Men Teachers scarce.

The number of men employed as
teachers in the public schools of this
country is slowly but steadily decreas.
ing. According to William Il. Harris
United States commissioner of educa.
ton, the percentage of male teachers
in the public schools in 1870 was Al per
cent. In 1900 the percentage was only
90. The reasons for this decrease are
easily found. The work does not offer
as great inducements to men as it once
did. Teachers in secondary schools are
now required to be specialists, and the
salaries are not enough to attract men
to make a life career in this field.
Women in increasing numbers have
gradually taken their places. In point

ACCEPTS SOCIALIST NOMINATION.
Candidate for Mayor Says There Is Glass
Feeling Against the Workers.

Dr. Charles L. Fufman, the candidate of the
Social Democratic party for Mayor, has sent his
formal acceptance of the nomination to the local
committee of the party. and it was made public yes
terday. The gains made by the party in this and
other cities last year, especially in some Of the
cities of the State OF Massachusetts have made the
New-York section of the party optimistic this year.
A member OF the New-York executive committee
said last night:
I'VE do not expect, of course, 10 elect our Mayor
in New-Yorl but do expect to show that social
will be recognized as strong factor which must be
treated with respect
In his letter of acceptance DR.. Furman insists
that there is class feeling in this country and that
there Is community of interests between the en-
ployers and the workers, whom he calls the wealth
producing class. He declares that the law enforcing
power Of the country up the present has always
operated to the detrment OF the working class

antagonism' he says, I'VE, slaves have nothing
to lose; men have nothing to fear"

Milwaukee, Aug. H.-Folowing a sensational
charge that Holy Hill, near Hartford. Wis, is ad-
vertised in the interests of the railroads as a
Catholic shrine at which marvellous cures are et-
fected. Father j. keenan,, a Fond du Lac priest,
declares that nearly all shrines are due to COM
mercialism. He says

and have found bad thing in most of them,
the commercial element which trades on the woes
of the afflicted. 1 at Lourdes when there
5000 pilgrims there. was trying to say-maSS
in one Of the chapels, and was disturbed all the
time by the sound of coins falling like rain into
the various boxes placed there TO receive them. 1t
is natural for those afflicted to contribute at every
turn thinking that the show of piety will be in
their favor.
money changing at the holy shrine. This
in Palestine. at the Sepulchre OF our Lord In
Jerusalem, in Bethlehem and other places These
holy spots are under charge of the Church and
the pilgrims are not asked nor permitted to make
offerings. Taking away the mercantile element Is
certainly valuable feature of such place L
object to having traditions imposed the public

such place gets fictitious reputation

The operators contend that this Is an inherent
right of the employer The mine workers allege
that the recognition of such a privilege by the
