person employed
there were produced 363.5S tons of coal
per year. or for each day the mines
were in operation 2.16 tons We're pro-
duced per empIoye; while in the year
1901, againstS which the operators
so bitterly complain, the mines
were in operation 1912 days,
and there were produced 4I0.43
tons for each person employed.
OF for each day the mines We're in OPP
Grafton 2.36 tons We're produced per
cmploye; thus showing conclusively
that instead of Il deterioration there
was a decided Improvement in the pro-
ductivc capacity of the men after they
became thoroughly organized
The railroad presidents contend that
they cannot increase wages without
making corresponding increase in
the selling price of their product to the
consumer; and have accused the mine
workers of suggesting a proposition
that would impose hardship upon
the public by increasing the market
price of coal 10 cents Il ton, the
amount that would have been re-
quircd to met all the demands made
by the miners: however, their Solicitude
for the public veal has not deferred
them from advancing the market price
of their coal more than 81 per ton
since the strike was inaugurated, with
out giving any part of this increase to
the mine workers.
In subStantiation of the claim that
the coal companies can afford to pay
increased wages TO the mine workers
without increasing the cost of coal to
the consumers. Mitchell submits ex-
tracts from government reports which
show that during the eleven years,
1890 1900. the average home value of
all coal mined and sold was S1.4S per
ron. while the average price
for the marketed anthracite coal--that
is. the product shipped to market or
sold to local trade-was S1-S4, the
highetst figure obtained since 1888. In
other words while. according to Presi-
ident Olyphant, Is cents per ton rep
