road communication is demoralized.
The disaster locally is due chiefly
to the fact that the whole marvellous
underground architecture of the city,
which is honey-combed with labyrinths
OF subways, is filling up with water
causing the sewers to burst and the
streets to cave in and threatening the
foundations of buildings.
Scene Majestic, But appalling.
The scene on the river front is ma
5estic, but appalling. The stream has
broken its barriers at several points
and is pouring its yellow torrents into
the surrounding streets, converting
them into veritable lakes. At any
minute it may be necessary to blow
up the Alma bridge, where the water
is but few inches from the keystone
of the arch, as dam there might
turn the course of the Seine in such
way as to flood several of the most

5-Year Policies Discontinued by N. p.
l.. of WaverIy, n. Y.

Waverly, N. Y.-As a result of the
investigation recently conducted by
the New York State Insurance De-
partment of the business, records and
accounts of the National Protective
Legion of Waverly, n. Y, the officers
have been induced to discontinue
selling 5-year dividend or endowment
certificates, a form of contract for
sick and death benefits.
The insurance department, after
a partial investigation two years ago,
criticised many features of the plan
under which the organization was
working, but, as result of the in
vestigation recently completed, the
officers of the National Protective
association were given their choice
of entirely stopping the issuing of
the form of policies upon which the
business of the order was principally
built up or having the insurance de-
partment take possession of the Le-
gion and close up its affairs.
In the words of the report, the s.
year dividend contract appealed to
the gambling instinct and promised
the impossible" In 1902 the Legis-
lature so amended the insurance law
that fraternal societies could not
thereafter be organized for the pur-
pose of doing this class of business,
but exempted from the effect of such
amendment the three societies then
writing contracts of this class. One
of these was the Peoples Mutual Life
Insurance association and League of
Syracuse, which was fore / into
liquidation by the insurance depart
ment last January; the other is the
Order of the Golden Seal, with head
quarters at Roxbury, N. Y.
The financial statement shows that
while, under the insurance law a
society of this class is not entitled to
maintain reserve, the National Pro-
tective Legion, with substantially ST.
100000 on hand to meet maturing
obligations is technically solvent
granting that the $4,000 5-year divi-
dend contracts now outstanding are
met by dividends no larger than are
being paid in 1910. ....

still to those who have gone out into
the wide, wide world, and with it's

rENNSYLVANIA'S PUBLIC
SCHOOLS SHOW INCREASE.

An army of 1,2S2,965 of pupils
is shown to be in the schools of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania
coming under the jurisdiction of
the state department of public in
struction, according to the annual
report of State Superintendent n.
G. Schaeffer. The report covers the
work of the school department for
the year ending in June.
The report shows that all pupils
have increased 1891. The report
deals in large figures, indicating
total value of all school property to
be $9G,244, ,794 in 2,599 school dis
tricts over 1909. There are 33,-
62S schools, and increase of S44,-
164 superintendents; 1886 teach
ers; S,l03 males, an increase of 16S
and 27,493 female, an average of
1922. The total pay of teachers last
year was $19,657,31S.09, the aver
age monthly pay of men being
$63.43 and of women $47.4S, in
creases in both cases.
The total expenditures are shown
at $39, 9,9SS,179 OF which S9,295,-
3S9.2S was for fuel, contingencies,
fees of collectors and the like. The
cost of textbooks was $1,094,60S.-
81 and of other supplies, $74S,29O.-
60.
Superintendent Schaeffer urges
that the proposed new school code
be carefully considered and express
es himself against a state board of
education; in favor of some state
action in regard to normal schools;
that laws be passed relative to re-
structiOns on school loans; new laws
governing changes in textbooks;
more money for schools and other
topics.
The plea for more money for the
school notes the fact that other
states are for per capita and that
Pennsylvania should increase. He
makes a strong declaration in favor
of medical and dental inspection
and proper treatment, following
such inspection and for laws to pre-
serve young people from harm on
railroads, highways and in mills,
mines and factories.

sCHAEFER, CRACK BILLIARDIST.
Son of Late Wizard OF Cue Bids Fair
to Fill His Fathers Shoes Soon.

At present there is one of the
most interesting spectacles being Of
fered the billiard public that could
be easily imagined, for fifteen-year-
old Jake Schaefer son of the fam
Gus wizard, is not only touring the
west on a 5000 mile jaunt which
will carry him from the coast to
Mexico for the practice to be OBJ
tanned, but is supporting his moth
er and sisters.
This boy, at the age when most
youngsters are just feeling the de-
lights of playing hockey, has should
cred the family cares and trouped
out into the west which loved his
father, play at his game being a life
work and a matter of bread and
butter to his family in Denver, for
his father, like many other stars of
the amusement world, died practi-
cally penniless.
Reports from Butte, Mont, clear
through on a circuit which has just
numbered Spokane, Wash, as his
last place of play, say the boy is as
gravely earnest and painstaking
as an old man.
The tour is to be completed in
November, after which the boy will
challenge the winner OF the 1872
balk line championship to be played
in New York on Nov. between G,
f. Slosson and Willie Hoppe.
Hoppe, who appreciates fully what
the youngster is up against has TAX
en- quite a liking to him and hopes
to be of great assistance to him in
mastering 1872 balk line, the game
which young Jack likes above all
others.

With DR.. Bosley refusing to give
the answer to the problem there is
now a wide field for discussion.
Some suffragists have said that they
will marry when they get the vote.
Others say the suffragist question
has interfered with matrimony and
that a number of young women who
would make good wives have es-
poused bachelor life and suffragism.
The high cost of living has been
advanced as another reason. In the
period subsequent to the panic OF
1907, the Baltimore marriage license
bureau showed that marriages had
decreased more than 25 per cent
because of hard times.
Rate Isn't Showing Up Well.
Figures have recently been as
suming a normal condition, but those
who casually study them say the
large percentage of persons from
other cities, especially towns In
Pennsylvania, who come to Balti-
more to be married, make it appear
that the Baltimore marriage rate is
higher, when in reality it is not
showing up as well as 1t did 10 years
ago.
Other specialists in why the mod
ern girl does not marry say the in
crease in the number of womeI
workers has had the effect of with
drawing from the field OF matri.
mony many candidates who, after
finding that they can be self-support
ing, look askance at marriage be
cause of its uncertainties.
However, no matter what has
caused it, DR.. Bosley hopes it will
stop Baltimore Sun.

JOHN X. TENER,

A mass of stuff has been printed
about the Republican candidate.
John K. Tener, by sensational
journal, to which the candidate has
made answer. But in spite of the
innuendoes and the very evident at
tempt to accomplish results by in
sinuation, the journal in question
has not once made a direct charge
of personal dishonesty. Mr.. Tener's
personal honesty has never been
questioned by the sensational news
paper. Not single dishonest dol
lar has been traced to his possess
sion. When the mess SINNERS down
it is found that the most serious
charge brought against Mr.. Tener
is that, before connecting himself
with a certain corporation or COM
pany, he relied more upon the word
of men whom he believed to be re-
putable and upon the presence as
directors of men of unimpeachable
honesty than he did upon a per-
sonal examination of the assets. He
was with the company but a short
time, having handed in his resigna-
tion because he could not give at
tention to its affairs.
