Fresh Proofs Just Received
A cocxscAcn MAIL CARRIER.

EoSeI Means OF Communication Employed
by Two Indiana oOnvicts.
A common cockroach was trained to act
ns letter carrier between William Rodifer
and starlight Jack" Ryan, convicts in the
Southern Indiana penioentiary. 1t is prob
ably the first instance on record. too, where
there was any use found for this little crea-
ture A writer in It'd Bits tells the story as
follows:
Rodifer occupied a cell in the tier just
above the one where Jack was confined, and
for a long time they had no means OF COM
munication with one another Rocuer was
a daring fellow, but he had not sufficient
imagination to get up plan OK escape, ana
he relied ON the bright mind OF his friend,
starlight Jack" to suggest an idea
One evening Rodifer noticed an innocent
looking cockroach running about on the
floor. After watching its gamboiings Tor a
time, he concluded he would use 1t. So,
writing short note to his friend, he tied 1t
to the cockroach's wing, and, kneeiing down
on the floor, he put It out on the wall under
the iron balcony in front OF his cell. de
calculated that it would run into the cep
underneath; and it did.
Jack noticed the paper, caught the insect,
and read the note Then he answered it, and
poked the little creature out on the wall
from the ceiling over the door, where he re-
leased it, The roach went into Rodifer's cell
and was caught. Then they fed and cared
for it, and used it in this manner for some
mouths In fact, it grew to understand its
business
1t must have been female cockroach,
however, for one day it stopped to chat with
friend, and was noticed by a warden. The
note, which was written in some sort OF
cipher, was taken off, and the hospital stew
ard, DR.. Sid C. Mcclure, read it. Then the
beetle was put on the balcony floor and 1t
ran into Rodifer's cell Thus the officials
were kept posted as to the two famous jail
breakers
After time Jack began to suspect that
something was wrong, and he added post
script to his letter something like this:
"If everything is right, you will find a hair
from my head in this note"
The warden read it as he did the others,
but dropped the hair and lost it,
'sNever mind it," said Capt Craig, whose
hair was red; "put one of Qine in it"
The answer came back: THAT last whip
ping must have been an awful one, Jack, for
it has changed the color of your hair
The schemins of these two worthless came
to naught, however, and they served their
terms.-Inter Ocean.

The Influence of Pins.

The influence of pins upon the female char
acter is very serious The pin at best is a
mere makeshift. 1t is temporary in its aim
and effect Mems buttons have q soidity
and permanence which correspond with the
strength and persistence Of the masculine
character, but the fckleness Of woman is
symbolized In her pins. She can put OF one
garment and put on anothsr with tho help OF
pins alone. and when pin has served its pur-
pose, she throws it reckleniy and heartlessly
away. It is impossible that long continuance
in such q course Of action should fail to have
its effect upon the character Fcklenes and
coquetry are purely the result Of pins.-Wul-

LOCAL HAPPENINGS

4 Vuiudbie HnrentiOn.--Briefr refer
ence has been made in these columns
to the invention by A. NJ. Newell of an
automatic trap.door for coal mines. 1t
has since occurred, however, that the
machine has not only been greatly i'm
proved but our townSman, Joseph
Bear, has become greatly interested in
it. We had expected to give this week
an extended account of it, but time
and space do not allow. Mr.. Newell
is now in Pennsylvania canvassing
with success the mining interests of
that State. The last issue of the Cal
ifornia Messenger speaks of him and his
invention as follows:
A. NJ. Newell the inventor of the new
automatic trapdoor for coal mines, isn town.
Mr.. Newell has now made perfect the work
ings of his invention. The door, which will
he fully described and illustrated in these
columns in week or two, is made to open
and close by the train of cars in passing along.
1t Is the most perfect piece of mechanism of
the kind we ever saw, and the doors are des-
tined to occupy coal mines everywhere, not
only because they are the only legal doors,
but also for the reason that they do away
with the expense of unreliable trapper-bOys
and make accidents and loss of life at the
trapdoOrS impossible.

LAST week the JOURNAL told of
the visit OF the Cumberland con-
tingent of the School Board to Frost
burg and the subsequent consultation
of the entire board with our trustees.
That was all, but we felt the fears
that could not be spoken.
Now, the well-informed CORES
pondent Of the Cumberland Times
states in his letter of the 18th:
Messrs. Shriver, Shepherd and Wemer of
the School Board, drove up from Cumberland
yesterday to consult the trustees about the
principalship of school No. 1.
Think of the Senate of the United
States driving over to consult the
President about the postmastership
of Podunk, or the Senate Of Mary
land to see the Governor about a
justice of the peace for Sclt1leburg.
The strangest portion OF the item
concludes the paragraph:
A number of applications have been re-
ceived, but none from Allegany county.
This is positively cheering.
If the trustees could manage with
out the assistance Of the School
Board to select from outside of the
county some competent principal
some one on whom the Board has no
grip and can get none, We will have
made the first step forward.

In reply to the very eloquent ad,
dress of welcome delivered Tuesday
evening by Judge Hoffman to the
Teachers Assembly at Deer Park,
Prof. W. p. Wiley, of Morgantown,
W. Va, said:
There are some battles which cannot be
won easily. The battle against ignorance is
one of these. Every succeeding generation
must take it up where the preceding one laid
1t down. We can agree to beat down the
prejudice against this battle against ignor-
ance, and we can agree that the teachers who
stand in the front of this battle shall be- pajda
compensation commensurate ~jH Hc Sc,'cjcc they

PIT "pon ignorance By tie poor pay 10 he tedcI-
erS. | would deny the ballot to ignorance,
and make it crawl ON all fuurs until it had
culture enough to ho.d its head erect like a
man.
Evidently Prof. Wiley is not K.
Of L., or he would want equal pay
for unequal work--a principle some
times put in force in our schools.
The poor pay of teachers is Il
grievance of great magnitude. 1t is
the most formidable hindrance to
thesuccess of the public school system
which besets its progress.
When we havo longer scholastic
days and years, smaller schools, COM
petent teachers, and population

schools and teachers cost-then, and
then only, will the scheme Of popular
education realize the dream of the
scholar, the wish of the moralist and
the hope of the patriot.

LAST Saturday there was IL time
in Fayette county, Pa. A dispatch
from Unlontown states:
This was the annual school scramble in
Dunbar township, there being about one
hundred and fifty applicants for the thirty
schools. Dunbar pays good salaries. and
this causes general onslaught of fpedagogues
in that township. The victorious applicants
which are usually mostly sought after were
J. G. Carroll and Hugh Keys respectively.
Thirty successes subtracted from
$50 leaves 1870 failures.
Some competent folks in the latter
class will have to scrub kitchens or
hoe corn.
But the item is quoted to show
principally that we are not alone in
our school troubles. Other localities
lave theirs as well.
The hot house normals and null
tiplicity of candidates for the Office
of teahcer are cause and sequence.
And the burning desire for easily
got pay is greater than IL combustlble
determination to thrust education on
young America, the last and best
euphemism for the national brat.
WHAT is the matter with the "of-
ficial report" of the so-caIled Cum
berland Coal Trade -
The company totals this side of
the Potomac aggregate for the year
to July 14-laSt Saturday, 1,569,77O
tons; the local railway totals ,591,77O
tons.
In other words, the railways have
carried $4,000 tons more coal than
has been shipped.
Judge Hoffman was correct when,
at Deer Park, he said the traveller
along the railroad could hardly .ell
at any time which State he was in.
If the same traveller be IL student
of coal shipments from the 'elbow-
kinship'' regions of so called "Cum-
berland" and Elk Garden he will be
infallibly sure of his geographical
obliyiousness.
