MANUAL TRAINING IN PUB
Lie SCHOOLS.

At the beginning Of the pres
ent school year manual training
was introduced into the public
schools of Columbus, Ga. Two
graduates of the Pratt institute,
New York, were engaged to take
charge Of the work in the white
schools, and two graduates of
Booker It. Washington's school
to do like work in the schools of
that city filed with negro chill
dren.
The white people Of Columbus
are very enthusiastic in praise
of the new work. In the schools
three and a half hours each day
are divided between cooking,
sewing, and working in wood.
The sewing extends from the
fifth to the ninth grade ;fhe cook
ing from the seventh to the
ninth, and the woodworking
from the fifth to the ninth grade.
The girls take very readily to
cooking and sewing. After a lit
tie over a months practice some
of the girls who could hardly
thread a needle when they bes
gar, are now very handy,
and are able to render valuable
help to their mothers in the fam
lily sewing. The cooking lessons
have already put an end to some
of the crude ideas practiced IN
the homes. The boys are fully
interested as the girls. Thus far
they have been occupied in ft-
ting up rooms for the girls and
themselves. They have made
tables, closets, shelves, drawers,
anu whatever else was needed.
Their teachers report that their
skill has, in many instances,
been turned to good account in
repairs on their homes. They are
very short Of tools, but the boys
in order to meet their needs, have
bought their own tools, and the
girls have furnished materials for
cooking and sewing.
L is the purpose Of the SUPER
intendent of the Columbus school
to make the new instruction very
practical. The children will be
taught not only manual training,
but the making Of useful articles
the repairing Of buildings, and
as far as possible. whatever work
will help them, when they go
out of school, toward making a
living. The parents are much
encouraged and it is hoped that
n result will be the keeping of
the boys in school to the end of
the course. The school board of
Columbus consists OF excellent
and enterprisiDg meu, and it is
their purpose to make affair trial
in both schools, aud if it be prom
ising to add, as soon as they cor
v~eniently can, work in iron and
leather.

Value of Timber,

Cincinnati Commercial.
The Charleston News and Cour-
Ter says:
An unusually large white oak
log, measuring forty feet in length
and forty two inches in diameter
at the smaller end, was recently
shipped from Savannah to 6
Northern firm. Its value wher
simply sawed into lumber fol-
shipping vas estimated at $240.
A similar log recently sold in
Cincinnati for $500. Smaller ones
have proportionate value. Many
tracts of land bearing trees which
furnish such lumber have beer
sold in the South in very recent
years, however, at the price o.
50 or So, or even less. per acre
1t vas a losing business for the
land owners, and it is 10 be hoped
that those who still own white
oak timber will profit by theil
neighbors' folly.
1t is beginning to dawn upor
the minds of land owners in va.
rious localities that timber in the
tree will draw good interest if lefr
alone. Lands that are well TIM
bered are by no mean plenty, and
every year makes the timber more
valuable. The farmers who have
a forty acre lot, with first growth
of oak thereon, will find that for
ty acres the most valuable part OF
their farms a few years hence,

Ralei III Post.
It is a complete destruction of
the scheme by which the Pritch-
ard-Butler combination hoped to
deceive the people, ignorant
white citizens specially. Their
assurances that this act or that
section is unconstitutional, or
this clause will be "set aside
and the other sections enforced
to the disfranchisement of white
voters, n almost mercilessly
destroyed, while the assertion
that if these calamities should be
brought about it can or will only
be done by the Republicans,
ought to throw Senator Butler
and Messrs. Holtop, Pearson and
Linney into epileptic fits.
The letter is a shell that car
ries death and destruction with it
to those who would defeat the
amendment.

STRIKE HAS
BEEN SETTLED
Boole & Son Forced
to Give In.
FOREMAN BARNES Is 0USTED
UNION MEN WILL FINISH THE
WORK ON TRANSPORTS.
The Trouble Looked at One Time as
Though It Would End in
General Strike on the
Front.
FOREMAN BARNES is OUSTED
UNION MEN WILL FINISH THE
WORK ON TRANSPORTS.

The trouble between Boole & Son and
the Shipwrights' Association has been set
tied by Boole & Son yielding to the de-
mands of the workmen. During yesterday
afternoon the matter threatened to grow
into general strike, as the painters and
calkers Joined forces with the ship
wrights and walked out. The Labor Union
was going to take up the fight, and the
result would have been a general boycott
on BoOle 81 Son.
Foreman Barnes was the cause of all
the strife. Boole employed union men on
all his. work, but Barnes had been black
listed by the Shipwrights' Association fer
some breach of union rules, and the men
him. This was the state of affairs last
Monday, and ever since Boole has been
trying to get men to fill the places of the
strikers. First he CALLED for union men
and offered them extra inducements i'll
order to go to work. Then he advertised
for non-union men, and when they put in
an appearance the calkers and painters
quit work.
Boole & Son do nearly all the work on
the Government transports and there are
two rush jobs on hand just now which
made things very awkward for BOole.
The Leelanaw is being fitted out to carry
mules to Manila and she was to be ready
TO sail next Monday. The United States
auxiliary cruiser Badger is being got
ready to carry the Samoan Commission
ers to .Apia, and she also was to be ready
TO sail on Monday. The strike stopped
work on these vessels, and Captain How
ard, assistant general superintendent of
the transports, mad to step in. He insist
ed on the work being completed, and that
at once, so Boole had to take the only
course out of the dilemma. Barnes disap-
pears from the ships as foreman and
union men will not be asked to work with
him, but he will remain in the employ of
Boole * Son under full pay in some
other capacity.
When the calkers and painters walked
out to join the shipwrights yesterday aft
ernoon things were lively around Main
street wharf. where the Leelanaw is lying
After some skirmishng Boole succeeded
in getting fifteen union men to go down
to the ship. As these approached Nam
street wharf they were met by a delega-
ton of strikers and the situation was eX-
planned to them. They at once joined is
sues with the strikers. Then a non-union
man came along and he was going to
work in spite of all the unions in the
world. President Mcconnell of the Ship
wrights' Association did some quiet
reasoning with him and he decided that
the union men had right on their side and
refused to go to work Then Captain
Howard stepped in and the strike was
over.
Work on the Leelanaw and Badger will
now be rushed night and day and The
chances are both of them will be ready

R. A. GRAHAM'S COUNTER
CLAIM NOT AN OFFSET
JUDGE BAHRS RENDERS A DE-
CISIVE OPINION.
The Court Also Holds That the
Spreckels Note Case Is Purely
Equitable Action.

Judge George II. Bahrs yesterday hand
ed down an opinion in the case of J. y.
Spreckels & Bros. Company against r.
A Graham, in which tts' court holds that
the defendants counter claim to the plain
tifT's action TO foreclose upon pledge
given as security for the payment of
note, amounting TO S523 .I62 .. is manifest
ly no cause OF action upon which he can
recover, or by virtue of which he can Sc
cure any set-on against the plaintiffs
claim and the same should therefore be
dismissed. The court also holds that the
case is purely equitable and consequently
denies Defendants motion for trial of
the action by jury.
In the opinion the court says that the
Eravanen of defendants counterclaim TO
plaintiff's action is that plaintiff wrong
fully permitted fires 10 break out in GER
tain coal mines and permitted the fires to
deVastate the mine; that they wrongfully
removed the machinery therefrom. ana
that the same could not be operated; they
allowed the roof of the mine TO cave in
and thereby cut OF access to the same,
gether. Defendant also alleges that he
was induced 10 make large alterations in
and 10 a certain railroad, entailing
large expenditure of money upon him.
and that he was induced TO make these
changes and incur these expenses
through the representation of plaintiff
that Il would cause the mine 10 be con-
tiuually worked and that the product
railroad. thus furnishing a profitable bust
ness for the railroad for many years TO
come. In thus shutting UP the mine these
avenues of profit We're closed to the de-
fendant, II is alleged, and il is upon these
allegations that the defendant sets up
his counter claim for 500 600 damages.
No stockholder can sue on behalf Of
a corporation-Graham's suit being on be-
half OF the corporation owning the coal
mines in Quesuon-without first alleging
that the directors of that corporation
have been requested to file suit and have
declined 10 do So" continues the opinion.
and no stockholder can file suit at law
for injury done 70 his corporation. The
suit must be filed by the corporation. The
failure 10 make the corporation parties
TO the action is therefore an incurable
defect. The action on hearing is one
against the defendant on his personal
liability, and he cannot by way OF counter
claim onset claims that did not arise out
OF the transactions which formed the
foundation of the plaintiff company's
claim
s Continuing. the court says the allega-
The San Francisco call., 1899-04-21

tons above mentioned are all in the
counter-claim which can be the basis Of
cause of action in defendants counter
claim does not arise out of the transac-
tion set forth in the complaint, nor is 1t
connected with the subject of the action.
therefore it cannot avail the defendant in
the action at bar. For these reasons the
court Is Of opinion that the counter-claim
foregoing views and conclusions dispose
of defendants motion for q jury trial
upon the issues presented in the counter
claim.
Notwithstanding that such is the opin
ion of the court. the Judge reserved his
decision until next Monday, at which time
further argument will be made by coun-
sci on the point raised. after which a de-
cision will be entered.
