SHORTER HOURS IN SCHOOLS.

Superintendent of Public Instru-
ton Schaeffer said TO q Harrisburg

ence would be made in his forthcom-
ing annual report to the movement

form in the stuffing process in the
public schools.
81 should think that five hours a
day is long enough for pupils in the
lower grades" continued Mr.. Schae-
fer. at is the chief duty of the
child to grow, and if the amount of
work prescribed by the course robs
it of the needed hours of sleep the
teacher should diminish the work
regardless Of the danger of not pro-
noting all her pupils to the next
grade according to the expectation
of their parents"
"Ihc schools should be small
enough" he said, "for the teacher to
study the needs of each pupil. The
welfare of the child is of more con
sequence than any course of study
or any system of grading. Some
American cities have reduced the
school day to five hours in order to
prevent such school diseases as my
ope and the prostration of the ner-
vous system"

Frank Gallagher was perhaps the

Monday night and Tuesday morn
ing. Charley Landon and Andrew
Hackley commenced shingling his
house on Monday, and tore off a
good part of the old shingles on the
east side of the building and failed
to cover up the hole with new ones.
This hole extended the entire length
of the building and OF course Gala
gher's "Cafe" got fearful wetting
from top to bottom Monday night.
Frank gathered up all the jugs, cans
and tubs there were in the house
and placed them under the drip
pings, but they were not Of sufficient
size to hold the down pour of rain
and in short time the plastering
on that side of the house was soaked.
Failing in this he climed on the roof
and attempted to cover the hole with
shingles. While thus engaged at
about midnight, he slipped and but
for the slat the carpenters had nailed
near the edge OF the roof, would

STRICKEN DEAF AND DUMB.
During q Fit Of Blaspheming and
Cursing.
From the Milton Record.

From the Milton Record.
The following remarkable story Is
going the rounds about town. On
Monday, reporter of the Record
called on Rev. Fossellman, OF the
Evangelical church, who verified the
sta atement so far as they came under
his observation About eight
months ago an iron worker named
Starks, employed down town became
angered and swore and blasphemed
in a most frightful way. In the
midst of his profanity he was strick-
en- deaf and dumb and never spoke
word until last week, when he at
tended protracted meeting in the
Evangelical church, and made pro-
fession of religion, after which his
speech came back to him. The next
day, howaver, he was speechless
again and he is now loosing his sight.
When he first lost his speech at the
mill he said vision appeared to him
and approached him for his wicked
ness and when it vanished he was
unable to speak or hear. The case
has tinge of the supernatural that
we would like to see investigated.
Train robbery will not be an easy
task in the future, judging from the
reports of preparation by the rail-
road companies to meet this recent
method of theft by highway men.
The express companies which carry
large sums of money are seriously
considering the advisibility of plac-
ing the money rates so high that the
banks will be forced to use the Unit :
ed States mails for the transporta-
ton of their money, must "hold up
the United States mails as well as
the express companies, thus making
such robbery Government offence.
The express companies are now
carrying on their heavy money trains
guards armed with the latest improv-
cd styles of revolvers and Winches-
ters. These guards are men known
for their determination and nerve,
and will most likely give warm re-
ception to the next gang that at
tempts to rob a train anywhere in
the country. The express compan-
les are also placing burglar-proof
safes 10 their cars. These safes are
strongly constructed, SO it will take
the robbers hours to get into them,
and if they are blown up the money
will be destroyed SO that it will not
do the robbers any good, the safes
are locked in New York and cannot
be opened by any Que until their
arrival at Chicago or other points OF
destination, the messenger not know
ing the combination.

which holds them together. The
axle on which the great wheel turns
is steel bar 80 inches thick and As feet
long. 1t is fastened to each of the twin
wheels in steel hub 16 feet in diam
seter. All of this great mass, the hubs
and the two circles, is held together by
2I-inch steel rods, arranged to run out
in pairs from the axle to spread ID feet
apart at the circumference.
There are thirty-six cars on the
wheel, each capable of comfortably
seating forty people. The cars are 81
feet long, 13 feet wide and 9 feet high,
and each one weighs Is tons.
The wheel, with its passengers,
weighs 1900 tons. The whole thing
rests on two pyramidal towers at the
axis. The towers are 140 feet high,
40 by so feet at the base and 8 feet
square at the top. Each tower has 4
feet resting on 20-foot cube concrete
foundations. Underneath these are
gcrossbars of steel. The motive power
comes from 1,0O0-horse power steam
engine under the wheel. 1t will find no
difficulty in revolving the wheel and
the passengers as FAST. as the latter

like mammoth bicycle chain. In the
construction every precaution has beep
taken against accident.

What Hon. Samuel w. Allerton Thinks of
Them.
The Hon. Samuel W. Allerton, the noted
capitalist of Chicago, arrived over the Bur-
lington Route a few days since, and during an
interview with ssStar" reporter said sYOu
here in these waters. have had the oppor-
tunity of travelling some over the United
States and have visited great number of
its health resorts with springs which are
claimed to have medicinal properties, but, in
MY opinion, you have water here that il SUI
perior to anything in this whole country, il
not in the world, for the cure Of rheumatic
afdictiOns and diseases of the skin. My
attention was first called to these springs
by an intimate friend, Mr.. Spencer, who
owns large cattle ranch west of here. He
had q man on his ranch that was so badly
afflicted with rheumatism that he was hauled
here in helpless condition. He was bathed
in the old Indian bath for several weeks,
and he went homo entirely cured up, and1
resolved that if ever had rheumatism
Dakota. We brought Mrs. AIlerton here
ms soon as she was able to come at all and
have found that all Mr.. Spencer said in
reference to the curative properties of the
waters has been realized in my wife's case.
She says she feels as though she has just
had been called upon to endure excruciating
torture-every joint and muscle racked
with pain 30 that life was burden; No,
think Hot Springs future is grand one.
Its air is pure and wholesome, its scenery
any effort, and it is just tie place for rest
and building up shattered constitution.
You do not talk enough about the value of
your waters for skin troubles. !, myself,
received great benefit from them last year
in short visit there Your climate makes
you Infinitely superior to the Arkansas Hot
Springs, and in a country where so many
thousand are afflicted with Rheumatism and
other kindred ailments, if your advantages
are made known, there is no question but
that you will become the foremost health
resort in the United States. We are de-
lighted with our trip here and what your
waters have done for us and will make fire.

lS&5.I WOrldsa Fair

II Takes tho Place OF Tower at the
Worlds Fair.
After tho various tower schemes for
the worlds fair were abandoned there
came 70 the front man by the name
OF Ferris who had what incredulous
people termed monstrous wheel in his
head. MT. Ferris became the object Of
much ridicule on account of q pet prof.
ect OF his, which was to build q big
wheel which would carry passengers to
an altitude Of 27O feet. His plan was
regarded as exceedingly visionary, but
after frequent rebuffs he succeeded in
obtaining permit to put up his wheel
in the Midway Plaisance. The work
was begun last March and has Just
reached successful completion and has
been put in operation.
Its highest point is 265 feet above the
surface of the earth. The diameter is
$50 feet, and the circumference s25, the
entire thing being raised Is feet above
the ground. =
In reality there are two wheels,
twins, 80 feet apart, but. it takes
them both to make the Ferris wheel.
These twins are connected by iron rods
and struts which do not approach
nearer than 20 feet to the periph-
cry. Outside Of these rods the cars
are hung and supported by steel bars
OF about five inches in thickness extend
ing from one Wheel to the other. Each
wheel has for it's outline a curved iron
beam 25k by 10 inches. Forty feet in
side is another beam, forming smaller

leading artists and artisans view with
great pride and satisfaction the work
of young Americans and predict for
sculpture and art a glorious future in
the west. And they are undoubtedly
warranted in their predictions. as a
careful scrutiny of the products of
American genius at the fair will prove.
In this connection we may fifty quote
the words of the Philadelphia Ledger
in reference to the grand exhibition,
which says:
Irrespective of the historical, scien-
tific or artistic lessons it has to impart,
it is grand exhibition, appealing to
every ones sense of beauty, and to
every ones interest in things curious
The buildings are marvels OF archi-
tectural dignity and beauty and SO vari-
GUS in their styles and SO richly orna-
mented with sculptured figures as to
afford the keenest delight to the eye.
Within the beautiful structures are
tens Of thousands Of objects to delight
the eye or inform the mind. It is the
world in miniature. Some people will
be more interested in one department
than in others, but there is variety
enough to occupy all the spare time
that any busy man or woman can give
to the faiF.

arts there are extensive exhibits Of

open their eyes, and the entertainment
they received here in our s'wild and
woolly vest was such as to afford
them a fruitful topic for discussion
when they return to the palatial halls
of their ancestors.
Many prominent men and women of
our own country have come and gone
and every one of them has left with the
impression that nothing was lacking to
make of the fair complete success.
And the impression was no mistaken
one, to judge from the later reports
from official sources. Everything points
to good interest on worlds fair stock
just &C present, and there is little likeli-
hood of any falling off in the receipts
during the remainder of the fair season.
It has been said that the Columbian
exposition of 1893 will be one of the
greatest educators of the people that
has ever arisen in this country. The
