Brought Closer Together.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11.-Bishop Pot.
ter of New York was the principal
speaker at a meeting of the church asso.
citation for the advancement of labor
held at the ALEXANDRIA theater last night.
Bishop Potter said in part:
"We will never solve the question OF
labor until the organizing minds, the
guiding hands and employing managers
are Identified with che unions with
which the employees are identified.
There should be mutual understanding
between employers and their help, and
both should be animated by common
tie of brotherhood and fealty."

Treatment of Starnmering.

A more scientific study a; ID treat~
ment of stammering is one of the de-
mands of progress and humanity. 1t
has been said that there are more
"speech-hesitants' than there are
blind, mute and insane combined. This
large class of sufferers has been left
in a shameless reconsideration. TIE
affliction is always wide-reaching in
it's influence upon the patients life
and character, and frequently results,
in the most pathetic Of tragedies.
There is reason to believe that proper
attention and treatment would usually
lead to perfect cure. Here is n reform
and a work waiting for wideawake
and progressive school boards and
medical officials interested in our pub
lie schools. Stammerers have quite
as just a claim for public guidance
and help as have those afflicted with
disorders of sight, hearing, etc. 1t is
not sufficiently well known that the
first regular professorship of disorders
of speech in q medical college was es-
tablished in Philadelphia several years.
ago and has in practice demonstrated
the wisdom of those who advocated
it. So far as we know there is not a
second in the world. There should be
a hundred, as the work is in the inter-
ests both of humanity and Of science.

A Puzzled Oriental,

That Western chivalry to women
makes decided impression, and at
the same time somewhat confuses the
mind of the Oriental as to what is the
exact status of the gentler sex in
America, was curiously illustrated the
other day when a diplomat of the Ce-
lestial variety made a most careful
and scrutinizing inspection of the
statue of General Logan recently
erected in Iowa Circle, in this city.
After scanning foc some time and
with evident satisfaction the mounted
figure Of the General, the almond
eyed man with the black silk skirts
and skull cap drew closer and scrutin-
ized the smaller figures in the frieze
around the base Of the pile. \ large
figure Of Minerva seemed to fascinate'
and hold his attention for some time.
What was going on in his mind was
soon apparent, for he hailed an intelli-
gent looking woman who was passing,
and, directing her attention to the.
figure in relief, said in pigeon English:
"Ess zees Madam Logan" "-Washing-

Success of German Steamers.

AS for the serious loss of the Allan
tic express travel, a few words will
explain why this was inevitable. keep
ing in view British environment. The
British steamship lines sailing be-
tween Liverpool and New York con-
vey passengers to and from Britain
only, with her 100000 of people.
The German lines sailing from Bre-
men and Hamburg to New York draw
first from the whole Of Northern Eu-
rope, then touch at Southampton and
draw part of the British travel, and,
not content with this augmentation,
crossing to Cherbourg, they draw

rope. Thus three fine streams OF
travel feed their enormous fast ships;
the 3O0,O00,oOO of Europe are tributary
to them; and homeward from America
to Germany they draw all who wish
to visit or have business with any of
these millions, for the homeward ships
touch also at Cherbourg, Southampton
or Plymouth, and land passengers.
Against this the British lines have
only tributary to them 41,500,ooo of
people who desire passage to New
York, and, returning from America to
Britain, only those Americans who de-
sire to visit the 41,500,000 for pleasure
or business. 1t goes without saying
that the German lines must inevitably
lead in large, fast steamers. But no
cause for pessimism here, because
British shopowners are neither unen-
terprising nor inefficient; they only
show their good sense by recognizing
the situation, and will hold more Of

Miss Mary Lee Conducts n Department In
Pennsylvania Paper.
There are hundreds of women con-

country as literary and dramatic crit

the honor of being the only feminine
city editor belongs to Miss Mary Nj.
Lee, of the Titusville Penn.) Herald.
Her first newspaper work was on the
Titusville World, where she did local
reporting. She has been with the
Herald since 1890. Previous to that
she had done some general work on
the Washington Cd. O. Times. She
reports at the Office at 1 o'clock p. N.
and works steadily from then until 10
or II o'clock at night. From then un-
til the local side of tile paper goes to

she makes herself generally useful

changes, etc. If there is any occasion
to go out and look up story she does
so, no matter how late it may be. She
covers all classes of stories, except
boxing matches, and for this she calls
on some of the men around the office.
On q newspaper in n place the size of

TOWN BOYS THE FARMERS"
Far Loss Quick and Observant Than the
Country Children.

Far Loss Quick and Observant Than the
Country Children.
Principal Thomas W. Boyce, of the
First District school, is of the belief
that city children are the real "farm-
ers," in the matter of observation.
The country cousin has long been
scoffed at for his open-mouthed Won
der at what to his city-bred play.
mates are objects of every day knowl-
edge, and plenty have been the jokes
sprung at the expense Of the country
gawk upon his visits to the city. But
now the tables are turned, and the
city boys and girls may well look out
for their laurels as world-wise young
sters.
"We have been reading Snow
Bound in our eighth grade recently"
said Mr.. Boyce, land it is a matter of
surprise and wonderment to note how
little the children know about farm
life and nature. Some passages which
one would think every intelligent boy
or girl Of fourteen or fifteen years of
age ought to know leave a perfect
blank in the minds of the city scholars.
"Take, for instance, the passage,
THE oxen hooked and lashed their
tails The scholars could not imagine
what hooked meant They thought
that the word hook meant to snatch,
to steal, to grab, to swipe, but not one
associated the word with the tossing
of the horns of the impatient brutes.
The passage describing the well swee-'
like Pisa'S leaning tower was so
much Greek to them. Although they
understood the reference to the lean
ing tower of Pisa, they knew nothing
of the old-fashioned well sweep. The
sun-circled day, portent Of the Storm
they had never seen. They expostu-
lated at believing such thing. You
cannot look at the sum- they said.
1t is too bright. 1t hurts your eyes
'Now 1 venture to say that there Is
not boy in this State who has lived
on q farm to whom the sun-circled
day is not the portent Of storm.
They have noticed it from their child
nonplussed in reading Of the gray
banks of clouds with the rising Of the
sun. The sun they see is over the
housetops through some dining-room
window. 1t is an interesting study
for me to observe how little the city
people are taught to observe nature.
That is where the country children
have the advantage over their city
cousins. s."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

How the Speed of Ships is Measured.

The speed Of a ship is measured by
a log line-a cord knotted every fifty
one feet; 120 Of these lengths make
geographical mile. At one end of the
line is the log, a piece of fiat, light
wood, generally triangular, and
weighted along one edge, so that when
thrown overheard it floats vertically
with its fat face to the ship, and theo-
retically stationary. The number Of
knots in the cord being equal to the
number Of half minutes in an hour, it
follows that as many knots are pass
over the stern every half minute, SO
many geographical il1les-or knots
are being made in an hour.
