The April meeting of the Board of Education was held last evening in the Board Room, Bayard Street School, and was very quiet, just one little discussion saving the meeting from being entirely uneventful. Those present were President Hoagland and Messrs. Laforge, StDJqian, Helm, Sperling, Zimmerman, Eldrldge, Waker, Smith, Winckler and Deshler. After the reading of Ihe minutes the following report of attendance for the month of March was submitted by Superintendent Ryan Minutes tardy 28 Times tardy 12 rqi'l 2,243.62 Average attendance 2,163.78 Per cent, of attendance 96 Number present every day 1,352 In presenting the report Professor Ryan declared that it was an exceptionally good one and surpassed the record of all previous Marches. Although the attendance usually falls off during the cold and windy month of March, this hat been the case this year.

He stated that in the new building, particularly, the pupils have been most enthusiastic." He recommended that a new building be erected! as often as possible, as the standard of attendance would thus be kept up. The Committee on Buildings, Repairs and Furnishing reported that the boilers of all the schools had been officially examined and found it tp be in good condition and well cared The certificates of inapection were with the clerk. The Teachers Committee presented a very brief report, recommending that tne. superintendent jbe instructed to prepare the annual report and make arrangements to have its published according to the school law. The committee further stated that an application fpr a position as teacher had been received from Miss Anna Cheeseman.

The was on motion received and the recommendations embodied therein were adopted. Bills were then taken up. "In this era of reform," explained Mr. Hoagland, "it is necessary that every bill be read item by item," and he proceedee to do so. 'The members had lots of time on their hands and every bill was read over faithfully.

As a result it took nearly half an boar to dispose of the bills, as follows: Daniel Bloat Co $28 00 D.iC. Co 43 20 Maynsrd, Merrill Co 99 33 Ginn Co 7861 Reed Randolph 127 39 Fredonian Publishing Co 6 00 American Book Company 506 64 Chandler Table and Desk Co 795 60 William Morgan 307 05 John Hendruks 6 40 They were all ordered paid by the treasurer, if found correct by the auditing com mtttee. Bresident Hoagland then stated that the Graduates' 1 Association of the High Scnool had requested that the Board secure the Assembly Room, Allen, Building, on the evening of Commencement for the annual reunion of the Association. It has been the custom of the Board to provide this room yearly ilnce the High School Auditor lum had been changed into class rooms. A motion was iLade that the matter be referred to the Teachers Commit tee with power, but Mr.

Deshler on behalf of the committee asked that the matter be settled by the Board. He stated that the committee hac already considered the matter but could not recommend it. For himself, personally he was opposed to the hiring of the room by the Board as he did not think it right for school money to be devoted to any such trpose. Dr. Helm, In reply to Mr.

Deshler, declared that the association is one made up of graduates of the school, and is an important adjunct of commencement. He said that he wanted to see them get the room. Mr, Dfsbler replied that he objected on the ground of principle, not economy, although that too was a strong argument, as the Board had very little money to spare. Mr. Stillman advocated the hiring of the Assembly Room.

The expense, he said, would be very small, ani as the Association was very closely identified with the school, could not be said that the Board was go- Ing beyoud ltd powers In hiring a room ior the Mr. Sperling spoke In opposition, and very forcibly, too. Mr. Hoagland brought out the fact that when the change in the High School auditorium was made the Board had then promised to hire a room each year ior the annual reunion of the Association, as thla would be much more economical than to have the desks removed from the auditorium on each occasion and then replaced. Each year the board had taken this action.

Dr. Helm spoke in the same vein, stating that while such an action on the part of the previous board imposed no bending obligation upon the present one, yet it supplied a reason why the room should bo hired. Mr. Stillman made some very strong polntriirdefense of his position that the Board had alright to take puch action. Mr.

Waker and i Mr. Winckler made similar i statements. I Mr. Hoagland brought out the fact that all the expense of tbls, as well as of other features of commencement would come, not out of tbe money raised by taxation but out of tbe tuition fund, made up of the tuition fees of out of town pupils. A motion Was finally made and seconded that the committee be authorized to hire the theatre, Assembly Room and an orchestra for Commencement Day, June 20.

The ayes and nays were called for and motion was passed by a vote of 9 to 2, the vote being as follows: Aye, Stillman, Leforge, Helm, Zimmerman, Eldrldge Waker, Smith, Hoagland and Wiuckler No, Sperling and Deshler. An adjournment was then taken to Wednesday. April 17, when the annual budget will be made up. LAID TO REST. The Funeral of Captain Bldgeway A Touching Eulogy.

Ai briefly mentioned in last eight's TIMES, tbe funeral of Captain Joseph Rldgeway, who met suddenly in Jersey City on Saturday evening, took place from hi 8 late Hamilton street, yester- day a 2 o'clock. The body was ndsome black cloth-covered rested a beautiful bunch of calla ltis the head of Jhe casket stood a huge floral anchor 7and chain, surmounted by a white dove at the base' the words "Lighterage were inlaid with violets Tbe piece was nearly six feet in height and made principally of white roses. The parlors and adj Dining rooms were filled with relatives and friends of the de- deceased. At 2 o'clock Rev. Jacob Cooper D.

opened the burial service with a prayer and the reading of selections from the after which he delivered a touch- eulogy to the memory of the deceased. His text was taken from Mlcah XVI chapter, veree He hatfcSbowed thee Man, What is Good and what Doth the Lord Require of Thee bat to do Justly and to Love Mercy and to Walk humbly with thy In pAtfrDr. Cooper said "The deceased was c-ne of tbe class of noble men who deserve sympathy for the hardship and danger they undergo; whose work in Ufa is care for the traveling public. When death comes suddenly it carries terror with it, but it is the death our iriend did not a read. There is a silver lining in every da cloud, This man who now lies cold before you has worked lor over 50 years with a most exacting corporation and his duties placed him always in danger.

As David said, There is but one step between us and He always performed his duties with the utmost care. A man of mature life and of mature juegment; evm when a young man he showed this last qualification. For him to meet with such an end seems peculiar. He bad often passed safely through tbe place where he met his death, his object being to gala an earlier train by taking a short cut so that he could sooner reach his home and be with the wife and children whom he loved. Through this earnest desire be lost his life.

Such is the life of our friend whom we bury today. The benediction was then prononaced by Dr.

Cooper. During the services many were moved to tears by his eloquence, The interment took place in Elmwood Cemetery. The pall bearers were Captains Fallen, Phillips, Stratton, Warren, Bracken, and Langfare. Mr. F.

Wbmt He Has Done for His Fourth Ward Constltaents. To the Editor of the TIMES DEAB SIR differing from Alderman Becker in politics, I must say that I feel bound to vote for a man who has done as much in the Board of Alderm-n as he hat for the benefit of the Fourth ward. It was entirely through his i Sorts that Schureman street was repaved and made a carriage way Instead of the mountain track it used to be. He had the Sidewalk in front and on the side of Liberty Hose House re paired, and much work has been done to repair crosswalks throughout the ward. Tbe firemen owe him thanks for his efforts in theit behalf.

I repeat that I shall support Mr. Becker because I think that the best interests of the Fourth ward will be Served by returning; him to the board. FOUKTH WAHD. consisting of selections by A. H.

The work and Slbility was ctnly enlarged; "A't, that early day ttnlon effort was deemed "most advisable, and hence in 1813, the Presbyterian, Dutch Reformed and Aesoclate Jleformed bodies forming the -United Foreign Missionary Society, for the pjSfpoae ol spread. Ing the Gospel among the Indians of North America, and other portions of the heathen atitr-Ubriallan In IJSSrJ, this was merged "into, tae Congregational Board, the American Board of Commissioners, which had been organized in 1810. For along while this body was composed of Presbyterian Reformedand-Congregational members, the Old school PreaByterians withdrew 1837, and the new school In 1871 and the Reformed in 1857. With the increase of missionary Interest within the church, frequent discussions took place in the aSBjinhly aa to the organization of a separate board, the school Presbyterians especially favoring separation. In 1831, the Synod of Pittsburgh, chafing under the delay, organized its Western Missionary' Society.

Finally the troubles between the old new school culminated in the division of 1837, and the old school party at once organized the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church This was the beginning of our present hoard, and to it were transferred, after the reunion of 1S70, the funds of the new school branch.

In fact, as the law was thought have gone into effect immediately, it is possible that the entire registry list is null and void, as the law removes the old Board of Registration at once; but their successors cannot be appointed mrtU next June. In Essex county Judges Depue and Kirkpatrick have refused to sit to revive the Registry until the exact bearing of the law has been investigated.
