to be ship-load of confscated tea

down there and buy it in, and then
come to me-" The man laughed.
ST have no money to buy whole ship
load of tea with, he said. s'You don't
need any money, I tell you, snapped
the old man; ssgo down and bid on
the whole cargo, and then come to
me-" The next day the drayman
went down to the sale. A large crowd
of retailers were present, and the auc-
tioneer said that those bidding would
have the privilege of taking one case
or the whole ship-load, and that the
bidding would be on the pound. He
then began the sale. A retail grocer
started the bidding, and the dray-
man raised him. On seeing this,
the crowd gazed with no small amount
of surprise. When the case was knock
ed down to the drayman, the auctioneer
said he supposed the buyer desired
only the one case. ssI'll take the
whole ship-load," coolly returned the
successful bidder. The auctioneer
was astonished; but, on some ones
whispering to him that it was Girard's
man who was the speaker, his manner
changed. and he said he supposed it
was all right. The news soon spread
that Girard was buying tea in large
quantities, and the price rose several
cents. ssGo and sell your tea, said
Girard to the drayman next day. The
drayman was shrewd, and he went out
and made contracts with several brok-
ers to take the stock at shade below
the market price, thereby making
quick sale. In few hours he was
worth fifty thousand dollars. Il Argo-

SAYS the New York Post: The L

Says the New York Post: The La
Dor Commissioner of Iowa has been
investigating the subject of teachers
salaries, and finds that they are ex-
traordinarily small. Returns from
about one-tenth of the whole number,
which appear to be thoroughly repre-
sentative, show an average salary of
$243. .16a a year for women, and $298. 80
for men. This is much below the
wages paid unskilled labor, and hum
dreds of teachers only obtain
their subsistence through help from
relatives and friends, their pay not be-
ing enough to secure food and cloth
ing. The schools are already suffering
by reason of the small salaries given
teachers, since men and women of
ability are more and more loath to en-
ter SO ill-paid a profession. The old
rule was to refuse certificate to any
applicant for teachers place who
could not correctly answer eighty per
cent. of the questions asked at the ex-
animation; but SO low has the stand
ard sunk that some county superin-
tendents have been compelled to issue
certificates to applicants who failed to
answer more than ffty-five per cent.
OF the questions in order to get any
teachers. Iowa has always been proud
OF her school system, ard these revela-
tions of its decadance are a disagree

On the coast of Zanzibar, Africa,
the capture by the British cruiser
Philomel of slave dhows is of frequent
occurrence. The traffic is largely car
ried on under the French flag. A
boats crew from man-of-war boarded
large dhow flying the French flag.
They demanded the papers which
proved correct, and the right of search
was denied. One of the sailors kicked
off the hatch; then number of little
arms were stretched up from below.
Seventy-seven slaves were crowded be-
tween the two decks without light or
air. The captain exclaimed in dis
gust: "What is the use of my paying
$50 reis for a French interpreter if
this is all get by it." Sixty-fye
slaves were found on barren island,
where they had been landed by q
dhow, to give slight respite from the
horrors of confinement on board of
which they had been dying.

The Westminster Review conta

The Westminster Review contains
an article on the South African labor
problem, the interest of which lies
chiefly in its subject. It would seem
that the soil of South Africa, that is,
of Cape Colony and the adjoining col
onies, is comparatively fertile, but it
5s infested with locusts and subject to
drought. This would not be SO bad if
the Africans were willing to work for
the wages the farmer offers, namely,
81. so per month, with very poor board.
But the natives, though they sometimes
accept the wages are usually unwilling
to do farm work at any price, espe-
cially as they can get$20 per month in
the mines and on the railroads. They
are, however, irregular workmen, and
they stop work as soon as they obtain
enough to satisfy their very limited de-
sires. In the mining camps ana in the
towns they behave like white men and
invest most of their money at the
grog shop; but, as their desires in
other directions are meager, they have
much more than white men have to
spend in this way, and they can, there
fore, ruin themselves much faster.
Most of the city natives soon breal,
down and become entire wrecks. In
brief, the African farmer can not pay
enough to obtain white labor, SO has
to put up with colored help, which is
poor, as cheap help naturally would
bs; and when the native gets high
wages be drinks himself to death if the
grog shop is within reach. This is the
South African labor problem.

Towers, pillars and monuments have
been constructed of very various ma

silver, gold, porcelain, ivory, and even

height, having ornamental arches in
each of its four sides, in which are
hung silk bannerets. From this base

height of 35 feet. It is surmounted
by liberty cap, on which perches

Suit Against the City on Account

War Again-COurt Briefs.

The capacity of the spruce young city
engineer received an exposure in a COM
plant filed in the Superior Court yester-
day afternoon. the complaint was based
upon the i~ncompetency of the city engineer
in establishing the grade of Fletcher ave-
nue., which was recently improved. Caro-
line NJ. Huffer has sued the city for
$500, on account of damage caused her
premises by the absolute lack of drainage
for surface water on the street. In her
complaint she alleges that prior to the i'm
provement the drainage of surface water
was adequate to carry off the water with
out damage to the property, but after
the Improvement the city carelessly and
negligently failed to provide for the
escape of the surface water. On account
of the lack of drainage she alleges that,
after a heavy rainfall, water collected in
a body in front of her property to the depth
of six feet and overlooked her property.
The water poured into the cellar. and the
dampness caused the plaster to crack and
the paper to scale from the walls; the water
also flowed into the well and cistern and
filed them with muddy, dirty surface wa
ter. She places her damage at $500, and
asks judgment against the city for that
amount

HEDGES LOCKED UP.
He Is Charged with the Murder of Dan
Gaddis, of WhitestOwn.

On a warrant from the Boone county cor

Hedges, living near the City Hospital. was
arrested yesterday and locked up. Three
weeks ago Hedges got into trouble with
Dan and Mary Gaddis, of Whitestown. while
the couple were with a band of horse trad
ers in camp at the end Of Indiana avenue.
In the fight which ensued Dan Gaddis was
struck in the head with a neck yoke WELD
ed by Hedges, from the effect of which Cad
dis died last week. Mary Gaddis then at
tackled Hedges with a knife and cut him so
severely that he was confined to the City
Hospital for a week. He yet shows the
marks of the Infatuated woman's knife. He
states that he struck Gaddis purely in
self-defense and to save his own life, as
the latter came at him with murder in his
eye. Hedges will be taken to Boone county
for trial.

JOHN NOURSE CAUGHT.
Police Have Something of a Time in
Capturing Manley's Assailant.

John Nourse, the young man who is re-

OF Dennis Manley, of No. IS Maple street,
was captured yesterday by police serSeants
and Wilson and patrolman Simp-
son. Since his assault on Manley the pris-
oner has been eluding the officers, and sue
ceeded in cleverly outwitting several at
tempts at capture until yesterday evening
about 5 o'clock. At that hour the police
learned that he was in hiding at the house
of Jake Cashner, No. 2H West Merrill
street.
He was found there, but denied that he
was the man, and stubbornly refused TO be
taken. Polite persuasion repeatedly failed
to move the young desperado, and 1T was
only when he caught a glimpse of the bar
rel of Sergeant Schwaub's revolver that he
consented to dislodge himself. He wSs
charged with assault with intent to Kill:
Manley is recovering from the wound and
will be about in a few days. Nourse AYERS
that he did not intend TO use the knife on
Manley. and did not know that he had cut
him until told so by one Of his friends.
