Anarchist Mohr, who committed
suicide in Patterson the other day,
is fair example of the vile brood
he was a member of. 1t appears he
had not done days work for year
but had left his wife to support him
self and children. Furthermore he
had often taken money from his
wife to buy anarchist literature.
When. in terror of the police, he put
an end to his miserable life, he was
on his way to ''do up his unfortu-
nate wife because she had had him
arrested for intolerable cruelty. An
edifying spectacle of man is this
blood thirsty anarchist.

In 1880 the per capita of wealth in
the United States was 1907. 90. In
1900 the per capita was S1235. SO,
with a population increased three
fold. Figures published by the

gate wealth of the United States in
1900 at S94, 300, 900, 600 against total
of only S7,135, $50, 900 in 1880. The
increase in the number of inhabi-

upon a thorough examination and inveS-

mining anthracite coal, the question OF

of the complaints and grievances of both
operators and miners. The results of such
investigation not to be considered in the
nature OF an award by the Board of Ar

IS. That whenever practical and where
mining is paid for by the ton, and until

made its report, coal shall be paid for by
the ton, and be weighed by two inspect
ors one representing the operators and
one representing the men, each side to

SO. That there shall be no interference

~ That whenever practicable collect

These conclusions, Mr.. Wright says he

NEWPORT NEWS. " a., September 3.
tSpecfaD-Prnfessor WI lis A. enkfQs for
merly of Portsna outh, who was recently
elected supervising principal of. the pubic
schools of Newport News, will reyolu-
5tionize the system which has been
vogue heretofore, and will inaugurate de-
partures which will place the schools
here on a par with those anywhere IN the
country, and somewhat above the schools
of the South as rule.
He has called a meeting of the teach
ers and principals to = be held Friday
morning for the purpose of acquainting
them with his IDEAS and advising them
as to the best methods for carrying them
into effect. He proposes to introduce the
departmental system Of teaching this
session in the sixth, seventh. and eighth
grades, each teacher instructing in two
studies. and having classes in each of the
three grades, instead of the old method
Of a teacher to room or a grade. Next
year Professor Jenkins hopes to estab-
lish the departmental system in some OF
the lower grades. Every Friday after
noon there will be teachers and princfs
pals conferences and teachers institutes
will be held regularly every Saturday
morning.
Speaking of the Newport News schools,
Professor Jenkins to-day made the state
ment that none better exists in the State.
The schools kl.re are, fne1t with larger and
better seating capacity than is found in
most schools. and for heating and venti-
lation, he says, the Newport News schools
are not eclipsed by any schools In the
South, except possibly in Texas.
