Teacheri' Salaries. Krom the Uarrtsburg Telegraph. Representative Hoskins of Eriecounty, has introduced a bill providing for tbe levy aud collection of a two mill tax on real estats the proceeds to be ret u rued to tbe school districts or the State In di rect proportion to the number or teachers employed for an annual term, not less than seven and one-half mouths The purpose of this bill ia to improve the schools by increasing teachers' salar ies Pennsylvania, although one of the richest stales In the Union, rauks low edu cationally, the average of teachers salar ies being lower tban in a large number of our sistr States. The average rate of wages f f teachers of Pennsylvania is only (!l.r 71 per year and slowly falling. Many districts pay wages which are absurdly low. Went Shenangr district, Crawford county, paid, according to the last pub lished State report, fju2 90. to six men teachers, an average of 83i to a teacher for a year's teaching. Middleton district, Susquehanna coun ty, did slightly better. It paid f-tl'l for ten teachers two men and eight women, paying each fc 10. Preston district, Wayne county, paid a roan teacher $11 for a year's services. Here are seventeen teachers in tbe State getting less tban f 100 a year. There are 1,270 teachers in tbe State who get from f 100 to ?lo0 per year, the average being about f 12), while G,&vS get less tban $JH0, averaging perhaps JlOft. Surely the great "Imperial Common wealth," as tbe Baltimore American calls Pecnsylvanis can pay lietter wages to her school teachers Tbe children have a right to be taught by better paid teachers, and the Hoskins school tax bill will provide belter teachers by securing a higher average rate of wages, and it will especially increase the rate of wages paid in the poorer districts.

It so happened that I had a full view of the smokestacks of our works five or six squares distant, and I was hot under the collar when I could see no smoke vomit ing fropj the tall tubes; when Iapproajh ei closer, however, I heard the clatter of the machinery and realize-1 that tbe works were In operatiou. I hurried to tbe engine-room and asked the engineer what was the matter; how be could man age to bold steam in the boilers without fire under them ; that no smoke was com ing from the stacks. The engineer gave me an incredulous look and ran from tbe building to where be could get a sight of the tops of the stacks. Return iug a few minutes afterwards he said: 'We have solved the great problem for Pittsburg; this ruel is smokeless.' " While the Li-stie people do not elaim that their coal is a "smokeless ruel," they are satisfied that it does not make more than 25 per cent, as much smoke as the coal miued in whut is popularly known a the "Pittsburg District," Zaiter Card and Kovelties Fisher's Book Stork.

Admiral Sampson has written for the April Century an illustrated article fully describiug tbe work of ' The Atlantic Fleet in the Spanish War," and drawing its lessons. Tbe more important features of this paper are a plan setting forth the character of the blockade of Santiago Harbor; maps showing the relative posi tions from day to dsy of Cervers Scblf, , and Sampson ; and a series of bird's-eye plans of the engagement of July 3, show, ing the positions of tbe vessels at differ eat stages or the fight. In a foot-note the Admiral tells this good story: "As we passed the Teresa and Oquendo, a Spanish sailor was seen straggling in the w iter on the seaward side of tbe New York. In response to bis calls for help, one of tbe crew seizad the chaplain's read ing-desk, which was stowed on tbe main deck in tbe passage between the two cab ins and which had a cross showing on it. As be did so, he cried out grimly, 'Cling to the cross and you'll be saved!' The Spaniard followed instructions and was saved." ' Give the Children a Drink railed Orain-O.

Patriot anxious to serve their country as enumerators of their fellow-citizens iu the census next year, need not rush to Washington Just now, nor even trocble themselves to write to their Representa tive in Congress, says the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. A rumor has been set afloat that 3,000 persons are to be em ployed immediately by tbe director of the census and selected pro rata from tbe late upon the recommendation of con gressmen, and that 57,000 more appoint ment upon congressional and senatorial recommendations will follow during the early spring and summer. This report must have been started by a practical joker or a malicious mischief maker. It has obtained a wide circula tion, and many seeker after census place have gone to Washington already, to look after their obanoes while many more are writing beseeching letters to congressmen. Tbey are doomedj to dis appointment, Nosach wholesale distrib ution of Jobs is about to be msds A few experts will soon be selected to organize tbe barean and prepare a plan, but it will be month before ordinary clerk or other employe will be needed. Probably, as many as 50.000 or 53.003 persons will be employed at one time or another in taking the census but tbe greater portion of them will work for only a .few week next year.

Plan of Organixatioa Somber of Employee Koolred Some of the Salaries Paid. Ex-Governor Merriam, of Minnesota, who has been appointed to direct the tak ing of the census next year and the after compilation and publication, waa re cently interviewed by a newspaper man, to whom be said : 'I hope to get the organization started by the fiist of April. It will proceed slowly. The three hundred supervisors will not be appointed before the 1st of next December, bnt, io the meantime, I will be selecting the various expert who will have charge of the details I am not a statistician nor an expert, but I hope to prove capable of giving the census a good organization, so that when the work of enumerating the population and collect ing the statistics begins we can go right ahead without losing aoy time. The enumeration, as you know, doe not be gin until tbe first or Jans lXk. Under the law tbe census is to relate specifically to four items population, mortality sta tistics the products of agriculture, and of mechanical and manufacturing establish ments The reports covering these four braochesmust be completed in two years. Then we are authorized to take up special questions including statistic relating. a nong other things to insane, blind and deaf persons criminal, and reformatory institutions public indebtedness electric, telephone and telegraph business trans portation, mines and mining. We are given three years in which to publish this great mass of information. "As you know," continued the gov ernor, "the number of enumerators will reach at least 50,001. We will occupy this summer and next winter in ploltiug the United States in geographical division and subdivisions and assigning the su pervisors and tbe enumerator to their respective districts. This will really be tbe first work we shall do. A to the ap pointments none will be made immedi ately. There can be no appointments until tbe work ha been all mapped out. Io the selection of supei-visrira I shall fol low the spirit of the law and treat all po litical parties fairly. A for the clerks none will be needed for month to corns When they are appointed they will be subjected to a fair exa-ninatiou to prove their accuracy, rapidity and general com petency. Itua!l not be a competitive ex amination, but one to dam ms'.rate tne efficiency of those whoee selection is asked. I shrill endeavor to get the fullest possible amount of workout or the em ployee, and, indeed, the comparatively short space of time allowed by the gov ernment to complete the census will make earnest, energetic labor Imperative. In the taking of the census in 1.S00 about three thousand clerk were employed here in' Washington. As to the taking the census of our new possessions, the law directs that the census of Alaska and Hawaii shall be taken. It will be a diffi cult task to operate in Alaska on account of the great stretches or almost uninhab ited territory tbers but by putting some experienced and capable man ia charge nd leaving the management very large ly in his bands. I do not anticipate trouble. We will have to follow tbe same plan in Hawaii, on account of the diffi culty of communicating with those Islands. I do not know yet what is to be doue about Porto Rico and the Philip pines although both will undoubtedly b3 American territory in the fullest seise of tbe word in UO0. If we have to count the natives In the Philippines," ad ded Gov. Merriam laughingly, "our enumerators will meet with some queer experiences." The following is said to be a form of re ply nsed by many congressmen to letters inquiring in regard to census appoint ments: No appointments are to be made immediately; supervisors are not to be named until next Djcember; clerk will not be needed for several months; fifty thousand enumerators will be employed. The law gives tbe director or the censu the appointment or more than 51,000 pub lic employes including 50,000 enumera tors or the census at graded pay; W su pervisors, salary f 1,000 each or more; five chief statisticians salary S3.0U0 each; one chief clerk, one disbursing clerk, one ge ographer, salary 12500 each; five expert chiefs of divisions and two stenographers salary 12,000 each; ten clerks of class 4, salary $1,700; fifteen clerks of class 3. sal ary $1,500; twenty clerks of class 2, sala ry $1,300; 30U0 clerks or class 1, and clerks, cipyi8ts, computers and skilled laborers aid others, with salaries from f-W to $1,000 each.
