At the house where she was visiting

= mere tot OF the death of a relative
When she had finished the little girl
looked up at her and innoeently asked.
"Who shot her?''

A statement just issued by the Sec
retary OF State Kinney shows that
court business in Ohio is on the de-
cline.
During the past year the number Of
cases pending in the Circuit Courts
of the state were 3,l61, as compared
with 3,441 for the year preceding. The
cases taken from the Circuit to the
Supreme Court numbered 259, as com
pared with 80 for the preceding year
In the Common Pleas Courts the
falling OFF in litigation is very mark
ed. During the year there were 55,23l
cases in this branch of the courts,
while the year before there were H.
22O.
In days OF prosperity people have no
time for awsuits-litigation is one OF
the many evil products of depression.

The Leader appreciates in full meas.

The Leader appreciates in full meas
ure the many favorable comments that
are being made with reference to our
complete telegraphic news service. The
people know a good thing when they
see it, and it is net necessary TO tell
them that by reading the Leader they
get full account of all happenings up
TO three O'Clock in the morning, and
they also know that to depend upon
any other source is running the risk of
getting very brief, inaccurate and
garbled account twelve hours old, or
probably even worse than that-not
getting it at all.

que where nothing burt "Stout" is sold,
and couple of Irish whisky firms have
exhibits. But there is little else and
absolutely nothing BIZ which one could
guess that Ireland was an agricultural
country with fertile soil and a strong
and brainy population. One might
surely expect dairy farming exhibits of
some scrl some inventions in appli-
ances used in agricultural Industries,
something new in bee culture, fishing
tackle, sporting apparatus? No, moth
ing of the kind. Linen from the more
industrious North, and whiskey and
beer to represent the rest of Ireland
that is the Irish contribution.

there will be no unnecessary delay in

now that all arrangements have been

The Manual Training School.

Mr.. " alter B. Hayson, who has for
years given excellent service as an
instructor in the Washington High
School, is being urged by a host OF
friends for the principalship Of the Col'
oIed Manual Training School soon to
be established and for which liberal
appropriation has already bsen made
by Congress. Mr.. Rsyson is a scholar
and gentleman and possesses quallfi
cations for such post that cannot be
doubted by those who know him. He
is an original advocate for the desirable
ity Of industrial training for the Afro
American youth and besides thorough
mental equipment he would bring to
such a school personal interest and
enthusiasm that would guarantee it's
success from the start. Mr.. Hsyson
would make a most acceptable princi'
pal and we should like to see him ap-
pointed.
