MASTERS AND MATES WIN.
Those on Sailing Vessels Do Not Need
Licenses.

Those on Sailing Vessels Do Not Need
Licenses.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. Masters and
mates of sailing vessels along the Allan
tic coasts may no longer worry over labor
union tactics to put them out of business
unless they assent to union rules and take
out licenses to operate their craft. The
House Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries decided adversely upon the
bill of Representative Hayes of Califor
MIA, requiring licenses of masters and
mates Of vessels of more than three hun
dred tons.
Chairman Greene of Massachusetts had
received scores of letters, some of them
almost pitiful in their tone, protesting
against the proposed legislation. At
hearing Of the friends of the bill two
weeks ago the committee tried in vain to
discover evidence that collisions and
wrecks were due to the fault of unlicen-
sed officers, but it could not be produced.
Today the committee heard the oppo-
nents of the measure, which was father
ed by the Masters and Mates Associa-
ton, admittedly in the interest of the
the organization, and.higher pay. The
AICCICSlo VI L dlld, 4SCW
Jersey and Delaware were represented
by Howard M. Long, who made the three
points that it was impossible for owners
and captains to secure enough licensed
mates to handle their vessels; that the
bill would not insure safety and that it
would greatly increase the cost of opera
ton. He showed conclusively that ex-
perience was to be preferred to licenses.
Fields Pendleton of New York, who
owns and operates more than one hun
dred sailing vessels, cited one instance of
captain being detained in New York
ten days at loss Of $500 and of another
lying at Philadelphia with a correspond
ing loss because of like restrictions which
now had been removed in the light of
experience. He said that not five per
cent of sailing vessels carried insurance,
and that the danger was not great when
they were handled by experienced men.
The greatest argument against the meas
ure, he said, was that every man who
knows his business is opposed to it.
E. c. Plummer, representing the At
lantic Coastwise Carriers Association,
said that the bill failed to distinguish be-
tween ocean and coastwise sailing vessels.
The whole policy embodied in it, he said,
would be ruinous. Masters and mates of
steam craft are already required to take
out licenses.

No longer is the Bank Of England the

is surpassed by the National City Bank

through this mill-race every day, and not
one penny is misplaced. The giant safe,
which is protected by door with TWEEN

ty-nine millions of dollars in gold and
half billion dollars in frst-class securi-
ties, and the description of the opening

SECONDARY SCHOOL WORK.
In regard to the secondary school work,
Mr.. Smith says: considerable confusion
results from the failure of this enact
ment to state specifically the authority
which shall determine upon the fitness of
a student to pursue the secondary school
course While other statutes would
appear to indicate that this authority
rests with the school committee of the
town where the student has residence, it
is extremely desirable to have this point
more definitely covered in the law provi-
ding for the payment of tuition.
"This law, establishing new relation
among the towns Of the State, cannot be
administered with full satisfaction until
some provision is made for the visitation
or inspection of the schools. In compel
ling the payment Of tuition by one town
to another the State has taken a step
which must be followed by another in the
direction of insuring to all the parties in
terested Just and fair treatment. At
present the only method Of determining
the point as to whether school has a
standard course of study is through in
spection of the printed course with such
written statements concerning the school
as may be required. Some form of in
spection should, therefore, be provided
at the earliest possible date.
Two examinations for State certificates
were held during the year. The number
of candidates registered for these exam
nations was 29O. Of these 270 took the
examination in whole or in part and 242
secured sufficiently high ranks to entitle
them to certificates. Certificates were
also granted to 100 members of the State
normal schools, without subjecting them
to special examination therefor.

How to Provide Sinking Fund for
Their Payment.

For the occasional special debt or
for minor Improvements there ought
to be sinking fund that may be
drawn upon when needed" writes s.
hPurvis, in the March number Of
The Circle Magazine" To create this
fund / will suggest plan that has
been tried In various parts or the
country with glowing results It's
success depends on faithful collectors
and small amounts OF money.
III you are tempted to despise small
amounts remember the peny-in-the-
slot places and the nickel moving
picture shows Ask someone on the
inside II II pays? II you question the
value of collectors ask the installment
house or the Industrial insurance peo-
pie, or indeed any mercantile house,
Humanity gives more In small
amounts frequently than In large
amounts occasionally.
The plan is called The Calendar
Club If there Is a young women's
organization like the Kings Daugh-
ters, with about sixty members, Il is
Just the organization to handle this
excellent scheme. The president rep
resents the year 1903. She selects
tewelve persons to represent the
months Miss January Miss Febru-
airy, Miss March, etc. Each month
selects four weeks, known as Miss
First-week-in-January, Miss Second
Week-in-January, Miss Third Week

each select among the members and
friends Of the Church seven Days
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.
Then all Years, Months, Weeks, and
Days are asked to contribute penny

her Days. seven persons. Each
Month simply superintends her four
Weeks, while the president, Miss
1909 looks after twelve Months,
calling them together ever so often TO
hear their report. The thing is so
simple, the amount SO small that it
hardly seems worth while But bless
you the Year, Months, Weeks. and

contributing one cent a day. Null

BIG AUDIENCE WILL GREET
DR.. MlV0R-TYNDALL TONIGHT
AT The PARK OPERA HOUSE
Ike Noted Educator Promoting an In
teMigent Understanding af Mans
Sub-conscious Po,Ders

Tonight the indications are that
there will be very large audience to
greet DIR. Alexander J. McIvor-Tyn-
dali, the celebrated authority on psy-
chic research, at the Park opera
house.
Those who imagine that the sub
lects which DR.. McIvor-Tyndall will
expound and demonstrate this even
ing are interesting only to the high
ly educated and intellectual will be
agreeably surprised to find that the
entertainment feature of the McIyor-
Tyndall public appearances are as
marked as are the instructive and
the mystical side.
Indeed, it is a well known saying
that truth is stranger than fiction -
and so. too, that which is possibly to
one versed in occult science, is far
more marvellous and exciting than
anything which can be devised by
mechanical means.
DR.. McIvor-Tyndal's demonstra-
tions are replete with novel and en-
tertaining features. besides being
conducted in such a way as to leave
no room for doubt or skepticism.
He unravels mysteries. delves into
the hidden recesses of the minds OF
