BARNEY BARNATo. D"AAA0SN ''A AA''''
has caused sensation in financial cir
cles. His Office here was besieged by
hundreds of eager enquirers and ever
then his firm had not received confrma
ton of the news.
Throgmorton street was filed with ex
cited crowds of brokers discussing new!
of Barnato s,death His self destruction
is generally supposed to be the outcome
of his recent illness at the Cape, which
according to rumors on the stock ex
change, was in the nature of brain trou
ble
The African market, as a result o1
Barnaso's death, was depressed.
The Pail Nall Gazette, commenting
on the death Of Barney Barnato, say
that he was mentally unweu for about
three months past and that he was u
der constant surveillance.
Did Not Cause Panic.
Although the stock exchange was ex-
cited by the news of Barnato's death,
there was no panic. The Barnabo com
panies were not allowed to fall much be
fore they found buyers. The opinion :
expressed that the death of the great
South African speculator cannot have
much effect on the market, as Barnato
has paid little attention to busine SIS re.
Gently.
Made His First Money in Diamonds.
Barnato was born in London. Little
is known as to his early life except that
he received his instruction from a
private tutor instead Of attending the
public schools. He was younger son
and at the age of 30 went to South
Africa, then much more savage terri.
tory than it is now, and scantily popu.
lated by Englishmen Or persons Of Eng
lish descent The Kimberly diamond
mines were just beginning to be pro-
ductive, and with his small capital
he began dealing in diamonds
on a very small scale. He
was very successful and socn
earned enough to purchase shares in the
mines from which his merchandise had
come Before another five years had
elapsed his holdings at Kimberly had
become very large, and when the Trans
vaal gold fields were discovered he had
profits to invest in them. In 1885 Bar
nato was money power in South At
RIGA and began to be spoken of as the
rival of Cecil Rhodes. The two men
started in to be hot opponents, but in
1888 concluded to combine their forces,
and the mines consolidated, with the
result of one of the most valuable pieces
of property Of the kind in the world.

is strong testimony. But it

No More Coolie Labor.

It is understood that any objection
that might have been expected to the
annexation of the islands based on the
large proportion of coolies in the popu-

not only prohibiting the further immi-

islands but also prohibiting the coming

Points of Difference.

The one point Of difference in which
the treaty differs from the convention
negotiated by Secretary Foster in Presi-
dent Harrison's administration is the
omission Of any provision for ex-Queen
Liliuokalani and the Princess Kaiulani.
In the original treaty it was provided
that the government of the United
States should pay the ex-queen the sum
of 800, 900 cash and the same amount of
money as pension each year during
the remainder of her natural life, pro-
vided she in good faith submitted to the
government of the United States and
the local government of the islands.
The Princess Kaiualani, being the next
in line Of royal blood, was to receive a
cash payment of $3.50, 900 but no pension,
under a similar provision as in the case
of the ex-dueen

AS TO COAL PRICES.
Likely to Range Somewhat
Higher Than Last Year.

The continuance Of the strike of the
soft coal miners has caused many to
wonder, sometimes with slight de-
gree of nervousness, what effect it will
have upon the price of coal and their
coal bills for the cold season which
will soon be upon US. While the
strike only directly affects soft coal,
that or something else seems to have
some sort of an effect upon hard coal
causing 1T to range somewhat higher
than at this season last year. In a
conversation with local coal dealers
the FREE PRESS learns that soft coal
is d hard article to obtain just at
present. You may get it, and then
you may not. If you can get il, the
price will range about rs cents per
ton higher than last year, and their
opinion is that it will not range much,
if any, above that amount through
the coming season. In fact one dealer
informed US that he would be willing
to contract on that basis for future
delivery. Local dealers do not look
for hard coal to range much, if any,
above the price of last winter, and in
event OF strike of the hard coal
miners do not think it will exceed $40
per ton. Last winter the highest
quotation was SO or 1926. ''The fact
is" said one dealer, 'coal is high
enough now, and there is not much pos
sibility of it's going higher. The com.
bine has put on about all the market
will bear, and an increase of even a
small per cent is likely to create a
break somewhere, and they know it,
And people will generally agree with
him that the price is high enough
now. However, it is likely to cost
more to warm large stores and office
buildings where soft coal is used, than
it did last winter. Those parties are
in luck who contracted for a sufficient
supply of wood a month or two ago.

WORKS WELL.

The new order Of doing business by
the city which was inaugurated at the
last meeting of the council is working
first rate. At that time, it will be re-
membered, the various departments
of the city government made a requisi-
tiOn on the council as to the amount
of funds they would need during the
two weeks intervening to the next
meeting. A detailed account of how
this is spent has to be kept and re-
ported to the city recorder, and at all
times it is known just how the money
is spent and where. While it makes
little more work for the city officials,
they have the advantage of knowing
at all times just what is being done
and how everything stands.

THE SUMMER SCHOOLS.
minnesota Leads Her Sister states in
This Respect.

Minnesota seems to stand at the
head of the states in the matter OF
summer schools, and as result is get
ting most carefully trained and eff
fcient corps of teachers. This year
there were not so many summer
schools by three through the state,
but there have been three more
teachers Institutes The attendance
has been good. These schools the
state superintendent states, are grow
ing better. The teachers are growing
more efficient and the state is being
enabled to weed out the poorer ones.
The attendance is said to consist more
generally Of teachers, and not to such
an extent of those who have failed to
make high school grades. In speak
ing of the summer schools and their
work to the Minneapolis Journal, Supt.
Pendergast said:
"MinnesOta leads the country in
this matter Of summer schools for
teachers 1t was unfavorable at first
that we should have teachers not well
equipped for the work, by reason of
lack of experience. 1t was also I'M
avoidable that we should take into
the schools great many who were
not teachers in fact or prospectively.
But time is helping us to overcome
both of these difficulties. Our teach
ing force now is we'll organized and is
of a high order; we have got rid of
practically all of the high school
scholars, and the schools are now be-
ing confined to teachers, in accordance
with the intention Of the law. This
means, of course, that in attendance
the schools are not showing any very
marked growth, but while we are not
increasing in numbers we are increaS-
ing in quality. The summer schools
are now an established thing in this
state. They have passed the expert
mental stage, and believe the legis-
lature will continue to make liberal
appropriations for them"
Mr., Pendergast is also of the opin-
ion. says the Journal, that there can
be no question as to the entire sue
cess of the experiment tried this year
of summer classes at the Winoua and
Mankato Normal schools. The at
tendance has been 500, which he thinks
is remarkably good for the first year,
better, in fact than had been expected.
This large attendance proves to him
that the summer classes at the Nor
mails fill long-felt want, and he says
the system will have to be extended
to include St. Cloud and MoOrhead by
the next legislature. These Normal
schools have also been drain upon
the regular summer schools, large
number of teachers who waited in
struction in the higher branches, but
could not secure it in the summer
schools, going to the Normals instead.
But notwithstanding, the summer
school attendance has about held its
own for the present year.
