The Best None Too.

Think of the teachers influence up on the pupils lives! Your boy goas tu Sabbath school one hour Week and :s under the care of the day school teachers several hours during each of five days of tbe week. Tn view of this, what kind of teacher do you want for your child? Surely none but the bpst-the best intellect ually and the best in moral charac- ter and common sense, 1 mention common sense because it is such necessary thing for d teacher to have. She should be able to pick out the chi whose physical eondi- tion makes him or her less able to do q hard days work, and to this pu- pil should be put the easier question:
 She should win the confidence of the representative pupil and do all that is possible to help him overcome this condition. she should be quick to discover those children whose pa rents are unable to help them in their studies at home. and, recognizing their harder task, help them the more in school. Said a High School principal to pupil whose father had been dead for five years: Frank, what are you going to do in life?" That was the beginning of a confidence that ripened into love, and the young man now looks back wi tn gratitude in his heart for the man who advised him what to do after graduation, and who used his influence in getting position for him in large mercantile house.

 New York, June 18.-Pnblic schools close in few days, and tue summer vacation for teachers and pupils be- gins. 'sYes. these teacher- won have anything to do now but to idle away their time for two monthsand part, says q representative of that class of people who would lengthen the hours of labor and de- crease the pay of all schools teach CTS. "These teachers ought to work, as other people do, all the year through. Think of it! only five hours work q day during five days in the week. and, besides this sum- mer vacation, they have two or three short vacation during the school year. But to ear them talk, . adds the critic, "one would think they do too little work for the pay they get. ;
 Cannot agree with you. Mir Critic. Think you are wrong In the position you take. Personally. 1 wouldn't shorten the vacation per iod of teachers one hour. Grant you that some teachers get too much pay. and ought to have a vadation from school work for tiity-two weeks in the year, as the place for them is not in the school-room.
 But our talk to-day is about the Conscitntions and hard working teacher. and such a person cannot work during nine months Of the year and he physically able to stand the same strain during the summer months without injury to herself Many teachers throughout the conn- try are now straining every nerve in order to get through the last few daSs of this term, for at the close of the school year they are well-nigh exhausted in mind and body.
 As soon as warm weather begins the pupils are nuch harder to manage. They become restless. and are unable to apply themselves so closely to study, and when the last day of school arrives both teacher and pupil drop their work for a well-earned rest. The pupil has done enough studying for the present. and needs Il change. ard the teacher is unfit to labor on through the summer if she has done her work conscientioasly during the scho | year.

Cut Expenses Somewhere Else.

Curtail expenses in those things which have to do with schools just as little as you possibly can. Be content with nothing less than the best you oan obtain. The best build- ing, the best teachers, the best books. Much of the hope Of this country lies in the good quality oi its school. Let not politics. religious creeds nor fam il! relations influence any commit tee when engaging q teacher 1t is not question of political favor. or religious belief, or of obtaining d po- eition for relattyo. It is to select the person who is best fitted to un- dertake this responsible 1ask of teaching the children of yoar com munitJ. Retain your best teachers just as long as possible, for when q truly good teacher gees from com munity 1t is something to be de ply regretted.

In Order to Obtain Harmony In Chi
cago Festival Arrangements

Chicago, Sept. 27-Charles Truax to-
day resigned as president of the gener-
al committee of the Fall Festival asso-
citation. He issued the following letter:
An open letter to the general commit
tee of the Chicago fall festival:
As it has been stated by the city press
and by those representing the labor or
ganizatiOns of this city that said labor
organization will heartily cooperate to
contribute to the success of all the fea-
lures of our October celebration, pro-
vided 1 will resign my office as preSi-
dent of your committee, deem it to
be my duty to meet this emergency
which now do by rendering without
reserve, my resignation as your chief
executive officer. I assure you of my
earnest cooperation in any way in
which I can be of service to your COM
mittee. AS mark of your regard for
me, ask that you accept this without
comment or discussion so far as relates
to my actions and at once name my
successor that the work of preparation
may proceed without interruption to the
end that the citizens of Chicago may
meet the great responsibility resting
upon them in the discharge of the duties
necessary to the occasion.
The incidents about to transpire in this
city will appear as pages in our his
tory. Our chief executive is soon to
be our guest and he will here meet the
representatives of other nations and
many distinguished citizens of our
country. These facts give to the autumn
festival an international significance,
that on this occasion in my estimation
dWarfs men and committees.
Will you kindly consider this a call
for a special meeting of the general
committee to take place at the Union
League club at 1 o'clock Wednesday,
September q, at which time I will pre-
sent this communication in a formal
way. CHARLES TRUAX

BOON IN HORSES
Started by an Order From England
For "Gunners."

Chicago, Sept. 27.-The Record says:
American horses will drag English am
munition wagons and heavy artillery
over the plains of the TransVaal in the
event Great Britain and the Beers clash
at arms. Orders came from London by
cable yesterday to a firm of horse deal
ers at the stock yards to buy up all the
1.2O0 pound +'gunners'' the western
market afforded and make arrange
ments for immediate shipment. Stress
was laid upon the fact that the animals
were wanted for the impending South
African campaign and the commission
was marked rush and imperative"
The horse market at the yards was
stirred by the news. Telegraphic or
ders were flashed to breeders in Illi-
nois, Missouri and Iowa for reservations
of choice stock. with the expectation
that the first consignment will leave
Chicago for England the latter part of
the week. The specifications that must
be adhered to in the selection of the
artillery horses, dealers say, will make
the filling of such a wholesale order
somewhat difficult of accomplishment
at this time 1t is demanded that the
animals be full made and weigh not
less than 1000 pounds. The prices which
the British government set as a, limit
range from $110 to $125 a head.
One firm declared that the extra high
standard needed would mean a practi-
cal cornering of choice stock if a con-
signment as heavy as 5000 horses was
made.

PORTO RICO's SORROW.
of Natives Yet In starv-
ing Condition.

New York, Sept 27.-Rev. H. P. Nc
Cormick, one of the government in
spectors of charities in Porto Rico, has
written a letter to General 7. J. Nor
gan, corresponding secretary of the
American Baptist Home Mission Soci-
ETY., in which conditions in Porto Rico
and the relief carried on after the hur-
ricane are described at length He says
that the number of persons needing
help rose to $50, 900 and that the greater
number of those lived in the mountains
and inaccessible places Great difficulty
was experienced in reaching the needy
on account of a lack of intelligent, ,prac-
tical cooperation on the part of the
alcaldes of the districts. The board of
charities was hampered in its work by
the conflicting and exaggerated reports
made by local authorities.
DR.. Mccormick describes the difficult
ties at length, but says that efforts
have been made to reach as many as
possible of the alcaldes on horseback
and by boat. The work in general in
cludes the organizing of local relief
juntas, both male and female; the cor
recting OF abuses and the suggesting
of improvements.
The writer says that if the people of
the island were permitted to sell their
coffee sugar and tobacco in the United
States the suffering would be consider
ably lesSened. The deStitution is great

After passing over half the route the
Grand Army halted, formed line, dress

marched by
I wish to add that my only desire has
been to stand for the honor and dignity
of the Grand Army. and know I shall
not be blamed by fair-minded and pat
FiOtic citizens for doing my duty in this
respect as understand it.

of war;
In speaking of the results of the
civil war he said: when the civil war
commenced a few women were en-
ployed at Washington in the govern
ment offices. Women are now employ
ed there in great numbers The women
have possession of the common school

in the profession Some are on the very
border OF state craft and am sure
that in time the Master will open the
way for our wives and daughters into

would make a better statesman than

AMERICAN CAPITAL
Wanted In Porto Rico to Complete an
Unfinished Railroad.

New York, Sept. ga scheme is on
foot to secure American capital for the
completion of the unfinished Porto Ri
can railroad in Porto Rico. Edward
Lauterbach, acting for the interests
now identified with the road, has con-
suited with the authorities at Wash
ingtOn as to the governments willing
ness to adopt the terms of a concession
which the Spanish government granted
in 1882 for the building of the road. The
matter is now being considered.
About 130- miles of the railroad have
already been completed, extending
around the eastern coast of the island
and have been operated since 1892. F'if-
ty-four miles have yet to be built. The
securities of the company are owned
chiefly by French and English citizens.
