The Advantage of Educating Oneself.
Chatham Co.. N. G.

The Advantage of Educating Oneself.
It is unreasonable to suppose that
no one but a college graduate can
be educated, in the broader meaning
of that much-abused word. If a
young man or a young woman Is
wholly undecided as to his or her fU-
ture work, a four years college
course may help to a decision, but if
one is determined to follow a spe-
cial line of work, he can make more
rapid progress outside a college,
sometimes, than in one. If, for exam
pie. he has chosen literature as a
profession, he can study under a tu-
tor in the subjects he desires and
progress twice as fast as in college.
The courses in all our universities
are calculated for a mediocre stu
dent, who probably gives o time
to athletics and outside matters than
to study. An ambitious young per-
son, who is anxious to do something
in the world, has to drag along with
the others, however willing he may
be to forge ahead. With a tutor, OF
home study, he can push along as
rapidly as he is capable of doing,
with no one to hold him back. It is
possible to enter almost any profess
sion after a course of home study,
without a college diploma. I have
often heard lawyers assert hat those
members of the bar who studied in
Offices were invariably the most sue
cessful ones in practice. They not
only have the theory of law, but also
know it in operation.
Some educators once made out a
list of a hundred great men who
lived in England during the half
century from 1850 to 1900. They
were principally men of the first
genius, like Darwin, Huxley, Tyn-
dali, and Ruskln. They were greatly
surprised when it was discovered
that only twenty of the hundred had
received college educations. The
others were self-educated, or had
studied under tutors at home. This
must have been more than a coinci-
dence, and to my mind it is a re-
markable commentary on the sue
cess of the modern system of edu-
cation. It means that the young
nan who can only study at night is
under no handicap in the race for
success because he is unable to spend
four years in college.

Captain Thomas Had Instructions
to Look for Overdue Bark
and Crew.

Another link has been added to the
chain of story which leads people on
the waterfront to believe that the old
wooden bark Ceylon. Captain Willer,
plying in the guano trade between
Honolulu and Laysan Island, has met
with some mishap. Captain Thomas,
of the U. S F. c. S. s. Albatross, which
left here recently for Bird Island. is
now returning and reports that he
found no evidence of ship-wrecked sail
ors on Bird island, nor saw anything
Of the overdue vessel on his trip out
and back
The Albatross had instructions from
Commandant Whiting, of the Naval
Station, when she left this port, to keep
and also to search Bird Island for ship
wrecked sailors, as Mr. Alexander Isen-
berg, .of the firm of Hackfeld & Co.,
thought that their vessel may have met
with some trouble and as Bird Island
lis in the track that the Ceylon would
sail to Laysan Island, it would have
been possible that the crew of the Cey-
Ion had reached there.
The Albatross arrived at Niihau ISL
and on August 9, on her return trip
from Birds Island, and Captain Thorn
as then stated that they had found no
trace of the Ceylon or her crew.
The Albatros sis expected to arrive
at Honolulu early on Friday morning.

DROUGHT IN s
Baltic Provinces Already Suffering,
From Famine,

st. Petersburg, May l4.-Advices re-
ceived here from the Baltic provinces
show that the drought and frosts have
greatly damaged the winter sowings.
Thus far there is no trace Of grass
and the peasants are reduced to feed
ing their stock on rotten straw taken
from the roofs of the cottages.
Enormous crowds Of starving peas
ants are flocking to Moscow from the
cnertal provinces, in search of e
of existence. Half a dozen freight
trains, each carrying some 1900 per-
sons, are dispatched daily from Ria
Fan, about a hundred miles from Mos
COW, in addition to the ordinary traf-
fic. The railway station at Raizan
is inadequate to hold the refugees
and the wretched crowds bivouac in
the open air, suffering from rain, cold
and hunger.

SPOTTED FEVER INVESTIGATION.
Eminent Eastern Specialist viii Be
Asked to Come to Montana.

Missoula, May 14.-The board Of
county commissioners Of this county
held a conference yesterday forenoon
with the members Of the board of
county commissioners Of Ravalli coun-
ty, who were in the city, and talked
over the spotted fever situation in
the Bitter Root valley, with the re
suit that several Of the physicians of
the city were called in and the matter
was further discussed and the Mis-
soula county board of county com.
missioners finally decided to ascer-
tain from a legal standpoint whether
they had the right to expend the coun-
ty funds acting in conjunction with
the county commissioners of Ravalli
county to bring an expert here from
the east to make a study Of this spot
ted fever situation, the disease, and
conditions in the valley that might be
the aus Of the epioemic.
County Attorney Charles E. Hall
was called in and his advice asked,
and he took the matter up over the
telephone with Attorney General Don
ovan, who informed him that he, At
torney Donovan, had already instruct
ed Doctor Longeway, Of Great Falls,
secretary Of the state board Of health,
to send to New York City for Doc
tor F. M. Jeffrays, an eminent spec
ialist, and have him come here at the
states expense and make a thorough
examination of this spotted fever and
ascertain if possible what is the cause
of the presence of this malady in the
one portion of the Bitter Root val
ley, namely on the west side of the
river from Florence to Hamilton.
It was this Doctor Jeffrays whom
the physicians of this and Ravalli
county have been contemplating
bringing here, and the action of At
torney General Donovan in ordering
him sent for will meet with the hearty
appreciation of all of the people of
this section of the state, who had be-
come greatly worked up over this
spotted fever scourage, and felt some
thing had to be done, and that this
year, to find out what is the cause
of this disease being prevalent in
that vicinity.

TAKE NO ACTION
MATTER OF STRIKE RESTS WITH
PRESIDENT MITCHELL.
1t He Says So the United Minework-
ers Will Continue the Struggle
Already Begun.

HaZletOn, "a, May - con-
vention of the anthracite mineworkers
held two sessions in the opera house
today, and, without taking any ac-
top OF the question of a permanent
strike, adjourned until tomorrow
morning. About 700 delegates are in
attendance. The convention is meet
ing behind closed doors, and, al
though nothing official is given out,
it is known that the allimportant
question was not reached, the.two ses-
sions being devoted entirely to or
ganization and credentials. President
Mitchell was chairman of the conven-
ton.
The day brought forth no definite
information bearing on the probable
action of the convention, and the sit
uation tonight remains about the same
as it has been during the past 48
hours. President Mitchell said that
adj hopes of any concessions from the
operators was gone. He has had no
recent communications, he said, with
the mine owners, Senator Hanna or
any other member of the National
Civic federation. He admitted that
he had some advice to give to the
delegates at the proper time, but
what it is he would not say. In an
interview today he said that there
was no doubt that the sentiment of
the men was in favor of a strike, but
he refused to make any reply when
asked if he would give advice that
would come in conflict with their
sentiments.
It is admitted that what President
Mitchell suggests will be done, not!
| w~ithstanding the fact that a majority
of the delegates are in favor of a
strike of the mine owners do not make
concessions. Therefore, it looks very
much as though the whole matter
rests with the national president. The
advice that he will give to the miners
is known probably only to four other
persons-the three district presidents
and national Secretary-Treasurer Will
son, who arrived here today. There
are persons here representing rail-
roads, stockholders and others who
are making an EFFORT to get first in
formation.
Tomorrow mornings session of the
convention will begin at 9 o'clock anu,
according to Mr.. Mitchell, a final ad-
journment will be had in the after
noon.
Quiet reigned everywhere in the re-
gion today and not a pound of coal
was mined anywhere.
A great crowd of mineworkers came
into town from the surrounding vii
lagos and coal patches. They crowd
ed around the convention hall, await
ing information from the inside and,
We're greatly disappointed when the
convention adjourned this afternoon
without taking definite action.
