HIGH SCHOOL LECTURE.
Prof. Schurr PIeases With His Talk
 on Nature.

All of those who heard the lecture at the High school by Edward Schurr last night spent very enjoyable as we'll as profitable evening. Professor Schurr is from Pittsfield. Mass, and received his early training in the woods and mountains of that state.
 From the first it was plain that Prof. Schurr was master of his sub ject, the love of which he inherited from his father, a naturalist him. self who possessed the largest COllCC- ton of species of natural life in the world.
 The talk was illustrated by the pets that the lecturer had collected from he great out-of-doOrs. He had with him field mice of different kinds. tur- ties, toads, etc. The object of the talk was to show the great amount of good that the birds and toads do in destroying the insects which are such a pest to the farmers of this cOun- try.

 Abuse on American Flag.

New York, April 13--In a state ment issued yesterday by James H.. Maurer of Reading, Penn, president of the Pennsylvania State Labor Fed eration, a denial was made of the claim that during an address in New York last Sunday evening at a labor forum, Maurer is alleged to have said ITO hell with the stars and stripes" MT. Maurer said that his remarks as made were quoted from the remarks of a constable who tried to disperse a union gathering of miners.
 A secret hearing was held in this city yesterday at which President Wilcox of the board of education pre- sided Twelve witnesses were exam ined, of whom all but four are in terested in the Labor Forum. Two members of the press were examined, one testifying that he heard MT.

 At the close of the hearing Presi- dent Wilcox informed reporters that no evidence had been shown that MT. Maurer had made the above remarks except from one reporter, or that he had made any statement that was otherwise insulting.
