SCHOOL TEACHERS UNION.
Efforts to Organize Pedagogues of
Two States.

teachers of Illinois ana an equal num-
Der of Missouri may be organized into
unions resembling those of the musi-
clans and other crafts. with representa-
ton in the councils of the American
Federation of Labor. Miss Margaret A.
Healey of Chicago, who was the heroine
in the fight for raising the assessments
in Chicago so that a sufficient amount
of revenue would be produced to run the
schools for a regular term of ten
months, will be in East st. Louis soon
and commence opera lions on the forma-
ton of unions. She will attend the meet

day, December 13, and deliver an ad-

the idea of compelling the board of re-
view of Cook county to raise the assess
ments of number of corporations. The
lady has now commenced proceedings to
compel the Chicago school board to pay
to the teachers the amount of the sal
aries which they lost in consequence
of the failure of the board to pay them
when the schools were not run the full
on a decision which states that the
board is entitled to certain taxes coli
lected from corporations. =
Miss Healey is an arden worker in the
interests of the teachers and 1t is be-
lieved that nearly every teacher in
southern Illinois will attend the meeting
on December 13 to hear her.
An East ST. Louis male teacher yes
terday stated that he was in favor of
forming the union. The teachers, he
said. had organizations. but in them the
personal interests of the teacher were
never considered. They only discussed
matters which pertained to the welfare
and advancement of the children under
their charge. He could see no reason,
he said, why the teachers should not
protect themselves from boards of edu-
cation in the country districts who
compel teachers to work for a pittance
on the threat that if they do not accept
others can be found who would work
for the amount offered. The teacher
said that the organiza ton could do no
harm in places like East ST. Louis,
where good salaries are paid and where
the board looks out for the interests OF
teachers as well other members of
the community. He further believed
that it would be the means of wedding
out certain teachers who failed to do
good work
After visiting East ST Louis and
southern Illinois, it is announced that
Miss Healey will visit several cities in
Missouri and form unions that will be-

present. for they have been the foremost
advocates of measures that would correct
it. In fact, they did find way to correct
1t for more than nine years, and until or
dered to discontinue that practice about
year ago.
On the afternoon referred to one of the
discharged prisoners, a sailor, went forth
from the yard wearing an undersuit a
pair of shoes and white duck cap, the
total of all his worldly possessions after
his loEg confinement His home is in a
distant part of the country. That same
night at one of the big railroad stations q
master-at-arms OF one of the ships of the
yard saw the man. The uniform attracted
his attention; he thought that the man
must be either a deserter or an escaped
prisoner. As he watched he saw. what he
believed to be an attempt on the part of
the man to pick the pocket of a woman.
He jumped for the man, intent on pre-
serving the reputation and honor OF the
service The man vigorously resented his
seizure, but the maSter-at-arms was OBJ
durate. The released prisoner finally went
to the navy yard and there mis- right TO
be at large was established. He denied
that he was trying to pick pockets, but
declared that if such had been the case II
states had deliberately and inhumaneIy
put him in position that he might be
forced to commit some crime to get a
place to sleep or else starve ami freeze in
the streets.
All states he said, took pains. to provide
their release from prison, but the United
States turned men punished for trivial mil
itary offenses adrift to starve or else do
something desperate if they could nor find
some charity to help them. The man was
again released the next day with suffi-
Client money subscribed to enable him to
get home and have enough to eat on the
way.
The case effectively again calls attention
to the danger and inhumanity of sending
out men penniless and has aroused 4 de-
termination that the matter must be cor
rected. The case also brought out the fact
that an officer at the nevy yard has Sc
cured the privilege to draft a local
charity fund in such cases and that he has
quietly done so for some of the -Qen when
he has known the facts. That Such has
to be done is humiliating. even to the man
who has secured the privilege but has TO
be resorted to for the good done.

OVER PRECIPICE.
Buck Lifted Them With Antlers and
Tossed Them Backward.

Susquehanna, Pa, Dec. 6.-"Bill'' Neu-

ton attracted by a deep baying. and
recognizing the sounds as coming from
savage dogs, he ran rapidly to the top
of neighboring hill, which command
ed an excellent view of distant falls, as
also of the SUR ounding country.
Bill has scarcely reached the top. OF
the hill when he saw, dashing along on
a ridge, a magnificent buck, chased by
a dozen or more mountain dogs The
race had evidently been on for some
time, for the buck appeared to be about
exhausted. and the dogs were not in the
best condition.
On swept the pursued and the pursu-
ers, every bound bringing the dogs near
er the launches of the tired buck Sud
denly the buck changed his course and
plunged down the side of the ridge,
making straight for the falls
Overhanging the edge of the stream,
and towering directly above the pool at
the foot of the falls. was a huge rock.
To this rock the buck made his way,
and planting himself within a few feet
of the edge, and with lowering antlels
awaited the attack.
He did not have to wait long. The
dogs came with q rush and hurled them
selves at their prey. First one and then
another dog was caught in the buck S
antlers and sent bowling into the abyss
below.
Just when the fight was hottest the
rock or ledge upon which the battle was
being fought suddenly gave way with
crash and the combatants were drop
ped into the water and rocks at the floor
of the falls, bruised and bleeding bodies
were swept on down the rapid stream.

PRAYER FOR FEE LEGAL.
Doesn't Constitute Medical Treat
ment, Says Ohio Judge.

Columbus. O., Dec. 6.-Judge N. w.
Dick decided today that praying for the
life of a sick person was no crime I'M
der the laws of Ohio, and for that rea-
son discharged Eva Earle. who was
prosecuted by the state medical board
for treating sick woman here.
1t was admitted that she. received a
fee for the service, but Judge Dick said
the praying did not constitute treat
ment within the meaning of the law.
While prayer might do no good, he said
it could of itself DO no HARM and he
believed any sick person had the right
to hire another to pray for him if he
wished to do so.
