Attacked by Bees.

Last Friday John HUNDRED a contrac-
tor on the new road between Piedmont
and Cumberland w. Va, while driving
from Keyser to Cumberland was attacked
by huge swarm Of wild bees. The in
sects settled by thousands on the man
and beast, tOrmenting the animal until
he became mad with pain, finally drop
ping on the shafts and breaking them
and then kicking the vehicle loose.
The bees kept up their ferOcious attack
causing the animal to rear and plunge
madly. The horse finally succumbed to
the torture and dropped to the ground
biting and crushing the pebbles in his
path, dying after few minutes in the
most horrible paroxisms. Mr.. HUNDRED
also received his share of the insects at
tack and was painfully stung about the
head and face by the swarm which how
cred around him. He made vigorous
defense, but would probably have been
stung to death had it not been for
small lake in the vicinity into which
he plunged securing instantaneous re-
lief.

grasshOppers settled down on a wheat
field in the vicinity of Sanborn, Dakota,
on the Northern Pacific Railway, some
% miles west of Fargo, land in a very
short time cleared off 30 acres of every
vestige Of greenness. Several other fields
in that neighborhOod were partly swept.
About sunset the hoppers rose and flew
southeast.

A Mountain Postm;stress.
She Always Reads the POstaIs and Some
times the Letters.

A gentleman who spent summer ira
Yelling in the Rocky Mountains gives the
following account of little gray-hairel
old lady he found living alone in a LOG
cabin OF two rooms far up the slope of q
most desOlate mountain. The cabin was
mile from any other house, and the
nearest town was ten miles distant. On
the shelves back Of little pine counter
in corner Of the room were cans of to-
matOes, peas and corn, few bars of soap
boxes Of matches and cans Of condensed
milk.
81 keep little grocery store, and
thread, and needles, and pins, and such
things, bein's I'm postmistress," said the
Old lady in the cheeriest of voices.
"POstmistressy" queried the traveller.
80 yes" was the reply.
Where are the letters and the Of
fcer
Here" as she smilingly took a cigar
box down from a shelf and opening it,
showed the man dozen or more letters
bearing evidence of having been handled
many times.
THE mail comes two times a week
Wednesdays and Saturdays-but most of
the boys come round Saturdays"
THE bOys? asked the stranger.
Eyes /; the prOspectOrs and miners scat

good many Of 'em but they don't write
much nor get many letters. Still, the
post Office is cOmp'ny for NE. 1t brings
all the boys to see me once in while.
Are you going up by the Lone Star

NO. l think not" said the traveller.
No. Well if you was there's a postal

Private schools i'm Prussia.

Strenuous measures are being taken in
Prussia to limit, and even so far as possible
to suppress, the whole system of private
education. The educational officials make
distinction between 'hauslehrern" (domes-
tic tutors and governesses), ''privatlehrern"
teachers who give private lessons) and
'privatschullehren" (the keepers of private
schools, for boarders or day pupils).
Every ''hausleher," or domestic tutor, ac-
cording to the new regulations, is to be reg
istered as member of the family In
which he or she teaches (''mitgled des
hausstandes'), and is also obliged to be
provided with a license ("erlaubniss-
schein") from the government Every
'privatlehrer' must also-like a doctor,
lawyer clergyman. or public school teacher
obtain a certificate of professional and
scientific competence" before exercising his
function. A 'privatschullehrer" is defined
as the proprietor, president or teacher of a
private school. Private schools are only to
be allowed in future ''in those places
where the public instruction for children of
the legal school age is still insufficiently
provided for" The total extinction of the
private schools is clearly only question of
time.

The work that confronted the directors
ut their meeting yesterday morning was
simply the detail of arrangements for sys-
sematizing the running of the Exposition.
The principal source of complaint thus far
las been concerning the faulty lighting of
the building. o. A. Pray reported that a
number of new electric lights are being
placed where they are most needed, and
that the city is preparing for the illumina-
lion of the grounds as rapidly as possible.
The heat from the engines ON the first floor
was another annoyance which it was
thought could be somewhat Obviated by
opening the windows, and placing screens
in them. 1t was also decided
to arrange for the shutting
down of the machinery during
the band concerts. Instructions for the
placing Of signs for the direction OF visitors
were given. 1t was also left to commit
tee to settle upon the hours OF closing the
Exposition All these matters of detail
have been promptly attended to, and de-
fects will be remedied as fast as they are
discovered. Next week will see the great
panorama of industry and art moving along
with the smoothnesS and regularity of clock

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Aug. 25.--J. NJ.
Cum ming who is working mining property
in Sonora, near Bachche came in last night.
He says that Geronimo, when he discovered
that an attempt was being made to sur
round him. retired with portion of his
band to High Mesa. twenty-five miles
southeast of Cahuta ranch. where he had
an interview with the Mexicans.
His stock at the foot Of
the bluff was guarded by two
two Indians. His position is a very strong
one. from which it will be an extremely
hard task to disIodge him. The mair body
of the Apaches, Mr.. Cumming is convinced,
is in Sierra Azul, an old stronghold of the
indians which is so perfectly fortified by
nature that it would take all immense force
to make an organized attempt with any
proseect of success. Lawton and his men
are worn out with constant marches over
the rough country. The reports that the
Indians are exhausted are all nonsense The
Apaches, when thoroughly exhausted make
twice the distance i'll half the time that
American soldiers can when quite fresh. At
present the termination of the campaign
looks as tar off as ever.

the switch. This proved unsuccessful, but
few moments later collision occurred at

came together with great force, but no in
