SOMETHING DOING IN VIR.
GINA POLITICS

William Jennings Bryan in last
weeks issue of bis peper, The
Commoner, discusses the political
situation in Virginia, using IN
formation secured on his recent
visit to the Old Dominion. Among
other things he says:
"Have you heard from Virgin

"For some twenty years dis

his district in the Virginia State
Senate. He came from an old
family. stood high In society and
had a large circle of personal
friends. He was, however, gener-
al attorney for one Of the large
railway systems and by his politi-
cal influence aided his road in
matters before the Legislature. At
least this was charged and fight
was made against his renomina-
ton on this ground. The fight
was started by Professor Dodd of
Randolph Macon College. who re-
viewed Mr.. Wickham's record and
charged that he served the rail-
road at the expense of his consti-
tuents.
"The voters took the matter up
and rallied about the standard of
a retired naval officer who was
brought out against the senator.

NEW YORK, May 23-Half doz'
en- wealthy firms in the Maiden Lane
district are locking tor ]. Edward
BOeck, diamond broker, to give an
accounting Of gems Of great value en-
trusted to him on memoranda, and
which he secured to dispose OF to al
legged wealthy clients.4 THE exact value
jewelry 50 secured by Boeek is not de-
fnitely known because Of the unwilling
ness Of some of the firms 10 discuss
the transaction at this time, but esti-
mates on the jewelry establishment
place their value at from 100000 to
s25OOO0.
Boeck had office rooms at lT0 Broad
way, but had not been seen for over
a week. He lived in splendid style at
an uptown club, but inquiries show
that that he had absented himself from
his rooms for some days. Some Of the
frms who entrusted him with the yalu.
ables have called the attention of the
grand jury to the matter and that body
Is investigating the case.
Boeck, who Is a big, handsome man

eording to the stories told in the jew
elry district He made many big and
profitable sales, gained the confidence
and patronage Of wealthy patrons and
for that reason. found no difficulty in
securing jewels of value on simple mem

TRIUMPH OF l. c. $. STUDENTS,
Four Out Of Five Passed State Examina-
tion; Of Those Who We're Not
Students, Only One in Six Passed,

The great work that the lntemationa
Correspondence Schools, Of Scranton
Pa, are doing was never demonstrate,
more forcibly than il was when 90 can
didates for the position OF fire bos'
presented themselves to take the Stat'
examination before the State Mine In
spectors at uniontown, Pa.
Nineteen cf the candidates were |. G
S. students; fifty were not The prac
tical experience Of all averaged about
the same, and all had equal opportunity
to pass the examination. The result
was signal triumph for the |. G. IS
system Of training by mail. The -
candidates that were not students Of
the schools averaged only 54.i per cent
in the examination; only seven passed;
forty three failed. The nineteen /. G
s. students averaged 1852 per cent; 10
passed; only four failed.
The examination shows that the man
who has the foresight to invest a few
dollars and a little spare time in an
/. G. S. Course Of special training has
nearly six times the chance to pass the
examination as the one that lacks such
preparation; that the chances that an
/. G. s. student viii succeed are four
to one, while the chances that non.
student win fail are six to one.
The foregoing is simply one Of thou
sand instances where !. c. s. student;
have triumphed in examinations, in
promotions, etc. Such success ID easily
accounted for, when it is remembered
that these Schools have had nearly IL
years OF experience in teaching by mail
and have expended the great sum Of
one million dollars in the preparation Of
home study textbooks, which are so easy
to understand and to apply that any
man able to read and write can succeed
