Teachers Wages

The average annual salaries for
teachers in New York is S6S6.II in
the cities and $z4a.o5 in the rural
districts. In Ohio the average sala-
ry is in the township primary
schools, for males S35 and females
Sa5; in the township high schools,
males S53 and females $50. In sep
arate districts, in the primaries the
pay is for males S45, females S33,
and in the high schools, males S6o
and females S55. These rates in
Ohio indicate the following average
annual salaries. In township pri-
mary schools, males S35s.7s, females
SI8r.a5; in township high schools,
males S3445o, females Sa34; in sep
arate district primaries, males S39L
females S289; in separate district
high schools, males Ss865o females
S467.5o. That these salaries look so
small is partially due to the fact that
our school terms are so short. The
average term Of the township pri-
maries is but 20 weeks, and of the
high schools but 20 weeks, and in
separate districts it is but "a weeks.
None of these salaries, however,
either in New York or in this State
are such as to hold out any very
great inducements to persons to con-
tinue permanently in the profession,
and the result is the use of the teach
er's position as a mere stopping
place to wait until something better
turns up, which fact does not tend to
the procurement Of the highest and
most efficient talent among our teach
ers. Our State need never expect her
schools to reach the highest state Of
efficiency until she procures perma-
nent teachers of the very best kind,
and these she can never get until
she pays them.-Ohio State Journal.

Baseball Matters.

The Indianapolis club went to Cincinnati yes
terday to engage in deadly ARRAY with the Sham
rocks, but it rained necessarily all day, and the
game could not be played. 1t had been very ex-
tensively advertised, and it is thought that fully
10000 people would have been in attendance.
The two clubs will meet next Sunday, should
the weather permit
The Cleveands, who are next to the leaders in
the League race, will play the home club on the
Seventh-streeJ grounds this afternoon, and there
is every reason TO expect an attendance that
will exhaust the seating capacity of the stands
McKeon and Keenan, will be the battery for the
home team, while for the visitors DAILY, the one
armed phenomenon, will occupy the box. and it
is expected that Mccormick of the Indianapolis
club of 1876, will also pitch during part of the
game. The Cleveland club is composed of ball
players.

A HEAVY ROBBERY.
Sheriff white, of Charlottesville, a Heavy
Loser by Thieves Here.

The Sunday papers contained mysterious
items about some old man from the northern
part of the State, who had fallen in with thieves
localities were given. The superintendent of po-
lice alone knew the facts it was supposed, and
refused to give them away. 1t is significant
fact that superintendents of police nearly al
ways do that sort OF thing; it is "reRular," you
know. The excuse given in this case was that
giving publicity to the robbery would
give the thieves opportunity to
escape, the superstition, of course, being that
the latter would not know they had robbed any
body until they it in the papers. The cir
cumstances are about as follows: Warren Will
hite sheriff of Montgomery county, came over
to the city on Friday. and, contrary to his usual
custom, took several drinks. Not being accus-
tened TO the OF liquor. it had a supplying
effect upon him, and he does not easily recall
what happened. He remembers going into
Wachstetter's saloon, on South Illinois street,
aud Joining party who were shaking dice for
the drinks. but what he did after that
be does not know. % further than that
he awoke on Saturday morning, in a room over
the saloon, with his gold watch and chain,
worth 1900, a diamond stud worth $3.50, and
some friends In the city, aud they took him to
the police, although he did not desire publicity
Of the matter Subsequently lie went down to
the saloon, and while there could do nothing
further than to identify Wachstetter and Hogan
MeCarty as persons In the crowd who were
police positively refuses to tell anything, yet it
Is understood that he mas a "clew" 10 the rob
beers and expects to get them. Mr.. Wilbite's
brief experience here was rather expensive. at
homo he Is regarded IA sober and reputable
citizen, and the robbery is the result OF an unac-
couDtable lapse OF virtue.

HEALTHY COMPETITION.

Faster Time and Better Accommodation
Promised on the Pacific Railways.
There is no adage more true than that compe-
ttion is the life of trade and the adage s aptly
illustrated in the recent changes on the Union
and Central Pacific roads, which have been be-
rated on all sides for years past over their old
fogy idea of railroadine Nothing could induce
them to move their passenger trains or forward
freghts at even a reasonable speed. Now com
petition comes along and the Pacific railroads
have begun to run faster trains between Omaha
and San Francisco, reducing the time from New
York to San Francisco to five and half days.
A further reduction to five days is practicable,
and will doubtless follow in time But the next
step of the managers should he To provide
cleaner, more comfortable and better eat
iDg-hOuses. The discOmforts of the continental
journey now begin at Omaha and last through
to San Francisco The competition of the
Southern and new Northern Pacific roads, which
intend provide firs-cass accommodations
for travellers, will have a healthy influence on
the Old roads.
