more md more crowding themselves
upon the attention of thoughtful ob.
servers, and which lead to the conclu-
SION that the public schools do not and
in the nature of things can not meet the
full educational demands of modern
society.
In the first place, the growth Of popu
lation shows u remarkable tendency to
outstrip tho capacity of the schooi4
This is recognized as crying evil every.
where. Secondly. the public school
fails utterly in most cases in meeting one
of the most urgent demands of the times
the fitting of young men and women
for the duty of self support The scho!-
ars leave school too early as a rule to
have fully mastered the too ambitious
course Of studies pursued and, i'll most
cases. they are then required to begin
the real work Of life education under
the most INSTANTANEOUS circumstances.
What is really demanded is the he ter
fitting of young men and women for the
PRACTICAL duties of life. In the case OF
the boy this is accomplished 10y his be.
ing put to work in shop, store, or Of
flee, and he begins the really practical
part of his education for life under the
direction of business men, and with
business surroundings
With the girl the conditions are en-.
tircly different. and the ordinary sur
roundings of society are scarcely such
as lead either to practical knowledge
! or practical ideas of the future duties in
| life either of the matron or the self sup
porting woman.
OF late years the sprinsing up OF
technical schools has been one of the
most positive advances in the field o
education. and the various philanthropi'
societies and organizations of this city
are becoming convinced that in thi
direction lies the real solution of the
educational problem. There are now ;
number Of cooking schools in operation
in this city, Of which, that Of Miss Corso
has become celebrated. There is IL
question of the great benefit schools O

Stenographers and Typewriters on the
Pennsylvania Limited
Recognizing the increasing popularity
of the Limited among the business and
professional men of the country, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has de-
cided to still further improve the facilities
of this wonderful train, and add TO its
conveniences by introducing a steno-
grapher and typewriter for the service OF
the passengers.
A bright young man, expert in both
branches of his profession, will be placed
on each train between New York and
Pittsburgh to take the dictation and tran
scribe on the typewriter the cores
pondence of the passengers who desire to
avail themselves Of his services, By
this means, business or professional
man can attend to his correspondence
en- route, and thus secure a great saving
of time. A compartment will be fitted
up on each train for this purpose, and
the letters will be mailed from the train
as they are written. This novel and con-
venient arrangement will go into effect
on February list.
The business men already have the ad-
vantage of the stock and weather reports
on the Limited, the ladies have their
maid, their private bath, and their draw
ing-room in the observation car, and the
introduction of an amanuensis will round
out the completeness Of the trains con-
veniences to aperfect degree.
No other railroad train in the world
offers any one of the four advantages
that are provided on the Pennsylvania

DEATH OF r.. MILTON sPEER.

Hon. r. Milton Speer, of Huntingdon,
Pa. died in New York on Friday. For
more than a year Mr. Speer had been a
sufferer from a strange nervous malady,
which baffled the skill of all local physi-
clans. Last week this resulted in a par
tial stroke of paralysis, which affected his
entire left side. Subsequent investigation
shows that Mr.. Speer's afiiiction was the
result of lead poisoning due TO his drink
ing of water which stood in lead pipes.
Mr.. Speer was the recognized leader of
the Democratic party in Huntingdon
county, and the formost member of the
Huntingdon bar. His death is deeply
deplored among all classes in that section
Mr.. SpeeI's interment will take place this
afternoon.
Mr.. Speer was born IN Cassville, Hunt
ingdon county, on September 8, 1888. He
received the nomination from the Demo-
Gratis of the Seventeenth Congressional
district in 1870 was duly elected, and
having acquitted himself to the complete
satisfaction of his constituents was re-
elected to the following Congress. On
both occasions of his election it was from
n Republican district, and he ran from
1000 to 1.500 votes ahead of his ticket.

THREE KILLED.
ANOTHER RAILWAY HORROR AT ND
RELLvILLE FRIDAY EVENING.

Mrs. Catherine staclkhouse and Two
Brothers Meet Instant Death While
Walking on the Tracks-Chicago Linn
tied Scores Three Victims This Time.
A shocking case of death on the rail- 4
road thrust itself upon the people of
Morrellville / iday evening shortlT
before O'clock. Chicago Limited came
laundering along at its usual rapid rate
of speed. Shortly below the Morrellville
crossing it bore down upon a woman and
two young men, killing them instantly.
The train was stopped, and the people
living near nouned. The b dies were
taken TO the rear of Frank Lecky's
saloon, whre they were identified as
Mrs. Catherine Stackhouse and her two
brothers, Edward and Michael Gallagher,
OF Cambria City.
Word was hastily sent to Mr.. Stack
house, who was at his work firing locoI
motive in the Cambria yard and to the
homes Of the unfortunate young men.
There was an unusual amount of excite
ment among the friends at the shocking
thought of three instant deaths in one
family and in such a horrible manner.
Mrs, Sackhouse had been up in the
city at the stores and was returning home.
As she passed the home of her folks on
Broad street, Cambria, it was quite late
Especially was it necessary that some one
should accompany her from the fact that
there are no street lamps in that vicinity.
The two brothers kindly offered their
company, They proceeded on to the.
Morrellvillc crossing and then, 1t is pre-
sumed, down the track. There wGe
cars on the siding on the North side of
the main tracks, and presently an east-l
bound freight came along. The tlTeeI
people stepped to the west-bound track
and proceeded on down the track. In
moment light dashed upon
them and before they could move
they were struck. The twol
brothers were knocked off the track, but
Mrs. Stackhouse lit on the track, and the
train passed over her body, cutting off both
lower limbs and otherwise mangling her
1t was sickening sight.
Mrs. Stackhouse was about twenty-five
years of age and is the mother of two
children, aged six and four years, both
girls. She and her husband, who is a
cousin of Mr.. Alex. Staekhouse, Super
intendent of Motive Power at the
Cambria Works, have been married about
eight years

THE CLERK AND THE IMAGE.
One of the Famous Stories of the Costa
Romanorum.


One of the Famous Stories of the Gesta
Romanorum.
The Ballimore american, in answer to
an inquiry concerning the Clerk and the
Image, says:
at is one Of the most famous stories in
the 'Gesta Romanorum.' There was an
image in Rome on whose outstretched
fore finger were the words: Strike
here A clerk (the al cient name for
priesD, in solving the riddle, observed
the reflection of the forefnger on the
ground at noon and marked the spot. Re
turning at midnight, he dug until his
spade reached trap door, below which a
flight of marble steps descended INTO a
succession OF spacious halls full of gold
silver and bcauteous furniture and crowd
ed with men and women, who sat in sol
emn silence The whole place was bill
iantly lighted by a carbuncle suspended
in one corner Of the reception room, and
opposite stood an archer in the act of TAX
ing aim at the jewel. As the priest re.
turned through this hall he seized a dla.
mond-hilcd knife intending to carry it off
as a witness to the truth Of his story. In
mediatelY all was dark around him. The
archer had shot his arrow, the carbuncle
was shattered the staircase had vanished,
nd the priest was buried alive,

The South Fork Dam.

New YORK, January II. - Alphonse
Eteley, one of the committee appointed
by the American Society of Civil Engi-
neers to examine the South Fork dam, to
the breaking of which the Johnstown dis
astcr was due, SAID to-day that the com
mlttee's report, which the society, on
their recommendation, decided to with
hold until after the settlement ofthe COM
plications that had grown out of the dis
aster, contained nothing of importance
that had not already been published, al
though the facts, he added, are probably
presented in a more connected form than
had been elsewhere. The committee was
appointed by the society Immediately
after the catastrophe, and it was at the
scene as soon as railroad connection had
been re-established. It consisted of
James Francis, of Lowell Mass, Chair
man Max J. Becker, of Pittsburgh,
President of the Society, and Chief En-
glneer of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's southwest lines; William E.
Worthem, of New York, and Alphonse
Eteley, Chief Engineer of the Croton Ac-
queduct Commission. Tne committee
constitutes, according to Secretary John
Bogart, New York State Engineer, as good
authority upon engineering subjects as
can be found. Mr.. EtelY said
"We decided to withhold the report,
because if it were published while these
law suits are pending, it might appear as
though we were volunteering expert testi-
mony on legal matter. We do not wish
either to be called as witnesses in these
suits, nor do we care to drag the name of
the society into the difficulty. When the
cases are settled in the lower courts, | see
no reason why we should longer hold our
report. We made our investigations per-
sonally, and did not even intrust minute
details to other parties. All the measure
ments were our own"
Mr.. Etely said that the society's action
