THE DAILY EXAMINER.

SEPTEMBER 2. 1889.

Stadies at Prince of Wales College.

Tue Pioneer dilates upon ‘*the vacant professorship in Prince of Wales College.” lf the Pioneer were wise it would have at first ascertainad whether or not there is *‘a We are pleased to learn that the resignation of Mr. Lepage accepted by the Govern-

vacant professorship.”

been went. To dispense so summarily with a valued teacher,—one who has wrought long and hard, and with distinguished ability for a very small salary; one whose health has been broken by reason chiefly of his devo- to duty,—would not be kind or just. Noris such action necessitated by the requirements of the public service; for we are well assured that Dr. Anderson and Professors Caven and McLeod will each

has not

tion

gladly take an extra class or two in order that their comrade and friend may rest, with a quiet mind, so long as he is ill.

But if no other reason existed for delay in the acceptance of Mr. Lepage’s reigna- tion, that which is involved in the questien should be ap-

whether or not a Professor

pointed who is competent to give lectures

scientific agriculture, is quite suffi

upon cient. This question must be carefully

; a considered. We agree with the Pioneer

that ‘‘the Government vwes it to the farmers and farmers’ sons of this Island to adapt the teaching of the College as far as pos- sible to the necessities of the province—to give considerable attention to those branch- es of educaticu whiel the boys in after life

ean utilize, and which will render the voca-

tion oO tarniing more profitable.” VW 2 have bitherto dev ted our attention to the production of men for the professions. ln

this we have been wonderfully successful. examin- and

Our young men have passed ations in classics and have taken high and honorable rank at Dalhousie, Queen’s and McGill; and many

the earth

mathematics,

are seattered over the face of practicing Law, Physic and Theology, with credit to themselves, and with advantage (let us hope) to the world at large. But some of them might, perhaps, be just as as well em- ployed if they were tilling the soil of this province and making their wealth here. They might not be making such a great name or fame, but they might be happier and their efforts might tend to the advanc- ment of our own trade and. our own pros- perity, without material loss to the universe. The policy of engaging our boys in study which will inspire them with respect for nature and the farm is, certainly, to be considered before any vacancy which may vecur in the staff of teachers at Prince of Wales College is filled.

The Pioneer deprecates the idea of ap-

+e

pointing to Prince of Wales College ‘‘ one of the inspectors of schools for this Pro- vince.” If either_of these gentlemen be ambitious of promotion he may now con- gratuiate himself. The Government will, no doubt, give his application their favorable consideration when they come to- gether to reorganize the staff of the College. If a teacher capable of teaching botany, chemistry and practical agriculture be needed, so also is one who can show the pupil teachers how to teach according to the lates®and most approved methods. Neither of the Inspectors may be able to teach agriculture ; but either or both may be competent to train teachers, suci their observations and experience in the schools throughout the country might be turaed to good account in fitting young teachers to cope successfully with ** the difticulties of the situation” which they will encounter in their professional career. In this view the appointmont of one of the

lnapectors of Schools might be seen to be

advisable. but the whole matter is one to be care- ousidered; and it is, from every

point of view, expedient that hasty action

Notes and Clippings.

The fine poem entitled ‘* Albemarie ” Cushing, which we have clipped from the September number of the Century Magazine and publish to-day on the last page of THE Examiner, will be particularly interesting to our readers, inasmuch as the author is a Charlottetown boy—James Jeffrey Roche, son of Edward Roche, Esq., of the Provin- cial Library. We are glad to note that Mr. Roche is taking the rank among the literati of America to which he is mtitled.

—It is a very noticeable fact that steel is fast superseding iron in all manner of structures. As recently as 1878, with the exception of one per cent., all the steamers built in England were of iron. In 1887 of the vessels built in the shipyards of Great Britain, more than 89 per cent. were built of steel, and the proportion of iron used last year and ia use this year for that pur- pose is considerably smaller, The reason for this change is obvious. There is but little difference in cost. But a steel ship having lighter plates, can carry on the average about four per cent. more cargo. That considerations relating to wear and tear are all in favor of steel and iron for other purposes is equally true.

—A movement is on foot in the States to- wards the abolition of the ** caucus sys- tem.” The C.n'ury Magazine for September says : “* Possibly the greatest gain of all will be found in time to be that secured through independent nominations. This is the straightest and deadliest blow which has been struck at the caucus system. Henceforth, in eight States, any body of nen, though a mere handful, can get their

ment in case its own nominations are not satisfactory. Heretofore, the most effec- ive obstacle to an independent ticket has

been the difficulty and expense of getting it distributed at the polls.

—The September Century contains a paper on Napoleon Bonaparte of unusual interest and importance, being contempor- ary accounts, by British officers, of the ex- Emperor's exile in Elba ; his voyage to St. Helena and life on that isiand. Not the least valuable part of this record consists of the conversations here preserved with Napoleon on some of the most prominent passages of his career. The Lincoln in- stallment is crowded with absolutely new material, and has to do mainly with Lin- coln’s triumphant re-election. The authors quote freely from unpublished MSS, by Lincoln, and their own letters and diaries. The sketch of Chase's career is continued to his death, and includes an account of his appointment as Chief Justice. Apropos of the latter portion of the Lincoln history 1s the article by Justice Bradley of the Su- preme Court on Chief Justice Marshall, accompanying a rare portrait of the great Chief Justice by the French artist, M:min. An ariicle appropriate to the season is Mr. Hamilton Gibson’s ingenious and original study of butterfly and plant hfe, accom- panied with illustrations by the author. (nis paper is entitled ** Winged Botanists,” and shows the remarkable botanical know- ledge of the various butterflies in selecting allied plants fur food in the caterpillar stage. The American artist, Mr. Wores, whose studies of Japanese life aud lands- cape have recently attracted so much at- tention in York and London writes ap- preciatingly and most interestingly of Japanese things ; and the text is illuminat- ed by reproductions of a number of his oil paintings. Mr. Paine, whose article on the ** Pharaoh of the Bondage ” will b> remem- bered, presents an illustrated study of the identity of ** The Pharaoh of the Exodus of his Son "—in the light of their monuments. George Kennan closes his account vf ** The Kara Political Prison,” in an article devot- ed to the tragic history of the institution.

Another illustrated article is Emmet O’Brien’s account of ‘Telegraphy in

Battle” during the civil war. Altogether the September number of the Century is most interesting.

Attempt to Assassinate

THE MAN WHO IDENTIFIED MAi-TIN BURKE

ASSAULTED BY A DOZEN YOUNG MEN —

PURSUED ALMOST TO HIS OWN DOOR.

A desperate attempt was made a few

nights ago, in Chicago, to assassinate Gus

Klahere, the tinsmith, who, last week,

identified Martin Burke as the man for whom he soldered together a tin box, on

May 6, which it is supposed contained the clothing of Dr. Cronin. When within a bleck of his home, he was assaulted by ten

or a dozen young men. They knocked him

down, beat him about the head with some blunt instrument, and threw him over a! low fence to the ground below, a distance

of 12 feet. He struggled to his feet, call-

ing for help, and ran towards home. His

brother and the servant girl heard his

screams, and ran towards him. His assail-

ants sprang over the fence after him, and

pursued him almost to the door. Klahere

fell as he entered the door and became un-

conscious before anything could be learned

from him as to the assault, and up to a late

hour ke was still unable to speak or recog-

nize anyone.

APPEARANCE OF THE PRISONERS.

When the names of the six prisoners charged with the murder of Dr. Cronin were called in court last week, the accused entered in single file. Burke was the first. Then came Woodruff, Coughlan, Beggs, Sullivan, and Kunze, in the order named. Burke was ill at ease. “His face was flush- ed. Woodruff was pale. His long confine- ment has bleached his face. Hus personal appearance, however, has greatly improved since the day he was found tramping around the Twelfth street district with a horse which it was thought he had stolen. His hair was neatly brushed, and he wore a new black suit. Big Dan Coughlan, who seems to be so deep in the conspiracy, was pale, too, but he was more nervy than the confesser. He never iooked at Burke, but chatted almost constantly with Beggs, who sat at his left. The two men often nodded to acquaintances in the crowd. Beggs is the best looking man among the prisoners. He wore a neat-fitting suit, with a white lawn tie. His face is ruddy and full, He thinks he will not be convicted, but there is good reason for believing that the evi- dence against him is stronger than that against any of his companions. Sallow- faced Pat O'Sullivan did not lovuk any more radiant because he wore a yellow tie. The ice man seems to appreciate his peril. He spoke hardly a word during the time court was in session. His eyes were almost

CONSTANTLY RIVETTED ON HIS LAWYERS.

Little John Kunze, who, it is alleged,

drove Coughlin to the slaughter house in Ashland Avenue before the murder was cummitted, looked like one of the Anar- chists during the last days of the famous trial of 1886. His hair was plastered over to one side of his small head, and iu one of the buttonholes of his coat wasa bunch of blood red geraniums. Burke is stolid and indifferent. Coughlin is a man of iron nerve with a heavy jaw and deep set eyes.

Beggs is handsome and confident. Sullivan

is serious and painfully attentive. Kunze is giddy, and runs to pomades and flowers. While the extracts from Woodrutf’s confes- sion were being read Coughlin and Beggs smiled contemptuously. Even Burke showed his disgust for the man beside him by looking at him with a savage leer. The confessor grew whiter, if that were possible, during the reading of the affidavits. He slid down into his seat, sprawled his legs out in front of him, and rested his foreliead in the palm of his right hand. Finally he became so nervous that he unbuttoned his vest and loosened his necktie. His mother looked at him constantly.

Boston Markets. Avaust 29.

Eaes.— There has been a steady fair de- mand for choice fresh stock with prices a little firmer on most kinds. Genuine east- ern extras, all new laid, bring 20 cents without difficulty, but a good many have been held or are more or less mixed with held stock, and have an uncertain value. P. E. Island, N. 8. and N. B. are steady at 17 cents.

Pou.try.—The market has been general- ly well supplied this week and ther® “has been but little variations in prices. Choice large chickens are in most demand just at present. Some extra northern chickens bring 20 cents in small lots. Ducks are in fair demand and steady. ‘There has been a steady demand for chvice live fowls at Lle ; chickens range from 10 to 12c. as to quality. Choice ducks steady at 11 cents.

PoratTors.—Receipts have been very heavy this week, altogether too lwrge for the trade and as much of the stock is gréen and needs quick handling, there has been great pressure to sell. The market began to break Thursday afternoon and by Friday prices had fallen from 15 to 20 cents per bushel. Since then trade has been dragging with 50 cents about the top for fancy Hebrons and few sales of Rose at over 45 cents.

Fish.—The market holds about steady with a fair trade in most lines. Cod are still in light supply and firm. Receipts of mackerel light and prices still ruling high.
