It seems to the New Orleaus Picayune
as though the educational interests of
the United States would soo:i bo almost
exclusively in tiic hands of women. Statistics
show that the number of male
reacuors is inning oir, f.s niso tnoir wages
^ as compared with thoso of women. In
Massachusetts 'statistics show that while
there has been an increase in the whole
number of teachers of 322, it is wholly
in favor of females, there being a dccrease
of one in the number of males employed,
with an increase of 323 in tho
ntimber of females. There is a corresponding
decrease in the average wages
of males and of Icmales, the former receiving
$8.51 less per month and the Ut*
wolnen can he hired to keep school is an
obstacle to the employment of an increasing
proportion of male tachers.
German statisticians have been figuring
upon the probable effect of tho nowost
weapops in the next war. In 1870 the
proportion of soldiors wounde l on tho
German side was 14.UN per cont. of tho
total number in the Held. Only 2.2 per
cent, were actually killod. Since then
an immense improvement has been effected
in ar.ns of precision, and it is Inlieved
that in future engagements the
proportion of wounded will be greater
Ujjlgp but that the wounds
often paa? through bones without splintering
them. It is estimated that about
twenty per cent, of the troops will be
wounded in the next onmpaign, and that
? little more than three per cent, will be
killed. That is to nay that in an army
corps of 35,000 men, 1,200 will be killed
nS Kftnn nnnrlpd. A limit nnn-third
of the wounds, it is thought, are likely
to be serious. Intending combatants are
welcome to all the consolation contained
in these scientific predictions.

Public School ?be everywhere the centre
of the local celebration.
The Schools of the United States are

various localities, and to make this possible
the World's Congress invites the cooperation
of educators uud teachers
throughout the natiou.
The Press is asked to enlist itself to
make a systematic Celebration gcueral.
The Address suggests that at least oue
feature of the exercisjs be identical in
both Exposition dedication and local
Celebrations.
President bouncy and the national
body of Superintendents of Education
have jointly npnointcd the following
natned Executive Committee to promote
the celebration and prepare a uniform
program for use in all localities:
Francis Bellamy, of the Youth's Cora

Electoral Commission Method*
Charged in Louisiana's Count.
New Ohlbahs, La.?The Democracy
of Louisiana is split strain, and this time
worse than ever. The compromise by
which it was sought to unite the two
Democratic fuctioin, each of which hud
a full State ticket in the Held, headed by
McEnery and Foster respectively, provided
for a general Democratic prima'y
oa March 22. Anticipating trouble over
the count at this clec ion, a special committee
of seven was created to act like
the famous Electoral Commission of 187(5.
It consisted of three men of each faction,
the seventh man being the Hon. John
Young, who was regarded as thoroughly
conservative and impartial, lie had favored
Foster for Governor, but bad not
'iiin liiujibiini He had been
the law partner of MeKuciy, v?i v?as
thought to be one of the men in Louisiana
able to act neutrally and without prejudice
ia this cave.
More than 90,000 voles were polled, a
larger number than the the Democracy
has received in any election in Louisiana
except one. The first returns showed a
good majority for MeEnery, and the result
was accepted by the Foster people.
Later returns reduced McKnery's mnjori
ty to 1,728. Then the Foster people set
up the plea that some of the boxes in
?uw * means nan neon siitiic<l. Ever
since lite election the committee, has been
engaged in investigating the returns.
Several irregularities and frauds wore un
earthed in the parish of Sabine in favor
of Foster, and in New Orleans in favor of
McEncry. In Sabine the committee set
the matter right by throwing out the
fraudulent votes, hut when it eame to
New Orleans the Foster people insisted
that the whole precinct where fraud occurred
sU?>;ild be thrown out.
-?for lliu last three
liar been argued before the committee
When it reached a vote the committee
followed in the footsteps of the Electoral
Commission. Mr. Young, the odd man,
voted with his faction, and by a vote ?>f
4 to It it decided to throw out the entire
First precinct of the bixtli ward, which
i gave McEncry 7o0 majority. As soon as
the vote was nun- unccd the three McEncry
members of the committee, declaring
it was obviously intended to count McEuery
out, left the room, thus bringing
, the session to a close, and starting a new
split in the party. There were tivc other
! precincts yet to he passed on, which
it is believed, would he thrown
out, giving Foster a majority of 400, as
against McEuery's majority on the face
of the icturns of 1,72H.
The precinct in the bixlh ward war
thrown out on the ground that the ualiCo *
was not a secret out*, and that the Fostet
^jj^in-rt ro not allowed to exile

The Remarkable Experience of ('has [
Quant as Investigated by an Al- ?
bany (N. Y.) Journal Report- I
er?A Ktory of Sur- ^
parsing Interest.
Albany, N. Y. Journal, Marob 12th. t
Saratoga, March 11th.?For some time *
past there have been reports here and else- fc
where in Saratoga Couuty of a most remark
able?indeed, so remarka le as to lie miraeu- ?
lous?cure of a most severe case of locomotor '
ataxia, or creeping paralysis, simply by the I
use of a popular remedy known as 'Tink >
Tills for Pale People,prepared and put up '
bv the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, <
Morristown, N. Y., and Brockville, Out. 1
The story was to tho effect that Mr Chas. r
A. Quant, of Oalway, who for tho last six c
or eight years has been a great sufferer from <
creeping paralysis and its attendant ills, nnd t
mho Lad become utterly powerless of all ?
Velf-help, had, ny tho itso of a few box** of t
the Pink Pills for Palo People, boon so fully I
restored to health as to lie able to walk I
about tho street without tho aid of crutches.
The fame of this wonderful, miraculous euro 1
was so great that the Evening Journal re- '
porter thought it worth his while to go to '
Calway to call on Mr. Quant, to learn from t
his lips, and from tho observation ami testi- >
mony of bis neighbors, if his alleged euro 1
was a fact or only an unfounded rumor. '
And BO ho drove to (Inlwnv mill an><nt. n iliiu 1
and a night there in visiting Mr. Qimnt, li
Retting his story and intorviewiug hia
neighbors nnd fellow-townsmen. It may bo 1
proper to say that Galway is a pretty littlo 1
village of about 400 people, delightfully J
located near the centro of the town
of Galway, in Hnratoga County, and 1
about 17 miles from Saratoga Springs. 1
Upon inquiry the rcsidonco of Mr.
Charles A. Quant was easily found, for .
everybody seemed to know him,speak well of
him, and to be overflowing with surprise ami '
satisfaction at his wonderful euro and restoration
to the activities of enterprising citizenship,
for Mr. Quant was born in Galway :
and had spent most of his lifo there. Mr. '
Quant was found nt his pretty btmic^jjnn
TaPPesponse to a kii,<JWlnW<itikMdoor it was (
o| oned by a man who, in reply to an inquiry ^
if Mr. Ouant lived thero and was at home,
said: "I am Mr. Quant, Will you como itif t
After a little general nnd preliminary convor- (
sation, and after he had been apprised of the j
object for which the Journal reporter had j
called upon him, he, at request, told tho (
story of himself nnd of his sickness and .
terrible sufferings, and of the ineffectual ]
treatment he had had, and of his final cure (
by the use of Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for
Pale People, and cheerfully gave assent to
its use for publication, lie said: "My name
is Charles A. Quant. I am 87 years old. 1(
was born in the villago of Galway, and, ex- .
eepting while traveling on business and a
littlo while in Amsterdam, kavo spent my >
whole lifo here. My wife is a native of i
Ontario. Up to aliout eight years ago I bad
never been sick nnd was then in perfect
health. I was fully six feet tall, weighed
180 pounds and was very strong, hortwelve I
years I was a traveling salesman for a piano
and organ company and bad to do,or at least
did do, a great deal of heavy lifting, got my
meals very irregularly and slept m enough
spare boils' in country houses to freeze auy

dyspepsia. But I continued to grow grad- Tt
ually worse for four years. Then I began ! '
to have pain in my bnck nnd legs en I became '
conscious that my legs wero getting weak ]
and my stop unsteady, and then I staggered |
when 1 walked. Having received no benefit
from tho use of nntent medicines, and feeling
that I was constantly growing worse, I then, 1
upon advice, began the use ot electric belts, | i
pads and all the many dilTcrent kinds of t
electric appliances 1 could hoar of, an 1 spent 1 ,
hundrods of dollars for them, but they did i
me no good. (Hero Mr. Quant showed the | J
Journal reporter an electric suit of under- '
wear for which he paid #124.) In the fall of (
1888 the doctors advised a chungeof climate, j |
so 1 went to Atlanta, (la., and acted asagont '
for the Estey Organ Company. While there I
I took a thorough electric treatment, but it
only seemed to aggravate my disease, aud I
the only reliof I could get from the sharp '
and distressing ])ains was to take mor- | s
phine. The pain was so intenso at times I
that it seemed as though I could not stand I ?J
it, and I almost longed for ileath as the only ,
certain relief. In .Septemlier of 1888 my j
legs gave out entirely and my left eye was
drawn to one side, so that 1 had '
siirht and was dizzy. My |
that 1 had to givo up business. (
turned to New York and wont to the Roosevelt
hospital, where for four months 1 was J
treatod l>y specialists and they pronounced '
my case locomotor ataxia and incurable. I
After I had been under treatment by Prof. f
Starr and Dr. Ware for four months, they |
told ino they had done all they could for me. | .
Then 1 went to the New York hospital on j 1
Fifteenth street, whore, upon examination, s
they said I was incurable and would not take j (
ino in. At the Presbyterian hospital they j ,
examined me and told mo the same thing, i

of Prof. Hun's famous skill and I remained
under his treatment for nine weeks, but socured
no benefit. All this time I had l>oen
growing worse. I hnd become entirely
paralysed from my waist down and had
partly lost control of my hands. The pain
was terrible; my legs felt as though they
were ftreesing and my stomaob would not rata|?food,

more burns on and treated irte with electricity,
but I got worse rather thau better*

upon advice of the doctor, who said there
was no.hope fpr me. I was brought .home,
where It was tbougnt that death would soon
come to relieve me of my suffering?, l/ast
Heptember, while In this helpless and suffering
condition, a friend of mine in Hamilton,
Ont.. culled my attention to the statement
of one John Marshall, whose case had been
similar to my own. and who had been cured
bythousoof Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for
Pale People.
"In this ease Mr. Marshall, who is a prominent
member of the Hoyal Templars of

' Other citizens of Oalway, seeing the wonlerful
cure of Mr. Quant by the Pink PilU
or Pale People, are using them. Frederick
v'xton, a sufferer from rheumatism, said he
vas tinning great benetit from their use. and
dr. Schultz, who had suffered from chronlo
lysentery for years, said he had taken two
loxes of the pills and was already cured.
Mr. Quant had also tried Faith cure, with
xperts of that treatment in Albany and
Jreeuviile, 8. C.t but with no beneficial reults.
A number of the more prominent, citizens
if Ualway, as Kov. C. K. Herbert, of the
'resbyteriau church; Prof. James K. Kelly,
irincipal of the academy: John P. and Harrcy
Crouch, and Frank and Edward Willard,
nerchants, and many others to whom Mr.
juant and his so miraculous cure by the use
it l)r. Williams's Pink Pills for Palo People
ire well known, were pleased to havo the
ipportunity of bearing testimony to the high
Imructer of Mr. Quant, ami of verifying
ho story of his recovery from the terrible
iftliction from which he had for so long a
,ime been a sufferer.
iruiy, the duty of the physician is not
:o save life, but to licnl diseas-*. *The
remarkable result rro:n iii?*tu?e of Dr.
iVilliams's Pink Pills in the cose of Mr.
juant, induced the reporter to make further
uquiries concerning them, uud he ascerained
that they arc not a patent medicine
n the sense in which that term is generally
ised, but a highly scientific preparation,the
esult of years of study ami careful expertnent.
They have 110 rival as a blood
uildcr and nerve restorer and hive met
vith unparalleled success in the treatment
>f such diseases as paralysis, rheumatism,
iciatica, Kt, Vitus's dance, palpitation of the
leart, that tired feeling which affects so
nany, and all diseases depending upon a
watery condition of the blood or shattered
lerves.
Dr. Williams's Pink Pills are also a specific
'or trouble peculiar to females, such as suppressions,
Irregularities, and all forms of
weakness. They build up the blood and restore
the glow of health to pale or sallow
iheeks. fn the case of men they affect a
*udical cure in all cases arising from mental ,
worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever
Ou further iuciuiry thi? ? .
heso pills are manufactured by The L>r.
iVilliams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.,
tnd Morrlstown, N. Y., and are sold in
joxes (never in bulk by the hundred), at 50
outs u box, or six boxes for $2.50, and uiay
;>a had of all druggists or direct by mall
Irom Dr. Williams Medicine Co., from

pills are sold makes a course of treatment
comparatively inexpensive 11s compared with
other remedies, or medical treatment.

in session refused to grant liquor

so from the city hoard of aldermen,

commissiouors have decided to
cllow in the footsteps of the Mccklen>urg
