were present daily a large number of
visitors from neighboring towns,

equal part and interest in the work
with the teachers.
The instructors Of the institute

Occur d'Alene school, Prof. Brady
principal pf the Rathdrum school, and
Prof. Creekmur, principal of the Post
Falls school, were Mr.. Turner's able
assistants. Their work was thorough,
and SO far as we could learn most SAT-
lsfactOry to all.
During the hour allotted to miscel-
laneous work at the Institute sonre
formal papers were read, among which
may be mentioned, one by Lydia A..
Irons OF Athol, whose subject was
Humane Education," which was an
exhaustive paper treating on kindness
to animals: one by Mrs. L. S. Dart of
Post Falls, on "Methods," ancient

Gus and spicy; Prof. w. S. Walker Of
district 5, read paper on the subject
OF Botany" The latter made a
systematic attempt to show the prac-
llcal possibility OF putting botany in
10 the public school course.

to gain admittance to the hall. Dur
ing the evening Miss Stratton Of Spo-

numbering over two hundred, were

supper with irst-class music in at
tendance. This also was very pop

ing was continued until 2:3O a. m.
This event will be remembered as the
most pleasant and enjoyable that has

storm in the memory Of the present
generation a. severe a. the one pre-
yailing throughout the South. Atlanta
has had snow since early morning, and
the ground on four inches Of frozen
ground. The trolley systems are par
alyzed and practically no business is
being transacted. The streets are given
over to improyi~ed sleighs, and merry
snow balIing parties enjoy the unac-
cu-foiDed sport.

| At Darien, on the coast, the people
awoke this morning to find the ground
covered with sneW four inches deep.
| This is the first time in the history of
this ancient town that such thing
has happened. Twenty years ago there
was fall of snow, but it vas gone in
two hours. There has never been such
a severe spell of weather as has been
| experienced for the last few weeks.

tables are killed. At ThOmasyille. the

three-inch fall Of snow last night and
sleigh bells are ringing in the streets
for the first time in the history of the
city.
At Quitman the first snow that has
fallen since 1876 covers the ground.

The Special Legislative Committee Inves.
tigating It--Alleged Violation of the Ten
Hour Law.

BROOKLYN, y. y, Feb. 18th, leg
islatiye committee appointed to inves-
tigate the causes of the trolley rail-
road strike, began its labors here to-
day. Nj. j. Connolly, the manager of
the strike, stated the ease for the Oper-
atives. lie alleged that the principal
cause of the difficulties was that the
companies had failed to put into prac-
bee what Is known as the ten-hour
law, the men being required to work
over ten hours Il day, and in some in
stances az long as Ii hours and 20 t.
10 minutes, while the law specified that
they should be required to work but 10
hours within II consecutive hours.
Mr.. Connolly said that he did not
consider that the employees had struck,
but that the situation had been forced
upon them by the action of the COM
panies in the locking ont of between
200 and 800 of the electrical workmen,
upon their refusal to take the places OF
the motormen and conductors. An
other cause, Mr.. Conneny said. was
that the companies wished to increase
the number of trippers, paying by the
trip, whereby the men would be
obliged to be in attendance from If TO
ID hours day, and would be unable to
earn more than 80 to 50 cents day.
Mr.. Connolly said that the number
of trips and the speed had been in
creased, and that there was more re-
sponsibility attached to the work of
motormen. JIe had never been re-
quired to make up lost time, but he
knew of other, mOtormen who had
been. The reason the companies had
given for refusal to comply with their
demands was that they could not al
ford it.
Daniel F. Lewis, president of the
Brooklyn Heights railroad company
was also a witness. His company now
operates all the lines of the Brooklyn
City company. He said that the con-
tract made in 1856 with the men did
not materially limit the power of the
company. In 1856 some trouble arose
over an increase of wages. or q
decrease in power, which cost
the company $225,O00, and caused
the dividends to fall from Is to ii. The
roads were tied up for Il day in June
1886, and again when he was elected
president. In 1887 the men agreed, he
declared, to work II hours a day. The
10 hour law came into effect in ISIS!
and the men then agreed to work fol-
ten hours day, not including meal
time. The terms were asked in the
1895 proposal. He said that when the
men talked about counting the standard
time in days work he told them il
would cause trouble.

THE ATLANTIC COAST LINE
Becomes the Owner of the Charleston

Becomes the Owner of the Charleston,
Sumter and Northern Railroad.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Feb. 15.-Special
Master James f. HagoOd today sold
at public auction all the property of
the Charleston. Sumter and Northern
railroad. 1t was knocked down to Pres
ident w. f, Elliott, of the Wilmington,
Columbia and Augusta railroad for
$450O00
The Atlantic Coast Line system is
the real owner. The road went into
the hands Os receiver some years
ago, and probably would have remain
ed in that condition for some time to
come had not the Atlantic Coast Line
quietly secured a large amount of Sc
curities of the company, and then
President Elliott of the Wilmington
and Weldon division went before the
United States court and asked to have
t he property sold.
There has been a good deal of talk
regarding the use that the Atlantic
Coast Line will make of the property
One of the leading officials of the sys-
| ten, stated to-day that the road would
be used merely as a feeder to the Coast
Line, and that there was no intention
on the part of the purchasers to con-
vert it into shorter route to the South
and Southwest, and to side-track
Charleston from the main line system
Many people, however, fear this may
| yet come to pass.

Popular Topics Of the Day.

Honolulu has as many machin-
lists considering the population as
any place we know Of - and
they re good machinists too, men
who can take a steel rod and with
the assistance of a lathe fashion it
into parts for the most intricate
machinery for an engine. To do
this, of course, requires q know
ledge of tools as well as the hand
ling of them.
In our store room one depart
ment contains the most complete
assortment of machinists, tools in
the city. Look at them and you
will find they are all of first
quality (the price will give you
the impression that they are
thirds) every one of them shining
like an Africans heel. The as
sortment consists of hammers-all
sizes and shapes from the cute
little one used by the jewellers to
the heavy one which the boiler
maker uses in riveting the steel
plates together. Then we have
the Handy Pipe Wrench, new
device without a fault. This tool
will be found a convenient one even
in the house where none of the
occupants are machinists. Hand
vises for machinists can be had
of us in every size manufactured,
so can Pipe Vises and Cold
Chisels. We have every thing
used by metal workers in their
trade.
Then we have a stock of car
penters wood working tools
second to none in the city-frst
only in quality. You cannot
call for a tool used by a carpenter
that we do not have in stock.
Another thing you may be in er-
ested in is an axe that will hold
its edge-a new thing in axes and
something every one needs about
the house.
Bird cages have been mention
ed in another paper; just here we
will say that the stock we carry
is complete.
