the association had better close the lease
of Ninemire building for five years, and
that all energies be directed to putting
those rooms in good shape.
1t was estimated that to fit up those
rooms and conduct the association for
one year will require $500, including
baths and bowling alleys, and permit the
addition of educational classes. OF this
amount 81 800 is on hand, and no trouble
is anticipated in raising the balance.

High Praise From Abroad.

The following very complimentary
notice of the North Carolina School for
the Deaf at Morganton, appeared in a
recent issue of 1.-THE Messenger, pub
lished at Talladega, Ala, a leading
journal for the deaf:
The North Carolina School for the
Deaf at Morganton must be, from all
we hear of it, in some respects the best
planned institution of its kind in the
country. and therefore in the world
1t has it's own refrigerating system
combined with it's heating system
Situated in the country, and belonging
to a State mainly agricultural in its in
dustries. the industrial education which
it gives is largely along agricultural
lines.
The school owns and operates large
model farm, raising the very best breeds
of domestic animals and practising the
most improved methods of crop-raising.
Thus boys coming there from farms have
the opportunity to learn more profitable
WAYS of working the land than their
parents can teach them, and, in fact,
may be able to give points to their
fathers when they go home. We have
always believed that farming, more than
any other occupation, is ready to yield
vastly greater returns than it does at
present, if only more brains be applied
to it. The North Carolina School has
done a wise thing.

SIX DAYS. WORK DONE
Arbitrators Visited Seven
Mines. Testimony to be
Taken on the i4th.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Mahanoy City, Pa, Nov. 5.-The An
it's tour Of observation in the coal fields
in the Panther Creek Valley today, and
the members of the party will return to
their homes tomorrow and will meet
again at Scranton on November IA to
take testimony of the miners. The big
gest days work of the entire trip was
accomplished today when the commits
sioners made a complete inspection of
two large collieries and tour of the
region lying between Mount Carmel and
this city.
Six working days have been consumed
in travelling from place to place in the
anthracite coal regions. In all, the COM
missioners were lowered into seven mines
of varying conditions, and went through
several breakers
Among the points visited was the
Maple Hill colliery Of the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company,
few miles from Shenandoah. This is one
of the best mines in the entire anthra-
cite field, and is equapped with all
modern appliances. The bottom OF the
shaft is 730 feet below the surface, and
during their two hours stay in the
workings, the commissioners went about
a mile and a half from the shaft. The
whistle blew the noon hour just as the
party came to the surface. At the
breaker near by the commissioners talk
cd with the boys, whose faces were
black from coal dust. Judge Gray ana
Bishop Spalding seemed the most inter-
ested in the lads and gave some OF them
small coin. Then the arbitrators visited
the No s colliery of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company, of COaldale. The
entrance to the mines was through
drift which is a horizontal opening into
the base of a mountain. About one hun
dred feet inside the entrance, the party
was lowered by means of shaft to the
bottom which is $50 feet down. The mine
proved to be quite wet and everyone in
the party got more or less of WettinS
After leaving the mine number or
idle mine workers crowded around Chair
man Gray, of the commission and told
him that they had been Disseminated
against by the company in the matter
of getting their old places pack. They
said SUPERINTENDENT Behmer would not
take them back for some reason I'M
known to them and that other men had
been given their positions On the
other hand, the company officials claim
ed that they have had not enough work
at this time for the men on account OF
repair work now being done in the
mines. Judge Gray listened to them, but
made 70 comment.

is the story secured by Sheriff Jones from
the three children, who are in custody.
Each of the children practically told
the same story. the only variance oelng
in the degree of culpability in the killing
accorded 20 each. Herman, who is sald
to have fired the gun that killed his
father, duplicates his younger brothers
equally with himself, while they put the
blame on him. The only motive for the
crime given is that the father, with
whom the children had lived alone since
the mothers death, had not treated them
kindly. Neighbors of the Borchers said
they know of no mistreatment on the
part of the father.
