STORMED BY WILD GEESE.
So Thick Around St. Louis That Shoot
 ing Does Not Scare Them.

The greatest flight of wild geese known for years in the vicinity of St. Louis is now on. For days past these harbingers of spring have been mass ing on the big prairies eastward in Illf- nois as far as the Okaw river, where they rest at night and spread out over the green fields to feed in the daytime. From the bluffs at Alton, on the east side, geese are seen in thousands. The farmers are up in arms and the local hunters out with arms of all kinds, making fat bags of the big game birds.
 Jim Doyle, the old-time hunter, came in Sunday with geese galore. He says he simply got weary of shooting

OBJECT TO EXPENDITURE.
Citizens of Veale's Addition Want q
School of Their Own.

The citizens of Veales addition east
of Parkdale held a meeting last night
to discuss the necessity of erecting a
school building to replace the one con-
demned by order of the school board
thus compelling the children to attend
the Parkdale and Branner schools.
This is said to be great discomfort
and inconvenience to the children, pc
cause of distance of the schools.
The meeting passed the following res
olution:
I'VE are opposed to the expenditure
of public school funds, soon to become
available, in the erection of costly
buildings in other parts of the city al
ready supplied with ample school &C
commodation, as for instance the Bran
ner school, while we are deprived OF an
increasingly needed building.
We firmly oppose the purchase of the
Locust street site, because of its dam
gerous proximity to the creek, while we
own a much better and more healthful
site.
And further, that since Veale's addi-
ton was included within the corporate
limits of the city, our school has been
unjustly taken away from US.
We resolve, that we will with all dig
nifty protest and vigorously proclaim
our rights to the said board of educa-
ton.
Resolved, That a committee wait upon
the board of education at it's next meet
ing and present our claims and re-
quests.

TEACHERS VICTORIOUS.
Will Have Their Salaries Raised Ex-
actly in the Manner They Desire.

Albany, April ia complete victory
has been gained by the school teachers
of New York city in their fight for
higher salaries and service pensions
Gov. Roosevelt objected strongly to
certain features of the Ahearn bill at
the hearing before him. but could not
withstand the united opposition to his
opinion. After formally asking Supt
Jasper and the teachers if they were
satisfied with the bill as amended, the
governor declared he would approve it.
More than fifty school teachers and
officials of the New York board of edu-
cation attended the hearing
The governor won his principal point
which was that merit and fitness in
stead of length of service should form
the basis for the advancement of the
teachers.
The power the borough superintend-
entS, should exercise over the teachers
caused the chief dispute of the day The
governor claimed the superintendent
should be allowed to Investigate and
examine" The teachers objected to
the word examine" declaring it OBJ
noxious.
Gov. Roosevelt" said Principal Far
ren, the teachers of New York do not
want that word examine Supt Jas
per does not want that word examine ;
The only one who wants it is the COVER
nor of the state. Are you going to de-
prive the school teachers of what they
want because of your individual opin-
ion?'
This was too much for the governor
He capitulated. His hand was wrung
with great fervor by all present

BLACKSMITH ALAWYER.
Chattan oogans Are Enjoying Quite
Novel Sensation.

Chattanooga, Tenn. April 13.-Dr.
John William Farr Jr., dean of the
Chattanooga law school, has been de-
posed by the board of trustees and fac
ulty of the institution, and their action
and subsequent developments have Gre
ated big sensation. 1t transpires that
DR.. Farr II months previous to his Sc
lection as dean. was employed as a
blacksmith in a Chicago railway shop.
Some months ago he came here and
interested Drs. Race and Rust, of the
Freedman's Aid society, and a number
of local lawyers in ablishing a law
school in connection with the Grant I'M
iversity. He brought with him num-
Der of degrees from various institutions
his many literary pretensions aroused
a question as to his right to carry so
many honors. The school was estab-
lished with Farr as dean. He was ac-
tive, had plenty of nerve, and sent out
advertising matter galore. His parents
were to furnish large sum to endOw
the institution.
After an acquaintance of several
months Chattanooga lawyers became
lawyer and commenced an inVestiga-
ton. It was found that he was not an
experienced law educator. He was de-
tected in selling degrees of the UNIVERSE
ty at prices from $25 to 5000. His resig-
nation was asked for and he has left
the city under a cloud. IT is learned he
took a years law course in Chicago and
graduated with the honors mentioned.
Today it was learned that he had ar
ranged to have a number of young men
admitted to practice in courts upon a
certificate signed by the dean, many
had been studying law six months.
There are $50 students at the school.

SIGNS OF GOOD TIMES.
IFrom the Chicago News.1

IFrom the Chicago News.1
Whatever may be the Industrial con-
nitions in the west there is no disput-
ing the statement that there has been
a strong and entirely natural advance
in the amount of wages paid to labor
very generally in many of the eastern
states.
Reports show that in the cotton and
wooden mill industries in the New Eng
land states and in the coal and iron
trades in Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Ohio the advance in wages has
been from 10 to % per cent over last
year. and that such increase applies
to an aggregate of more than 700 coo
wage earners- Not only is this true
of the east, but in some sections of the
the wages paid in some industries, nota-
bly, the railroad and allied fields of la
Dor. Especially is this increase noted
in the furniture and wood working
trades in the west and in the clothing
cigar, wagon manufacturing and agri-
cultural implement making trades in
the north and middle west
Another significant sign of the times
is that while there is a substantial ad-
vance in the amount of wages paid
there is also a largely increased demand
for laborers in almost every department
OF American industry. and this applies
with special force to iron, and steel and
allied activities. That this indicates an
improved condition of business of all
kinds is attested by the fact that there
has been. at nearly all the financial
centerS OF the country, an increased de-
mand for money at higher rates of in
tereSt, which shows that men can Dor
row money, put it in their business and
make a margin on it over and above the
interest paid.

ROAST BEEF AND COFFINS.
War Department Sending Grewsome
Cargo to Manila

San Francisco, April 13.-The govern
ment supply ship Birdston Hill, which
is to sail from this port for Manila in a
few days, has in her hold, under tons
of other cargo, 1900 cases of canned
roast beef of the same brand that was
served to American soldiers during the
Santiago campaign. Heaped on top of
these cases are 500 collins, in which are
to be brought back bodies of men who
fell in battle around Manila.
Roast beef and collins were placed
on board the Birdston Hill while she
was lying at an isolated wharf. The
vessel was then taken to another wharf
and freighted with tons of other cargo.
No collins or cans of beef were put on
the ship after she left the unfrequent-
ed wharf.
The swinging of the ship with the
swell at her mornings brings caskets
Gathering against beef cans with every
bump against the piling. 1t is a cur
ious combination with grim significance,
this linking of army beef and burial
boxes.
The Birdston Hill is British vessel
recently chartered by the United States
because of scarcity of ships to convey
supplies to Manila.

AGAINST SEN. MARTIN.
Virginia Dem ocrats Determined That
the People Shall Elect Senators

Richmond, Va, April 13.-The coming
Democratic convention for the determi-
nation of the question of nominating
United States senators in this state by
primary is thought to be the beginning
of movement to have senators elected
by the people. The Richmond conven-
ton, which is to meet here on the 18th
of May, will not only declare in favor
of the nomination of senators by the
people, but will adopt resolutions de-
manding that the two senators from
Virginia shall commit themselves in
favor of the adoption by the senate of
an amendment to the constitution al
lowing the people to elect the senators
by popular vote.
The Democratic leaders, who are be-
hind the movement in Virginia, are per-
fecting the most thorough organization
to the end that this fight shall be Sue
cessful. The newspapers of the state
are almost unanimous in giving their
approval to the plan of electing and
nominating senators by the people. The
fight here is admitted to be against
Senator Thomas Martin, whose success
sor is to be elected by the legislature
to be chosen in the coming state cam
paign.

Decorative Possibilities in Vines.

[F'rom the Woman's Home Companion I
Vines, indeed, may cover a multitude
of sins-foundations, bare walls, IN
slightly board fences, often covered with
signs, and implanted sheds; vines may
serve as screens and give privacy to
the yard; vines may give a shady nook
in the little corner that has so often
worried us to care for. But, above ALL
vines may make our houses homes in
deed, adding grace and beauty to even
the StatelieSt mansion. There is such
an endless variety of vines, and most of
them are so easily cultivated that they
appeal to the veriest novice or the bus
lest housewife. In planting you may
have all of one kind or choose many
varieties. For quick effects over bal
cony, fence or screen the morning glory
moon flower, nasturtium, Cobaea scan
dens and cypress vine give most pleas
ing effects. For slower and more per-
manent results are the ivies, woodbines
honeysuckles and their kind.

lions to convince him that this vast fer
