AN ISLAND SCHOOL.
Only One of the Kind-Daisy Doud Will
Direct Affairs.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-Mis
Daisy Doud will soon occupy a unique
position in the educational world. She
has been appointed school teacher for
the Farralone islands, and will have ten
children, the offspring of the lighthouse
keepers, in her charge. The Farralones
have been put on the map as part of
the First ward of San Francisco, al
though thirty miles out at sea, and tn
lighthouse keepers have always voted
here. But when it came to question Of
a school the board of education has al
ways fought shy and the children of the
island have had to depend upon the
instruction of an occasional teacher
lured to their dreary home by the small
salary the lighthouse keepers were able
to contribute. Now, however, the teach
er will be paid by the board of education
and school will keep all the year round.

POLITICS IN PENNSYLVANIA
Bitter Contest for Cameron's Seat 10 the
Senate
John Wanamaker Objects to Patronage
Distribution by the Men Who Op-
posed McKinley's Nomination

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-John
Wanamaker, who is opposing Boise Pen
rose for the seat in the United States
senate. now occupied by Mr.. Cameron,
was interviewed tonight on the situation
Of the campaign, which is one of the
bitterest known to Pennsylvania politics.
He began with a statement that if the
next four years do not give good times to
the United States the new century will
usher in changes that will be severely
felt in the most remote corner of the
world. Pennsylvania responsibility
in the administration of national affairs
is thrown upon her congressman and two
senators. The terms of these senators
other during President McKinley's ad-
ministration, and as the time approaches
to fill the next vacancy, some of those
who labored incessantiy to defeat the
nomination of Mckinley and carried the
vote of Pennsylvania in the convention
against him are assuming to dispense
the federal patronage in advance of his
Inauguration, in order to influence the
votes of the members of the legislature.
Mr.. Wanamaker spoke in strong terms,
saying: THE old commonwealth is dis
honored by the claim that one man owns
one hundred and fifty votes out of the
two hundred and fifty chosen men COM
posing the legislature not yet assembled"
and adds that lone bobss had defiantly
taken the state by the throat and die
tated his own terms.
Concerning national issues he said he
favored tariff high enough to remun-
crate manufacturers so they may be
able to keep employees going the full week
week at good wages and to exclude ev-
erything we can grow or make in this
country. He advocated greatly re-
strictedimmigrationl law and asserted his
unalterable opospition to any tampering
with the monetary system which would
tend to destroy the nations credit or de-
preciate the coin.

200 eAHs OF TRAVEL.
Tho General Passenger Agents and Their
Services to tho Public,

oCAsiSSS W Ihc
General passenger agents know what
1t costs to go anywhere, remain there
any length Of time and come back by an
other route. They are, in short, the Pooh
Bahs of the realm of travel Without
them the average human being with
burning desire to go somewhere would
be as blind man in crowded, unfa-
miliar thoroughfare, as ship without
rudder or bird of passage deprived
of one of its wings. Think of world
without the ever present folder" and
its impartial, never overdrawn claims
of superiority for the line to which it
owes its existence Life in it would in
deed be without sufficient compensation.
The art of advertising was an unknown
quantity until the general passenger
agent came upon the scene and with his
magic wand transformed dull nothings
into bright, realistic something's. To
him the steepest grade and the sharpest
curve are of little consequence. Grades
and curves and distances that have de-
led the skill Of superior and engineer
disappear before the morning sunlight.
Under his manipulation ponds become
lakes, hills grow to be mountains, or owes
expand into forests, rills swell into riv-
ors, and all that has been thought un-
interesting. or worse, suddenly bursts
upon the world as thing of beauty
and JOY forever"
Seriously the travelling public owes
much, very much. to the general pas.
senger agent Not only has he brought
to notice and to popularity innume1able
deserving localities that otherwise
would have "blushed unseen" but he
has mado it possible to visit these, as we'll
as others longer and better known, with
an expenditure of time and exertion and
expense insignificant in its proportions
when compared with that of years gone
by. He is over watchful of the needs
and whims and eccentricities of travel
els and quick TO provide for their every
requirement. He is an intermediary be.
tween the traveller and the railway or
steamship company, ever ready to servo

proper obligation. In tho early days of
coming and going by rail and steamer
he was not known. Now he is one of
the most important factors'in tho whole
