Frank j. Black, mine hD-t If Hotel
Mcconnell, was installed Monday even
ing rs Captain of Phil Kcarncy Camp
No. 36, 5. Of V. in this place. His faith
er, Thomas Black, belonged to the l56th
Pennsylvania Volunteers during the
civil war. The new captain has not
only been an active member of Phil
Kearney Camp II number Of years, but
has also been one of our most energetic
citizens. Any worthy enterprise pro-
posed for Reyuoldsville always receives
the support Of Mr.. Black. In the past
twenty years he has been actively in
terested in every undertaking for the
promotion OF the welfare Of this COM
munity, and for these reasons we take
this opportunity to publish his picture
and short sketch Of his life.
Mr.. Black was born in Armstrong
county, Pa. His parents moved to
Reynodsville n qua. ter Of century
ago. When thirteen years old he en-
barked in business for himself us deal
er in books, stationery, cigars, etc. Be-
ing ambitious and energetic he not only
met with success in his first undertake
ing but has ever since been successful.
He continued the store business ten
years. However. for four years prior TO
disposing of his stock, he also engaged
in the newspaper business, publishing

II is safe to assert that in no field of
human occupation is the rate of pay SO
low in proportion to the amount of
brain and energy required as in that OF
school teaching We published recent
ly the leading facts presented in the
annual report Of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction, which showed
among other things, that the average
salary paid to male teachers in Penn
sylvania is $42,6 per month and the
average salary Of female teachers s3s.45
per month. When it is remembered
that in no case are these salaries paid
for more than nine months out Of the
year, and in many cases for not over six
months, the wonder is that intelligent
mon and women-and most of our pub
lie teachers are entitled to be classed as
such-can be induced to devote their
time TO such work. But the worst
phase of the matter is that the past
year the average salary of male teach
ers has been decreased Sl.03 per month,
while the average for female teachers
has increased only "a cents per month
in the whole State and has actually de-
creased 80 per cent in that portion of
the State exclusive Of Philadelphia
Altoona Gazette. We believe that school
boards should economlze and save the
taxpayers money, but we don't believe
it is wise to try to cut down expenses by
paying teachers small salaries. No
school board should pay teacher less
than $4,000 a month, and then none but
good teachers should be hired. We
believe there are persons teaching
school in this Commonwealth that
are better fitted to drive mules.
Such teachers are dear at any price,
in fact they are robbing boys and
girls of their opportunity of getting an
education. The young man or lady
who prepare themselves to be good
school teachers deserve to be encour-
aged by receiving good wages. 1t is To
be hoped that the school boards will
hereafter increase instead of decrease
teachers wages.

Folks whose lives are prolonged far

tial habitation become subjects Of uni
versal interest, A Pennsylvania paper
tells Of an old colored lady living up
among the Alleghenies who was boru
1872 years ago and was once house
girl in the house Of George Washing
too. The strangest thing about these
who have long since passed the cen.
fury mark IS that nearly all Of them

Of his country. Our esteemed friend
Nose Mattingly, besides being the best
miller in western Kentucky, is also
capital story teller, tells US Of an old
lady living in Spencer county, In
diana, by the name of Hannah Skaggs,
who is doubtless the Oldest living hu-
man being in the world. Aunt Han
nah is also a colored lady, but she
never belonged to GeorgeW Washington
Mr.. Mattingiy has known aunt Han
nah well since his boyhood and say;
while she does not know her age she il
able to recite from memory certain
events in history that gives her q
period Of experience dating back al
least a couple Of centuries. Aunt
Hannah says that during Washigton's
memorable winter at Valley Forge
one of her grsndsons made daily tnpt
into camp with cart load of parsnips
and pumpkins for the soldiers. She
also distinctly remembers seeing the
acorn fall from which the charter osl
sprung, and says that the mellow tones
of old liberty bell that famous night
still linger In her ears a. the music Of
yesterday. Aunt Hannah is still hale
and hearty and does most Of tn,

The following points in connection
with the examination OF the Spanish
ships are emphasized by Lieut.. FL
lott:
First-The side OF iron steel built
cruisers do not arrest projectiles
enought to explode them
Second-The incendiary effect OF
bursting eight.inch sells Is great, and
far greater than would seem proper
tionate to that OF lower calibers.
Third--At ranges over 1880 yards
the gun shields OF cruisers are in no
sense a protection. but insure the an
Inhalation OF the guns crew and the
disabling Of the gun If struck by a
large projectile.
Fourth-Warships Of the present

combat by conaagratiou and the de-
struction Of their personnel before
they are sunk by gun fire.

Detailed Report of Ma
Mia Bay Shooting.
Every Vessel OF the Enemy's
Fleet Was Fairly Rlddled
Before Being Sunk.

Washington, April 4 Lieut. John
NJ. Elliott. the intelligence Office Of
the cruiser Baltimore. has forwarded
to the Navy Department under date
OF January 1. 1899, report on the ef-
fects Of the gun FIRE OF Dewey's feet
upon the Spanish war vessels In the
battle Of Manila. The report Is based
upon a personal examination Of all
the vessels. personal conversations
with officers aboard aud extracts from
Admiral Montejo's official report. 1t
describes In detail the effect OF every
shot from the American feet and
proves that Montojo's vessels were
riddled by perfect storm of shot and
shell from the American guns. There
was 4 much larger percentage Of hits
at Manila than at Santiago. This is
accounted for by the fact that Devey's
feet made a deliberate attack with
most Of the euemy's ships at rest,
while the appearance of Cervera's
feet at Santiago was unexpected. and
II was a running fight. Lieut. Elliott
makes the following summary of the
number and sire Of the shots which
struck each Of the Spanish vessels:
Cristins, Eve inch, Eve S inch and
thirteen other large shell; seven 6
Founders and nine other projectiles.
Castillo, two 6 inch, twelve S inch,
four other large shell; three 6 Founders
and sixteen other small shell. Sur.
vivors also tell OF three s inch shells
which burst on the orion deck forward
amidship and aft, causing fires tina,
could not be controlled. Don Antonis
de Ulloa, tour 8 inch, three 6 inch;
one s inch and fourteen other large
shell; ten S Founders and one Other
small shell. Don Juan de Austria.
two s inch or s inch; four S inch. Eve
s Founders and two other small shell.
Isla de Luzon. three hits before she
retired behind the arsenal and was
sunk by her own crew. Isls de Cuba,
to which Montejo transferred his Gag
after the Christina was abandoned,
four Founders and one OF unknown
caliber. (She. too, was sunk by the
Spaniards.) Marques del Duero, one
8 inch, one inch and three pound
ers. Velasco. she took no part in the
action, but was hit by a stray shell
and was sunk by the Spaniards.
Gen. Lazo. took no part In the ems
gageuent, and was exploded BY the
Spaniards. The Argos was also out
of the fight, but was struck by large
shell and was scuttled by the Span.
iards. The total number OF hits OBJ.
servable was I4I, but there were
doubtless many others, especially Of
small caliber. through the rigging,
and burned superstructure Of the
ships.
After paiustaking inquiry, Lieut..
Elliott makes the following report Of
casualties:
