PEOPLE Of M'CA|NS
RAISE LARGE SUM TO
AID PUBLIC SCHOOL
CITIZENS EMPLOY ADDITIONAL
TEACHER TO TAKE CARE OF
INCREASED ENROLMENT.
SPLENDID WORK IS DONE
Under the Direction Of Prof. Bingham
Much Enthusiasm Is Aroused for
the School--Attendance Is Above
f the Hundred Mark.

One Of the largest enrollments in
the history of the public schools at
McCains, in the sixth district, has re-
suited in q wave of school enthusi-
asm among the people of that section
that will mean much for the communi-
ty. AS result of the crowded con-
dition of the school the patriotic citi-
zens have subscribed large sum for
the employment of an additional
teacher
The school opened under the direc-
ton of Prof. Bingham, of Culleoka,
formerly teacher in the schools of
Louisiana. The attendance on the
first day was above 100, entirely too
many for two teachers, Miss Beulah
Mccain being the capable assistant.
Prof. Bingham saw the situation at
glance. He knew that no two
teachers in the land could do justice
to so many pupils. He at once called
the local board and the leading citi-
zens and patrons of the school to-
gether. He laid the entire matte be-
fore them, showing them the necessi-
ty for some relief.
The people of the community re-
sponded nobly to the demand. AT
the first meeting 1t was unanimously
decided to employ another teacher.
More than $3.50 was promptly raised
for this purpose and committees were
appointed to canvass among those not
in attendance for additional funds.
The committee is meeting with the
most gratifying success. 1t Is expect
ed that sum of more than $40O will
be secured. The additional teacher
will be employed and the SALARY OF
the principal will lie supplemented
The school attendance law has re-
suited in big increase Of enrolment
in almost all sections of the county
but the gratifying feature of the sit
uation is that the people are more
than willing to bear the additional
burden which it entails. They aprre
! ciate more than ever the value o. ar
educated citizenship.

STATE AGRICULTURE
COMMISSION BILL
Senate Measure is Passed
BY the House.
BOXING ACT ALSO APpAOVED
Smith Act, Creating Three Kinds Of
City Charters, Any One Of Which
Municipality May Choose,
Was Also Passed.

Columbus, Ohio
~ 9TH the house and senate are
putting a number of bills
D through final passage. The
house gave final approval to
the Cunningham senate bill creating
state agriculture commission to
take over all of the work of the va
rious state departments having to do
with agriculture, including the state
board of agriculture. 1t gave this
measure its approval on second read
ing few days ago.
The house also has passed the
Smith bill creating three kinds Of
city charters, any one of which city
can choose for it's form of govern
ment by vote of the people. One of
the forms is the modified federal, a
good deal like that under which Ohio
cities now are operating. Another is
the commission form, experimental
with in so many western states, and
the third is the general manager plan,
or that under which the city council
elects general manager to take
charge of the entire affairs of city.
OF great interest to municipalities
also is the Mills bill which the house
has approved. This facilitates the
city ownership of public utilities by
allowing cities to issue bonds for the
purchase and construction of munich
pal utilities and to sell such bonds
in small denominations for purchase
by all classes. Before passage this
bill was so amended that the bonds
issued may not exceed the Longworth
limitation, and so that the utilities
operated by the city must earn
enough to pay the interest and sink.
ing fund on the bonds issued for it.
To Regulate Boxing.
Advocates of the sport of prize
fighting and boxing are fcommending
the house for its action in approving
the Capelle bill creating state com
mission to supervise and regulate
named by the governor and is to have
secretary whose salary will be $3,
900 year. The measure is especial
ly important in that it gives a sort
Of official recognition to the boxing
game and thus adds to this sport a
dignity which its supporters long have
been advocating. The measure, how.
ever, has yet to get through senate.
A bill with the humanitarian touch
is that of Mr.. Black of Hamilton
county, which the house has finally
approved. 1t provides that the wages
earned by prisoners shall be paid to
their dependents after portion has
bebn taken out to pay for the main
teriance Of the prisoner himself.
The house has received the min
ority and majority report from the
temperance committee on liquor Ii
cense, but has postponed the liquor
fight to 1880 Thursday afternoon. The

HAS A PETRIFIED WATERFALL
One Of the Natural Wonders Of the
World That Is Located in
Country Of Algeria.

With all the beauty of a cataract OF
living water, there is in Algeria re-
markable petrified waterfall which re-
Gently has been engaging the atten'
tion of scientists. This Is the Ham
mam-Meskhutin, which means The
bath OF the damned" and is located 62
miles from Constantine. This solidihed
cascade is the production Of calcare-
GUS deposits from sulphurous ana Ter
ruginous mineral springs, issuing
from the depths of the earth at a tenn
perature OF s5 degrees centigrade.
The bath OF the damned" even
from a near viewpoint, looks for all
the world like q great wall OF water
dashing into a swirling pool at It's
foot, yet its glowing. graceful curves
and the apparently swirling eddies at
it's base are as fixed and immovable as
il carved from the face of a granite
cliff.
Many centuries have, OF course
gone to the making OF the deposits,
and the springs were well known to
the ancient Romans. The name Ham
NAM -Meskhutin was given to the stone
cataract in an allusion to a legend
that the waterfall was petritied by
Allah, Furnishing the impiety of un
believers by turning all the members
of the tribe into stone. At night, &c
the story runs, its stone dwellers OF
the remote ages are freed from their
strange fetters, come to life and re-
sumo their normal shapes.

A law has been enacted in Prussia
which makes IL a prison offense for
any one to fail to answer cry for
help or to go to the rescue of per-
son in danger when 1t is possible to
do so without endangering ones own
life. Such law would not be amiss
in Chicago. Not only ethics, but Or
dinary decency and manliness are too
frequently forgotten here. Let thug
assault a person In the street and the
majority of men who happen along,
instead of going to the assistance Of
the person assaulted, will scurry away
so as not to be dragged into the affair.
Let a person be injured by street
car half the people who witnessed the
accident will refuse to give their
names to be called upon as witnesses
by the victim.
Whether all the ethics of citizenship
can be enforced effectively through
laws and ordinances may be doubted,
yet, the legal declaration of some pri-
mary duties would help to develop a
conscience in such matters now appar-
emily sadly lacking.-Chicago Tribune.

PONTIFF SHOWS GAIN
LACK OF FEVER AND ABILITY TO
SLEEP CAUSES HOPE.
Heart Action 10 Stimulated by Hypo.
dermIe Injections - Constitution
Enables Him to Make the Fight.

Rome, April 1S.-The condition Of
the pope on Thursday gave some cause
for optimism. While his general con-
dition remained practically stationary,
he had avoided the usual night fever
and several times during the night he
dozed, obtaining more rest than for
several preceding nights.
1t is admitted. however, that the &C
ton Of the heart is being sustained
by hourly hypodermic Injections. and
1t is evident that only his strong con-
stitution is enabling him to make such
strong fight.
Another disappointing feature is the
fact that the bronchial affection is not
tending to resolution and the occasion
al paroxysms Of coughing are taxing
the strength of the patient.
The condition of albuminura has
reappeared, and to relieve the kidneys
hot baths have been ordered.
DIR. Andrea Amici paid visit to the
Vatican and, according to his an
nouncement, found only slight eleva-
ton in the temperature and other con-
ditions satisfactory.
Further Improvement in the poPe's
condition was shown by the fact that
he was able to retain quantity OF
chicken jelly. He acknowledged that
he was feeling the benefit Of the abso'
lutte rest imposed upon him and that
he felt more inclined to sleep natural
ly than at any time since his illness.
The aggravation which occurred on
Tuesday evening in the condition OF
the pope reached its climax shortly
before midnight that night and then
gradually wore of In the early morn
ing hours of Wednesday.
The lawyer Fatriarca, who repre-
sents the holy see, was summoned to
the Vatican. The same lawyer drew
up the last testament of Pope Lee
XIII. and the inference Is that he has
been asked to do the same for Pope
Plus X. The lawyer was summoned
after Professor Marchiafava had had
a long conference with Cardinal Merry
del Val.
Pittsburgh, Pa, April 1S.-Cardinal
Gibbons cancelad all engagements and
