HONOR OUR TEACHERS.

The following letter is from the pen or Mrs. E. F. Morrissette.- Mrs. Morrissette always talks interestingly of educauonai subjects, being the chairman of the Eau cational Committee of the Alabama Fed eration of Women's Clubs:
 statistical records show that Of all the employees of government, the pubic school teacher has the lowest saiary-a proportion diametrically opposite to what it should be.
 Another contrast between two great American bodies is that our war force, the soldiers, have government pension while our peace force, the teachers, nave none!
 Tn Alabama to the inequality between the lot of teachers and that of others In government service. is added gross n- justice-.teachers can, by our laws or rather by the absence of laws, be super intended by men inferior to the teachers themselves in character and education; the teachers must pass examination tests to get positions, but any politicians who can buy. beg or steal enough votes can be County Superintendents.
 It is to be hoped that the readjustment of the impaired scales of justice begun by the Constitutional Convention VIII so on further towards completion. and that the ineaualities and wrongs of our pub lie school system in Alabama will be eliminated. .,,
 Fifty years from now our State Will be what the public schools of today are making it. and we cannot without nnal and complete surrender of our religion ana our reason fail to zee that right influences be brought to bear on the children of the State in the schools.
 .'One movement broadly participated in all over the country. and which has late lv reached high tide in Louisiana is to raise a pension fund Tor teachers' The hest citizens in New Orleans are lending enthusiastic aid to create this incentive to the best talent for entrance into the teaching field; this assurance of hope for peaceful, aignihed old age to the ,ahorers in this field. The Louisiana teachers are to be congratulated, but vet more are to be congratulated her ci,izcns who honor themselves In honor ing the noble profession of teaching
 "A faithful teacher cannot be too well paid-too tenderly and Loyalty cared for In old age.
 If the readers of this paper are tired of hearing about an educational qualifica- tion for County -Supesintendents, and fling the sheet down saying 'Chestnuts! please let them remember that the only thing to do with ~chestRuts, Is to roast them. If you say 'rats,' why just help us to trap them before they gnav too many and too big holes in the treasury and before are educated under their regime too many boys who might keep mp the pernicious practice on attaining the age of politics.
 Why make us tired, too. And as for the teachers fatigue, that calls for a word of superlative and exhaustive mean ing.
 Of course there are good County Su- perintendents. individually here and there. but suparintendency of county schools as 1t exists under present Ala hama laws Is an affront to our teachers and a crime to our children

THE MATINEE YESTERDAY.

|! The matinee yesterday afternoon at which the Falcons's Elite Vaudeville" was presented again at the theatre drew another large audience. Many who wit messed the performance were children who enjoyed immensely the beautiful stage pictures. the fancy dancing, the toe dancing. the song specialties and the drills. Every number was done with the same perfection in detail that character ized the entertainment on the evening before.
 One of the best numbers on the pro gram was the Dance La Zngarella" of Miss Ethel Sykes. This little girl danced like a spirit of grace and was obliged to repeat her number as an encore.
 A remarkable feature of these two per- formances of vaudeville was the swift ness with which the program moved. There was not a moment s-wait between any of the numbers and the clock-like

Two Performances of "A Husband on

Two performances of "A Husband on Salary were given at McDonald's yester- day. The matinee was played to a crowded house, but the attendance at night was very light.
 The performances gave satisfaction. The cast is uneFenly balanced, there being but one or two strong character actors and several weak players. The cast em- braced a number of young persons whose work will undoubtedly improve with age and experience.
 Stephen Fitzpatrick as the eccentric lawyer carried of the honors of both performances. He evidenced a thorough understanding of the role and he portray cd it naturally and effectively.
 A number of clever specialties brighten ed the interest in the two performances.

The parcel was a handsome cradle con-
tanning a newly born child. On examining

Where is 1t now7' inquired the in
spector, quickly. for at such a moment the
admission that he had had a knife in his
possession was SUFFICIENT to arouse a strong
suspicion.
II hung II up again, sir, before going out
to call the DOCTOR he replied quite calmly.
"Show me which Il was" l said; and he
accompanied me out to the hall and pointed
to a long, thin knife which formed part OF
a trophy Of antique Indian weapons.
In an instant l saw that such a knife had
undoubtedly inflicted the wound In the dead
mans breast.

marked. taking down the knife with affected
carelessness. and examining It.
Yes, doctor. II was the first thing that

keen as a razor. 1t was about ten inches

Certainly a very dangerous weapon. The
sheath was purple velvet, very worn and

were standing and examined the blade be-

apparently been recently cleaned. 1t
might have been cleaned and oil smeared
upon 1t after the commission Of the crime.
Yet, as far as I could discover with the
naked eye. there was no evidence that It
had recently been used.
1t was the mans curious, apprehensive
glance that had first aroused my suspicion,
and the admission that he had opened the
back door and that he had been armed
both increased my d%istrust. The detec-
tives, too, were interested in the weapon,
but were soon satisfied that, although a
dangerous knife, 1t bore no stain Of blood.
So l put 1t back in its case and replaced
IT. But l experienced some d~ificulty In
getting the loop of wire back upon the
brass-headed nail from which It was sus-
pended, and 1t then occurred to me that
Short. in the excitement of the discovery
and ordered by Ethelwynn to go at once
in search of me, would scarcely remain
there, striving to return the knife to its
place. Such an action was unnatural. He
would probably have cast 1t aside and
dashed out in search of a cab. Indeed,
the constable on the beat had seen him
rush forth hurriedly, and, urged by Ethel
wynn, run in the direction of Kew Bridge.
No. Somehow 1 could not rid myself of
the suspicion thatNthe man was lying. To
my professional eye the weapon with which
the wound had been inflicted was the one
which he admitted had been in his possess
sion.
The story that he had unlocked the door
and gone in search OF the assassin struck
the inspector, as 1t did myself, as a dis
tinctly lame tale.

graph Office so that l might summon my
friend Jevons to my aid. He reveled in
