Cotton Stalks

NJ. W. Marsdcn, Of Philadelphia,
and Joseph Vile, Of Kentucky, who
several months since had lot Of cot
ton stalks shipped to Philadelphia to
have them analyzed, to find if there
was something valuable in them, re-
turned to Gonzales recently with sam
Piles Of what was found in them and
exhibited same to meeting of citizens.
The stalks were found to contain from
81 to 81 worth Of sugar to the ton, to
make fine samples of paper supe-
rior to wood pulp, two pieces of ma
terial resembling cclluloid, smokcless
powder composition, alcohol and a
valuable fertilizer
Mr.. Marslcn thought that an acre
Of average stalks would amount to
about three tons and that in the South
10000, 900 tons Of stalks were going
to waste that were capable of pro-
ducing that many hundred million dol
lars.
These gentlemen show their faith
in their investigations by Offering to
erect a plant at Gonzales for the con-
version Of the stalks into the various
articles shown, at a cost of $40, 900,
with possible increase to $500 if
the citizens would take go 900 pre-
fcrrcd stock There is no such
plant or industry yet in operation.

Prices At st. Louis.

The editorial article printed 10 tie
News Leader last week on the mani
fest tendency Of St. Louis people to
gouge visitors to the exposition has
brought US two letters from official
sources Of the exposition. Charles NJ.
Reeves, chief Of the domestic exploit
tation, writes that thoroughly sys-
tematized information bureau has
been at work for months on the ho-
tel md lodging situation. He con-
cedes that certain real estate owners
and rooming house-keepers have tax
! en- advantage of the situation and in
creased their prices beyond reason,
but this course, he says, is the excep-
ton aud not the rule. The exposition
management is ir position to furnish
lists of thousands OF private houses
and many good hotels, ranging from
frst.class downward, whose prices are
reasonable aud are graded to meet the
purses Of ell classes Of people. Some
times it has happened that proprietors
Of hotels and rooming houses have re-
| fused TO adhere to the schedules Of
prices given to the exposition manage
ment. All such offenders when re-
ported have been stricken from the
lists Of those recommended by the
! exposition.
Mark Bennett Of the department Of
press and publicity: in a personal
letter, encloses book containing a
! list Of five thousand names and ad-
dresses of persons prepared to furnish
rooms at from fifty GEMS to two dol
lars per person per night. We judge
from the information we have that
the gougers are comparatively few.
The best and surest way to avoid and
punish them is for everybody who in
tends to go to St. Louis to take che
trouble to write to the department of
domestic exploitation, St. Louis, and
ask for copy of the book which CON
tains directions and addresses and
prices. When the selection has been
made, write to che address to know
whether rooms and board can be had
q. the prices scheduled. The letter in
reply will be virtually contract and
there need be no fear of imposition.
All this will cost but two two-cent
stamps and little time anl hat will be
amply repaid by the avoidance OF
extortion and the relief from per.
plezity and anxiety.-Richmond News

One Perfect Woman.

Apropos Of the ideal woman, Presi-
dent Remsen told funny little story
the other day which was keenly en-
joyed by an audience Of women.
"A misguided man." said Presi-
dent Remsen, was once attempting
to address group Of ladies upon the
topic The Ideal Woman. By way of
introduction he asked: "Who among
you has ever known the ideal woman
herself or known any one who has
ever been intimately associated with
an ideal woman2"
There was Q depressing pause
which seemed to indicate q distress
ing lack Of perfect woman, nobly
planned, etc.

How the i'ious Parrot Corrupted.

a few years ago, while was in
New Haven said Yale alumnus,
according to the New York Times,
"a young woman friend Of mine, who
was going South for the winter, turn
cd over to my care her pet parrot, of
which she was very fond. The bird
was to remain with me until she re-
turned. | occupied suite of rooms
in one of the principal dormitorics,
and in the afternoons had many visi-
tors from the boys in college.
when the parrot came it was as
nice bird as one could expect to
find. She was thoroughly respectable
in her language. Among my daily
visitors was student named Smith,
who took upon himself the task of
educating the pet according to his
own ideas. 1t was his habit every
day to teach Polly choice student
expressions. believe if Smith had
put in half as much time on his stud
les as he did in trying to get that
parrot to use cuss words he would
soon have outstripped US all. Hour
after hour ne would sit there, repeat
ing over and over the particular words
he wished the bird to initiate, until at
last he would be rewarded with Go
to the DEVIL or some such express
sioh, which apparently would cause
him much Joy.
After Polly had been with US
about two months she seemed to have
forgotten all her early pious training.
She became thoroughly dis-eputable
in her language. Her choice express
sions, when she was aroused fairly dis.
tanced the proverbial trooper.
"When the young woman returned
from her Southern trip the first thing
she thought of was her beloved Polly,
and her ooachman was direoted to
drive to my quarters for the bird. The
coachman, after thanking me in his
employers name for the good care
had taken of the parrot, took Polly
away, much to the regret of my friends
in college. Barely an hour had clap.
sed, however, obefore he returned to
my rooms. The parrot cage hung on
his arm.

the bird. sir he said"

The House Divided.

Most persons have had the expert
cnce Of walking with friend out Of
stcp and trying to shift just at the
moment when the friend also makes
the attempt. This is an instance Of
thwarted harmony much like that
which appears in a story told by q
London journal of an elderly couple.
They were childless and had never
been united by the bond of other
lives linked with their own. SO they
were always in state of we'll bred
disagreement
Ga the subject of meals they disa-
greed thoroughly, and each usually
suggested dish for the Sunday din
ner which the other did not approve.
One Saturday the man came home
from market with basket
"You ncedn't worry about tomor-
lows dinner any more, Maria. I've

".And so have I, George. You were

"Yes, and Isuppose we'll have cold
goose and stewed goose for the next
two weeks.
They relaspcd into their usual 81
lence.
Sunday forenoon the wife asked, +,
"Do you want little ounce in the
apple sauce with your goose?"
"Your goose, you mean?"
'No, don't. 1t seemed so absurd
to have two geese in the house that 1

The trouble is over the scale Of wages
which went into effect Dec g. 1903 ut

Company was that the boats should
hold to $3.50 for each man per month
during the winter months The sum
mer scale is the same Us that of the win
ter months but the fall scale is 500.
The men here claim that they did not
know about the scale and they are
rather dissatisfied at being called out

under the impression that the full scale
was being paid but when they learned 10

Such, in brief, is to be the organiza
zation of the grades.
The present three highschools will be
discontinued In their stead will he or
ganized single highschool-th Cen
tral Highschool of the city. Instead of
three principals, three forces of assist
ants, three buildings, and three sets of
equipment, there will be but one princi-
pal, one building, one force of assist
ants, and one set of equipment. Taking
the place of three, the central highschool
will be very much larger than any one
OF them. All the money, books, and ap-
paratus now at the disposal of the three
will be at the disposal of the one
That organization which produces the
best results from the energy and money
expended by the community is the
system which should prevail; and that
the central highschool will do so seerls
positive and clear.
Such is the system proposed In the
place OF four districts, in charge of us
many school boards, there will be but
one district, taking in the entire city
and governed by a city board of educa-
tion. The system will be absolutely uni
form throughout and the duties of no per
son on the teaching force will conflict
with or duplicate the work of any other.
The establishment of city system of
schools will do more than anything else
that has taken place in the city since it's
foundation to make it one town in spir
it as well as in name, to bring its people
into close relation, and to inspire them
to strive for their common welfare rs
they should strive
That in itself is enough to make any
one take off his coat and fight for the
Central Highschool.
