EDUCATION IN PORTO RICO.

The education of Porto Ricans has
been grave problem, and probably no
one has shown more energy and execu-
tive ability than NJ, G. Brumbaugh the
Commissioner of Education for the ISL
and. In a letter recently published in
the New York Sun this gentleman gives
an account of his work, which will be
of interest to educators on these ISL
ands. 1t will be noted that fourth
of the revenue of Porto Rico has been
devoted to public instruction, The
budget for 1900 was $500 OOO for 1901 was
100000. But Mr. Brumbaugh had bet
ter tell his tale in his own words:
Il. We maintain school in Porto
Rico for nine months, /. e., the average
school year is nine months This is
as high as any State in the Union, 1
think.

1t must have been an exciting voyage,
that of the Roanoke, with it's cargo of
coal on fire. 1t seems that science can
do nothing for the prevention of spon-
taneOus combustion in coal. Many a
ship and many a crew has been lost
through this kind of accident The
scientific men have a theory as to how
the accident happens, but they can
supply no preventive. There is money
ahead of the man who can find out the
way to prevent the spontaneous COM
bustion of coal cargoes.

A number of complaints have been
made that conductors on the Rapid
Transit cars do not look carefully
enough to see whether passengers are
on the car before they ring the bell to
go ahead. Several cases have occurred
in which women and children who
were getting on the cars have been
thrown to the ground.

IT, as is stated Commander Tilley has

Be Thankful

We all have something to be
thankful for.
Do you ever stop to think how
much better off you are than
the average person in any other
part of the world.
Abe there many of us hungry
and begging for employment?
Do we have to look forward
with dread to the cold winter,
which takes all we have saved
in the summer, to keep us from
freezing?
How about the neat little
home you occupy, with the
beautiful open-air life?
Some of us may feel blue this
year because we foolishly
speculated, but do not let that
discourage you. 1t was an ex-
pensive lession, but you will be
more careful in the future.
With your family and friends
around you next Thursday you
will require a few more articles
for your table, such as Meat
Dishes, Plates, Cups and Sau-
GERS, Tumblers, Beer and Wine
Glasses, Carvers, Knives and
Forks, Spoons, etc.
Whether you are rich or poor,
we can supply your wants to
your entire satisfaction.

NOT YET SETTLED.
Believed, However, Strike Will Soon Re Over

PittsburK, Sept. LA settlement of tue steel strike was looked for today. It did not materialize bat that it IS near at hand is generally conceded. The report that. President Schwab had put a time limit on his proposition to the Amalga- mated men was denied in official circles today. The only thing that was not sta- ted in the pr roposition was that the long CT the strikers held off from the peace negotiations the more idle mills will De started. and the lees union mills would be found on--the List when final steps were taken to end the struggle, Every started since the strike began is to re- main non-union while these still idle when the agreement is reached will be allowed to remain union and under Amalgamated influence.
 All day the Executive Board of the Amalgamated remained in session. At 6 o'clock President Shaffer announced that there had been no settlement of the strike. From the earnestness of the dis cussion of the board it was apparent. however that some unusual effort was being made to reach conclusion of the disastrous struggle and it is again con- hdently reported that Shaffer said in connection with a talk of the settlement of the strike there was a general inn pression going abroad that the Amalga- contest This was far from true The men in the organization had not fairly got started in the fight yet and many of them had scarcely realized that the strike was on. He deplored the story that the attempted assassination of Pres ident Mckinley would have the effect of hasteninR settlement of the trouble

THE SANCY DIAMOND.
This Magnificent Jewel VIII he Owned b
Pauline Aston.

This Magnificent Jewel VIII BE Owned by
| Pauline Astor-
In the ordinary course of events Miss
Pauline Astor will some day become
possessor of the most famous and mag
nificent diamond owned outside of a
crown treasure. The gem in question is
the world famous Sancy diamond, owned
. by her father, and were it to appear
among the jewels worn at any court
function or royal drawing room it would
entirely throw into the shade every 9th
er gem there except the Kohinoor,
which the queen always wears on state
| occasions as brooch.
The Sancy is stone which is pos
sessed of a remarkable history. Weigh
ing about 81 carats, it at one time
formed part of the crown jewels of
Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy,
and on his death III battle IN Switzer-
land was found set either in his helmet
or sword hilt. The Swiss sold it to the
French king of the dar, and from that
time forth it became one of the crown
jewels of France.
1t disappeared at the time of the revo-
luton, reappeared at the restoration
and at the time of the second revolu-
ton in 1880 passed by purchase into
the possession of Anatole Demidoff, the
Muscovite millionaire. 1t was worn for
time by Demidoff's wife, Princess
Mathilde Bonaparte, but he took it
from her before their separation and
then bequeathed it to his nephew, Paul
DemidOff. The latter sold it in the six
ties for the sum of $500, 600, a ridicu-
lously small price, to the late Sir
Jamsetjee Jejeehobhoy, the Parsee mil
liOnaire and philanthropist of Bombay.
After his demise his heirs put it once
more in the market, and it was pur-
chased by William Waldorf Astor by
private contract, no mention being made
of the price paid. Philadelphia Times.

Survived Them All.
A hale and hearty travelling man with
pink skin and white hair-a condition
of complexion which, by the way, not
every travelling man lives to reach-was
renewing his youth with a party of
young and festive drummers. Drinks
were going round freely, and when one
of the "boys" turned down his glass
there was considerable remonstrance on
the part OF his companions at his refus-
al to have lust one more.
The white haired man quietly cut the
discussion short by saying, THAT re-

chair. at was long time ago." said
he, land it was in the old American
House in this city. There were five
young men seated in a room, just as we
are here tonight, only they were all feel

old man around to bore them with a
story. But along about midnight one Of
the party turned down his glass just as
my young friend here has done. He said
he had had enough, and goodness knows
he had. His determination was greeted
steadily declined, however, though the
wine was brought and set before him,
but the taunts and innuendoes of his
comrades finally exasperated him so that
he exclaimed rather petulantly, but half
in fun, We'll, boys, I'll join you once
more if you will drink to an early grave
for me-. The toast was proposed uproar-
iously and drank standing But some
how after that the fun was not so furi-

seemed to half realize that TO drink TO a

after all, and one by one they made ex-
cuses and went off to bed. -

had refused to "have another" with
