TEACHERS RECEPTION.
dresses Delivered-Everybody Had A
Pleasant Time.

The reception given in the public
school building last Friday evening, un-
der the auspices of the Mothers Club,
for the teachers of the public schools,
was pleasant affair, There were a
large number present, mostly OF the
gentler sex, and everybody seemed to
be glad they were there. The teachers
were given cordial greeting. The
people were very generous with kind
words and complimentary expression to
the teachers, and If they don't feel now
that their work is appreciated by a
large number of parents and patrons,
they must be hard to convince.
The second floor of the school build
ing was used for reception and serving
light luncheon. After an hour or
more had been squandered in hand
shaking, pleasant greetings and par
taking of lunch, the crowd assembled to
Assembly hall to listen to short pro-
gram provided for the occasion. DR..
John H. Murray, one of the school
directors, presided. Program as fol-
lows: Address of welcome, Rev. A. d.

The Window Glass Situation.

Wehave been asked to give the read
ers of The STAR some Information in re.
CARDS to the trouble. We reply by say.
ing that the trouble is principally i'm.
aginary. The only real difficulty being
the machine made product, which costs
very much less than that made by hand.
However, the machine equipped factor
les are only able to make about one
third of the amount required by the
market, hence the balance must be
made by hand. In order to protect the
business of the hand manufacturer as
well as the worker, it is absolutely
necessary for them to join heart and
hand in war against the machine man
ufacturer. The only feasible suggest
ion thus far, is a scale of wages which
will adjust itself either up or down in
accordance with the market.
The result of the present deadlock is
as follows: The twenty-lour hundred
workers who are idle are losing at least
$4,000 dollars per day in wages and the
manufacturers who are idle are also los
ing,
The machine manufacturers, the CO.
operative element and the Burns orgap-
ization are all reaping a share of the
prosperity caused by the failure of the
Faulkner or Amalgamated workmen to
accept scale of wages which is now
paying more wages than the scale they
are asking.
The question naturally arises, why
lot sign the Faulkner scale? We an
swer: because the American Window
Glass Company are and have been for
months past storing the greater portion
of their output, and should we resume
under the Flat or Faulkner scale, they
will dump this stock on the market at a
price below our cost and force us out of
blast
Hence, we say, the only real trouble
is the machine, and this we believe can
be overcome with the hearty co-opera-
tion of the hand operating manufacture
ers and the workers.
If any one else has a better solution
he is serving the best interest of the
American Window Glass Co. by re.
naming quiet.

Whenever the name of Culhane,

as synonym for honest advertising and
promises faithfully fulfilled. Making
no extravagant claims or false promises
rather contenting themselves with Civ
ing the best possible performance and
letting that be their chief advertising
factor, they now have, at the end of
their eighth successful season, a reputa-
tion that is virtually an absolute guar
antee as to the fine quality of the at
traction, The organization is certainly
not to be classed with some of the ely

times sees. On the contrary, the Cul-
hane, Chase and Weston Minstrels

of the company aredirected in conser-
vative and strictly business-like manner

prise, either theatrical or commercial,

home and he demanded an explanation
from Joe for his abusive conduct on bis
previous visit. 1t is claimed that Joe
invited John to come outside as he
wanted to see him and when they got
outside Joe pulled a revolver from his
pocket and began shooting at John,
two of the bullets hitting him. John

81 Stebbins.

The performances of Isl Stebbins"
are commendable and are certainly APP
preciated. The play is series Of real
istic pictures of rural life as seen from
humorous standpoint, aud is conse-
quently popular. All the familiar rural
scenes, such as the farmer in blue jeans,
the country dance, etc, are accurately
portrayed and the scenes which mater
tally lend well to humorous depictions
are made the most of in such manner
that the audience is kept in constant
uproar of laughter. There is no real
plot to the play, but this fact is soon lost
sight of in the whirl of ludicrous situa-
tions and seems to improve rather than
detract from the production. The
specialties are of excellent character,
so that the entertainment is especially
agreeable to those fond of rural comedy.
The cast headed by Dan Darleigh is
good one and the play is conducted with
dramatic ability and good taste to its
conclusion. At the Reynolds opera

washington, May -(special.)-Arsu-
ment on behalf of the Alabama volun-
ieers IN the Spanish-American war was
mace on Monday and Tuesday of last
week In the United States court of claims
by Capt c. c. Calhoun OF the firm Of
Calhoun Sizer of Washington who ara
associated with BENJAMIN Carter ~
Washington as attorneys for the state of
ALABAMA In the matter of additional pay
due the Alabama volunteers in the Span
ish-American war, and the court has
handed down an opinion favorable to the
soldiers.
Inc assistant attorney general, on be-
half of the United States, sought to es-
tablish the right of the government to
set off by cross bill against the amounts
due the volunteers for their service to the
state prior to muster, the amount the SOL
diers had been paid by the United States
paymasters. This contention on the part
of the Government was denied by the at
torneys for the state who maintained
that Congress had provided that volun-
teers in the Spansh-American war were
entitled to receive their state pay and
also their United States pay, and denied
the right on the part of the government
to establish a set-off. The court by a
unanimous opinion sustained the conten.
ton of the attorney for the state and in
diminishing the governments petition for
cross-bill held that no deduction should
be made from the pay due the soldiers for
any sum paid him by the United States
while he was in the state service, thus
sustaining the soldiers right to both his
state pay and his United States pay for
his enrolment period.
This case has attracted considerable at
tention as it affected the pay of a great
many Spanish war soldiers, upon which
the court had previously rendered an adj
verse decision, and owing to peculiar cir
cumstances it has been argued twice be-
fore the court. 1t was argued on March
20 last, but before a decision was rem
dered in the case, Judge Weldon, one of
the members of the bench. was taken with
cover and his having died soon after the
argument was made necessitated a rear
gument by both the government and the
attorneys for the state
The qpestion involved in this argument
affected the pay of the First, Second
and third regiments of infantry, Alabama
Spanish war volunteers. amounting to
about 5000 for which the above attor-
neys have brought suit in the court OF
claims. and now that the court has ruled
favorable thereon an early adjudication
of the matter is looked for.
