THE country school does good work
but it might do better You point
with pride, and 50 do !, to scores of
great men who have never crossed the
threshold Of any more pretentious in
stitution Of learning than the district
school This is true. but the error
lies in assuming that the district school
did it all. True it plays its part but
more is due TO the sturdy nature Of
the country lad. to the man within the
boy, than TO his training in the district
school Rising at an early hour he
does the chores about the farm and
performs such other tasks as fond
parent may see fit to impose upon him.
and then trudges away through mud
and snow to the isolated school house
which to him is paradise. What
wonder then. that such energy and
ambition conquer every obstruction in
his pathway through life2 But mark
you, this is only the exception. while
the great multitude tarry By the way
side and are lostin this turmoil OF life.

THERE are some who never seem to
believe themselves capable OF any
thing; they see others press forward
to attempt and achieve. and shrink
back into Responding inactivity.
Having no faith in themselves, they
undertake nothing and effect nothing.
If they are convicted Of some fault or
bad habit they have so little hope of
being able to cure it that they scarcely
make an effort If some avenue of
usefulness and honor opens up before
them they draw back, almost sure
that they should not succeed, and de-
cline to enter If some duty presses
urgently upon their conscience they
try to quiet its promptings by plead
ing inability. Thus their lives pass
away in uselessness. their faculties do
not develop or their characters i'm
prove their abilities are wasted. they
dwindle into insignifcance. and all
this, not for lack of power but for
the want OF a confidence and courage
that would set that power into good
practical working order

AT THE BATHS.
A Splendid Exhibition Witnessed by q
Large Crowd.

A Splendid Exhibition Witnessed by G
Large Crowd.
There was quite large crowd at the
Swimming Baths last evening. and the
exhibition was one of the best that was
ever given in this popular place.
Professors Dolan and Manning were al
their best, and the daring feats they per-
formed elected plenty of applause from
the spectators. The Professors were ably
assisted by Messrs. Foote and Toole.
The Irish Arab was on hand again
and kept the crowd convulsed with
laughter.
The most laughable feature of the even
ing, however, was Mrs. Jones' second
swimming lesson" Professor Dolan did
the teaching and assisted in carrying the
burlesque out admirably, as we'll as to
submit to some rough treatment at the
hands of his unwieldy pupil.
Major Hartley acted as master of cere-
monies during the evening and acquit-
ted himself with credit.
1t was announced that the new swim
ming club which is being formed (having
something like seventy-tive members al

The management of the baths continues
to be most excellent, and nothing but
praise is heard for the manner in which
the Institution is conducted. No rough
characters are admitted, and in conse-
quence the department is of the best

Prick Believ es in Private Armies-H
Says the strikers Lost 81 100000.


PITTsBURG, Nov. 23-The senatorial Pinkerton
investigation committee began its session here
this afternoon. Chief Martin, OF the Carnegie
labor bureau, thought the employment of armed
detectives bad, as the workingmen violently OPP
posed Them
II. C. Frick thought his company had a right
to employ armed men to protect their property.
He said the firm was now treating with the
men as individuals, but had no prejudice
against them if they belonged to a union.
He denied that the firm had q blacklist,
and said they employed over 10000
men, about IS per cent OF whom were native
Americans. Speaking of the effect of the strike,
Prick said the men had probably lost abDrt
$1,000, 900 in wages. The firms loss he could
not estimate. They forfeited good many con.
tracts, but in no case were held for damages.
II. ID. Gamble, OF the United States circuit
court, being examined, stated that it was his
opinion that extraordinary means would be
Quired in such affairs at Homestead. The
laws were inefficient, and the sheriff, by reason
OF having no money, was almost powerless.
The committee then adjourned until tomorrow.

After Adopting Resolutions Demanding
Important Changes In the Laws.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23-The general assembly,
knights of Labor, adjourned sine die this alter
noon. The chief feature OF the days proceed
ings was the voting down of resolution advo-
eating the abolition OF the militia and the
adoption OF one favoring return to the popular
form IN vogue prior to ls60-nameiy, allowing
the state militia to elect its own officers and the
rank aud file to hold their own arms-and, con-
tinuing: "And we discountenance the centrali.
cation OF the military power in any way; object
to the expenditure of vast sums OK the peoples
money in building up useless armories, and 1u-
dorse the popular system in vogue in Switzer-
land" Among other resolutions were: De-
handing law abolishing the sweating system;
the passage of bill to prohibit convict labor in
the United States: favoring the continu-
ance OF the state bank tax and the
restriction of the issuance OF money
except by the government The assembly
declared itself opposed to closing the Worlds
fair on Sunday aud refused to interfere with the
matter of selling liquor on the grounds. The
general executive board was instructed to take
steps looking toward the establishment of a
homestead building and loan association, and
an assurance association, to provide funds to
enable members TO carry on suits under the law
rendering employers liable for accidents to EN-.
ployes. A resolution was passed in favor o. the
restriction of immigration TO such persons as
have money enough to support themselves for a
year. A resolution was also adopted favoring
the passage of a law prohibiting any one from
voting who cannot read the ballot, the pro-
visions OF the law TO take effect one year after
passage: aud it was also recommended that
there be the closest utilization between all far
mers and iaboring men in sympathy with the
Knights OF Labor.

The Marine Corps Too Small.

WAsHGNGToN CITY, Nov. 23.-Charles Hay
wood, commandant OF the marines, in his an.
nual report to the secretary of the navy, ur-
gently recommends that the marine corps be
increased in number. He says the present small
force is called upon for such varied employ
ment that it is impossible to properly guard the
government property at the navy yards and
that the men are very much oyerworked. The
commandant recommends that the army
legislation relative to assertions be extended to
the marine corps, and he urges that the condi.
ton of the marine band be classified and i'm
proved. In order to encourage marines to save
money. it is suggested that the naval act pro-
vide that the deposit savings plans for seamen
be extended to the marine corps. An earnest
plea is made in the report for the issue OF an
order assigning the marines to duty TO man the
secondary batteries aboard ships, which work
they performed with great efficiency until de-
tached by an order from the department.
