down by 81 yeas to 80 nays.
The bill authorizing the condemna-
tion of real estate needed for the use
of state normal schools was defeated.
Governor Hastings sents to the house
this evening a veto of the bill regu-
lating the educational rights of school
districts in the election of supervisory
principals.
The Farr eight-hour bill again came
before the house on a motion by Mr..
Harris, of Clearfield, to reconsider the
vote by which 1t was defeated yester-
day on final passage. Mr. Harris ex-
planned his motion was to allow Mr..
Farr, of Eackawanna, to amend the
measure to meet the objections that
mad been raised to 1t on third reading.
Mr.. Focht, of Union, in opposing a
reconsideration said what the working
men wanted was more work and not
shorter hours. He was opposed to the
bill, and hoped 1t would be reconsid-
cred. The motion was adopted and by
unanimous consent Mr.. Earr amended
it by striking out the proviso requiring
ten hours pay for eight hours work
by mechanics, laborers and working
men on state and municipal work

FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
John Wesley's In Georgia Antedates Rob
ert Raikes' Fifty Years


John Wesley's In Georgia Antedates Rob
ert Raikes' Fifty Years.
In recounting the ministrations Of
John Wesley in Georgia, where the IA
nous preacher sowed the first seeds Of
Methodism in America, the Rev W. J.
Scott, D. D., in The Ladies' Home
Journal, claims that Wesley established
the first Sunday school in the world at
Savannah. In connection with his 9TH
er labors, which were indeed prodigious,
Wesley, soon after his arrival in Geor-
gia, in 1886, began to provide for the
Sunday school instruction of the chill
dren of the parish. His devotion to chill
dren at times almost amounted to in
fatuation. Children were likewise equal
ly attached to him. as shown in their
intercourse with him Both ON week
days and Sabbaths be gave no little at
tention to educational work As a pre-
liminary labor on the Sabbath before the
evening service he required them to
convene IN the church, at which time
ne catechised them thoroughly and fur
nished them with additional teaching
from the Bible itself
In the present Wesleyan Memorial
church in Savannah there is a Sunday
school room into which hundreds Of
children crowd for Sunday instruction.
The original school was less in number,
but it was unquestionably the first Sun
day school in the world. When taught
by Wesley, it numbered between 60 and
rs scholars, but from all accounts there
were few il any Indian boys in his ear
lier Glasses. A very high authority, Sir
Charles Reed, M. p, LII D., of Eng
land, is clearly of the opinion that this
Sunday school was the first founded in
the world, and that it antedates by
half century the secular instruction OF
Robert Raikes at Gloucester, England,
as well as the first school in America
upon Raikes' plan- which was estab-
lished in the city of New York.

Quite irrespective of the immense
number of workmen who hold trade Sc
crets of their respective employers, few
people ever realize what a number of
workmen there are who hold small Sc
crets-some of them may consist mere
ly of knaek of doing some particular
thing in a peculiar way-of their own,
and most rigidly guard these" re-
marked a well known trades union
official.
81 could cite many remarkable cases
where workmen, ON account of their
method of doing some one apparently
simple thing, have always been at a
premium with various masters, and
only the other day was talking to the
head of great decorating firm about
such man.
''This firm has often, in decorating
great mansions and public buildings, to
carry out a certain scheme of color, and
that one color has to be uniform
throughout a great area of covered
space This firm had one man who, if
100 rooms had to be painted, could in
fallibly mix fresh supplies of color to
the exact shade, but during its 40 years
of existence the firm never had another
workman who could do this.
81 could name for you 100 trades
where some one man effects his object
with few strokes where others labor
long and patiently, but what l want to
impress ON the public is that workmen
possess and guard far more minor trade
secrets of their own than the masters
ever did or do. Pearson Weekly.

Grants Dinerent Hats.

After his return from abroad Grant
had little japanese servant, who took
charge of him as though the general
were bit of machinery and he were the
engineer Some of the newspaper men
noticed that in the course of one trip
Grant had on six different hats, and
they laughingly asked him what was
the significance of the change Grant
said: why, do not know. / supposed
| had ON the same hat all the time
Investigation brought out the fact that
the little Jap, through the suggestion of
some of the ladies of the party or some
Of the committee, had received ideas as
to what kind Of hat the general ought
to wear at certain towns. If it was a
college town, just before he arrived the
little Jap would tiptoe to the general,
remove the SLOUGH hat, place a silk hat
carefully on the generals head and trip
out, the general never losing a word of
any conversation. At the next stop, if
it was explained to the little Jap that
it was soldier town, off would come
the silk hat and on went the generals
military hat. He made it a rule for the
general never to appear at two places
in the same hat, and the joke of it was
that Grant himself did not know any
thing of the scheme. "-Philadelphia
