AEC
Recently representative educators

in organizing schools of the kind of
the Americas school in these states.
Hon. NJ. L. Duggan of Sparta, Pa.
and who no doubt represents in one
capacity or another more educational
associations than any other man in
the south, was sent to the school to
make special report of the work be-
ing done in the institution. This
from his report: Il have never seen
an educational institution whose
work had a closer application to the
work of life, that was better calcu-
lated to turn out all-round men and
women, full OF ambition and equipped
with exact definite knowledge of a.

and additional equipment is being

to admit all who may apply, yet those
who fail to make application may
later find all places taken.

MINNEsoTA's UNIQUE POSITION
Has More Money That She Knows
What to Do With.

Has More Money That She Knows
What to Do With.
Minnesota finds herself in rath-
er unique position. She has more
money in her treasury than she
knows what to do with, and streams
of gold are still pouring in. 1t is
estimated that on October LIST the
surplus will amount to $4,000,000
This condition has been brought
about by the settlement of certain
rich corporation cases. From the
present outlook there will be no ne
cessity for taxing the people of the
state one cent for the year 1911
New Jersey, so far as can be re-
called, is the only state that was
ever able to run its government with
out calling on the citizens for tax
money. If we remember rightly,
New Jersey was able to do this for
time by reason of the golden flood
that reached her treasury from the
incorporation fees of various trusts
and other combinations of capital
However, it is not likely that Min
nesota will be long troubled by her
great surplus. Her politicians will
find ways in which to spend it, if
they are like politicians elsewhere;
and the probabilities are that they
are pretty much alike in all parts of
the country.

LEAD.COATED STEEL COFFINs.
The New Style Burial Baskets Can
Be Had in Dawson.

Wood collins afford no protection
to the dead after a few days in the
ground. The condition OF the body
after burial is little understood by
the average person, but It is well
known by sections and funeral direc-
tors that the body lasts for years
after the coffin has gone to pieces.
Although in the past wood has been
almost exclusively the material used
for making collins it is known to be
the most unsatisfactory for that pur-
pose if it is desired to keep the re-
mains together until complete disso-
luton takes place. Even the finest
oak or mahogany will warp, swell
and go to pieces as soon as it gets
thoroughly wet. The drier the wood
when the coffin is made the more
complete is the destruction.
Casket makers have tried for years
to find a material that would be as
economical and as easily worked as
wood without any of its bad qualities.
One large manufacturer has been re-
markedly successful, and is now de-
voting its entire establishment to pro-
ducing a casket made from Bessemer
steel by process which makes it
practically one piece
Such caskets are on display at the
funeral parlors of A. j. Baldwin &
Co. They are very beautiful, but as
Messrs. A. J. Baldwin & Co say,
their principal beauty is the dura-
bility and the protection which they
give to the body, This casket
they say, rs made of a new mate
rial, using Bessemer steel for basis
and called Lead-Coated-Steel. 1t has
a strength of $4,000 pounds per
square inch, and it is impossible for
the earth to crush in the top. The
body is as thoroughly protected from
snakes, rodents and other enemies as
if it were in a marble tomb, and the
relatives may be assured that it will
keep the remains all together until
total dissolution has taken place
The material is absolutely rust
proof"
The styles shown by A. J. Baldwin
& Co. at their establishment are very
handsomely appointed, and external
ly look like any other beautiful
house for the protection of the dead.
But under the beautiful cloth cover
ing and the soft, lustrous satin and
silk Innings is strong steel casket.

the average means,

kets always on hand.

is 40 AND HAPPY.
Just Goes on Living and Not Worry
ing About Anything.

One of the happiest men in Nor
folk county, Virginia, by his own
declaration, is Richard Cooper, aged
10. Up to two years ago he was
an active FISHERMAN; now he is in
the county home for the aged. His
health and eyesight are good, and
he says he believes he will live a
number of years longer. When
asked to what he attributed his great
age he replied: Nothing in par
ticular; just going on living and not
worrying much about anything. "
The anti-worry principle is a mighty
good one, according to all of the
authorities. 1t has been said that
worry kills ten people where work
kills one.

ATLANTA, Ga.-After a search

ferred against ]. Lee Barron, keep
er of public buildings and grounds,
the house committee on public prop
erty, which manipulated the probe,
has reported that the accusations are
absolutely groundless and totally
without foundation.
A feature of the hearing this after
noon was the statement of H. N.
Goldsmith of the J. M. High Com
pany, one of the unsuccessful bidders
on carpets, that there was absolutely
no possibility or chance for graft in
any of the contracts in which he had
been concerned.
Thus endeth another chapter in

the ears few short weeks ago.
Films will be written within the
week when the committee submits a
report of its findings to the house.

So many large cities dominated by
Catholics are dominated by saloons
that it is positively refreshing to find
Catholic priest lifting his voice and
dedicating his influence for the over
throw of the liquor business.
The New Jersey Issue gives the
following stirring story:
Father Peter O'Callaghan presi-
dent of the Catholic Total Absti-
nence Union of America, spoke at
the Sacred Heart church, Greenyille,
at the vesper services Sunday even
ing May 22nd. Father O'Callaghan
is head of the Paulist Fathers in
Chicago, and has a national reputa-
ton as a convincing speaker.
"'Our distinguished fellow-citizen,
William Jennings Bryan said he,
in his Chicago speech of last We'd
nesday, said that the grave danger
TO the public lies in the increasing
plutocracy and aTistoCracy of our
country, and I tell you, my beloved
countrymen, that there is no aris-
tocracy or no plutocracy so great as
the plutocracy which is built upon
and thriyes upon mans appetite for
strong drink. This same plutocracy
floods the country with literature,
imports men who are ready to sell
themselves for money. This plutOc-
racy engages the services of big,
brainy lawyers and other profess
sional and business men who will
speak in its interest provided it pays
money enough. Alas! the prospect
of yearly salary of $4,000 to 500 (
