EDUCATIONAL FACTS.
Annual Statement of the Govern

Annual Statement of the Govern
ment Commissioner Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-The annu-
al statement of the commissioner of ed
ucation has been submitted to Secre-
tary Bliss. The report shows satisfac
tory results for the work Of the year
ending June 80, 1898
"One cause of congratulation on the
part of those who hold the doctrine
that popular educa ton is the safeguard
of our American Institutions says the
report, lis the continued prosperity of
the elementary schools. The increase
during the year 1867 amounted to 257-
696 pupils over the previous year. The
total enrolled in elementary schools
amounted to 1882, 426 pupils. Adding
to it those in colleges, universities,
high schools and academies, the total
number reached 16, 255, 093''
The total amount of schooling re-
ceiVed per individual on an average for
the whole United States, at the rate Of
school attendance for 1897 Is nearly
five years of 200 days each, and reach
es quite seven years in a few of the
states that are the most lavish in their
expenditures for education A little
more than one-fifth of the entire pop
ulation attended school at some time
during the year.
still greater occasion for congrat-
ulatiOn, it is stated, is the increase of
students In colleges and universities.
This increase has gone on steadily for
twenty-five years, and in 1872 only
$50 persons In the million were enrolled
in those institutions. In 1897 the num-
Der had risen to 1,216 in the million.
being more than double the number.
During the same period there has been
an important change in regard to con-
ditions Of admission to college The
standard has been raised to such an
extent as to require an average of
years work more in preparation for the
freshmen class. Considering the ele-
waited standard, 1T is safe to estimate
the number in higher education meas
ured by the standard of 1872 as three
times as large in 1897 as twenty-five
years before.
This increase was most remarkable
IN those students taking what are call
ed postgraduate studies and engaged
in the work of original investigation.
The provisional students in the schools
Of law, medicine and theology Increased
during the same period. During the
same period scientific and technical
schools multiplied
In view of the continually increas sing
demand for higher education. SAYS the
statement, the increase of professional
education, and especially the rapid
growth Of that class of students that
make special expert studies In post
graduate work, Is in the highest degree
reassuring.
large portion Of the report Is de-
voted to statistics Of education in the
United States. During the year there
were maintained in Alaska eighteen
day schools, with 1,215 pupils

1aus THE course. The chances are that an
obscure physician of small practice will
not diagnose troubles of this nature prop
erly. If he does, he will insist OH the
obnoxious examinations and local treat
ment from which every sensitive, modest
woman shrinks.
The specialist referred to is Dr. R. v.
Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting
physician 10 the Invalids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute at Buffalo, n. Y. Thirty years
ago he discovered wonderful medicine
for diseases peculiar to women, that may be
used effectively in the privacy of the home,
and does away with all necessity for exam-
nations and local treatment This medi-
cine is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t acts directly on the delicate
and important organs concerned in wife
hood and motherhood. 1t makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t allays in
fammation, heals liberation soothes pain
and tones and builds up the nerves. Taken
during the period of prospective maternity,
1t banishes the usual discomforts and
makes baby's coming easy and almost pain-
less 1t inSures the little newcomers

have the troops hauled gratis by the
railroads, who will wait for their pay

She keeps vigilant eye upon every arriv-
ing passenger and upon every departing one
to see If he wears a uniform, and she no
sooner spots one, than she accosts the wear

STRANDED STEAMERS.
Dense Smoke on Upper Lakes Caus-
Ing Many Casualties


CHICAGO, Sept 19.-The dense
smoke, coupled with fog, which now
hangs over the upper lakes, is bringing
q long list Of disasters to vesselmen
and marine underwriters. The smoke
is accompanied by a Northwest gale
on both Lake Michigan and Lake Su-
pelior. The cause of the smoke seems
TO be unknown, as no forest fires have
been reported anywhere near the upper
lakes, and it is believed that the smoke
has come from fires in the far North
west, several hundred miles distant. Up
to late hour this afternoon, the
standings reported were:
Steamer Lewiston, Manitowoc to
Buffalo, with grain, ashore near Scotch
Point, Lake Michigan.
