DESERTED MlFE'S STORY
Mrs. Nealon's Husband Wanted Her
to Run House on $40 Month.
Aid Given by Poor Board.

A wife, whose husband expected her
to keep house and support two chill
dren on $40 a month and who left her
when she told him she couldn't do it,
appeared before the poor board yes
terday in the person of Mrs. Michael
Nealon, of 1888 South Washington ave-
nue..
Her husband she said, worked for
German, the liveryman, and earned $40
or more month. He gave her some
times So and sometimes $40 of this,
keeping the rest for himself. When
she complained that the amount was
too small, he threatened to leave her
and kept cutting down her allowance
until about five months ago when he
deserted her altogether. When her baby
was born about two months ago he
gave her s. but has not provided for
her since.
Her household effects were sold out
about a month ago by constable and
she has since been living with her faith
er, who is sixty-five years old and un-
able to provide for her any longer. The
members of the board thought the case
an especially worthy one and referred
it to Director Fuller.
lnOnlaS LEVINE ana MS VIE, an aSeu
couple, 70 and 65 years old respectively,
were admitted to the Hillside Home.
Mrs. Peter Molter. of 92S Beech street,
who has been receiving relief from the
board for a number of months past, ap-
peared to have it reviewed. She told
a pathetic hard-luck story about a sick
husband and four small children.
II think we had better drop this
case said Director Dickert. "The
money that this woman has received
from the board has been largely spent
in rushing the groWler and the tax
payers in the neighborhood object to
having their money go in this way
The case was dismissed as was also
the case of Mrs. Lizzie Dimler, of 603
Pittston avenue, who has two children
aged 16 and IS years earning $40 a
month each. Director Fuller was chos-
en- 20 act as chairman of the board un-
til Director Brooks returns from his
European tour

MID-wINTER CIRCUS.
Fair-sized Attendance Despite the
Awful Weather.

Those who trudged out to the armory
last night Will agree that the circus
was very much mid-winter. If it came
UP to expectations in every feature as
much as 1t did in it's novel feature 1t
was surely no disappointment
Despite the awful weather there were
about thousand in attendance, and
Notwithstanding the paucity of patrons
the entire performance was given.
The Japanese troupe of arrobats. as
on the previous night. came in for the
greatest share of applause. They are
IL whole show in themselves and well
worth anybody's time and money.
Others who were especially commend
able in their work are the Todd-Judge
family, the st. Belmas. Miss Blanche
Sloan, Ascote & Eddy, Ellis & Nowlan,
Delto & Devello and Billy Devoe in
varied acrobatic feats. The trained an
imal feature of the show is also of a
high order of merit.
There are, in all, twenty-five different
acts, each of them the best of it's kind
obtainabe. 1t is quite up to the stand
ard of the best of circuses.
This afternoon at 2.15 there will be
matinee. The concluding performance
will be given tonight.

GIBBONS ENDORSED.
"The Old War Horse" Chosen as Dem.
ocratic Candidate for President
of the School Board.

Nine of the Democratic members of
the school board met last night in the
municipal building and unanimously
endorsed John Gibbons, Eugene d. Eel
lows and David j. Reedy for president,
secretary and solicitor, respectively
Positive assurances have been received
from the other two Democratic MEM
bers of the board that they will abide
by the result of last nights caucus.
No opposition whatever developed to
Mr.. Gibbons at the caucus. Controller
Dennis j. Roche, who had announced
himself as a candidate for the presi-
dency of the board. withdrew i'll favor
of Mr.. Gibbons. Not even the whisper
of an opposition to either Mr.. Fellows
or Mr.. Reedy developed.
It was stated that while no Republ-
cans attended last nights meeting,
there We're several who would vote for
Mr.. Gibbons and Mr.. Reedy next Tues
day night. These are understood to be
Messrs. Schriefer and Barker, who voted
for Mr.. Gibbons last year.
1t was a noticeable fact among those
who attended the caucus and who
pledged themselves to vote for Mr.. Glib
bons We're DR.. John O'Malley and A. L.
Francois, both of whom voted for Jayne
last year. Those present at the meet
ing last night We're as follows: A. l..
Francois, John Gibbons. DR.. John
ONIalley, Peter j. Ref, Otto Robinson,
II. j. Jennings, Anthony Walsh. e. J.
Leonard and Dennis J. Roche. The two
members not present, but who sent
written pledges of support to Messrs.
Gibbons, Fellows and Reedy, We're H.
j. O'Malley, of the Third ward, and p.
j. Langan, of the Eighteenth ward.
The members in attendance seemed
confident that the Republicans viii, put
up no candidate for either the chair
manship or solicitorship, realizing that
Messrs. Gibbons and Reedy have al
ready the pledged support of major
ity of the members and the probable
support of several others.
The board will meet for reorganiza-
tion next Tuesday night at O'Clock.
