Superintendent of Schools George
+. Colgate furnished the writer some
interesting data few days ago in re-
lation to the educational institutions
of Fremont county, nndcr his official
jurisdiction.
There are in the county thirty five
school districts, presided over by one
hundred and fifteen teachers. There
were last year 800 presons entitled to
the benefits of the public schools, be-
tween six and twonty-onc years of age
of which very large per cent avail
ed themselves of the instruction
which the schools afforded. The
number of presons of school age has
increased this year to 52sl, Of which
ailG are between the ages of eight and
fourteen. Although no figures have
hecn received Mt the superintendcnts
Office yo, bearing upon the matter, 1t
is believed the ratio of attendance to
tho whole number of children in the
county will be about the same MS last
year
superiutondcnt Colgate remarked
that but few people outside the pro
fession had any idea of the hard lot
of the rural school teachers and of
tho oxpedicn,s to which he has TO re-
sort TO interest his pupils in their
studies. He says the successful
county teacher must be n diplomat of

"A pathetic case of th ! destitnaioa
eta alleged demented woman and
her three little children came under
notice Of the police, of the North
eastern district Of Baltimore, dur
ing the last few days, with the re-
suit that the woman was committed
to Bayview last Wednesday and her
youngest child, a girl / year old,
was yesterday taken lost. Vincent's
Orphan Asylum upon the request of
the Board of Supervisors Of City
Charities.
The woman is Veronica Komenda,
81 years old. Patrolman Taylor
learned that the woman was labor
ing under hallncination that she was
admired by number of young
men far above her station in life.
Her frequent statements to this
effect to her husband, Frank ko-
menda, which he believed, caused
him to leave his wife about two
weeks ago, taking with him the
three Oldest children boys to
the home of a relative, where they
are now living.
Since the departure of her hus-
band Mrs. Komenda and her three
young children, all of whom are
girls, were living in extreme pov-
erty, their only means of subsis-
tence being the food given them by
neighbors.
At the hearing before Justice
Lewis the father expressed a will
lingness to take care of the two old
est girls, giving the care Of the in
fant to the ASYLUM.

Coal AdvaSed

Owing to the strike in the coal re.
gions the retail price OF anthracite
coal in Wilmington has been advanc-
ed Is cents per ton today.
There is fairly sufficient stock Of
coal amog u alers hereto supply
the ordinaty d nds Tor some time.
The coal aealaSAA express themsel-
yes, and urge Ypon their customers
thenecessiN oESurtaiIing their pur-
chases to tile lowest possible extent.
In the present uncertainty as to dur
alton Of, the strike there are none Of
the dealers who will be able to fur
nish their customers with their winter
stocks, or with any large quantities
OF coal, but they will probably be
able to take care of all demands for
immediate use.
III interviews with several OF the
dealers the fact developed that owing
to the stringent conditions under
which coal is now being sold by, the
operators as to delivery and credit, it
is probable that hereafter these con-
ditions will necessitate the selling Of
coal on strictly cash basis.

STOLE 10 SAVE
WlFE'S LIFE.

Driven to steal to save his wife q
life. That was the plea made on be.
half Of Harry Shuster, who was on
trial In the Camden Court yesterday
on a charge OF embezzling $500.
Shuster was financial secretary Of
Thomas Jefferson, Jr. 0. U. A. NJ.
For years his wife had Leen sick, and
at times she needed the attention Of
medical experts HIS weekly wages
were only $12 and he took the coun.
ellis money to pay the physicians.
hoping to return the amount later.
Finally the physicians ssid Mrs.
Schuster must be taken to -Phila-
delphia hospital and undergoan OPP
Grafton at once, If her life was to be
saved. Schuster had no money Of his
own. He attempted to borrow the
$3.50, which had to be paid in advance
but could not do SO.
The physicians said the operation
should not be delayed day, and
then the husband took $780,, which
he paid for the expenses Of the opera
tion. Ills wife died The day after
being operated upon.
Gchuster acknowledged his guilt
when arralgned before Judge Joline.
The Rev. 9. z. Davis. pastor of
the Emmanuel Baptist Church,
made a touching appeal for the de-
feudent, during which the latter
wept. Mr., Davis said he knew Of
Schuster's trials, his sick wife and
two small children. The tempta.
ton to take the money must have
been strong and he thought the
case was one calling for mercy.
Prosecutor Lloyd suggested that
the defendent should not receive .
sentence greater than three
months. He had investigated the
case and fouEd tho facts az stated.
Judge-Joline then imposed a SEN
teuce Of three months in the comfy
lail, which caused Schuster to say
between his sobs: II,
Thank you, your Honor. All
ask is to get out OF this trouble.
No one will ever find me doIaG
wrong again.
