MAY SHIP IN BRICK.
James Ramsey to Get Supply in Kan.
Sas CITY.

James Ramsey. of the firm of Ram
sey & Ramsey is figuring on bringing
in large quantity of Kansas City paw
ing brick to use in the completion of
his paving contracts in the city. He
has about closed deal for a large
consignment of high-gr bricks. If
Ramsey can get paving brick from
Kansas City he will be able to pull out
from under the paving combine and
deliver it a severe blow for future pre-
dominance
Mr.. Ramsey was in Kansas City a
few days ago and brought home some
samples of Kansas City brick. The
sample for use as the top course was
approved by the city engineer, but the
sample for use as a lower course brick
was'-not satisfactory. 1t was not a
vitri1ed brick such are used here,
but was a form of pressed brick. The
city engineer insists upon the use of
vitrified brick of standard strength.
The Kansas City paving brick have
round corners like the Lawrence brick,
and are of a very good quality. They
are somewhat larger than Topeka
brick.

Our Roads Astonish Foreigners.

The development of passenger rrans-
portation in the United States astonishes
all foreigners. Edwin A Pratt repre-
sentative of the London Times, was
making some Investigations yesterday
at the Grand Central station with a
view to writing a comprehensive ar
ticle on American railroads. Ills In
quiries developed the fact that the New
York Central has eight passenger trains
a day between New York and Chicago.
and when he learned that the distance
is $50 miles he remarked that it is a
marvellous thing He was still further
astonished that four of the eight trains
make the $50 miles in twenty-four hours
and that one, the Twentieth Century
Limited. goes the distance every day. in
either direction. in twenty hours. His
amazement grew when he was informed
that the westbound Twentieth Century
Limited carries only Chicago passen-
gers, and will not take a passenger for
any other point. He remarked thct his
people would be equally astounded on
learning these faets--From 'On the Tip

CONCERNING TEACHERS.
Attorney General Decides a Point
About Certificates.

According to an opinion just promul-
gated by the attorney generals depart
ment, a school teacher in a joint district
must hold a certificate in the county
in which the larger part of the district
lies. This is the first time this question
has ever been raised. Heretofore it has
been customary to allow a teacher from
any county which has a territory in a
joint district to teach the joint district
school.
A law passed by the last legislature.
however, allows a teacher of any coun-
ty to have her certificate approved in
any adjacent county on the payment
of one dollar, without passing another
examination, so this places the status
of teachers with reference to joint dis
trictS where it has always been supposed
to be, except that the teacher is re-
quired to pay a fee of one dollar ex-
ira.
