BUTTE. July 15.-[Speoial. l-Charles r.
Hart; city editor of the Butte Sunday By
stander, was arrested this morning because
his system wouldn't work. Hart discovered
a new system to beat the faro bank, and
after loosing his own money forged the
name Of his employer, j. M. Kennedy. in
tending to redeem the check before it should
be presented at the bank. He forged at
least nine checks, all $40 or $15, the total
amount being about 800. But the money
obtained on each check was soon in the
dealers pile and the system remained OBJ
stinate. Hart is in Jail on charge of for
gerry. He was formerly local reporter for
the Standard in Anaconda, and is naturally
fine, tony man.

by Educators.
TORONTO, July B.-The great teachers
convention is now in full course, and most
OF tho delegates concur that 1t is az SUCCESS
ful gathering as any In the history OF tho
association. About 10000 teachers are in
tho city, and although many enjoyed OK
cursions and short trips during tho day,
the departments held crowded meetings

G,OOD delegates. This morning Horticul-
tural pavilion was filled to listen TO pa, era
read BY State superintendent Preston. OF
Mlssissippi, and supt. A. s. Mackey, of
ism IN tho public schools. DR.. Preston set
forth that though the old idea of patriot
ism WIS to be ready to die for
ones country, the modern and truer idea
was to live and work for fatherland and
strive to leave it better than VIC found it.
The speaker had supreme belief in tho per-
pntnity of the American union. The eter-
nal principle of free government will fuse
all eiAcorqnnt clements. Public SC hools
are great iusing furnaces and from the
plastic stream of American childhood thoy
must mould American patriots.
Tonight at Il great mass meeting United
States Commissioner of Education
Harris gave Il concise and lucid
account of the present status of
education i'll tho United States, showing
how both the white and colored population
were yearly taking greater advantage of
tht splendid educational facilities within
their reach and how vast strides
are, being made in education. He
spoke of the vast sums paid from public
moneys for educationa! purposes during the
past thirteen years and referred with pride
to the fact that an annual endowment of
SlOOG0,000 had been donated for many
years past from private purses of wealthy
citizens. Ontario Minister of Education
Ross sketched the general plan upon which
tae Canadinn system was based. A mon.
ster concert was also given the teachers this
evening.

future of tho city, The primal ele-
ments or factors in the immediate
future development of Roanoke are the
Roanoke and Southern railroad, which,
in itself, is creature of Roanoke, and
the Roanoke Development Company.
The completion OF this railroad will
mark an era in this city's history as the
first line independent of our old friend,
tho Norfolk and Western. Its coming
will encourage other railway enterprises,
and thus we see other factors growing
out of our local Importance.
With the advantage of competitive
transportation facilities Roanoke will
then become prime factor as q manu-
featuring point, and, through natural
processes, industrial enterprises will
present themselves, clustering in the
vicinity of parent industries.
When all these factors are considered,
however, we have yet to contemplate
the greatest necessity Of and to the en-
tire aggregation, and that is the organi-
zation of our business men iuto strong
commercial body or association.
1t has been the wonder of thoughtful
men that Roanoke should have ad-
vanoed so phcnomenally without an
organized effort, but this development
was the result of the organized Norfolk
and Western and correlative enter
prises.
The time has now come. however,
when we can no longer depend upon one
factor. If we would be truly great as
city, let us concentrate all these ele-
ments into the Commercial Association,
and by reasoning together we can adj
vance with grand strides.

THE SYNOD.

Roanoke will have another opportu-
nifty to display her hospitality during
the coming week, and no one doubts
that she will in every way be equal to
the occasion.
The Presbyterian Synod of Virginia
will assemble Wednesday, and Roanoke
will be filled with scholarly and cul-
tured gentlemen from three States. The
Synod OF Virginia is the largest, and
perhaps the most influential, of the
Southern General Assembly, and en-
braces in it's mem bership some of the
most noted divines of the country and
many of Virginia's most prominent
men in public affairs.
Notwithstanding that Roanoke is a
popular place for the meeting of de-
Lucrative bodies, the synod will he in
many respects one of the most notable
gatherings ever held in Roanoke.

night. 1t had been announched that
Professor Mari would read paper, but
he wrote to President Wingate, inform
ing him that no was unable to be
present.

and elected Messrs. G.. r. Henderson
and j. q. Osborne directors to fill va
cancies. The Improvement of county
roads was discussed and committee
was appointed to present to the Gov
ernOr and legislature resolutio ask
ing for geological survey of the State
The following resolution was also
adopted
Resolved. That the Association of
Engineers of Virginia have heard with
great satisfaction Of the early compile
ton of the Roanoke and Southern rail
way, opening up. as it will, another
great region to transportation facilities,
in which there are splendid magnetic,
Bessemer and other iron ores and valu-
able minerals. And that the Norfolk
and Western is about to extend one OF
its lines UP Cripple creek, west OF Ivan
hoe, thus opening up to all the furnaces
along its several lines territory very
rich in high grade brown iron ores and
agricultural products, a powerful re.
serve of pure and cheap ores for all the
furnaces of Virginia. These great lines
will thus very materially expand the
field for the employment of engineers. g"
The following members were present:
President j. III. Wingate; Vice. presi-
dent c. &. Boyd, of Wytheville; Secre-
tary II. w. Newby; Treasurer j. r.

FACTORS LIZ .clry BuIIDrNG.

The question uppermost in che minds
OF men, even in the most prosperous
season, is that relating to the times,
but especially do men wrestle with the
questicn in periods OF business depres-
sion. Some men under misfortune will
not be comforted, while others are com
PLEASANT, serenely allowing matters to
take their course. Others yet are con-
stantly on the alert to catch the faint
est tint of the Bow of Hope, and these
are they who lead men out of the
slough Of despond.
When we begin to emerge, however,
isometktng more tangible than "tint"
must confront our senses, and hence we
look for factors.
80 let us enumerate few of these
elements. these essentials TO growth
and prosperity. We refer especially ia
Roanoke as factor in the development
of Southwest Virginia; then to those
elements which have made Roanoke
what it is; then to those things which
Roanoke has made, and which recipro-
cally would sustain Roanoke under
more trying circumstances than those
through which we have just passed.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
was the original factor in the develop.
ment of Roanoke, and with scarcely an
exception tho Norfolk and Western
stands out prominently upon every er-
terprise in and around Roanoke. The
great Roanoke Machine Works, when
working at full capacity, afford the life
medium to 1900 producers, and we
might name other industries, but deem
it unnecessary.
Roanoke has made of itself now
center; hence all things growing GU. OF
