Mass temperance meeting Tuesday even ipg-_ Made Possible One of the largest successes in the way of Flavoring Ex tracts in the world is the Price Flavoring Extract Com pany. Their success is attributed to the perfection of Dr. Price’s Delicious Flav oring Extracts. This perfec tion was made possible through the new processes discovered by Dr. Price for extracting from the true fruits their natural flavoring proper ties. Any housekeeper that will use Dr. Price’s Orange, Lemon, Vanilla, or any other flavor, will pronounce them faultless. The purity of Dr. Price’s Flavors offers the best secur ity against the dangers which are common in the use of the ordinary flavoring extracts in the market. THE PRACTICE SCHOOL. The Plan Proposed for Remodelling and Improving It. The Location Discussed by the School Board Last Evening—Suggestion Made to Move It to Carroll street But the General Sentiment Was In Favor of Chestnut Street. A special meeting of the School Board was held last evening, Mayor Ingraham presiding, and all the other members be ing in attendance. The meeting was called to hear the report of the special committee, Messrs. Bradley, Brownson and Blake, appointed at the last regular meeting, to consider the advisability of abandoning the Spring street school house, remodelling the Practice school and removing it to some other school building. Mr. Bradley, of this committee, re ported at some length. He said the com mittee had visited the various school houses in the western part of the city and had carefully considered the extent and condition of their accommodations. The committee were unanimous in re commending that the Spring street school house be abandoned. There are now but about 125 pupils attending ““Viv auu IUOJ v^au UC J.CUU11J uiauiuutcu among the neighboring schools, without overcrowding. While the Spring street houe is in good repair, so far as the school rooms are concerned, the basement is in wretched condition, making it necessary to expend a considerable sum of money to put it into proper shape, if a school is to be continued there. The committee considered the suggestion of abandoning the Park street school house or the Brackett street school house, but both seemed to them to answer their purpose better than the Spring street building. Be sides it would be difficult to distribute the pupils properly, if either of these houses was given up. Mr. Bradley then passed to the pro. posed plan of remodelling the Practice school. It was recommended that the course hereafter be but one year and that the Practice school teachers re ceive no pay. The Practice school should be removed to some one of the present primary schools in which the regular corps of teachers shall be re tained. Ten practice teachers shall be admitted each year. It is proposed to give Miss Taylor, the present principal of the Practice school, charge of the building to which her school may be re mnvprJ TYnrincr a. nnrfinn nf flio /io-ir slie would instruct the training teachers in the theory of teaching and for the re mainder of the day they will be distribu ted among the various rooms in the building to observe and assist the older teachers in their work. It is believed that this will work greatly to the advan tage of the teachers in training, and also be a benefit to the children who attend the Practice school. The young teach ers can be sent to other schools to ob serve the work from time to time as in the judgment of the principal may seem wise; or they can be utilized as substitute teachers a part of the time, at the discretion of the princi pal and school board. Mr. Bradley next reported that the committee would recommend that the Practice School be removed to the Mc Lellan schoolhouse, on Carroll street, it having been ascertained that the accom modations there are suitable. Mr. Webb made some objection to giving up the Spring street schoolhouse. He thought the Park street schoolhouse could better be abandoned. He also thought the McLellan schoolhouse too far at one end of the city to be suitable for the Practice School. A school build ing for this purpose should be centrally located, and on or near the line of the Dr. Thompson suggested that the Chestnut street school building would be admirably adapted for the purposes of the Practice school. It has all the requi sites suggested by Mr. Webb. Mr. Brownson stated that Miss Taylor had informed him during the afternoon that she would prefer to go to the Chest nut street building, in case it should not be deemed advisable to remove the Prac tice school to Carroll street. He had no doubt that the Practice school could be well accommodated at the Chestnut street school house, ana that it would be for the advantage of the pupils in that dis trict to have it moved there. Mr. Bradley also favored Chestnut street as the location; Mr. Webb and Mr. Blake also thought well of the proposi tion while the others expressed no de cided opinion. In case the Spring treet building is given up, probably the greater part of the pupils will go to Park street school. Final action in the matter was deferred until the regular meeting next Monday evening. Y, P. S. C. E. Excursion. Over 250 Maine delegates already have received tickets for the excursion to New York July 5th, and the committee are confident that the party from the Pine Tree State will number at least 400. The Hotel Normandie and three large board ing houses have been engaged for the Maine crowd. This will be the eleventh National Christian Endeavor Convention and in point of attendance and entliu sism will far surpass any of its prede cessors. Accommodations for board have been engaged.

ON FIRE WITH ECZEMA Terrible Sufferings of little Baby. Seven Doctors and Two Hospitals Fail. Cored by Cuticura. My baby boy, 6 months old, broke out with eczema. The itching and burning was intense; the eczema spread to his limbs, breast, face, and head, until he wa< nearly covered; his torturing agonies were pitiable to behold; lie had no peace and but little rest night or day. He was under treatment at different times at two hospitals and by seven doctors in this city without the least benefit; every pre scription of the doctors was faithfully tried, but he grew worse all the time. For months 1 ex pended about $3 per week for medicines, and was entirely discouraged. I purchased Cuticura, Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Resolvent and followed the directions to the letter. Re lief was immediate, his sufferings were eased, and rest and sleep permitted. He steadily im proved and in nine weeks was entirely cured, and has now as clear a skin and is as fair a boy as any mother could wish to see. I recommend every mother to use it for every Baby Humor.

About all the leading New York makers are represented here.

OWEN, MOORE & CO, On June 25TH, 1876, Gen. George A. Custer lost his life in the Black Hills. Two of his^brotherSj a brother in-law and many other gallant soldiers perished with him. With an insufficient force, he attacked Sitting Bull, the result being one of the most memorable mas sacres in the annals of our In dian warfare. Sitting Bull made his escape to Canada.
