WASHINGTON. June 1. The recent act; -n of the War Department in dismissing ar.-i spending several cadets for mutinous ojri'Iuot 1ns created a situation said to r.avc bt'-u unprecedented in the history of the ..c-adcniy. Cadet Charles Telford was Fu.-I't.:i'!"d for u period of one year. Under crcLn.iry circumstances lie would have graduated in June, ii.s suspension h.is the tfi'.ot, however, of deferring his priliiti :i fur a year. His appointment i credited to the congressional district ot Utka. N. Y. In anticipation of a vacancy in that congressional district in June of r.'xt y -ar a young man named Jarvis has b. n s'-!trted as Telford's successor. Alth"Uh Jarvis would be eligible for the va(n:tf in Jura-. lf"C he will not be eligible In Ju;: 1 1 '. fr the reason that he will l.A-.c i')-std the age ümit in the interim. Ti- j'i.-.-1 n has. therefore, arisen as to wlatl.-r Jarvis shall lose his appointment in th- Military Academy on account of cnditions fur üh'ch he was not responsible in any way.

Point Itcached Where Parents Should Call a Halt. Washington Post. We learn, or rather we are told, that a new instrument has been invented an instrument of tremendous importance called "the temporal algometer" such at least is the title floating about in our exchanges. The idea involved is that the "temporal algometer" will serve a great moral and intellectual end by testing the sensibility
to pain of ichoo! children throughout the land. The pupils are to be pinched, squeezed and otherwise subjected to torture in order to ascertain their mental capacity. The theory is that extreme susceptibility in the matter of physical suffering is a clear proof of the brightness of the victim. Knov. ledge is imbibed through the senses then fore it can be ascertained in advance whether and to what extent the pupil will disclose brilliancy of mind and secure certificates of excellence. Stick a pin into h boy. and you can tell by his howls and v. riihir.gs just where he will stand at the end of his college term. Tinch a girl's leg and her screams will register her common'. one nt honors. Really, this is one of the very sweetest schemes we ever heard of. It is hardly necessary to say that the Post is alm'xt fanatical in Its admiration
of science. To those who recall our faithful and consistent service in the cause of human exaltation we need not review the assurances of our reverent devotion. Everybody knows how we hailed, long years ago, the appearance of a patent churn. Every reader will bear witness in the assertion that we hold in almost religious awe the ever-multiplying agencies of advancement turned out from the study and the workshop. We bow down before a model mouse trap, a perfect mangle, or a supernal corkscrew. Science delights while it bewilders and confuses us. But we draw a line somewhere, and it seems proper to draw it at the "temporal algometer." In the lirst place, wo are not quite sure that we know what an "algometer" is. In the next and much more Important place, we cannot see why it should be temporal. All we really know if it and even that comes to us in the shape of newspaper rumor is that it Is a mechanical device for inflicting pain on school children with a view to ascertaining their intellectual possibilities. And on that account alone we suspect, thougn we do not yet denounce It. To be profoundly confidential, however, we should say that in our opinion th parents of the school children ousht to load their guns without further delay. There has been too much nonsense In the public schools too much experimenting unformed minds by doetrinaries and theorists. The pupils have been shocked by the dissection of cats, birds and other small deer; they have been overloaded with stupid and useless tasks and their voung minds dwarfed by a multiplicity of "ologies." Parents have borne it with only an occasional shriek of agony, and will no doubt continue steadfast in their martyrdom unto the futile and distressing end. Let us hope so. Anything for a quiet life or death, as the case may be. But the "temporal algometer" makes a break in the line of rational endurance. It is time to get out guns! Doctors Psychic Influence. Dr. J. C. Culver, in Journal of American Medical Association. A legitimate practice of medicine takes cognizance of all psychic influences and turns them to account In a treatment of disease. The personal influence of a physlcian should always be firm, not vacillating, positive and never negative. These atfibutes tactfully administered are sedative and may be anesthetic and narcotic. They possess the therapeutic property of being ;ibic to allav irritability and excitement. The wise man who is a successful practitioner uses his personal influence as a 'timulant. sedative, anodyne, narcotic. methetic, and nervine; and does it systeriatleallv. as though it were as important a therapeutic measure as the giving of a ti.nic purgative, or opiate. It is this per
sonal influence mat hum-j .urn nd others small. All that is known of the ("tire materia medica. as well as other r?v'.urces in the art and science of medicine, are a wide open to the command of one I.hvsician as of another, and the differentiation between them is founded upon but two accomplishments; ability to diagnos r.atholoical conditons and a systematic t:e of personal influence in the treatment of diease. All other therapeutic aids ar but valuable adjuncts, not one of which is to be for one moment in the slightest degree deprecated for they are cof actors of the greatest importance. It is this systematic ue of th? personal influence of the physician thiA gives any foundation to Christian Science or faith curists. Llimlnate thH one powerful agent and there is nothing left of a visionary vagary Il phenuted American. Atlanta Journal.

IriVh-Americans, German-Americans or any other than-unqualified Americans. e see ro I objection to the habit of referring to e'tlzens of the United States by a term which indicates their racial origin.

NEW YORK, June 1. Henry F. Devens, secretary of the National Metal Trades Association, who is just back from Chicago, to-day gave out a statement which says that the council holds that the machinists, by declaring a general strike, have violated the agreement made a year ago, aud that, therefore, the employers are no longer bound by it. Then follows a declaration of principles adopted by the council. The declaration, in part, follows: "Since we (the members of the National Metal Trades Association), as employers, are responsible for the work turned out by
our workmen, we must, therefore, have full discretion to designate the men wc consider competent to do the work and to determine the conditions under which our works shall be prosecuted. While disavowing any intention to interfere with the proper functions of labor organizations, we will not admit of any interference with the management of our business. Disapproving absolutely of strikes and lockouts, the members of the association will not arbitrate any question with men on strike. Neither will this association countenance a lockout on any arbitratable question unless arbitration has failed." On the question of employment the statement says: "No discrimination will be made against any man because of his membership in any society or organization. The number of apprentices, helpers and handy men to be employed will be determined solely by the employer." On the question of methods and wages the statement declares that employers shall be free to employ their work people at wages mutually satisfactory. One paragraph adds: "Employes will be paid by the hourly rate, by premium system, by piecework or contract, as the employer sees fit. It is the privilege of the employe to leave our employ whenever he sees lit. and it is the privilege of the employer to discharge any workman he sees fit. The above principles being absolutely essential to the successful conduct of our business, they are not subject to arbitration. " Arbitration is recomnvnJcd in cases of disagreement in matters not covered by the declaration of principles. Members of the association who refuse to comply with the recommendation will be denied the support of the .association unless it approves its action. Hours and wages arc to be arranged bv the local associations. Mr. Devens adds that a copy of this statement will be sent to George II. Warner, business aent of the machinists, on Monday. He addVd: "This will close our relations with the International Association of Machinists. We arc not going to bother with them further." At the meeting of the executive board of District 15 of the National Association of Machinists to-night the ultimatum of the Manufacturers' Association of the Metal Trades was received, and the secretary was directed to reply that the workmen in district No. 1" would light the question at issue to a finish and were prepared to stay out all summer if necessary. It was reported that fully SO per cent, of the men cmployeu in the district are now at work
under the new arrangement or nine nours work and the old amount of pay, and that the prospect was that other shops would agree to the demands or. the men within two weeks' time. Most of those present left on the midnight train to attend the convention which will meet in Toledo next week.
they have quit and they will be paid off at once and their places filled. Some of the striking machinists at Chicago are already returning to work. Employes of five members of the Chicago Machinery Manufacturers' Association who refused to sign the agreement submitted by the union agreed to accept a slight increase in wages yesterday. The men disobeyed the orders of Business Agent Roderick and accepted concessions offered by their employers. The Iron Molders Union of North America, which has had an agreement for some years with the employers by which all strikes will be avoided for one year, announced yesterday that there will be no strike this year. This agreement, which begins every year on May 1, is understood to continue for another year unless either the employers or the employes give notlc3 thirty days before April 1 of their intention of a desire to change the wage rates. TPJLDE AND INDUSTRY. For the first time since 1S03 the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company has declared a dividend on its common stock. It Is a quarterly dividend of 1? per cent., payable July 13. The negotiations of the Vickers Sons' & Maxim Company, of England, for the Bethlehem Steel Company have been abandoned, and. according to one of the New York bankers interested, will never be resumed. " The Detroit Journal states, on the authority of a "local man interested in street railways." that the entire street railway system of Toledo will pass into the hands of the Everett Moore syndicate, of Cleveland, within sixty days. The Knoxville (Tenn.) Iron Company has purchased a site for a new rolling mill, the present quarters having grown too small lor the accommodation of the company. At a cost of about $ÖJ0.0Ö0 a new mill will be put up on the twenty-nve-acre site just purchased. All the suits in the Arbuckle-Woolson coffee litigation, at Toledo, have been dismissed without prejudice. There were two, one in the Common Pleas and one In the Circuit Court. These and those pending in the Supreme Court of Ohio are all included. "It means that a truce "has been declared," said Judge Dovle, counsel for the Woolsons, when asked why this action was taken. The Armenia Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburg has been merged in the Westchester Fire Insurance Company of New York. The new company will at once taka charge of the business, of the Armenia, which has been operating in Pennsylvania. Illinois. Ohio. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Colorado. It is said that this merger is the beginning of a movement to
consolidate all the small companies m me country into one large concern. A company with a capital of at least $3ooo,im) is being organizedto build another ship-building plant on the Delaware river. The promoters of the company claim that ?2.Ciy).oO-j has already been subscribed, and that they have optioned a plot of ground at Chester, where it is proposed to erect the plant. One of the leading factors in the new concern is State Senator W. C Sprout. of Delaware county, a son-in-law of the late John Roach, who represents the largest investors. MODEHMZIXG THE HOLY LAD.
HlK Parade at Cincinnati. CINCINNATI. June 1. A big parade of the striking machinists and other union labor organizations took place here tonight, over 15,X0 men being in line. The men were orderly throughout the line of march, which took up ail the principal thoroughfares of the city. The strike situation here Is unchanged. Only three or four of the smaller firms signed the scale this week. Over $H).00 in strike benefits was paid to the strikers today, union and nonunion men sharing alike. Married men reeeiv d ? '.. and unmarried men $4. They were informed they will receive these amounts weekly until the strike is settled.
Strike nt Dcpow Car Shops. BUFFALO. N. Y.. June 1. Four hundred and fifty men employed in the New York Central car shops at Depew. went out on strike to-day. Between 2'Q and 370 of them are machinists and the rest are machinists helpers. It was stated immediately after the men went out that they did so because the Central had refused to grant their demand for an Increase in v.agts so that they would receive the same for a nine-hour day as they formally received for a ten-hour day. The nine-hour day wa3 conceded by the company last March but no increase was made in the wages. General Labor .Notes. Two thousand employes of the paper ni'lls in Hoi yoke. Mass.. went on st-ik2 yesterday as ordered by Eagle Lodge of paper workers and the stationary firemen's unions. The Mlddlesboro iron furnaces, owned by the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Company, headqiiai ter-s at Hristo!. Ten., resumed operations Friday midnight after a year's idleness. Four hundred and fifty marbl" workers struck at Cincinnati yesterday because the employers refused to agree to the scale demanded, which had been presented with a request that it be agreed to by June 1. The strike in the Simmons foundry, at Kenosha. Wis., was settled yesterday ami one thousand men will return to work on Monday. Satisfactory wages were agreed upon pending the adoption of a new scale. The iron branch of the wage committee report to the Amalgamated Association of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers' convention was finally adopted at Milwaukee yesterday. The "sheet steel scale was also agreed upon. The Republic Iren and Steel Companyyesterday voluntarily advanced the wages of all the common laborers at its Brown Bunnell and Valley plants, in Youngstown. O., l'J cents a day. The advance affects SoO men and is effective at once. Juclge Kumler yesterdav enjoined the Metal Polishers' Union from interfering with the business cf the Dayton (O.) Manufacturing: Company. The court held picketing and boycotting as flagrant violations of law. The case has been bitterly contested for a year. Superintendent Keith, of the Le'.v.v.i Vallev Railroad Company, has appealed to Mayor Nichols, of Wilkestarre. Pa., for protection for the nonunion machinists whom the company has brought there. Superintendent Keith says the yard is lesieged by breaker bpys every evening end the nonunion men are stoned. The machinists, helpers, blacksmiths and boiler makers of the Cincinnati. Hamilton fc Dayton Railroad shops at Bellefontaine, O.. who petitioned about two weeks ago for an Increase In wages, yesterday received notice that an increase of 5 per cent, bad been granted. The employes of the road at Dayton. Hamilton and Cincinnati are included In the order. Owing to the friendly Interference of the State Board of Arbitration the threatened stri'te on the lines of the People's Street Railway, of Dayton. O.. did not take place yesterday. The boank. is endeavoring to bring about a peaceful adjustment of the differences between the company and its men. and the latter have agreed to await developments. The first general order issued to the striking machinists on the Southern Railroad was promulgated yesterday by Vice President and" General Manager Gannoo. It Is sn ultimatum and announces that if the strikers fail to report for duty at their respective shops at the regular hour on iionday morning next it will be considered.
Rallunys, Trolley tars and Telephones In the Valley of the Jordan. Washington Letter in New York Evening Post. Yankee ingenuity and commercial vigor
are doing wonderful things in the Holy
Land. Until a tew years ago it was saia that if one of the prophets had returned to the scenes of his earthly activities he would have had little difficulty in recognizing them, except for the change in the character of the population. The hills and valleys of old Jucha had otherwise taken little note of the ilight of the centuries. But our consuls write to the Department of State that times are changing even in Palestine and Syria. The railway from Joppa to Jerusalem, at first an experiment, has been put upon a. paying basis, and other lines which will connect it with
points of interest up and down the valley of the Jordan have been projected or are actually in course of building. In Jerusalem there are now electric lights, telephones, phonographs, sanitary plumbing, modern stores, houses built with "a. m. i.," and, in short, most of the comforts of civilized life. Trolley lines are talked of to connect Jerusalem with Bethany, Bethlehem, the Lake of Galilee, Samaria, Jericho. Nazareth and other places made familiar through Bible history. With the introduction of thvse insignia of modern activity, the Palestine ot the past will vanish. It is related that an American traveling
5 salesman recently went to Jerusalem and
Beirut, and in one day sold merchandise ot win up-to-date type to the amount of $3,S(X. Commission-houses for the handling ef American goods have been epe.ned in nearly very city and town of importance in Palesline and Syria, and in many instances they are conducted by wide-awake American "business men. In a single month this year one of th" houses Imported American leather to th" value of $Voo. Another has established a market for American Hour, and predicts that in a few years the people -of the Holy Land will be good consumers of this staple. Cheap American watches are in demand, and have been sold to scores of the natives, who regard them with increasing favor. More than Ui) phonographs were recently sent there, one-half going to Damascus and the rest to Jerusalem and near-by places. The best customers for talklngniachines, it is said, are the Moslems of Beirut, Jerusalem, and Damascus, who buy them for their harems. One commission house at Beirut has bought, according to G. Bie Ravndal. the American consul, a $:jr0 windmill from an Illinois firm, and will erect, it on the Bakaa plain. This firm Is confident that there is to be an important market for windmills in Palestine and Syria, and for irrigation machinery of all sorts. Rich foreigners are figuring to secure control of some of the once fertile valleys of tlve country, and should they succeed there will be an atttmpt to make them again a "land flowing with milk and honey." Th-se foreigners in most instances are Jews, wJio are leaders in the "Back to Jerusalem" movement which has been 1 reached so eloquently by Israel Zangwill and tthers. Speaking once more of windmills, a seveiueen-hinrse-power machine has been installed in the interior, west of the Jordan, for llour-grMiding purposes, and another large one, lught in Chicago, is just going up at Yafa. Even American beer has found its way into the country. One firm has sold to date 510 (tises of lorty-eight bottle each, and another ha recently received 150 cases direct from Milwaukee. The municipality of Beirut has added a $3.30) steam street roller to its piublic equipment, and this is the only stearj roller now in Turkey In Asia, although the way is opening for others. It would be a long story to tell of all the articles of American make which are now selling in the land of promise, but the latest, according to consular advices, are cotton fabrics, rope, shoes, clocks, paper, carriage leather, bicycles, coal, wire nails, paints. hareXvare, electrical novelties of all srrts. iron bars, steel beams, well-drilling machinery, garden tools, a. tine line of agricultural machinery, canned meat, cornmeal, oatmeal, mechanics' tools, etc. Wire nails to the value of almost $5.000 were sold in Syria last year, all coming tro.n this country. Thus Is anctent Syria giving place to modern Syria, and the work Is going forward with a will. Important commercial concessions ha.ve been secured from the Sultan, who appears to be- favorably disposed to the modernizing of this part of his dominions, and is watching the experiment with Interest. The Turkish authorities 'have themsclvets been buyers of American wares. Within the last year they have arranged for the sinking of a large number of wells along the historic pilgrimage route to Mecca, and are providing them with windmills. In this way it is believed that the hardships of the annual pilgrimage can be lessened, and the pilgrims kept In reasonably good health. The sickness of former years, it is asserted, has been almost entirely due to the impure water along the route. Ill Confession. Chicago Tribune. The evening was wearing on. Most of the guests had gathered about the piano, where a soulful young woman with a large blonde pompadour was warbiin something at the ceiling. "Mabel." said Harry Harkalong. in ' a whisper, to the pretty daughter of the hostesi, "I have a confession to make to you." She had known him from his boyhood, p.nd people had sometimes said but she had never given him a worri of encouragement, although, of course Still, her heart beat high, as she led the v.av to a deep bay window. "What is it. Harry?" "Mabel, I have lost a suspender button, and there is no or.e else htie I can talk to about it. Will you ler.d me a pin?" Mayor Togrsart Interpreted. San Francisco Chronicle.

DR. AMEHT IS ANGRY.
reels Like Snins; Mnrk Tvrnln and Im "After AVelib C. llnye. DETROIT. Mich., June 1. The News this evening publishes an interview with the Rev. Dr. W. S. Ament. one of the American board of missionaries in China, which was obtained by J. Martin Miller, former war correspondent in China, at Dr. Ament's home in Owosso, Mich. Mr. Miller says that Dr. Ament denied that the. missionaries lootea in China and said: "The missionaries have been slandered for twenty vears to my knowledge. There is no use in denying these lies, but nevertheless I am fighting the slanderers with all my strength and am in the right trim for It. Furthermore, we have a man who will put up the money to tight the people who persist In these false reports to the end. and that is John Wanamaker. of Philadelphia and New York. He is a Presbyterian, and to my knowledge has offered money for this purpose. "I feel very much like bringing an action against Mark Twain. Webb C. Hayes, son of the ex-President, is another man I am after. I am going to Fremont, O.. to ftni him." mmmmmmmmmmammmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmmmmmmt Where SvrearluK Comet lu Handy. Baltimore Sun! Recently the Rev. Dr. RainsfoTd, rector of a fashionable New York church, delivered a public address In which he characterized certain published statements about the x missionaries as ' rot." Since
thinking the matter over Dr. Rainsford has conduced that hl remark was of too fervid a character to be permitted to stand. In a brief letter printed in the New York Times yesterday ne states that "whil laboring under strong feeling" he spoke "unadvi?tdly with his lips." for which he expresses deep regret. Dr. Ralnsford is to be commended for the frank and manly way In which lie admits his Indiscretion. Ministers, being o:uy numan, must often feel the need of an expletive to work off surplus emotion. What is a man to do, for. instance, when he steps on the business end of a tack or slams the door on his hngers? Even a saint might be pardoned unoer such circumstances for "speaking unadvisedly with his lips" and trusting to the recording angel to be a. little hard of hearing. CUU'CRMXG SXCAK THIEVES.
The Dest ot the Gentry Arc: Extremely Hard to Detect. New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Speaking of big gatherings." said an old detective, "reminds me of the ingeniouness of thieves in robbing persons on occasions of this sort. One of the most noted thieves I ever came in contact with told me, after he had given up his calling on account of age and ill health, that it was much easier to break Into a man's pocket In a big crowd than it was to break into a house with nobody at home. But the cleverness displayed In getting the booty Is nothing when compared with their methods cf getting away with it and covering up all traces of the crime. I remember a
curious case that came within my experience. It was several years a;o. when the late Benjamin Harrison was President of the United States. He was making a tour at the time, and the police authorities had ben worried consid rab'y on account of a shrewd lot of fellows. i. dently of a high class, who had been ful-h-wing'the Presldfnt from ore city to another. Thousands of dollars and much jewelry had been picked up by the crooks, and the police had been unable to pet line cn them. Detectives from all over the South concentrated in one of the larger cities with the hope ft corralir.g th nimble-fingered fellows wh had betn reaping such a rich harvest. This fact did not deter the thieves at all. It seems to have aggravated the situation. Heavier losses were reported than at any ether place. Not a 6ingle arrest was made during t!i day. I called at the otflce of the chief of police next morning to bid him good-bye, ar.d while I was there a gentleman rushed in with a big bundle In his hand. 'What can I do for you. doctor?' the chief askc 1 politely, rising from his chair. 'Just look at this bundle. the doctor replied, placing the package on the chief's desk. The chief opened the package, and was utterly amazed to find probably two dozen empty rocketbooks of every size, kind ar.1 cobr. "Where on earth did you get them?' ajke-1 the chief. l got them out of my ovcrcoit pockets.' the doctor answered. The chief Uoked at me and winked. 'I see.' he pal" o the doctor, 'you were down town to meet President Harrison yesterday.' The doctor a preacher of considerable note I afterward learned had been In the Jam. and the pickpocket, apparently acting in concert in the matter, had used the preacher overcoat xockels aa a sort of depository tor the purses they had pilfered and rlned..
