Buffalo, December Fourteen school-teachers of West Seneca, Buf falo's suburb, chafing under the charge that George W. Avery, one of the dis trict trustees, had kissed and hugged and played tug with them, held an In- llgnatlon meeting last evening. The Insatiable report was circulated by Oottlleb Welland. who attended the meeting, and did not deny the accusa tlon. He said he had reported It as a rumor. Commissioners Avery and Persons were present to calm the ruffled teach ers and persuade them that the story would better be treated with contempt. All the teachers have big brother and fathers and uncles and cousins by the score, and on one knows Just what would happen If they preached war. Some of the teachers are girls from Buffalo. Each of the 14 took (he floor In turn and delivered a speech that contained pure essence of bitter ness. One young widow was the most Indignant of all. She demanded the presence of the editor of the weekly paper that had printed the story, and he wasted no time In obeying the sum mons. All the teachers spoke to him with vigor and directness, and when all were through he was willing to do any thing. The widow demanded legul advice. Mr. Avery produced a lawyer, and he promised the teachers that something would be done before long. Dewey' Friend Die. Worcester, Masa., Dec. St. John W.

Work Done Much Faster Than a Few Year Ago. Washington. Dec. 26', Betwen the efficiency of hand labor and that of machine labor, the difference Is known generally to be very great But It was not until the United States bureau of labor Investigated the matter that the real difference was learned. The bureau's report shows clearly and precisely what the difference Is in many branches of manufacture and agriculture. Here are some of the comparisons made: To produce 100 bushels of barley It took 211.94 hours of labor 17 year ago: today, with the aid of machinery. It takes 9.04 hours. I To produce 160 bushels of oats It took 265 hours In 1830; by machinery It takes 28.39 hours. To drill six 2H-inch holes 1H feet deep In hard blue rock took 180 hours when only hand work was used; by machinery only 8 hours and 12 minutes are needed. , It used to take 200 horses to load 100 tons of Iron ore on cars when men shoveled It by hand; machinery loads the same amount In less than three hours. When hand work alone was used. nearly four weeks 240 hours were needed to transfer 200 tons of coal from canal boats to bins 400 feet away; now the work is done by machinery in Just 20 hours. Seventy years ago it took 200 hours to make 60 12-Inch pitchforks; now machinery makes them In 12.83 hours During the 60's hand work turned out buggy In 200.42 hours; machinery turns out a better carriage of the same style in 39.14 hours. Thirty-six thousand newspapers were printed and folded by hand In 216 hours; by machinery they are turned out nowadays In 1.08 hours. It used to take 281 hours when only hand labor was used to print 1000 sheets of lithographic art work In six colors. Machinery does the work In I hours and 40 minutes. One hundred thousand ems of type were set by hand In 209.60 hours; ma chines set the same amount In 4S.45 hours. Hand work will dress 160 square feet of granite In 243 hours; machinery will do It In 19 hours. In every other branch of work there is a similar saving of time by the use of machinery. And a good point about the whole matter Is that the number of persons working with machinery ls larger than the number of hand laborers used to be, and the wages are much higher, Subborn CURED BV FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR Obstinate, racking Cough that mate your bead ach. your throat and lung or and Inflamed, that rob you of sleep nntU your system become to ma down that you are in gTav danger of pneumonia or Consumption, are quickly cured by Foloy's Honey and Tar FOLEY'S ROXEYIND TAR oothe and heal the Inflamed air pas ages, allay the feverish conditions, topi th cough and prevent serioul results from a cold.
