TO TEACH SLOYD.
Miss Molander, of Finland, Engaged to
Teach in the Deaf and Dumb and the
Blind Institution.


Teach in the Deaf and Dumb and the
Blind Institution.
AT the meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Institution held last Monday
night, a decided step forward was taken.
department of Sloyd teaching was es-
tablished, and a native of Finland, Miss
Anna Molander, was elected to the posi-
ton of teacher.
The Sloyd system originated in Sean
dinavia, and embraces several branches
of handicraft. 1t has been introduced
into a few of the leading schools for the
blind in this country. The principal OBJ
ject of the system is the development of
the use of the hand leading from simple
exercises to more and more useful ones,
until articles of utility are produced.
Miss Molander occupies a life position
in the public schools of Finland, and
whether present or absent, draws her
salary there. This made it possible to
secure her services in North Carolina at
great reduction.
She came to this country first some
years ago and established the Sloyd de-
partment in the Perkins Institution for
the Blind, at Boston, Mass. Later she
established like department in the Wis
consin Institutions; and during the past
two years she has done the same thing
for the Royal Normal College for the
Blind in London. England.
Our Institution is To be congratulated
upon securing the services of so distin-
guished and capable a teacher.

THE OFFICE RAIDED.
Many Thanks to st. Mary's Guild and
Its Fair Representatives.

DIS VAR representatives.
Hurried footsteps in the hall. merry
laughter, the door flew open and the
editor of the News and Observer and his
staff were completely overcome. Three
of the fairest of the fair members of ST.
Mary's Guild, Miss Addie Rogers, Miss
Martha Harris and Miss Mamie Hanff,
together with their most fortunate
escorts, came bearing delicaces which
must have made Jupiter turn green with
envy when looking down from high
Olympus he saw that these fair daugh-
ters of earth had not prepared these
dainties for the banquet hall of the gods,
but instead spread them upon the broad
table in the reporters room before the
smiling editor and his beaming assist
ants. 1t is cruel to those who were not
present to mention such things as steam
ing fried oysters, chicken salad, deli
cious ice-cream, divine syllabub, choicest
cakes and other good things which only
such fair hands can serve-yet these
were only some of the blessings enjoyed
last night.
Long live st. Mary's Guild and it's
generous representatives of last even
ing.

HELD ON TO THE SECURITY.
Mary Jane Frazier Retains Pension
Paper and Gets Into Trouble.


Mrs. Mary Jane Frazier, whose owner
ship of the old rookery known as Stafford
block has made her locally famous, is in
trouble again. This time Uncle Sam S
law preservers have bone to pick with
her.
A while ago, Charles H. Commission
bought chamber set of her. She offered
it to him for $12 cash, but he hadn't the
wherewith at that time, and he agreed if
she would wait till his next pension pay
ment came due to pay her S14. She being
somewhat in doubt about the wisdom of
letting him have the furniture on credit.
he agreed to place in her hands as securi-
ty his pension certificate. She accepted
his proposition and he hauled off the
chamber set to his home
Not long afterward there came change
in Mr.. Conniston's domestic plans. He
decided to break up housekeeping here
and move to some other place, and he
went to Mrs. Fraziers and asked her to
take the furniture he had purchased of
her. She declined, but after some per-
suasion agreed to receive it if the delivery
was made that night.
Commission did not find it convenient
to send back the chamber set that night.
but last Wednesday, in company with
Michael J. Neales, he drove to Mrs. Fra
zier's with it. She wouldn't listen to any
no place for the furniture. and would
not admit it to the house, nor would she
give up the pension paper which she had
retained as security for the payment.
Commission unloaded the furniture on
the sidewalk in front of Mrs. Frazier
abode and drove off. On Thursday he
called on her and demanded return of
his pension certificate, but she refused to
give it up. After repeated attempts to
get the much priced paper, he placed his
case in the hands of the federal autho-
rifles and Deputy United States Marshal
Smith sent down to Mrs. Frazier's to ar
rest her on warrant charging her with
refusing to give up the pension certificate
She was, brought into the United States
court and arraigned before Commissioner
Bradley. She pleaded not guilty to the
barge, and the storieskof both sides were
heard. The two versions of the affair did
not differ materially. Mrs. Frazier's ex-
cuse for not wanting to accept return of
the furniture was that the mattress was
torn. She was not aware that pension
paper cannot be used as collateral, and
that refusal to give up such a document
to the person whose name it bears is an
otfense against the laws of the country.
Here's his paper" said the respon.
dent, approaching the commissioner s
desk and throwing down the pension GER.
tl1icate with an air of disgust. GIVE got
the furniture, and now he's got his paper,
and guess we are about square"
But Commissioner Bradley found mo-
bable cause against the respondent on
the charge mentioned in the warrant and
he bound her over to the September term
OF the District court to be held at Bath
Her personal recognizance was taken in
the sum of $780,

In a despatch from Bangor published in

was limited at as having come about
through the desire of Col Philbrook Of

successor. We are informed that such was
not the case, and that the cause of Major
Plaisted's resignation was for an entirely
different reason, and was in no way
due to the action of Col Philbrook.

fast her deckload was thrown overheard.
Thus lightened, she was able to make this

Custer is, practically speaking, pure
ly a mining and stock raising county.
The former industry predominates TO
large extent, the Hardscrabble district
being one Of the best and favoraoiy
known in Colorado. This locality pos
sesses a number of mines of national
fame, notably the Bassick, Geyser,
Horn Silver, Racine Boy, Pocohontas,
Bull Domingo and Humboldt. A majori-
ty of the mines are gold producers,
though when the price of silver was up,
digging for the white metal proved an
important industry. Prospecting Is car
ried on on a large scale around the
town of Silver Cliff and lately some
rich strikes have been reported. The
Bull Domingo, one of the greatest silver
lead propositions in the United States,
is now over ], 200 feet deep, and the ore
is of such a nature that even al the low
price of silver, the mine Is worked at
a good profit. The Geyser mine is work.
ed by one of the most complete plants
of machinery in the country. Seven
mammoth boilers and two immense
compressors furnish the motive power.
The ore in the Geyser runs as high as
24.OOO ounces of silver, and $50 In gold
per ton. The Geyser mine near the town
of Silver Cliff, has the deepest shaft In
the state, and is still going downward
and getting richer with depth. The Wet
Mountain valley, rs miles long by nine
miles wide, between the two great
ranges, the Green Horn and Sangre De
Christie, is a beautiful spot for the sue
cessful raising of cattle. Game Is abund-
ant in the mountains, and carp and
mountain trout are numerous in the
streams. The scenery Is awe-inspiring
and grand.
