He was heard by the cook to be
moving about downstairs after the
clock struck one; and the underhouse-
maid, Anne Dodson. declared in her
evidence that she heard her master
come upstairs and go into his bed
room Just as the great hall clock
chimed the three-quarters after one.
This witness moreover declared that
she was suffering from toothache on
that night and could get no rest, SO
she was trying to read herself to
sleep. Hearing Mr.. Hughes step on
the stairs. she looked at her watch and
was astonished to find that 1t was SO
late. Soon afterwards the clock below
struck two, and this fact impressed the
time upon her mind.

EDUCATIONAL FACTS.
STATISTICS PUB
LISHED.
They Show Great Increase of Institutiops
of LearninE-one Firth of the Populs-
tion Now In School,

The report of the secretary of the in
terror shows that one-fifth of the en-
tire population of the United States Is
in schoOl-the total being 1925, ,093,
although the total average schooling
enjoyed by the people of the United
States does not equal more than 1000
days for each inhabitant.
OF recent years there has been n
large increase in the number of stud
ents In colleges and universities. The
total in 1871 was SS,S64. and in 1898 it
was 17,IG3. In 1872 the proportion
was $50 students to every 10O0,OOO in
habitnnts. In 1898 it was 1,21G to ev-
cry 1,OOOOOO inhabitants. Consider
ing that the standard of admission to
colleges has been considerably raised
during that period, Secretary Bliss cs-
Inmates the number of students at col
leges and universities is three times
greater than il was twenty-five years
ago and that the number pursuing
postgraduate courses is twenty-five
times as large us il was in 1877.
Another important and interesting
item shows the expenditure per capita
Of population for public schools has
been gradually increased from S1.75 in
1871 to $2.62 in 1898. while the eXpen-
diture per pupil per year has increased
from S15.2O to S1S.57. The total ex-
nRenditure for public schools in 1871
kas $G9.10T, ,612 and in 1897 1t was
S1S1 ,32O, G02. The total number of pu-
pills enrolled in the common schools
has very nearly doubled during the last
quarter of n century. In 1871 1t was
1,561,5S2 in 1897. 1i.G52,4 ,492. The num-
Der of teachers employed in the public
schools of the United States in 1871
was 220.225. in 1897. 4l3,3I3. The in
crease in the number of woman teach
ers has been more rapid than those of
men. In 1871 9O.393 men and 129. 132
