Wife.

The problem of low wages and too
many mouths to feed came UP in the

John Herman was charged with nom
support and breach of the peace. His
Wife said month ago he turned her
adrift and that last Sunday he beat
her. They have two children. one of
them is staying with the mother, VINO
said she does not know where the other
IS Mrs Herman told long story of
what she considered hard usage. Her
man said it was a case of too many
mouths to fill on his wages. He earns
$1,000 a week. Of this he pays $3.50
for one of the children to friend on
Bucks Hill, who is keeping it, as 1t is
not very strong. His wife was sick
for q long time and he had to have a.
woman to do the housework He pays
S13 month for his own board. and
his wife works for family in Water
town. The court ordered him to pay
his wife 81 week for six months, and
handed him over to the probation Off

TRADE CONDITIONS.
n. C. Dun g Co. Report Spring Trade
Tardy.

r.. G. Dun & Co. Report Spring Trade
Tardy.
NEW YORK, April 16.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review OF trade says:
sTardy spring weather, following an
unusually severe weather, makes 10 diff
fcult to restore satisfactory trade con-
ditions, but it is encouraging to find at
many points this unreasonable weather
the only cause of complaint, and there
is always the hope that early losses
may be made up, at least in large
measure, when thermal conditions be-
come normal In the meantime sales
of dry goods are restricted and stocks
in all positions from producer to con-
sumner are larger than is desirable
Aside from the cotton states, where
business is brisk, the weeks dis
patches indicate that early gains were
maintained, but little further progress
occurred. Labor controversies are still
an adverse factor, new struggles being
threatened for May /. but several inn
portant strikes have been averted and
where conditions render change i'm
perative.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for April aggregated
So, 1896, 1852, of which $1,546,576 were in
manufacturing, $2,SO1,S in trading
and 1856, 800 In other commercial lines.
Failures this week number 225 in the
United States against 212 last year and

negie has created fund OF st, 1000, 600
for the benefit Of "the dependents of
those losing their lives In heroic effort

poration. The trust Is placed in the
hands of a commission.
This commission held it's first meet
ing here and made known the project.
It is learned that the scheme was con-
ceived by Mr.. Carnegie Immediately
after tile Harwick mine disaster, when
he summoned to New York Mr.. Charles
L. Taylor, chairman, and #. M. Will
mot, manager of the Andrew Carnegie
relief fund, to discuss with him plans
for the relief of the sufferers from this
catastrophe.
On this occasion Mr.. Carnegie an
nounced to Messrs. Taylor and VIII
mot his intention to endow a fund for
heroes, outlined his plans and asked
that they consider the project and
write him regarding 1t, making such
suggestions and giving such ideas as
might occur to them This they did,
and just before his departure for Eu-
rope Mr.. Carnegie forwarded q letter
to Mr. Taylor announcing the plan and
stating that the certificate Of the bonds
had been placed in his hands.
In letter to the hero fund commits
sion Mr. Carnegie outlines the general
scheme of the fund, which, in his own
words, is ito place those following
peaceful vacations who have been In
jured in heroic effort to save human
life in somewhat better positions pecu-
niarily than before until again able to
work.
The field embraced by the fund is the
United States and Canada and the wa
tiers thereof. 1.-THE sea is the scene Of
many heroic acts" says Mr.. Carnegie's
letter, land no action more heroic than
that OF doctors and nurses volunteering
their services in the case of epidemics.
Railroad employees are remarka BILE for
heroism. All these and similar cases
are embraced. Whenever heroism is
displayed by man or woman in saving
human life the fund applies"

An Odd Hunting Accident.

A remarkable hunting accident took place iC the forest of -Rambouillet re- gently. The Duchess d'Uzes hunts in the forest twice a week. The Paris correspondent of the Newcastle Chroni- gle states that on this occasion a stag which had been put up was in full light when suddenly the Duchess de Luynes appeared riding leisurely just in the terrified animals front. Think ing only of escape from its pursuers, the stag instantly sprang to vault over horse and rider, but caught the duch- css, carrying her from the saddle and failing with her, while the horse bolt ed. Fortunately the soft turf broke tue fall, and the duchess, on the approach of the hunt, was able to rise with a laugh and none the worse. A similar accident happened to the king of Eng land at Compiegne twenty-five years ago

FEATURES OF EDUCATION.
How the Exhibit at St. Louis Will Be Distinctive From That at Any
 Other Centennial.
Dy CLAUDE II. wETMoRE.

ny tLalbEs !" Education finds more recognition in he Louisiana Purchase Exposition than in any previous centennial celebration. | It is the keynote of the great enter prise, permeating every display. More | over, tie idea in its abstract has a home of its own, in that for the first time in history the appliances of school life are shown in a building constructed ex- clusively for this purpose.
 At Chicago and at Paris this exhibit was made q department of something | else. At St. Louis it is seen alone, housed in a palace which many con- slider the most perfect architecturally of any on the grounds.
 Besides, in the classification of ex- rank over fine arts, manufacture and all the industries.
 In remarking these facts visitors have | added that 1t was strange such promi- nenee had not been given to education before, and they are loud in their praise of those who have carried the idea so prominently to the front.
 In St. Louis the revealment of process will be carried out in the Palace of Edu- cation as well as in the other palaces. Formerly 1t was deemed sufficient to arrange in booths samples of text books and of apparatus of the laboratory and observatory. Appliances used in the schoolroom were displayed convention ally, and visitors could pass through aisle after aisle and view only the technicalities of the world of instruc tlon. As result the pedagogue only was interested.
 In St Louis, however. there Is to be actual demonstration of the use made of all such appliances, and the multi tude will find itself entertained. Thus the model training school will be a creature of life-boys to be seen using the tools of the various trades. Pupils of n school for the blind will demon strate the methods in vogue where the sense of touch is made to supply that of sight. and those who are deaf and dumb will also be given opportunity to display their method of instruction. College professors at work in labora- tories promise entertainment for the layman, and like wise there will be demonstration of the methods em- ployed in using the modern telescope and taking photographs of the sun, moon and stars.
 Supplementing these active exhibits will be others quite as interesting that have been secured from all over the world by means of the camera. Enter one booth and turn the swinging doors of a movable cabinet. You will see picture after picture illustrating school life. the children entering q class room, the pupils at recitation, in fire drill. during the recess hour-in fact, through all the stages from the hour when they assemble for their studies i until time comes for dismissal. As illustrations of public school life In large cities, New York, St. Louis, Cleveland and other municipalities have planned to make extensive dis plays, while cities of the old world will ] bring their systems into comparison.
 Higher education is exemplified as , never before at worlds fair. All the large colleges of the United States have prepared extensive exhibits
