systems all had inadequate means of selecting and appointing proper teachers, and that all were subject to improper influences in the selection of teachers, the method of Making appointments in Boston is interesting. Certain it is that if improper teachers are chosen to fill positions in the public schools of this city, the responsibility can hardly be said to be undivided, although superintendent Seaver makes the appointments directly. to confirmation by the school committee. There is no sub-committee on teachers, the full board passing upon the appointments of the superintendent. This confirmation is never brought up until after the appointments of the superintendent have been submitted to the hoard and held over for a probationary period of two weeks.
Superintendent Seaver and the supervisors held examinations of candidates for positions in the Boston schools, yvterday, and a Globe reporter who visited the school committee rooms on Mason st found that it would be impossible to secure an interview with him. Sec Appolonto of the board, however, explained the method of selecting school teachers in Boston. "The superintendent and the board of supervisors give examinations to eandidates for positions in the public sehoole of the city," said he. "Those wile successfully pass the examinations are given a certificate and their names placed on the eligible list. "These certificates hold good' for two years, and if during that time the, holder does not secure an appointment he is given a recertification which is good for another two He does not have to take a second examination as a rule, but submits to the superintendent and supervisors a statement of his experience as a teacher during the two years he has held the certificate.
"When a vacancy occurs, or the appointment of an additional teacher Is made necessary, the superintendent maxes his selection from those who are on the eligible list. But before he does this he confers with the principal of the school in which the vacancy exists and also with the supervisor who has that particular school in charge. Then the appointment Is made and sent to the school committee for It is held here for two weeksa- sort of probationary period. during which time the different members of the school committee have -an opportunity to investigate the qualifications and the character of the appointee. 'Tee system is a very simple one, and I cannot see that the charge can be properly made that teachers for the Boston schools are selected carelessly.
I cannot say what may influence. the superintendent in selecting his candidates from those on the eligible list. He can speak for himself in that matter. "We have on file all of the examination papers of the different candidates who have secured certificates. These show in what particular branches the holder is proficient as well as those in which he may be weak.
For Instancei you may be strong in mathematics and weak in music. Some other candidate for a position in the public schools of the city may be in mathematics and strong in music. If in the particular school in which the vacancy exists they have teachers who are particularly strong in mathematics and where the instruction in music is not quite up to tile standard, of course the who happens to stand highest.in the latter would naturally be appointed the vacancy. I that as Illustration. "It Is a all of the appointments of the superintendent.
have been confirmed, and if we have incompetent teachers. he is the one to -hold responsible. SLIGHT HOPE OF RECOVERY. Frank and Walter of Wayrnotith Taken Violently Sick After Eating Parsnip. WE1rMOUTI-t, April 15This 'afternoon Frank and Walter Rowell, aged 22 and 24 ate a.

April 15 Vice Pres Hobart was resting easily today. Representative Hilborn of California Is not yet out of danger. and Representative Baird of Louisiana Is still quite Newark May Go to Samoa. WASHINGTON, April 15The Newark will sail from probably for Williams stripe to till the vacancy about to occur in the police board. There remain to be considered the "gold" democrats and the members of the party who sympathized with them, even if they did not vote with them.
Only one section of the city contains very many demoerats of these kind. and that is the Beek Bay, ward 11. The governor is fond. of appointing to 'office both democrats and republicans from this ward, but he cannot well put on the police board another resident from this part of the city. Messrs Clark and Curtis live there.
It would be unfair to put more Back Bay people on this corn- MiSSiOn. and it is said that the governor has promised that he would go elsewhere for his candidate. These limitations have removed from the list of candidates most of the men whose names might naturally be thought of in connection with an office of the kind now being considered. With the Back Bay and the silver democrats out of the question. not many promising candidates are now before the public, although the governor may have just the right man in his mind.
but that is doubtful. On Friday (3ov Wolcott offered the place to Lewis G. Farmer, a well-known democrat and formerly a member of the electiOn board in this city. Mr Farmer is now one of the national bankruptcy commissioners in this county. and the ditties- resulting from this office, cembined with the regular practice of hie profession, keep him busy.
For these reasons Mr Farmer declined the place. That he would have made a popular official goes without saying. About half a dozen other candidates have been Mentioned for the place. One of those is Judge Josiah S. Dean, formerly of South leoston, but now.of ward 25.
Mr Dean has held political office and has had experience enough to be competent to till the place. But whatever chancee he had. he threw away when he consented to give an evening newspaper an interview the other day. In this statement Mr Dean told what he thought of the position, of its requirements and what sort of a man should be selected. That made his appointment almost- out of the question.
Ex Representative Alfred S. Hayes of ward .12 is actively in the contest. He relies largely on the number of names signed to a petition in his behalf which has been circulated among the legislators on Beacon Id! by Senator lanes and Representative Clerke. Without reflecting on the men who have signed Mr Hayes' petition it may not be out of place to remind hisfriends that it is never difficult to get signers to a' petition, and that when a man is asked to put his name to a paper it is much easier to consent than to give a reason for refusing. It la by no means an uncommon occurrence that a man subscribes to a petition in favor of a candidate, and then writes a note to the appointing power in which the author says he meant nothing by signing the petition.
Under ordinary circ*mstances it woeld be prejudicial to Mr Hayes' cause that he was an independent candidate for the house last fall, running against the regular democratic candidate; but this incident will probably not influence Gov Wolcott, who for the purposes of appointment seems tie say "once a democrat, always a democrat." Henry V. Cunningham. who was reappointed by the governor on the ballot law commission, has been mentioned in connection with the place on the police board. Mr Cunningham is a lawyer of experience, has a wide acquaintance and would make a popular and efficient member of the board. Superintendent Eldridge, Dr Jenks, ex Commissioner Heath and former IJ Marshal Swift have been discussed by the public.
at least. as possible nominees. But it Is said that the superintendent is a republican, and would prefer to stay where he is if he were a democrat. Dr Jenks and Mr Heath have already been in office, and some people think they have had their share. Mr Swift is a Back Bay man.
By this process of elimination it seems cemparatively safe to predict that the governor will send to the council next Wednesday the name of some less widely known man, some one who has not been thought of as a member of the police hoard. It is a way the governor has in all his appointments. He takes the ndvice of but very few people and usually relies entirely on his own judgment. LOOK FOR 2000 ENDEAVORERS. Middlesex County Convention Will be Held at Somerville April 19.
The Somerville Christian Endeavor union is making preparations for the Middlesex county convention, which is to be held in that city April 19. The committees are planning for the largest attendance in the history of the county and, from preSent indications, their expeutations will be fully realized. Last year, at Newton, about 1500 delegates registered, but Somerville expects to have the names of at least 2000 on the regstration books. The union voted to toward the expenses, and the treasurer was instructed to request each society to contribute a sum in proportion to Its membership. The appeal was enthusiastically answered and the treasury is assured of the necessary funds.
The afternoon session will be held in the Broadway Congreeational church, Sycamore st, and in the evening two sessions Wilt be one in the Broadway Congregational church and the other in the Winter Hill Congregational church. The same program will be given In both churches. the personnel of the list of speakers only being different. A chorus of GO voices has been organized and Cleorge K. Somerby has been secured to conduct the s.nghig.
A convention leaflet has been issued. containing two hymns, one of which Rev F. S. Hunnewell, county secretary, composed the music, the words being those of "America," The supper committee has called for 125 assistants for service in the kitchens and as waiters. BY TECH TALENT.

Mg of a kero, his regiment (their regiment) the Spanish war with the record of all the volunteer regiments for preparednes s. for, efficiency and for healthfulness. It is to be hoped that Col Pew will in not the slightest degree feel that those who were guilty of this disgraceful conduct were representative of his Mother commonwealth. We, his fellow citizens who for one reason or another were not able or were not permitted to go to the war, wish to express our heartfelt appreciation of his unsurpassed zeal and intelligence In the performance of his duties.
and in the care of his troops. NV wish to denounce the corsidered and unappreciative exhibition made at the Gloucester banquet by some who did not properly understand the necessities and emergencies of campaign life in southern and tropical climate, and who were so hasty as to give quick expression to their notions against the strong, careful, long-enduring administration of the colonel of the 8th Masrachusetts regiment. This is our protest against those who hissed. That was doubtless occasioned by Col Perv's reference to "mother's mince pies." The mothers are all right, but is there anything more suggestive of indigestion than the words "mince pie?" All prejudice for the prince, of pies ruled outis there? Vet consider these few facts which I have direct from intelligent sources in the regiment: (1) During the campaign those companies which had most extra foodprovisiors from home (the-Gloucester company headed the list) had the longest sick list; (2), further, even the man who recolved most boxes from home now lies in his grave (from sick-fleas), and his tentrnates ell had a very close call; (3) Col Pew did his utmost to discourage everything in the way of "boxes from home" and to restrict the diet of his men to the regular army ration; 44) Col Pew's regiment came home from its mission of well-disciplined duty with the best record in health of all the volunteer regiments as well as in every other respect. Will you not ask those Gloucester people, those individuals who did the hissing, to think, to question how many of their sons, husbands, brothers now return to them alive and in good health except for the soldierly strictness of Col Pew, might have returned sick, broken down or in caskets, covered by the American flag and marked "succumbed to Let the city of Gloucester 'apologize to Col Pew for the ungrateful thoughtleSsness of some of its people, and allow us citizens of Massachusetts who stayed at home to wish that if ever war arises again for the United States in our lifetime it may be our privilege and the favor of God that we enlist under so careful, so scientific, so thoroughly military a soldier as Col 'Wm.

Two Cambridgeport Men Plaintiffs in Alleged Robbery Case Against LexIngtOn Horse Dealers. CONCORD, Mass, April 15The case of John D. Gaffney and Harry Dares. proprietors of the Five Fork stock farm of Lexington, charged with robbing and drugging William F. Haley and William D.
Mooney of Cambridge on the night of March 31. was before Judge Keyes in the district court this morning. Haley, who is a horse dealer, residing on Prospect st, was the first witness. He testified that upon invitation he visited the Five Fork stock farm to see some horses. He drank liquor which Gaffney gave him and later fell asleep.
Upon awakening he discovered his coat and pocketbook missing. His coat was brought him, and he discovered the loss of $21 from the wallet. William D. Mooney of Winter st, Cambridgeport, next took the stand. He testified to visiting Lexington with Haley.
He drank whisky given by the defendants and awoke outdoors the next morning. He discovered the loss of from his trousers pocket. Stephen Broughall of Lexington identified Mooney as the man who asked for admission to his house early in the morning, April 1. He testified to finding Mooney in a stupor.

STUDENTS WERE DONE UP. They Invaded a Dance in Cambridge, But Didn't Remain to Dance. A row in which a dozen Harvard students figured Friday night to their own disadvantage, and which has been kept quiet by the police of Cambridge, has just come to light in that city. It occurred in Brattle hall, the home of the Social union of Cambridge. an organization founded to afford working young men an opportunity to obtain an 'education after business hours.
As it name indicates, part of the life of the union is its social occasions. One Of these was given Friday night in the form of a dance. Many philanthropic ladies, prominent in the social life of the Auniversity city, were present to assist the young people In making the affair a success. It appears that about midnight a number of Harvard students, who apparently had come from Boston after an evening of enjoyment, came to the hall and forced an the protest of the man at the door. In a few moments some of the men began to make themselves obnoxious.
A slighting remark was passed to a young woman. It was barely spoken when a young mechanic standing near shot his fist out and caught the speaker full in the face, sending him to the floor. This was a signal for a general mixup and considerable confusion ensued. One student, who is said to have held a more or less prominent place in athletics, retired precipitately, and is still laid up for repairs. The student ranks gradually thinned out the intruders retreating toward the door, through which they escaped more or less punished, a few moments before the arrival of a squad of police from4livision 1.
