wool PRICES UNDER FREE WOOL.
The Wool Growers Get Good Prices for
their Clips Under the New Tariff.

The Wool Growers Get Good Prices for
their Clips Under the New Tariff.
A Wheeling, w. Va, special of
September9 tothe Cleveland, Ohio,
Plaindealer says; The good effects
of the new tariff bill on the wool
market are coming more rapidly
than even its most hearty support
ers had dared to wish. The Wheel
ing Register, through its special
correspondents in eastern Ohio,
West Virginia and western Penn
sylvania has made inquiry concern
ing prices and demands, and the
result has been far more than sat
isfactory to the friends of the free
wool measure.
Thecorrespondentat Woodsfeld,
Ohio, the center of a large wool
raising county, represented in Con-
gross by A. j. Pearson, whose place
was jeopardized by his vote for free
wool, reports that Alexander Har-
mon sold 10000 pounds within a
week at 26 cents, and was offered
as much for the remainder of his
clip. This he refused, believing
he could do better before the first
of the year. Clint & Pfalzgraf,
also of Monroe County, have sold
their wool within a week at 20 cents,
it being a less desirable clip than
that of Harmon. Miller & Co., of
Beallsville, Ohio, are Offering 20
and q cents, but are getting no
wool. The wool men are set against
anything short of % cents. The
report from Washington, Pa, is
that washed wool is selling and has
been for a week at 20 and q cents.
Markell & Co., of Monongahela, are
Offering and have instructed their
country agents to take up 100000
pounds at from 20 to % cents, &C
cording to grade.
Several instances where wool has
sold in the West Virginia panhan.
die at from 20 to % cents are re.
ported. Most Of the wool buyers
are Republicans, and the fairy sto.
ries that they have told wool raiserl
within the past three months are
remarkable. They have used every
means to bulldoze buyers into sell
ing at from Is to II cents, and have
been able to get some wool at thosC
figures.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Editor THE CHRONICLES.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
In looking over your issue of last week
Inotice an article signed by County Trus
tee D. j. Allen, in which the school fund
for 1894 is limited to 81 per capita, ac-
cording to the scholastic population, and
the directors are instructed to close the
schools Of their respective districts when
the amount taught has reached 81 per
capita. In the same article he requests
that all directors and especially the clerks
of the several boards, meet him at Cam
den on the first Monday in October.
In commenting on the article, l wish
to be informed as to the whereabouts Of
the county superintendent, | would like
also to be informed whether the offices of
trustee and county superintendent Of pub
lie instruction have been consolidated /;
and if so, when and by what authority.
If not consolidated, and we have a coun-
ty superintendent, does it not seem that
the trustee is usurPing the functions Of
the county superintendent and exercising
the privileges of that Office and thus hold
ing or controlling two lucrative offices.
Possibly Mr.. Allen, who has filled the
office of county superintendent for two
terms (and l will say with credit to him
self and with benefit to the people of the
county,, has mistaken the office to which
ne was elected and thinks that he is still
county superintendent.
But again referring to Mr., Aliens arti-
Gle, we are informed the term of school
taught this year should be shortened be-
cause of outstanding school warrants.
If you will remember, the per capits
last year was 81 .65, and the public schools
were shortened two months. The same
rate of taxation is levied for this year.
and there are still outstanding warrants
When, in the name of justice, will these
outstanding warrants be paid Off?
Suppose l pay my tax for this year
the full amount under the laW-it is no
distributed until next year lfor, as ever!
one knows, the schools are one year be
hindu, and leave the county and thu
and the county trustee orders the school
to be taught only three instead OF tiy
months, from what source can l have re
turned to me the taxes that | have pai
for two months tuition which l have new
er received?
If there are outstanding warrants 10
any period except for this year let tn
county court levy a special tax to tax
them up. And if pay taxes to have nj
children taught five months, then in TN
name Of Justice and honesty don't chea
me out Of two months OF it.
For justice,
JULIAN.

MAKING DOLLS EYES.
How Queen Victoria Set This Fashion
England.

England.
Who would think of such thing as
queen deciding the color of the dolls
eyes within her kingdom?
Such thing has been done-not by
royal edict, however, but simply by
having her own eyes set the fashion
When Victoria became queen of En-
gland more than fifty years ago, she
was fair and young, with very blue
eyes, whereupon blue eyes became all
the fashion, and all the loyal doll
makers of her kingdom began sending
blue-eyed dolls from their factories.
In Italy and Spain, where all the
great beauties have olive skins and
dark handsome eyes, a blonde doll is
not a common sight Japanese dolls
have twinkling beady black eyes set
in their heads aslant, while the gayly
dressed dolly from Singapore looks
from her copper-colored face with a
pair of coquettish black eyes, quite
different in expression from either the
Spanish or Chinese beauties.
The making of dolls eyes seems a
funny trade, and yet there are many
thousands of dollars spent in this one
item of doll-making every year.
Dolls are so perfectly made and seem
so individual in themselves that it is
hard to realize that each one passes
through as many as five or six hands
before she comes into possession of all
her members.
There are head Makers arm and leg
makers, wig makers, eye makers,
body cutters, sewers and stuffers-not
to mention dressmakers and milliners
who never sew stitch for living per-
son, but spend all their skill upon de-
signing and making doll dresses and
headgear
When dolly has any vocal or other
accomplishments, of course other work.
men have hand in her makeup. If
she calls mamma and papa" and
recites Little Boy Blue" as many do,
special and delicate bit of machinery
goes in within the stufhng, and the dolly
that has speeches or songs shut up
within her bosom bears a very decided
likeness to real baby, and, indeed, in
at least two respects the doll has the
advantage-she never speaks unless
she is hidden, and she can be depended
upon to say the correct thing, which is
scarcely true of most babies we have
met.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

THE SOLDIERS OF THE SUN.

Along the margin of the world
They march with their bright banners
furled,
Until, in line of battle drawn,
They reach the boundaries of dawn.
They cross the seas and rivers deep,
They climb the mountains high and steep,
And hurry on until in sight
OF their black enemy-the night
Then madly rush into the fray
These armies of the night and day
Swiftly the shining arrows go,
While bugling winds their warnings blow.
Strive as he will, the night is pressed
Farther and farther down the west
With golden spear and cleaning lance
The cohorts OF the day advance.
Thus, daily, is the battle won
BY the brave soldiers of the sun.
