There is increasing interest OBJ

over industr ial education. A grow
ing belief is noted in the province
OF the state to provide such educa-
ton for the children. The governor
Of Pennsylvania in a recent inau-
gural cites attention to this sub
ject, expressing the hope that be-
fore very long the state will make
Such provision for practical edu-
cation that every child in the
state will be fitted for some prac-
tical life by state instruction in
the same manner as they are now
fitted intellectually in the public
schools. Practical education is the
only solution OF the questions that
are involved in all labor circles
These questions are: how TO pre-
vent the idea OF the responsibility
OF labor dying out; and how to
maintain such wages for labor as
will insure to that labor it's oppor.

Snaps Shots, in Galveston News,
says the very best medicine that a

his doctor. This is just what ails
the country today. The Democratic
physician who has so recently been
prescribing for the sick industries
and finances OF the country has
lost the confidence OF the people,
who served written and attested
notice on him last November that
he was not competent to doctor a
"yaller dog" Whether the new

To call that ticket ostensibly put
out at convention, but really put
out in private den, after the con-
vention had failed to materialize,
to call that ticket a Republican
ticket is libel on the name. The

thing on the sneak. Its work is
open and above board. There is
scarcely single name on that
ticket that knows any thing about
that so-Called nomination and
those who put it out should have
been better posted as to who were

Gratis. The ears stick out too plain

he Is an American to the backbone. He is
a statesman whose record is clean on every

Death of Frederick Douglass.

Frederick Douglass, eX-slave orator, d.
plomat, and able champion and exponent
of the rights and possibilities of his race,
died suddenly Wednesday evening at his
home at Anacostia, a suburb of the ma
tional capital. During the day he had been
in Washington to attend the session of the
Womans national council and fell dead
while giving an animated account of what
he had seen there. Mr. Douglass was born
on the eastern shore of Maryland, in the
Tuckaho district, a region noted for its
sterility and the wretchedness and sloven-
illness of its negro inhabitants. The date
of his birth was not known, but it was
probably in 1877. His mother was black
woman. His fathers name he never knew,
but he was a white man, and probably
man of prominence in that locality. The
slave boys owner was Col. Edward Lloyd.
At the age of ten he was "lent' TO a family
in Baltimore, where he managed to learn TO
read. In ISIS he fled from bondage, reach
ing New York and going from there to
New Bedford, Mass, where he found work
His appearance as a speaker at an anti
slavery meeting in Nantucket attracted
public attention, and he afterward travelled
and lectured through the New England
states. In lSij he went to England, and
while there money was raised by his friends
to have him manumitted in due form of law.
Returning to this country after two years
he began the publication at Rochester, y.
Y, of "Frederick Douglass's Paper al
terward called the North Star, and from
this on he became known as one of the
ablest orators and most active workers in
the anti-savery cause Many thousands
of men and women will recall his rare
power as a public speaker.
Mr. Douglass was given public appoint
ments by President Grant, and in 1872 he
was elected presidential elector-at-large for
the state of New York, and was appointed
to carry the electoral vote of the state to
Washington. In 1876 he was appointed
United States marshal for the District OF
Columbia. After this he became recorder
of deeds for the District of Columbia, from
which office he was removed by President
Cleveland in 1856. In 1889 President Har-
rison appointed him minister to Hayti.
Mr. DOuglass's first wife was a woman of
his own race who had also escaped from
slavery. by her he had children who grew
up to be useful citizens and are still living.
He had large group of grandchildren and
great-grandchildren A few years ago, at
the age of 10, Mr.. Douglass married Miss
Helen NJ. Pitts, a white woman of 30, of
good family and education, who had been a
clerk in the United States marshafs Office in
Washington. The marriage was opposed
by the children of Mr.. Douglass, as well as
by the friends of Miss Pitts, but opposi-
ton on account of it soon subsidized.
The body of Mr., Douglass will be buried
in Rochester, Y. Y, where he lived so
long in middle life, and where two daugh-
tiers are buried. His sons will have the
body of their mother, now lying in GEM
etery in Washington, disnterred and taken
to Rochester for burial at the same time.

A ao-Yenr-oid pilot Girl.

Among the exceptionally gifted girls,
surely, is Miss Elizabeth Polhemus OF san
Deigo. Calf. a 2O-year-old lass, who wish
ing to earn her own living, and having
fondness for the sea, has been qualifying
herself as a pilot for ocean vessels entering
San Deigo harbor. In eight months she
expects to pass the examination required
by the state board of pilot commissioners
and receive her certificate as a tirst-cass
pilot Miss Polhemus is the only woman
in the country, so old sea captains say,
who now attempts to guide great ships into
a harbor. Until she receives pilots GER
tificate, Miss Polhemus guides the vessels
under the eye of a veteran pilot, who stands
beside her on the quarter deck. This,
however, is a matter of form, as insurance
companies demand a certified pilot, and the
old pilot accompanies the girl simply to
comply with the rules. So thorough is the
young womans knowledge of handling a
ship, and of the reefs, shoals, currents and
all currents of San Diego harbor, that the
old pilots who have instructed her in this
difficult work seldom have a word to say in
criticism of her management, and for six
months it has not been necessary to change
one of her orders when bringing ship in
to port. All her life this young woman
has lived by the sea. Her father is gal
liant old sea dog who fought for the flag,
and has sailed all seas as master of big
merchant ships, and now holds an import
ant harbor position at San Diego. She
has a kind of hereditary instinct for pilot
ing. When in her teens she could handle
an S0-foot schooner in a stiff breeze almost
as well as a veteran sailing master. The
old pilots are proud of their feminine pro-
tGgG. because of her marked skill. and also
because of her courage and GOODNESS in
emergencies which have called for a prompt
display of steady nerve. When Miss Pol
hemus gets her pilots certificate her fees
for bringing in a vessel will be - per foot
on the draught of vessel, and four cents
per ton. A 3000ton ship, drawing 20 feet,
would pay the pilot 1920.

A few days ago the little son of we'll
known physician was entertaining a play
mate at his fathers house. As children
will, they ransacked every nook and cor
ner of the building. Their curiosity led
them to explore the recesses of a closet in
which the doctor keeps his instruments and
other personal effects among which is a
complete skeleton The strange boy was
frightened when he first beheld the grin
ming remnant of what once had been a hui
man being and started to run away. The
doctors son, however, had seen the skele-
ton so often that he entertained for it only
that feeling of contempt begotten by famil-
iarity, and in a little while succeeded in so
alaying the fears of his companion that
the youngster began to handle the thing
and rattle its dry bones. "Where did your
father get it?'' he finally asked. Il don't
know, - was the reply; 'but l guess it was
his first patient, for he's had it an awful
long time. '-Butte Miner.
