Diphtheria has made its appearance at
Cisco and throughout Central Illinois. At
Dliopolis the public schools hare been closed
on acconnt of the disease, and several deaths
are reported at Decatur, two at Greenville, and
several at other places. It is said to be caused
by the decaying vegetation.
While prowling in a cornfield near Deep
creek, in Norfolk county, Va Wednesday
bight, a gipsy woman from a camp nearby got
caught in a bear trap. The gun exploded and
wounded the woman so badly that she died
where she was shot, and her body was found

The employes of the Aurora, DI&, watch
factory went on a strike Friday evening. They'
refused to work longer unless some adjustment
oi wages could be made. The company has
been unable to pay its bands for the last week's

Beside the last week's waces the company is
still owing them for seven weeks' labor prior to
the recent failure.
Expert Barney, who has been investigating
the books of Brown University, Rhode Island,
to discover what shortage, if any, there was in
the accounts of ex-Tieasurer Gllman P. Robin
son, son of ex-President Robinson, has
made a report which shows that the
Shortage will exceed 516,000, and that there are
at least 50 instances of manipulation of the
books, which furnish sufficient grounds for
criminal prosecution.
The steamship Prinz Willem L, which ar
rived yesterday at New York, brings advices
from Port-au-Prince to October 19. General
Hyppolyte was inaugurated President on the
10th instant with great pomp. He reviewed
his victorious army immediately after the cere
mony. Great enthusiasm prevailed among the
people. It is rumored that Minister Preston is
to be removed at an early date. All was quiet
at Port-au-Prince when the steamer sailed.
At Fargo. X. D., a second attempt to rob
the postoffice was made early yesterday morn
ing, the result of which is that Harry Melton,
the night dark, has a bullet in his right arm.
Melton says be was awakened shortly after
midnight by the growling of the dog, and found
a robber in the office. He fired five shots at the
roan as he was escaping through an open win
dow and was himself shot in the arm. There
are many stories afloat concerning the affair.
Government detectives hare been here since
Wednesday working on the previous attempt
to rob the office, and promise interesting dis
closures. Melton's story is generally disoe
liered. The Japanese Minister at Washington, Mr.
SIntsu, has received, by official mail from
Japan, the decoration of the Order of the
Crown, conferred upon him by the Emperor in
recognition of his recent conclusion of a treaty
with Mexico, and other services for the State.
"Minister Mutsu had previously been decorated
by the Emperor with the Order of the Rising
Eun. The order was inclosed in the hollow of
a bamboo stick, the method with prevails in
Japan. Mr. Mutsu is not a nobleman, but be
longs to the class in Japan analogous to that of
the gentry in England. It is exceedingly rare
that the orders which he has received are be
stowed upon any bnt the nobility.
An extensive scheme by which the customs
have been defrauded for years has just come to
light at Winnipeg, and it is said that a number
of prominent people are implicated. It appears
that they have been importing basswoodfrom
the United States invoiced as white wood.
There is no duty on the latter, and only an ex
pert can tell the difference. The customs offi
cial', it Is said, hare searched a large number
of local invoices, and also a letter from a
Winnipeg dealer directing the manufacturer in
the United States to invoice basswood as white
wood. Itis also reported that large quantities
of dressed lumber hare been smuggled by these
same parties, the dressed lumber being packed
in the cars with a tier of sawed lumber on
which there is no duty, piled about it so as to
deceive the appraisers.
For the fourth time the Supreme Court of
Nebraska, has heard the appeal of Dr. James
L. Gandy, who complained of error in the
court below, and for the fourth time the Su
preme Court has reversed the findings sind
granted him a new trial. Dr. Gandy Is an old
settler of Humboldt, Richardson county, where
he has, by what some consider Questionable
methods, gathered in many valuable acres and
made numerous enemies, who were bent on bis
ruin. Some three years ago he was arrested,
tried, convicted and sentenced to the penltsn
Oiary lor perjury. The Supreme Court reversed
this finding and granted a new trial. Three
times since then has thls-been re-enacted, and
now be is awaiting a fifth trial in the courts of
Pawnee county, to which place it has beon
taken on a change of venue.
PEDAGOGUE AND PUPIL.
TriEEE will be a meeting of the Teachers'
Guild next Saturday.
As additional room has been opened in the
Bellfield school with Miss Katie Anderson in
charge.
Miss H. Smith, the supervisor of the new
drawing system introduced in the city schools,
left this week for Buffalo.
The reports from the ward schools, so far as
received, for the mouth of October show an in
crease of 280 in attendance over September.
Tee supeirisors of the Teachers' Academy
decided yesterday to assess each member 50
cents to enable the Academy to meet the in
cumbent expenses.
Miss Blanche Jokes, who held the posi
tion of floating teacher at the Forbes school,
has been elected a writing and drawing teacher.
Miss Jean Meyers takes the position formerly
occupied by Miss Jones.
Miss M. E. Sunn, of the Bedford School,
has resigned to teach in the McKeesport
schools. Miss Marv Walters has not been reg
ularly elected, but is teaching in her place. The
attendance has increased 59 since the Central
Board ordered a teacher to be dropped from
this school.
The teachers are very indignant over the ex
aggerated reports about the prevalence of
diphtheria in a number of the ward schools.
Such reports they say injure the attendance at
the schools and bring about the very evil that
is to be shunned, because the children, instead
of going to school, run on the streets and are
liable to catch rold.
The Normal Alumni Association of the High
School will give its annual reception at the
High School November 13. Heretofore the
reception has been held at the close of the
June session of the schools, but last year it
was decided that a cooler month would add
more enjoyment to the occasion. The promi
nent educators, all the members of the Central
Board, and tbo 300 ex-graduates will be in
vited. Two of the schools the Bedford and the
Springfield out of the four ordered by the
Central Board to drop a teacher on account of
decreased attendance hare a sufficient Increase
this month to allow the retention of the same
number of teachers. The North and Riverside
are each obliged to lose one. On Friday even
ing the North School Board suspended Miss M.
Campbell, the last teacher elected, till such a
time as the number of pupils justifies her em
ployment. The following are the names of the pupils
who stand first in the highest grammar rooms
of the various ward schools: Hancock, Hannah
McKeever; Knox, Maggie Beevan; Peebles,
Ned Johnston; North, Emily Jackson; Liberty,
Bertha Young; Mt. Albion, William Graham;
Thad Stevens, Nellie Parrel; Washington,
Verona Graessel; O'Hara, Minnie Shelley; St.
Clair, Lottie Hopkins; Birmingham, Eddie
Rnoell; Wickersham, Linnie Isler: Humboldt,
John Rudolp; Riverside, Lizzie Foley; Frank
lin, Sadie Aufbammer; Duquesne, Frank A.
Aland: Moorhead, Essie McAteer; Lawrence,
John Driscoll; Monongahela, Jerome Kernan;
Homewood, Annie Windtsh; Luckey, Lizzie
Sanders: Hiland, Robert Fulton; Forbes,
Henry Kieckbush and Nellie Kerrigan.
There is likely to be a great change in the
future of the Teachers' Academy. A meeting
of the Board of Supervisors was held yesterday
afternoon and a number of ways was devised to
make the exercises of this society an attractive
feature. It is proposed to hare the meetings
held in a regular society halt, centrally located,
and to hare a regular course of lectures by
noted people. To inspire a progressive spirit
degrees of educational honor, after the Ma
sonic idea, will be conferred. The most im
portant thing mooted, and one that the Pitts
burg teachers have long desired, is that a bene
fit fund will be started to assist sick teachers,
those out of position, etc. A weekly
assessment will be levied on each
teacher for a rear, and the amount placed
to the teachers' credit in some bank.
In Baltimore the educational benefit fund
amounts to $50,000. There when a teacher re
tires from the profession she receives a
monthly percentage of this sum. All these
proposed changes will be brought up at a
special meeting of the Teachers' Academy
called for this purpose on November 9.
Pittsbubg has every prospect of becoming
a great educational center. A nnmber of
noted national educators intend starting a
"Summer School of Methods" during the an
nual vacation in a number of the principal
cities in the United States. The school will bo
after the plan of the one at Round Lake, N.
Y., that has been such a Mecca for educational
people for a number of years' past. Lectures
on pedagogy, psychology, primary work, history
and methods will be the course of the school.
Prof. Frye, of Hyde Park, Mass., a noted
specialist on history, who is oue of the orig
inators of the "Summer School of Methods," is
in communication with Superintendent Hamil
ton, of the Allegheny county schools, regarding
the advantages of Pittsburg as a center, and
states that be will be in the city next month to
investigate. This school will be an educational
affair and include many localities in Ohio. It
is the intention of the faculty to bare the
school In session two weeks in each place, two
sessions going on at the same time in two
neighboring cities. By this means the lectur
ers engaged in the two cities the first week will
change places for the second week. Among
the lecturers will be Dr. Balliet, Profs. Frye,
Speer and Miss Speer, of the West Chester
Normal, a noted primary teacher.

won't cry over spilt milk. The goods are here and they must be sold forthwith. The only difference there'll be is that, instead of making a profit, we shall have to pocket a loss, for, with the present crowded condition of our storerooms,,
our first object is to make room and room we must have immediately, regardless of cost or consequence. No need to wait now for a special Reduction Sale. It will be a-long time befprefyou'll have another such chance to raakeyour,

KAUFMANNS' CLOAK DEPARTMENT
If you are a constant reader and close
observer, you will have noticed that we in
variably advertise and show every new style
in advance of any house-in both cities. It
is an easy matter to follow in our wake, but
to originate styles and patterns and intro
duce them to the public is a rather difficult
undertaking. Take the two new styles illus
trated here, for instance. They cannot yet
be seen in any Cloak House in Pittsburg or
Allegheny, while we have already sold hun
dreds of. them, and experience a larger de
mand for them every day. Thus matters
run. Ladies should remember that the di
versity of styles in Newmarkets this season
is the greatest ever known, and ours is the
only stock in this city that embraces them
