men for the same amount OF work. But
the Ianttor is little less glaring than APP
pears at first sight The teacher, at the
beginning OF her service, receives $500 for
ten months service; that is to say, $40 a
month. She works from 9 till 4, with an
hours intermission and holiday on Sat
urday, which makes her working hours
rate OF compensation about 80 cents per
hour. The elevator boy, at the beginning
OF his service, receives 5000 for twelve
months Service. for he doesn't have any
vacation to speak of; that is, he gets $50
per month. He works usually from 8 till
6, ten hours each day, except Sunday.
This makes his rate of compensation lit
tie less than 20 cents per hour, so it will
be seen that the teachers pay is half as
much again for the time she works as the
elevator boys
OF course, it may be said the teacher is
often Obliged TO take home work, and, as a
matter of fact, nearly every teacher does
havet spend her evenings correcting exer-
ciseS and making out reports. Buteyen this
does not add more than two or three hours
TO the working day, and this time is more
or less under her own control. 1t may
also be said that the work of teaching
young children is more important than
any mere physical labor can be. But
the janitor of building has certain re-
sponsibility as TO the life and safety of
the occupants which the teacher does not
have. This responsibility may Sit lightly
ON his shoulders; but, after all, if tie pay
were reduced very materially nobody could
be found to take these positions of janitors
and elevator boys, while there are hun
bred waiting young women for every vacant
OF supply and demand comes in here, and
this it is which fixes prices, irrespective
OF any ethical considerations whatever.
We cannot afford to have janitors who Will
be careless about the fires, and Will let
burglars come in at night, and will not
keep our buildings in a sanitary con-
dition, and we can afford to have our
children taught by a lady who is willing
to teach them for $500 year. That is
the whole story. 1t is matter of collars
and cents.

Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees,.

In the death OF the Hon. Daniel w.
Voorhees,, prominent figure in the po-
htical history of the nation for more than
o generation passes away.
Mi Voorhees, was born in Ohio, in 1927,
but was taken by his parents to Indiana
while vet an infant. He entered the pro
'fessfon Of law in s51, and in 1913 was APP
pointed United States district attorney
for the State While holding that position
he first became known, nationally, in
consequence of his brilliant defense Of
John T. Cook, the chief lieutenant of John
Brown. in the Harper's Ferry raid Cook
was a brother-in-law Of Mr.. Voorhees,
friend, willard. then governor of Indiana
In SCI ne was elected to the Congress,
aud was a member OF the Thirty
Thirty eighth, Thirt y-ainth. Forty-first and
Forty-second Con crosses. He was appointed
q Senator from Indiana in 1877 to fill a
member OF that body until the expiration
OF his last term on the Sd of March last.
As a member Of the Senate Committee on
Finance from his first entrance into the
Senate. ne was a strong advocate and
champion OF American bimetalllsm. and as
chairman of the committee reported the
bill repeating the purchasing clause of the
sherman act
Although definitely retired from political
life. Mr. voorhees, will be missed by a
vast circle Of acquaintance in Washing
ton, to whom his presence has been IA
mliar aud who have admired his excellent
qualities and great public services for
over thirty-fiye years. Peace to his ashesl

Fighting at Last.

Hostilities were in progress yesterday on
the Greek frontier Early in the morning
a force Of about three Thousand men, sup
posed To beirreg ulars, crossed over from the
vicinity of Naiakassi, the northern terIni-
nus OF the Greek railway 70 the Gulf Of
volo, and attacked the Turks at Greyena,
fifteen miles north OF the boundary. Last
nights reports represented the Greeks as
having been able to hold large Turkish
force in check throughout the day. Less
definite news announces Turkish attacks
upon Greek outposts, but this may prove
unfounded.
The era witty OF the episode cannot yet
be measured. As likely as not the move
meut was unauthorized; still it may have
been inspired" The greatest fear ex-
lists in Europe that, whether authorized
or not. il may bring on war. 1t is too
early 10 indulge in predictions Judging
from the strategical value of the position
from Which the trouble started, the adj
vance has all the military appearance Of
a reconnaissance in force, but it may not

JERSEY DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL.
Bright Prospects for Winning Mu-
nicipal Elections Next Tuesday.

Jersey City, N. j., April o.. Leaders of
both parties in New Jersey admit that
there may be a complete turnover
throughout the State at the city, town,
borough and village elections, which will
take place on Tuesday. Mayors are to
be chosen in Jersey City, Newark, Pater-
son, East Newark. Glen Ridge, Walls
burg and a few other smaller places,
while in others councilmen, town COM
mitteemen and minor officers are to be
chosen.
The presentiment is a t present in favor
of the Democrats, but this is attributed
more to local influences than to any
sympathetic affection resulting from sim
liar elections in other parts of the country
In most Of the municipalities for three or
four years there has been alarge Republican
majority in control, and the polIcy adopted
nj its consequences have affected the
pockets of the taxpa yers to such an extent
that the citizens, regardless of politics,
are up in arms in most places against the
dominant administration Then, the record
OF the legislature, whose session is just
ended, has oecasioned much wrath es-
pecially in Jersey City and Newark, where
the local Republican politicians sought
to extend the terms OF offieehOldeTs, fear
ing to go before the public and ask for its
votes

MR.. EVANS. ASSISTANT.
Ex-Representative Poole Wants to BE
First Deputy.

Senator T. g. Platt and Representative
Sherman today called at the Pension
Office and had conference with Com
missioner Evans in behalf of ex-Repre-
sentative Poole, of the Syracuse district,
who is an applicant for first deputy COM
missioner of pensions, to succeed Mr.. Dana.
Senator PIatt and Representative Sher-
man laid the claims of Major Poole before
Commissioner Evans, and asked that he
give them his earliest consideration. This
Mr.. Evans promised to do.
Major Poole originally made application
for the COmmissionership OF Pensions, and
was Endorsed by many prominent and in
fluentia Republicans in New York. When
his friends presented his claim to the
President, they were politely Informed
that the place would be given to Mr..
Evans. Seeing the handwriting on the
wall, Major Poole Immediately had his
friends 'shift their brush - and they
then started out to secure the first deputy
ship.
1t is not directly within the province
of Commissioner Evans to say who shall
be his assistant. as the President makes
the appointment, but the recommendation
of the Penson Commissioner usually stands.
The office of first deputy pays $4,000
per annufn, and, on the whole, is quite
desirable place. There are about twenty
applicants for the position this year,
and in all probability no appointment
will be made soon.

Pacification by Componte.

The duties and responsibilities Of the
mainly continue TO pile up. Havana re-
ports bring Us the maddening details Of
the process by which the Spaniards have
.-pacified' the incpient revolution on the
island Of Porto Rico We are informed
that at the towns Of Yaquo and Adjuntas
more than one hundred prisoners and sus-
poets have been tortured and finally muir
dered by the process known as com
ponte .
This : the same torture used on the I'M
fortunate American dentist, DR.. Ricardo
Ruiz 1t is a simple but effective method
of producing prolonged, excruciating and
uuutteraile agony. The victim is strapped
hand and foot and beaten with an iron
rod, care being at first taken to strike
portions of the body susceptible Of intense
pain. without endangering life or producing
quick unconsciorsness. The pun khnent is
carried ON until Inconsistencies does come,
and then the victim is left 10 recover. A
high fever ensues, and the suffering on re-
gaining consciousness, hands and feet stin
bound together, is something too frightful
for conception. If il is intended TO finish
the job quickly, no water is above TO the
doomed creature. If the torture is to be
prolonged little water is given But after
o day or two the operation is repeated,
and then no more water. Usually it takes
about three applications OF the com
