EDUCATION is INCREASING
NUMBER WHO ATTEND INSTlTU-
TIONS OF LEARNING.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Abous 81 per
cent. of the total population Of the
United. States attend public schools
and 2 per cent. of the rest attend
private schools, according to the an
nnal report of the commissioner Of
education. The grand total in all
schools, elementary, secondary and
higher public and private, for the
year ended July /, 1900, was 17,O20,0 7O
pupils, an increase Of 2S2,348 over
the previous year. OF this number
the enrolment in public institutions
supported by general and local taxes
was 15,443,462. Counting in special
institutions, such as evening schools,
Indian schools, schools connected
with asylum, reform schools, and 9th
err institutions more or less educa-
tional in their character, increases the
total number by half a million pupils.
The statistics, as interpreted by the
commissioner show a uniform concen.
sus Of public opinion throughout the
nation in favor Of providing second.
airy education at public cost. Public
high schools have increased from
1896 in 1890 to 6,0O5 in 1900.

SLATED FOR
THE CABINET
HENRY c. PAYNE TO BE POST
MASTER GENERAL.
DECLINED AMBASSAD0RSHIP
During MckinIey's First Administra-
ton When He Wanted ! Cab
met Position.
DECLINED AMBASSADORSHIP

Washington, Oct. 16.-One of the
predictions freely made in Washing
ton is that Henry c. Payne, of Wis
consin, vice chairman of the republi-
can national committee, will become
postmaster general some time before
the expiration Of President Roosevelt's
term. Mr.. Payne is high in the conf
dence of the president, whose cam
paign plans he greatly aided while
Colonel Roosevelt was touring the
middle western states in August. His
friends through the west are the pres
ident's friends. While it is reasonably
certain that President Roosevelt has
made no promises, persons who are
in the confidence of the white house
have no doubt that Mr.. Payne will
succeed Charles Emory Smith.
Mr.. Payne was a candidate for post
master general during McKinley's first
term, but it happened that when the
president took up his name for consid-
Grafton, there was a bitter and I'M
compromising factional fight under
way in Wisconsin. Payne's enemies
came to the front with so much docu-
mentary evidence against his fitness
for the job that President Mckinley
did not dare to appoint him. Senator
Hanna made a strong fight for Payne.
He told the president that was the
only appointment he would ask dur
ing the entire Mckinley administra-
ton, but Mckinley turned the Wis
consin mar down. Payne was broken
hearted. He was offered an ambassa-
dorship, but declined it peremptorily.
Now it would appear that he is about
to realize the greatest ambition of
his life.

TWO PEOPLE KILLED ALMOST

Bangor, Maine, Oct. ia terrific
explosion, probably Of gasoline in
the second floor of Nathaniel Ladd's
restaurant on Harlow street this af-
ternoon brought almost immediate
death to Miss Haney, whose apart
ments adjoined, and Mrs. Mary F.
Carrigan, second cook, and fatal burns
to John Barry, waiter. The explosion
wrecked two floors and the falling de-
bris caused. minor injuries to a num-
Der of people.
In the kitchen at the time were
several restaurant employees who got
out safely. Mrs. Carrigan, however,
rushed for the upper staircase, but
was unable to reach it, and was en-
veloped in flames. John Barry rushed
after her, but meeting fire he had
to jump from the window, having been
burned. He died at the hospital. Miss
Haney, who was in her rooms, evil

then burned to death in a minute or

The question as to whom is RESPONSE
BILE for the Cree Indians who roam
about the state is soon to be settled.
The county clerk and recorder of
Flathead county has presented a bill
of $6O2.36 to the attorney general of
the state for the care and mainten-
ance of a band of the Indians who
were suffering from smallpox, after
having been driven from the Flat
head reservation. The bill is to form
the basis of a suit which the attor-
ney general intends to bring against
the general government. Heretofore
the federal authorities have contend
ed that the Crees are not wards of
this government, but properly belong
into Canada. If the same claim is
set up in the suit It is proposed to
bring then the Flathead people will
have to look to Canada for their pay.

369 prisoners, or 61.25 per cent. had
used liquor prior to their confinement.
The use Of the stimulant has ranged
from extreme moderation to excess.
There were 143 of the prisoners who
never used liquor at all. OF the list
there were only SO or 1899 per cent.
who did not use tobacco. There are
1873 of the prisoners who smoke, "a
chew, and IS both chew and smoke.
There are 50 on the list who use to-
bacco in n of the forms, but which
form was not definitely ascertained.
The table shows that most Of the
convicts had had but slight educa-
ton, over 80 per cent. of them having
had less than eight years Of schooling.
There are Al, or ILL per cent. of the
number confined, who have never en-
joyed the privilege of going to school,
while the schooling of ~, or 1926 per
cent. of them, was SO slight or irregu-
lar as to be practically worthless. Four

years; nine, nine years; six, 10 years;
five, II years; "a, - years; and one
IS, one IA, one IS, one 16 and one Is
years.
The table Of nationalities shows that
the United States is responsible for
the birth of a large majority of the
convicts, 237 Of the total number of
the list being born here. Canada con-
tributed Is, Ireland %, England 20,
of the total number, while the remain
der are divided up between almost ev-
cry country on the globe A table of
native states is also given, in which it
is shown that but five of the %convicts
were born in Montana. New York
contributed 81 of the number, heading
the list, while the remainder of the
boys hailed from other state num-
bers ranging from n to Is. 1t is a
remarkable fact that of the number
but u, or less than 20 per cent. serv-
ed sentences in prison before, leaving
2SS who are serving their first sen
tence.
The last subdivision of the table is
the politics of the convicts. The re-
publicans have a plurality over the
other parties in the prison, SO, or 1858
per cent. of the total number, owning
their allegiance to this party. The
democrats have "a voters wearing
stripes, while the populists have but 8.
There are two socialists serving
terms and one nihilist. Of the total
number of 369, 1870, or 48.7S per cent.
have never taken sufficient interest in
the affairs of state to affiliate with any
party.

DATA.
Statistics Concerning Prisoner "Doine
Time" at Deer Lodge.

IIIuC dt OVCI .OVSCs
Statistics upon the sociological con-
dition and other data about the 369
convicts in the state penitentiary at
Deer Lodge have been complied and
are told in a chapter of the annual re-
port of Labor Commissioner Ferguson
that has just been completed.
OF the occupations of the prisoners
laborers are in the majority with a
representation of IS, while AZ were
ranchmen. Several claim to be gentle
men of leisure, and three are bartend-
ers and one a proprietor of a saloon.
OF miners there are 80 and of cow
boys there are 10. OF the three wo-
men in prison one is a dressmaker and
the other two care members of the
demimonde. The remainder have &C.
equations in various crafts and pro-
fessions!s
The religion of the convicts is an
other matter taken up at length in the
table. Almost half of the convicts,
14S out of the 1853, disclaim any reli-
gious influence whatever. OF those
| who do profess to believe in some
faith or claim that they have been
taught some religion, the Catholics
lead with SO, followed by the Metho-
! dists with Al. Next in the point of
numbers, comes the Presbyterians
with 20 and the Lutherans with IS,
followed by the Episcopalians with 16.
In the list there is one Mormon, n
atheist and n Deist, as we'll as three
S~alVationists.
The ages of the convicts show that
there are prisoners Of almost every
age from Is to 80. There are four at
present who claim to be but Is years
of age, and one who is but II. There
are prisoners of every age between
20 and so, the largest single list being
that under the age of "a, with 10 pris-
oners to it's credit. The Oldest pris-
oner in the penitentiary is given at
30 years, while he has two companions
of 50 and rs years respectively.
One hundred and eighty-six, or 8O.41
per cent. of the prisoners never had
the advantage of Sunday school in
struction. Those attending between
the ages of S and II years comprise
$3.50 per cent. of the population OF
the state prison, while 14.09 per cent.
attended between the ages of II and
20 inclusive.
The tables show that 226 of the
