A Man in Iowa Gets One Cent a
Year for Carrying the Mail.

Year for Carrying the Mail.
A Treasury warrant for I cent was
issued few days ago by the auditor Of
the Postoffiee Department to Frank FL
Lynch to cover his salary for carrying
the United States mails during the past
fiscal year.
Lynch carries the mails from Mineral
Point, Iowa county, Wis to Dodgeville
daily. He drives a stage and makes a
fairly good living from his passenger
and freight traffic. He was afraid some
one would underbid him for carrying
the mail over the route, so year ago
he contracted with the government to
carry the mails for the next four years
for the sum of l cent per year. June
closed the first year of his contract.
The warrant sent Lynch to-day went
through as much red tape as the one
which gives the New York Central
Railroad $36O,OO0 every quarter for
transporting the mails. Lynch has
been offered large sums for the warrant
by relic hunters, and it is believed he
will realize several dollars from it il he
agrees to it's sale.

Yesterday afternoon about half-past

just east of Gastonville, Pa, and as
a result Patrick j. Horan, supervisor

HUGH J. WHITE DEAD.
Passed Away Suddenly at North
Wheeling HopitaI.

Passed Away Suddenly at North
Wheeling Hopital.
The friends of Mr.. Hugh J. Whyte
were shocked last night by the an
nouncement of his sudden death at the
North Wheeling Hospital, where he
was taken two days ago. The primary
cause of his death was erysipelas, and
the immediate cause asphyxiation.
His condition was serious when he was
taken to the hospital and death was
not unexpected by the few persons who
were familiar with his condition.
Mr.. Whyte was married a few years
ago to Miss Dieringer, of Pleasant Val
ley, and lived at No. SO Fifteenth
street He has been engaged in the
real estate and collection business for
number of years. but learned the
printers trade early in life in the
Register composing room. He was
widely known for his ability as box
ing teacher, but his idea of boxing was
as means of self-defense, and he dis
eouraged prize fighting. During re-
cent years he developed tendency
for literary work, and some of his
poems possessed genuine merit.
Mr.. Whyte was of peculiar temper
ament, but was uniformly courteous
and agreeable Ii he had any enemies
it is not likely that they were made SO
by any conduct of his He was very
popular and deservedly so, and his
death will be deeply deplored. Ar
rangements for his funeral had not
been made last night.

DISSENTION PREVALENT
In the Ranks of the Teachers in the
Public Schools.
Claim that the Revival of the Dead
Letter Rule of the Board Ordering
An Examination of Teachers was
Brought About by Lax Methods of
school Official.

All the teachers, generally speaking,
in the ward schools in the city are dis
satisfied with the revival Of the dead
letter rule of the Board Of Eucation,
which provides that all teachers must
pass examinations once in every two
years in order to qualify for their posi-
tons. AS a result four or perhaps five
teachers have resigned. Of this num-
Der three are instructresses in the Clay
school, Third ward, the other two in
question in Washington school, First
ward. The action of Superintendent
Anderson in the matter is a subject of
discussion among the teachers.
a teacher stated yesterday that the
revival of this rule was occasioned by
the fact that a certain commissioner
installed one or two teachers in one Of
the schools who had not been examin-
ed. superintendent Anderson called
in all certificates of examination. These
two teachers could not furnish a GER
tificate. In order that the lax method
OF the commissioner would not
be made public a general examination
was ordered. The teachers wished to
take the examinations every Saturday
in order to complete the subjects grad
ually, but Supt Anderson decided that
they would be conducted the last two
days in June.
Naturally the scholars are the ones
who suffer. The teachers are devoting
every moment possible to brushing up.
so to speak, on the subjects on which
they will be examined
The question of salary is also re-
ceiying its share of discussion. Since
the matter has been preached it has
been recalled that no teacher in the
school has received an advance for
about nine years. AT that time every
one received an advance of one dollar.
The teachers are in favor of general
advance of wages, ranging in accord
ance with the time of service. They
claim that it is not right to pay a raw
teacher the same amount of money
the teachers who have been engaged in
the work for years receive. In the lit
tie town OF Weilsville, Ohio, the teach
ers in the public schools are better
paid than the teachers in this city.
The outcome of the dissentions pre-
vailing at present will be watched with
interest.
