The Morse Iron Works and Dry
Dock Company Of Brooklyn, one CT
the largest ship-building concerns in
the country, has closed down for an
indefinite period because of trouble
with the labor unions. The company
employed 1900 men and had week
" pay roll of $4,000. There have
been so many strikes for triAing
causes, and the union leaders have be-
come so tyrannlcal, the manager Of
the plant concluded in disgust to shut
down until conditions are changed.
THE Eastern Panhandle, the new
paper started here by w. l. Boone
formerly of Martinsville, Va, made
its appearance yesterday. 1t is an
attractive looking sheet Of eight pages.
Mr.. Boone, the editor, is a clever gen.
tleman, and we welcome him to the
newspaper fraternity. The new pa
per, which was, according to report,
TO have been strongly Republican, an
nounces that it will be entirely indie
pendent in politics. We hope that
Brother Boone will stick to this posi-
tion and not strike us Democrats un-
der the short ribs when we are least
expecting it.

LanguageSin Public Schools
From the Evening Wisconsin.

From the Evening Wisconsin.
 Foreign languages have been stricken from the curriculum of the grade schools of New York city, excepting in the last year, when 1t becomes elective with the pupil whether he or she will study Ger man or any other foreign language. The action of the New York school board has evoked a great deal of discussion in cities throughout the country where foreign languages are extensively taught in the schools It is causing much talk in Mill waukee, where two out of three children who go to school study German. There is much criticism expressed to the extent to which German Is carried on in the Milwaukee schools, that Is as to the time and the amount of money spent upon 1t. Even advocates of the retention of Ger man are willing to admit that it would be wise to do some pruning so far as German is concerned If a definite limit could be established. The fear is that If any action is taken that 1t will be wiped out altogether.
 The school board some years ago at- tempted to cut down the German course, but was met with a flood of protest WOrKeQ up ldTBely Dy 1eTiHdn ledCHtIS, whose appeals caused many prominent citizens to act contrary to the dictates of their best judgment and contrary to what they believed the pest interests of the public school system demanded There has been no agitation against Ger man in the schools for number or years. The nearest approach came when Superintendent Siefert signified to one of the committees his intention of recom- mending that all teachers be equipped to teach German. The question is likely to come up at any time, in the form of a movement in behalf of the instruction in Polish.
 Polish residents are beginning to feel that there is no good reason why instruc- ton in Polish should not be given as well as instruction in German. There are quite a large number who feel that the children of German parents are secur- ing an advantage in the schools that Is
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-06-14

denied to their children, in that they are allowed to secure instructions in German, the language of their fathers, while the children of Polish parents can study Ger man, but they feel they ought not to be confined in the choice and be forced to to take German where a preference exists for Polish. An effort was made to se- cure instruction in Polish in the schools some seven or eight years ago.
 Circumstances have changed greatly only greater, but 1t Is more influential. The demands and petitions of the Poles are listened to now with greater respect there are many citizens of Polish na- tionality holding high positions and com manding considerable in fuence. It is understood that former Director Tom-- hewicz was contemplating some action relative to the study of Polish in the schools. What his successor will do af- ter he becomes acquainted with the board Is problematical, but if the demand for Polish among the Poles continues to grow, and a request in the form of a petition Is sent to the board 1t may have a tendency to open an inquiry into the entire question of the foreign languages in the schools.
 Something of the extent to which Mill waukee city government recognizes for eign tongues is shown in the matter of the publication of the city ordinances and official advertisements. These are printed in English, German and Polish. The proceedings of the Milwaukee coun- ty boards are printed in English and German languages, but not in Polish.

SOME STRAY TALES
 HEARD IN PASSING
BY PAUL COOK.
A Tale of the Tenderloin.

A Tale of the Tenderloin.
 A oAimmer who Is not always too busy to see the pathos of life in his daily rounds. was talking. "rhis little incident happened one night in the Standard the atre down in the Tenderloin district or St. Louis. As l was having a night oh I joined a party of the boys who were going out to take in the town ana mel dentally have a good time There were six or eight of the cleverest fellows you ever saw anu all were in particularly good humor
 q was amused at the antics of young shoe salesman from the east who kept the crowd in roar with his quips. He was a splendid specimen of manhood and attracted people to him without ef- fort.
 aAbout eleven or twelve o'clock we wound up in the Standard theatre, in some respects one of the toughest re- sorts in the town. Everybody was feeling gay by this time and the young shoe salesman, Thoring I believe was his name, was the llveliest in the party. The yaude- vile performance was drawing to close and attendants were waiting to clear the floor for the nightly dance. A number of girls were scattered about, some chatting with acquaintances at the bar and others strolling up and down the hall From be- hind the curtains of the boxes came the pop of bottles and frequent bursts or laughter. The sparkle of lights against the crimson hangings and the fancy cos tunes of the women made brilliant scene but. somehow, there was some thing lacking, and there peeped out every now and then the coarse reality or the whole place that cast damper on the spirits.
 Several of the women wore little masks used for fancy dress balls. mo- ticed one very handsome girl who was slowly approaching the bar while chat ting with a good looking young fellow of the town. Thoring was making the rounds of the hall jollying all the girls he met. He had just made some testing remark and was turning away when the girl was watching caught sight of his face for the first time. She started and then appeared to trembe violently. She gave Thoring a piercing look and turned away with a shudder. but he drew near all unconscious of anything unusual,
 By this time I was an interested ob- server As Thoring passed she turned aside as if to avoid him. He seized the girls arm to detain her while he passed a pleasantly. She attempted to break away from him while covering her face with one hand, and with laugh Thoring snatched away the mask. The girl ut tered a low moan and Thoring reeled back with a face like marble
 "Thoring hurried out of the place with an unsteady step. The woman disap- peared in the crowd and never saw eith- CT of them again. afterward learned from an intimate friend of his that Thor ing's sister had fallen and she was the girl he met that night in the Standard theatre

BACK AT HOME,
Col. Fitz Gerald is Back on His Native
Heath and is Selling Mining Stock.

Col. Nat Ward Fitz- Gerald, who
was some years ago the populist
nominee for governor of West Vir-
ginia, hut who left Preston county
permanently about four years ago,
emigrating to Salt Lake City, Utah,
and from there going to the Klon-
dixie, is back at his old stamping
grounds in and about Terra Alta,
displaying gold nuggets from the
size OF a hen egg to the size Of an
ostrich egg and telling his friends
that he has struck it very rich in
the Klondike. He carries all neces-
sary credentials to back his asser-
tions too, and is selling mining stock
to his old friends, that they may
also share in his wealth. Col. Fitz-
Gerald looks not one day older than
a dozen ago when he very startingly
announced to his friends that he
didn't intend to grow any older,
wasn't going to get sick at all and
that he proposed to die when he got
good and ready and not before; that
this thing of aches and pains was
all tomfoolery aud that a man who
knew the secret OF the thing didn't
have to leash up his checks until
he got tired of living and wanted a
change. The Colonel has many 9TH
cr oddities, also, that would require
a column OF space to enumcrate.

with will. Ii the appropriation
holds out, and / think it will, we
will have the finest exhibit OF coal

West yirginia's other exhibits, "
continued Mr.. Cox, twill be chiefly
in the line Of horticulture and
forestry. Arrangements for these
are well under way, and there is
promise of fine exhibits
"Fhe commissioner thinks it best,
he says, "to concentrate the State s
efforts on the three things-coal,
horticulture and forestry"

MORE BUILDING BLOCKS.
Another Company Organized to
Manufacture Them.
Core, Demoss, Hall and Hess Interested
Will Be Ready for Business In so
Days Machines Ordered-Looking
for Site Description Of Product.

A new company has been organ
lied here for the manufactured con
crete building blocks. which il is
thought will have a very important
bearing on building operations in
this vicinity They are now looking
Tor site on which TO locate per-
manent plant. All the necessary
machinery has been ordered, and the
new plant will be turning out blocks
In 60 DAYS. The company has not
been chartered, but will be soon.
The men interested in the new en-
terprise are George c. Hess, A. L
Demoss, S. T. Hall and DC. Core.
A fifth man will be taken in, and the
company will be Incorporated. G. A..
Chamberlain, of jackson, Mich rep,
resenting the cement machine com
pany, has been here at intervals for
two or three weeks. He and II. III
Lanham, OF Fairmont, were the prime
factors in organizing the enterprise.
A similar company was organized IN
Fairmont.
The building blocks are made of
sand and Portland cement. The
process of manufacture is very sim
Pile. The blocks can be made where
the building is being erected. They
can be made in any size, shape or
color, with plain or decorated faces
in any design.
The concrete blocks are cheaper
and more durable than stone or
bricks A block can be made in 3S
seconds, on test, but one in two
minutes is the usual speed They
are left in the open air oyer night.
and are then ready to put into the
building Exposure to the elements
makes them harder and more dura
bic. The longer building of this
kind stands the more substantial it
becomes.
A block of the size usually made
takes the place of forty bricks. The
blocks are hollow, and hence cannot
be penetrated by frost. One thick
ness mades the best kind of a vail
for cellar
The company already has requests
for bids on three buildings, and will
be prepared to fill orders in 60 DAYS.
