chargoso." even a criminal nature were
preferred by the Gould Interest*. ThD#c
Inisresta were, however. In a hopeless
minority, as was eoon shown, and their
lighting, though vigorous aird persistant,
was to no purpose.
The meet!ng was called to order by
President Barber, Th?? first war of words/
started with theolectlon of thcchalrman
of tfee;meetluff. President Barber recognised
Mr. Baird. who nominated Attorney
Edwin Walker as chairman and
amid the "protests of E. V. McCarty, one
"of Oeorge Gould's attorney*, he was <J?velared
elected. The nomination .an?!
election of secretary iras made amid similar
protests.
U was /he evident Intention of those
In charge to override all opposition.
President Barber read his report. In
which he said: "It Is unfortunate that the
Diamond Match Company has for so
long a time been a public institution so
far as Its workings and operations are
concerned. Its earnings are known to
the world and excite competition of not
only capital, but the Inventive and
. working energy of the world With the
many acknowledged advantage* We feel
confident that the company ia in a promising
condition. There ha* been no time
in ths history of the company when Its
physical condition has been In such perfect
order. Notwithstanding this fact
the efforts of your management should
and dotlimes* BUI-O" eonunuea 10 lurther
perfect It* machim r.v and methods.
Notwithstanding the mishaps in the la*c
year it had been able to pay It* usual 10
per ceat cash dividend and will continue
to do so from its earnings."
The. statement was as follows: Assets.
SllMO.Mt; cart. $152,392: total. $12.ML\7?
Liabilities: Caphal atock. $11,000.600;

At the conclusion of the address Mr.
Ralrd moved that It be accepted and
approved, but Mr. McCarthy, after f??-vera!
futile attempts, succeeded in obtaining
recognition and demanded to know
what the figures In the assets. "William
H. and J. H. Moore. $798,767 17" meant.
President Barber refused t<? answer, and
Che question was finally answered by
Chairman Walker, who said that It represented
indebtedness to the company by
W. H. and J. H. Moore. McCarthy then
wanted to know whether the Moore* had
nof written to President Barber t>i obtain
the funds Of the Diamond Match
Company, to be used as margins for
speculation 1n the stock, and proceeded
to give, dates and figure*, but was peremptorily
shut oft by the cha-irman.
Then Mr. McCarthy said: "I want to
know whether the reason President Barber
declines to answer my Inquiry is because
he feara to Incriminate himself?"
The meeting was In an uproar in an instant
and amid cries of "order. President
Barber replied: "Your question is not
cjnly improper, but you yourself are impertinent."
President Barber then stated that the
books of the company were open to the
inspection of the stockholders.
Attorney W. E. Keys then to- ?k the lead
for the opposition, but met with no better
Nucce?s. and the motion to approve

Holland to Hfcintm Jtori Y?auU From
the Htm.
Chicago Chronicle: Plucky little Holland
is ubout to undertake the reclamation
of 787 square mlleu of land
now lying under the Zuyder Zee. A
dike Is to bo built from n point near
Holder, north of Amsterdam, to the
Island of Wlerlngen. From the east
end of this Island, which is ten miles
long, the dlk#? will extend eastward to
the mainland, connecting at a polm
Just south ?>f Workum. The basin thus
created will be drained by colossal
wind-mills, which will raise the water

reclaimed area. Top k?i1I and fertiliseera
are to b? brought from the* Dutch
colonies, and where tin* s?*a now flows
there will be gardens and farm?. dotted
with villages and towns and the
wealth-creating canals. The engineering
deUlls of this tremendous feat
have all been wrought out. and with
tin- expenditure $50,000,000 it i* believed
Holland will add $600.000,t?00 to
her natlortal wealth.
During the last eight hundred years
the Dutch have increased the area of
their kingdom from six hundred square
mllea to nearly 1X000 square miles, or
more than twenty times the original
area. This has been accomplished by
the patient building of dikes, until us
a nation Holland has become the recognized
matter of the sea. Karth has
been compelled to yield her most fruitful
treasures In large areas where
formerly there wail no earth. Unlike
th?* Kngllsh king, who commanded the
sea to stand back and then fled before
its power, the Dutch have made old
ocean do their bidding through the
centuries and have reared like coral
builders one of the garden spots of the
world out of a dreary waste of waters.
They are now preparing to cut off another
slice from the ocean bed that
will In future years support a million
or two of the most frugal. Industrious
and moral people on the face of the
earth.

examining boards teach select schools,
their pupils are generally favored. While
If the questions were uniform, and
emanate from the state superintendent,
such favoritism could not be shown. 1
do not understand why or how. the uniform
examinations would require a
larger force of instructors, more time or
more i-xpensv. It does not requqlre any
more time to be examined one time than

There are educational bills before the
legislature now, which 1 sincerely hope
will puss.
If about one-half our legislators were
teacher*, they would better understand
what we need. Too many lawyers and
not enough farmers and teachers find
their way t?> our legislative halls. What
does a city bred lawyer know about the
farmers' needs? Whattloes he know,
and in many cases, care for the educational
affair* of the country districts.?
Begging your pardon. Mr. Editor."for
taking so much space and thanking you
heartily for past favors, 1 am
