Mr.

Let us return to old-time simplicity, and not resort to technicalities. Mr. Atkinson here moved that the attorney and bailitt be instructed to open and report returns. Mr. O'Connell.

The President ought not to entertain this motion. Ho can not. The rules do not provide for the opening and announcing of the result of an election by the attorney, secretary, architect, or any other officer but the President, and tue law ought to be observed. President Hickman. The Chair knows what the rules of the board are, and will call the Vice President to the chair.

Mr. O'Connell. We are sworn to obey the law, and I call upon the members of this board to pay atteniton to this. Mr. Atkinson said that for three years of his experience in the board.

this question had not come up. and he could not understand why it should be sprung to-night. He wanted the law obeyed, but didn't understand it the way it had been explained by Mr. O'Connell. After considerable discussion.

Mr. O'Connell referred the gentlemen to the rule which says the President shall open and announce the vote not the Vice President. Mr. Bornmueller called attention to the fact that President Hickman was a candidate and could not announce his own election. President Hickman put a sudden stop to the debate by ruling all discussion out of order.

Mr. O'Connell appealed from the decision of the Chair and was ruled out of order. The reports of the attorney, architect and other officers were recelved and filed. The report of the Buliding Committee was then taken up and Mr. O'Connell moved that section 9, in reference to school desks, be laid over until next, meeting.

Mr. Bornmueller moved suspension of the rules, and the yeas and nays were called for by Mr. Atkinson asking if the Noble desk was selected for superiority. Mr. Bornmueller replied that it was.

The rules were suspended and Mr. Bornmueller then said he desired to place his committee right before the public. He and the members of the committee had been, charged with corruption. The committee had chosen one desk because it was the best. The committee had acted faithfully and had been honorable in all its transactions.

Its members were ready to face the world on this proposition, and Mr. Bornmueller denied the right of any one to accuse the committee having done wrong when the members had done their just and faithful duty. A motion to lay over until next meeting was lost, and Mr. to a question of privilege, made a lengthy explanation of the action of the committee. He moved the adoption of the report of the eommittee, and after discussion of the mode of advertising employed by the committee the Chair ruled that the sending out of postal cards was advertising.

Mr. O'Connell appealed from the decision of the Chair. The Chair was sustained and the report of the Building Committee in favor of the accepted desk adopted by a vote of 16 to 9. The Teachers' Committee report was taken up and adopted as a whole, after discussion of the eighth section of the teachers' report and the report of the joint committee of the teachers' and salary committees In reference to the appointment of Miss McCulloch as the instructor of programme class of the kindergarten teachers in addition to her present position of Supervisor of Kindergartens, and that $225 be added to her salary. Mr.

Atkinson went Into a lengthy recital of the old kindergarten troubles, in explanation of why Miss McCulloch was tendered this additional position and salary. Mr. Foerstel asked that the matter be laid over until the next meeting, stating that he bad made this motion not because he was opposed to the appointment, but thought time enough should be given to investigate the advisability of the matter.

It was 2 o'clock yesterbefore the last of Mr. Powderly's callers retired, and he was rapped out of bed again at dawn this morning by a party of enthuslastic workingmen who wanted to hail their chief bright and early. From that time until nightfall the stream of visitors was continuous, and in consequence the board was able to do but very little work. shali have to select certain hours for business during which we can not be inter rupted," remarked Mr. Powderly last night to a GLOBE-DEMOCRAT reporter.

MARK'S ACADEMY. A Magazine Projected for the Treatment of Catholic Topics. St. Mark's Academy held an entertaining meeting last night at the St. Louts University.

Among other things, the academy voted down the proposition to change the night of meeting. Jacob Schaefer read a Breton legend of the "'Ave Marla." The Director, Rev. Thos. Hughes, S. once more enlarged upon the theme which he had treated two weeks before.

There was need of something substantial, material, he thought, for developing their -for Instance, the starting of a magazine or review. Its object would be the spreading of a high, divine Catholic influence. The general abstract theory was good, and -they ought to look into the practical workings of the question. Two elements were in the plan, one dnancial and the other literary-very different, Indeed. The literary society would desire to be free from the financial burden.

Not merely capitailsts, but those in the business, a publishIng house, might be tnterested. It accepting the burdens it should have the emoluments. He went on to show that a managing board and editor should be appointed. He declared that publishing houses would be glad to assume the financial responsibility; facts had substantiated this general view. Debates among the members had come to the decision that a monthly would be preferable, and that a part of it should be eclectic, a part of it original.

There were articles appearing all over the world in ditferent languages which should be given to the English-reading Catholic world. Conde Pallen delivered an address, covering the same ground and urging the academy to take action. After further remarks. the motion was squarely put for the academy to assume the literary management of such a magazine. It was indicated, however, that the best writers all over the country snould be engaged.

Quite an earnest debate was had, Eugene Sievin, M. J. Sullivan and Ed J. O' Brien participating. Finally a committee of three was appointed to report on the matter at the meeting two weeks hence -Conde Palien, Ed E.

Carreras, Eugene Slevin. Dr. L. Boisliniere, the President, was added, and the meeting adjourned. HE- tea Is better if drawn one hour.

THE POLICE BOARD. Official Report of the Arrest of the Dynamiters. The Police Board met yesterday afternoon, the chief matter of interest transpiring there being the report of Chief at Police Harrigan upon the capture of the dynamite conspirators. The report is as follows: HONORABLE BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS: GENTLEMEN-I have the honor to report that since the last meeting of your honorable body, the persons engaged in placing explosives on the tracks of the street-car companies have been arrested. In this connec tion I would respectfully call to your atten tion the creditable conduct of the officers engaged on this case, which occupled so much of your time and the attention ot the public.

Sergeant McNamee informed me that Withrow. one of the prisoners arrested by the officers of this department, was willing to make a statement of his connection with the explosions. I detailed Sergeant McNamee, Detective Tracy and Special Officer Lewis to arrest the parties Implicated by Withrow. This was done on the night of the 4th the last arrest being made ut 5 o'clock the following morning. During an examination which lasted for five hours statements were elicited which, in my opinion, established the guilty complicity of the various parties arrested.

subsequently learned of Thomas Tobin's connection with the explosions. On Saturday, 7th Chief of Detectives 0' Nell detalled Detective Desmond and Special Officer Lewis, who arrested Tobin at the southern limits of East St. Louis, while in company with six of the strikers. The work done by Sergeant McNamee, Detective Tracy and Special Officer Lewis in making the arrests in this city was highly creditable, as was also the arrest of Tobin by Detective Desmond and Special Officer Louts In East St. Louis, where, under the circumstances, much courage and coolness was required.

Very respecttully, L. HARRIGAN, Chiet of Police. The board, accepting the report, thereupon passed resolutions thanking the entire police force for their faithtul course In the emer. gency, and especially commending the omcers named in the Chief's report. Officer Dougherty of the Fourth and Officer Vette of the Second District were dismissed the force for drunkenness.

The case of omcer Morgan Boland, charged with a similar offense, was continued. One of the emergency specials in the Third District was also dropped from the rolls for patronizing the flowing bowl. HE- tea must draw thirty minutes. The Cattlemen's Convention. M.

Snow is taking the Washington University people through the most gossipy series of lectures on French people of fame from Montaigne to Madame de Stael. It was Madame de Sevigne who was discussed last night for the amusement of an audience too large for the little lecture room In the University building.

The lectures are of sumclent interest to be given in the Memorial Hall rather than in the cramped, makeshift of a lecture room. Mr. Snow's lecture was as racy as the letters of the Parisian queen he depicted, and his descriptions of the life 1n the Hotel de Rambouillet full of Interest. and veritable pictures. One could almost see the quaint Montauster, the conceited shoemaker's son Volture: Corneille, the man of the future; Mollere, the first Baizae, and all of the famous wits and ladies whose broad attectations in simple recital subject them to as much ridicule as under the lash of Mollere.

Points on English Politics' will be discussed by Prof. C. M. Woodward in Memorial Hall to-morrow night, and on next Tuesday night Mr. Snow will read his lecture, from DON'T boil HE -No tea.

A special dispatch to the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT last evening from Pacific, says that 8 peddler, who is supposed to have resided at 2002 Clark avenue, St.

Louis, committed sulcide at a small place called Oakfleld, about four miles from Pacific. From letters found on his person It was ascertained that the untortunate man's name was W. W. Kay. Coroner Detwieter held an Inquest upon the body and obtained the facts of the suleide.

Mr. Gillesple, a witness, stated that he was movlug with his family from Wright County, this state, to Greenville, and as darkness overtook them at the point where the tragedy was enacted, they concluded to put up for the night. About an hour after sunset the peddler drove up to their campfire and asked permission to remain for the night. Mr. Gillesple kindly consented to the request, and Kay unhitched his team of mules and made himselt at home.

When supper WAS announced Kay was invited to partake of the spread, after which the party retired for the evening. It seems that Kay was restless during the night. and would frequently get up and walk around muttering strangely to himself. His conduct Indicated that he was troubled about something, but no one ventured to propound any Interrogatories. When breakfast was ready in the morning he partook freely, and, after finishlug.

left in the direction of his team. He mounted the vehicle and seated himself on a box. He was absent but a short time when the reports of two shots were heard in quick succession. Mr. Gillespie hastened to see what was going on and was surprised to find Kay sitting ou the wagon with 8 revolver tightly clutched In one of bis hands and the blood oozing from his forehead.

He maintained a natural position in the seat, but life was probably extinct in a very few minutes. Among his effects was found a lot of tinware, pictures, hides. hosiery and other property, and in one of his pocket 80 cents In change was discovered. From papers found on him it appears that he WAS interested in a tin store at Bollvar, Mo. He was 50 years of age, and indications point to the fact that financial embarrassment was the cause of his rash act.

Deer Hunting in the Adirondacks.

the Boonrille Herald, November 3.J The light tall of snow this week has made still hunting the desirable way of getting venIson. Still hunters and pot hunters are in their element, and under the protection of the law will savagely slaughter all the deer on which they can draw their guns. They kill for profit, and will ship the deer to market in large quantities, realizing a nominal sum for each deer killed when compared with the value of the live deer in the woods for men and tourists. The emergencies of the case for deer protection call for a law, and that at once, which will prevent the pot hunters from killing deer from the 1st or November to the lst of December. More deer are killed in this latter period throughout the woods than during the remaluder of the season, and all because the law Is not as it should be.

Legislators should gain intelligence on this subject and make a law that will prevent the operation of pot hunters. Just at the present time a pot hunter by the name of Williams. from Pennsylvania, is repeating his record of last season on the Fulton Cnain, where he kilied thirty-six deer in two weeks. It 1s probable he will kill as many this year. Such wholesale slaughter will exterminate the deer of the woods before many years.

Mr. F. M. Baker, guide of Jock's Lake country, is out of the woods and reports deer plenty, but says the law to prohibit running deer with dogs is a traud. Since the floating season commenced he reports the finding of many dead deer which escaped the hunters and have died from wounds.

What experience he has had in the woods convince him that it is better to run deer for a short period with dogs and to put a stop to floating. The American Turf Congress.

(From the Chigaco News.) I held on the point of my forennger yesterday that which was valued at 57,000. It was a pure pigeon-blood ruby weighing tour carats. It is one of the Anest specimens of this gem which has ever been brought to this country. A State street jewelry store has it and one weighing halt a carat more, but only valued at $4,000. A mate to the former one forms the center of a magnificent brooch.

It is by four one-carat rabies and twenty one diamonds: aggregating eight carats. Inave never seen an ornament so dazzling and yet so chaste. The whole was valued at $12,000. Rubles, I am told, continue to be the most tasbonable geins. They are at least the most expensive.

Fine rubles can not be had for less than $1,000. Those cheaper than that bear too close a resemblance to red glass. The emerald, too, is a very popular stone, but diamonds hold their own against all new comers. They have never deprectated in value, no matter how they hare Increased in number.

A BOOM IN THE COSMETIC TRADE. The Use of Face Paints Rapidly Increasing Among Chicago Women. the Chicago Herald.) is the life of trade remarked a State street druggist. use of cosmetics is rapidly Increasing in this city, as you may hare noticed. Within the last six months there has been a growing activity in this line, and I suppose we sell three times as much of these goods we did a year ago.

I can't account for It, except that It now 'the ostyle' to use some sort of face preparation. stylo' 15 everything with the ladies, from complexion to hair, and from hair to If a thing becomes known as 'the style' there'll be a run on it, you know, no matter what it is. You can see about as many 'greased faced' women ou the streets of Chicago now as in New York or Palladelphia. though not 50 many as In Baltimore or ton. never saw greasing carried to such extremes as it is in Washington.

It Is positively a relief to find a woman on the street there with a natural complexion. some of our dealers have adopted the Eastern tion of having tollet parlors, in which they fix up the faces of amateurist. ladies, and this has helped along the boom. The cosmetic trade is getting to be quita varied. There are hundreds of varieties of blooms, rouges, powders, in the market, and one must keep nearly all of them.

Then there are the Sennaar and other crayons for the eyebrows, blanc de fear de lis, pearl powder, rouge de Carthase Hesperide. bloom of Ninon. dine, Medicated Itubber Gloves, P'ompelan Wrinkle Removers, and 80 on. I do not beHove in all this hue and cry about the poisonous effect of cosmetics. They may ruin the natural complexion, and doubtless do.

but they are in no way dangerous. The rush in Chicago is for face cream or powder. Color is not so popular as In the East. though most ladies keep little on hand for special occasions, or for touch on the lips or cheeks. of course, sone of the cheap preparations are no better than paints.

some women are reckless enough to use blanc de perle. which, being composed of pure oxise of bismuth, and being insoluble in alkalles, is removed only with great tv. After repeated usings it can't be taken off at all, and women who get into this predicament are, like Nero's wife Poppma. who used paste so hard that it could be KOL off only by a hot bath In asses' milk. There are hundred of girls and women in Chicago who literally go year after year as the Seythtan woman did, without washing at all.

When their complexion fades a little they put on more of the paint. Of course, the Freuch beat the world in the preparation of face lotions. but some of our American manufacturers are close behind them in the matter of powders and creams. In coloring the French Ir the party who has been telling the Laclede Mill that my purifer Infringed his patent, and making threats to sue the proprietors of this mill for using my purifler, will call at the office of Knight patent law. yers, corner Broadway and Olive street, and give them the date of his patent, it he has one, I will be obliged to him.

Ellsworth, kan. L. STERSBERG. Mad Dogs in England. Letter to the Editor of the Daily Telegraph For the past six months I have in my praoc tice had to deal with at least one case of decided rabies every week.

When It is considered how easily the disease is transmitted from one animal to another, often by a mere casual snap, and thence to the human being, it is not surprising that Mr. Carttar, the ner at Blackbeatti, should on Friday last hara declared that, having had three cases of hrdrophobia to deal with in a fortnight, lie thought it his date to communicate with the Commissioners of Police, 1wish 110 diminish the terrible effects of hydrophobia by out how the disease mny easily be noted in its earlier stages, and preventive measures at once be taken. If an animal slabbers from the mouth, and has a hanging of the lower jaw, accompanied by a pecular change in the bark, it is a clear case of dumb rabies, quite as contagious as the other form. Toe other form of rabies is more dangerous, because the dog knows his master and is even more friendly than usual. but exhibits a nervousness, snapping at everything that offends him and having, that peculiar rabid bark which.

oncec heard, can never be forgotten. If there is 'thes slightest alteration in the bark of a dog it should at once be put in qusrantine. If any one has the mistortune to be bitten by a mad dog the best thing to do is to suck the wound at once. drawing as much blood as possible. This is tar better than cauterizadon.

Polloe officers or other officials should be empowered to destroy all dogs, whether are under the control of their owners or not, a to in a rabid state, and also all dogs which may have been bitten by a rabid animal. By that means I should hope altimately to exter. minate that terrible disease, which, without some check, may develop Itself luto a real epidemic of hydrophobia. of he to of of placed God. 190 the '10 to.
