ALMOST A MIRACLE. Raised Up When Science Said Th*>'t Was No Hope. G. W. L.

S Secretions were thick •with sediment, my limbs were swollen and right side so nearly paralyzed 1 could not raise my hand above my head.

The physicians in Mankato had agreed that during their Chautauqua assembly they would employ a call boy, and each was to pay his share of the expense. This boy was to call any doctor who was wanted, without disturbing the speaker, as it was em barrassing to him and looked as if they were doing it to advertise with out expense. So It all went well un til the afternoon when Stcickland W. Gilliland spoke. As he was talking away a certain doctor had a call from the platform, and he walked out rath er ostentatiously. Some of the peo ple who knew of the arrangement laughed or snickered, and the speaker got it. He said: "Don't laugh, folks. That Is the way my brother got his start." And everybody roared.

WILL BE READY VERY SOON Steady Supply of Teachers Will be Available Hereafter—News of tho Day Found in Departments of the State Capitol. (Special Harrisburg Correspondence.) Harrisburg.—Dr. Nathan C. Schaef fer, State Superintendent of Public In struction, has taken up most actively the work of outlining a course in agri culture for the rural schools of the State and before long tentative cours es will probably be ready for consider ation. Dr. Schaeffer, who has given much attention to thiß line of study and recommended it to local district boards In addresses and in his reports, has the assistance of Professor L. H. Dennis, the agricultural education ex pert of his department, who has made a complete tour of the State and ob served conditions. In addition Dr. Schaeffer has writ ten to a number of persons who have been identified with farming all of their lives, asking for suggestions from their experience and observation. It is expected that these suggestions will be of much value in outlining the course. The fact that agriculture has been embodied in the course of State nor mal schools for several years will probably give the educational system the services of some hundreds of teachers qualified iu that branch this fall. Next year the course is to be re quired in such schools so that a steady supply of teachers will be available hereafter. Interesting Coincidence. A singular coincidence in the com ing action to test validity of the nomi nation for Auditor General this year is that three of the lawyers in the case are former deputies to Attorneys Gen eral of Pennsylvania.

High School Report Ready. Some 10,000 odd copies of the report of Dr. Henry Snyder, the Jersey City High School expert who recently went into the High School situation in Har risburg. can be had upon application at the School Board offices in the near future. The board at a recent meeting directed the printing of the reports in pamphlet form, and the question will now be debated in the public forum. Highway Superintendents. Appointments of additonal superin tendents of the State Highway Depart ment will probably be announced with in a few days. The organization of the department's work is proceeding rapidly, and when Chief Engineer S. D. Foster returns from Pittsburgh it is probable that names will be given out. Nineteen are to be named, al though all may not be named at once. Capitol Notes. The H. J.

EMPLOY STONE AS COUNSEL E. V. Babcock, a Millionaire Member of the Council, Volunteered to Pay the Expense of an Attorney to Take Charge of Case. Pittsburgh.—City Council by resolu tion decided to consider the charges made against Directors John M. Mor in, of the Department of Public Safe ty; Joseph G. Armstrong, of the De partment of Public Works, and Dr. E. R. Waiters, of the Department of Pub lic Health, charged a few days ago with malfeasance in office, neglect of duties and of managing their depart ments in the interests of themselves and political friends. The resolution was prepared by Con troller Morrow, who Is clerk of the Finance Committee of Council, under instructions of that committee. The resolution recites that charges of mal feasance and maladministration had been filed against the Directors and that it was the sentiment of Council that those charges should be investi gated by Council. It provides that no tice and a copy of the charges shall be served on each of the Directors and that the investigation should begin at a time designated by Council. The re> solution also provides (hat Judge Rob ert S. Frazer, presiding Judge of the Courts of Allegheny county, or 6ome other, Judge designated by him, shall be the presiding Judge at the investi gation and pass on the law and ad missibility of the evidence. A resolution was alsf passed by Council authorizing the employment of ex-Governor W. A. Stone as counsel for Council,- to advise that body as to the proper mode of procedure and as to the adequacy of the charges filed against the department heads by the Voters' League. E. V. Babcock, a millionaire member of Council, during the discussion of the resolution ordering impeachment proceedings, declared that if the city cannot afford to pay the expense of an attorney to take charge of the case for the city fathers he would be glad and willing to do so. Appeal Low Coal Assessment. Sunbury.—Residents of Zerbe town ship, Northumberland county, appeal ed to Court against the reduction of coal land assessments, which the tax payers assert grossly favor the I'hila depliia & Heading Coal and iron Com pany and Lehigh Valley Coal Company. In 1900 the land in question was as sessed at $1,500,000, now it is put be low $1,000,000. By way of comparison the Pennsylvania Company pays taxes at an assessed valuation of SIOOO per acre in Luzerne county, SISOO per acre in Lackawanna county, while in North umberland the valuation is based at the rate of $l5O per acre. Unless the assessment is raised the taxpayers say they will carry the case into the Su preme Court. Miners Have Vanished. Wilkes-Barre.—Anthracite coal op erators are startled by a mysterious exodus of miners which has prevented a resumption of work in the Schuylkill region. It is over a week since the an thracite mine suspension was lifted, yet there have reported hardly enough hands at any of the collieries to keep them going. Outside men have report ed in sufficient numbers to keep the work moving rapidly enough, but they ciin not be kept busy because of the few coal eutters who have returned to work. The mine officials have infor mation that thousands of their miners have gone to Canada, anticipating a whole summer of idleness here. It is said, that 5000 more have gone into th» Pittsburgh district. Murderous Ax Saves Her.
