SELECTING THE TEACHEK9.
llourd of Education Ko\r Laboring with
This I'rolilem.
The report of the committee on teachers
and examinations , recommending the list of
teachers and principals to bo elected for the
ensuing year will bo presented to the Board
of Education at the first meeting In June.
K The committee Is now engaged on the list
, of principals and this hag been practically de
cided on. Another meeting will bo held
Thursday night , at which the list will be
once more revised and then the committee
will take up the selection of the subordinate
,
teachers.
, One matter that has been a bone of con
tention In the committee Is ino selection of
a principal for the Farnam scnool to succeed
Miss Truoland , re-signed. There are a dozen
candidates'for the position , but It Is under
stood that the choice lies between Miss Mar
garet McCarthy , principal -of the Pacific
school , and W. H. Allen , who occu
pies a eimllar position at Dodge.
About a year ago four rooms were
, were taken from the Pacific school and at
that time Miss McCarthy was assured that
her salary would be restored by promltlon tea
a larger school as soon as practicable. It Is
on this understanding that she bases her
claim for the Farnam scnool. Prof. Allen
clalrra the support of various "patriotic" or
ders and also that of Rev. T. C. Cuamblet , of
whoso church he Is a member. He has given
it out for six months past that he had a
"pull" with the board that would land him In
any position he wanted , and It Is rumored
that he has been selected by the committee.
While the Farnam Ifi the only school with
out a principal at present , It Is not unlikely
- that several vacancies will bo created before
the commute ? concludes its labors. Chairman
Rhodes of the committee says that there Is
no question but that there are half a dozen
principals who are weak and should bo dis
placed. It was a disagreeable , matter to take
up , but ho ballevcd that It was the duty of
the committee to aim at the greatest possible
efficiency In the schools , and this demanded
a reorganization ot principals , by which the
weak timber would be replaced with better
material. Mr. Rhodes said that the committee
had practically dectdtd on the report , so far
as the principals were concerned , but that
on no account would any hint b given as to
its contents until after the close of the school
year. If It was known which principals were
to bo dismissed it would have a tendency to
disorganize the schools for the balance of the
term.
term.While
While It Is understood that the committee
will report In favor of the reorganization the
report will not ba adopted without opposi
S tion. It is claimed by ono cr two members
of the board that the report ot the commit
tee will be modeled upon a religious basis
and that the character of the church which
a teacher attends will have much to do with
her treatment at the bands of the committee.
On the other hand , this Is most emphatically
denied by the members of the committee ,
who assert that merit and efficiency constitute
the only standard which has been or will
bo considered.
Veil from thn Horizontal liar ,
A center of attraction on the Leavenwcrth
school grounds Is a horizontal bar , upon
which the boys vie with one another In ath
letic exercises. Friday afternoon the
10-year-old boy of J. F. Brown , who reudes
at Seventeenth and Mason streets , sought to
display his agility while a larger boy was
al j performing on the bar. In some way
Mister Brown lost his grip and fell to the
ground , suffering a compound fracture of th :
arm. Ho was carried to his home and a
doctor called at once. Mr. Brown is em-
ph tie In his denunciation of the fchool
board for permitting the horizontal bar on
the school grounds ,

WOULD NOT HEAR HIM.
Hey Harried Off tn Keforni fcliool with
rutlior's llequest for Trial Ueulo-l.
A distressing case arose in criminal court
yesterday in which , by a peremptory
order of the judge , a father was separated
from his child. The boy was ordered to be
taken to the state reform school at 2 o'clock
under a charge of burglary. His father wat
present , represented by T. J. Mahoney , and
pleaded earnestly to have his boy given a
trial In order that he might demonstrate
the fact that his son was not guilty of the
crime , and that he was not incorrigible. The
court refused to modify the order , or hold
the boy in the sheriff's custody until a trial
of the case could bo had.
On Friday last , three small boys were ar
raigned on the charge of burglary. Among
the number was Fritz Swanson , aged 12
charged with stealing some property from a
city school house. Rev. Alexander Irvine
appeared In court when the lads were ar
raigned and said that he represented their
parents. The boys were crying and scared
and severally answered that they had en
tered the building. John D. Ware was ap
pointed attorney , but no witnesses were
sworn. Sentence was pronounced on the spot.
A. W. Swanson Is the foster father
of Fritz , having adopted him ten years
ago , and since kept him In school. He sup
posed the lad was in court to have a trial day
set , and so did not himself appear. Yester
day he emphatically denied that Irvine had
any authority or show of authority to appear
for his lad , and said If the other side of the
case was heard he could ehow that his boy
had not entered the school house , but called
loudly to the other lads not to do so. Mr.
Mahoney suggested that only an ex parte
hearing had been had on on Information
which he declared would not hold a man
for a crime. The judge said that he sup
posed that the Information was faulty , but
he had heard one side of the case and was
satisfied. The father has filed papers to glvo
bis son a trial , to at least demonstrate be Is
not a burglar.

The Mission of Our | Merciful Saviour at
508 Davenport street Is to ba closed for a
line , until some other sisterhood can be
ound to take It In charge. The sisters of
he Order of St. Monica , who have had It
n charge , are about to leave this city and
vlll take charge of an orphanage at Spring-
'
eld , Il'l. At the last meeting of the asso-
lates of the mission Mother Caroline , who
as been at the head of the work here , read
report summarizing the results so far ob-
alned. The report , however , falls to men-
Ion many outside activities In which Mother
Caroline has engaged , such as the Indus-
rial school , a pleasant hour club for young
working girls and much work In connection
with St. Paul's mission. Their departure Is
Iceply regretted by all who have been as-
ioclated with them. The report Is :
In limiting * this , my last report of the
work of the Mission of Our Merciful Sa
viour , I have thought ( best to make a state
ment of the number admitted to the house.
Since Its opening In fluly , 1893 , there have
been seventy-two admitted for a longer era
a shorter time. Two have como for protec-
lon while passing through town. Nine have
come for protection -while seeking service.
Three who had come seeking work had
fallen , but wished their paHt history kept
secret that they might procure respectable
places and live respectable lives.
Two girls came to us who had run away
from home , one of them of sutllclent social
standing to be visited by ono of the most
respected men of Omaha , to ascertain If
she was made comfortable until her father
came for her. Both these were restored.
Three girls were placet" hero for disobedient ,
willful conduct at home , all of whom stayed
with us some months and then went to nice
places for service.
WORK FOR THE CHILDREN.
Four children have been placed with ua
for protection until homes could be pro
cured for them , all of whom have since
been adopted Into good homes. Three of
these have been rescued from most aban
doned parents , the other one from a home
and Influences unsuitable to raising any
girl properly , If not .absolutely . vicious.
The remainder have been fallen women
of all degree , from the lowest In physical
and mental condition to the unfortunate
slrls who have been betrayed under prom
ise of marriage , but who have been , or
feared they would be , disowned by their
parents or guardians.
There have been live Infants and one adult
baptized In the house oratory. One of the
Infants was baptized as It was dying by
Sister Anna Hobart , who was visiting us
at the time. The baby was burled from
the house , Hev. Mr. WJlllams taking charge
of It. Two Infants nod four adults have
been baptized at tlie cathedral , making a
total of eUven , and one confirmed. Eight
ndulta and two children have returned
after going away , -thawing their confidence
and desire for further protection , against
themselves.
We have been obliged to refuse admis
sion to live persons because we had no
place to care for them physically. We
can do nothing for a woman morally with
out llrst cleansing 'the .body. We have had
to refuse two who would have come to us
to be cured for drunkenness. Last summer
we knew of nine children who needed care
and protection , but we could do .nothing for
them for lack of room. This makes a total
of eighty-nine who httve sought the protec
tion of the mission.
We do not claim that all of these were
reformed , but we know the three lowest In
physical condition are now striving to live
good lives. Two who came to us from the
east are , I fear , living hopelessly Irregular ,
if not absolutely abandoned , lives. One of
the youngest , and In some ways , a beautiful
and sweet , girl , d. fear has returned to an

MEANING OF THE FACTS.
With such a record of facts can any one
doubt the usefulnessof the mission or the
faithfulness of those Interested In the
work ?
If such results have been accomplished
under the pressure of the financial crisis
that came Just aa we opened'the house ,
can any one for an ( Instant hesitate as to
- the necessity of enlarged accommodation
and better equipment for the future ? From
the smallnets of the accommodations we
have been unable to keep the girls with us
as long as we desired , and here has been a
great drawback. We needed to keep them
long- enough to have the Impressions and
desires for a virtuous life confirmed and
strengthened by long tests. The time ol
their stay , while It should have been years
has been curtailed to a few months. Car
any one doubt that it grieves us to know
that the house Is to be closed , even foi
a few months , when any day some pool
soul may be waiting to bo saved from utter
destruction ? Would not some of the rec
tors , of small parishes at least , be en
couraged by hayinglSuch a record In thE
same space of time ? What can I say thai
will appeal to you women for the- salvation
suffered , sls'ers. ' ° -whom our dear Lord
just as much and more than for the
favored children of virtuous homes ? Whal
can I say that will appeal to you more
arnestly than the ilmple ttatement of
h se facts ?
In. closing this report I will only allude
a the work of Sister Sarah among the poor
of the city. How many will arise up and
call lift- blessed norie of ua can know. Her
charities have been unselfish , unpreten-
tous and almost unnumbered.

VIADUCT MAT BE GLOBED.
locird of Vubllo Work * Conil < 1er Such
Action rrotmblr.
It la probable that the Sixteenth street
viaduct \vlll be permanently closed by the
] oard ot Public Works Inside ot another
veek. The.matter lias been cor.ntdcred at
ength by the board , and members are unani
mously ot the opinion that In case It Is
shown that the continuance ol travel on the
structure menaces public safety. It Is the
duty ot the board to close It up entirely.
Tha street commissioner has been Instructed
to make a thorough Investigation and report
to the board at the next meeting , and It bis
report confirms the present Impression a
resolution will then bo passed declaring the
viaduct unsafe and prohibiting travel over
t.
In discussing the probable action ot the
board Chairman Wlnspear said that It the
communication of the city engineer , which
had been sent to the city council , had been
officially communicated to the board the mem-
Jers would undoubtedly have ordered the via
duct closed without delay. But they had
tiad no official notification of the condition of
the structure and were dependent on the
city engineer for Information on which to
t > ase their action.
According to the terms of the charter the
board , Chairman Wlnspear said , wns Invested
with the power to take such action as was
necessary In the Interests ot public safety ,
mid If an accident occurred the city would be
held responsible. With the trusses In their
present condition of dry rot the viaduct might
collapse at any moment , and measures should
be taken nt once to protect tn city.
