A Transparent Fiction.

The late Clarence H. Clark, of Phil
adelphia, had one of the finest private
libraries in the world. Mr.. Clark was
an authority on incunabula and on first
editions.
A Philadelphia auctiOneer once sub
mitted to Mr.. Clark copy of Dicken
Little Dorrit." The auctioneer said
that the owner of the book claimed that
it was a first edition, and he wished to
know if the man spoke the truth.
Mr. Clark examined the work. Then
with a smile he said:
THE owner spoke the truth to the
same extent, as friend of mine once
did on his honeymoon.
Starting with his bride on the hon.
eymoon, my friend entered railway
office and, as always in the past bought
only one ticket.
The bride noticed the oversight at
once.
why, you bought only one ticket,
DEAR she said.
"'By Jove!' the fellow answered. ]

letters were taken until one day in the
courtroom, during the present trial, he
got an inkling that something was
wrong and dashed out of the room ard
took car for Utica place. He ran up
to his room and peered in the trunk
The letters We're gone.
There then presented itself to the
attorneys for Augustus Hartje legal
predicament. 1t was stated that If the
detectives had opened the trunk ana
distracted the letters they would be
liable for theft. Yet it was desired to
show where the letters came FROM The
solution came in cross examination
Tom was shown the exhibits No, he
said, he had never seen them before
and they We're not his letters. That
was the desired answer. If they were
not his letters they could not have
heen stolen from him.
II is said John S. Robb, Jr., the as
sistant district attorney, is to prose-
cute the detectives for larceny and that
is one of his reasons for coming into
the court room.

Knives forks and spoons are con-
stantly disappearing. Hotels pride
themselves now on the fine quality of
their china and silver. so the aggre-
gate loss yearly in dollars and cents
Ia enormous.
Nor is it silver alone that is taken.
Hotel table linen and towels are favor
lite trophies. Only those of highest
quality are used but none ever stay at
the hotel long enough to get worn
Soap dishes vanish so quickly that
they are screwed to the wall.
Sofa cushions cannot be kept on the
divans in the halls After a recent
large banquet it was found that scarce
ly half the spoons accompanying the
after dinner coffee returned to the kit
chen, and a considerable number or
the cups were missing. These tiny
cups, by the way, are fslvorite trophies.
At one hotel fifteen dozen of single
design disappeared inside of three
siderable discretion in their use.
AT another hotel, where large con-
vention was to be held the proprietor
resolved to head off the inevitable loss
of his valuable table accessories. so he
had made for this occasion large
number of attractive but comparatively
inexpensive china dishes with the
name of the convention and the crest
of the hotel.
AS he expected when the delegates
were gone, practically all of that par
ticular set of china was gone, too, but
the hotel keeper felt that the expense
was more than balanced by the saving
in other articles.
The Hotel Keepers Association has
been forced to take the matter up. and
systematic crusade against the NUS
ance will doubtless ensue; where one
hotel could not run the risk of alienat-
ing patron, together they can work
effectively.

NAVY GETS NEW RATION.
Now Said to be the Best Fed Military
ORGANIZATION in the World

Washington, July lin the last ma.
val appropriation act, provision was
made for a change in the naval ration
and bureau of supplies and accounts
has prepared a ration in accordance
with the legislation. 1t is now asserted
that the United States navy has a bet
ter ration than any army or navy IN
the world. The advantages of the
present ration are that it is more f1ex-
ible and makes il unnecessary to issue
communications to sailors in place of
a regular ration. Added to the former
ration are preserved and fresh fruits,
fresh milk, f1avorng extracts, fresh
fish, and sauce. The amount of timed
vegetables has been increased, while
a decrease has been made in macar-
oni pickles, rice and sirup.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ress. and that is by constitutional rem
e6ies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
re suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
It's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ter are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inf1amed condition of
the mucuous surfaces.

UNIQUE Trust Fund.

TCincinnati Commercial-Tribu
In 1S4S Charles +. Mckay, of Georgia
but temporarily in Philadelphia, de-
posted with the Girard Trust Com
pany of that city the modest sum of
sSS7.75. with directions to invest 1t In
the public securities of Pennsylvania, !"
adding the interest as it was collected,
and "that this process of compromising
shall continue until the time shall ar
rive when the fund from the deposit
and the accumulation thereof shall
equal the debt at that time owed by
Pennsylvania Thereupon the trust
company is ito pay over the said &C
cumulated fund to the treasurer of the
state of Pennsylvania of the purpose of
dischargng the said debt In 1S49
Mckay increased the deposit to the
sum of $4,000. With accumulations OF
interest there is now in the trust COM
pany's keeping the neat little sum of
S1S,75O, invested in Pennsylvania per
cents.
Who Mr.. Mckay was, and why he
cid that which he did, is not known to
the press of Philadelphia beyond the
fact that he was a native of Georgia
and once lived in that city. But the
singular part of the story is that the
state knew nothing Of her benefactor
until the state treasurer, desiring to re-
fund the per cents at a lower rate,
requested to know at what price the
trust company held the bonds of that
issue in it's possession. Thereupon the
president of the company told the story
in writing, and declined to surrender
4
ket value-$110-andl accrued interest.
The pertinent and the absorbing ques-
ton in Pennsylvania today is. "Who is
Mckay, and why did he do it?" and
there seems to be no answer forthcom-
ing.
The total debt of Pennsylvania today
is $2,90O,O00, with $2,700,000 in the
treasury available for the redemption
of outstanding bonds The Mckay fund.-
in the meantime is compromising and
accommodating and is pointer to Penn
sylvania to do even as Ohio did-prac-
tice economy and wipe out the last
dollar of blooded Indebtedness and in
cur no other of the same sort. From
small beginnings the Mckay fund has
grown to proportions quite handsome,
and the increase will be more and more
handsome as the Years go by. Not
enough, indeed, to pay off the 100000
balance against the state-and not
enough for some years-but enough to
suggest that when economy and good
government have brought down the
100000 balance to reasonable figures
the generosity of the comparatively
unknown donor will come into good
play 1t might also be suggested to
Pennsylvania to go slow in the matter
of making a new bonded indebtedness,
for donors of the Mckay makeup are
exceedingly scarce.

INCREASE TEACHERS PAY.
Public Schools Threatened by Pi
tances, Says Pedaaoeue.

so'SSoS Ooy
New Haven, Conn. July 11.-Greater
expenditures for public schools, espec-
tally to be devoted to providing higher
pay for teachers, was advocated yes
terday by Calvin N. Kendall, Of In
dianapolis, before the American lnsti-
tute of Instruction, which is in session
here. Mr.. Kendall declared domestics
We're better paid than women teachers
and street cleaners earned more
year than men of the public schools.
The most intelligent We're avoiding the
profession of teaching on that account
and he declared private schools are
multiplying 10 the detriment of those
supported by the public. Mr.. Kendall
said in part:
The public can afford to pay more
for schools than at present. because the
country is prosperous, is growing rich-
err. and good schools contribute as no
other force does to the various kinds OF
productive citizenship. Therefore
more should be expended in giving
teachers better pay.
The teacher is the determining fac
tor in the success of the schools. We
demand teachers possessing good
health, scholarly attainments. teaching
power. social refinement and the abil-
ity to use good English. So far as
schools fall short of teachers possess
ing these qualities so far are they
wasteful and so far do they fail to ac-
complish their purpose, the produc-
ton of intelligent citizenship and social
efficiency"
MIR. Kendall said that in the cities OF
the United States, excepting New York,
Boston. Chicago and Philadelphia. the
average yearly salaries of women
teachers in the elementary schools was
only $3.50. In half of the cities the
average salary is less than $500.
so far as men are concerned ne
said, they have practically disappeared
from teaching in the elementary schools
of cities owing to the inadequate sal
aries.
Domestics Better Paid.
"The wages for women in half the
cities are less than those of servant
girls when it is considered that the
latter pay nothing for board. room and
laundry. Moreover. they have no social
position to maintain and the require
ments of dress are far less expensive.
In many cities the minimum wages or
teachers are less than laborers on the
streets. This labor is entirely unskill-
ed while the teacher has spent years
in preparation. The wages of skilled
labor are from % to 100 per cent high
err than teachers wages. The wages of
teachers in the cities are princely In
comparison with those in the rural
schools. In view of the demands ma6e
upon them teachers are therefore
miserably underpaid. 1t seems incred-
ible that the pay should be so made
quate for those in whose hands rests
the training for citizenship
