Coal Famine at Haley.

The coal famine on Wood River
is becoming more pronounced.
Coal ordered last June and July
has not been received, and the few
carloads that have come have been
divided between the consumers in
lots OF 500 to 1000 lbs. This scant
supply is now nearly exhausted,
and consumers are compelled to
borrow from each other by the
scuttleful, and to exc out the sup
ply by burning wood in their coal
stoves.
Some of the mines and mills
have been compelled to close down
because OF the lack of coal, and
wood has gone up in price and is
now difficult 10 get even at 81 e
cord. At this price is is much
more expensive than coal, because
it costs fully $3.50 cord in the
shed, and a ton OF coal will go
further in a stove than two cords
of wood.
Unless a few carloads are receiv-
cd during the next few days much
sefiering will ems ue.-Wood River

evening was equal in every respect
to those given by that lodge in pre-

it certainly did not injure that rep

While the crowd was not as
large as expected, owing to the
stormy weather, still all had

On his way to America after his en-

" after landing in Rhode Island, Ro-
chambeau set about the construction
Of Notifications that prevented Sir
Henry Clinton and Admiral Arbuthnot
from making an attack that they had
planned.
He sent his own son back to France
to negotiate for the transmission of
more troops and supplies. He had the
same interest in the cause of the revo-
lutionists that the American generals
had.
The work Of De Rochambeau in the
war did much to hasten the tagging
end. The concerted plan Of campaign
that terminated in Yorktown was
largely aided by the efficacy Of the
Frenchman The assaults made by De
Rochambeau and St Simon against
his stronghold convinced CORVALLIS of
the futility of his defense and led to
his surrender.

THE ARMY OF TEACHERS.
10000 Men and 100000 Women
Engaged In Schools of America.

10000 Men and 100000 Women
Engaged In Schools of America.
The army Of education in the Unit
ed States Is made up Of 100000 teach
ers, Of whom 10000 are men and $780,
900 women. The Overwhelming ma
jority of the teachers are natives of
the United States, less than 10000 hay
ing been born abroad-one in fifteen.
Most Of the male teachers are be-
tween the years Of twenty-five and thir-
ty-fve. The majority Of the women
teachers are between fifteen and TWEEN
ty-five.
There are $500 male teachers over
female teachers over sixtyfive. Three
times as many female as male teach
ers are put down as "age unknown"
There are $1,000 colored teachers in
the United States, thus divided be-
tween the two sexes: 1900 men and
1890 women. There are 500 Indian
teachers in the Indian schools Of the
United States-240 men and 26O wom-
en-.
The average age Of teachers In the
United States Is higher than in Eng
land and lower than In Germany. The
proportion Of very youthful teachers
is much greater in the country than
in the city districts.
The largest proportion Of male teach
ers is to be found in West Virginia,
where they number 80 per cent Of the
total. The largest proportion Of wom-
en- is to be found in Vermont, where
they form 80 per cent of the whole
number. The standard Of education is
very much higher in Vermont than it
is in West Virginia.
The number Of teachers in the Unit
ed States has increased greatly in re-
cent years. In 1871 there were 125, 600 !;
in 1880, 225,00O; in 1890, 100000, and
it Is at present 100000.

The court martial found Mfdship-
man Meriwether not guilty of man
slaughter but guilty of conduct to
the prejudice Of good order and mill
tary discipline" The penalty imposed
is a public reprimand by the Secre-
tary of the Navy and confinement to
the limits of the naval academy for a
year. The last penalty will be modi-
fed so that the midshipman will not
be debarred from participating in the
next annual practice cruise. This is
not harsh sentence for a court mar
tial. The fight between Meriwether
and Branch was in plain violation of
rules it was their duty to obey. DISC
bedience Of that kind, when it has
serious consequences and becomes
public, must be punished But harsh
er sentence than the one imposed-dis-
missal from the service, or suspension
for a year-Would have been unjust.
Public opinion, to the extent that it
expressed the views Of those familiar
with the facts in the case would have
condemned it. Manifestly the charge
Of manslaughter could not be sustain
ed after the evidence was presented
Meriwether was willing to end the
fight before it's fatal conclusion, and it
was Branch who insisted on going on
with it. The eliot Of blood on the brain
which caused Brains death was not
occasioned by blow from Meriweth-
er's fist, but by Branch striking his
head on the floor. 1t is deplorable that
the fight had a fatal issue, but the is
sue was no more anticipated by any
of those engaged in it than 1t would
have been If the participants had been
boys in a grammar school, who often
settle their difficulties with their fists
Branch challenged Meriwether to
fight If he had refused to accept the
challenge he would have obeyed the
rules and have ruined his future. He
would have been sent to Coventry by
his classmates. If able to graduate
the name Of coward" would have
chung to him and other officers would
not have associated with him. The
"code of honor" which obtains at An
napolis and West Point Is against reg
ulations and Is In defiance Of the prin-
ciples Of the peace society, but so long
as it exists the young men who go to
those schools will observe it. Few
men who understand what 1t means to
fly in the face Of the code will blame
the midshipmen or cadets who settle
a controversy with their fists when po-
litely invited to do so.

s4rument He plays on it like VIOLIN.
# sweeps from high to low. from louo
to soft, in perfect tune with the lnouu-
lations of his theme. He need nafuiy
speak above a whisper to attract Tug
close and strained attention Oh tne
whole House in a moment.
His command of sarcasm is, 1t IS
generally agreed, unequaled IN the
House. It is not of the bitter SORT
but Williams exposes Of the weak
points of the enemy's armor in sueh
a way that the enemy laughs, though
ruefully, while he writhes.
Though a Southerner, Williams IS
exempt from the prejudices of his sec
ton. One of his striking speeches
was that in which he defended Gen.
Sherman from the charge Of violating
the laws Of war in the march to the
sea. It was a remarkable address ana
was listened to with GREATNESS atten-
ton by the crowded House. one OF
his sentences was this:
"As an American citizen, as the son
Of a rebel soldier, as man WHO IS
intensely American, although he Is IN
tensely Southern, l want the world
to know that when civilized men were
fighting civilized men, upon the Amer
lean continent-one Of them in behalf
Of the cause of the preservation Of the
Union, as he understood it, and the
other in behalf of the cause Of local
independence, as he understood it
the watchword was chiyalry and fair
fight"

..Honest Abe.''

It is a significant fact that In COM
munity where crime was virtually I'M
known, where plain, straightforward
dealing was assumed as a matter Of
course, and credit was fearlessly asked
and given, Lincoln won an enviable rep
utation for integrity and honor In a
moral atmosphere Of this sort ordinary
veracity ana fairness attracted no par
ticular attention. Honesty was not
merely the best policy it was the rule
Of life, and people were expected to be
upright and just with one another. But
when clerk in a country store walked
miles to deliver a few ounces of tea
innocently withheld from a customer
by an error in the scales, and when
he made long, hard trip In order to
return a few cents accidentally over
paid him, he was talked about, and
the fact is that Honest Abe was a
tribute, not a misunderstanding.

able. The youth does nothing and sub
sequently and consequently he amounts
to nothing.


AboId calculator long ago announced
that the average man speaks about
twelve thousand words in a day, and
his wife or sister about eighteen thou
sand. BY what method Of observation
he arrived at the figures is still mys-
terry. Did he keep the sexes under
view as the biologist keeps his guinea
pigs or as Professor Atwater his vic
tins? Or was his sum total based on
a stenographfc report of the converse
ton at mans club on election night,
or at a womans luncheon the day af-
ter fashionable wedding? If the es-
innate is correct, the man who lives
out his 70 years will utter about three
hundred million words in his lifetime,
and the woman about four hundred
and fifty million. Imagination gasps
at the number Of repetitions Of favor
tie adjectives, like lovely" or awful
or Stunning" in so vast an outpour-
ing of words. Surely the reflection
might stimulate the increase Of ones
vocabulary. But before we settle
down to acceptance Of this calculation,
it is necessary to take into considera-
ton the opinion Of a clever English
woman, who has been recently writing
on the subject. She sets forth her con-
viction that the feminine sex is I'M
justly called the laxative sex, and
that taking the year together, men
talk more than women. It Is not i'm
possible that the woman's reputation
for talkativeness is partly based on
her ability and inclination to make
much talk Of little stuff. Although the
man may speak more, he may seem to
talk less, since he has more of i'm
portance to say. Still, small talk"
will continue to be a useful domestic
asset. Silence is by no means a sure
| mark Of wisdom. If there are those
who think too little and who talk too
much, there are quite as surely those
who neither think nor falkland dull
companions they are in this workaday
world.
