tipple Of John DaVitt was wrecked in q
few minutes. From there the crowd
made q break for a new tipplO being
erected by John McIntyre about a mile
above. A halt was made for some little
time until the mob could be gathered
and them the Mcintyre tipplO shared the
same fate as the Davitt. These slaCk
piles had not been made use Of for
years until now.
The city was half deserted yesterday
afternoon by the departure Of a mob Of
1000 st rikers to Camden, three miles
south Of here Their mission was said
to be the destruction Of coal tipples, TO
enlist the striking miners in their
cause.
Captain Mcintyre narrowly escaped
lynChing st the hands Of the mob which
destroyed the Portvus tipple. He tried
TO check the progress Of the mob at the
point OF q revolver, but the mob made q
rush for him and would have lynched
him IL 1t had not been for some friends
who rescued him.
The strikers have three cannon, two
OF which were used by the Homestead
strikers two years ago and the other
from Duquesne, planted IN q command
ing position on the river bank about 200
yards apart and manned by eight men
each. It is definitely known that at
least one gun is heavily loaded with rail-
road iron.
The tipple destroyed at Portvue were
valued at $1,000.

Those who have looked for q settle
ment OF the labor troubles have spent
another week looking in vain. On mum.
erous occasions during the week, idle
miners and mechanics have come in con-
Aict with the officers in different locAli-
ties. The following items from the press
reports give q general view Of the aitua-
tion:
FIVE THOUSAND STRIKERS.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, June 8--To- day
noon Governor McCorkle received tele-
gram from the sheriff Of Marshall
county stating 200 strikers had taken
possession Of q Baltimore & Ohio train
at Bogg's Run, near Wheeling, and
asked for troops. The dispatch stated
that the men had refused TO surrender
the train, declaring they would hold II
In spite OF the sheriff or military. The
message also stated that the number Of
miners about the train were constantly
increasing. The governor ordered five
companies to the scene and they reached
there tonight. There is q very bitter
feeling against the railroads among the
thousand Of strikers, who by means Of
the bridge at Benwood, three miles below
here, will join the strikers in West Vir-
ginia. There are said to be 5000 strik-
ers within ten miles Of Bogg's Run.
Governor McCorkle at 10 p. m. re-
ceived q dispatch from OK. Governor
Fleming at Fsirmont, and G. X. Lord,
second ice-president of the Baltimore
& Ohio, stating the strikers at BOgg's
Run had completely blocked the line
and all traffic was suspended; that the
rioters were going up the line towards
FRlrmont and thaE only prompt action
would prevent serious trouble.
The governor ordered six more COM
psnles Of military to proceed to Bogg's
Run. He took this action IN view Of the
fact that the Ohio troops now at Bel
lsire will probably force the strikers into
West Virginia, where they can accom-
plish as much mischief as on the other
side Of the river.

the convention grsciously heard an ad-
dress by Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, OF Mssss-
chusetts, president Of the WomRn's Me-
tional Republican League. This was
probably intended as means OF helping
the suffrage cause, but il so it failed, for
Mrs. Foster simply and elOqusntly de-
clared her allegiance to the republican
party, showing that her love for the suf-
frRgs cause was a secondary matter. The
same cannot be said Of many Of the re.
publican women who were present. Mrs.
Laura Johns read q memorial to the
convention bearing a large number Of
names from forty.two counties in the
state, asking for q suffrage declaration.
It was all in vain.
TWO NOMINATIONS.
The third session began at s p. M,
Tuesday. The reports Of three COM
mittees were heard and adopted with
out any trouble, but the resolutions
committee were absent. They were
wrestling with q platform, contriving q
way to produce as many plRnks as posi-
BILE with as little meaning as possible,
In this they were quite successful,
though they did not report till the
morning session Of the second day. The
convention was anxious to execute the
work that had been laid out, 30 they did
not wait for resolutions, but proceeded
with nominations Wednesday night.
w. A. Johnston, present associate JUS
tics Of the supreme court, was renomi-
mated for that Office without any oppOsi-
tion.
For governor there were only two can
didRtes, George w. Martin and E. N.
Morrill,, E. W. HOoh having withheld
his name. On the first ballot Morrill,
received III votes and Martin 100 out Of
the total 1914 delegates. Morrill, had all
but twenty-five counties solid. After q
short address by Mr.. Morrill, the convsn.
tion adjourned.
SECOND DAY.
Thursday morning q state central
committee consisting Of q member from
each judicial district was elected, and
then the resolution committee reported
a platform, which was adopted without
discussion. Attention was again turned
to the business Of nominating.
For lieutenant governor there were
five candidates: J. W. Moore, D. N.

THE NEW KING. I OF. SIAM.

: The names Of the Kings and Princes of
Siam are so numerous and sound so nm
couth to cur ears that it is. difficnltt to bear
them in mind. The official name of the
monarch who has justdied was Chnlaiong-
korn; that of his son. who was Crown.
Prince and is now King, is Najorunhis. -
Chulal0ngkOrn, who succeeded to the
throne in 1868, when he was Is years of
age, was brought up by an American lady,
Mrs. LeonoWens, who has written several
works on Siam. She always spoke of her
pupil as a bright gentle, interesting youth,
OF whom much might: be expected. He
fulfilled her predictions to the extent that
his twenty.six years reign have been
peaceable and conducive to the growth
and prosperity OF his kingdom. He de-
ferred 10 popular custom by taking some
three hundred wives and becoming The
father of eighty odd children; also by
keeping the taxes within ten millions q
year, which is not an expensive burden for
100000 people occupying a fertile coun-
try. He was as absolute monarch as
any Asfatic pOtentate, but he does not
seem to have been cruel or to have dealt
unfairly with foreigners. Indeed, of late
years he courted foreign alliances in order
to head off the entertainments OF the French
upon his eastern provinces, ana welcomed
such foreign improvements as railroads,
teIegraphs, streetcar lines and electric
lights.
The new sovereign will probably be
chiefly heard of in connection with the
French projects Of territorial aggrandize-
ment in the southeastern corner OF Asia
When the French first invaded TonQuin
their purpose was to make 1t basis for
operations against Southern China. Find
ing the Chinese nut too hard to crack they
turned upon Siam on their west flank.
There they found prosperous country,
somewhat larger than Texas. with ca
pacity for growing rice. cotton, tobacco,
coffee and cattle, and with vast forests of
teakwood. The French soon found pre-
text for assailing Siam. They invaded the
country in 1892 and only laid down their
arms when Siam assented in 1898 to a
treaty which made the Mekong River the
boundary line between the Orientals and
the European intruders. This convention
split the peninsula in two. giving the east
ern half 10 France. 1t is assumed in Dip
lomatic circles that at the next convenient
opportunity the French will cross the
Mekong. and will strike across toward the
hill country back Of Bangkok.
Meanwhile Siam is being pressed on the
west by the Burmese, who are rapidly be-
coming British, and by the Shan tribes of

TO TEACH TEACHERS.

Auditor Broderick and majority ofthe
Board of Education have manifested
somewhat active difference of opinion as to
the legality of employing teachers to teach
teachers. The Board OF Education takes
the affirmative, the Auditor the negative
There are but two teachers of teachers
whose salary demands are >jeopardized by
the clash of authorities, but if the board
wins there may soon be more Teaching
teachers at these times at the salary teach
ers receive is an occupation in which NEST
teachers would like to engages Two ques-
tions arise in the noD-professional mind
as to the value of such service as teachers
of teachers are suppO sed to render. First,
will teacher of new methods do more
good than harm in directing teachers into
new ways of impaTting knowledge; sec
ond is it not the duty OF teachers to keep
up in their professions ?? Members of
other professions grow in knowledge and
tact with experience. The lawyer or doc
tor who knows everything when he peck
cts his diploma. and learns nothing after
ward, drops outof practice. We see them
every day on the streets. and most of them
entertain the opinion that The times are

have run through the sieve. 1t may have
been lack of ability. it may have been lack
of industry and il may have been lack of
mental balance. But the fact of dropping
out is the factor Of the problem of
which there Is no doubt Now it is
quite within the province Of the Board
OF Education to require teachers to
keep up with the gen eraT march of I'M
Every fad that is projected into the schools
is not Improvement. but still there is an
onward march,. Many things are done
now IN better fashion than was in vogue
forty years ago andteachers should qualify
themselves to sift the good from the bad.
Schoolteachers have moro leisure than
any other class Of workers. They have
ten weeks of vacation each year in which
salaries continue and one workday in
each week. Their classes are dismissed
In the middle of the afternoon and there
are principals for each of the larger
schools who supervise but do,notlteach. 1t
would seem that with all these oppor-
tunities teachers who have once been
qualified to teach should maintain the
standard of their qualification without the
employment of special teacher to keep
them abreast with the times.
The fight in all the principal American
cities is to keep school boards on their
feet Most of them want to fly. They
mount theories and ride them to death.
They think more Of sending one hundred
graduates into the university than of fit
ting 10000 children to meet the or
binary conditions of life. Five-sixths of
our children drop out of school at the
highest primary grade, yet it is the one
sixth who 90 on who are smothered with
sweetmeats. For them there must be
high priced special teachers, teachers of
teachers, many OF whom teach nothing
that ought to be taught in public school.

A BRITISH JOKE.

The English House of Lords worked
itself into fine frenzy over what is known
as the evicted tenants bill The title of
the bill implies that some restriction was
placed by it on the legal right of a land
lord to turn tenant into the street when,
for one reason or another, he fails to pay
his rent. The temper displayed: by the
House of Lords was injudicous. Such
devotion to their own interests may re-
mind the people Of Great Britain that the
service of legislators can hardly be con-
sidered gratultous when the power to make
laws in their own class-interests is the.
form of compensation allowed. The
