School Statistics.
The school statistics of this country

..place ho will then bo in a position where

A CO-OPERATIVE IDEA
If thu Monroe doctriuo is good for the
Unitod States it is better for tho other
American republics in which its opera
tiou is intended to bo effective From
tho point of view ot thoso ro publics our
support of that doctrlno must have a sec
ondary interest. In view of that inferior
resisting power as compared with that of
the United States tho doctrine- should bo
a more important consideration with
thorn than with us.
It cannot bo very agreeable to Brazil ,
for instance, to boo Euglnud inarching
her troops across Brazilian torritory for
thu purpose of harrying and lullvim; tho
weak sister republic of Venezuela. Not
for n moment would England think tf
using the territory of the United States
for such n purpose. Nor would England
think of doing such a thine in Brazil or
auy other South American or Central
American repnblic if all tho republics of
the Western Hemisphere were united to
enforce the Monroe doctrine. Nor, for
that matter, would there be auy such
thing as a dispute between England and
Venezuela over tho Venezuelan boundary
if the republics ot this hemisphere were
unite;! in a compact to smtain tho doc
trine.
As it stands we aro confronted with
the curious anomaly of thu United States
Government, for its own safety and in
t crests, standing iuard over the weaker
repnblict) of tho south and preserving
them from European invasion and dis
memberment, without so much as a rec
ognition of the service from the south
ern republics or an effort on their pait to
make an enforcement of the doctriuo
more thoroughly effecticc. A proper
realization of this peculiar condition of
things ought to be sufficient to movo
them toward a performance of their
manifest duty in the premises.
By the way, is our government really
insisting on the enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine? If so why is England per
mitted to march her troops through
Brazil and harry and bully the defense
less republic oi Venezuela, with the ap
parent purpose of appropriating some of
its territory? is. F. Call.
After the Vrcka Lynchers.
Governor Budd is not so popular in
Siskiyou county as ho used to be. Fol
lowing up his proclamation and $500 re
ward for evidence that will convict any
and all parties dcinc or abetting in the
lynching, he has two detectives in the
county working rtp the case for the grand
jury which convenes at Yreka Monday.
Besides that Attorney-General Fitzgerald
was at Etna last week incog, sticking
his noso in the case and he will be on
hand again when the grand jury con
venes next week to brace up the back
bone of the local prosecution. The
people of the county ore very much dis
turbed at this action, which is being
aided by 11. B. Gillis, a prominent citi
zen and lawyer of Yreka and a few-
others. The lynching was very 5pular
throughout Siskiyou county and the men
engaged in tho affair were some of its
most influential citizens and taxpayers,
men of resolution and force of character.
Their names are well known and if pros
ecution gets any one to 'squeal" and
turn states evidence there will bo an
other lynching before any one is ever
conictcd. Valley Record.
A Stone Industry.
Few people have a full concept iou oi
the extent of the building stone industry
in the United States. A report just is
sued by the geological survey shows
that the quarry value cf the stone pro
duced in 1694 was $37,377,S1G, of which
$33,000,0(10 was need for the construction
of buildings. Pennsylvania leads all of
the other states in this product, Ohio
coming next, and Vermont third. Over
three-fourths of the total product is in a
small portion of the area of the country,
from Maine to Illinois ; und the vast de
posits of all kinds of stone in the south
and far west have as yet been only
superficially worked.
A Hungry Tramp.
Tramps are becoming pretty lwld now
adays and parties to fortunate as to
have any thing left over from th e eve
ning meal should eco that their doors ond
windows are made fast before retiring or
they may And themselves Bhort at
breakfast. Last night a tramp entered
Cbas. Minkler's residence on Mill street
by the window route, sealed himself at
the table and began helping himself to
the edibles left thereon. The noiso he
made while eating aroused the girl who
screamed out that there was "a man in
the tiouse," and the "burglar" hurriedly
mado his escapo through tho window and
disappeared iu tho darkness.
The Jnry Hung.
At Looking Glass Thursday the ca.o
of Hoover e. Brock attracted consider
able local attention and called forth tho
servhes of a quarter dozen of Roscburg's
legal luminaries. Caldwell and Hamil
ton for the plaintiff and C. A. Sehlbrede
for the defendant, either so badgered,
bullyragged and browbeat the witnesses
that they wcro unablo to givo convincing
evidence to tho jury, or by their oloquent
and brilliant burets of oratory so bewil
dered and befogged thoso "good men and
true" that they could not find the ver
dict. The caso will come up again next

THREE NEW YORK LANDMARKS.
Trinity, St. Paul's nod Grace Church Defy
tlio Adranco or Ilnalneu lotereiU.
Three landmarks ou Broadway occu
py sites so valuablo that tlioir retention
confounds every calculation of real cs
tato speculators. They aro tho only thrco
churches on Broadway below Forty-second
street, and each has como to bo part
of tho popular distinction of that thor
oughfare. They nro Trinity, St. Paul's
and Grace. All thrco havo high claims
to architectural eminence, and all thrco
nro of oiy denomination tho Protestant
Episcopal.
Tho sito of Trinity church, on Broad
way at tho head of Wall street, is ap
proved olllcially at $4,000,000; that of
St. Paul's church, at Broadway and
Fulton street, at $1,750,000, and that of
Grace church, Broadway opposito Elev
enth street, at $350,000. Tho frontago
of Trinity church, including tho church
yard, is 400 feet, of St. Paul's church
107 feet and of Graco church 1C0 feet.
Tho gross valuation of theso tlirco
churches is $0,100,000, and as tho usual
rate of assessment on real citato is about
CO per cent tho actual market valuo of
theso tlirco Broadway plots is in excess
of $10,000,000. In European cities it is
no strango thing for public thorough
fares to bo dotted with venerable edi
fices erected for ecclesiastical, military
or governmental purposes, but in Now
York, where there is no material partner
ship between church and state, and
where, perhaps, moro utilitarian views
prevail than abroad, tho steady enhance
ment of real cstato values has been
such that few religious corporations
havo been strong enough or felt them
selves strong enough to withstand tho
temptation to solL On tho present sito of
Tiffany's, for instance, Broadway and
Fifteenth street, formerly a church
stood. Thcro was a chapel opposito tho
sito of tho old New York hotcL But
with tho advance of business interests
tho congregations reluctantly moved
away. Theso thrco landmarks named
havo stood their ground, and it seems
probable that they will continuo to do

St. Paul's church is tho oldest reli
gious edifice iu this city. It was built in
1704, aud it was tho church which
George Washington and his associates
attended immediately following tho in
auguration ceremonies in 17S9. Trinity
church is tho third of that namo on tho
present site, and was erected in 1840.
Graco church was erected in 1845, one
year beforo Trinity, and tho sito, at tho
head of Broadway whero it turns an
anglo at Tenth street, was carefully cho
tcu. All three buildings enjoy tho ad
vantage of being kept in excellent re
pair, and aro improved from time to
timo by tho liberal contributions of bene
factors. Thus is especially truo of Trin
ity and Graco church, which may al
most be said to improve year by year.
It is a peculiarity of theso thrco land
marks of Now York that thoso who at
tend them come, in nearly every case,
from sections of the city far np town,
so that they are, if such on expression
may bo used, tho thrco churches to be
reached by carriage. Very few persons
who attend cither Trinity or St. Paul's
reside in their vicinity, and tho number
of such parishioners decreases each year.
Graco church retains it3 high rank ar
chitecturally, notwithstanding tho num
ber of now church buildings in New
York, and it has tho additional distinc
tion of being popular for fashionablo
weddings. New York Sun.
SURPRISED THE OLD MAN.
Richard Thought lis Owed the Bank SI,
bat It Owed 111m S313JM.
Richard Roo deposited $703 in the
Bowery Savings bank between 1833 and
1849. Between 1935 and 1855 $753.80
was withdrawn. When tho last draft
was mado tho'depositor's book nnpearoa
to bo overdrawn $1. Thcro Wert) duo
Roo at that timb, however, dividends
amounting to $i0Q.6i, which had not
been entered in his passbook, and tho
bank really owed him a balance of
$90.01.
Tho balance went on accumulating
dividends until 1873, when it became a
dormant account and ceased to draw in
terest. Tho amount then duo Roo was
$343.25. Efforts wcro mado without
success to find him. Ho had becomo
very poor, was too old and f ecblo to go
to work again, and was given a homo
by his sons at Rutherford, N. J.
Roo always intended to repay tho $1
ho thought ho owed, but never dffl so.
President Townscnd of tho Bowery Sav
ings bank, in looking over tho books tho
other day, camo across Roe's account,
A now search was Instituted, and Roo
was found at Rutherford. Ho was told
to call at tho bank with his old account
books. Shortly afterward ho did so, ac
companied by his granddaughter, 17
years old.
"I supposo it's about tho dollar I owo
your bank that you want to eco mo,"
said tho old man, addressing Mr. Town
send. Ho was astonished when told tho
facts.
"Guess theso bank pooplo know
what's right," ho said to his grand
daughter. "1 never was much on 'rith
mctic." Ho pocketed tho $343. 25, shook hands
with tho bank officials and returned
