TO FAST FOR THREE DAYS.
Unusual Evidence Of Affection and
Attachment to Il BcncfRctress.

An evidence OF unusual affection and
attachment to their benefactress and
friend in sickness and need was placed
on record by the Junior Republic. An
napolis Junction, Saturday last.
\ few months ago the settlement was
quaraGtined on account of scarlet fever
being prevalent in some of the build
ings. Miss Peachell. trained nurse from,
the Deaconess Home. at the Sibley Hos
pital. volunteered her services at the
stricken settlement, and endeared herself
to the little sufferers and their friends
by her kindness and loving care.
Patriotic Parting Scene.
The sick recovered and Miss Peachell
left. 1t was very pathetic scene when
she took leave of the juniors. They cried
and some clung to her dress.
Last Saturday evening the juniors held
a meeting at which 1t was unanimously
resolved not to eat anything for three
days, and to notify Miss Peachen of the
fact and advise her that the action was
taken as a proof of the love and esteem
in which she was held by them. Their
thanks were also expressed in the reSo-
lutions in arectionate terms.
Miss Peachell dearly treasures the doc
ument which contains these sentiments
OF gratitude, love, and esteem.
Could Not Withstand Hunger.
When breakfast and dinner were served
the following day the pledgers thought
OF the vow they had taken the night be-
fore and did not touch the tempting Sun
day meals. But youngsters, they say, are
always hungry. Supper time came, and
with it the steaming tea and cakes and
other dainties.
One Junior could not Withstand the
temptation and he made a bold break
for the supper table. He was not alone,
however, as i'll an instant he was joined
by his comrades. They unanimously de-
clared that they were sincere when they
passed the resolution to fast, but that
they could not overcome the strong argu-
ment Of their stomaChs.

BOARD OF EDUCATION ACTS.
Next Congressional BudGct of Esti-
mates to Contain the Important
Item-GrowinG Sentiment in Favor
of LOng-Deinyed Measure Destined
to Iencft Educators.

Tardy recognition has at last been paid
to the interests of the teachers in the
public schools of Washington who have
given the best years of their life to edu-
Cational service
In the next budget of estimates sent to
Congress by the Board of Education there
will, if resolution submitted at the
meeting of the Board of Education last
night is adopted. be included an item for
the establishment of pension fund for
teachers of the public schools.
Mrs. Francis Resolution.
growing sentiment that provision
should be made for the superannuated
teachers resulted in the presentation at
the meeting of the Board of Education
last night at Franklin Schools of the fol-
lowing resolution by Mrs. Francis. which
was referred to the proper committee for
considerations:
Whereas it is a fact that many of
our teachers have served theh public
schools faithfully for many years. some
probably as long as thirty or thirty five
years, giving the best period of their man
mood and womanhood to its service. max
ing all OF their interests Subscrvient to
their chosen work, and are now old and
feeble utterly unfit for the daily demands
upon their strength and nerves. yet feel
compelled to keep up the struggle for
existence, 1T seems to me that, in view
OF their faithfulness and loyalty il would
be along humanitarian and progressive
lines If we should pension cur teachers.
Advisable from an Economic View.
From an economic point OF view such
step would be laudable, since it is a
fact that many are now paid for services
which they are physically unable to rem
der properly.
Therefore I hereby recommend that
pension fu-d for teachers, the amount
and apnOTtionment of same to be de-
terminedi by the Ways and Means Com
mittee, be asked for in our next esti-
mates for schools"
New Teachers Appointed.
The following appointments of teach
ers were. announced last night: Miss
Marie Jordan, substitute kindergarten
teacher; Miss Eva l. Steward, substitute
music teacher; Miss Margery E. Smith,
substitute sewing teacher for the ninth,

TRADE WITH PORTO RICO
Great Increase Since the End of the
Spanish War,

Commerce between the United States and
Porto Rico is increasing with phenomenal
rap1dity, especially since the removal of
all tariff restrictions in July of last year
Our purchases from Porto Rico are nearly
three times as great as the average dur
ing the closing five years of Spanish rule
in the island, while the shipments from
the United States to Porto Rico are five
times as great as the average during the
five years preceding the termination of
Spanish rule. The receipts of merchan-
disc from Porto Rico at the ports of the
United States now range beteween five and
six millions annually, and the shipments
to Porto Rico, which were about seven
million dollars in the last fiscal year, seem
likely to be ten millions in the present
fiscal year, ending June 80
This rapid growth in the movements of
commerce between the ports of the United
States and Porto Rico Is presented by
statement just prepared by the treasury
bureau of statistics, which shows that tie
shipments OF domestic merchandise from
the United States to Porto Rico in the
eight months ending with February
amounted to Sc, Ss7, 052. Indicating that for
the full fiscal year the total shipments of
domestic and foreign goods from the ports
of the United States to Porto Rico will
aggregate about $10,0O0,OOO.
The exports from the United States to
Porto Rico during the five years ending
annum, and thus justify the assertion that
our shipments of merchandise during the
present year to Porto Rico seem likely
to be as much as in the entire five years
ending with 1898.
Over four-fifths of the merchandise now
brought into Porto Rico is drawn from
the United States. and a little over one
half Of the merchandise shipped from that
island is sent to the United States The
total value of goods shipped from the
island in the eight months ending with
February was s5.7S7.619, and of this sum
2oS, or 81 per cent was to the United
States. The total value of the merchant
disc received into the island during the
same period was $s,41s,O7S. of which So
SS7, 052, or 80 per cent, was from the United
States.
The following table shows the value of
the principal articles shipped from the
United States to Porto Rico in the eight
months ending with, February. 1902, com
months Of the preceding year.

The Plumbers HELPER.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your issue of the 18th you publish a
letter from one signing himself Justice, pur-
porting to state facts regarding the plumb
er's helper. Now, Justices so-called facts
are entirely untrue, as any helper will de-
clare. If the helper We're employed for
three years only to hand the plumber tools,
the plumbers would not have this fight on
their hands now, as the boss would be the
first to object to hiring a boy for this purpose
alone. Does it seem reasonable that bust
ness men would pay Sc per week to a helper
to hand plumber tools. hold pipes, rush
this kind of help they want for $3.50 or s.
per week? When you see an lad" for
plumbers helpers nothing but experienced
helpers are wanted. The helper is placed in
a shop where the apprentice is already. and
instead Of serving three years even five
years, he sometimes serves ten or fifteen
years, as he has to wait until the regular
apprentice finishes his time before he can
begin his. Then the boss makes him serve
his full five years. The truth is, the helper
is hired to do what is called the roughing- in
the regular apprentice. who cannot object
to him using tools, as plumber would if
he were on the job. Then the boss will pos
do the finishing up, il he is not too busy to
do it himself Thus the poor helper gets
knowledge of only one part Of the trade.
These helpers continue in this old rut until
they despair of ever becoming journeymen.
until they finally rebel and start out as
plumbers with about one-half the knowl-
edge they ought to have. These are the
men that can only get work in the rush
season, as they cannot hold up their end
with a good mechanic, SO are only en-
ployed when no one else can be secured.
So. not being able to get work as Journey
men, they do the next best thing and open
small shop for themselves and take the
jobbing trade and real estate work from
their late bosses.
Justice surely does not think that the
bosses are taking the boys side Of this
