 Tn the past week :72 fatal pneumonia cases were recorded. That Is the largest number of deaths from the disease in the history of the citv. The previous week 2a9 deaths occurred.

Many physicians here regard pneumonia as an infectious dis ease.

NEW CUBAN TREATY.
Great Bulk of Raw Sugar Has Been
 Held Back.


 New York, Dec. 2s.--customs officials of this port are busy making collections on sugar and tobacco stored in the bonded warehouses under the Cuban reciprocity treaty which has just become effective Under the new regulations there is re- duction of 20 per cent in 'tfe Uuty on sugar, tobacco and other Cuban staples coming into the United States. The withdrawals of cigars in bond after the new duty has been paid were particularly heavy, as most of the dealers had been carrying light stocks in anticipation of the change.
 The sugar withdrawals amounted to about 15.OOO tons. There was compara- lively little sugar stored in the bonded warehouses, as the importers did not know previously that the sugar could be withdrawn at the lower rate For that reason the great bulk of raw sugar has been held back in Cuba pending decis- ion. The lower duties probably will not result in cheaper sugar until spring.

n necessity Tor MAINTAINING our
normal educational establishment at
a high standard Of efficiency and dis
cipline is made manifest by the In
roads which matrimOny is making
upon the working stan Of the public
schools. Within the last two months.
according to Z report Of Superintend-
ent Cooley, f~orty-eight teachers have
resigned their positions, the great
majority Of them to become wives.
While 1t is understood. Of course,
that the average girl who enters the
normal chool, and afterward secures
a teachers certificate, and later be.
comes a teacher, intends fully to de.
vote her life to the profession, yet II
seems to be the fact that she general.
ly at some time or another in the
neal future decides that her life work
lies In another but equally useful di
rection. At.t~.,
1t goes almost without saying that
the influence Of some man-perhaps
some man she never knew AMI never
expected to know when she entered
upon her professionals responsible
for changing her mind. Personally
her whole heart was bound up In the
training Of our boys and girls. She
did not even dream Of deserving them,
She was contented and happy in her
vocation.
Then some man came along and in.
terfered with all OF her plans. BY
specious argument, by appeals to her
tender emotions, by taking her OF her
guard, he eventually succeeded in
weaving her away from her chosen
calling, and before she realized what
she was doing she had forgotten the
dear little children Of class C. grade
six, and was promising in the pres
ence Of witnesses to love, honor and
obey this intruder.
Either we must protect our public
school teachers against the pernic-
ious influence Of man. or we must see
to It that in future our normal edu.
cational establishment shall be oper
ated tremendously and to Its full CO.
pacity so as to meet this great drain
upon u teaching crops.
It is unfortunately the case that
man In this instance Is shielded by the
law. He Is privileged to decimate the
ranks Of the public school instructors

willing to be decimated.-Inter Ocean.
