To Inspect Our Schools.

New York. Nov. 19.-Prof. Foulkner
Stuart, of the British governments
department of education is IN the city
today from Canada. He arrived IN
Canada about a month ago from Eng
land, to inspect thoroughly that coun-
try,s public school system. From here
he will 90 to Atlanta, Charleston, New
Orleans and few of the other prin
cipal southern cities, after which he
will retrun home.
Prof Stuart said today:
The people of Canada enjoy excel
lent public school facilities, but q
great many of the Instructors, male
and female, I found to be Elghly IN
competent. Time, however, will no
doubt greatly improve this deficiency
Prof. Stuart said the. school board
system OF educating the poor in Great
Britain is in danger of being abolish
ed by the present government.
After many pretenses, he said,
the government has admitted that its
one desire in matters educational IS to
destroy this system. which is the only
opportunity open to the children OF
the poor Of gaining free education.
Wbv the school boards should pass
away has not been sufficiently explain
ed. They have served a most useful
purpose in the cause OF eductlon, IN
large towns. They have not proved so
successful in rural districts, however,
and this is partly because they have
been opposed by the parson and the

Money in Pecans.
rom The Paducah Democrat.


It is estimated that one grown pecan
tree will yield $3.50 worth of pecans
every year. A tree will live and bear
for thirty years after reaching matur-
ity. Some day some enterprising
yankee will come to Paducah and buy
few acres of river bottom land or
lake bottom in western Kentucky or
over in southern Illinois and plant
few thousand pecan trees. Then he'll
60 away and come back in a few years
to find himself rich. His crop will
take care of itself, and he will always
be sure of it. 1t is a very off-year',
indeed, when pecans are not plentiful.
The only cost will be to gather the
nuts and prepare them for shipment.

The nut has a thinner hull and is
superior to the Texas or Louisiana

THE ANNUAL BANQUET.

Now York. Nov. l9.-The 133rd an

merce was held at Delmonico this even
mo Covers for 45o were laid in the
main banquet room, which was slmPiy a
though effectively decorated, cnleny
with American flags.
At the table of honor. presided over
by President Morris <. Jesup, were
Ambassador Joseph H. Choate, yohn
Hav. secretary of state: Senator John

miral Albert S. Barker and "; 3.
Ridgely. The professional and busl-
ness circles of the city were well rep
resented in the list OF other guests.
The speechmaking was opened by
President Jesup in very few words.
He then proposed a toast to the
memory of VIM. Mckinley. It was
drink in silence and with all standing.
President Roosevelt's health was then
toasted while the orchestra played,
and the next toast that of King Ed,
ward of England, the British national
anthem was played.
In introducing Secretary Hay, Presl'
dent Jesup proposed toast to our
Diplomacy.' The secretary was warm
ly welcomed by the guests and his
speech at various points, met with
great enthusiasm.
After a tribute to President Mchln-
ley, Mr.. Hay said:
II dare to come to you because you
have asked me, and he would have
wished it, for he held that our per
sonal feelings should never be consld-
cred when they condicted with pub
lie duty. And if I fall immeasurably
below the standard to which he has
accustomed you, the very comparisons
you draw will be tribute to hls
memory,
uThere was time when diplomacy.
was science of intrigue and false
hood. of traps and mines and counter
mines. It may be another instance of
that credulity with which have often
been charged by European critics
when I say that I really believe the
world has moved onward in diplomacy
as in many other matters. In my
experience Of diplomatic life, which
now covers more years than / like to
look mon. and in the far greater rec
ord ofAnerican diplomacy, which I
have read and studied, I can say
without hesitation that we have gener-
ally told squarely what we wanteds an
nouuced early in negotiation what we
were willing to give, and allowed the
other side to accept or reject our
terms. During the time in which |
have been prominently concerned IN
our foreign relations, I can also say
that we have been met by the repre-
sentatives of other powers in the same
spirit of frankness and sincerity.

Two RarshaIs Murdered and Burned
IN THE HOUSE OF MATTHIAS
WHOM THEY WENT TO
ARREST.

Oxford, Miss, Nov. 17.-John
A. Montgomery, deputy United
States marshal pro tenn, repect-
ed citizen of Oxford, and Deputy
United States Marshal Hugh
Montgomery, of Pontotoc, lett
here yesterday for the purpose OF
arresting Will Matthias, an alleged
counterfeiter and moonshiner, who
lives IL miles east of this place.
Early this morning Hugh Mont
eomery's horseiw found stand
ing at the gate of Curdy Hall, a
neighbor Of Matthias, and Mat
thias' house burned to the ground.
Upon further investigation two
partially burned bodies were
found in the ashes of the burned
building, which have been identl-
fed as the remains Of the deputy
marshals. John A. Montgom-
erys horse has not been found
and it is supposed that Matthias
made his escape on him after the
men had been killed and the
house set on FIRE. Matthias wife
was at her fathers, a few miles
from her burned home, and she
says she and her husband left
home yesterday, her husband
leaving the country. Matthias
was indicted last summer tor
making and passing counterfeit
money and was out of Jail upon a
$1,000 bond. The principal wit
ness against him was a negro llv-
inc in the same neighborhood,
who a month ago was assasslnated.
The two Montgomery went out
to arrest Matthias for making
illicit whiskey and it is supposed
that they were prevailed upon to
remain for the night and were
shot while guarding their prison
er. A posse of 80 or 40 OF the
leading citizens Of Oxford went
out to the scene of the murder
this morning and every effort will
be made to capture Matthias.

of giving bounties to men for pursu-
ing their own private business. The
auxiliary cruiser argument, therefore,
is a mere dodge to confuse the public
mind. Great Britain pays some
money in this way, not to build up the
merchant marine, but to strengthen
the navy.
But it is not true, as Senator Nc
Laurin alleges, that ships built abroad
with American money, cannot be used
by the Government in case of war.
Many foreign-built ships were so used
during the Spanish War. All that
was necessary was a special act admit
ting these ships to American registry,
and these acts were finally passed. Il
we had a general law permitting the
American flag to be hoisted over for
eign-built ships, which would put US
in line with every other maritime
country in the world, there would be
no need of such special legislation IN
case of war. But war can be declared
by Congress only. and while in session
Congress can make provision for the
purchase and registry of as many ships
as may be necessary.
Inc law eXcluQ1nS 1OTo1Sn-OuIlG
ships from American registry has had
a fair trial, and our merchant marine
has gone on decreasing ever since the
change from wooden to iron or steel
ships was fully accomplished. Under
this restrictive system our merchant
marine cannot flourish until our
builders furnish ships as cheaply as
others. Many good judges say they
can do SO now, but they prefer to ad-
here to the restrictive system and to
ask for stimulation by bounties. This
system of bounties has failed in
France, and will fail everywhere if it
is the exclusive reliance. Give the
men of America who wish to buy ships
the same privileges that citizens of
other lands enjoy, and American en-
terprise will do the rest.-Louisville
