"How can I get my baggage?" nervously inquired an excited man of genial Ed Landis of the Seventh Avenue hotel, yesterday. "I've lost my check and I've got to get my baggage, because I'm going right away." "Have to pay for it if you haven't got the check," said Ed. "Better look iti your pockets, though." "But I have.

1 looked through every one and 1 know the check is lost. I looked ail over room, too, and it ain't there. Now, don't argue; its lost, 1 know it. Just my luck! And I had it in my hand not half an hour ago. But, here, give me my money; I must catch that train." And the nervous man produced the check for the envelojm of money he had had placed in the safe the day before.

He opened it with trembling lingers aud unrolled the bills. Here in the heart of the roll was the missing check. The quickness with which his face brightened up, and he became chipper was astonishing. But the supreme check he displayed was the most surprising thing of all. "I knew it was in there all the time," be said.

"I don't see why you let a little thing bother yon so, Rut Ed did not reply. He admires gall and would'ut break the charm by making answer.

Cold Water Cares a Faint A Yonag tiirl ia Oue of the Daces. Last night Captain Unterbaum and Lieutenant Teeters raided a speak-easy at No. 1147 Penn avenue kont by Mrs. Oralia Collins, for whom they had warrants. She is charged with selling liquor on Sun-, day and without a license, and keeping a disorderly house.

They gave their names as Sarah Mack, Cufly Meno, Joseph Joy, Mike Romano. Frank Banna, Mike Sullivan, Anton Curfort, Jim Coff.

The latter is charge i with keeping a disorderly house, as the police fray he lives with Mrs. Collins. An amusing incident was noted. Mrs. Collins showed symptoms of hysterics when the police entered, and lay on the floor in a pretended faint.

What It Keallr Is Explaiaed by Oae oftis Best Informed Mea la America. The president of one of the leading New York Medical colleges. In conversation with the writer the other evening, said: 'La Orippe, the Russian lnflnenta, that has caused so much talk, is a more severe affliction than people usually think.

It arises mysteriously and appears to have its origin in the atmosphere. The last time it visited America was in 1S03, and it came then, as now from Asia. The name, comes from the su ingestion that the malady was due to the influences' of the heavenlr bodies, bet more modern science has discovered' that it Is due to the chang-es in the electrical conditions. Whaterer may be the cause. It is a strona: congestion of the blood vessels and mucous membrane, principally In the head and throat, and nothine but strong stimulants will cheek this congestion and keep the blood actively circulating." For thia purpose I know of nothinar better than pure whisky, and I believe Duffy's fure Malt to be the best and purest whisky known to the world.

Formerly this Influenza was said to precede an epidemic of the plairue, nd the person who was about to betaken with the latter, had as a preliminary, a tit of sneezing. Now it precedes a worse epidemlo than than the namely, the terrible pneumonia. Its beginning it slight, but its ending is often terrible. Pains in the limbs, back, chest and head; a sore throat and lack of appetite: copious discharge at the nose: these are some of the symptoms of this dread disease.Cpon thesliirhtest approach of any of these symptoms, a nervous feeling, or lassitude, resort should be had to pure whisky, which ia the only certain means of breaking up this epidemic before it secures a hold upon the system or check it when it has become started. Care should be taken, however, to secure only that which is pure, as the article above named certainly ia.

The question of corporal punishment is lieing thoroughly discussed in educational circles at present, as a result of tho trial aud ac-ouital of two teachers last week, one from McKeesport, the other from Reynoldstown, on tho charge of assault and battery for having used the rod in disciplining unruly pupils. A third case has arisen in the Second ward, Allegheny. Mrs. Harriet Kemp, principal of the Hill district school of that ward, whipped a ten-year-ohl daughter of Assessor Charles Smith after the father had told the teacher not to do so, on the ground that the girl has l.eart disease and rheumatism. Mr.

Smith said tho whipping was unduly severe, and lectured the teacher. Ho is alleged to have concluded his remarks by slappiug her in the face. Cross suits have been entered. A reporter endeavored to see Mrs. Kemp yesterday and obtain her side of the story, but she was not at home.

Prof. Daniels, an associate of Mrs. Kemp, was seen azhis residence on Federal street. He said: "I am not able to discuss the merits nnd demerits of this cae. Mrs.

Kemp has been in similar troubles at other times. She faithfully promised us then not to use rod. I lielieve in corporal punishment as one of the last resorts. Discipline must be kept in the school, and 1 think that after all other efforts have failed, the rod should be resorted to. The last prerogative is expulsion.

I thiuk a teacher has tho right to whip a disobedient pupil ruoucr-ately ami without malice. "in this particular instance the treatment of Mrs. Kemp was a shame and an outratre. The assault upon her should lie punished." Prof. John Morrow of the Board of Control of Allegheny was interviewed yesterday on the same subject.

He said: "I In lieve in corjioral punishment to a extent. It liecomes merely a question of whether a child shall lie whipped for or whether ho shall lie allowed to run the streets, learning at an early age all the bad habits and vices common in a large city. Oirls are rarely whlpped, and in most cases deserve all the punishment they get. In my reports I have found that in a year only six girls in every 1O00 are whipped. ''Pupils are sent to school by parents who have no control over the children at home aud who whip them for disoliedieiice, yet they expect the teacher to make them beliavo without whipping them or punishing them in any way.

These reports of teachers punishing children with the rod are always exaggerated The outraged paTenr sually tells a highly colored account first. The teacher is not constdtd. or her modstv declines to discuss the subject. I believe this is true in tho resent case. "If corporal punishment is abandoned some schools must be closed or certain pupils expelled, for they cannot be governed without a more strict punishment than demerits or extra work.

One bad pupil can ruin a room full. I am not iu favor of brutality, but I do countenance the use of the rod when all other expedients have failed." Miss Kemp, an Allegheny teacher, but not related to Mrs. Harriet Kemp, sftid that in some cases a hipping was tho only available resort and she believed that the me of the rod was necessary. Aprojos of the discussion the supreme court of Alabama on January 2i rendered its first decision on the extent of a teacher's right to whip children. The opinion was delivered by Judge Somerville.

He sHid that while the law seeks to protect children from the brutality of a cruel teacher or a barbarous parent, it is important not to paralyze the power of correction and discipline by the rod, which for ages has lieen deemed necessary by both parents and teachers to preserve the discipline of the school. He stated further that the right of the teachers to use the rod without malice or immoderation and for proper cause is prouounced to be so (Id a custom as to be now established as "a part of the common law of tho school room." In tho case tried the defendant was held convicted, as it was proved he showed great temper and malice. MR. BRICK'S BKILLIAXCT. Be Sates Five Dollars on an Arrest and Stirkg Sergeant Myers.

Saturday night. John Brick was locked up in the Twelfth ward station for disorderly conduct, and Edward Broderick was locked up for the same offense iu the Central. Judge McKenna sentenced Brick at the Twelfth ward station to a fine of flu and costs, and Judge Gripp lined Broderick $." and costs. Broderick couldn't pay and was remanded to his cell to take the alternative of going to the workhouse. As is usual, the workhouse prisoners from the Twelfth ward were brought down to Cent ml station after the hearing, and Brick, not having the requisite and costs, was among thein.

The Central st tion cells being crowded, it so happened that Brick was put into Broderick's cell. The men soon became acquainted and in the exchange of conndences following Brick conceived a brilliant idea. He at once utilized it by calling Sergeant Myers and informing that otlicer that he desired to pay his fine and lie released. "What name did you asked the sergeant. "Edward Broderick." The docket showed that Edward Broderick was fined and costs to the amount of 40, so the prisoner was allowed to go on payment of 40.

A couple of hours later Broderick's friends came to pav his tine, but were informed that he had gone. They were sure ho had not. After a long argument it was found that the original ami only Broderick was still in his ceil and that John Brick had gone, saving So by his little scheme. Broderick was released on payment of his and costs, and tho question that Iwithers Sergeant Myers is how to make his accounts balaui-e. There seems to be no other way than -to pay it himself.

"It is deplorable, and we much bewail the fact that there is more drunkenness in the city now than ever. The home is being turned into a saloon. as the newspapers call them, are found on every side. Only to-night, while on my way to the meeting, a wagon load of evil-doers were hurried to Central station. Inquiry revealed the fact that a dozen persons were found in one of these illegal places.

In their results they are perhaps worse than the rum holes, where liquor is sold 'accordiug to law. "TIuto is only one inference to lie drawn. The existing laws are not only inadequate for the suprssion of the liquor curse, but they do not even alleviate it. We must have prohibition. By prohibition we mean 'constitutional prohibition enforced." As to the means we are not particular, we waut prohibition.

We are not partisan; labor for drunken I emocrats and Republicans alike and we hope to be able to reach even the inebriate mugwump.

StOEE ABOl'T X1GHT CAP. 3. The FiTe-Cent I'ut Shunld Be Followed bf Another The reduction of the fare to Fast Liberty, made by the Traction companies on Saturday, at once became popular.

The effect upon the business of the road was immediately discernible, large loads being carried all flay long, much larger than ou any previous Saturday, which is always a "big day," The Pennsylvania railroad is paid to have lost some traffic by the reduction by the cable companies. A feeling of rejoicing prevails among Fast End merchants. They look for a boom all along the line of trade, consequent upon the building up and populating of the district. The real estate men predict great rises ia valuations. Builders and contractors view the change with delight, as it seems to mean great activity in those branches.

A Fourth avenue real estate dealer who was spoken to on the subject predicted great benefits from the change. But. like all the rest, he declared that the full value of East- End projierty could not be realized until all-night cars were run. Said he: "It is upon this question of night-cars that deals hinge almost every week. A man came to me yesterday with a proposition to purchase some property in East Liberty.

We went out, looked over the grounds, made terms, and everything was completed but exchanging papers when the question of night cars arose. He is a night worker, and if. was necessary ft him to be able to get to his home within a reasonable time after quitting work. All negotiations were brought to a close when he learned there are no night cars. If the Citizens and the Pittsburgh Traction companies will put on night cars to East Lilt-erty I can close that deal, as I can others.

The cable companies have done a great deal for the East End by reducing fares; they can do more by operating their lines all night." Preparing for Appropriations.

S. M. Morgan Talks Plainly About the Pastor. SEVERAL OTHER NEW FOINTS ON THE CASE. The publication to the effect that Iter.

Samuel Maxwell had entered suit before Magistrate Gripp to recover a salary due in the future, to recover for a moving which had not been, accomplished, and to recover rent for a dwelling house which had not yet been rented, proved a matter of great surprise to the vestrymen of the Trinity Episcopal church. In order to probe the matter to the bottom a Tost reporter was given the task of trying to have the members of tho vestry break that calm and deathlike silence, which has pervaded the church ever since last; June, when the trouble began. One of the vestrymen, under a pledge not to divulge his name, made this statement. "The suit is not a suit, but the notice of a threatened suit in case we do not live up to, certain agreements which he alleges we made with him. I saw the papers in the case and know exactly what I am talking alwnt.

I have not been served with any summons to appear and do not think I will. If I am, knowing exactly what the papers already prepared amount to, we can very easily make a good defense. I have objected all along to having this trouble made public, and even now I deprecate the idea of a Trinity church being dragged into such unenviable notoriety. At the same time I think our position is right, and we will stand by it. If the gentleman does see lit to enter suit against us, simply because we have seen lit to exercise one- of our prerogatives, which was to refuse to release him the house Xu.

220 Western avenue, Allegheny, he is at liberty to do so. CLAIMS THERE IS NO CONTRACT. "lie was asked quietly, by a large majority of the members of the vestry, to resign. 'This he refused to do, although he knew by remaining that dissension would continue to fxist. When the vestry decided some time ago hat it was wisest to ask for his resignation, it was done with a view to prevent any talk or comments on the part of the public.

He declined to fall in with our views on the subject, preferring to remain in his position and tight the battle out. This being the case, no alternative presented itself to us but to go 4 into court and try to show a mistake between the rector and the vestry on the question of implied contracts or arguments." The vestry of Trinity church consists of 13 gwntlemen. The death of John II. Shoen-berger made vacant the office of senior warden, which vacancy has not been fined. The members are: T.

C. Jenkins, H. G. Hale, J. Dunlevy, Stephen Mc-Candless, A.

E. Painter, B. Bakewell, A. T. Dravo, Colonr t.

M. Morgan, Charles Gormley, Andrew D. Smith, V. H. Singer, II.

L. Mason and R. li. Brown. There are 10 vestrymen thought to bo arranged against the rector.

The causes leading to the trouble are complicated and date back to last June, when Hector Maxwell refused to present the name of John H. Shoenberger to the Diocesan convention held at Oil City as a candidate for lay delegate to the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church. NO SUMMONS SERVED. Colonel A. S.

M. Morgan, one of the vestrymen, when questioned about the strained relations existing between Rev. Maxwell and the vestry, said: "I know very little about it, except what 1 saw in the paper." "Have you been served with a summons?" he was asked. "Xo, sir, I have not." "Are you in arrears for salary due Rev. Maxwell?" "Emphatically, no! We do not owe him a dollar." "Then why this alleged suit for cumulative damages?" "That is a question you will have to ask a lawyer." "Have you any contract, either written or verbal, with the rector covering any stipulated period of time for his services?" "Not that I am aware of," he replied.

I was elected a vestryman while absent from the city, or I would not hare been a member. Be v. Maxwell had been engaged before." "Then, if no specified agreement had been entered into, is not the vestry permitted to dispense with his services when his year is up?" "Again we will have to call in an attorney to answer the question. I am no expounder of the law, but, from the action taken by the vestry at the meeting last Thursday. I presume that was the conclusion they reached.

As I understand the served by Kev. Maxwell, he seeks to recover salary due possibly years in the future. According to his view of the case, we have no option in the matter except to retain in his present tion and pay him his salary. SOMETHING THEY CAK'T FORGET. "There is no use in trying to disguise the fact that the vestry as well as Mr.

Shoenberger. were very much disappointed that the latter was not sent as a tit-legate to the diocesan convention at Oil City. He had set his heart on it, having been repre-feutiag Trinity church for a number of years at tho annual conventions. Had Mr. Shoenlerger hern sent to the convention, and they refused to receive him, it would have put an entirely dilVerent face on the matter, but I lev.

Maxwell uselessly placed himself in antagonism with the designs of the members of the church when lie refused to present Mr. Shoenberger's name. "The vestry refused to renew the lease for the house now occupied by lie v. Maxwell at 'o. 220 Western avenue, and he threatens to sue, I understand, for whatever rent ha may pay in the future, as well as any expense of moving into another house.

As I said before, not knowing of any contract, agreement or specified engagement entered into by the vestry on behalf of the church, I don't see how he can recover anything. As Rev. Maxwell apparently contends that he has been engaged for the remainder of his lifetime, lie ought to be able to produce some contract or ecclesiastical law which will demonstrate that fact. Until he does, I am compelled to say that I respectfully differ with him." Several other vestrymen were seen. They had not leen served with summons, and were inclined to smile at the idea of 9.
