EDUCATION OF THE POOR.

A bill has passed both houses of con-
gress and is now in the hands of the
president, 'for the promotion of educa-
ton with the United States of Ameri-
ca without distinction of ace, sex or
creed.' This bill, it is said, was pass
ed for the express purpose of enabling
John D. Rockefeller to endow a ma
tional fund with a fund which it is said
will place the National university
scheme of Andrew Carnegie complete
" in the shade. 1t is not positively
stated just what the scope of the plan
is. but it is understood that the pur-
pose is to aid the education of the poor
of the south through the common
schools Of the several states. 1t is not
the purpose to establish new schools,
but to aid those already in existence.
Mr.. Rockefeller and his associates
have entered an entirely new and
broad field, one practically unlimited
in its possibilities. How much better
it is that the poor should receive aid
along educational lines than that some
rich institution should be endowed. A
very small per cent of the children of
the nation ever reach ever the high
school and much fewer the college.
The competition in philanthropy is
becoming exciting.

KILLED.

The bill repeating the desert, timber
and stone and soldiers homestead
Communication laws has been defeated
in committee of the house of represen-
tatives.
Messrs. Mondell and Shafroth con
tended that repeal of the present land
acts would greatly retard development
in Wyoming and Colorado. 1t was ad-
mitted generally by all members of the
committee that the present laws are
adequate, and if rigidly administered
by land officials. frauds would be re-
duced to the minimum. If any change
should be made, it should be that tim
Der lands west of the Rocky mountains
should be increased in price in proper
ton to their greater value than timber
lands east of the range.
Chairman Lacey, who had introduce
ed the bill to repeal the desert land act
and the communication act of the home
stead law, said he had done so under
a misapprehension of facts, and gave
notice that he would not press it.
While no formal vote was taken. the
committee practically agreed that
there would be no bill reported by it
at this session to disturb the present
laws. =. ,
In discussion of the matter Chairman
Lacey made the significant statement
that at some future time that clause of
the irrigation bill passed last session
providing that settlers pay for water
rights be repealed and that the govern
reclamation projects. without requiring
settlers to pay any share of the same.

RAILWAY TIES OF LEATHER.
A New Invention May Solve an I'm
portant Railway Problem.

portant hallway froEiem.
A company has been Incorporated
in New England for the manufacture
of leather railroad ties and paving
blocks. If the invention is what is
claimed for it 1t promises to solve
the question of the future supply Of
ties, which for years has been worry
ing the railroads.
1t is claimed that the leather tie
will hold a spike better than any
other material, that it is impervious to
checks and decayed spots, that all
ties are uniform in size and quality,
that neither the rail nor fish plates
will cut into it, that it Is as nearly
noiseless as a tie can be, and hat it
will outwear six or eight wood ties.
It's elasticity, it is further claimed,
makes it far superior to any metal
tie that could be made.
1t is said that railroads will save
from $1,000 to $1,000 a mile after the
ties are once laid in a well-made road
bed. 1t is also claimed that the tie
can be adjusted as easily as wood,
and that it will make a firm road
bed around a curve.
The tie Is made of waste leather
combined with chemicals, and both
can be obtained in almost unlimited
quantities. The process of manufac-
ture is a simple one, and six ties will
he made to each drop of the press,
which will be under hydraulic pres
sure.

A Timely SUGGESTION.

This is the season Of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and sat
isfactory when it is kept at hand and
given as o as the cold is contracted
and before it bas become settled in the
system. In almost every instance a
severe cold may be warded off by TAX
ing this remedy freely as soon as the
first indication Of the cold appears.
There is no danger in giving it to
children for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take
both adults and children like it. Buy
it and you will get the best. 1t always
