rnE EDUCATIONAL gill.

II HE several speakers at the meet
I ing Of the New Century club on
sanrday night TO consider the question
ofa rev charter for the Board OF Edu-
cation put son,e points in a new light
and made a most convincing plea for
a charter along the lines Of the bill pre-
pared under the auspices OF the club.
Incidentally. 1t should be remarked
that the women Of this club have done
a most excellent work in patiently In
vestigating the Tratter. ana deserve all
credit for the broad and enlightened
spirit IN which they have gone about
the work OF investigating systems else
where. and an putting their accumula-
ted knowledge into the form OF a hill.
Mr.. Ward put the matter Of a small
board tersely when he declared that "a
board OF education is as much a busi-
ness enterprise as any corporation IN
the city and that such a board Is Moth
ing but board OF directors for the cor
poration. He argued that to transact
business expedltiously and without fric-
tion aud a loss OF valuable time a
small board such as Is now the custom
On many cities should be provided for.
he also explained the system 'oi
clecting the members at large and moi
by L.stricts as at present. This would
have tendency to make Members
feel their responsibility TO the whole
city and not merely 10 the wards
which they represent. as as present
Dr. Phillips whose reputation az an
educator Is very wide and who. there
fore. speaks az an expert. made an cx-
cellent point when he said; "A party
win nominate man in a ward that II
would not dare to nominate in the oits
at large" True. and not TO speak
disrespec;fuily OF the present board
witch contains some very excellent
members. there are men who are al.
re,tors now who could never have beer
eiected on a ticket voted Tor in all tn,
wards of the city.
The minor provisions In the proposeg
charter have points OF merit. The pro
vision for manager to devote hi
whole time to lool0Ing after the schoo
property. the purchase OF supplies ant
the keeping Of the ofitoial accounts.
neritorious. For neither twenty-fou'
nor seven men can do the work as efh
ciently as one expert who devotes hi
whole time to it, This business as nov
conducted is OF necessity subordinatei
totthe private affairs Of members Of tn
board.
Another feature that commends itsel
as the manner OF electing the member
OF the board. Instead OF being vote
for under party names and embiem'
there would be but one ticket. and tina
for the entire city. and the voter Soui
eimply erase the names OF those he d
not care to support, leaving those q
his choice remain--as is now done Q
primary elections.
After studying this bill we canno
withhold our approval. II is bushes
like and progressive; and it woul
almost certainly eliminate all politics
We trust that the members Of the Lee
islafure win study It carefully.

TO AVOID BIG COAL STRIKE
Sperators Ready TO Renew Existing
Scale For Three Years.


Ashland, Pa. Feb. 6.-That Presi-I
dent Roosevelt and John Mitchell have
an understanding a5 to the course to|
be pursued when the present wagel
scale in the anthracite region expires.
is believed to be evidenced by the ad-
vice given by the president to theI
mine workers who called on him att
Washington on their way home from
the national convention. To these
miners the preside ont eulogied Mitch
ell very highly, and strongly coanseledl
them to take his advice in any emer-
gency which may come up.
It is now believed that Mitchell will
urge the miners not to insist upon the
recognition of the union by the oper-
ators. nor that the collection by tho
latter OF the dues of the miners be-
turned over TO their organization.
It is known that the anthracite op-
orators have informed President
Roosevelt that they will never con-
sent to the closed shop" The operat-
ors are confident the miners cannot
win on this basis, and that there would
be strong revulsion OF public senu-
ment in the operators favor if the
miners should begin another titanic
struggle, such as was witnessed in
1902 on this issue.
The operators will consent to a re-
newal of the present wage scale for
another term of three years, and it is
now believed that Mitchell will urge
the miners not to attempt to wiring
the last possible concession out of the
operators. but to be content with pres
ent conditions. President Roosevelt.
taking time by the forelock, is known
TO be urging a continuation of the
scale fixed by his strike commission
It is a serious question, however,
whether Mitchell can control tho ac-
ton of the miners. 1t is known that
the strike of 1902 was begun against
his advice. and next year may see his
tory repeating itself.

MOONSHINE DEEP IN EARTH
Revenue Officers Break Up the Most

Richmond. Va.--After a fierce fight
with moonshiners revenue officers have
broken up one OF the most unique illicit
distilleries on record and captured
three distillers one of them a giant in
size and strength The list.ilery was in
Pittsylvania county. and was mo Nv feet
below the surface of the earth. the
moonshiners having excavated cor
ridors and chambers stretching in every
direction. In one Of the largest of these
rooms was the distillery. with a capac
ity of $50 gallons day of mountain dew
When the revenue officers tried to eff.
feet an entrance they were met by three
distillers-Henry Anderson, Franklin
Woody and John Doss, the latter being
of great stature. He struck Deputy
Marshal Lawson with his fist and
knocked him senseless. He was in turn
put hors de combat by a blow from the
butt of revolver. All three were
locked up and the still destroyed.

SPIRITS TELL OF MURDER.
Skeleton Is Found in Place Pointed
Out by Iowa Woman-Would
Speak with Man.

Des Moines. la.-From the spirits of
the dead Mrs. A. L. Baker of this city
claims to have discovered the cause of
the sudden disappearance of Frank s.
Richardson, a prominent farmer living
near Audubon. six years ago. Through
her visions she claims to have seen
murder and has actually directed exca-
vations near an old tree on the Richard
son farm which have resulted in the
finding of human skeleton believed to
be that of the missing man.
When Richardson disappeared there
was quite sensation. and though many
murder theories We're evolved no trace
OF the man could be found. Recently his
brother was In Des Moines and met Mrs.
Baker. He asked her to assist him in
the matter.
A few days ago she went TO Audubon
and two days after her arrival the skele-
ton was found. She is now here and
states she will return to Audubon in a
few days. to The spot where she believes
she may get in communication with the
spirit of the man she believes was MUIR

theory that the moon was original

Hawaiian islands were about In the
center Of this lunar genesis. The
space that was left when the moon
material was thrown of was the
Pacific ocean. The large volcanoes
OF Mauna Lea and Kilanea on the
island Hawaii and Haleakala on
Maui were, Prof. Pickering believes,
in many ways exactly like those he
had observed through telescope on

IRON SETS NEW MARK
EXPORTS BREAK ALL RECORDS
BY FOUR MILLIONS.
Statement Issued by Department Of
Commerce and Labor Gives Un-
paralleled Statistics-Steel
Included in Report.

Observation-Disclosures of iron and
steel manufactures from the United
States in the first eight months Of the
present fiscal year exceed those in the
corresponding months Of any earlier
year, being sS5.50O,OO0 in value, as
compared with ISL, 100000. the high
record made in the first eight months
of the fiscal year 1901.
A statement just issued by the de-
partment of commerce and labor
through its bureau OF statistics com.
pares the imports and exports Of iron
and steel manufactures during the
first eight months of each fiscal year
from 1885 to 1905. In 1885 exports Of
iron and steel manufactures during
the first eight months were less than
half the value of imports of iron and
steel manufactures, being sll,500,000,
as against s2S,0OO.0O0 of imports, In
1905. during the same months. the ex.
ports Of iron and steel are about six
times as much as the imports of iron
and steel. being SS5,5O0,0o0, as against
sl4.OO0.000 Of imports. Thus the bal
ance of trade in iron and steel which
in 1885 showed total of sl2,000,00
in favor of imports, shows in 1905 TO
date total of S7l 100000 in favor of
exports

from the United States is even more
