Mime. Casimir-Perier,s Crusade.

Nine. Casimir- Perier, wife of the
president of France, has organized a
crusade against the use CT birds breasts
and wings for decorative purposes, and
q movement thus authorized is likely to
be attended with success. If Paris gives
the word, of course England and Amer
lea will abandon this barbarous custom;
otherwise we, too, may find a plague
descending upon US, rivaling those Of
Egypt, from the multiplication of in
sects.

many interesting facts about the
Southern country and 1t should be read

to S9l1,oS9,Oi5 In 1890, a gain of 100 per
cent, against un increase of only 69.27

portant Scheme in View.
Principals Of Scranton schools held
their regular monthly session yesterday
afternoon in the board of control rooms,
and Superintendent George w. Phillips
presided. The teachers meet on the
first Monday Of each month and dis
cuss school reforms and school matters
In general
The most important subject discussed
was the preparing of statistics of the
number Of pupils attending school in
each ward. Superintendent Phillips
intends to compile figures which will
show the actual attendance, and in this
way 1t can be seen whether in districts
where child labor is employed the at
tendance Is below that Of residential
districts.
Another intention is to publish the
correct number of days each pupil at
tends school in the year and not the
average percentage Of attendance. Mr..
Phillips intends, with the cooperation
Of the principals to be able to furnish
interesting figures for the perusal of
those Interested in school work.
The teachers remained afterward and
discussed, in an informal way, the
salary agitation that has been started.
The time is approaching to take action
as the time Of re-engaging the teachers
and fixing their salaries for another
term will be- soon at hand

so he retired. In the morning he
found her lying on her back in bed,
every muscle fearfully contracted and
her eyes fixed on the ceiling. Physi-

and it appeared to be complete. Not a
word would she speak. Last night her
muscles relaxed somewhat, but her
vocal organs are still powerless The
belief Is that she will never be able to
speak again.

He and her brother had been compan-
ions, and when Ormond was wounded
the captain nursed him faithfully. By
n strange misfortune Clark was serious
ly hurt while in Boston and his devoted
nurse was Nellie Ormond. After his
convalescene they were engaged. The
captain came to San Francisco and en-
tered the service of the Alaska Com
mercial company. and it was arranged
that he should marry the girl on his re-
turn from the trip. which, as fate willed
It, cost him his life. CAPTAIN Clark's
companions often heard him speak of
his fiancee, and his business associates
heard him say, time and again, that he
wanted all his money to go to her If
anything should happen to him, but as
he died without making will, and as
none of his relatives can be found, his
estate, which amounts to about $4,000
will go to the state.
