DANvILLE HAD NO FREE SCHOOLS.
Why . Kentucky Town Lost TN Inn
portant Northern Industry.

Prom the Somerset Ky.) Register
The Singer sewing-machine company have
been contemplating moving one Of their large
factories further south 80 as to be more conve-
nient TO she raw material They wrote TO their
agent at Danville, Mr.. p. H. Idol, to select
new location for one Of their factories. He Sc
iected Danville and the company sent an agent
to look at the place. He was delighted with
the town as soon he saw it, well as its rail-
road facilities, its surroundings, &C., and, be-
ing informed that he could get ground at q
reasonable price, he was on the point Of max
ing favorable report to his company recon-
mending the town As q suitable location for a
factory, when he inquired about its school
.'Oh, they are excellent" said Mr.. Idol.
Granville has long been noted for its fine
asked the agent
They are pay schools" replied Mr.. Idol.
sia a. have you no public SCHOOL," again
II am sorry to say that at present We have
not, replied Mr. Idol. 1--WE have good private
schools, and our people thought they we're
sufficient"
II am sorry can't recommend Danville,
then" said the agent. "Our company cannot
schools, and not even a school building. Our
employees have been used to good public
schools for their children, and if we were to
bring them here they would demand higher
wages on the ground that they would have to
pay for the education of their children and in
the end our company would practically have
their school bills to pay"

The London Strike Affects Boston.

From the Boston Advertiser. September
The great strike In London has at last begun
to have its effect in Boston. As was antici-
pated, those employed in the handling of ocean
freight are the ones to be first affected and to-
day or tomorrow about $50 stevedores, long
shoremen and freight handlers employed in
the loading OF the steamers Of the Furness line
ct pier 8, Hoosac Tunnel docks, In the Charles
town district, viii be given an enforced vaca-
ton for an indefinite period. The Furness line
10 the only line of steamships running between
London and Boston. The men employed by
them have had steady work up to within the
past week: One Of the gigantic steamers, the
Milesian, 10 lying at her berth, and . crew Of
workmen are engaged in loading her cargo.
The work - progressing very slowly, - it viii
be impossible to unload her ct her destination
until the strike IL settled. Al she was the last
steamer Of the line to clear before the COM
mencement Of the trouble no more boats win
arrive until after the London strikers have set
tied their grievances. The men say that IL win
be nearly month after the settlemsnt Of the
AFFAIR before there Win - any work - this ter

A POSTAL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM.
President Green Says That He Has Not
Completed Arrangements For IL.

Presiden Green Of the Western Union tele-
graph company says he has not completed any
arrangements with the Postmaster General
looking to the establishment OF . postal tele-
graph system and added: THE fact of the
matter Ii that Postmaster General wanamaker
has an idea that he can utilize his free-delivery
system to advantage in handling and delivering
messages. / do not think that such thing Is
possible and / am not aware that il is his inten-
ton Of employing q separate force to transact
the telegraph portion Of the business. be-
heye he has talked with other telegraph men
besides myself"
DIR. Green said that il was the intention of
Mr. wanamaker to connect all the post Offices
In the country and receive aud deliver messages
Just the sane ~ o telegraph company. The
idea was to obtain these wires from the tele-
graph companies and pay the company per-
centage Of the receipts from the business
handled The Western Union would continue
the business at the old stand, and one OF the
advantages to them, il the arrangement ID
completed, will be the saving Of terminal ex-
penses. The post Office telegraph department
would Of course, endcavor to do the business
ct lower rate than that which IL now charged
but he had no fear Of this competition, and, in
fact, seemed 10 ignore entirely the idea that
the government would successfully cope with
his company in the telegraph field DR.. Green
did not think that they would get any business
except in places where the Western Union had
NO Office, and very little there. Tho services,
he thought, would be second-class.
