That Much Less Than
Estimates for Eight Years.

Washington. March 3.-SenatOr Hem
enway today made farewell speech to
the senate concerning appropriations
made by congress in the last eight years
showing that the aggregate appropria-
tions were $274, ,129,413 less than the es-
Inmates He sought to demonstrate how
unpopular has been the effort OF mem
bers of congress to keep down expendt-
lures in the face of demands from ex-
ecutive departments and citizens for
funds with which to prosecute certain
projects and he spoke also of the critic
ism made of congress by persons VINO
objected to large appropriations.
The estimates for eight years aggre-
gate 81 2S7, ,954, ,29S against appropriations
aggregating $7,013, ,824, ,SS5. The reduc-
tions congress made from the estimates
were as follows:
In 1903, $25, ,853, ,S21, and for the succeed
ing seven years the reductions were as
follows: $12, 1896, go; $49, ,S01, ,S31; $15,015,-
732; S27, ,555, ,511; 1882, ,499; 1,051, ,745,
and for the fiscal year of 1910, $50,00o,-
600.
Continuing Mr.. Hemenway said:
Although the estimates were not re
duced to the extent many of US wanted
congress has not added to it's populari-
ty with the people by the reductions 1t
did make, for on the whole the people
have been with the executive in urging
that all recommendations of the execu-
tive be carried out.
when additional taxes are levied
which the people will have to pay they
can understand that congress is not
wholly at fault"

Mr.. Curnick, interviewed today, said:
Il am merely going east on matters of
business. I have no definite plans as
to where shall go but will be gone
only a short time. AS to the railroad,
everything is in very good shape.
Nothing can be said which is of in

derstand the business and all 1 could
say would make them no better in

TOLEDO IN THE LEAD.
Fourth Day Events in Pittsburg Bowl
ing Tournament

Pittsburg. March 3.-After having
placed themselves in the front rank,
the bowlers from Toledo, Ohio, left
for their homes early today and until
Saturday night Pittsburg and western
Pennsylvania bowlers will have full
sway in an attempt to overcome the
Ohio citys lead.
Today five-men teams, doubles and
individual bowlers from Pittsburg,
Washington, Pennsylvania, Dubois,
Pa, Sharon, Pa, Kittaning, Pa, and
half a dozen suburbs of this city will
hold the attention of the ninth inter-
national tournament of the American
Bowling congress at the Du Quesene
Gardens.
The fourth days session of the
tournament opened with two men
teams of western Pennsylvania roll
ing. During the late afternoon the in
dividual contests will be played.
Up to the present time the scores
made are considerably below any of
the established records. In explana-
ton Secretary Langtry is of the opin-
ion that the alleys are too fast for the
bowlers. Apparently the local men
are not used to fast work. However,
the western teams are expected to
change the condition on their arrival.

New High Records for Wheat, Corn
and Oats.

Chicago, March 3.-New high rec
ords for the season were esta blished
by wheat. corn and oats on the board
of trade today. May wheat, the sup
ply of which is concentrated in the
hands of a prominent trader, led the
advance by touching $1.1912, which
is within half a cent of the price pre-
dicted by the speculator mentioned
some months ago and only two cents
under the highest price of the Gates
campaign four years ago.
July advanced to $1.06 rs and the
advance in the latter delivery was
based on damage reports from the
principal winter wheat states, expert
gossip having it that July would prove
to be an "old CROP month, that is.
month in which delivery-on contracts
would have to be made from the pre-
vious harvest. The record breaking
rise in corn and oats was due to SYM
pathy with wheat. May corn sold at
67A and May oats at 561s cents.

With frantic haste Sibyl collected the
few possessions she had at Beechwood
and cast them into a bag. She donned
/! her outer garments and tied a thick
veil over her white, set face.
"You will tell him nothing" she an
swered, struggling with one mighty,
stransling sob that rose in her throat,
"except-wait!-e to say that he

lowed after, and stepped forth alone
into the raw, waning afternoon-into

Consolidation of Schools.

The country boy and the country girl
are entitled to a nine month school,
taught in a convenient and comfortable
building and taught by as good teach
er as can be had-not by as cheap as
can be had. This can be done, If the
country people will only make up their
minds to do it. There were last year
2,421 rural white schools in the state,
an average Of 81 schools to the county,
and an average enrolment Of Al pupils
to each school. By consolidation re-
duce the number of schools to 1000, an
average Of "a to each county, and an
average enrolment Of 100 pupils to
each school. Develop this system Of
consolidation further by maintaining
high schools-not high schools in name
but in fact-at from two to four
places in each county, depending upon
the size Of the county. Give to these
consolidated common schools ample
teaching force to teach the pupils
through the seventh grade, sending the
