SAVINGS BY .
STAMPS
May Be introduced in
Public Schools.
A PUBLIC A R GWEN.
Several Leading Citizens Advocated
the Scheme.
A PUBLIC HEARING GIVEN.
TO PROMOTE THRIFT IN YOUNG

The executive committee Of the school
committee gave . hearing. yesterday AZ
ternoon, upon the petition OF the society
for organizing charities that the stamp
saving system he introduced In the pub
lilo schools. and before taking n action
the committee desired to hear all parties
Interested. A number of prominent oit-
liens. who are interested in the Penny
Provident Association were present, and
the system was explained.

dent Barney Of the school committee who

called the nesting TO order and read
the petition.
Prof. Gardner outliss the plan, and
he said that 1t enables those who desire
TO save small amounts to purchase stamps
ana when the amount reaches 81, the
Mechanics Savings Bank will accept that
as . deposit. 1t IL simply an extension
OF the savings bank, and AS stated In the
petition In order TO carry on this work
it is necessary to work among lar &c
bodies. and the public schools offered
thO O1Ds VBBtA
such a Elan In the public schools, Prof.
Gardiner said Ii was not the purpose TO
impose an undue burden upon the
teachers by making it compulsory.
Mr.. Gsmmell stated that, after much
trouble, the corporation OF the Mechnn-
les Institution for Savings was secured.
That institution will cash stamps wher
the books roach II, or will accept the
same on deposit to bear interest after
the amount has reached %. Ihis is done
without charge. -
Col. Goddard said that he thought after
listening to the details Of the plan that
the children the haiti of thrift and econ
omy, which are essential to good citi-
zsnship. Anything that would tend to
check the hnbit Of extravaganza ought to
be done. Extravagance, he said, was
the evil In our American civilization,
and the rich ana prosperous often set the
example to the poor.
Supsrin tendeDs Tsrbell wanted to
know whore the stamps were to be ob-
tanned. and he was Informed by Mr.. { q a.
nell that the society, whi5h had been
chartered, would proviie them. Ihe mas
ter Of distribution has team discussed be
fore this and the superintendent thought
1t would be better to do 1t at the weekly
meetings of the grammar masters. Tbs
matter OF ~disposing of the money every
week was considered. The banks are
closed ut the hour of the meeting, and
President Barney thought the better way
would be to provide a safe, where the
money could be placed until the next
day.
Nobody appearsl In opposition to the
plan, and IL IL probable that a favorable
recommendation will be made at tho
next meeting of the school committee.

ATTACK UPON CERvERA.
Workmen of Bilboa Planning a Hos
tile Demonstration.


Madrid, Sept 20.-The workmen of
Bilboa, where the cruisers which be-
longed to Admiral Cerveras fleet We're
built, have decided to go to Santander
in order to make a demonstration
against the defeated Spanish admiral
on his return to Spain. The govern
ment, however, has taken measures to
prevent the plan being carried out, and
the ministry has forbidden demonstra-
ton welcoming Cervera home.
Captain General Blanco cables from
Havana that he is not in accord with
the Cuban colonial ministry, to which
the government here replied that while
Spanish sovereignty existed in Cuba, he
must apply autonomy and, therefore,
he could not turn out he colonial gov
ernment now in office~and appoint a
new one.
The Duke of Tetuan, who was minis
ter for foreign affairs in the cabinet of
the late Premier Canovas del Castillo,
is quoted as saying in an interview:
'.Senor Canovas, if he had lived, would
never have accepted war with the Unit
ed States. Canovas and myself We're
convinced that war would lead newt
ably to the ruin of SPAIN
Continuing, the duke blamed the Lib
erals, who, he said could have averted
war either by accepting the proffered
good offices of the United States min
lister, General Stewart L. Woodford, or
by treating with the insurgents on the
basis of Cuban independence, or by SELL
ing Cuba
Senior Sagasta, the Duke of Tetuan
declared, is responsible for all our dis
asters, and must be elected from
power

BIG RAILROAD STRIKE.
Pittsburg Conductors and Brakemen
Demand Higher Wages.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 2l-The Post to-
day will say that for some time past
rumors Of a big railroad strike have
been circulated. but nothing could be
learned until yesterday, when it deveI-
oped that the conductors and brake
men of the roads entering Pittsburg
want to he placed on an equality with
their brethren in other parts of the
country. To accomplish this object
these two branches of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen- yesterday pre-
sented to the officials of all railroads
entering this city scale of wages. An
answer is requested within 80 days.
The demand calls for a ten-hour day
with extra for every hour out in be-
yond that. The rate of wages asked is
as follows: Day conductors, S2.75; day
bIakemen, $3.50; night yard conduct
crs, $3.50; night yard brakemen, $2.7O;
extra, per hour: Day conductors, 2712c;
day brakemen, 25c; night conductors,
2Sc; night brakemen, &c. The present
wages are based on 12-hour day.
1t is claimed by the men that the rate
asked by them is paid in Chicago,
Cleveland, Youngstown and many other
western cities.
The distance for which the advance
is asked extends east as far as Altoona,
and west to Ashtabula. Ninety mine
per cent of the conductors and brake
men in this district are members of the
Brotherhood, and they expect the COM
p2nieS to grant their demands without
a strike being necessary.

SOLDIERS UNPAID.
Negligence of Army Officers Causes
Much Confusion.


Washington, Sept 2O.-The payment
of such soldiers as were not with their
commands when the regiments We're
mastered out is one of the problems
that have been presented to the war de-
partment officials. Some time ago or
derS were issued directing regimental
and other commanders TO have soldiers
on sick leave or furlough furnished with
descriptive lists, so that they might be
paid if they were not with their COM
mands. Some of the officers have neg
lected to do this. Then, again, cases
have arisen where soldiers have gone
into hospitals, and their commands
have been transferred to other camps
or home, to be mustered out, and moth
ing was left for the soldiers to identify
themselves for the receipt of their pay.
An instance of this kind was discover
ed by Secretary Alger in a hospital at
Lexington. He telegraphed Paymaster
General Stanton that there were 80 men
in the hospital there who had not re-
ceived their pay for July. There was
nothing to identify the men to the pay
master, as their regimental and COM
pany commanders had not furnished
them with any means of identification.
General Stanton Immediately ordered
that they be paid for July, and will
undertake to trace down their records,
so as to keep his accounts straight.
Today several members of Roosevelt's
Rough Riders were at the department
with note from Colonel Roosevelt,
asking that the department take some
steps looking TO the payment of the
men and giving them transportation to
their homes. These men were on fur
lough or sick leave when the regiment
was mustered out They returned from
their leaves to Camp Wikoff and found
no regiment to report to. They were
apparently without any status before
the war department These men were
given all that they were entitled to un-
der the law and sent home feeling we'll
satisfied

at Fort Meyer.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-President Nc
Kinley this afternoon made a personal
inspection of the hospital at Fort
Meyer, Va. Accompanied by Adjutant
General Corbin the president left the
White House at 1:S0 D. m. and drove
unannounced TO the fort. He pro-

Producing himself to Major Davis, the
United States army surgeon in charge
of the hospital, informed him that he
had come 10 make an inspection of the
institution, and to pay his respects 70
the patients and those in charge.
Major Davis, the attendants and the
patients alike, were surprised and graf
ified at the honor done them by the
president, and he was afforded every
opportunity to make a thorough exam
ination of the hospital. The president
passed an hour and a half in the var
ious wards and departments of the in
stitution, going from COT to cot and ex-
tending a personal greeting to each
one OF nearly 400 patients.
Major Davis presented him to each of
the assistant surgeons and nurses, and
subsequently the president talked in
formally to the convalescent patients.
The president carefully inspected the
kitchen and examined the food supplies
of the hospital patients. At the con-
himself as well satisfied with the ar
rangements made for caring for the
sick, but desired it to be understood
that the patients were to want for
nothing that would improve their con-
