Trains poured into the city all day

AS the trains Travelled in sections and
therefore proceeded with unusual care
they were generally behind their sched-
ules. The streets We're filled with
marching detachments and the air fair
ly trembled with music of numberless
brass bands, which escorted the var

ters.
Scarcely a building was without its
SIreamerS or a gorgeous dress of bunt-
ing. Even shop windows We're trimmed
in Masonic emblems and street fakirs,
not to be outdone. painted maltese
ed about. At local headquarters the
opinion was expressed that the con-

HERE'S A NEW ONE.
Insurance Company to Protect Teach
ers Knocks for Admission.

Pedagogues' labor unions are a Mis-
souri, novelty that are about to be
launched in Kansas. There is a relief
scheme attached to the organization Of
an odd nature. Insurance is given a
member to reimburse him for any
losses on his contract in case of sick
ness or death. That is, if a teacher is
taken down with illness, benefits are
paid equal to the wages the teacher
would have received in that time. In
case of death heirs of the insured re-
eeive from the association a funeral
benefit at least equal to the balance re-
manning on the deceased's yearly con-
tract.
The assessment is ~ per cent. per
month. Mr.. Ray, of CarrolltOn, No,
lawyer called at the state superintend
ent of insurance's office today to get a.
license to organize teachers assOcia-
tions of this character in Kansas. AS
sistant Superintendent o. c. Billings
ruled that no license was necessary.
Fraterna1 societies that limit their
membership to one craft or calling are
exempt under the Kansas law. Relief
societies in the different mechanical
trades are thus exempted from taxa
ton.
The teachers are the first of the pro-
fessional ca1lings to take advantage of
this. The wonder is that it was not
thought of before How to provide for
Superannuated teachers has long been
a sympat thetic but troublesome ques-
ton. Now that the teachers have gone
into the labor union business a salts
factory solution N ay be evolved.
Mr.. Ray said the organization had
been in operation only five months. It
has caught favor, and now has over
$500 member

popular kind of petty theft. but this is
the first instance Of late that a car seal
has been broken.

and prize it very highly" He lighted
the cigar and leaned back in his chair
resuming the conversation, when Of
sudden. a large flash of fire leaped from
the end OF his cigar, soaring the young
man quite badly, but fortunately did
not burn him. The young man did not
realize the danger and insisted that the
Topeka gentleman who gave him the
cigar, was true friend to him.

NEGROES BARRED.
Not Allowed to Enlist in the
Cuban Artillery.

New York. Aug 26.-That negroes are
barred from enlistment in the First
Cuban artillery is stated by the Tri-
bune's correspondent at Havana One
hundred and fifty "Cubans'' will be en-
listed. All must be q years old or
more, and white. Negroes will not be
received as candidates for enlistment.
Enlistment will be made similarly as
in the United States and will be for a.
term of two years. One of the first
questions to arise concerning the en-
listn ent is who are "Cubans" within
the terms of the order. In the absence
of General Wood, Acting Military Gov
ernor Scott explained that lin order to
be eligible the candidate must be a
Cuban citizen by birth or option And
new there seems to be some doubt as
to how Cuban citizenship is fixed until
the new consultation goes into effect.
