An apology or an expla-
nation is due our patrons
this week on account of the
appearance of the paper.
The print is not up to the
standard and we regret it
very much but sometimes
the best regulated machin-
cry gets out of order, and
sometimes the best regulat-

don't know which was the

our efforts the dim spots re-
NAMED. Bear with us this

If an Inspector should pay
the Courier Office a visit one
of these days and ask a peep
at our subscription book we
would have some explaining
to do, and we are afraid our
explanations wouldn't be en-
tirely satisfactory to that
official. Our list Of delin-
quent subscribers is growing
longer instead of shorter
and we are permitting this
to occur at a serious risk of
having the publication of
the Courier suspended, and
this we do not want to occur.
The law does not allow us to
carry non-paid up subscrib-
ers on our books beyond a
certain fixed time and we
write this hoping that any
of our subscribers who are
not paid up will be good en-
ough to call and settle. We
would dislike very much to
drop a single patron from
our list, but self preserva-
ton is the first law of ma
ture.

SCHOOL METHODS.

In this article for the "Couri-
er" ] shall try to give its read
ers a glance view of some very
peculiar methods of teaching:
first, teaching a child to read in
China;
Teacher and pupils sit on floor.
The teacher opens a book (clas-
steal Lilerature) and begins to
read. The pupils, with books
in hands, repeat every word ut
tered by the teacher, pointing to
the words with their tore-fngers;
Only one line is read at a time,
then repeated until the pupils
can read the line without help.
The pupils then close their books
and repeat the line, then the tea
cher proceeds to the next line
until the whole book is learned
by heart. No attention is paid
to the meaning of words, so that
the pupil may read the whole
book huently without understand.
ing its contents; This process is
deadening to the child mind; Its
effect is the China of to day.
Second, Teaching a Hindo to
write. Teacher and pulls SIT
on sandy floor, some lines in the
open, sometime in a tent; The
teacher and pupils are supplied
with sticks. The teacher makes

The terrible fire in a shirt
waist factory, Washington
square, New York, Satur-
day, in which nearly $50
persons, ninety per cent of
whom were women and
girls, lost their lives, is an
other horrible example of
the sacrifice of human life. to
Mammon.
Only a few months ago,
in this same Hell-hole, those
overworked and underpaid
Shirt Waist Makers struck
for higher wages and better
conditions under which to la
Dor. Both demands were
refused by the vampires who
owned the business and the
poor girls were literally star
we'd into submission and
forced, by circumstances to
return to the death-trap in
which they lost their lives
last Saturday.
There is something wrong
with a social system that
will permit such conditions
to exist. The law provides
that fire escapes and safety
devices shall be installed in
buildings Of this kind and
there are men whose duty it.
Is to see that these regula-
tons are complied with, but
in order that the shirt waist
manufacturers in this case
might add a few more sheck-
les to their hoard the officers
responsible for the enforce
ment of the law winked at
the neglect of the manufac-
turers to properly safeguard
the lives of their employees,

w ERE OVERJOYED
Family Reunion in Homes-Judge Grace Says He Did Not Try
 Persecution.

Realizing that it would be an impos- sibility for the jurors to render ver- dict one way or the other. Judge A. B. Grace yesterday morning called the Mamie Riley murder case jury into court and discharged them. The jury at that time stood four for con nvction and eight for acquittal The jurors had been Hooked up'' nearly five days during which time they balloted more than fifty times, with no unanir2c IS decision on any one ballot.
 Judge Grace informed the jurors that he YVES not disposed to persecute them by keeping them in harness such a great length of time, but that he hoped to avoid another necessary trial of the case and save the county mo- ney. He said his order given two days ago, that if the jury ate any more meals it would not be at the expense of the county, was done Tn spirit of fun as he knew we'll that the provide meals for the jurors and also proper quarters for sleep.
 The jurors, who had been kept away from their families for naarly a week were overjoyed at being freed once more. They rushed from the court room to their respective homes and were happily greeted by their wives and children and the single ones by their sweethearts. Tn some homes happy reunion of the families re- suited.
 In justice to those members of ths jury who were reported to have hung the jury notwithstanding the major ity was against them, it is reliably stated that upon the first ballot the jury stood six for and six against conviction. On the next ballot the vote stood seven for and five against. This state of affairs held until Sat urday night. During the time the jury was deliberating there was t bal- lot t9ken and 10 were actually stand ing up, voting for conviction, with one man ready to vote with them 1T the other would. After this eight ct the members of the jury voted four against and four for conviction with the other four members switching anyway to get out. The final result was as stated to Judge Grace yester- day, four for conviction and eight against.
