TO ELECT TEACHERS
AT MEETING TO-DAY

An adjourned meeting of the Board
of Education will be held this after
noon. The principal business to come
before it is the election of teachers
for the next school year. 1t has been
customary to do this at the regular
June meeting, but at that meeting last
year it was decided as preferable to
make such elections after the close of
the school term. and this plan will
doubtless be pursued in future.
1t is expected that a number of
changes will be made in the schools
next season, so that whether or not
any of the present teachers should fail
of election at the hands of the board
there will be many vacancies when the
term begins, in October. 1t was to
secure available candidates for such
expected vacancies that the election
for teachers was held June 20, though
eligibles resulting from this examina-
ton will not be made known to the
board until it's regular July meeting,
which will be held on the 18th.

of the school with ice cream and cake,
which they themselves served in one
of the class rooms.
One of the pretty features of the
closing at the Barnard Street School
was the presentation to Corinne Sauls

WITH LIVE BOARDERS
WILEY Experimental.
Results of His Trial of Preventative
Chemicals.


Washington, June 3O.-The first of
the series of experiments to test the
effect of the preservative chemicals
used upon foods. which the Secretary
of Agriculture was authorized to con-
duct by act of Congress, concluded
with dinner to-day.
The experiments began last Decem-
Der and have proceeded continuously
ever since, under the personal direc-
ton of DR.. Wiley, chief of the chemi-
cal bureau, who during the entire time
has spent twelve hours a day at the
bureau headquarters, where three
meals a day have been served. He
has taken his own meals with the
boarders, but has not experimental on
himself with the chemicals used.
The preservatives used thus far are
borax and boracic acid, and while it
is the intention to continue the inves-
tigation after a rest of three months,
ii is not now considered that it win
be necessary 70 make further use of
either the borax or the acid.
Speaking to-day in general terms,
DR. Wiley said there had been class
of fourteen men, all of them engaged
in the Agricultural Department, and
most of them in the chemical bureau,
and that there were two divisions of
them, half of them having the pre-
servatives administered to them at a
time, the period of continuous service
continuing for forty days at time
in each instance.
I'VE have not" said the doctor 'ad-
ministered the preservative with the
food but have given it separately, gen.
orally in capsules. Our experiments
have been conducted with a view to
ascertaining the effect of the preserva-
tives on digestion. and our observations
have covered the effect of carlo hy-
drates, or fat and on the digestion
of protein and gluten. We also have
observed the effect on the assimilation
of food. and we have carefully noted
all increase or decrease in weight fol-
lowing a certain prescribed course
I'VE have recorded with care the eff
feet of the preservatives on the COM
position of the blood. l may say in
a general way that we found that fully
nine-tenths of the chemicals passed
out through the kidneys and most oil
the remainder in the perspiration."

SHOTS IN DRAMA
BROUGHT POLICEMEN OUT,

Several pistol shots in the vicinity
of East Broad and Harris streets, last
night drew in very short time
number of policemen to the vicinity.
They were under the impression that
somebody had been shot, possibly kill
ed, and they lost no time in making
an investigation.
The place of the shooting was finally
located as the Harris Street Hall and
there the officers FASTENED only to
find that a colored troupe was pre-
senting for the delectation of its
friends red hot variety of drama of
the ten, twenty, thirt' variety and that
the shots fired had been blank car
tridges used where the exigencies of
the play required the summarily re-
moval of the villain. No arrests were
made.
