New Salary Bill Takes a Million.
official Estimate OF Minimum Salary Bill
Cost Shows 0ne-fii the Teachers Of
Tho Stale Will Be Affected.

An estimate made at the Depart
ment of Public destruction is that
from half a million to one million
dollars will be required annually to
pay the increase granted teachers
i'll the public schools by the Snyder
bill enacted last Winter.
Reports now being received from
the 1000 districts of the State form
the basis of calculation i'll making
tip this estimate. The reports show
the number of teachers who will be
affected by the act.
The act increases the minimum
salary of teachers from the present
figure of SIS a month to $40 and
$50 a month, and at least one-fifth
of the 2S, $50 teachers in Peunsyl-
vania's public schools will be di-
rectly benefited. Those holding
provisional certificates will here
after receive not less than $40 a
month, under the Snyder bill, and
those who hold professional, per-
manent or normal school certificates
and have had two years practical
experience will receive not less
than $50.
The act became operative June I
last, but the first payment of the
school appropriations by the State
under it cannot be made until next
June. The several districts must,
however, pay their teachers accord
ing to the terms of the law and wait
tor the State to reimburse them.
The last Legislature increased the
school appropriation 81 900, 600 per
annum and this Increase will enable
most of the districts to meet the in
creased salaries without embarrass-

An old printer recently died at
DesMoines, Iowa neglected by his
relatives. After he was dead a will
was discovered, bequeathing money
and real estate to the amount of
about SIoo, 900 among his brothers
and sisters who had left him to die
in the poor house. At once there
was a great scramble and the rela-
tives got into a quarrel among
themselves over the property, and
two of them engaged lawyers to
break the will so that they could
get more. These lawyers began to
investigate affairs, and it was dis
closed that there was no estate
whatever. The old fellow was
really the pauper he was supposed
to be, and his will was just a huge
joke, being his way of getting even
with those who neglected him. And
now maybe they amt mad.

OUR GREAT BATTLESHIPS.
The Connecticut Is the Most Power
ful Ever Built In This Country.

AS the newest, largest and most
formidable engine OF destruction in
our navy, and, save one, the heaviest
armed vessel In the world, much in
terest will attach to a description of
some of her leading features
Her keel was laid on March 10,
1903, and she was launched on Sep
tember 20, 1904. She is 450 feet
long by 76 feet 10 inches In extreme
width. About 1900 tons OF coal can
be carried in her bunkers Her speed
will be eighteen knots, and she
draws "a " feet of water. Nearly
$500 tons of steel plates have been
used In the construction of the hull.
Her total cost reaches sS,000,000.
1t Is said by one of the chief naval
constructors that Mt the time the
Connecticut was laid down she was
admitted by European naval experts
to be the best designed and most
powerful warship OF her class in ex-
istence, and she ia only exceeded at
present by the English Dreadnought,
of $4,000 tons, whose gunflre range
IS somewhat greater.
The dominant feature and supreme

ment, although some districts,
which depend practically entirely
upon the States appropriation to
run their schools may have to bor-
row money. Any district which
does not pay the increased salary
will forfeit its share o. the State
appropriation entirely, 50 the teach
ers are sure Of the increase.
The act by the last Legislature,
increasing the school appropriation
to 81, 500, 900 a year will not be-
come operative until next June,
and appropriations now being paid
are from the total appropriation of
S., 500, 900 a year.

rets, one forward and one aft. These
guns are capable Of hurling $780,
