 Mr. Mills departure leaves but few beads of departments who were here when Col. s. w. Fordyee was with the road. Nearly all have re- signed and are now with the Pee Gee. It seems that Col. Fordyce Sifnows good things when be sees Ithem.

The cars dashed wildly down the hill. On one eE tEem was brakeman who soon mo- ticed that he was riding a runaway train. Quickly, he turned the brakes: but found it impossible to check she train of cars in their wild flight. He thought it best to jump aud di6' so, escaping unhurt. A few seconds after he left the cars, they crashed into several fiat cars, which weYh standing on the main track. SeveE- al of the couplings were slightly in jured, butno other damage was donna
 The engineer on the following en- g ne soon stopped bis iron horse az U thus averted double collision.

TOWN IN DARKNESS
Such Has Been the Case for the Past
 Several Nights.

For the past several nights, and which, by tAe way, have been rainy and disagreeable ones, our streets have been in utter darkness.
 Several Of our citizens have injured themselves as result of their not knowing where to step. It is impes- sible to see your hand before you and one is compelled to feel or swim his way through the mud and slush, which can be found in abundance upon even the paved streets.
 Several hold-ups have been at- tempted and Mir. Pat Francis was knocked down in the dark on East Sixth avenue with coupling pin n the hands of negro, who escaped arrest.
 Mr. Fred Vining. while en route home on South Main street Tuesday night, fell from the bridge into the lake and was laid up all day Wednes- day with his injuries.
 More serious mishaps will result if this lighting matter is not investi- gated by the proper authorities, and that at once. We are being heavily taxed, but get nothing for our money.

and in Orchard street school are trained teachers and higher paid than are the teachers in other city schools because they are picked teachers. Then there are young women of the senior class of the Normal school going about all the time and helping, so there, is no school in the city where penmanship and drawing are so supervised as in this school. tl
 MT. Fox said that those teachers who were hired did the supervision without supervisor as the other public schools have. That was what he wanted to bring out. MT. Fox said: "Both you and MT Asher brought up claim which I think is unfounded, that is, that if there were no supervisor two copy books year would be needed, whereas with supervisor only one copy book a year is used and that this saving goes towards paying the salary of the super visor. l find that under your predeces- sors, no one remembers a time when more than one copy book was used in a year, nor are more used in the paro- chial schools where there Is no super vision"
 MT henudH-'I Qlu not say that without supervisor there would be a tendency to use more than one book I think there is a saving"
 'How is it that under Superintend- ents Parish and Dutton when there was no supervisor no more books were used?"
 Perhaps they used more paper"
 MT. Fox next spoke of the supern- tendent's power of appointment and dis missal of teachers, a power which could only be overruled by vote of five of the seven members of the board. He thought that it was an autocratic power.
 In reply to this MT Kendall said that this was as the charter provided and that he did not help make the char ter.
 MT. Fox then spoke of Miss Reynolds, the supervisor of primary instruction, and said that when she came here it was as supervisor of elementary science and then at the end of the year she was appointed supervisor of the primary schools. He thought that if it had been known that she was to be an assistant

[ : RUSHING IRON ORE FORWARD.
The Big Cargoes Carried by Vessels on
 the Great Lakes.

the Great Lakes. a
 The lake ships, the best examples of
 which are engaged in the iron ore car
 rying trade, are unique among the ship ping of the world. The boats are very long. with rounded Snds, and no deck is laid on the maindeck beams in the car- go holds The season of navigation is limited by ice to seven or eight months in each year, and during that time an average ore boat will make twenty found trips down and up the one thou sand mile stretch of the lakes, usually making the return trip empty save for water ballast. The fleet, which num- bers several hundred vessels, Is capable of moving in a single season more than eighteen million tons of iron ore. AL most all the vessels could secure car goes of coal for transit up the lakes on the return trips, but such is the anxie- ty of the great iron and steel producing interests to move every ton of raw ma terial possible in the limited season of navigation that the owners prefer to send the ore carriers back lighter rath- CT than to allow the delay necessary to take on and discharge cargoes of coal.
 Inasmuch as the ore is put into the vessels by means of chutes, and is re- moved by means of automatic machine ry, the vessels themselves carry no hoisting machinery, but are in all cases fitted with the greatest possible number of hatohes in order to facilitate the work of loading and unloading. It is possible to load with ore to nearly the full capacity of boat, since coal for fuel may be readily procured at various points in the rivers which connect the lakes. and thus it is unnecessary to give up any great amount of space on board to the storage of fuel.
 The monster type of ore carrying ves- sel which has been developed on the great lakes within the past few years owes its existence to the entrance into the field of the Rockefellers, the Carne- gie company and other great producing interests. Rockefeller's larger and more powerful engined steamers are each able to tow down the lakes two of the largest steel barges on the inland seas. Thus single engine will traverse the entire length of the lakes at an av- craze speed of eleven miles per hour, moving cargoes representing in the ag- gregate fully twenty thousand tons.-'I Engineering and Mining Journal.

THE LAST PUBLIC HEARING

(Continued from First Page.D vision, although some of 1t might be credited to special teaching.
 MT. Fox-"Doesn't Professor Jepson teacheall the time?" s1sft .rf
 "Yes.'
 Isn't he included in the list of special suDervisors?"
 Yes"
 '"Then shouldn't Miss Penny's be so included?"
 ''No."
 well, we won't press that. MT. Ken- dall, do you still maintain that there is a supervisor of penmanship at Dwight school?'
 "No; I thought that there was a teacher in Dwight school giving super vision in penmanship. I find that Miss Hart gives instruction in penmanship to teachers in the normal school who teach it to pupils in the district
 Tt seems to me, then that my state ment that there was no supervisor of penmanship there was true, and that you admit that your statement was er- roneous.
 T thought that Miss Hart went into the Dwight school to supervise, but find that Twas wrong"
 What I wanted to prove was that what I was advocating foc the public schools of New Haven was what pre- vailed in all the model schools of the state. You are expected to visit Dwight school two or three times year, are you not?"
 ''Yes'
 "Is there any supervisor of drawing or of writing in Dwight school?'
 No"
 What Is the arrangement by which Mr Houston the supervisor of writing in the city schools, is allowed to so to West Haven and give instruction in the schools there?"
 .'This year he receives 1,400, $l00 less than he received last year, and by an arrangement which he made with the board of education he is allowed to go to West Haven"
 "By your recommendation" Y
 "Yes."
 ''Isn't that a very unusual thing, to l]ire man under contract and then not to have him put in all bis time?''
 ''The city saves S100 and the penman- ship instruction doesn't suffer by it."
 T am informed that all over the coun- try the average price paid to teacher oc writing is rarely more than S1,200."
 ''That depends on the man you have. MT Fox, did you ever go out into the market to get teacher of penman- ship?" "No." Well, I have, and I know how diffi- cult it is to secure a good instructor" T don't believe that a supervisor of one and pay him $1,400 you ought to have him put in all his time. It seems to me that telling this man to go to West Haven to save $100 is poor econ omy He does not spend more than twenty minutes in one school room in a month The writing of pupils in Dwight | school and in the parocfial schools, | where there is no supervisor of pen manship, is as good as it is in the city | schools where there is supervisor. I | think, therefore, that the claim of those who think that no. supervisor of writing | is needed is we'll founded"
 In reply to this MT. Kendall said that there was no other school in the city where there was so much supervision as in Dwight school. He said that there were two or three teachers in each room there and that members of the senior class who had been instructed by Miss Hart supervised the writing of the pu- plls.

Soldiers Who Stole It Sentenced to Gut Wood to Cook It.
 Private Kennith Fleming, of the Hos pital corps of the Eighteenth infantry. is highly pleased with the Philippine
 climate. He whites to his parents in
 Leavenworth that the trouble will soon
 be over, and that they find the natives
 friendly and asking protection. His let
 ter of recent date tells of a battle, in
 which artillery took part on both sides.
 He tells an entertaining story of steal-
 ing hog This is his story:
 "Our rations were falling a little
 short. and we had strict orders not to steal anything, like chickens, hogs, sc.
 But the temptation was too great. l re-
 sisted, but could not stand it, so I said
 to one of the boys, Come on, let's get 9
 pig The cook said he would cook
 whatever we brought in. Finally we found pig, chased 1t for two hours, but
 could not get 1t and came back for din-
 ner. We went out again and chased
 another until we were tired out, but
 could not get 1t. By that time I was mad, but just then "a big, fat one stuck
 his head out of the brush across the
 way; out came my revolver-'bangv
 The old porker rolled over and grunted. I ran over and pulled him out of the
 brush, and we both grabbed him and started for the company when the ma- jor came rushing down the street, and he gave us fearful raking down. He put us under arrest and told us to leave the hog there, but we dragged it along to the company, with the major on our heels, scolding us constantly He took us to the commanding officer, who scored us and called the company com. mander, and I thought the jig was up. When we got through he sent for the sergeant sof the mess, who came. The commander told the sergeant to make us cut enough wood 10 cook the hog. Thf hog was cooked for supper. The colonel sent for piece and wrote on a slip of paper, Please send enough for the major, too tried my best to get that s.rap of paper, but the cook Kept it, seying that 1t beat anything that he had ever head of, and he had been Tn the service twenty-two years He in terded to keep the paper for a relic. 4 He still has it. and there Is nothing too good for me in Company F, but they spring the hog racket on me whenever they can and that makes the tale of the hog. ."-St Louis Globe-D Democrat.
