GROWTH OF EDUCATION.
Annual Report OF the Commissioner
of Education.

Annual Report of the Commissioner
of Education.
WASHINGTON, Special.-H. N. R. Dawson,
the commissioner of education, has fled
with the secretary of the interior his annual
report for the year ended June 80. 1889, in
which he says that from analysis of the sta
tistics of public schools for the decade
1867 to 1867, it appears
that the growth Of the system
considering the whole country, Outstripped
during that period, the growth of popula-
tion, the excess of the increase of enroll
ment over the increase in population, six to
fourteen years of age, being 1.6 per cent.
This gain, the commissioner says, is due en-
tirely to the progress of the public schools
in the two Southern sections, and more eE-
pecially in the South Central division. Here
the increase of enrolment shows an excess
over the increase of population probably
never before paralleled in q country
so long settled The sentiment in
favor of free schools supported by public
funds, he says, is becoming each year
more universally prevalent The public
school system of the southern states has
been undergoing an unprecedented develop
ment under laws adapted in each case to
local circumstances, and are now practically
all established on a permanent basis COL
ored children are apportioned an equal share
of the school fund, unless in the
State of Delaware, and there schools are
kept open as long and under as well paid
teachers as those of the white children. The
funds for the support of these schools are
furnished mainly by white inhabitants, and
after making due allowance for all the sums
that have been furnished for the education
of the negroes through private sources of
benevolense and through the taxes raised
among themselves, it may still be said that
the children of those once held IN servitude
in the South are being educated by the sons
of their former masters.

Canadian Provinces Having a Tilt
Over the Use of French.
OTTAWA, Ontario, Special Telegram,
Attorney General Martin, of the Manitoba
government, returned to Winnipeg
not very we'll satisfied with the result of his
mission to Ottawa, where he had hoped to
secure the assurance of Sir John Macdonald
that the federal government or parliament
would not veto the measure he proposes in
PRODUCING in the Manitoba legislature
shortly, doing away with the French
language in that province. Members of the
Quebec province threaten that if the French
language is abandoned by the Manitoba gov
ernment, aud as it would have to be by the
federal government, Quebec will refuse to
respect the language OF the English speak
ing minority in that province, and for the
future have all official documents printed in
French only, in which language also every
member would have to use when speaking
ing In the legislature. The changes
the Manitoba government desire,
namely the adjustment of dual
ism in education and language, can
only be done by an address to the British par
lament, and, as it must pass through the DO
minion parliament first, no matter how Sir
John Macdonald might be able to help it
through, there will be q solid French vote
against it There will be little chance of its
passing The war of races In Canada is only
now beginning between the two elements
English and French-but where 1t will end
no one dare to predict.

THE CRONlN CASE.
Kirby, an English Spy, Said to Know
Who Killed the Doctor,

CHICAGO, Special Chicago papers pub
lish story to the effect that letters
are in the city from the daughter
of LIE Caron which show that Cronin
knows the secret of Scotland Yard
operations in this country, and that he was
killed in an attempt to rob him of some
papers showing those operations The Jour
nal publishes story in which it is claimed
that LIE Caron, Kirby and Patrick
Cooney will be produced as witnesses
by the prosecution; that Kirby, as agent
of the British government, was in Chicago
for months before the murder of DR.. Cronin,
prYing into the affairs of the CIan-na Gael.
He was very successful, and returned to Lon
don full of information, not only about the
workings Of the order, but with
full particulars of the plot against
DIR. Cronin, and the manner in which it
was carried out Kirby was not on the stand
in the Parnell case because it was concluded
that the evidence of LIE Caron (or Beach,
would be strong enough. After the trial

tives. LIE Caron has revealed to the Amerl-
detectives the names of certain men on

to testify when wanted 1t may be well to
state that in order to avoid any mistake
about Kirby and LeCaron showing up when
wanted, they have constant companions
in the shape Of some of Pinkerton's
most argus-eyed employees. Industrious
researches to-day produced the young man
correspondent of Miss LIE Caron. His name
is George E. May. Mr. May admitted that he
had been the recipient of letters from Ger
trude LIE Caron. II have received in all four
or five letters from Miss LIE Caron," said lie
tonight. "Three while they lived in New
York, the rest since they have been on the
continent Ipledge you my word that there

all the letters" Michael Whelon, formerly
Coughlin's partner on the police
force, says that not ten minutes
after he received his notice 10
dismissal a prominent Irishman offered to
show him letters from across the water eff
fectually proving the innocence of the men
on trial, and telling just who killed DR..
Cronin. Who the murderer is Whelan claims
not to know. He will not tell the name OF
the man who has this information.

In Q Hotsl Dining Room.

I know no place better suited for the
study Of curious phases Of human
nature than the dining room of a hotel
frequented by transient customers.
Some very curious incidents are seen
there. Twas a witness to one of these
yesterday morning. There entered to
the breakfast table middle-aged man
who towed along by the hand stout
built young woman whose normally
ruddy face was suffused with beet-red
bushes as she ran the gauntlet of the
eyes directed toward the queer looking
couple of the assembled guests. The
dress, as we'll as the painfully awkward
carriage of the pair, proclaimed that
they were unaccustomed to urban ways.
Choosing seats at one of the tables the
couple ordered breakfast. The man.
among other things, called for boiled
eggs. When they were brought to
him he disdained to use either egg cup
or glass as a receptacle for them, but
carefully emptying them into a
saucer he chopped them up with
his knife and fork. By the
time this operation was complet-
ed the knife was pretty thor
oughly covered with the yoke of the
egg. The manipulation of the instru-
ment, however, soon remedied this by
vigorously applying his tongue to
either side of the blade. He then
reached over the table, and, with the
knife, cleaned" in his primitive man
ner, transferred large section of but
ter from the general dish in the center
of the table to his own plate. The
other guests who occupied seats at that
and neighboring tables were almost
paralyzed with astonishment and dis
gust But there was more to come.
After shoveling several knifeloads of
eggs into his mouth the man paused a
moment, and then carefully selected a
good sized morsel of white from the
end of the eggs. Carefully poising it
on the end of his knife, he held it out
toward his wife's face. The lovely
creature opened her more or less
coral lips. absorbed the tempting NOR
sci, and gazed on the donor with look
of ineffable sweetness. The incident
was quite too funny for anything, and
the denoument amused the spectators
so much that they forgot the disgust
excited in their breasts by the earlier
actions from the visitor of Way back
