PAIL JOBS BECAUSE OP TROUBLE IN FINANCES REFERENCE TO POLITICIANS Caustic Allusions In the Letter* oi Renicrnation Which Might Be In terpreted to Apply to the City Comptroller— E. K. McDonald Sits for the First Time tut n Member of the School Board. The school*board, at a special meeting held last night, appointed Miss A. A. Mor row, principal teacher of the Ramsey school, to succeed Miss C. F. Saunders, whcse resignation takes effect next Thursday. The position left vacant by the promotion of Mi*s Morrow will be filled by Miss E. Thuet, an eighth grade teacher, at the Madison school. Miss Morrow, who will assume charge of the Neill school, has filled the position of principal teacher of the Ramsey school for a number of years and her appoint ment was made by the board aa a merited promotion. The resignation of Miss Ella Hawk, of the Irving school, and Miss Jesßle Strong, of the Franklin, were both accepted by the board. Both date their resignations the same as Miss Saunders, and assign the same reasons for their withdrawal from the schools, namely that they feel the stress of the financial situation, and believe that the teachers have not re ceived fair treatment at the hands of the politicians—or who ever it is that is re sponsible for the situation that is causing so much hardship, with no immediate re lief in sight. Leave of absence was grante-1 Miss Nel lie Goodhue, of the training school, from Jan. 1 to the end of the school year; Miss Alice Kelly, Adams school, from Jan. 1 to end of school year, and Miss Clara Slotterbec, of the Douglas school for twenty-seven days in January Manager Freedy, of the Northwestern Telephone company. asked permis sion to place automatic telephones in several of the schools. He explained that no guaranty was re- QU^ e<\v° f the b°ard- If th« telephones paid, the experiment proving successful phones would be placed in all the schools Supt. Smith thought 'phones would be a great advantage on cold days, and a convenience for the parents as well as the teachers. The names of a dozen schools were selected where phones were most desired, and Mr Freedy was authorized to go ahead. The committee on engineers and jani tors brought in a report which embodied a resolution asking P. Powers, janitor of the Jefferson school, to resign, and named B. Hlephanius as his successor. Mr. Pow ers met with an accident some time ago and was not thought strong enough for the work. Prof. H. S. Baker, of the Humboldt. complained in a communication that the scholars of his school were net permitted to attend the art lectures at Central school. In as much as the board allowed the free us© of the high school audi torium, ha thought his pupils should be accorded privileges equal with those of the Central high school. Elmer E. McDonald was named to in vestigate the matter. It was his first meeting, but he bore it bravely. A short tempest In the tea pot was oc casioned by a resolution introduced by Dr. Fry, providing that the teachers be not paid for Christmas and Easter vaca "tion. He thought that the schools should be run as long as possible, and in this way, the period would be extended a couple of weeks. After a long discussion, r>r. Fry withdrew hia resolurlon, upon th® statement of Supt. Smith that the teach ers had never received pay for Christmas week anyway. President Zimmermann presented the subject, of having the school children furnish the equiptr-ent for two rooms in the new public library. Mr. Bond stated that at the Central high school a very good library was maintained and this mig-ht be merged with the school chil dren's department of the new city library. A committee consisting of President Zlm mormann, jS. O. Zimmerman, H. C. Mc- Xair and Dr. Wallace waa appointed to Investigate the matter. MAKE NO MISTAKE-SMOKE El Modclo or Tennyson cigars.

HOW TO HELP LABOR IT IS EARNESTLY DISCUSSED BY PROMINENT MEN OF THE EPIBC6PAL CHURCH IS IT TH eijfußCH OF BICH? DaTld Han m'« \Q,a*int Character- Uadoa € j t^e Organisation la Brought Ip tor Serious Consid eration in f Meetinic of <&c Chnreh AssoVlntion for the Ad. vancrm,;i>t of Interests of Labor. "Ever 9ince the days of the cavaliers fend rountlheads the Episcopal church has allied Itself lyith with the result that it has sained the rich and lost the people," declared Rev. W. C. Pope, of the Church of the Good Shepherd, at the meeting held last evening in the Guild hall at Christ church for the purpose of organizing a chapter of the Church As sociation for the Advancement of Labor. Bishop M. N. Gilbert presided at the meeting. Mr. Pope presented the object of the meeting in the following address: Ihe burning question of half a century ago was slavery. They talked of tha inevitable conflict," but knew not how terrible the conflict was to be. Tha burning question of today is tho relation of labor and capital. Labor or ganizes, and when opportunity offers ut telf ..bitter invectives against capital, which in turn, as in the days of St. James grinds the faces of the poor. The object of the association presented to you tonight is to bring together in one body communicants of the cnurch repre sentatives* of both capital and labor, who w ou!S w luestlons brought before them as Christians giving impartial judgment. Ihere were in Plato's day, as he informs s- lrL everv clty. no matter how small, two distinct cities, the city of the rich and r ,.the city of the poor. The Infusion of Christianity into society as then or ganized produced effects which were as tounding. The once proud Roman sena tor might have his slave for his bishop, boclai differences were reduced to a minimum for Christians were one in Lnrist. The power of the gospel is mani fested when all sorts and conditions of men kneel together at the table of the Lord. Such a thing would have been im possible in ancient Rome. The caste sys tem in India is an instance of the extent to which men will hold aloof from each other. lou will want to know what this asso ciation proposes to do. In New York it has been succesgfol in preventing strikes. We want to form an organization which will command the confidence of employer and employe to which appeal for arbitra tion can be made. In the Liberty silk works of New York a strike ha 3 just been settled by arbitra tion. One of the difficulties was the foul language used by the foreman to the girls. Men have told me of the brutal way in which gang bosses sometimes talk to their men. An immense amount of suffering, mental as well as physical, is endured m this world, of which the suf ferers do not dare to complain Carroll D. Wright, United States com missioner, considers that a panacea for all the ills of workman would be what he calls "decent treatment." Two classes of "women go to balls the one class pays for their clothes, the oth er does not. Hoaest women should re sent being classed with dishonest ones The unpaid seamstress ought to find a friend in our society. David Harum observed that in Homer ville when n person wanted to put on 1• lehheI ehhe^ c J°ined 'the " 'Piscopal church, and had what they called dinner at 6 o'clock " hver since the days of the cavaliers and roundheads, the Episcopal church has ?w d,. !t£ elf wi.th wealth, with the result that it has gained the rich and lost the people. The son of God was made man, and took upon the form of a servant. He was n?m gladly people ' and the Pe°Ple heard ™wthe cnui:c? of our love ia ever to be what we wish it, it must espouse the cause not of the few, but of humanity T^.Gaskell, who followed, S>oke on Why Do Not Men Go to Church?"

Would he not feel grateful to God for the many bless ings around him, ,and would he not feel like thanking God by going with hi 3 family to the house of prayer?" 'We are, in a true sense, 'our brother's keeper,' " said Bishop Gilbert. "We can not live in society unless we hay« that feeling It In a painful fact that our church has not interested herself so much in the past as might be desired in the amelioration' of the condition of human ity The majority of the parishes are made up largely _of laboring people I mean people who labor with their head and those who labor with their hands Those who .do not labor at all are the drones of society.' What we really want to do is to find a way to bring into more .sympathetic, contact the two laboring classes. I emphasize the fact .that we are all laboring men. I would be glad to see a chapter of this society organized." At the conclusion of Bishop Gilbert's remarks, Rev W. C. Pope, after some discussion, introduced a resolution that was passed favoring the organization of a chapter, and Revs. W. C. Pope, C. D. Andrews and E. Dray were designated as a committee to arrange for another meeting to perfect an organization to be held during the week, commencing Jan. 15.

The plans of Mrs. Minnie Chrlstianson, living- at 103 Valley street, to do some Christmas shopping- yesterday were rude ly interfered with by a bold highwayman, who held her up In broad daylight at Valley and Jackson streets, and robbed her of her purse, containing $30. The robbery happened shortly after 8 o'clock. Mrs. Christiansen had started down town and had Just turned the corner onto Jackson str^st, when she heard some one behind her. 1 No other pedestrians wore in sight.

Michaud Bros- POLICE STOOD SOLID NO REDVER9 BULLISH BUSINESS ABOUT OOH ANDREW KIE PER'S BRAVES THEY WERE SOON LIKE DEWEY When the Telephone Company Dar«d Them to Be at a Certain Street Corner at 3 O'clock They Went Out at 2.30 and Waited far the Whole Show—Did Not Lose Any Gnm, Either. Some days ago the Ncrthwestern Tele phone company commenced suit against the city for $3,800, alleged to be due for rent of 'phones from Jan. 1, 1893, to date. The legal department of the city claimed that this was partly a bluff on the part of tho company, to get the city to set up a defense that the telephones used by the city were to be free of charge, under the ordinance granted to the company by the council. A repre sentative of the corporation attorney's office informed the assembly committee on streets yesterday how "foxy" the of fice was in not being drawn into the trap, which, it was alleged, the telephone company has laid for the city. The committed was also informed by the legal department, that the telephone company had taken a new tack, and had served notice that work would be com menced on a line of poles, to be used for its long distance lines, at Fairview and Selby avenues. The attorney for the tele phone company gave notice that the work would bo commenced at 3 o'clock yester day afternoon at the point mentioned, and with this announcement a force of police was ordered to the scene with in structions to prevent the erection of any poles, even if all the employes of the tele phone company had to be arrested. The police arrived on the scene half an hour earlier than the working gangr from the telephone company's office. When the wagon bearing the workmen arrived at the spot there was a parley between the forces. The policeman who acted as spokesman for the forces of "your mayor" issued a proclamation to the ef fect that any one attempting to erect a post, or even dig a post hole, would be seized and placed in the bastile. The foreman of the telephone company's gang inquired If this was an ultimatum, or words to that effect, on the part of the city, and was informed that it was. With this the telephone forces hied themselves to the wagon on which they drove to the scene and were whirled back to the city. The police, after standing around half an hour longer, also retired from the battle field. Manager Freedy, of the telephone com. pany, said last evening that he had no knowledge as to what action would be taken by the legal representatives of tha company. He had been ordered to scud a working crew to Fairview and Selby avenues, to put up a line of poles. This had been done, but the men had returned with the statement that the police would not allow the work to proceed, and threater.3d to arrest them if anything was done. It is likely that as socn as papers can be prepared, a writ of mandamus will be applied for by the company, directing the city engineer to Issue a permit for the erection of the poles desired to be put up by the company for its long distance lin'?s. Under the franchise granted the company in ISBS, it is expressly stated that when new pole lines are to be erected by the company application must be made to the city engineer, and on his approving of the line the company can go ahead with its work. The prearranged attempt to erect poles yesterday is the first step toward having the question settled by the courts. Smokers' Holiday Presents.
