TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS.
Twelve Young Women and One Man
 Take Them.

Hartford, Nov 30.-Examinations were held at the Capitol last week for state teachers certificates, and several young ladies, many of them already teachers in country schools, and one young man, took the exam ination.
 As a rule these examinations. which are given the. last Friday and Saturday of each month, are held either in the house of representatives or the senate chamber, but the fact that the cleaning of those two rooms is still going on caused the examina- tions to be given in room adjoining the supreme court chamber.
 From 9 o'clock in the morning un- til o'clock in the afternoon, with a recess for luncheon, are the working hours. The solitary young man did mot appear at all fused among 80 many fair competitors. In fact he seemed rather to like 1t.
 Those taking the examinations were: Miss Cecilia E. Triggs of West Springfield, Mass; Miss Annie J. Webb of New Britain, Miss Jennie F. Stevens of Waterville, Miss Ellen B. Sturdevant of Glastonbury, Miss Ethel E. Tryon of South Glastonbury, Miss NJ. A. Hall of Harwinton, Miss Maud H. Melins of Harwinton, Miss Laura R. Cables of Harwinton, Miss Verna M Stratton of Suffield, Miss Theodore A. Thompson of East Gran by, Miss Nellie H. Cook of South bridge, Mass. and N. Earl White of Pomfret Landing. The next exam ination will be held on December 30 and 31.

 While slack stave and heading production was reported last year from practically all the states en- gagged in the manufacture of lumber, a considerable percentage of the stock in fact, being turned out as by product of lumber, the industry was to an extent localized, the five states of Pennsylvania, Missouri, Michigan, Arkansas and Virginia, in the order named, contributing 56.S per cent of the total production. The distribu- tion of the industry of hoop manufac- ture is much more limited than that of slaves and heading, and is due pri- marily to the fact that this commo- dity is made chiefly from elm timber. Ohio led in the quantity of hoops man. ufactured, closely followed by Indi- ana, the output of these two states forming 67.3 per cent of the total production.

When President Hayes entered the white house through the grace of an electoral commission he made the first cabinet concession to the south that had been made since the war and appointed General Key, con- federate brigadier, postmaster gen. eral Now his son, graduate of the naval academy and recently an aide to President Roosevelt, has made criticisms of the Dreadnoughts re- gently built at expense of millions of dollars, and his striCtures have re- ceived the approval of the most dis tinguished naval experts and resulted in important alterations of plans in naval construction.

There have been hints of negotia- tions of Secretary Root with the Jap anese ambassador and now these hints have assumed more tangible form and the war cloud which the French and other European papers so sensationally hypothecated a year ago is quite dissipated. Doubtless the visit of our fleet and its hospitable reception in Yokohoma and Tokio has had a pacific influence. The agreement between the countries rep resented by the banner of the sun and stars and stripes is based on the idea of maintaining free internation- al trade and commerce in the Pacific ocean. It has for it's foundation a mutual guarantee to respect terri torial possessions in the orient and also defines the attitude of the two countries toward China. binding both the United States and Japan to main tain by every peaceful means China s independence and the integrity of her ltIIIlDIg anu lt SINt Cluul NOIAiICi- cial opportunities in the Chinese possessions to other nations. The most important clause in the agree ment, however, is embodied in an agreement between the United States and Japan that if anything should happen to menace the peaceful status quo the United States and Japan must consult each other with a view to mutual pacifcatory action. It will be readily seen that while this is not an alliance such as exists be- tween England and Japan it is a formal agreement that will be recog- nized by the two countries as an aug ury and bond of peace. It is inter esting to reflect that this agreement is published almost simultaneously with the German emperOr's lurid pre- diction that the United States and Japan would soon be at war.

The barberS' commission in Rhode Island is not giving satisfaction. An effort is being made to abolish it. Speaking on the question the Provi- dence Journal says: The notion that barbers should be qualified by state examination for pursuing their trade is absurd. The sanitary feat ures of the law are properly con- cern for the health authorities. It is an imposition to tax the barber or to subject him to the possibility of re- straint, other than with respect to sanitary considerations on the theory that he may become a public menace"

PAPKE AND kETcHELL
viii Meet In San Francisco For the
MiddIeweight Championship.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 90
Wherever sporting men congregate the
staple of discussion is the return en-
gagement between Billy Papke and
Stanley Ketchell for the middleweight
championship. With Papke determin-
ed to retain the title and Ketchell
equally determined to regain the lau-
rels he lost last spring, the battle is
bound to be one of the best that has
been seen hereabouts in long time.
Interest in the contest is of the keen
est sort and the demand for tickets
almost unprecedented.
Reports from their respective train
ing quarters today are to the effect
that both men are in the best possible
Condition. They are ready for what
they know will be the toughest battle
of their lives, and both are prepared
to go and fight to the limit of their
powers
There are abundant indications
about the sporting resorts that an i'm
mense amount of money is going to
change hands on the result of the
fight Though Papke continues to
rule slight favorite in the betting
there is plenty of Ketchell money in
sight. The faithful way in which the
Grand Rapids boy has trained for the
present contest and the general belief
that he was not in prime condition
when he met Papke before has served
to renew confidence among the Ket-
chell followers.

AGAIN CARRIES OFF HIGHEST
AWARD.

Three consecutive times at the San
Antonio International Fair, two con-
secutive times at the state fair of Ar
kansas at Hot Springs, and recently at
the state fair of Texas at Dallas, the
Tyler Commercial College of Tyler,
Texas, is conclusively proving the SUI
periority of their students work, and
their modern equipment over that of
other schools, by carrying off the
highest award in six consecutive con-
tests. At the state fair of Texas at
Dallas the exhibit of the Tyler Com
mercial College occupied a greater
space than that of all the other COM
mercial school exhibits combined. Its
exhibit consisted of more than four
times the amount of students work in
bookkeeping, shorthand, telegraphy,
and four times the amount of practical
office appliances of any other CONNER
cial schools exhibit.
AlIei WltueSSlhS tHS SASSiicHI WIZ N
of their students, their modern office
appliances and up-to-date methods OF
teaching, one can easily understand
why this school has the largest day
enrolment of bookkeeping, business
training, shorthand, typewriting and
telegraphy, during the past year, of all
American business colleges.

statue came into full view its magnifi-
cence was strikingly presented to the
people. A mighty cheer was heard,
while the military band present played
the national anthem. The unveilinS

the country. The statue is of bronze
and of heroic size 1t depicts General
Sheridan on the back of his famous

act of turning his fleeing soldiers at
Cedar Creek after his historic twenty
mile ride from Winchester. With one
hand he is holding back his powerful
horse, while with the other, in Which
his hat is clutched, he is waving to his

charge that turns defeat into victory
