TEA CHEERS BENEFIT
BY new LAW

The public school teachers minimum
sal ary law, enacted by the last leQisIa
tn &c, goes into effect on the first OF
June next. A thorough canvass OF ev-
cry county in the state shows that
3, 800 school teachers, over nine tenths
of them women, will receive substant-
ial increases in salary during the com
ing term as th9 result of the operation
of the law. Nearly $3.50, 600 as addi-
tional remuneration will be received
by the teachers during the next term
as the result of these increases. In
ninetenths of the districts there will
be no increase of taxation on this ac-
count
The law provides that after the first
day of June the minimum salary OF
teachers shall be $50 per month. 1t is
made the duty of the president and
secretary Of each school district in the
state, under oath to make report to the
superintendent of Public Instruction
that the requirements of the law have
been fully complied with The last
section provides that every school
| district OF this common wealth, failing
to comply with the requirements Of
this act, shall forfeit its state appro-
/ priation for the whole time during
which this act has been violated.
Representative Charles A. Snyder,
of Pottsville the author of the teach.
eTs' minimum salary law, tells an in
teresting story of the underlying mo
tives which caused him to fight for
! the passage of this bill.
His wife, before marriage, was a
public school teacher When she Sc
cured a position as teacher she was
paid only $50 per month for a school
which had previously been taught by
a man for $65 per month. Mrs Snyder
was notably successful as a teacher
and the injustice of this action was so
manifest that Mr.. Snyder declared
that if he ever got the opportunity he
would prevent, as far as possible such
discrimination. The redemption OF
this pledge is the teachers minimum
salary bill, the benefciaries of which
are almost entirely women.

BADLY BURNED
BY 4 FLASH

Daniel Gillaspy employed az help
e1 at a heating furnace IN the skelp
mill, Reading Iron Works, was very
badly burned Friday.
The injured man was employed a.
second helper for Heater Curtis Marks
He stood at the door of the fur mace
with a shovelful Of coal in his hand
while the first assistant was drawing
out pile Of iron. AT the very mo
ment the iron was removed Gillaspy
proceeded to- throw in the coal.
A heavy fash at that instant shot
out the door filling all the space in
front of the furnace. Gillaspy's ex-
perience ss heater taught him what
to expect and he threw himself down
upon the ground Ii was impossible
to wholly escape, however, and his
right arm was caught in the whirl
wind Of fire. The member was terri =
bly, injured, from the shoulder TO the
wrist the flesh in large sports being
literally roasted. But for the man :
presence Of mind in dropping TO the
ground the entire upper part OF his
body would have been burned to a
crisp and death would have been Ger
tain.
The usual remedies kept on hand in
the mill were applied aud the man was
assisted to bis home A visit to the
Gillaspy residence last night found the
injured man confined TO his bed. He
was resting easily. although his pain
at an earlier hour had been most in
tense. 1t will be many weeks before
he will be able to work.
A fash from the furnace as above Is
an accident likely to occur. Workmen
off and on are injured IN this way but
it seldom happens that one Is 80 un.
fortunate as Daniel Gillaspy was yes
