The educational rally at the Young

Professor George wv. Twltmyer, the

benefits to be derived from an oduca,-

His address was a plain talk to boys.
logical, but not intended to be eloquent,
as he wished his hearers to follow him
closely. In part he said
The average earning capacity per
man in the following States will show
what education is doing: Massaclau-
sets, t57S; Pennsylvania s420 Della
ware. 1887. These figures are due to
the fact that Massachusetts is almost
exclusively a manufacturing State, snd
the workshops are filled with college
and nigh svlool graduates, men of
trained minds
Delaware is practically an agricul-
tural State. and it lis hardly fair TO base
the figures ON it. Pennsylvania comes
between being both a manufacturing
and agricultural State.
"To show what skilled labor dose
for a man. the instance Of the leather
situation in Pennsylvania is demon
strative. Leather can be shipped from
that State to Massachusetts,, where it
can be converted into shoes and
shipped back, the freight being paid
both ways, for much less money than
they can be manufactured at homeThis
is due to education and skilled labor.
There are today 1000 boys and girls
In Wilmington who ought TO be in
school. who are not.
"A compulsory education would in
the long run moEs than Offset the cost
OF keeping children away. The amount
paid out in fines for those who
run about the city. could be saved, and
after attending school and becoming
proficient IN different trades They could
be in a position to earn a mudh larger
salary than they will otherwise. This is
worthy Of conscientious thought II is
way we can bring our State up to a
standard surpassed by none"

ANOTHER INCREASE
IN SOFT COAL COST
The Price of the Hard Article Is the
Same But Difficult to Get.

Coal took another jump in price to-
day. Soft coal was advanced to SO a
ton for the lump. and IS ton for the
run of mine coal. The prices Of hard
coal are the same. but 1t is almost i'm
possible to get It,
The soft coal dealers are now Having
their innings. and conditions in the BIZ
luminous trade are becoming alarming.
Unless some measure OF relief can be
secured serious results are feared.
The demand is unprecedented and
fer beyond the power of the railroads
to move. There is no staple price
for bituminous coal in any of the East
ern markets. The price for spot coal
is regulated entirely by the needs OF
the buyer and this accounts in a large
measure 70 the wide ange Of prices
ueported. With many dealers price is
no object as they have no coal TO sell

HE HAS TEN THOUSAND FLEAs
Charles ROthschild Gathers Them
from All Quarters of the Globe
for His Collection.

Copyright, 1902. by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Sept. 27.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.) 1.-THE Roth
schilds are all noted as collectors Of strange
things, but Lord Rothschild's second son,
Charles, prides himself on having the larg-
est collection Of leas that was ever brought
together. This strange hobby has been
brought into notice by the fact that some
Polar explorers have just brought him
number OF feas that live on animals within
Artic circles.
Every animal and bird has a particular
kind Of a iea,' he says, enthusiastically.
"and very many OF them have several diff
ferent kinds. So. you see, the flea affords
more diverse material for a collector than
any living creature. l have feas from
every corner Of the world-over 10000 diff
ferent varieties. Whenever an expedition
is about to start for foreign land engage
one of the party to collect specimens Of
ieas from every species Of mammal and
bird that is encountered. The variety is
endless and It affords me as great delight
to find a new flea as any Of my relatives
derive from securing a great masterpiece
Of art" Charles Rothschild is 25 years Of
age, and his elder brother, Walter. is a
noted naturalist. Both have their collec-
tions at Tring Park, Lord Rothschild's

TIRES OF WORLDS PLEASURES
impoverished NObIeman Prefers TO
Work a. a Cobbler when For-

Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Coz
PARIS, Sept 27.-(New York World
ablegram-Special Telegram.)-From the
pleasures of gilded youth to a cobblcr's
bench is the romantic career OF Count Ed
ward Stadios, a member Of one OF the
noblest families of Austria. The some
what unusual moral of the tale is the fact
that in the face of a fresh smile from
hckle fortune he prefers to remain cob
bier.
The affair came about in this way: The
young count, having dissipated his wealth.
was wandering through a forest in
Hungary when he came upon a cobbler
to whom he confessed his poverty. The
man offered him a home and a trade and
the count, accepting, was taken to his
home and taught to make and mend shoes.
One day a man of law, who had been
looking for him a long time, arrived and
told him that by the successive and rapid
deaths Of all Of his male relatives he had
become heir of the immense fortune Of the
Stadios and member of the House of Peers
OF Austria. This sudden prosperity, COM
ing after so many misfortunes, did not
turn the head of the noble cobbler, who,
according to rumor, ordered that simple
hut be built in the forest, and now, having
renounced the vanities of the world, he
lives in this hut, making and mending his
own shoes.
