OF the many thousands OF children, who
attend the public schools, correspondent
asserts that "the brightest and quickest to
learn are the Chinese and japanese. I'M
like the Americans they pay strict atten-
ton to their lessons and do not spend their
spare moments In throwing wads Of paper
and other missiles about the room. There
are about 200 Chinese children In New
Yorks public schools. The greater number
OF them attend the large school at Bayard
and Mulberry streets. In the italian dis
trict and on the outskirts OF Chinatown.
In this school there IN possibly a larger
number Of foreign pupils than in any other
school in the country. The instructors Of
the children of Chinatown are fluent in
many languages They can talk Chinese,
Japanese Italian and. OF course, English.
The Mongolians mingle with the white chill
dren play their games and lead in many
Of the sports on the roof. But when the
classes are called thesalmond-eyed children
show the most interest and bend themselves
most diligently to mastering their tasks.
And then, again, they are more punctual

Its so easy to complain" sighed an agent
of the New York Telephone company, as
he listened to the twentieth complaint Of
the morning; but II you knew the facts
II isn't the girls fault; It isn't that they
are not properly trained; the trouble Is
that each girl is doing the work of two.
We simply can't get operators enough and
those we do get we can't keep. Why7
Because this is the greatest marrying busi-
ness that ever a woman engaged in. We

land and garden on both sides Of the Gen.
esee, II has within its confines three water
falls Of imposing grandeur. One OF them,
within stones throw of the house in
which DR.. Letohworth lives, rivals the
American fall at Niagara in height and
volume of water. For a considerable por-
ton OF each sunny day the rising spray
from this fall produces. a beautiful rainbow,
from which the park gains the appropriate
name Of Glen Iris, or the glen Of the rain

pleasure seekers, so long as they did not
abuse the privilege. and II is estimated

In spite OF the tremendous amount Of
building in the business sections Of New
York, the demand for offices continues
greater than the supply, with the result
that Office rentals are 90 per cent higher
than they were two or three years ago.
Millions have been invested in Office
structures downtown in the last year. yet
with all these new buildings to be leased
and many others which have been pro-
jected and can be rented from the plans
many more Offices and loft buildings will
have to be built this or next year to meet
the demand.

No Gold is Sought in Paris.

Careful inquiry IN competent quar-
tiers seems TO establish conclusively
that the United States government
has not approached the French gov
eminent with the object of obtain
ing gold direct from the Bank OF
France in connection with the Treas
ury Department projected relief
measures, nor has the firm of J Pier
pont Morgan & Co. resumed the ne
gotiations with the Bank of France
for the shipment direct to New York
of from $20,OOO,OOO to s4O,OOO,0oO.
Prominent bankers who are N
touch with the situation believe that
the measures taken will bring the
currency famine in the United States
to a speedy close if the public shows
a disposition TO take President Roo e.

cessity for another appeal to the
Bank of France AT the same time

Dormitories for Michigan.

Michigan University is greatly
stirred over the suggestion made by
John Corbin in his recent magazine
article that the university vitality
needs dormitories, possible under the
quad" plan. to displace the present
rooming- system. The Michi-
gan Daily has taken the matter up
and obtained a number OF interesting
interviews on the subject.
An English college" said Presi-
dent Angel, might be called>a fam
ily,' with its masters supervising the
students and living with hem in the
dormitories. 1t was possible for
Eastern colleges, which are heavily
endowed. to adopt this system as
used in the College of Oxford At
present Michigan, with its small en-
dowments and appropriations, is not
able to house students, since it can
scarcely obtain the necessary equip
ment with which 10 educate them
properly"
Dean Hutchings took similar
view of the situation, while Professor
Scott accepted it, but made new
suggestion 1--WE are past the dor
mitory system said the latter, but
we might all eat together. A central
hall where great part OF the STU
dents could get together three times
a day apd eat, especially If there
were large, pleasant room adjoining
it, where the eaters could pass few
minutes in free and easy converse be-
fore and after meals, would be fine
thing for our students. both for their
stomachs and their souls sakes
Some one should be found to make a
gift or bequest for that purpose"

Pay Taxes in Certificates.

Commissioner OF internal Revenue
Capers, upon being shown dispatch
from Cincinnati TO the effect that he
had authorized internal revenue col
lectors to accept certified checks in
payment of taxes, said:
Il have never authorized internal
revenue collectors TO accept certified
checks within themselves, because |
had no authority to do so. The sec
rotary of the Treasury and the COM
missioner of internal revenue are
without power to direct collectors to
accept anything but coin or lawful
money OF the United States in pay
ment of revenue taxes or stamps.
What the equivalent of cash is, how
ever, is a matrer the collector has to
decide for himself, because he is un-
der bond. But in order to relieve the
situation the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue has directed taxpayers or
rather suggested 10 them that they
get certificate of deposit from any
national bank depository file that GER
ti6cate OF deposit with the collectors
and upon the receipt of that certifi-
cate of deposit the collector can issue
the stamps or the receipt TO the tax
payer

Corteayou's Remedy for the Financial
Situation.

Secretary Certelyou Sunday night
made the important announcement
that as a means of affording Keller TO
rhe financial situation, the treasury
would Issue 100000 900 of Panama
bonds and 100000, 900 certificates of
indebtedness or SO much thereof as
may be necessary. The certificates
will run for one issue and will bear
3 per cent interest
The secretary's action in coming to
the relief of the financial situation
meets with President Roosevelt's
hearty approval and the plan is the
outcome of the several white house
conferences which have been held
within the past few days when the
financial situation was under consid-
Grafton
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford most sub
stantial relief, as the law provides
that they may be used as a basis for
additional national bank circulation.
He also states that the proceeds from
the sale of certificates can be made
directly available at points where the
need is most urgent, and especially
for the movement of the. crops which
he says IF properly accelerated will
give the greatest relief and result in
the most immediate financial returns.
The secretary calls attention TO the
attractiveness of the bonds and certi-
hcates as absolutely safe investments.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him TO
meet public expenditures without
withdrawing for that purpose any APP
preciable amount of the public mon
eys now deposited in national BANKS
throughout the country. Two treas
ury circulars, one inviting proposals
for the issue of bonds and the other
asking for certificates, will be sent
out under date of November is. In
his letter to Secretary Cortelyou APP
proving the treasury plans, President
Roosevelt states that he has been as
sured that the leaders I'M congress
have under consideration a currency
measure which will meet in perma-
nent fashion the needs of the situa-
ton. and which / believe will be
passed at an early date after congress
conyenes two weeks hence"

County Auditors Will Form an Or
ganization

Fifty or more of the auditors OF
counties throughout the State are at
tending the meeting at the Denison
Hotel in indianapolis beginning
Wednesday. at which a State associ-
alton will be organized. A prelimin-
airy meeting was held in that city sew
eral weeks ago and the idea of an or
ganizatfOn was discussed A commit
tee, headed by Tom Nugent, auditor
of>Daviess county, was appointed to
prepare constitution and a set Of
bylaws, and November 20 was fixed
as the date for the meeting for per-
manent organization.
Nugent arrived in Indianapolis on
Tuesday and said that the main thing
in view was the adoption of a uni
form system of public accounting
There are ninety-two counties in
Indiana" he said, "and there are
ninety-two different kinds of book
keeping by the county auditors. Ev-
cry fellow that comes into Office has
his own ideas. Some of them are
good and others are very bad No
attempt has been made to bring about
uniformity. and now the auditors
are beginning to see the necessity for
a change. 1t is likely that at thi
meeting a committee will be appoint
ed for the purpose of preparing such
uniform system, and it will be in
structed 10 report at the next an
nual meeting. If the association sue
ceeds in this effort it will probably
ask the next Legislature to enact a
law establishing a uniform system OF
public accounting.
I'VE will ask Attorney
Bingham TO make an address, giving
us his Interpretation OF the public de-
pository law, which goes into effect
on December 1. We will also take
up the subject of gravel road and
ditch laws and seek TO have some
kind OF uniform Interpretation of
them 1t seems that every county at
torney in tsle State has his own opin-
ion regarding the application OF these
laws. This leads to confusion among
the counties"

Gone From Island Home.

Wrapped in the mystery of his her
NIT life, Harry Roach, at one time
James G. Blaine's private secretary,
has mysteriously disappeared from
his log cabin at Bruce Lake, ten miles
west of Rochester, Ind His cabin is
on an island and Roach dwelt there
for several years in solitude, living
on such fish and game as he could
get, and corn. wheat ard fruit taken
from farm fields. Once or twice he
became communicative and talked to
hunters of his interesting life with
Blaine and of the strenuous politics
incident to Blaine's career, but as a
rule he never answered a question
nor acknowledged a salutation of any
kind
Some think Roach may have fallen
out of his boat and drowned but there
is nothing left at his cabin to indicate
what has become of him His library
consisted of bound volumes of Wash
ington and New York newspapers of
the dates of 1882 to 1887, inclusive
