They got up charity ball In At

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
IRVING COLLEGE.
The Weekly Budget Of News from a
Standard Reporter.

Prof. Hicks school at the College
will close on Friday of this week.
Just how much good has been done
and just how far Prof. Hicks has
given satisfaction, / am not prepared
to say. But were l to speak from
my own experience with people in
general, | would guess he has more
perfectly discharged his duty toward
the students and patrons than they
have their obligations to him. l
know it is common idea among the
commonality of mankind that the
success of school is dependent en-
tirely upon the teacher. True, he
must be possessed of certain qualify
ing elements, but even with these the
school may go down and down until
it is a disgrace to the community
that pretends to sustain it, unless he
has the assistance and cooperation of
both patrons and students. If in any
place in Warren county your schools
have not been quite up to the stand
ard, do not, without moments con-
Sideration, condemn and hold respon-
sible the teacher, for the ill-success OF
the school may be no fault OF his.
Remember, will you, that there are
trifling patrons and students as well
as teachers. Three things are abso-
lutely necessary for successful schools,
competent teacher (and when use
competent / use the word in its most
extended significance), ambitious stu.
dents and progressive paying pat
ronage. / do not desire to make any
one feel badly, yet l must say there
are some talented, educated youth in
this community (of whom their pa,
rentsmay well be proud), whose edu'
cations were acquired at someone
clse's expense. I,#

Personal Points and Pithy Paragraphs
From North Warren.

After the hours of another weeks
hustle and business havepassedaway,
we are permitted again to put in a
line or two for your most welcome
visitor.
1t is needless to tell the little folks,
the young folks, the middle-aged
folks, the old folks, and all the folks
in Warren county, that it amt going
to be long till Christmas, and then
you may look for the fat turkeys to
be killed, and the candies and a great
many goodies tObe distributed among
the little folks, and most of the old
folks would like to have share also.
1t is said that children like to be no.
ticed, and my experience is that old
ones don't like to be neglected often,
especially about Christmas times. A
great many please themselves and
suit their fancies by sending nice and
handsome presents, that are both use
full and ornamental, and there can be
no very great mistake in this kind of
work ; many others spend their time
in frollicing and their money in
drinking, thereby dethroning their
reason, and there are more of thelat-
ter class than many suppose. May
this be one of the years when each
and every one of this class may re-
solve with firmness to abandon this
worst of all habits.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. "A delega-
ton of cattleInsn mas arrived to make one
more effort to inluce the president 30 grant
them further extension of time. One of
the ablest lawyers in Washington has been
engaged by them in examining the cor
respondenee Of the interior depart
ment, and every order made by
Secretary Teller relating to the
subject, for the purpose of finding, if posi-
bic, some executive act or declaration which
would give the cattlemen a legal status, and
place them il a different attitude from that
which they, in fact hold-that Of mere
tre ,passers. The brief has been prepared
Those who ought to know say the position
taken is very strained and that it
will not convince the president or the at
torney general that the cattlemen have anv
legal rights in In1ian territory. Their en-
barrassment is further increased by the fact
that Senator Dave, chairman OF the
committee on Indian affairs in answer g.
the inquiry whether in the course Of the in
vestigation last winter the committee
discovered any thing to inlicate that
the cattlemen had any rights in Indian
territory replied that no such inf formation
was discovered. One of the points waich
will be urged by the cattlemen is that the
time for the execution of the order ould
be extended until frost comes, becau,e at
least one-third of their stock consists OF
trssh Texas cattle which are prohibited by
the quarantine laws of Kansas ani Colo
rado from being driven through those

FIVE AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COM
PANIES REFUSE
To Carry Uncle Sans Mail-What Villas
Says of It-Cattlemeu Seeking the
Presid ent-Wales Sentenced

WASHINGTON Cry, Aug 3 Five Ameri-
can steamship companies-T Pacific Mail
San Francisco to Australia, the Raj "D"
New York to Venezuela, the Clyde New
York to Turks isiand), the New YORK,
Havana & Mexico, and the New York
& Cuoa line,-have declined to carry
the United States mails after Friday
In commenting upon this action, Post
master General Villas said. Ger
tain American Steamship lines, probably
under the lead of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company, entered into combination,
apparently with the purpose of forcing the
distribution among them of the $i0O, 900 ap-
Dropriated by congress for mileage compen-
sat;on for carrying the mails Some of
them wrote to the postoffice department,
desiring to know what terms would
be given. l proposed to each one of
the companies to go to the full limit
that the law would allow, and awarl to
them both sea and inland postage. This is
about three times what they had been re-
ceiving for the sams service during the past
twelve years. 1t is three times what is paid
fer carriage across the Atlantic AMI it is
probably In most cases all that
should be paid for carrying the
mails. The companies are still acting
IN concert and in consequence OF
their combination refused to accept these
terms which were 50 liberal as compared
with.ttose they had received They felt, /
suppose, that they could drive the govern
ment out of the position it had taken by re-
fusing to carry the mail for the compensa-
ton offered The companies seemed to
bi,,ly hat

the government but to make contracts

made in the newswapers to the effect that
the United States government i not as lib

which has Leen offered to our lines
very much exceeds the rate paid by
Great Britain. The rate we offer is
about 63 per cent m re than the British

/ The superintendent of foreign mails said
! that the American companies had refused
an offer of 81. 81 per pound for carrying the
mails. This is what is known as combinei
sea and inland postage, and Is equivalent tc

Mill owner, Win Not Sign the Scale.

YOUNGSTOWN Ohio, Aug. 3.-Since the
scale was ,isned by the mills of Brown.
Bonneil & Co., other mill owners in the city
were interviewed as to when they would
sign tie scale, and each asserted positively
that there was no intention Of signing it.
One manufacturer said: ave started
out TO fight this matter, and propose to see
1T through. We will never sign the present
scale, that is certain; and we are more
united than ever in this matter. Even if
there was any disposition to sign or offer
compromise we have no orders, and could
not light up" 1t Is believed now that, with
out doubt the mill-ownsrs here and in this
vicinity have made an iron-clad agreement
and signed it not to sign the scala. On the
other hand, it is asserted in certain quarters
that their fight is in reality against the pud-
dlers, and as soon as they can secure steel
biliets from the St Louis plant they will
ign the scale and enter on the manufacture
