Mrs. John a. Logan is again at home
after n long trip abroad. Last fall Mrs.
Logan took TO Europe on an extended trip
IA party OF young ladies' and acted as their
chaperon throughout the tour A few
days ago they returned, delighted with the
so:oGrn abroad, and having Travelled around
at least two thirds Of tho globe without a
single accident or delay. Mrs Logan is
looking In oxcellcnt health.
While abroad the party was present nc
the cars coronation, which was the most
unique and gorgeous spectacle of the ccn-
tury At all Of the capitals they were the
recipients of attentions from the officials
and tho courts OF foreign countries, and
while in Spain took in the aspect Of tho
country politically as we'll as socially.
Mrs. Logan says it Is her opinion that
Spain can never conquer Cuba; that the
finances of that country arc in deplorable
condition; the army but handful Of i'll
trained boys, whilc the industrial world is
at u standstill, even such famous factory
as that at Toledo, which IS world renowned
for its blades, turning out but 5000 in q
year.
Mrs. Logan will remain Mt her home I'm
Washington during the rest OF the summer

WARREN.
The Fire Reservoir Will Always Be Full
Hereafter-N0tes.

Chief Engineer Crawley OF the fire e.
pertment, In conjunction with the water
works people, did good thing last week.
The reservoir or cistern in front OF the
Baptist Church, which from time i'm
memorial has been supposed to be fully
equipped TO furnish several thousand gall
Ions of water In case OF fire in its VIC
Unity, has had its source of supply changed.
The cistern has several compart-
ments. Water from the cutters which
filtered from one compartment to another
was supposed to I'LL 1t, otherwise the hand
engines were called upon, and drawing
from we'll just below the railroad on
Market street pumped it full TO await
demand upon IL. Under the direction OF
Contractor Herbert Seymour, the past
week q connection was made with the
fouutain at the junction of Main and
miller streets, whereby the overflow will
now go into the cistern instead OF the
Miller street sewer. An outlet has been
made SO that when the cistern is full the
overflow will pass of into the Baker
street sewer. Consequently the reservoir
will constantly be full and ever ready In
case OF an emergency.
The tax book for the current year is
IN the hands OF the printer. 1t VIII be
ready for delivery in about week, some
thing like three weeks later than usual.
The rate is $40 on the $1,000, and the
amount to be collected Is relatively about
the same as last year, s35, 900. The heavi-
est assessment is against the Warren
Manufacturing Company, which, as last
year, is taxed for 100000. The Staples
Coal Company Of Taunton has purchased
the wharf property at the foot of Church
street and propose to erect there a first
class coal pocket.
The cross ties for the projected street
railway from Fall River to this Town,
which were delivered here early in the
summer, are still packed up on the wharf
at the foot OF Cnurch street.
The outlook for the scallop fishermen
this fall is not good. Local fishermen
and boatmen report that 1t is in evidence
that very few will be taken where up to
last year they were found in abundance.

HoRselEss CARRIAGE RACE.
A Track Event - Unique Character For
Prize Award of g., 900.


The Rhode Island State Fair Association
has announced as portion Of its track
programme Sept I'll n race and exhibition
feature that is strictly novelty in speed
contests. We have had horse racing, boat
races, foot races aud bicycle races and 9TH
er forms of speed competition. The latest
however, is a race and exhibition Of motor,
or horseless, carriages. Much has been
written about these new vehicles Of late
and interesting claims made In their O.
half. knowledge Of the public concern z
them, howevcr-their construction d
capabilities-isr rather vague. But from tho
manner in which the Rhode Island Fair
promoters are taking hold of the matter we
imagine that the race will afford much
clearer understanding of them. The race
is eliolting widespread interest. This
will be the FIRST genuine race Of this kind
held in New England, nnd visitors 10 tho
Rhode Island Fair will enjoy In this event
q rare treat II is estimated that score Of
borsclcss carriages will be contestants for
the O., 600 prize money offered by the Asso-
citation. This is n pretty handsome sum

An InfaIiibie Indication OF Death Said to
Have Been Discovered.

At last what seems an lnfallible indica-
tion of death has been discovered. Scores
of people have IA horror of being buried
alive, and there have been many attempts
made to discover some test aside from time
that will assure the friends that death has
really occurred and that the burial may
safely proceed. Heretofore none of these
tests has been absolute, and each has fail
ed signally.
DIR. G. l.. Barnes, a Chicago physician,
has recently been experimenting with X
rays, and he now announces that they
will determine positively whether real
death has occurred or whether the patient
is In a trance. DIR. Barnes made shadow

THE PACIFIC

The records of the California wine
importation shows that August has
been the largest month of the year
thus far and that sake still holds its
place at the head of the list, and for the
eight months ending, August 81, the
import of sake is some $4,000 gallons in
excess of the California wines for the
same period. Another feature will wor-
thy of note is the large excess OF wines
testing over Il per cent. The natural
inference must be that the strong wines
find the ready market while really
light wine is not sought after. Just
why there should be this sudden in
crease during the month of August we
are unable to state, but it is noticeable
that the fmportations OF gin and strong
liquors have increased in the same
proportion.

TRAINING OF TEACHERS.

No educational sign of the times is
more hopeful than the increasing inter-
est manifested in the training of teach
ers. A few years ago Prof. NJ. M. Scott,
under the Board of Education, organ
lied a class of teachers and those wish
ing to become teachers, to meet three
or four afternoons of each week for an
hours instruction, chiefly in the ele-
mentary branches, but partly in meth
DDS of teaching them. This was the
chief undertaking in the way of train
ing persons for the work OF teaching
till two years ago. Then the trustees
of the Kamehameha schools, at the in
stance of Principal Richards, decided to
organize regular normal departments
in the two schools to which older pu-
pills are admitted. These have been do
ing good work from that time to the
present, and will begin their third
years work under favorable conditions.
A year ago the Board of Education
decided to increase its interest in this
work, and accordingly employed J. L.
Dumas TO devote his whole time to 1t.
Quite a large number of young persons
worked under Mr.. Dumas during the
year, the number constantly increasing.
This year the Department of Public In
struction has provided for two teachers
to instruct the apprentice teachers, and
also for practice school of two rooms.
This combination they dignity by the
name of the Normal and Training
School.
While the Honolulu Normal and
Training school is inferior TO the in
situations of similar name abroad, es-
pecially in equipment, it has many and
great advantages in the way of prepar-
ing the teachers for our somewhat pc
culiar school work Not the least OF |
these is the fact that in the practice |
school the teachers under training will |
meet with the same difficulties that will |
confront them in the country schools, !
where most of them must expect to be-
gin their careers as actual teachers
In this work Hawaii is merely falling
into line with the educational progress
of the world. In a notable paper read
before the National Educational Asso-
citation of the United States a short
time ago, superintendent Sabin ex-
pressed the hope that ere long they
could, even in the rural districts, shut

The Australian colonies have con-
stantIy been the centers of labor trou-
bIes. labor experiments, and apparently
a paradise of labor unions. Labor prob
lens have been carefully studied, and
there has seemed to be among its pub
lie men more honest desire to get at the
root of the troubles between capital and
labor than in any other place In the
world. There the eight-hour day was
allowed and many other concessions
made to the workingmen, who for few
years were perfectly satisfied with the
success and kept quiet. Following the
strikes of 1890, 81 and "a, the Labor
party was formed, and has now gained
sufficient strength in Queensland to
elect one-fOurth of the members of the
Legislature. 1t now appears that the
eight-hour day and government con-
troleo railways, etc, is not sufficient.
The Labor party demands state con-
troll of the rate of wages, state pro-
vision for the unemployed, and free
transportation on the railways, which
shall be maintained by tax on land,
personal property and incomes. This,
of course, is socialism, pure and simple,
and the Labor party is honest enough
to admit it. The gains which this party
has made in the past adds a new inter
est to the more recent radical depart
ures which will attract attention among
the laboring classes outside the con-
fines of Queensland. 1t is also note
worthy as showing that the labOring
classes are not inclined to be satisfied
with their lot for any great length of
time. Whether the socialistic ideas
prove to be in the interest of national
progress remains to be seen.
