Harvard or some other of the more fla
 nous colleges. He replied:
 T doubt whether I should have been bettered thereby. The small college has many advantages over the large one. Its students come more closely in contact with their professors, they get to know each other and they form stronger friendships, which are of ad- vantage in after life. There is more
 earnest work dono in the small col- | leges, education is a more serious busi- ness there, and upon the whole l doubt whether I should have gained by going to one of the large eastern | schools"
 Do you think a college education paysT
 "Yes, every boy who can should go | to college. The training there will
 develop him and make him better able
 to grapple with the strenuous life and | the great problems of the day. Fairbanks Ancestry. | Senator Fairbanks had curious ex- rerience in Lancaster, Mass, a year or
 so ago. He had to make a speech there
 in connection with George Frisbie Hear, Henry Cabot Lodge and other de- scendants of old New Englad families. When his time came to address the | audience he was surprised that the chairman did not introduce him, and he was afterward told that there were
 so many of his ancestors buried in the cemetery outside that he needed no
 introduction to that community. | Senator Fairbanks comes originally
 from Jonathan Fayerbanks, a Puritan
 who came to Boston about sixteen
 years after the advent of the Mayfower | ar Plymouth Rock. From Boston old
 Jonathan went to Dedham and built
 a home there which am told has since
 been acquired by the Massachusetts
 Historical Society. From Dedham
 some of his descendants went to Lam
 easter and others moved on to Ver- mont. Senator Fairbanks father was born fin Vermont and began his life work as 6 hand fin q wooden mill at l Lowell. When he was sixteen he moved west to Ohio and worked there for 37 1-2 cents day.
 This was when Ohio was just set ting. and there was great demand for wagons The senator's grand uncle was A wogan maker in Massachusetts and his father, observing this demand,
 went back home and learned the wa
 pon-making trade and then came to
 Ohio to practice 1t. He there made
 partnership with q wagon maker In linton county and married his daughter,
 who /thereby became Senator Fair hanks mother. The wagon business
 nroved good and the family soon got
 far enough ahead to buy land and to amass a competency.

Burglars Rob Postomce.

Burglars robbed the postoffie at Pa los, a mining camp in the western part of Jefferson County, early this morn ing and then fired the building. The postofflce was located in the store of the Palos Coal and Coke Company. a Pennsylvania owned concern, and the fire not only destroyed the store house but ignited to the coal tipple and burned 1t to the ground. The pecuni- ary loss Is not SO great as compared to the loss of time at the mines. The mines are operated with union labor and have been working steadily. There is no clue to the burglars.

Birmingham. Sept 3.-(SpeciaL)-

 Shefield Steel and Iron Company, to- day announced that the operators in the coal mining sections of the State where the strike Is on. would take stems to stop interference by the lead CTS of the union men with the new la bor being brought to the district.

 granted.
 Of forty-six men brought from the
 Middleboro, Ky, district Thursday by the Republic Iron and Steel Compa-
 ny, forty-three were induced to accept the obligation of the union miners and that number will return to Kentucky at once.
 The operators claim that the coal
 production is increasing. On the other hand the miners claim to be holding
 their own. The work of erecting hous-
 es and tents to take care of the rhen
 who have to leave the company houses during the coming week is being push
 ed. The officials of the miners deny
 that they are offering any Inducements
 to the non-union men being brought into the district to quit their jobs, but say that as soon as these men as- certain that strike is on they quit work on their own accord.
 The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rail- road Company banked its Cxmoor fur mace again. The Tutwiler furnace at Vanderbilt near here was blown out | today to permit epairs An effort will be made to resume work at Bloc ton in Bib County. The operators as- sert that they will Do able to bring

He predicts an amicable set | tlement in Tennessec The miners will accept a reduction of seven per cent in | their wages in that State, a referen-
 dunn vote to be taken September 1T. Mir. Fairley states that the fight in this district will be kept up to the finish.
