THE AMERICAN sCHOOLMA'AM
Chicago Teacher Gives Some interest
ino Statistics.

New York, Fec. 17.-In an article in
a local paper Miss Catherine Goggin,
secretary # the Chicago Teachers
federation, presents a startling view
of the American schoolma am. She
says, among other things, that 60 per
cent of schoolma ans are unmarried.
Miss Goggin is unmarried herself
and she is proud of it, Her opinion Of
the 'lord of CREATION translated into
good American slang, is that he is a
lemon
However, this opinion has not de-
tered her from conducting series of
little Journeys to the homes Of the
little schoolma ans with the forthcom-
ing data that:
Ninety per cent of the schoolteach-
ers in the United States are women
Sixty per cent of these are irrevocably
destined to single blessedness.
Eighty per cent of the teachers led
to the altar are forced to work for
their living after marriage
Ten per cent of the welded ones
become divorces.
OF the remaining 10 per cent only
one teacher in ten finds any bliss in
marriage.

FlSH-HARRlMAN FIGHT.
Arguments in Legal Contest Continued
at Chicago.

at Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 17-The legal argu-
ments in the case Of Stuyvesant Fish
against Edward H. Hartman, involv-
ing the matter of-voting certain shares
of stock at the postponed annual meet
ing Of the stockholders Of the Illinois
Central Railroad company, were con
tinued before Judge Ball in the SUI
perior court.
Edgar H. Farrar, counsel for Mr.
Fish, devoted his attention particularly
to the Railroad Securities company of
New, Jersey, which holds the stock Mr..
Hartman wants to vote Mr.. Farrar
urged that the charter Of this cor
poration contains tie power and germs
of monopoly in it's worst form. It was,
he said, the Northern Securities com
pany, not confined to the control of
two corporations, but securities COM
pany which spreads its wings over
every state and territory in the Union.
He contended that such corporation
could not come into Illinois and own
and vote stocks in the public service
corporations of this state, since to do
so would be in conflict with the public
policy laws of the state. Mr.. Farrar
had eighty-four law books on the table
near him and he quoted literally from
these volumes to fortify his position.

Beveridse Wants Tariff Revision to
 Follow Election of 1908.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 27.-Resolu- tions were adopted unanimously at the biennial Hove feast" of Indiana Repub- licans urging the nomination of Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks, for the presidency. The resolutions were introduced by Governor J. Frank Han ly and were adopted with round of cheers by the thousand and more ac- tive party workers of the state who were present.
 Senator Beveridge gave his views as to the future action of the party and reiterating his former statement that Indiana will stand solid in the next national convention of the party for the nomination of Vice President Charles Fairbanks, Senator Beveridge said:
 After we elect our president we will revise our tariff. Any man in any par ty who proposes tariff revision on the eve of national election is either too uniformed or too insincere to be trusted. Any tariff revision unsettles somewhat the intimate business of the country, but tariff revision before a presidential election would prolong that disturbance for ruinous months. Meanwhile tariff commission should gather the facts and have them ready for congress"
