statistics were a little unintaresting Bishop

Interested in all that pertains to the mis-

of Il thought suggested by Rev DR.. Reese

against which missionaries wo ked. said

what little thing is the pick and shovel.
but must place faith in the power of the

The power of the water where the way
was opened by missionary pick and shovel
was proved in Japan. Here not long since

PAY OF THE. TEACHERS
DELAY IN PREPARING ROLLS
MYSTIFIEs OFFICIALS.

NO one at the District building today
seemed to know why there should be delay
in preparing payrols of the teachers In
the public schools. Auditor TweedaIe stated
that the rolls as required for final dis
position in his office are little different from
the rolls of previous years and Disburs-
ing Officer Rogers SAID he could see M
reason for added particularly on the part
of the school officials in preparing the rolls
unless 1t might be that the officers in the
Franklin building were meeting new con-
ditions arising from the investigation and
report of the Keep commission.
In explaining the matter as it appears in
his department. Auditor Tweedale referred
to the pay roll of the officers and janitors
of the schools which was received by him
last Thursday afternoon There are only
TWO more columns than in other years" he
SAID, and 1t does not seem to me that the
rolls should be so very difficult of prepara-
ton AS to any so-called census or UNI
winding of unnecessary red tape 1 know
nothing, and If the school authorities have
found 1t incumbent upon themselves to take
census. it must be d matter for their own
records.
Extremely Simple.
''The two new columns are extremely sim
pie. one of them being placed on the sheets
by reason of "a requirement in the organic
act which provided for Reorganization of
the schools. and the other being added on
the strength of an order of the Treasury
Department. Even SO, the rolls are no diff
ferent from those of every other govern
ment department in the city and. so far as
l know, there has been no unusual delay
elsewhere.
THE rolls are simply in conformity with
prescribed standard which was prepared
by Controller Traceweil, to go into effect
on and after October 1. One of the new
columns specifies the date of appointment
or authorization to present position of
each person paid on the roll. and the other,
which was placed the school rolls by
virtue of the organic act. requires the en-
try, of minimum annual pay and 1ongev-
ity allowance the latter being necessary
because the act provided for annual in
creases in most of the teachers salaries"
Auditor Tweedale stated that the school
rolls for September, unless soon received,
will conflict with the rolls for October,
which are due to be placed in his hands
not later than October 81.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, October o.-Ihe
democratic state committees action last

The Bartlett side has a slight majority in
the committee. Despite the protests of the
Whitney members. .hc slate was pushed
through, with Daniel J. kiey of Boston
for temporary chairman, and George Fred
resolutons.
Before the Whitney leaders sought their
beds a conference was held the quito" e
Of which was not disclosed; but it was said
that an appeal would be made to Judge
Hitchcock of the superior court for an in
jdnction to prevent the use by the Bartlett
factor of credentials which had been is
sued by the state committee to different
persons as delegates from town which held
~ caucuses.
1t was known that the Whitney support
ers last night secured the refusal OF 81
hall not far from the convention. and that
they had asked the police authorities for
protection for their delegates in the con-
vention itself. 1t was also said today that
former Representative Joseph A. Conry of
Boston will be elected temporary chairman
of the convention in spite of the Bartlrtt
supporters. and that the delegates II'ght
have before them the unusual spe ctacic of
two presiding officers on the stage at ,he
same time.

of from 3 to 10 meters-10 to 33 feet
folded as often as may be required
for convenient packing. These tapers
are now used chiefly by wine mer-
chants and by sections in lighting
church candles.
The very short and thick candles
called veilleuses, or night candles, are
composed of a mixture of wax and
stearine. The molding machine differs
considerably from the apparatus used
for ordinary candles, although the
principle of the operation is un-
changed. After the little candles have
cooled the attendant removes them
from the molds and conveys them to
women, who put them into tin cups,
which prevent the escape OF, melted

to other women, who label and pack
them.

thence to large wooden cylinder on
