School Hoard 'Members Unnblo to
Ajjrec on Coal.
The school board bo'd ' another meeting
yesterday afternoon nt the ofllco of E. E.
Wright to continue their wrangle in
regard to tno coal suppry. All the
members were present excepting Wuite.
President Wells , who was chairman of tbo
committee appointed Mondav night to ox-
.imlno the coal question , reported that it had
boon unable to agree , and ho therefore called
on the members to make their individual
reports.
tiehoentgon reported that ho had not
changed his opinion since Monuav night ,
nrnl that ho still Held tbat W.V. . Wallace's
Walnut Ccutervillo coal ut M.U5 whs the
lowest. Ho was onnosctl to taking any
risks on any other kind of coal thaf might bo
marked at a lower llguro.
Hunter stated that ho too was of the same
opinion as when ho stood up for the Carbon
Coal company Monday night. The Excello
lump , at ? ; t. IU , had been used In the schools
for two years and the board ran no risks in
Inking it again. Ho also called attention to
the fact that a number of the railways cen
tering here nro tulni ? that kind of coal In
large quantities.
Suoontgon retorted that the railways are
in the habit of buying almost any Kind of
coal that the Carbon Coal company had a
notion to furnish , on account of some magic
Inllucnco someone connected with the com
pany st'omed to possess. Wells sided with
Hunter , Stacy slued with Schoentgen , while
Shubcrt left It blissfully uncertain ns to
where ho stood until the vote was taKon.
A motion was made to award the contract
to Wullaco for nls ; i. ( > 5 coal , but It was lost ,
Schoentgen , Stacy and Shubcrt voting in
favor 01 nnd Wells and Hunter against It.
It was oviaont that both bides had coma to
sny and that nothing could bo gained by
cussing mm discussing any moro for the
piesent. It was arcorulngly decided
to postuoua further action until
Saturday evening , when another mooting
will bo held. Schoentgen wanted to put in a
clause forbidding Hunter fiom ordering anymore
moro coal In the mcnnllmo than would sup
ply the schools for a week , hut Hunter told
him ho had only been ordering it by the load
nnyway , so the cliiuso was not Inserted. It
was mu'.unlly understood , houovor , that
Schocntgcn should not have to llo awake
nights for fear Hunter was coming n sharp
trick over him. In the meantime the Carbon
Coal company is furnishing the coal.

A historian of the English stage tolls us
that when "Tim Kivnls" was llrst produced
"Tho town damned , condoned and finally
crowned It" as u worn "remarkable for wit ,
good arrangement of plot nnd knowledge oi
men unit manners. " "Moro than n century
has elapsed slnco Sheridan's comedy was
written , but Its transcendent iiiorlt has made
it a classic which will abide permanently in
dramatic literature.
It may puzio the modern play-goer to nn-
tleratand why "Tho Hivals" should have
been damned , but It Is only necessary to re
mind him that the moralities of a century
ago were not cut on the same pattern as those-
of this latter day. It is properly duo Mr.
Joseph .TolTcrson , too , to say that ho has made
some considerable changes from the work ns
written by the brilliant Irishman , but ttio
contemporary lover of the Urnma may rest
assured that they nro for Us betterment.
"Tho Hivals" was produced nt the Boyd
last night by Mr. JolTerson nnd hlsndralrablo
company of comedians , nnd n brilliant
audience , with sensibilities nttuned to catch
the slightest play of humor , onjoved nn
Intellectual luxury. What can bo said of
Mr. JolTerson and his Deb Acres aunint ,
harmless , amu in , good naturcd poltroon
that ho Is that has not been
said a hundred times before nnd In most
felicitous terms ! There are other conceptions
of the character , but if any counterfeiter of
the n.irt has an art that Is nearer peneotion
than Mr. Jefferson's its superiority is like
those sounds which are too subtle for the
human understanding to perceive. This
genial comedian's characterization is a de
light in the present and will bo a precious
memory In tno future.
Mrs. John Drew's Mr.s Mnlaprop is a
unique and enduring creation. It is ono of the
notable achievements lu recent dramatic nrt
and promises to pass Into the traditions of the
stngo along with Mr. Jefferson's 13ob Acres.
The place of tun lamented Florence as Sir
Lucius O'Trlpeor is taken by Mr. Louis
James. It were hardly fair to draw a com
parison. Air. James has boon doing
a widely different Hue of work for
years and has hud barely ton days
in his present position. Ho is one , of the best
all around actors on the American stage ,
however , and considering the trying circum
stances under which ho has assumed the role
ho acquitted himself brilliantly.
Mr. W. F. Owen ns Sir Anthony Absolute
travo n carotully studied impersonation of the
despotic , choleric f.ithcr , with a heart full of
nfl'ectlon , that was llnishcd and tilled the full
measure of expectation.

well known to need fulsome llattery.
The JolTerson Comedy company , having
decided not to give a matinee at Boyd's opor.i

Jonn Diow , Mr. Louis James and the mem
bers of the company will bo guests at the

CHICAGO , 111. , Dec. 1. A meeting of presi
dents and vice presidents of western roads
was hold today In accordance with the
announcement of last weou to formulate n
schema for doing away with the indiscrimi
nate Issuance of free passes. A vote at the
mooting established the fact that all present
were in favor of tlio movement , but the
attendance was not largo enough to admit ol
nnv decisive action being taken. Only fifteen
roads were represented , although Invitations
had been extended to moro than twlco that
number. J. C. McMullln of the Chicago &
Alton was called to the chair. After a general
discussion of the subject a resolution was
adopted adjourning the meeting nubjcct to
call of the chairman and u committee of live.
The delay caused by the small attendance
Is regarded by some as significant. It Is
freely predicted tonight that tlio meeting
will result In n fiasco , Just ns it did last year
when certain roads purposely delayed action
until after they bad made their annual
passes to suit themselves.
Some tlmo In September the Burlington ,
Cedar Hapids & Northern sold round trip ex
cursion tickets to a party of thirty persons
from Cedar liuplds , la. , to Barnosvllle , U. ,
and return at $ ' , ' 0 for ttio round
tiip. Thu tickets were good over the
Kock Island road between West
Llboi ty nnd Chicago and ns no such
rate had' been authorized , Chairman Finloy
referred charges against the Kock Island as
E nlng responsible for the use ot such rate.
Mho cnso was duty heard nnd today Chair
man Finloy issued his doclalon. Ho holds
that the charges are sustained and thru the
Hock Island must pay over to the association
the full proportion which should have ac
crued on such tickets at the lira-class rnto
in force at that time.
At the regular mooting of the Western
Passenger association It was agiocd that ,
commencing tbo llrst Tuesday In January ,
IbO- ' , the regular meetings of the association
should bo held bi-monthly Instead of
monthly.
On the appeal of the Chicago , St. I'aul ft
Kansas City road from the decision of the
chairman in the mllcago case , the decision of
the chairman was sustained.
The subject of the sale of roinui trip
tlcUo's between transcontinental points and
Chicago was talked over and the committee
having in cnnrgo the details in respect to the
If nlehts Templar convention at Denver was
granted further tlmo. The consideration of
the subject of the establishment of a rata
bureau was deferred until next meeting that
the matter may bo further Investigated ,
The chnrgo that the Chicago , St. Paul &
Kansas City gave reduced rates to thu party
of Minneapolis boomers who captured the
republican national convention for that city
Is being Investigated , Trafllo Manager
