Keyser.'s Opportunity.

According to the Tribune" a
neutrality-suspicious. and farming
implement manufacturing compa-
ny, now doing a good business at
Waynesboro', Pa, desire to re-
move their works to Keyser. be-
cause they can, owing to the cheap
ness of fuel and labor, there man
ufacture their machine at one-third
less than at Waynesboro. They
desire to increase their capital
stock $4,000, of which Keyser peo-
pie are asked to subscribe one-half,
in return for which they a have
the president, treasurer and one
half tho board of directors of the
concern. A liberal proposition,
truly. A meeting was held at
Keyser and addressed by a gentle
man who said that he found the
manufacturing works, which it is
proposed to remove to Keyser,
large and profitable concerns, con-
trolled by shrewd, practical busI-
ness men, honorable and reliable
in every particular:that they have
a large trade where they are, and
the concern pays a considerable
annual dividend ON its stock. Sub
scriptions were started and $4,000
were subscribed. In the sum are
three subscriptions of $1,000 each.
1t strikes us that Cumberland
would have been a better location,
cheap fuel and all included, than
Keyser, and that if the company
would make clear to capitalists
what was stated to the Keyser
meeting, they could procure the
whole $4,000 here without any
trouble whatever C1mb. NeaOs.

Woman and Education.

Are not the friends of education who
are calling upon woman for assistance
in the supervision Of the free schools
likely to be disappointed, if the leading
editors and educators of the state are
not more earnest and active than they
have been, in encouraging women to en-
ter upon this new field of effort; and also
in convincing men that it is their duty
to assist in electing the ladies' to official
positions, wherever they may have been
nominated and expressed their willing
ness to serve if elected?
1t is fact. not commonly known, and
not sufficiently dwelt upon, by those who
are aware of it; that the law of last
winter, allowing women '*to serve on
school committees, and to fill all Offices
pertaining solely to the management of
its schools was passed because of an
actual need Of more active and efficient
service being rendered to the schools,
than men alone, absorbed in the care of
business, have been able to give. For
several years past this lack of supervision
has been felt, in many Of the states; and
in consequence thereof educators have
applied to legislators for u law making
women eligible to serve on school boards,
and also to serve as city and county
superintendent. In all these states
where such u law has been passed, we
find that many women have been chosen
to perform the duties Of school ocials fl
and wherever they have been thus elect
ed, they have been reported as having
performed their duties faithfully and
well. tF "a.
Is there any reason to suppose that
the women of Minnesota are less capa.
bic Of serving than the women of other
states, or that the mothers Of the child
rem who ill the schools are less interest

graced the black occasion, still the
work was deemed satisfactory all
around. Two patches of Delegates
were appointed to go to New Orleans

the Convention ignoring the Shreve.

ways with patience and nice leniency
against the miserable ones, who
stand convicted Of ehigh crimes and
misdemeanors." The Grand jury,
before its adjournment, found TWEEN
ty-rine indictments, nine of which
were for larceny six for assault with
dangerous weapons with intent to
kill, one robbery, one murder, two
burglaries, one assault with intent to
commit q rape, one, rape, three as
saults with dangerous weapons, one
obtaining goods under false preten-
ses, and four for assault and battery.
All of the old cases, as we'll as the
new ones, have been set for trial, a
great many Of which have already
been continued by the Court. Up to
Saturday evening there have been six
convictions and as many chung ju-
ries." The convictions we're one for
attempt to commit rape, one for
horse stealing, one for assault with
intent to kill and for larceny. AS q
specimen Of the Courts enforcement
Of tue laws after Jury have found O
verdict of guilty, we note that fol
such a conviction with dangerous
weapon with intent to kill, his sen
tence against the prisoner was: q
