Butte, Mont, June 25.-The trial
Of Michael +. Ryan for a criminal as
sault upon Mabel Vaughn Hicks, IL
years DID, was commenced before
Judge McClernan. The tory Of the
girls wrongs at the hands of man
who is old enough to be her grand
father is a pitiful and revolving one,
and if true, describes one of the most
dastardly outrages ever perpetrated
in any community.
County Attorney Breen said that the
state purposed to show that Ryan
who is over so, had been guilty of as
saulting the child for period lasting
over thirteen months, and that he
used his daughter, a girl about the
same age as the Hicks girl, as a decoy
to lure the victim to his house. Threats
of lynching have caused extra pre-
cautions being taken to guard the
prisoner. ......

A Gaelic Revival.

The most beautiful sign pointing toward a new Ireland, says recent visitor to the island, is to be found in the great Gaelic revival which has taken possession of her people. The old language, the old customs and the old traditions are being brought again into the life of the people. As result a love of country has been created which is more exalted and more noble than anything that could have it's origin in politics or economics. The Land League aimed at the material betterment of the Irish people, and it has won. Prosperity and contentment now are within reach. The new move ment for race revival is intellectual and spiritual in its scope. It aims to build up an Irish Ireland. More potent than appeals to this country or the ar guments on the material advantages will be the renaissance which brings beauty poetry and love of country into the homes and hearts of the Irish peo- pie. It ought to be the panacea, and should successfully stem race suicide in Ireland.

An Author PensiOned.

Two British authors are at present in the public eyes on account of pen. sions they are receiving. Joseph Con. rad has $1,500 from the British So- ciety of Authors, which generosity is explained by the fact that the au- thor, whose writings are among those In greatest demand by the publishers to-day, yet seems to have difficulty in providing for his daily wants, says the New York Globe. The immediate reason for the pension, moreover, was the accidental burning of manu. script, which catastrophe so depressed MT. Conrad that his friends thought 1t wise to relieve him from the ne- cessity of anything so humdrum and sordid as looking out for his bread and butter.
 The case of Conrad can hardly fail to recall that of Carlyle, who, when Mill brought the disastrous news of the destruction of complete book of the Revolution" spent the evening in attempting to cheer the culprit-and then set about the rewriting.

Why Women Go to Parties.

The society reporter has made great discovery during the week. In common with other people she has been wondering why women go to so many parties when the effort often makes them so tired that they can scarcely drag one foot after the other, and now she knows. The lady who elucidated this problem says that she often at- tends parties when she doesn't want to go at all, because she is compelled to do so by the fear that people will think that she was not invited This accounts for the queer assortment of guests found at many large parties. for this lady seems to voice the senti. ment of many.
 A lady left out of the party has the desolate feeling of the small boy who Is not "in it." In consequence of this, women with no possible community of interests or tastes are brought to- gether for mutual entertainment, when they simply have no use for each other. Under these conditions parties are sometimes wearisome affairs, but sat isfy the pride of both hostess and guest. The latter gives indubitable proof that she really was invited. and the hostess shows to her acquaintance that she had the right to invite this especial guest. The fact that neither enjoys the others society has nothing to do with the social manifestations State Jour. nal.

A Custly Dollar.

A dollar of the coinage of 1894, of which there are only seven known to be in existence, has been bought by H. c. Brown, of Portland, Ore, from k. G. Parvin, collector of coins, for the sum of $2,OOO. The scarcity of the dollars of the 1894 vintage is ex- plained by an accident at sea. The larger part of the silver dollars of that year were struck off to pay Unit ed States soldiers and sailors doing duty in Tripoli, North Africa, and were shipped to that place. The yes sel that carried them away from this country was never heard from again, so the entire cargo is supposed to rest somewhere upon the floor of the At lantic Ocean.

 A look of surprise and curiosity was manifest in all the listeners, as he went on to give his reason:

Japs Railway Etiauette.

When a lady enters a Japanese rail- way carriage she slips her feet from her tiny shoes, stands upon the seat and then sits demurely with her feet doubled beneath her. A moment later she lights cigarette, or her little pipe, which holds just tobacco enough to produce two good whiffs of smoke. All Japanese people sit with their feet upon the seat of the car, and not as Europeans do. When the ticket col lector-attired in a blue uniform-en- ters the carriage he removes his cap and twice bows politely. He repeats the bow as he comes to each passenger to collect the tickets from them.

BEST PAID IN THE WORLD.
Teachers of the United States Lead
 Thoae of Other Countries.

Those of Other Countries. American school teachers, as com pared with teachers of other countries, are paid like bank presidents. Even the English teachers. who are regarded by thachers of Continental Europe as high-salaried workers, earn much less than the American. Differences in con- dition, and in the cost of living espe- cially, would have to be considered, but even in the light of all this the American teacher Is the best paid in the world.
 While the men principals in England earn about $650 year, the women principals earn less than $40 and the woman grade teacher earns about $20O. In the Canadian country districts few week, while in Toronto and other cities after ten years service they may earn as high as $40O a year. A man principal may earn as high as S1,5OO In the city districts. It must be taken into consideration, however, that in Canada the cost of living is lower than in the United States.
 In Belgium a teacher starts with $129, in addition to free rent. Ad- vances in salary are made with good conduct. The advance is not rapid, but at the end of five years an addition of $20 year Is made; at the end of ten years, $40; at the end of fifteen, $50, and after twenty years an addition of $12O.
 The condition of the Prussian teach CT is not one of luxury nor Is it cal culated to foster extravagant habits. In the country the average Is $21S and in the cities $341.
 Saxony requires two years of appren- ticeship to school tea aching and after | these years grants salary, which may be $120 year or $1SO, according to length of service.
 French teachers are no better paid than the Prusslan. The French Par liament recently had consented to raise the salaries little, though the increase Is to be made gradually, and 1t will take four or five years to complete the reform. As beginning it has been de- creed that no teacher shall be employ ed at less than $200 year. This ap- plies to assistant teachers and the reg ular teachers are to receive no less than $200.
 Italy is trying to be honest with her school teachers, but Parliament has re- fused thus far to do much in the way of pensions, and salaries remain low, the maximum in the city schools being $232.
 In the Netherlands, the state of pub lic educa tion is of high standard and salaries are in harmony with general conditions. There is no compulsory re- ligious education in the public schools and the State maintains a number of richly endowed institutions for the edu. cation of teachers. No teacher re- ceives less than $16O.
 Portugal pays ridiculously low sal aries, the minimum being $96 and the maximum, in cities like Lisbon and Oporto, $135.
