The latest statistics of the schools COM
prising this association, presented at the
convention held in 1906 show the number
of schools to be 153, with 4.O33 officers
and teachers, and a total enrolment of
42,141. The gain in numbers for that
year had been nearly 1900. and 1919 Sun

field worker at the coming convention
will show a correspondingly large increase
for the present year.

PROHIBITION IN MAINE.

From the Jacksonville Fla.) Metropolis.
 MT. w. B. Clarkson, the well-known attorney of this city has been in att tendance upon the National Bar asso- citation in Partland, Me, as a delegate from Florida. and has mailed, to The Metropolis Portland papers showing how prohibition fails to prohibit in that temperance state. Mir. Clarkson says, Prohibition does not prohibit here"
 Everyone who knows Mir. Clarksou knows that he Is strictly temperance, and does not make the above statement in the interest of the liquor traffic, but simply as matter of fact.
 Here Is what the Portland Times says:
 There are at least 154 places whera liquor is sold in Portland. according to the records of the liquor seizing force of the sheriffs department. Seizures were made at that number of places since the first of the year. The report for August shows that so seizures were made making 50S since the first of the year.
 'There have been 25O more eases of all ktnds, including trunks, assaults, liquor cases, etc. before the municipal court this year to date than for the whole of last year. AS there are four months yet 1t is probable that all records will be hrokan."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-09-08

and s14S79 for all other purposes. In 1906 the family spent S712S more for food than in 1896, $18.92 more for clothing than in 1897 and s7.SS more for fuel and light than in 1894.
 In the Independent Albert Britt uses the figures of the bureau of labor and also the figures furnished by Dun and Bradstreet, and he concludes that the cost of living is 40 per cent higher for the decade closing with the present year than 1t was at the beginning. The point he aims to establish is that the expenses of living have increased faster than wages. He makes a show ing in authoritative figures that is not easily answered-that perhaps cannot be refuted at all. The question cuts deep, and 1t will decide how many vote will be cast in the presidential election of next year, for through and in it all appears the Dingley bill with its sly taxes that few can see and still fewer measure correctly.

A FAMOUS PIPE.

From the Washington Herald
 One of the most cherished possessions of the family of Gen. W. B. Curtrs who commanded brigade in the army of West Virginia, is handsome pipe, made out of a limb which was wrenched from the famous apple tree at Appomattox be- heath which General Lee surrendered the forces of the Confederacy to Grant. The pipe was carved by Pennsylvanian of General Curtis command The apple tree was soon all taken for relics such as this famous pipe, and when, in lo66. the war department was placing tablets marking the important spots around old Appomattox court house, they found that soldiers in securing pieces of the tree had even dug down, so as to secure all of the roots, and so a tablet had to be placed, reading Near this spot stood the apple tree under which Gen. Robert E. Lee rested while awaiting the return of a flag of truce, sent by him to Gen. L. S. Grant, the morning of April g. 1885. Another heirloom of General Curtis is the saddle and brdle he used when he rode over the Confederate breastworks at the battle of Newmarket

SAD DAYS ON THE RIALTo.

New York Cor. Pittsburg Post,
 Today was day of sad partings on old Broadway Also 1t was a day that marked the failure of many aspirants who sought fame before the footlights. Labor Day has come to be accepted as the signal for starting the theatrical sea- son outside of New York. The curtains went up on first nights in thousands of cities and towns in what New Workers like to call "the provinces"
 A few weeks ago the resounding greet ing along that part of Broadway where actors congregate was, Have you signed?" Those actors and candidates for actorship who have not signed before now will have little chance this season.
 Thousands of them have left the Rialto sadly enough, if appearances are ac- curately indicative, for the road tours Some will play in the larger cities throughout the United, States and Can- ada, others will ''barnstorm" In the small towns and villages. with all the incon- veniences, hardships and absence of a chance for recognition" which a sea son on those one-night stands circuits means.
 From this time on Broadway will be given over to the regulars, those for tunate folk who are In Broadway pro- auctions and can stay "in town.'
