Helen Could. Charities.

The charities of Miss Helen Gould
amount to about s5OO,OOO annually. and
while this amount seems small in COM
parison to the great sums given away
by Rockefeller and Carnegie it must be
borne in mind that Miss Goulds dona-
tions are nearly all Of a personal nature.
1t is said by authorities on the subject
that Miss Gould contributes to more in
dividual charities than any other person
in the world. Through her secretary more
than $3500,000 has been distributed TO
thousands of benefciaries. About 200 per-
sonal letters asking for help are sent to
her each day.

our real intelligence is in no way bound
up in them.
Now when, in the course Of human in
tercourse, these inherited ideas and pre-
judgments of ours come into contact with
a set of ideas which clash with them, 1t
is the easiest thing in the world to fall
back on the old conception of the savage.
to whom the stranger is always an
enemy, and throw spears and stones at
the idea not yet fully accepted Of man.
kind. It is the easiest way of getting
rid of them-and man always moves along
the easiest lines. Having engaged in this
brief intellectual combat, we go away
strengthened in the old beliefs and full of
renewed contempt for the believers.
And this is written to those who have
thought out their own positions in life,
whether in social matters. politics or re-
ligion, to urge upon them the almost COM
plete uselessness of setting their own in
telligent notions upon the completely
prejudiced and unintelligent conceptions
of their more conservative brethren. 1t
is usually a waste of time, thought and

ONE MILLION OF sTAMPs-M. c. B..
City. The following is the story of the
offer of 500 for 1000 600 cancelled postage
stamps which a great many people be-
1ieve still holds good. The story as re-
lated by M. o. Baird of Palo, Ia, is:
1.-The collection was made in full in the
city of Cedar Rapids, Ia, think, during
the year 1882 The circumstances were
as follows: An aged lady wished to en-
ter the Old Ladies' Home In the city of
Cedar Rapids. but in order to do so she
had to have $i0O. The editor of the Cedar
Rapids Gazette, F. w. Faulks, noted for
his interest in all benevolent works and
institutions, conceived the thought of
raising or securing million stamps, and
an enterprising business man offered 800
for the same. The Gazette editor used his
paper freely for the enterprise and in
vited any one and every one In the State
of Iowa to contribute cancelled two-cent
stamps to the collection. The stamps
came pouring in ty the thousands. In an
almost incredible space of time the num-
ber asked for was secured and the old
lady was given an opportunity to enjoy
the fruits of the enterprise The stamps
were on exhibition in the show window
of a store in the city named, and I saw
them several times" Since the move
ment was started In 1889 every now and
then there appears a paragraph in some
paper to the effect that 500 Is offered
for 1000 900 stamps, and as often as It
appears some one starts to make a col
lection.

Two Changes in the Personnel Of
the Teaching Staff.
BUILDINGS ALL EQUIPPED
Superintendent and Teachers Confer
This Morning-Everything Ready for
the Fall Term--Astoria's Children
Well Looked After-Moneay the Day

There is considerable activity in the
various departments of the public school
service of Astoria, preparatory to the
opening OF the new school year on Mon.
day next, The school board and its
officers and committees; Superintendent
4. l.. Clark and his colleagues, the
teachers and doubtless, the children,
who are TO attend, and necessarily
their parents, guardians and caretakers,
are all actively arranging things, ac'
cording to their several spheres of in.
terest in the approaching term.
At the last meeting of the board Of
school directors the assignment Of
teachers to the buildings, grades and
rooms was, mreservedly, intrusted TO
Superintendent Clark. and he promptly
made the assignments for the entire
corps as published in these columns on
Saturday of last week. and il was hoped
the matter would stand a determined
then, but, yesterday, it developed that
Miss Caroline Forester, who was TO
have been assigned to the second room
of the Alderbrook school, provided she
accepted the profrer Of room and salary
wired her by Clerk Ferguson, announced
to the authorities that she had accepted
a place in the knappton schools, be.
fore she had heard from the Astoria
board; and that Miss Augusta Holiness
assigned TO the third room, Alderbrook
school, had resigned. thus leaving the
board with two vacancies TO fill and but
little time in which to do il. After
close scrutiny of certain applications for
places, on file with Clerk Ferguson, and
of the qualifications Of the applicants
it was decided to wire the Fisk Teach.
ers' Agency. at Portland, to furnish two
competent ladies in this behalf. This
was done and hope is entertained that
the demand will he filed today.
Superintendent Clark has given per,
-onal attention to the preparation and
equipment of the seven public schools
buildings and their "a rooms, and every.
thing is in wholesome and convenient
shape for the occupants and their work.
At 10 o'clock this morning the prin.
cipals of the seven schools will meet
with Superintendent Clark at the high
school for a general consultation on mat.
tiers of importance. and within the hour
the grade teachers will hold another
meeting of the same sort; these meet.
ings are provided for to assure a thor.
ough understanding throughout the en-
tire staff as to the organic measures
necessary to be maintained for the prop
er and successful conduct OF the schools.
BY the end Of the forthcoming week
it is thought by those best posted in
such matters that fully 400 scholars
will be enrolled.

America Preparing to Build up
South American Trade.
GOVERNMENT TAKES ACTION
President Sends Judge Penfeld to In
vestigate Conditions-German Au-
thorities Have no Fear of Losing
Trade as Result of Competition.

Berlin, Sept. l5.-The action of Presi'
dent Roosevelt in sending Judge William
L. Penfield, solicitor of the state depart
ment, TO investigate the trade relations
between the countries of South Ameri-
can and those of Europe with the view
of improving commerce with the coun-
tries lying to the south of the United
States. has attracted considerable at.
tention here.
The Central Bureau for the prepara.
tion of commercial treaties, private
organization, representing the views of
a large section of Germany, declares
the mission of Judge Penfeld is an in.
dieation that the authorities at Wash
ington mean to go forward Full steam
ahead" to capture the South American
markets.
Nevertheless it is pointed out by the
Bureau. the action of the American gov
ernment fails to find an adequate echo
in the American business world, and it
adds that there are many indications
that the commercial classes will not
avail themselves of the advantages open
to them through governmental action.
The bureau calls attention to the reel
procity treaty between Cuba and the
United States, which, although offer.
ing heavy discrimination in favor of
American imports, has not damaged the
trade in German and other European
goods to the extent apprehended but
that, on the contrary, imports from
Germany are actually increasing in spite
of the treaty. According to the bureau
this proves that competition from the
United States need not be feared in
South America.
