NINLH SCHOLASTIC TEAR.
The National Conservatory of Music an,
 its Prospects for the Season.

The National Conservatory of, Music and
 its Prospects for the Season.
 The ninth scholastic year of the Ma tional Conservatory of Music of Amer ica, located at 126 and 12S East Seven teenth street, New York city, begins on Saturday, September 1. The faculty comprises sixty of the most accom- plished artists and instructors, headed by Dr. Antonin Dvorak, the eminent composer and dire ,tor. Rafael Joseffy, the world-famous piano virtuoso, per sonally directs the piano studies, while the various other departments are guid- ed by equally well known and compe- tent professors.
 The National Conservatory of Music was founded by Mrs. Jeanette M.Thur Der. not only to raise the standard O. taste and cultivation in this country but also to provide young men and women with the means of pursuing attractive and profitable careers. This splendid college of music, which has staff of teachers and critics rivalling that of any conservatory of music, is not a money-making institution. Ii stands apart from all comrnercialisn and spends 50 per cent. more for the education of student than the stu dent contributes to it's support. The loss is met by it's high-minded founder and few staunch lovers of music.
 Does it pay to get musical educa- tion? The appeal of even the greatest among the worlds composers for seri- ous devotion to music must meet this practical question, and the results of the work done by the National Con- servatory of Music show clearly that a musical education is a good investment. for its graduates are earning from $1,- 900 to s10,000 a year. -~ ,.= -

But He E caped Without Scratch.
 Francis Kolb of Holyoke, Mass, caused considerable excitement on the passenger train which leaves Westfield at 9:4S on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad Wednesday morning. He supposed he was on the Holyoke train. but on finding out to the contrary he quickly ran to the door and jumped on before he could be pre- vented. The train was moving at the rate of thirty. miles an hour, for the place where he jumped it at the lock- house crossing, some distance above the station. Strange to say he escaped without the slightest scratch.

Better Par for school Teaehers.

Better Pay for School Teachers.
''The laborer is worthy of his
hire" Hard work and faithful SER
vice demands adequate compensa-
ton.
This applies with peculiar force
to the work done and the salary re-
ceived by West Virginia public
school teachers. There is no hard
er work done than that performed
by conscientious school instructor.
The constant effort to compel the
pupil to avail himself of the means
of improvement offered, the thoua-
and worries consequent upon an
earnest striving to preserve order
among number funruly children,
render the work of faithful teach-
er perhaps more difficult than al
most any other.
Yet, the compensation received
does not begin tocompare with that
paid workers in other fields. Thirty
dollars per month is perhaps the
average salary paid public school
teachers in this State, and of that
amount he often has to expend one
third or one-fourth for board alone.
This is glaringly inadequate and
should be substantially increased.
West Virginia's financial condition
would admit of larger salaries be-
ing paid, and provision should be>
made for an increase. Many State
officials receive twice even three
times the amount paid common
school teachers and do less work.
The labor attached to a position
should regulate the amount of salary
paid and if this fact is recognized,
we feel sure of having better paid
teachers.
Better salaries mean better teach
ers. 1t is difficult to obtain good
service for little money. As the
paid teachers increase, Just
in proportion will their average of
be raised. The most eff
fectual method of improving our
public schools is to increase teach
er's salaries. When this is done
the standard of examination for
teachers may be raised and men
and women of higher qualifications
will enter the profession.-KdnalDhG

Important Questions
W1sInSGToS, Nov. Currency re-
form it's said, viii be tho keynote of
the Presidents message. This state
ment comes from member of the cabi-
net, who talked with Mr.. Cleveland.
All that is known is that his recon-
mendations viii embody many of the
featlres of the so-called Baltimore
plan and it is said, to the surprise of
many that he viii suggest the removal
or dlfication of the tax on state bank
curren ncy and VIII point ont also the

Tie tariff recommendations of the
president will. it is said, be limited 1t
is limited that the tariff will not take mp
much space in the next message. The
president has practically abandoned
hope of free coal and free iron for the
present. The sugar question is likely
to consume most of the space reserved
to the tariff in the message. Free
sugar Is Impractical in the present state
of revenues and would mean loss of
$40, 100000 annually to the treasury.
The president will probably say SO, but. is
disposed to recommend the repeal of the
one-eighth of / per cent ''ditferential'
duty that was the subject of so much
comment in congress. MIR. Cleveland
thinks this is simply an unnecessary
concession to refiners. The suggestion
is likely to include also a recommends
ton for the repeal of the one-tenth of 1
per cent additional tax imposed on i'm
ported sugar from bounty grant,
ing countries, which has provoked the
row with Germany and threatened our
export trade to that country.
In treating our foreign relations the
president will, it is said, in addition to
exploiting the facts of the Chinese re-
quest for mediation III the China Japan
war. give his attention to Hawaii, and
devote considerable attention to Ad-
miral Walkers report ON Pearl harbor,
and the annexation sentiment on the
islands.
Under the head of domestic relation,
the recent general railroad strikes will
be discussed by the president, and he
will undoubtedly ask congress to create
a permanent nonpartisan commission
of arbitration.
The debt of the Southern Pacific rail-
road is now nearly 7O,000, GOO. and the
president Vyin suggest foreclosure, un-
less it is promptly paid.
He will also recommend government
aid for the building of the Nicaragua
canal

HOT AFTER HIRscHFIELo.
The Fargo Divorce Suit Not All Tried in
Court

Court.
FARGO, N. D., Nov. 27.-It is re-
ported from Helena that Attorney Gen
eral Haskell of Montana will bring suit
for criminal libel against Aaron Hirsch-
field because of charges made by the
latter in his testimony in his case here
against Haskell and Mr. Hirschfield. 1t
is likely the present case will be brought
to speedy termination. Hirschfield' g
friends fear trouble to him and wish to
get away as soon as possible.
Although Mrs. Hirshfield appeared in
Fargo for the first time last week, and
the evidence on behalf of the plaintiff
only has so far been presented, the feel
ing against Birschfield has grown SO
bitter that he is insulted on the streets
and denounced in public interviews. 1t
is feared that this feeling VII culminate
in an open demonstration. 81 extensive
has this sentiment grown that there are
even threats against the court if the
public Interpretation of Justice is not
melted out. The defense has no wit
nesses, being without funds to pay the
expenses of their coming to Fargo.
Their testimony is contained in deposi-
tions which will require several days
reading.
