 ,oontsin more than 1000 worth of shoes thrown away every twenty-four hours is more than s7,5oo. while me waste paper Of the city figured at tne lowest price totals more than tlo.veV a day. Over gi,000 worth of bottles are thrown away daily, and neaTly S1.00o worth of string. Added to this figures show that at least sS,eee m real money, that Is bills and coins, is earelessly thrown out each day ana that the value of worn-out linen and hats discarded every day is upwards of 5000. could they all. be collected. The second class of waste while not so striking is far. greater. consisting of partially consumed food, wines ana cigars at hotels and cafes, more than S5O,O00 being thrown way each day of the year in this way according to the figures. Altogether 1t looks as If Father Knickerbocker might make large a. mount of money by establishing a municipal waste commission.

 Juvenile education in the Empire Staate is in an increase ratio to age according to figures Just compiled. In other words the older you grow the less you. know, so far as public school education is concerned, since less than four. out of every ten pupils who start the elementary course ever finish 1t, according to these figures. The exact precentage of those who continue from. the first grade until ready to enter the high school Is for girls thirty nine percent and for boys thirty-two percent. Boys. 1t would seem. not only go five -sixths as far as girls in their education. It Is a yet unexplained fact that the school enrolment of the state outside this city. shows more pupils in the second and third years than in the first year. After the third year the percentage of pupils decreases rapidly so that out of every 100 children who enter the first frade at the average age of six and one-half years only thirty-nine go through the eigth or highest grade before the high school with an average age of fourteen years. In Greater New. York the coeficient of juvenile education Is slightly higher than in the rest of the state since forty-two out of every one hundred pupils who enter the first grade finish the eighth. In the greater city the girls who finish the graded school course exceed the boys In number by about four percent. Outside Of this city, however. the boys surpass the girls in number about eight percent. In cities and villages outside New York City the total registration this year was Sg0,2 ,205 as compared to 706,0 900 In the city. Altogether the state has more than i,500,000 school children of whom considerably less than half ever complete the elementary public school education taking them up to the age of fourteen years.

FAuLr WITH SYSTEM.
TuinOIs Mining Board Says Accidents
 Are Unavoidable.

Springfield. IT., Dec Ex-Governor Deneen has received the report of the State mining board and State inspec- tors of mines, of the investigation ot the cause of the explosion at the Rand colliery company's mine at Rend City. Franklin county. December f2.
 The board and inspectors find that the explosion was caused from the eX- cessive use of power. generating large quantities of carbon monoNide gas. which was ignited by flame from a shot and aggravated by the presence of coal dust in the mine.
 They are of the opinion that SO long as the present method of mining Is permitted the same result will fol- low and recommend that the system of mining and blasting be changed so as 10 prevent such aceidents.

9th, David Bispham will appear
at the Normal Auditorium at
Hays under the auspices of the
faculty of the Western Kansas
State Normal school. He has
only lately returned from abroad

him universal fame. He pos

as a singer he has won a firm
place in the affections of the
music loving people.
Mr.. Bispham is undoubtedly
the greatest artist who ever ap-

The editor of this paper is in
receipt of a very interesting let
ter from England written by W.
J. Shelton. Mr. Shelton went
from New York to Queenstown,
Ireland, and from there to Cork
and visited Barney Castle. He
says he kissed the Blarney Stone
while there. He went up into
the lake district of Killarney:
also visited Dublin, from there
he went to Wales and on to Eng
land. He says some of the seen
cry is surprisingly beautiful.
While in Scotland he visited the
palace in which Mary Queen of
Scots once lived. He confesSes
he felt quite youthful amid such
ancient surroundings. He in
forms US that the Grouse shoot
ing season is on in England and
that the SportSmen are enjoying
their annual shoot; he also says
they had an abundant fruit crop.
Mr.. Shelton took passage on the
White Star Line Steamer

expects to arrive in Kansas some
time in October. He wishes to
be remembered to all his friends.
