PRICES GENERALLY WELL MAINTAINED Present Indications Are that Om Jobbers Will Break All Previous Records Before Fall Tra: Comes to an Ki Activity characterizes the business situ- ation of this city in practically all depari- ments. The cool weather of the last few days has reminded people In a very forcible manner that winter is close at hand, and as a result all fall and winter goods have been moving out at a rapid rate. Even more buyers were in the olty last week than the week before, and the total volume of business was the greatest of any week since fall trade opened. This coming week, though, 1s predicted to be still better, and as a result jobbers are well satisfied with the way business is going. There is no longer any doubt but what the predictions made several months ago that fall trade this year would break all previous records will come true, and in fact it looks now as though the Increase over last season would be much greater than expected. The markets remain in_a good, heaithy condition and prices are vers firm on the great bulk of the goods sold out of Omaha. There ace, of course, a few lines that oc- casionally ‘show some temporary weakness, but those who are In a position to know say that so long as the consuming demand from both abroad and at home continues market an There was no particular change in_vegs tables and the price at which the different lines are selling will be found In another “The Fecelpts ot b oges and poul e Fecelpts of butter, and_poultry were rather light last week and, owing to the demand being of liberal proportions, prices have firmed up all around. Musical Now Is the time when pupils will be looking for teachers in the various lines of work in music. It may not, therefore, be amiss for a critic to draw the attention of the neophytes to the things to be de- sired of their to-be teachers. First of all, let it be understood that no matter which teacher is chosen, there will be impertinent but well-meaning friends who will say that you ought to have chosen another teacher. 1 am now writing, however, for those people who have judgment enough to in- vestigate thoroughly the claims of several teachers before deciding upon one; pupils who are looking for results in an artistic way. There are many things to be considered in the selection of a teacher. The first question to be acked is, What has he done? Be careful in the choice. Let mo glim- mering advertising or baseless promises of future financlal gain sway you. If you do you will be ome of the disappointed ones. Look for results. Ask for proof. There are many teachers whose ‘“‘prom- ising” faculties should win them distinction as heavy as at the present time there is no reason for expecting values (6 seek a lower level. Canned Goods Rather Nerv ‘Wholesale grocers report trade as ki ing up in_very satisfactory manner, and in fact the volume of business is exception- ally heavy. The market has fluctuated to some extent during the week, but as a general thing prices may be quoted firm. The canned goods market has been in a very nervous condition, particularly with reference to corn and tomatoes. The cold weather has threatened to stop the pack of both these lines, as with a killing frost both would necessarily stop. As a result many of the western corn packers withdrawn_entirely from the market, and such as still offer are asking from 23c to bc er dozen more than they did a week 0 ‘'or what goods they have on hand. In the tomato packing sections the situation is very much the same and the packers are only offering as they accumulate a little stock ahead of their sales. They will take absolutely no chances in the face of the discouraging situation. It is also learned that many dealers in the east are looking to the west for both corn and tomatoes and as soon as that became apparent pack- ers I:)P.Ifl to ask more money for thefr stock. In dried frults the market on imported currants has been a little easy, but it is thought that the bottom has now been reached. In fact, with an active tra which naturally would come within the Next two or (hreo weeks, higher prices are predicted. The members of the Call- fornia Raisin Growers assoclation have got- ten together in good shape, and it Is thought that they will control the entire output this year. Extremely high prices are not being predicted, but still it s ex- ected that the prices will rule higher thai { there was an open market. The proba- bility is that the opening prices will be about the same as they were & year 0. There is not now a heavy demand for Call- fornia dried fruits of any kind, and as a result the market is qufet with but few heavy transactions. Evaporated apples, however, aie in good demand ai supplies are commg forward in better shape and of better quality. There have not been many changes in farinaceous goods, but the rice market has strengthened a little owing to the fact that more conservative estimates have been made on the new crop. Men who are closely in touch with the situation put the crop at 2,275,000 bags, instead of 3,500,000 to 0b00 Dags, as estimated eariy in the season The sugar market is in practically the same position it was a week ago so far as refined grades are concerned. Raws, however, are a little firmer, both in New York and London. The demand is very heavy for even this time of the year and it looks now as though It would "continue g for the next two or three weeks at east. The cheese market has shown but little change, though the week closed strong and active at the last advance. The de- mand s very heavy, all offerings being n. a little easler owing to the light demand. On September 15 an advance of lc will be made on all Continental brands of both plug and smoking tobaccos. The price will then be the same as it was before the government reduced the revenue tax 3.6 cents. Syrups are selling at about the same prices they were a week ago and the de- mand continues very satisfactory. It is being freely predicted that the next change in the soap market will be in the direction of ar advance. That is owing to the scarcity of fats all over the country, The coffee market continues very strong and a good deal of speculative buying is reported in New York.. The uncerta nty regarding the amount of damage done in Brazil by frosts s the cause for the ac- tivity. Tn case the damage Is serious job- bers say a sharp advance will take place. The fish market Is very strong and herring has advanced materially since the opening prices. Still higher prices are redicted, though, for, while the catch has n very large, 'the depleted condition of stocks, both in this country and abroad, is causing a demand for all the stock being offertd. Mackerel s alsa higher, owi to the fact that nd small fish are bein taken. Present prices on codfish are con- sidered very low for this time of the year and it would cause no surprise if the market should advance materially in the near future. Some Advances in Cottom Goods. Local dry goods jobbers had a and satisfactory business last week. house trade in the aggre largest of any week 80 far this season and the prospects are very flattering for another busy week. Traveling men have been meeting with good success on the :‘n‘;’:hlndl lhey‘ ll-y l‘ Tm(; e hunervdl of ants yet to visit market w] will place very \iberal orde . ers state that there man; u. lar staple lines that are diMcult to” npo . The manufacturers of most cloth: arments of all descriptions are now ng on spring lines, consequently man; desirable things have been withdrawn from the market for the present season. The market for cotton goods is stronger than it has been for the last thirty days and medium grades of both bleached and brown cottons have advanced ¥@%c. There Jary Thelr are no quotable changes on' speculative brands to name at this time, although looked for. are making spring _and higher prices re maha jobbers extensive pr samples of wash fabrics and specialties in_furnishings have alrcady been shown. The outlook for an enormous spring trade is considered very encouraging. The only change in the hardware mar- ket of any 1mportance is a decline on nails amopnting to 6c per keg. The reason for this change s not verv apparent and job- bers are inclined to think that it is stmply a readjustment and say that It has no bearing on the general situation, for the market on all that class of goods is in 0od, healthy condition and vrices firm. ther lines are quoted the same as they were a week a All kinds of £oods are now moving out at a very rapid rate and with con. tinued cool weather jobbers say they will have all the business they can handle. The demand extends to all classes of sea- sonable g0ods, Leather Goods Active. The demand for leather goods continues of very satisfactory proportions. but there 18 no special feature to the trade. A good many merchants are arriving on the mar- ket and say that fall trade is opening up in very satisfactory manner. Owing to the fact that low shoes were worn so gen- erally this last season, the cool weather makes fall trade start in unusually ea. It takes but a few cold mornings to make low shoes very uncomfortable and r taflers think they are going to do & rush- ing business from this time on. ubber goods are also selling to good advantage and especially is that true of rubber clothing. Jobbers say they never wold as much clothing at this time of the year as they have for the last month and with anything like seasonable weather from this time on they expect an active demand for both foot wear and clothing. Fruit and Produce. The demand for frults was very liberal again last week and, in fact, was never better. Pears, peaches and plums all sold at & rapld rafe. Utah, Colorado and Call- fornia contributed the bulk of the stock and it arrived in good condition, The supply of home ETOWN grapes Is practically exhausted, but eastern stock ls Bow on the market and s quoted at ¢ in political flelds. Shun them! Be suspicious of the teacher who will guarantee you a salaried church position or hold out other bait. “Good wine needs no bush.” A good teacher is his own recommendation. ‘Then one should choose a teacher who i a constant and consistent champlon of the higher and refined music and an un- compromising foe of that which s vulgar and common. One does not go to college to learn vulgar or common things, but to assimilate the higher thoughts of the world’'s greatest educators. The teacher who is not afraid to stand by the best and highest, is & good teacher to intrust your education to. Remember also, that a loud voice does not indicate a good style in singing any more than loud clothing or loud manners indicate good taste in dress or good breed- ing. It is also safe to avoid the teacher who sees no good points in any other teacher. Omaha, I regret to say, has its goodly rep- resentatives of that cult which believes in maintaining the doctrine of refusing to honor prophets of their own country. They will denounce teachers, with a viclous in- temperance of language, whom they do not know personally and of whose work they know nothing. Now that is bad enough. But for teachers to indulge in that form of argument is unpardonable. Have you ever thought of how criticism would change If every eritic were com- pelled to give his reasons for praise and blame alike. Yet, that alone is criticism. It is refreshing to read some of the “crit- fques’” written by the Buropean critics. It is, however, hard to criticise in a place where you know & great many of your readers. But this is a side-step. What T wished to impress was that musiclans can see good points In each other if they are mot wil- fully blind, and, 1 am sure, a prospective pupil will gain a better impression of a teacher who does not damounce all others than one who does so. I had the pleasure of meeting the tal- ented young Signor Rivela last week at one of the concerts, and I had a very enjoyable conversation with him through the medium of my esteemed friend Rev. Father Col- anerl. Rivela s a wonderful worker. He arranges everything that is played by the band; he has a polished manner, and he is innately modest of his ability. He ls not as sensitive of criticism as i3 his manager. He laughed heartily when Father Colaneri translated for him an incident which I had heard of, to the effoct that Mr. B— went to Rivela after one of the concerts and congratulated him, but began to criticise the tempo, explaining the reasons of his eritictsm, while the sigmor, whose knowl- edge of English is decidedly limited, smiled and bowed effusively, saying all the while, “Thank you! thank you! Thank you.” Signor Rivela does not believe that his band is of divine origin or that he is astonishing the ignorant Americans. He is a musiclanly gentleman or a gentlemanly musician just Iike our own bandsmasters who are all do- ing the best they can. As to the Itallan style of band work, I am not prepared to express an opinfon, although The Bee has been requested to. I purpose, however, next Sunday to take a dispassionate view of the entire festival, after the band has gone, and after the hysteria (on both sides, for and against the band) has cooled down. In the meantime let's “listen to the band.” Miss Kellogg will sail September 6th for Glasgow and expects to study in Dresde The Masonic quartet, at present singing here with the band, bails from Minneapolls and one of its members s Will Marshall, organist at All Saints. Dr. Beattens has organized a “sight-read- ing” class for singers and players alike. This will be of great advantage to all stu- dents of music, for the doctor has an especial gift along theoretical and gram- matical lines in music and his vaet ex- perience will prove invaluable in this new departure of his. Miss Luella Allen b York. returned from New Miss Ella Ethel Free has resumed work. The choir of the First Christian church will present a very interesting musical pro- gram tonight, Miss Loulse Shaddock play- ing the Romance of the Evening Star (Tannhauser) as a viola solo, Mr. Picker- ing singing “Save Me O God,” by Randeg- ger, and the solo in Shelley’s “Savior When Night Involved.” The orchestra will play an “Intermezzo andthe choir will give several anthems.

CHANCELLOR ANDREWS' ILLUSTRATION Variation In the Percentage of Illit- erates in & Deecade—Uniqu: School Celebration in New Orleans—Notes, 1. Benjamin Andrews, chancellor of the University of Nebraska, has an interest- Ing article in the September issue of Su cess entitled “The Passing of Gamaliel.” “Gamaliel” was the old name for the school teacher who lived in the days of Tom Brown, who, exists no longer. that has come down through ages, Mr. An- drews eays “Teaching of the special type furnished by Gamaliel has ceased to be much in de- mand. However circumscribed Gamaliel's information might be, he was ueually a very competent expositor of his subject as he understood it. Mr. Andrews declares, . lucisive and stiou. much of system and emphasized the logical elements of knowledge. In these particu- lars teaching has deteriorated. Too little attention is paid to the development of logical mentality or to the togical aspects of mental product. But the cause for the passing of Gamaliel, which is more to be deplored than any other, is the wide re- miesion of effort to build character in stu- dents, whether by precept or by insistence on specially choice character in teachers. The spirit of eclence 1s objective. It tends to remand mere personality to a second place, not to exait it. It is well that some objectivity has found its way into teaching. This is one reason why the teaching of today is, on the whole, better than that of fifty years ago. But objectivity in teach- ing has gone too far. It is due to its en- trance in force into our colleges that the impartation of instruction has of late years become mostwise such a tame af- fair. There Is teaching which simply in- forms and there is teaching which creates. The one kind concelves the pupil as a re- ceptacle, and its motto is, ‘Fill him up.’ The other kind regards the pupil as a ra- tional being, and its motto is, ‘Build him up.' Francis Wayland, in his best days, represented the inetruction of power. Now the instruction of mere impartation is in vogue and bids falr to sweep the fleld. There s not enough drill in the class room, not enough of resoluts grapple be- tween the teacher's and learner's mind. The crib is laid with food, but little effort 18 put forth to render this appetizing or lite-giving, still less to impart to the eater voracity or assimlilating power. Very many teachers of high standing. nowadays, quite repudiate the function of making men and are anxious solely how they may be true to the subjects which they teach. They will compass sea and land to create a course of lectures, a book, or a system, but do nothing toward the infinitely more precious task of perfecting the human be- ings who face them each day in class.” Percentage of Iliterntes. The last report on population of the twelfth census, the Boston Herald, contatns an interesting statement of the changes that have occurred during the last two decades in the illiteracy of the in- babitants of this country. In 1880, of the aggregate population of ten years of age or over, 17 per cent were claased as flliterates; in the census of 1890 the percentage of il- lterates was 13.3 per cent, which, in the census of 1900, had sunk to 10.7 per cent This indlcates a steady decline in that class of our people who are entirely without education. This decline is most marked in the colored race. Thus, in 1880, there were 4,601,207 colored persons, male and female, living In the United States, of 10 years of age and over, and of this number 3,220,878 could neither read nor write, thus giving a proportion of illiterates of 70 per cent But in 1890 the flliterates of negro descent bad fallen to 57.1 per cent, and by the census of 1900 It was shown that a still turther decline had taken place and that only 44.5 per cent can now be thus classified. The number of flliterates among our for- elgn white population appears to remain about constant. In those of this class over 10 years of age there were 12 per cent of flliterates in 1880, 13.1 per cent in 1890, and 12.9 per cent in 1900. On the other hand, among the nativé whites this lmitation upon intelligence seems to be slowly ng away. Of the native white population of over 10 years of age, it was found in 1880 that 8.7 per cent were illiterate. This num- ber was reduced in 1890 to 6.2 per cent, and still further reduced in 1900 to 4.6 per cent. The greatest galn in this last respect seems to have been made in the southern for example, in Georgla, in cent of the native white population of 10 years of age and over could peither read nor write, but in 1900 this proportion had been reduced to 119 per cent, and the reduction holds true fn pearly all of the gulf states. In Georgia, in 1880, only 18.4 per cent of the colored popula- tion above 10 years of age could read or write, but now this proportion has Increased to 47.7 per cent. We have glven this simply as an lllustration of the way iu which & gradusl and highly satisfactory change ie taking place among our people. Education is mot everything; im fact, a thoroughly educated man may be an entirely gisreput- able character; but in @ free country, where the government depends oo the will of the majority, it is essential that intelligence rather than ignorance should control public Writing of the change Not seldom his thinking He wade nth and Harney Str policy, and unless citizens can read and write It is hardly possible to have thia necessary result secured. New Orleans School Hollday. “All that 1 ask in return s that the lit< tle children of New Orleans may come onca a year and strew my grave with flowers.” | This closing clause of the will of Johm | MeDonogh In which he bequeathed thou« | sands of dollars for public education im New Orleans, witnessed again its living testimony recently, mot, indeed in the ex- |act way that the great philanthropist spee- ified, relatea the New Orleans Picayune, |but fn a far more beautiful and touching one, in the decoration of the splendid monu- ment that the children of New Orleang erected to the memory of their benefacto One day has been set aside as “Founder day” in the public schools, and *‘Founde: day” means John McDonogh's day, for ta him more than all others are the publio school children of New Orleans indebted for the magnificent opportunities that they enjoy. The handsome monument which |stands in Lafayette square was the Mecca for hundreds of them during the early hours. Their visit was like that which | would be paid to the grave or the monument of an idolized hero. They came from all parts of the city, white and black, in the street cars, on foot and in hired vehicles, bringing their offerings of flowers to lay upon the monument, which all the year around is aglow with blooming plants. Fach |school sent its delegation, and each child who came was burdened with flowers. Roses, | popples, sweet peas, carnations, larkspurs lilies, buttercups, oleanders, all the sweetest blossoms of the season laid down thelr lives |at the base of McDonogh's statue, a beautiful and fragrant offering from the |children he had loved to the memory of |the man who bequeathed his fortune to unborn generations. It Isn’t often the fate of a benefactor to be loved and honored by those whom he (has served, but McDonogh has been ome of these rare exceptions. Every child who has eaten of the bread of knowledge pro- vided by McDonogh has been one of thes plctures and his busts stand in every school in the city. The story of his life and his rules of conduct accompany the study of the alphabet, and every year an entire school day Is sacrificed that his name may be additionally honored. Joyous exercises, songs, recitations, compositions upon Me- Donogh go hand in hand with the decora< tion of his bust In each public school, while the public ceremony in Lafayetts square unites them a As s usual on this day the flowers on {the monument had been woven Into hand- some designs. The entire mound was buried beneath the quantity of loose flowers which were brought and the wreaths, bas- kets, a barp an anchor and a pililow were arranged tastily on or about the figures themselves. A committee of teachers from the schools and young boys from the Boys' High school recelved the flowers as they were brought and helped to place them artistically. When the decoration was complete the thr figures on the monument, the bust of Mc- Donogh himself, and the models of the two children, Edward Bienvienu and Lucle Tou~ jan, Were entirely concealed by the wreaths of gorgeous flowers. There was a little ceremony at the monument when the pupils of the Franklin school came with their of- terings, 430 strong. Thoy carried their ban- - ner with them and as they deposited the flowers' on the mound they eang as they marched the ode to McDonogh as well as “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” and the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Edueational Notes, The efforts belng made in Japan to raise the educational standards, particularly * are regarded by General Voodford, recently returned from that country, as the most hopeful sign of progress Thanks to the gift of $80,000 recently made by Dean Sage to Cornell university Btimson hali, which has been in course of erection * for two years, will soon be completed.
