A Trades Union Of Teachers

Something very like trades union,
the Springfield Republican points out,
has been organized by the grade teach
ers of Chicago. This Is Public School
Teachers Federation, under the presi-
dency of Miss Elizabeth K. Burdick OF
the Prescott. Although the federation
has for a secondary object mutual ben
eft and improvement in other than sal
ary matters, the organization is made at
this time to force unified and increased
scale of wages. The Republican contin-
ueS:
This claim is a strong one and, ac-
cording to the newspaper reports, IL
meeting with consideration from the in
dividual members of the school board,
though their action as a body on the Pc
tition sent by the new federation may
not be favorable at this time. In Miss
Burdick's own words, the teachers po-
sition is that the grade teachers, upon
whom the bulk of the school work falls,
are disproportionately paid in compare
son with the principals, the superintend-
ent and his assistants, and particularly
the special teachers. There are, she
says, 100000 public school children In
Chicago, and the labor of educating
them Is performed chiefly by the $500
grade teachers, who begin to work for
$500 with a gradual increase Of wages
during term of seven years continuous
service until they reach the limit of $500
in the primary departments and $3.50 in
the grammar schools, while the superin-
tendent, Mr.. Lane, receives $1,000, his as
sistants $4,000, the supervisors from $500
to $3000 the special teachers from $1,000
to $1,000, and the grammar school prin-
cipals from s25OO to $4,000. She asks, in
regard to the special teachers of drawing
and music:
do you suppose It is they who teach
the pupils drawing and music? Not at
all; they pay us a formal visit once q
month, and in the meanwhile do all the
teaching in drawing and music. DO
not blame them, understand, for they
cannot come oftener. But 1t Is true, all
the same, that they get the money and
I do the work"
What those teachers want is to have
their wage scale limit placed at $1,000. be-
ginning where it now does at $500 (thiD
limit being but $40 more than the maxi
mum wages paid in Philadelphia for the
same sort of teaching), with a possible
lengthening Of the term of service nee
essary to reach the larger sum to, per-
haps, nine years.

EARLsToN ARRESTED
Captured Near the Mexican Line.
Will Be Brought Back


The following Associated Press dis
patch was received last night from San
Diego, stating that prof" Richard
Earlston had been arrested at Tia Juana
on a warrant charging him with criminal
assault:
SAN DIEGO, Aug 15-Richard Earls-
ton, the we'll known aeronaut, was ar
rested this afternoon on telegraphic or
ders from Los Angeles directing the po-
lice here to hold him on a charge of rape
The aeronaut was trying to get into
Lower California, and when finally cap
tured after an exciting chase he was in
the Tia Juana river within few feet of
the Mexican line. Earlston recently mar
ried under compulsion a 15-year-old girl
in Los Angeles.
Earlston has quite record in this city
Several weeks ago he and 15-year-old
girl named Bulah Minot disappeared
at the same time. The parents of the
girl got out warrant charging Earlston
with abduction. A few days later the
paid turned UP all right, and then the
matter was settled by the aeronaut
agreeing to marry the girl, the parents
giving their consent to the union.
After this Earlston went to San Diego,
where he figured in wild scheme to get
up balloon party to the Klondyke. Ir.
the meaninle another warrant was
sworn out against him, this time charg-
ing criminal assault. 1t is und derstood
that Bulah Minot was only IA years of
age when Earlston first began paying
her attentions.
Earlston once served term of 180 days
in the chain gang. He will be brought
back here and prosecuted.

the possibilities of taxation had Mr..
Clark his wealth in town lots or acreage.
This same point might be made against
all the more successful mines in the ter
ritory. They rarely pay tax on anything
more than their improvements, and on
those at low valuation.
1t is not to be thought that the terri
tory is oblivious to this state Of affairs.
In several of the legislatures efforts
have been made to revive the bullion tax
of 1880. But the bill has always myste-
riously been shelved and always just
after the visit to the capital of some one
Of the main mining men OF the territory.
Last legislature the mining man who
acted as undertaken for the bill came
provided with only $500 in cash. He
had to send back for $250O more.

around somewhat, and when the dogs
were slipped again the betting was about
even. Leonora's staying powers were
the best. She beat Promise Me I'M the
run-up in all the subsequent work and
won the course and the stake. The other
dogs out of the fifty-four that came in
for share of the money and performed
most creditably were Beau Brummel,

THE LONDON MARKET
Wheat Prospects Cause Revival of
Business

LONDON, Aug. 15.-The week has
witnessed a revival Of interest in the
money market. Discount rates advanced
to 15s, the chief factors contributing to
this being the decline in New York eX-
change, and the rise of wheat in the
United States with the certainty that
Europe will take a large part Of the
American product At one time the mar
ket was much excited, rates being
quoted Subject to the rise in the bank
ing and land rates" The bank Joined
to an extent by calling in lonas Gold
remittances from the United States will
soon begin, but are not expected to equal
last years record. There is good de-
mand for gold from Russia, but the
metal is arriving from Australia and the
Cape only.
Silver purchases for India are small.
There is general falling off Of values
in the stock market which is depressed
by the news from India and the unset
tied condition of New York prices. The
volume of business was much less than
during the previous week, being con-
fined for the most part to American rail-
ways, which were feverish. The prin-
cipal transactions were in Union Pacific,
Northern Pacific preferred and Atchi-
son, which were largely bought, and
there was a good demand for second
and third class bonds But the rise seems
to have reached it's limit and realizations
are likely to bring material setback If
only temporarily. Canadians have fallen
because of the general impression that
the Klondyke is overdone. and Grand
Trunks sympa thize. Americans have di-
verted business from home rails, which
are uncommonly dull The mining mar
ket settlement showed some expansion
of speculative account, the carrying
over rates amounting occasionally to IA
per cent. Africans were the features,
but there was some buying of West Aus
tralians on Adelaide account.

Joseph Ladue's Little Book Ready for
Delivery
A fresh and large supply of "Klon-
dyke Nuggets" has been received by
The Herald; not the virgin gold as it
is found on the tributaries of the Yu-
kon, but the book of that name which
has been offered to readers of this pap

in securing reliable and complete in
formation pertaining to the gold fields
of Alaska supply of this valuable
little book has been secured and copies
can be obtained by readers on presen-
tation of coupon, to be found in the
advertising columns, and the paymetn
Of ten cents.
"Klondyke Nuggets" is brochure
of 96 pages, written by Joseph Ladue,
a pioneer in that region and founder
of the now famed Dawson City. For
fifteen years Mr.. Ladue has resided
in Alaska and has prospected the re-
X
gust "a, 1896 the Klondyke was un-
known to the world, but on that date
gold was discovered and on Septem-
ber 1st Ladue commenced the erection
of the first house on what is now the
site Of Dawson City.
In his book Mr.. Ladue gives ex-
hustive information regarding that
whole region, covering routes, dis
tances and transportation; the Yukon
it's aff1uent streams and the adjacent
country; the necessary outfit for min
ers, advice to beginners, etc, etc. The
description while condensed is most
complete and comprises probably the
most authentic and valuable infor-
nation at present obtainable.
Several interviews with Mr. Ladue
were published in the New York
World recently and were acknow-
lodged as the most reliable and de-
finite yet secured. AS one critic said:
have read pretty much, every
thing that has come out of the Klon-
dyke region in the last six weeks, but
the first connected idea I have been
able to get of what has been done there
was gained from Mr.. Ladue.s state
ments. I have seldom seen so much
information packed into the same
number Of columns as Mr.. Ladue has
given in his little work.

finest, the most highly sanctioned and the
most popular tonic and preventive in ex-
istence. 1t strengthens the stomach. rem
edies torpor of the liver and bowels and
gives a healthy impulse to the secreting
and discharging functions of the kidneys
and bladder. Not only does it arrest and
prevent the recurrence of malarial fevers
but it furnishes the only adequate safe
guard against them to persons who have
never been afflicted with those maladies,
but would be liable to incur them if medic
inally unprotected. 1t eliminates from the
blood certain impurities which the most
skilful pathologists assign as the excit-
ing cause of those agonizing complaints,
rheumatism and gout, and it is. moreover
an excellent remedy for an enfeebed and
overweight state of the nerves and for
mental despondency.

PHILOSOPHY UPSET

One point there is that appears decid-
ly queer in the whole business. Arizona
is a mining country, above all else yet
the mines pay very little indeed toward
the governments support. For instance,
the United Verde mine at Jerome, own
ed by Clark of Montana, is rated worth
$50, 900 900, a million more than the total
valuation of the territory in which it
is situated This is a denial of the old
physical axiom that part may not be
greater than the whole. Yavapai coun-
ty, in which this wonderful mine is sit
uated, has a total valuation of only 3d.
100000. 1t is interesting to contemplate
