Methods of Teaching Scientific Ternperunee mid 1IkIm In the luli lie School Denounced. CHICAGO, Jan. 1. Scientific temperance Instruction, as taught in the public schools from the text-books now in use, together with anti-vivUection, anti-vaccination and Christian sJer.ce, were denounced by Prof. William T. Sedgwick, president of the American Association of Naturalists at a banquet to-night given by members of the scientific societies now in session at the University of Chicago. "It is a notorious and disgraceful fact," f aid Prof. Sedgwick, "that, apparently with n. view to pleasing a elf-censtituted oligarchy, ?ome writers have even made alcoholic instruction the beginning, the midtile and the end of their text-books. Of Fuch books it may be truly said that they have no permanency of their own and with difficulty would be preserved in school." President Sedgwick's address was on "The Modern Subjection of Science and Education to Propaganda." "Scientific temperance instruction," he said, "has grown to such proportions and has gained such power as to dominate almost all instruction in elementary physiology and hygiene In America. It is riht, of course, that pupils should be taught the danger of alcohol and narcotics, but teachers often Ko too far and it even appears that all Instruction in physiology and hygeine in public tchools has passed to a great and unjustifiable extent into the hinds und under the subjection of the temperance propaganda." President Sedgwick believes that there should be little or no state regulation as to what shall appear in text-books. "Scarcely had science and education." he said, "freed themselves from the church, when they began to -be threatened by subjection to the State. While it is righi the youth should be taught the dangers of alcohol, 1 believe that it is odious and unreasonable that the exact amount of such teaching should be prescribed by law; that the method of teaching by text-books and the pace devoted to it in the text-book should be legally regulated by law. but especially that the kind of text-books used should be largely determined by self-constituted and unofficial oligarchy leaders of a propaganda which is neither educational nor scientific." The effects of the peculiar laws, he said, had been to create a peculiar class of textbooks, some of which were prepared by competent writers, but mot are inferior and some are distinctly bad. "No wise educator." he continued, "who has given any attention to the subject, tan deny that the influence of this powerful propaganda has been in most respects injurious to the proper teaching of physiology and hygiene In th lower schools. Teachers, principals and superintendents, and even school committees are seldom able to speak with perfect frankness on the subject from fear of Influence. In my opinion, it is time for a body of aeientl:!c men like the American Society of Naturalists and the American Association for the Advancement of Science to put on record their opinion that the subjugation under which science and education are to-day suffering from the temperance propaganda has become intolerable."

TAXATION AND SALARIES D IVO II CK LAWS AM) IHMSHMKM OF AYAHCIIISTS ALSO DISCUSSED. Mnryliinel Hepuliliennn to He On ted hy (äoriiiiinlteM (irent nntl (ienerul Court of Massachusetts. ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 1. The General Assembly convened in annual session today. S. Fred Nixon was re-elected speaker of the House and the other Republican nominees of the House, as well as those of the Senate, were elected. The annual message, of Governor Odell was delivered to the Legislature. It devotes considerable space to a discussion particularly applicable to New York city. In one division of the message the Governor observes that "the almost total abolition of State taxes will bring home to the taxpayer the fact that his expenditures are to be peculiarly local, and if they are excessive, the remedy rests with him to rebuke those who are charged with the administration of his local affairs." The Legislature is recommended to frame a law which will give the State Board of Tax Commissioners greater power to enforce the rule against excessive as well as low assessments anil to make the State Board a reviewing court to investigate and correct lneciualities in the matter of assessments and thus become not only a mediator as between counties of the State, but also to serve to protect the rights of individuals In each locality. The Governor suggests that there should also be a safe margin to enable each local legislative body to absolutely fix and determine the percentage of total income to be expended for salaries. "In looking over the salary list of the city of New York," he says, "it will be found that there are several officials who receive a larger salary than the Governor of the State or tho Cabinet officers of the United States, and it cannot be claimed that th3 services rendered are always commensurate with the compensation given."" Discussing the corelated subjects of sumptuary legislation and local option, the Governor says in part: "Local option as it relates to the liquor traffic is understood as meaning that in all communities than in cities the inhabitants thereof shall have the right to determine whether liquor shall be sold in such communities six days of the week and upon the determination of that question the excise department predicates its administration. This right was given because before the enactment of the present excise law it was within the power of the voters or the appointing authorities In the municipalities and villages to absolutely prohibit the sale of liquor by electing or appointing a board opposed to the granting of such license. It is a well-known fact that in the original draft of the State Constitution the same rights as to local option were sought to be given the municipalities, and that they tlo not possess them "is due to the opposition of their own representatives. There can be no objection to submiting thfc same eiue3tlon to the voters of the city if it is so desired, as it would be treating all parts of the State alike. But if by local option It meant the righ to determine whether the doors of the saloons may legally remain open on Sundays, then a different proposition is presented, and a de parture is proposed from the ilxed rules which have governed the administration of our excise laws, and It then becomes a question which concerns not only a particular city, but every section of our State. Kach locality owes to all others a due regard for their rights and convictions, and their moral and physical comfort. No Fuch departure should therefore be sanctioned nor power delegated to localities touching, as this would, upon the fundamental principles which have had their growth from the foundation of our country, unless clearly desired by a majority of the people of the State. Before submitting a referendum to the cities the whole question should bo passed upon by the people at large in the same manner as were the provisions which gave the mayors the right of veto and other features of home rule now guaranteed them by the Constitution enacted in 1.S94. If open saloons should be authorized in cosmopolitan cities demands would soon follow for licenses from other branches of business and might reach an extent that would arouse the consciences of every man and every woman in our commonwealth who believe not only in a day of rest, but in rendering to God who has blesseel us as a Nation the homage that is due to Him." The excessive cost of receiverships of public or semi-public institutions is given attention in the message, the evils of the present system being illustrated by the fact that the total expense involved in tne liquidation of the affairs of seventy corporations during the past ten years have been $l.o;o.223.S4. The Governor therefore recommends "the amendment of the banking and insurance laws so as to provide that all proceedings affecting Insurance and banking corporations under the control of the State banking and insurance departments shall not only be instituted by such departments, respectively, but that they shall be placed absolutely under their control during the liquidation." The Governor expresses his approval of the proposition to make the tax upon mortgages on realty five mills, which would produce an annual revenue of $.',- (Mono, and increase the revenues from indirect taxation to an amount almost equal to the annual requirements of the State. In order to remedy the evasion of tax laws by corporations tho Governor susgests that local assessors be given authority to compel corporations to furnish lists of stock holdings. In view of the fact that had President McKinley survived the assault of Czolgocz the latter could only have been sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. Governor Odell recommends that on a charge of assault with intent to kill a sentence of twenty-tive years be Imposed. The" Governor recommends that the divorce laws be amended so that a decree hhall not be absolute until six months after it is granted. After the reading of the Governor's message a number of bills were introduced, and then the Legislature adjourned until Monday evening.

All of the of-ffce-rs of last session were re-elected in both heus s.

NEW CODE OF LAWS. o Divorces In Washington Ilerenfter, Uxcept for Infidelity. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. A new code of laws for the District of Columbia to-day went into effect. The code is not a complete body of laws for the government of the district, the old Maryland statutes, the common law and the statutes of the United States applicable.to the District and acts of Congress relating to the District, remaining in force except where Inconsistent with -the new body of laws. The code was passed at the last session of Congress. The feature of most popular interest is a section prohibiting the granting of divorces except for infidelity, divorces no longer being procurable for desertion, drunkenness, cruelty and other offenses against the marital relation for which a divorce formerly might be secured. There is also a considerable change made in the practice before justices of the peace, the city being divided into ten districts with one salaried justice in each district, in place of the former teed tdllcers, whose locations were not to any considerable ex tent governed by geographical distinc tions. COAL FAMINE FEARED. Southern Hallways Hnmpered by -Floods nnil Shortage of Cars. ROANOKE, Va., Jan. 1. A South Carolina man, who was in Roanoke to-day arranging, It Is understood, for coal shipments to that State, said that owing to the floods it has been impossible to utilize water to generate power, and there being little coal available it was believed there was danger of a suspension on the part of some of the mills in South Carolina. The fuel famine seems to be general, as there are said to be complaints in all directions. It is understood nearly all of the coal carrying railroads have been seriously hampered of late by high water and de structive floods. Besides, the Christmas holidays and consequent inability to secure miners has cut off the supply at the tields. It is said the Norfolk Western has .000 cars waiting to ha loaded, and that some of the railroads having no coal fields to draw upon for fuel are reduced to using wood. Phillip Ilnrrett Released.

Professor Atwater gave tne aeMress or the day before; the New lork State Science Teachers Association to-day on the subject "Alcohol In the Pub lic Schools. rrofessor Atwater explained the present method of teaching alcohol in me public scnoois ani tnep compared it with the view of leading rpe-cialists n what oueht to be taught. He related the bearing on the subject which the latest investigations in scientific research have and concluded by expressing his personal opinion in regard to the kind nnd the amount of instruction which ought to be required by legislation In the schools. Pro fessor Atwater said "There is an actual conflict in progress between earnest moral reformers on the ono hand and educators and scientists on the other regarding the method of teacntng the youth -or the schools the physical action of alcohol. A body of temperance reform rs, by extensive organized efort, have secured in almost every State in iiie Union legislation requiring text-book Instruction 1 in tempt ranet physiology in the schools. ' The same Influen-- "nas been able to control the character of this Instruction by favor ing certain text-books and opposing those wliich have not its aproval. "Unfortunately for science, pedagogy and morality, a considerable part of the teaching the physiological action of alcohol is not in accord with the views ef specialists or with the result of the latest investigations. Thus it has conic about that there is in the United States a great educational moveme nt v. hlch is attempting to build up moral reform upon a basis of doe-trine which hcicntilic authority disapproves. "A large and increasing number of men of science and educators are realizing what scientific errors have found their way into the schools, and are trying to correct the m. They are perfectly In sympathy with the object eif temperance Instruction, but are S'sSCih9
