TEACHERS WANT $40
MORE each MONTH
Made Demand for Flat Increase
Before the Teachers Commit
tee Last Night.

The teachers committee of the
board OF control met last night and
conferred for nearly two hours with a
committee of fifteen teachers on the
salary question.
There were five teachers present from
the primary. intermediate and gram
mar grades respectively. Principals
David Owens Of No. 13 and John e.
O'Malley of No. 15 acted as spokesmen.
The teachers, they said, desire that the
board grant them a fiat increase of $40
per month each.
At first blush this might not seem to
be fair all round, it was pointed out,
but an analysis of the figures show
that it is. The increase for the teach
ers receiving the smallest salaries
namely. those receiving $35, $40 and
s45 a month, would amount to IS Al,
% and 22 20 per cent. respectively. The
increase for the teachers receiving
higher salaries would amount to very
considerably less on a percentage basis.
The increase for principals, whose SAL
aries now average $3.50 would be only
II 10 per cent
The total net amount of the increase
asked for year would be about S3o,-
UOU. ms IS considerably less than the
total amount of the increase proposed
by President Gibbons plan though the
latter does not contemplate as big an
increase for the grammar and inter-
mediate teachers as it does for the
primary teachers.
The committee will meet to decide
upon the question on Monday night.
1t is safe to assume that the plan pro-
posed by the teachers will not be adopt
ed in it's entirety.

FEATURES OF THE BIG CIRCUS.
What the Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers Show Has to Offer.

1t is impossible to name all the fea-
lures Of a great combination Of two
great shows such as the Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers Enormous
Shows United without consuming far
more space than is at command here.
Briefly as is possible some of the lead
ing features are given with the idea
to convey at least some idea Of their
extraordinary magnitude this year.
Although distinctly a circus in all
that the word legitimately implies it
may be as we'll to start off with their
great military features. the Illinois in
fantry that has marched throughout
Europe carrying aloft the flag Of the
free and justly earning the title, "The
Best Drilled Soldiers in the World
the Aurora Zouaves. Then come the
twenty-three champion bareback rid
ers of the world, for whom the man.
agement makes the claim seriously
that no other show has the equal to
any one of them, and including Dallie
Julian, the only living lady somersault
rider, and Emma Stickney. the lovely
daughter of the famous "Apollo Belve-
dere of the Arena" Robert Stickney
under whose watchful eye she rides
at every performance. She is regarded
as the greatest whirlwind rider Of her
sex.
Minting. the Marvel, is indisputably
the worlds very greatest athlete and
only unicyclist who can and does ride
up and down high spiral tower on the
single wheel Of a bicycle. Three great
troupes of French acrobats are the five
De Luccas. the four La Monies and the
five st. Icons, an aggregate Of aero
batic talent such as has never been
seen before in America. The Jackson
family cycling septette are the greatest
troupe of bicycle riders, trick and
fancy in the world.
The quartette of cakewalking horses
are the best-trained horses in the world
and their performance is beyond all
comparison the prettiest ever done by
horses. The sensational Starr, the
Shooting Star. rides down seventy
nine foot ladder from the top of the
tent upon an ordinary bicycle. Four
great herds OF elephants include the
famous Forepaugh dancing pachy-
derms. The ten Potters give the great
est aerial act on earth, and the title
is no mere figure of speech but solid
fact. The contingent of clowns Is the
largest and merriest ever seen. and in
all the standard features Of the circus
these shows have the very best of their
respective kinds. All sorts of trained
animals are also on the programme; a
superb parade ushers in the day: a
mammoth menagerle is the beginning
of an exhibition that all ought to see
when it exhibits here on Tuesday, May

A Much Talked-of Improvement.

The stir the New Jersey Centrars re-
cent announcement made in regard to
its hourly trains between New York
and Philadelphia was far reaching.
Very few cities can boast of such Il
train schedule and the beauty Of it is,
that it's easily remembered-a train
every hour on the even hour from a.
m. to 6 p. m.
The locomotives, cars and Pullman
cars are the most modern, the roadbed
is rock ballasted, and as only hard coal
is used there is no smoke or cinders.
Every train runs direct to Reading
Terminal, Philadelphia, without change
and many of them cover the distance in
two hours The Reading route by which
the Philadelphia line is often known, is
not only short way to Philadelphia,
but it is likewise the scenic route. This
service goes into effect on May IS. but
in no way does it impair the fast and
elegant service of the Royal Blue line,
which will run Independently of the
Philadelphia line. +"

NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM.

1t is proposed to establish in police
headquarters a complete switchboard
making connection with ten telephones
in various parts of the city, in addition
to the telephones already IN use in the
several police stations.
This new switchboard and new
phones are intended to supplant the
present system with its five or six
patrol boxes and consequent inferior
advantages. With ten patrol boxes,
headquarters can he reached from
every part of the city. An ordinance
offered in select council on Thursday
night authorizes the recorder to enter
into contract for the installation of
the switchboard and the ten patrol
boxes with the Consolidated Telephone
companies.

A HARD TUssLE.
Fred Setback Gave Two Constables
Lively Time.

Constable Sheffield and Deputy Con-
stable Hawks had a hard tussle yes
terday morning with Fred Setback, of
Petersburg, whom they went to arrest
on charge Of threats preferred by his
wife.
Setback was released from the coun-
ty Jail on Wednesday after serving n
three months sentence for beating his
wife, who secured divorce during his
incarceration. Yesterday morning he
went to her home and broke in the
door. He threatened to do her bodily
harm unless she turned over her fur
niture to him and became so abusive
that she went before Alderman Ruddy
and swore out a warrant for his ar
rest
He fought the officers desperately
when placed under arrest and though
he was knocked down several times
he didn't desist bit. The patrol
wagon was sent for and he fought like
a tiger as he was placed in 1t. 1t took
the combined strength of three men
to hold him until Alderman Ruddy's
Office was reached. The alderman com
mitted him to the county Jail in de-
fault of $500 bail.

POPULAR CIRCUS COMING.
The Great Wallace Show Will Ex
hihit Here in Near Future.

The Great Wallace Show. which will
give two performances in Scranton on
Friday, May %. are as well and favor
ably known as any show ever was. and
a certain class of business men prob
ably think it foolish for Mr.. Wallace
to spend money in advertising Mr..
Wallace does not think so. His agents
have been in the city and have ar
ranged for a very extensive advertis-
ing campaign both in the papers and
on the billboards.
Two things are essential for the Sc
curing of desired results from adver-
tsing. The advertising matter must
be readable and attractive. and then
the promise advertised must be kept
Mr. Wallace is guided by these two
cardinal principles, which have been
attended with such conspicuous sue
cess in his case.

SONG RECITAL.

1 Fourth Entertainment in the Y. M. c A. Course-Mr. and Mrs. Van Yorx the Singers.
 The fourth and certainly the most artistic entertainment in the Y. M. c. A. course thus far, was the song recital by MT. and Mrs. Theodore Van Yorx. which completely filled Warner hall last evening.
 The programme was one made up of classical as we'll as somewhat popular numbers In Meyerbeers 70 Paradise" Mir Van Yorx displayed his most dra-
 natic and brilliant voice. The ten songs of the monk were Interestingly and artistically given, showing remark able control of the mezzo-voce. Of the ballads "Ninon" was the most beauti- fully given, while the Lass With the Delicate Air" met with considerable ap- proval from the audience.
 Mrs. Van Yorx is a new conner here. She possesses delicate temperamental characteristics which make her selec- tions particularly charming. Her voice, a mezzo while not of remarkable de- velopment was usually effective. Es pecially fine were her Cnanlinade num- Der which was given in French and "Who'll Buy My Lavender" Their duets were effectively done, the voices blending well. The one from Faust and Jensen's 70 Lay Thy Cheek on Mine"' were beautifully rendered.
 An important and conmendable ad- junct to the programme was the &C., companying of Willis H. Alling, who now devotes his time to his music in New York. He played with unfailing accuracy and with excellent light ana shade, on piano which had little to commend it except it's beautiful ex- terior.
