School Of Stenosraphy and Type
writing.

Miss Frances Cook of New York.
was u visitor to Henderson this week
investigating the situation with a
vie" 10 openings school of steno.ra-
phy and typewriting here. She was
pleased with the town and people she
met aud says she would make this her
home II the prospect should seem en-
couraging. That is to say if enough
interest Is manifested to assure her
OF u sufficient number of pupils to
Justify the undertaking-{and the
number desired to begin with is very
moderate)-Miss Cook will open her
schooi OF stenography and typewri-
ting in Henderson.
Miss Cook is a native OF Georgia,
and has been living in New York for
10 years. She is a graduate of East
mans Business College and to a
thorough technical knowledge of
shorthand and typewriting gained
there she has added Is wears praeti-
cal office experience and is fitted by
training and practice to teach these
branches to Others. In addition to
stenography and typewriting Miss
Cook would thoroughly drill her pu-
pills in spelling, punctuation, capital
lzation, &c, and the use of good
English, SO that at the end of the
course they would be fully competent
to take a position and hold it salts
factorily anywhere.
The term would be six months, the
price $25 for the full course. Those
who have taken some lessons but
have not completed the course would
be admitted at the rate of S. a month
for the time they attend.
1t there are any who would like to
enroll their names as pupils please
communicate the fact to the GOLD
LEAF office and the matter will be
taken up with Miss Cook. A quick
response and the number of prospec-
tive pupils will determine the matter
of whether OF not Henderson is to
have a school of stenography and
typewriting.

as far as that. Midland is now the prin-
cipal grain terminal of the Grand Trunk
on Georgian bay. 1t has three elevators,
with q combined capacity OF 4.5OO 600
bushels. The manifest purpose Of the i'm
provements is to put the Canadian roads
in better position to compete with the
Buffalo-New York route for export trade.
In the northwest a movement has been
started to ship grain westward to Van
couver, reaching Europe from there by
water. 1t is pointed out that the distance
from Calgary. which IL In the heart OF
the wheat district, to Fort William is
l.26O miles, while to Vancouver 1t is only
ga miles. The present cost of shipping
100 pounds Of wheat from Calgary to
Liverpool Is 56 cents 1t is claimed that
by way of Vancouver the cost would be
reduced to 45 cents. Steps have been
taken to build elevators at Vancouver
An advantage Of the new route from the
railroad viewpoint Is that it would pro-
vide both east and west business At
present the Canadian Pacific hauls much
Of Its freight In one direction.
This diversion to Vancouver would hurt
Montreal even more than the American
routes. and 1t would not be surprising
if some political efforts should be made
to interfere with the plans. Commerce
however. will inevitably seek the cheapest
and most convenient route.

Winfield Halleck an escaped inmate OF

has been captured. 1t was announced to-
day by DIR. Maurice j. Stack acting su-
perintendent of that institution. Halleck
was arrested Yesterday in Baltimore by
Detective Bradley.
As his capture by the Baltimore police
10 beyond the jurisdiction of the authori-
ties of the Government Hospital for the
Insane, no steps will be taken by the of
ficials to bring him back. However,
should the Baltimore police return him to
the institution he will be received.
Halleck claims he was lieutenant of
the Philippine scouts. The records show
that he was a private in the United
States Army on philippine service when
he developed dementia and was sent TO
St. Elizabeth
He also claims that his insanity re-
suited from bolo stroke across the head
administered by Filipino in one of the
scraps between soldiers and natives
The records. however. do not bear out
his assertion The supposed bolo wound
has been placed among Hallecks halluci-
nations.
Halleck is an enthusiastic base ball
player. Thursday he played with team
on the grounds about St. Elizabeth.
He says he made his escape by manu-
featuring key from the wire of his ba Sc
ball mask and unlocking the doors lead
ing from his apartments to the open.
DIR. Stack said today Halleck stole away
in the dusk of evening following the
game, and escaped from the base ball
grounds by scaling the wall or leaving
by way of the railroad tracks that enter
the grounds near the river. How he man.
aged TO reach Baltimore is not known.
The former soldier has six previous es-
capes to his credit on the asylum records.
His statement to the Baltimore police
was that he had successfully gotten away
twenty-one times.
Halleck claims to be evenly balanced
mentally, and has announced that he will
keep on escaping until the officials grow
tired of hunting him.
