WHY SPAIN IS NO GOOD.
Deductions Drawn From Statistics of tn
Enemy's Country.

Enemy's Country.
Philadelphia, Pa, July 27.-The
Philadelphia Commercial Museums
has compiled from the official figures
of Spain few deductions tending TO
show reasons for the deplorable condi-
ton of that country. The population
of the country is estimated at 1900
600. and half this number have no en-
ployment. According TO the census,
S,126,5l9 have declared to have no
trade or profession, and OF these g.
764.406 are women. The agricultural
census is the largest, and is composed
Of 4,033,291 men, while S2S,531 women
work in the fields. The total number
of persons unable to read or write is
estimated at 6,104,4T0, of which 3,417,-
sos are men. The schools Of the coun-
try are attended by 1,72S.920 pupils of
obth sexes, for whose instruction there
are 80, $50 teachers. 24,G24 of which are
men. Comparing the degree of illit-
eracy with the opportunities offered
by such large corps of instructors,
the commercial museums argues that
the country should show a higher de-
gree of education The following table

A sailor, said TO be the son Of an Indian
apolis grain dealer, was crushed to death in
a freight wreck on the Pennsylvania road
yesterday morning at Johnstown, ninety
miles east of Pittsburg. With two COM
panions the sailor was sleeping in a box
car. The trio was bound to Indianapolis.
His two companions escaped.
The sailor told the men in the car that
he had served two years in the navy, hav-
ing left his home in Indianapolis on account
of trouble with his father said TO be a
prominent grain merchant in that city. He
served a year on the gunboat Bennington
in the Asiatic squadron, then was sent to
Mare Island navy yard and some time be-
fore the battle ship Oregon started on It's
trip around the Horn, he was transferred
to IL as a first-class hospital apprentice
A few weeks ago he was taken of the ore
gon and placed on the Vermont at the
Brooklyn navy yard. When the sailor $

in the American Plate-glass Company OF
Alexandria was sold to w. L. Kahn, of
Pittsburg. to-day for s125,000. A check for
$4,000 was deposited in the Anderson bank
and securities given for the remainder. Mr..
Kahn thus secures controlling interest in
the company, whose stock is placed at ST.
oOO,GOO. Major Doxey held $500, 900 of the
stock This purchase money will be equally
divided between Mrs. Doxey and the majors
daughter. Mrs. Benepe of Indianapolis. Ex-
tensive improvements are now being made
IN the plant at Alexandria by Mr.. Kahn and
mis- associates that will cost $500 900 and will
make the Alexandria plant the largest in
the world, giving it an annual capacity of
5.VOOOOO feet of plate glass. 1t is interesting
that 1t is now the only plate-glass plant
IN the country that is operating independ-
ent or the trust. For long time the plants
at Alexandria and Irwin, Pa, were the only
ones that stood out and they were con-
trolled, respectively, by Doxey and Kahn
Inc plant at Irwin was destroyed by fire.

and on investigation it was found that a
farmer named Albert Besser had been
fatally shot as he was starting for home in
his wagon, accompanied by his brother,
Henry Besser. The thug had lodged out
from behind a section of the street fair
booths and called Besser TO halt He whip

was fred Besser died twenty minutes later
A number of Martins pals are under ar
rest and will be held as accompices pending

dered man had been seen at several saloons
during the evening and had been spotted"
by the gang.
The murdered man leaves an aged mother
