The Department of Public instruction
has been formulating some tables bear
ing on the compensation of female
teachers. Here are few of the figures
and facts Allegheny county, with 1876
male teachers and 1902 female teachers,
pays its men an average of S57.6l per
month, and its women teachers $50 so.
Lackawanna county has so male teachers
and 397 female, and the men receive an
average salary of $48.37 month, while
the women receive an average of only
S29.64. Luzerne county has 1873 male
teachers, 49S female, while it pays the
men an average of $50.34 month, and
the women an average of S3431. Phila-
delphia, with SO male teachers and 2435
female teachers, pays the men an aver
age of $133.20 a month, and the women
an average of 1920 a month. The
same rate holds good throughout all of
the counties. The district of Allen,
Northampton county, offers remarkable
exception to the rest of the county in
which it is situated Allen is not large,
but it does business on business princi-
pies. 1t employs ten teachers; five are
men, five are women; each teacher, re-
gardless of sex, receives an average
salary of $35 per month. Compared with
the preceding year, there has been a de
crease in the State of S12 in the number
of male teachers and an increase of 103t
in the number of female teachers. Not
withstanding the fact that the salaries O
men have always been far out of all jus
proportion to those of the women, the
salary of male teachers was increased
last year by an average of 46 cents ;
month, while the salary of the womel
was increased only an average of Il
cents month.

The Right Rev. Bishop O'Hara has
addressed the following circular to priests
and people of the Scranton Diocese in
behalf of the ST. Patrick's Orphan Asy-
lum at Hyde Park.
The collection will be taken up in the
different churches of the diocese at
such time as will be most convenient to
the respective pastors. The date fixed
for the collection at st. AIMS Church,
Woodside, will be Sunday, October 10,
at which it is expected that each adult
member of the congregation will contri-
butte according to his means.
The object for which the appeal is
made is noble one, and one that should
excite the sympathy and charity of ALL
The circular is as follows:
THE BISHOPS CIRCULAR.
REV. DEAR SIR The financial condi-
ton of st. Patrick's Orphan Asylum at
this time obliges us to make an urgent
appeal to the clergy and faithful of our
diocese. The building and the comforts
of the children are all that we can desire
They have good home and are cared
for in a motherly manner by the good
sisters, servants of Immaculate Heart of
Mary. But the number of inmates of
late has increased to a large, extent
Formerly two hundred dollars monthly
was sufficient for their support, but lately
the number has increased from so to 1856.
Hence we find it necessary to urge upon
you and your good people to give greater
consideration to the support of these,
our wards, deprived of their natural
guardians, and now left to the mercy of
a cold world, unless cared for and reared
by you and us in that faith which is most
dear to us all.
To contribute to the needy and desti-
tute is one of the great duties of Christian
charity, and duty performed which on
the last day will appeal in our behalf to
the mercy of God when we shall be
called upon to give an account of our
stewardship. We are all aware of the
strong teachings of sacred writ, in which
"He that giveth to the poor lendeth to
the Lord" and when we have given to
the destitute in clothing and food, our
blessed Lord willsay on the last day j:
What we have given to them we have
given to himself and these poor orphans
are classed among the most destitute on
account of their helpless condition.
We therefore appoint the present
month as time for the collection to be
made, leaving the fixing of the Sunday
to the discretion and prudence of each
pastor. The sum realized will be for
warded to Rev p Christ, rector of st.
Mary's Church, 421 Hickory street We
close our appeal for this most worthy
charity, hoping that all will bear in mind
the words of our Blessed Lord "Suffer
little children to come unto me and for
bid them not, for such is the kingdom of
heaven"
Given at our residence, Scranton, Sd
of October, 1890 VIM. O'HARA,
Bishop of Scranton.

The anthracite coal trade is in a salts
factory condition, and the fall activity
has fairly begun. There is reported a
good demand for egg, stove and chestnut
sizes, and all orders accepted are taken
only at or about the new circular prices.
The inquiry for coal from the East is
better than had been expected on ac-
count of the large quantities which had
previously been shipped to the New
England and Long Island Sound ports,
and the demand for coal from the West
is in excess of the ability of shippers to
forward Immediately on account of the
scarcity of cars. The local anthracite
trade is quite active, and the return to
the city of many folks who make their
summer residence elsewhere has greatly
stimulated the retail trade. The prices
for anthracite to the line and city and
harbor trade were advanced on the LIST
instant 10 cents per ton for broken. egg
and stove and 10 cents for chestnut and
a like increase was also made in the
prices to the Baltimore and Washington
trade. The shipments of anthracite Ia
Western lake ports thus far this wear are
considerably less than the quantity for.
warded last year to the corresponding
date. The Southern tidewater coal busi
ness is soon expected to begin, as vessels
will be diverted from the Eastern ice
trade and will seek lumber and other
cargoes from Southern ports.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week endinp
September 27, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 90l ,731 tons,
compared with 779, ,6l5 tons in the cores,
ponding week last year, an increase Of
22,ll6 tons. The total amount of an.
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was "a, 81 l., ,l0l tons compared with 25, ,436,.
02S tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 464.92 tons.-Ledqer.

THE HIGH PRICE LIE.
A Democratic Paper Says it Has
Played its Part and Can be
Abandoned.

The Congressional campaign of
1890 has been fought and won by
the Democratic party, and the coun
try rejoices over the result. In that
campaign, as in every political cam
paign, many things were said and
done in partisan interest that could
hardly be justified by any standard
of morals short of the old maxim
that everything is fair in war and
politics. The exigency, however, for
this questionable method of warfare
is now past, and it is high time to
give quietus to the campaign lie, of
which such effective use has already
been made, that all the necessaries of
life have been increased by the new
tariff bill. No paper can longer JUS
tify itself, even on the ground of par
tisan service, for giving circulation
to this falsehood, and the papers
that continue to publish such indie
feasible statements simply make
themselves allies of spectators and
extortionists, and are enemies of the
great consuming mass of the people.
