IRELAND NO ARB1rER
But the Archbishop Has Pronounced
Views ON Labor Question.

New York, Aug. 10.-Archbishop ireland
passed through here yesterday on his way
home from the Catholic Total Abstinence
convention at Hartford. He said that the
report that he has been invited to make
efforts tending towards the settlement OF
the strike, or that he had the intention
OF putting himself forward In this con-
nectton was utterly unwarranted and
without foundation. Being further urged
to express any opinion upon strikes in

In common with all citizens. cannot but
deeply deplore occurrences Of this nature. A
strike is always a thing most regretable, and
only under most extraordinary circumstances
may it be countenanced
The effects OF strike weigh especially
upon the working men who through II ara
put out Of employment, and upon their
families. Employers far better than ema
ployes can bear the burdens resulting from
strike: employers suffer large financial loss,
but to them such losses are comparatively

There may yet come a power
full peacemaker with a form Of
compact that will be accepted by
both sides, but for the present
the strike seems inevitable.
Gompers, Statement.

The open letter written by President
Gompers Of the American Federation of
Labor was generally discussed to-day and
construed by each individual according
to his sympathies. The strikers asserted
that it was eminently satisfactory to them
and that it assured them the complete
support Of the federation Opponents of
the strike insisted that there was but lit
tie consolation for the strikers in the
statement. They say that President
Gompers does not approve of the strike,
and stood ready while here to accept and
support any plan for a satisfactory settle
ment. 1t is not yet known here what
steps the federation of labor will take.
All manner of reports as to legal actions
are in circulation and injunctions and
counter-injunctions are being discussed,
but no steps have been taken here yet to
invoke the aid Of the courts by either SIDE
President Shaffer left early to-day for
Newcastle to participate in the great
strike demonstration in progress there.
Reports from Newcastle Indicate that
there will be large crowd in attendance
particularly during the afternoon. Presi-
dent Shaffer will return here late in the
afternoon and go to McKeesport tonight.
He was the principal speaker at the New
castle meeting to-day and will also de-
liver the main address at McKeesport to-
night. He was given an enthusiastic well
come at Newcastle and was loudly cheered
whenever he was seen and recognized.
Secretary Williams was in charge of the
local strike headquarters in the absence
of the chief. He said that he knew moth
ing of any plan for compromise.
Excellent order still prevails through
out this district.
How Many Will Striker
It is believed that accurate figures as
to the number OF the men that obey the
general strike order will not be obtainable
until tomorrow night. With the last turn
nearly all the mills close and remain
closed until tomorrow night, when the
next turn is supposed to commence. The
true test will be furnished by the num-
Der Of men who fail to put In an appear
ance tomorrow night. Thousands will
avow their intentions at the close OF work
to-day, but there are points where senti-
ment is divided and men waver, and
places where the steel corporation has
known strength, and an accurate count
can be made only when the men take
their final stand.
Telegrams from McKeesport announce
mantling of the big Devices Wood plants.
The strikers say that only old machinery
is being removed and that the corpora

There is point on the thermometer
where even etiquette will melt away
Men who have looked upon any degree
of negligeeness as an abomination have
first pitied and then embraced this con-
dition, while women who have hither-
TO scorned to sit in the presence of the
coatless man have come to believe that
a man may be man ''for a. that and a.
that" Yet 1t is to be hoped that some
definite code In regard to coats may
be the outcome of the heated term and
that the sanction of good form may be
given to some sort of masculine airi-
ness of attire. for the worst thing about
the coatless man, especially one who Is
subject to feminine intrusion, Is that
he is in a perpetual state of apology,
and apologies are as heating to the
blood as coats.

A Distinction without a difference

The Utah state court has decided that
Sealing" Is not marrying. 1t is the
belief of the Mormons that, since the
Saviour said that when they shall
rise from the dead they neither marry
nor are given in marriage" it is neces-
sary for persons who wish to remain
married In the next world to be proper
~ united in this and as they assume
that the ordinary marriage Is not per-
formed with reference to eternity they
have invented a ceremony of their own
which they call sealing" A woman
any number of women-may be seal
ed" to a man in this life for eternity.
Commonly this ceremony must be per-
formed in the sealing room" at one Of
the three existing Mormon temples, but
under certain circumstances 1t may be
performed elsewhere. The president of
the church performed such a ceremony
for woman who was supposed to be
on her deathbed. She recovered, out
lived the man to whom she was ''seal-
ed" and sued for a widows rights.
The court now decides that she is not
entitled to them.
This decision enables Mormon to
seal as many wives" as he wishes,
since 1t pronounces the ceremony not
one of marriage. Those who are I'M
initiated In the mysteries of the Latter
Day Saints will hardly be able to ap-
preciate the fine point of difference be-
tween this method and ordinary polyg-
amy.

Teacher. For the Philippines.

Something like 800 American teach
ers. young men and women, are now ON
their why to the Philippines. or soon
will be, to devote their energies to the
instruction of the Fllipinos, who are
said to be eager to acquire the "Ameri-
cano'' education. Under the direction
of Professor Fred w. Atkinson. ap-
pointed by the Taft commission as SUI
perintendent of schools of the Philip
pines, system of instruction is being
devised there similar to our own free
school system. and the field seems to be
ripe for the work of energetic, intelll-
gent and conscientious instructors.
The requirements for teachers in the
archipelago are: They must be gradu-
ates of normal schools or of colleges,
they must have had reasonable expert
ence In school work, they must be phys
ically sound and ut to withstand a trop-
zeal climate, they must be as obedient
as soldiers and gowherever in the archi-
pelago the superintendent of education
may assign them. They are not required
to have any knowledge of the Spanish
language, but it is obvious mat per-
sons of their intelligence will speedily
acquire enough of the native vernacu-
lar, whether Spanish or tribal, to meet
the needs OF ordinary communication.
These teachers are to begin the tremen-
dous task of making English the Ian
guage of Philippine society, literature
and business.
1t is an important work which these
young men and women are to under
take, and upon the faithfulness with
which they discharge their duties de-
ponds in largest measure the future Of
race which is now in a formative pc
Rod of development. Whatever else we
may do for or with the Filipinos, we
can do nothing better for them than to
give them the benefits of a system of
popular education wisely and conscien-
tiously administered.

President Forgan of the First National
bank of Chicago gave the address to the
graduating class of Lake Forest univer-
sity week or SO ago. In this he outlined
the educational qualifications for success

First.-To be able to write legible
hand and to make good figures and place
them correctly.
Second.-To add, subtract, multiply and
divide rapidly and accurately.
Third.-To be able to write a clear
brief, grammatical letter with every word
spelled correctly.
Mr.. Forgan says the young men who
can do all these are rare. He has en-
ployed many boys fresh from the gram
mar and high schools and even from col
leges, and all of them failed in some OF
these simple tests. Ignorance of the
three RS" is always a handicap, he
concludes.

Love to BE Scratched.

Toads are a valuable acquisition to a
greenhouse, for they are always ready
and pleased to dispose Of bug or bee
tie, and their sudden darts invariably
bring down their prey, says Our Dumb
Animals. They can easily be tanned, and
when once they find out that no harm is
meant them their friendliness is extreme.
There are few things more amusing
than to watch a toad submitting to the
operation of a back scratching. He will
at first look somewhat suspiciously at the
twig which you are advancing toward
him. but after two or three passes down
his back his manner undergoes a marked
change; his eyes close with an expression
of infinite rapture, he plants his feet
wider apart, and his body swells out to
nearly double it's ordinary size, as if to
obtain by these means more room for en-
joyment. Thus he will remain until you
make some sudden movement which star
ties him or until he has had as much pet
ting as he wants, when, with a puff of re-
gretful delight, he will reduce himself
to his original dimensions and hop away,
bent once more on the pleasures of the
chase.

DLonre.t stair. In tn. worId

A traveller in China tells The Century
Magazine about his climbing the longest
stairs in the world to reach Tai-schan,
the Holy mountain:
The real ascent begins at a stone portal
at which, according to it's inscription, the
great Confucius himself halted and turn
ed back 2,6C0 years ago, not having had
the strength to climb the 5000 stone
steps leading to the top. Imagine a stair
case leading to the top of Mount Wash
ington! These Ta-schan stairs are by
far the highest in the wide world, for,
taking the number of steps in one story
of ordinary house to be 20, the num-
Der of Tai-schan steps equals 300 sto-
ries.
