ing majority the local unions in the
northern coal fields yesterday decided
to accept the proposition OF the oper-
ators, and the strikers will return to

schedule with an eight hour day. The
meetings of the unions were well at
tended and the men seemed perfectly
satisfied by the vote, which will be
canvassed to-day by the sub-district
board. The vote. which was 574 in fa-
yor Of returning to work to 112 against
was the direct result of a telegram from
strike headquarters in. District 10.
signed by President Howells and the
national organizers in Colorado. The
telegram is supposed to have resulted
from peremptory telegraphic instruc-
tions from President John Mitchell of
the United Mine Workers of America
to settle the strike in the northern
fields.
All the northern plants will resume
Monday. everything being in readiness
The district produces 5000 tons of coal
per day. seventy per cent. of which is
shipped to Denver. and this amount is
fully ample to supply the demands OF
the city. No attempt will be made to
regulate the price of coal until the men

ANCIENT HAWAIIAN DAME
Native Woman of Mani Who Has Just
Passed Away at the
Age of us.

some faint remembrance of the event
She had been married several times, but
neither husband nor children survived
her. Report says that the woman re-
tanned her faculties to the last and could
see clearly without the use of glasses.
She lived most Of the time in the open
air and smoked a pipe to within a few
weeks of her death.
There are any number of women in
Hawaii well over 80 years Of age Most
OF them are natives, and, as rule, they
retain their faculties to theend Moth
er Gulick, who is now the oldest living
white woman in the island, is reported
to be seriously i'll. In six months she
will celebrate her one hundredth birth
day. Her present illness is due to an
ago, in which she injured her shoulder
and hip. Up to that time she had been
taking daily trips on the cars and ran
her own sewing machine. Mother Gulick

EDUCATING FILIpmos.
Malsys Have Their Own
Troubles

The letters sent home by the Yale
teachers in the new possessions of the
United States are full of interest, says
the New York Tribune. They tell more
clearly than DO the usual official reports
the conditions in the islands which the
Americans have to face, and in general
they have been sanguine OF the ultimate
success OF American educational occu-
patton. A few excerpts from a letter
received by the Yale bureau of self-help
and by the families of the Yale men in
the Islands, in this city, show how the
Yale teachers are living. Says one Of
the Yale men in writing home:
The first impression which received
on reaching my district was a mighty
unfavorable one as far as school teach
ing went. All of US American college
fellows are distributed throughout the
towns, where We were all usually the
only Americans in the place What
schools there were had mattress for
"maestros." and these (tiSy were equal
~ divided among young men and wom-
en), were, on the whole, ignorant, and
unable to get out of their ruts In the
school where I was placed, for instance.

that showed me the difference between
tagged out Spanish civilization and
what 1 had been accustomed to in
America. The native teachers were
hopelessly ignorant, 1 was going to say
illiterate. When 1 first talked with my
ASSISTANT dandy young fellow who
paid more attention to his patent
leather shoes, white cotton suit and
long finger nails than he did to his own
e6ucation-I found that he was unable
to answer even simple questions in
arithmetic or geography. map was
q puzzle to him. My first assistant was
just like all the rest 1 have known since,
and he could not point out any country
of Europe on the map or even tell where
his own town was situated Instead of
jumping right into the education of the
school children 1 had to begin with the
teachers, and all of the fellows say that
the normal schools for teachers they
have carried on have had to come first IS
