Iowa. DB, SESSCAIS LECTL'KE At the Woman's Clnb Last Evening. The announcement that the Kev. Davis Sessums was to lecture at the parlors of the Woman's Club caused an immense outpour ing of ladles last night. An hour before the appointed time the rooms were crowded but expectant visitors continued to arrive.

The corridors, stairway and adjoining rooms were packed as never before and hundreds turned away after vainly seeking entrance. The courteous officers of the club exerted themselves to make all comfortable but even those in the favored positions found It difficult to hear and Impossible to see. Preceding the lecture a delightful little musical performance was given. Miss Marie Wolf played an exquisite pi -mo solo. Mls Corinne Vaught gave a splendid rendition la soprano of Oltana." Miss Kate Corkery wa roundly applauded for ner soleodld contralto TscaUizalloa of "Marguerite." Then followed the event ot tue evening the lecture ou "Agnostic Fiotlon," by Kev.

Davis Sessums, rector ot Christ church. Mr. Sessums is an interesting speaker, a deep tuinaer perhaps too profound for the average audieuee and a clever writer. He, of course, made bis remarks apply particularly to Mrs. Ward's wonderfully popular book.

"Robert Elsmere." Owing to t.ie lee of tae audience and the imperfect acoustics It was impossible to hear wast tne lecturer said from tne place where the Picayune's representative stood. Notwithstanding the erowd the lecture was a success in both a financial and literary point ot view. The receipts were among the largest ever taken at a mite meeting of the oiuo. TEMPERANCE MEETING. There was a mission meeting of the Trinity Church Temperance Guild held last night at the TJppr Bethel onder the auspices of Kev.

A. G. Bake well of Trinity chapel. Kev. Mr.

Carradine ot the Carondelet Street Methodist church delivered an address on lntemperanoe, bringing out In strong colors the manner in which ardent spirit darken the Intellect and weaken tne eoostitutlon. Tbe reverend gentleman spoke of the many dangers attending the Bailor at sea, bnt assured those present that there waa aa snnoh and perhaps more to be feared on dry land where liquor was In abundance and more easily obtained. Mr. Carradine made some One comparisons with regard to tne arguments used by those who indulge too tresly in aleoholio drinks. It might be admitted that strong drink gave the imagination more soope and the mouth greater facility of speech for the time being.

Yet. when its effect had passed away it left tbe mind more desolate and the body weaker than before. Mr. Carradine concluded his address by entreating all those present, especially the sailors, to shun alcoholic drinks that injure In any way the mind or body. After the address prayer was offered by Rev.

Mr. Bakewell. wno invited the sailors the eome forward and take the pledge, many of whom did so. There will be a tamperanoe meeting next Friday week.

Children Attending Schools Ontside the District to Which They Beside to be Undisturbed.

Private Classes to Continue for This Session Only. A Colored School to be Located in the Laurel Building. Certain Branches of Study Abolished lu Primary Schools. The board of directors of the public schools of tbe city of New Orleans met last night in regular monthly session. President W.

H. Chaffe in the chair, Secretary Blaine Jamison at the desk, atd Directors Buck, Wileon, Howe. Eecomer, Morris, Yennl, Ford, Kruttschnltt, Maginnis, Keroaghan, Leche, Aikman, Conley, Loeber, Lyman and Chiapellaln attendance. The report of Superintendent showed tout during too year juat closed 18.771 pupils were borne on tne roils, which, while less tuan the year 187. is a better average attendance.

Daring the first week of December, ixs-i. a examination was Held for teaciiera' certidoares. There were 84 applicants, of whiei number 64 were females aud 4 males. Tne superin-u i.ileut, in the work of examination, was assisted by tue secretary aud the faculty of tbe Boys' Higu MohooL The result has beeu submitted to tbe committee on teachers. The evil complained of In a former report, regarding private classes, was dwelt on, and it was recommended by the superintendent that action be taken to discontinue same.

Reports received on tliia subject from the priucipala show that these private classes are heid aiuiost entirely by principals aud first assistants, and not by the lower salaried teacaers. Tbe communication received from retail book dealers by th mayor and by him referred to toe board, was made the subject of lo restlgallon. Tne sueruitendent fonnd that the teachers lnteilrred but little with the dealers. The superintendent recommended that the request of Miss M. White, principal of the kiuderrarten department of the Mc-Donogii Souool So.

22. bet granted and tne oaine rule uo granted to oilier kindergarten aepartments ol the system. "Cnildien snail be admitted at the age of 6 years." Ine queeuou of children attending sohools of the district lu whioh tuey reside was Paid to be a source of great oomplalnt. The superintendent hud instructed the principals, on the opening of the schools, iu be ginning tnelr annual register for tbe aea.lou. not to register pupiis living out of the district, but to notify taeui to attend tue schools lu tue district iu winch they resided.

This order was countermanded by the request ot the president and tae chairman of oommlt-lee on teachers. Tne superintendent requested the board to determine tne proper time for the enforcement ot tbe district system. The contusion was tuougot to arise from the fact that the aohelasuo year does not begin at the same unie as tne nnancial and election of teachers. Tne supeiintendent did not totok mat the transfer of a few nundred pupils to tbeir proper schools would work Irreparable injury. The report recommended an appropriation of S6O0 for providing charts for use in the primary departments.

Alter a close examination of the work to be done in tne principals' departments the superintendent fouud that too much is required of both teacher aud pupils, and hence reoemmetded a discontinuance from date of tne studies of civil government and familiar science. Trsaaurer Hardy reported the following bank balances: 1889 SCSI AO. S719 23, 186 S375 44, 18S5 SKtt 187s t3'J 30. 1S77 235 10, 1876 $16 66. 1673 110 51, 1874 111 76; total 12645 40.

Mr. A. 8. Lecbe reported having visited the schools of the First district. lue Clio, McDonogh 13, McDooogh 11, Webster and Franklin aoaools were among these.

A in.rieu improvement was found in Clio and the discipline in a fair way to rank with other achools of the district. Tne pupils show improvement In their appearance. The ouildlng requires immediate attention and many supplies are wanting. The same applied to tne other schools. Dr.

Howe, chairman of tae Third district committee, reported the condition of the souooinouBes as materially improved. Many of the schoolhouses or the district are of wood, and particular attention is called to the exposure from hre in certain sohools. fa tue event ot a are tne confusion and lliniifd means of escape would result in a terrioie loss of life. I ne above applies to McDonogh 9 with 30 pupils, ot McDonoga So. 2 with 400 girls, McDonogh No.

3 with same number of boys, the Mariguy with 350, the Washington No. 1, gins, with 400. None of tnese schools are provided wiui any escapes or otner means of exit bat Dy tne. stairs, and iu many the stairs are uutside of tne building. While writing this report Dr.

Howe was reminded by Mr. Leche that the DeSoto schooiuouse, during souool hours, was burn; to the ground in ten lnluutes. To oovlale as much aa possible this dantcer, he recommended the immediate introduction ot a Urn drill to be a part of the regular school exercissB. The cummiitee on schoolhouses recommended that each room of the various souool. be provided wiiu a tnermometer, and that each teaoner be required to proper-Li' venuiaie uis or her room.

Toe committee on supplies reported tuat forty-eight schools had been provided witn 1776 bands ot coal costing 193 1 88. Tbe board considered the recommendation of the superintendent aud decided to postpone action in tbe mailer of children attending schools outside of the district In which they resided.

The question of private classes held In publlo school bntldlngs after eoliool hoars was then taken np. There was considerable discussion of the question, some members believing that the practice ought to be stopped at once, while others thought that no aotlon should be taken for the present. Dr. Howe moved that action be not taken until the end of the eohoiasuo year, next July. Mr.

Chlapella, desiring that the private classes lu publlo scnool buildings- be abolished, moved to lay Dr. Howe's motion on the table. The motion receiving the votes of Messrs. Chlapella, Wiushlp and Aikman. waa lost and the original motion not to take action antll July was carried.

Anting in aooordance with the report of the superintendent, the board decided to abolish tne study of civil government, natural science and poysloal geography In thn primary schools, it being considered that the high school was the proper place for these branches. A lively discussion then took plaoe aa to wnether or net the sa of cakes, oandiea and pies ought to be allowed iu the publlo schools. Mr. Esooffier thought the sale of such articles should be forbidden and made a motion to that effect. Mr.

Maginnis pleaded the case for the boys and girls most eloquently and patnetically. Mr. Wilson oould not see any harm in allowing the children to Invest their money In cakes and candies. Mr. Esooffier oojeeted to the sale because It was an Injustice to lloense payers.

It the schoolhouses are to oe evolved Into cake shops they should get out licenses. Superintendent as ton made a glorious defense for the "stage plank" and "scolloped spelling book" wnioh from time immemorial were the schoolboy's best friend and companion. Mr. Kruttschnltt moved to table Mr. Es-eottier's motion, which was done by "a large majority." Tne committee on redlatriotlng and re-grading asked for farther time to report.

Mr. P. 8. Lawton of Algiers having offered to the board, free of rent, the use of a suitable building for school purposes, the committee on teachers was authorised to organize a whit and eolored school to be known as Lawton School. The board voted lu thanks to Mr.

Lawton lor the offer, whioh was accepted. Mr. Maginnis stated that the Bt. Mary's, DOT" Si? -LrU eolored, located on ot. Mary, near Pulton, was in a very bad eondluoo.

and that inasmuch as th Laurel School was unoccupied, moved that a transfer be mad at one. He was actuated lu th premise by the fact that he did net think tt tn lkep tue cmidi-Ma area tae were colored. la a plaoe which had been abandoned as unsuitable for horse. Mr. Kruttschnltt.

while agrcelncln the propriety ot maklDg aebance, did not consider it advisable to do so to the Laurel Scnool. The property holders and the resident lu the vicinity had several times protested aealnat having a eolored sehool located in that Deighbornood. as it depreciated their property and things generally. Mr. Lyman thought the board ought respect publlo sentiment.

Mr. Msglnnis said there was more order and discipline in eolored schools than in white schools, and saw no reasoa for om-plaint. Moreover, nobody had complained to him, chairman of theoommittee on school-houses, exoept three property holders. Tbe question was put aud Mr. Maginnis' motion was carried.

Mr. Kruttschnltt gave notice that, having voted in the affirmative, he would move a reconsideration at tne next meeting. The board went into executive session, after whioh it adjourned. THAT CANTANKEROUS OLD WOMAN Described in the nursery ballad, who "lived npou nothing but victuals and drink," and yet "would never be quiet," was undoubtedly troubled with chronie Indigestion. Her vlioals, like those of many other elderly persons whose digestive powers have become impaired, didn't agree with her.

This was before the era of Hos tetter's stomach Bitters, or some one of her numerous friends and relatives would undoubtedly have persuaded her to try the great specirJo for dys-peala, constipation aud biliousness. This would have been a measure ot self-protection on their part, for she would soon have been cured aud caused to disturb tbem witn her clamor. The most obstinate cases of indigestion, with Its attendant heartburn, flatulence, constant uneasiness of the stomach and of the nerves, are completely overcome by this sovereign remedy. Chills and fever aoa bilious remittent, rheumatism and kidney troubles are also relieved by IS. MTfiOKimg AND MISHAPS.

During all these years it has been in constant use and has been literally one ot the family. Great musicians have played upon It and Lave been delighted with it. It has never been tuned since it left your store and notwithstanding this its tones are so tall and true.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Henry Andry, who went to Cincinnati for his son Seymour Andry, whom be accused of having robbed him of S3S0 on Saturday last, returned to tne eity with the young man In custody. Seymour Andry confessed his guilt, and made a statement charging John Gaugh, the young paper carrier, who claims he was bulldozed into giving a oheok for the amount stolen to Mr. Andry's brother, who was left In charge of his business during his absence. The young man said to a Picayune reporter that his father gave him the money, 1360, and he put ic in his pocaet.

Alter he had gone up stairs to bed he (Seymour Andry) left the house with tne money in his pocket and sought Gaugh whom he found near his house on Co nil, between Roman and Prieur streets. He gave Gaugh the pocketoook with the money in it, and the latter went into nls house. About teu minutes afterward he came out, and tbey walked to tue corner of Bienville and Claiborne streets, when Gaaga told him ne would go to Andry's house to see what Andry had to say ab jui the stolen money. At half-past 11 o'olock Seymour Andry says be was to have met GaucU at tne ooruer of Camp aud Gravier streets by appolutsuent, but Gaugh was not there, a boy, however, toid Andry that Gaugh would meet him at 12 o'clock, aud punctual to the moment Gaugh appeared. He had 150 with him, and asking Andry to accompany him went to a store on Poydras street, wnere he purchased a valise and a lot of warm clothing and shirts and collars.

He theu told Andry he had better leave town aud they went to the Queen and Crescent othoe, where Gaugh purcnased a second class ticket to 'ew York via Cincinnati for t24, Gaugh then went to the States office and directed Andry up stairs in tbe composition room, where he left him. Meantime Detective Kerwin came in search of GauiiU aud the latter came down and met an officer to wnom he (Andry afterwards learned) promised to give nim np at 6 o'clock that evening. Audry tnen proposed to Gaugh to surrender nimseif If tnere was an officer dowu stairs, but Gaugn told nlin that It was only a deputy sheriff who wanted to see him, Gaugh, aoout a bond. Gaugh got bis papers aud Handing Andry lid aud tne railroad ticket walked to the corner of Chartrea and Canal streets, where Gaugh told him to go on down to the depot and tase the train. Andry went down and waited aroaod tbe depot until the train started aud he went to Cincinnati, wnere he waa arrested.

He had tie left when apprehended, having spent 'l for meals. He alleges that for ihe past six months he had been la tne habit of giving Gaugh sums ranging from S2 to IS every week, which Gaugh would deposit in tbe bank. Gaugn had frequently urged him to take more, saying "Wny don't you take more from the old mant Give him a good pinch." Mr. Andry stated to the reporter that be had often warned his son against, Gaugh, whom he suspected but could find nothing against. Gaugh oame to his saloon at 10 o'clocg on the mornlne of the roboery aud asked some questions in regard to the affair, to which Andry replied that he had lost uoUHat.

Subsequently Gaugh was brougnt I bera by Corporal Cooper and Sieoial Officer Kaure aud ne offered to give Mr. Andry bis bank deposit book, whioh he, nowever, refused to accept. Subsequently he offered tne book to the officers to make good the $350 stolen, but tney also declined to accept it. He was brought to the third precinct station, wnere be was held until 4 o'olock Sunday morning, when he admitted that Seymour Andry bad left on the train. Deteottve Kerwin stated to the reporter that he went with Gaugu at o'clock Saturday evening according to agreement bnt he tailed to deliver np Seymour Andry as he bad promised.

Corporal Cooper and Speeial Officer Ranee then arrived and took Gaurh off with tbem. On Sunday Mr. John Knight's assistant at th Queen and Cresoent ticket office informed him that Gaugh had purchased tne ticket and be there noon arrested him on Sundry night. On Wednesday evening a telegram was reoeived from Mr. Andry instructing them to arrest Gaugh, as he had the money, and be did so.

When Gangh was brought to Chief Hen-nessy's offiee, he burst into tears and offrred to repiaoe the stolen money, bat tbe chief told mm he did not want his money, bat wanted the money stolen from Mr. Andry. Gaugh again offered to give him a check tor the amount stolen, but lbs euief again refused to accept any exoept the stolen money. Kerwin waa then plaoea in onar.tr ox the a excused and took him oat. Gaugh then conducted bioi to a numb'r of piaoes aud endeavored to borrow money but was unsuccessful.

At the St. Charles Hotel they obtained a blank check and at Andry's saloon Gaugn signed the check and gave tt to Mr. Anrirv. who filled It out for the amount stolen from Mr. Andry.

Kerwin and Pruiuaier were present when tbe etiejk was presented the following morning, but did not remain at the bank after Gaugb's lawyer had proles ed against its payment, as they had nothing to do with the collection of the money. Seymour Andry will doubtless be arraigned before Recorder Dreux to-day.
