a Supposed Dead woman's Escape from
Burial Alive.

Mrs. Christina Hrth Of East st. Louis
narrowly escaped burial alive. She had
been i'll three months and Monday morn

and felt her pulse and applied other tests
and pronounced her dead. The county

cooling board. Cloths saturated with
bleaching fluid were placed over the face
and the body The shroud and clothing
in which she vas to be buried were pre-
pared.
While busy with his preparations to-
ward embalming, the undertaken was
startled by a noise proceeding from the
direction of the corpse. He glanced
hastily, but there was no motion in the
whte-sheeted figure. When he came to
remove the sheet from rne face, however
he noticed that one Of the weights had
fallen off an eyeid In replacing it he
thought that he detected a slight culver

imagination. went about his preparations.
Again the noise and the fallen weight
This time the CULVER in the eye was more
pronounced. There was no heart motion
or breathing that he could detect, and
he was about to inject the fluid when
again ne noticed the culver, and then, to
be thoroughly satisfied, he applied the
most powerful test of life known 10 un-

Cost OF sohoois in Cities.

A shortage in the school fund in ST.
Paul has caused the superintendent OF
the school system in that city to make
a comparison of the cost per pupil with
the similar cost in fourteen other cities.
On the basis of the figures of attend
ance the cost in ST Paul is $220S. Only
two other cities show smaller cost
Kansas City, where the school year is
only nine months long and where the
cost is S20.07, and Milwaukee, where
the salary account alone makes the
cost $21.S7. Several cities run from S24
to sos, while the cost amounts to $37.S0
in Pittsburg and to $40.77 in Denver.
The eastern cities have a much higher
rate than those in the west, Denver eX-
eepted, and there the cost of labor and
fuel is excessive. The figures given
have to do with the entire school sys-
tenn. but the difference is wider when
high schools alone are considered
Boston, with it's suburbs. has twelve
high schools, for which it pays per
capita gate of $3.50 on a salary basis
alone it amounts to S6219. In st. Paul
the total per capita cost in high schools
on the basis of average daily attendance
is S44.36, and out of this $34.91 is ex-
pended for teachers Salaries.-Buffalc

LINCOLN Mns Right.

Mr.. Bryan in his address before the
antitrust conference in Chicago, re-
peats Mr.. Lincoln's warning against
the approach of monarchy:
I'm 1859 Abraham Lincoln wrote a
letter to the Republicans of Boston
who We're celebrating Jefferson's birth
day, and in the course of the letter he
said: The Republican party believes
in the man and the dollar, but in case
of conflict it believes in the man be-
fore the dollar In the early years of
his administration he sent a message
TO Congress, and in that message he
warned his countrymen against the
approach of monarchy. And What was
it that alarmed him? He said 1t was
the attempt to put capital upon an
equal footing with, il not above. labor
in the structure of government, and in
that attempt to put capital even upon
an equal footing with labor in the
structure of government he saw the
approach of monarchy. Lincoln was
right. Whenever you put capital upon
an equal footing with labor or above
labor in the structure of government
you are on the road toward a govern
ment that rests not upon reason, but
upon force"

Gus object lesson is offered by the Sec

at an explanation of favoritism in the

the infinite weakness and lack of def
