erously and very wisely provides retiring
pensions for teachers In her public schools
and also for her policemen. Very few in
deed Of our colleges are able to do so.
The consequences are grieyous. Able men
hesitate to adopt teaching as career and
many old professors whose places should
be occupied by younger men cannot be
retired
Il have therefore transferred to you
and your successors as trustees SlOOOO,O09
per cent first mortgage bonds of the
United States Steel corporation. the rev.
enue from which is to provide retiring PEN
sions for the teachers of universities, col
legcs and technical schools in our own
country, Canada and Newfoundland, un-
der such conditions as you may adopt
from time to time. Expert calculations
show that the revenue will be ample for
the purpose.
"The fund applies to the three classes
of institutions named without regard to
race, sex. creed or color We have how
ever. to recognize that state and colonial
governments which have established or
mainly support universities, colleges or
schools may prefer that their relations

most efficient service.
ut is Mr. Carnegie's belief that this
fund will not only provide dignified
pension system for a body of most worthy
self-sacrificing and poorly paid men, but
that 1t will be of distinct value to the
cause of education in offering an oppor-
tunity to the trustees of college to re-
tire members of the faculty who have
faithfully served the institution for many
years and to replace such men with
young, vigorous and efficient professors.

data from all the institutions concerned
for use at the meeting Of the trustees.
The bonds which Mr.. Carnegie has so
generously donated have market value
of sl1 100000 and will produce an annual
income Of 100000.
The corporation which is being formed

Senator CaImack IN conversation with

with almost unerriug accuracy what

Hear what, Uncle Tom?'

REQUIRES HONEST MEASURES.

One act of the Legislature worthy
OF rote is that making the standard
weigh of bushel of cornmeal. wheth-
bolted or unbolted 4S pounds, ana
making it unlawful to pack. sell or
offer for sale any cornmeal except in
nags OF packages containing by stand
ard weight two bushels, one bushel.
one half, one-tourth, ne-eighth
bushel The bag or package must be
stamped 'bolted" or "unbolted" with
the amount in bushels or fIacti on uf
bushel, and the weight in pounds.
This does not prohibit the sale of
meal by the pound from bulk stock.
The bill was framed by Mr.. Corn,
himself miller, and who sought to
stop the practice of dishonest dealers,
who order meal in hays stamped so
as to show fractional parts of bushel,
when they contain less than the stand
ard weight. He stated that as q mil
Ter be had to put up alleged
half bushels ranging fro IN
10 to % pounds. as against the stsnd-
ard weight of "a pounds. This act is
not enective till Sept. /, 1905.

A CLOCKMAKER'S MISTAKE.

An American maker of clocks was
informed that the tribes along the
Kongo in Africa might prove profitable
customers He learned that they were
making their purchases in England
and he sent for sample of the clocks
they were buying Then his factory
began to turn out better clock of the
same design. The wood was finer and
more highly polished. the dial was
more attractive and the mechanism was
ahead of the English clock. He sent
on a consignment, but his wares failed
to sell. Then he did what he should
have done at fiIst-sent an agent to tie
Kongo tribes. 1t was discovered that
the natives knew that the American
clock was superior. nut they preferred
the kind made in England because
those clocks had a louder tick. OF
what use was it for a trlbesman to
have time reckoning importation from
the land of white men if his less for

TYPES OF WEAK MEN.

The man who allows his anger to
throw him off his balance, who falls an
easy victim to passion and permits his
breast to be filled with murderous Ie-
sentiment. is weak man and not a
strong man. He is too weak to master
himself and in his vanity and barba-
rOus egutlsm he places his own sense of
anger and his selfish instinct above
the rights of others and the fair and
Just requirements of law and society.
Anger is p0 evidence of courage. Pas
sion is most quickly manifest in the
man In whom mere animal impulse
easily dominates reason M-re brute
courage supported by anger is coward
ice compared with moral courage.
The bullying, quarrelsome, brawling
brute ever ready to fight somebody in
time of peace, has heen known to whine
like cur and run like coward in
battle where the bullets are not re-
specters of person. lie has been known
to flee from contagion when the
stricken needed aid, and to hang back
from burning building deaf to I'm
pioring cries while quiet. peaceable
men with never quarrel to their dis
credit risked their lives to save the
endangered.
He is poor sort of man who cannot
control himself. The man who is
pitiable weakhng in the face of temp;
tation, who is most apt to become -
tlrunlard or gambler or to yield to-
lustful passion, and who mistakes the
very weakness of his vain anger for

it is conducive to the health and happi-
ness and good order of the community
for lewd negro women to lounge about

streets, repeal the law. If you want
men to sell whiskey on Sunday, repeal
the law. If it is all right for a man to

law. But whatever laws remain on the
statue books, should be enforced.
To arrest man for drunk and dis
orderly conduct and resisting an officer,
and fine him and never collect the fine,
is a mere mockery law enforcement.
To arrest man for selling whiskey
or beer without license and impose a
fine upon him, and then permit him to
walk away for parts unknown without

FOR A NEW PARK
Commissioners Want to Buy Land at

probably no one is regarded as of such
pressing necessity for the present and fu-

carry it under the first, or short, arch OF

sixty feet directly south of the south
abutment of the bridge and leading west
