Orb, Teacher. A Cuban Enters W.ftJ. Francisco Diaz, a Cuban, has matri culated as a student in the preparatory department of Washington and Jefferson college. Young Diaz is about 15 years of age and has become a student in the junior class at the academy. His appearance in Washington excited considerable comment among the college men and others who have seen the boy at school, says the Observer, and he is an object of more or less curiosity.

Diaz is a native of Cuba where his pa rents are both living. The boy's father is said to have been a general in the Cuban army during the late insurrection on the island and served his country well. The young student is not a native of Havana however, but comes from a smaller town in the interior of the island. Soon after the close of the Spanish war he expressed the desire to go to the United States and take a complete course in an American college. At his request his father decided to send him to this country and allow him to take a college or university course.

He did not leave however, for some time, but applied himself to the study of the Ensrlish language. Later he came to the United States, arriving1 at New York last spring. He was left in charge of a prominent Cuban, a friend of his father who was to provide for his education. Diaz first entered a preparatory school in New York City and pursued his studies there for several months. The manner in which he came to enter Washington and Jefferson is somewhat peculiar and is said to be due to the influence of a former student and alumnus of institution.

While ia New York he became acquainted with a Pittsburg man who was in the national metropolis and the two became fast friends. The Pittsburg man. loyal to his alma mater, tirged the bov to come to Washington and enter Washington and Jefferson college. After some persuasion, the boy was induced to come liere and matriculate He arrived in Washington the first of the week aud was immediately enrolled as a student in the preparatory department. Diaz is dark featured and has the characteristic appearance of the Spaniard or Cuban.

He has not yet fully mastered the English language, but is a hard student and gives indications of speedily adopting American ways and methods. Diaz is said to be unusually bright with an inquiring turn of mind. Already he is popular among his class mates, and intends to complete the college course here. Want Six More Towboats. The fact that the river coal combine the last two rises has failed to send South more than half the coal it had loaded has given rise to a report that the comnany intends either buying or building five or six more towboats.

It was said at the office of the combine yesterday that such a scheme has been suggested, that it has not come up for official consideration yet. That more boats could be used to advantage under existing conditions is acknowledged by the river coal nen, but they say that ordinarily they are not so heavily stocked up with loaded coal craft as at present. There are only about enough pilots here to handle the boats now running, which would be a serious drawback to any material increase in the number of steamers. Florida Fast Mail.

Property. Representative W. W. of the Fifth district, Allegheny county, will introduce in the General Assembly a bill to exempt from State, county and city taxes all property belonging to posts of the Grand Army of the Republic. The measure was suggested by Lieut.

E. R. Geary Post 236, which owns property valued at 87,000, and on which taxes of about $60 a year are paid. Representative Nisbet's idea is to put G. A.

R. posts in the same position as churches and educational institutions, There are about 600 G. A. R. posts in the State, 11 of which own property.

The American Spirit. Edmond de Xevers, a French Canadian student, has written a book entitled "L'Amc Americalne" American in which are advanced some exceedingly interesting theories as to our national characteristics and tendencies.

He finds from the immigration statistics that the Irish race has con-ributed to our population greater numbers than any other save the German, and lie points out that, judged by its prominence in public affairs, this Irish element surpasses any other in solidarity and influence. M. de Nevers traces to this Irish influence certain habits of thought regarded as peculiar ly American. He declares that not un til after the great Irish" immigration did American humor, for example, take that national cast which differentiates it from British humor. He believes that the American people, after start ing with Anglo-Saxon traits, are grad uaily being transformed into a dis tinctly Celtic type.

Ferdinand Brunetiere, the famous Freucli critic, has based upon M. de Xevers' book an elaborate essay, in which he seeks to define "the American spirit," which, he holds, is largely of Anglo-Saxon inheritance, but is not so much racial as institutional, and Insists that the term "Anglo-Saxon" is a misleading designation of the Amei-ican people as now constituted. He sees in the United States the triumph of institutions over races. As Latin Institutions fused Gauls, Franks and Normans into a compact French nationality, he says, so Irish, German, Slav and Latin, all yielding to tho American spirit, have been fused by Anglo-Saxon institutions into an American nationality. However we may regard M.

Brune-tiere's theories, no American can find fault with his definition of Americanism, which he finds to consist in a practical ideal of democracy in an insistence upon legal and political equality which differs from the doctrinaire equality of French democracy no less than it differs from the persistent aristocracy of British ideals. In its preference for individual initiative and its care for individual rights M. Brunetiere finds that the American spirit differs from French democracy, which tends to sacrifice the individual to the state or the family and In its zeal for equality often destroys liberty. This spirit, M. Brunetiere holds, is the solvent of inpouring races and promises the eventual triumph of American nationality over all its competitors.

All this is interesting and gratifying. The essential thing, however, is that the American spirit shall be, and through passing generations, robust, progressive and righteous. The marvels of the century. Just closed have been so great that the world is willing to listen respectfully to almost any proposition as to possible developments of the present century, though it can hardly take seriously the suggestion of Dr. H.

P. Pratt, the Chicago ray specialist, who insists that within a few years it will be possible after reducing coal to a gaseous form to send it through the air on an electric Circuit, to be reduced at the place of destination to a solid and to be sold as coal with all the original qualities the product dug from the mines. This is on a par with the assertion of a northwestern locomotive engineer who declared that during a cold snap the smoke from the engine was frozen into solid chunks of coal and falling back into the tender was turned over and over again. Married. Thirty-one Yean.

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Daugherty celebrated on Saturday last their thirty-first anniversary of married life, at their home in Rostraver township. Their union was blessed with eight Children, seven of whom are living and were present on this joyous occasion. Those present were: Joseph C.
