Ellis, who is with the party of tourists bound for Palestine. The letters were written on board the steamer New England before the arrival at Gibraltar and were delayed somewhere on their way back. They are all very interesting and lose nothing by the delay. We print herewith the first one which is number 5 in the series. The others will appear from day to day, in their order, in the Dailt Palladium. All will be published in the Weekly Palladicm. At the closing session of the school superintendents' convention , in Chicago President Benjamin Ide Wheel er of the University of California delivered an address on "The Place of Secmdary Schools." He made a vigorous protest against what he designated as a "tendency toward slavish imitation of collegiate life on the part of high schools.'. Dr. Wheeler's point is well taken and his protest is timely. A laudable effort to create enthusiasm in high school work by . competition, : athletic . features and "class spirit" has gradually become perverted not only to "a slavish imitation of college life" but a menace to the fundamental purpose of the common school system. There seems to be no limit to this tendency. One high school in Chicago has lately added boxing to its regular athletic exercises. - The next step will probably be prize fighting Thus the high school is gradually being metamorphosed into a ' bear garden. No doubt the military feature in the modern high school has sometning to do with this tendency. It certainly has the effect to draw class lines. N Th whole country, tnroueti tue .. ,J . local v papers and in terviews, baa naa its say on the Porto Rican tariff bill It is very plain that a large majority of the people are opposed to the meas ure. To what extent their minds may be changed by further and fuller explanations of the action of the President and the house on the sub. ject remains to be seen. But mean while Republicans shoald bear one thing in mind. The enemies of the party are working , this unfortunate circumstance for all there is in it. Out of the apple of discord thrown among us they are ' trying to make a mountain, a Juba Hill, as it were. On the eve of a great cam paign they aim t3 foment confusion in our councils and demoralize our forces. Shall we aid them in this purpose or close np our ranks to de feat it? Let us not forget that what ever the final decision may be as to the status of our insular possessions the President and the members of the house who supported the Porto Rican tariff bill are as good Repub licans as the country affords. Indiana never had an abler and truer Republican delegation in congress than she has today. It is not to be doubted lor a moment - that were their places filled by any other equal number of leading Republicans from this state they would occupy the same position on the Porto Rican question as those hold who are there now. Whatever lack of harmony there is between our Republican con gressmen and their constituents evi dently grows out of the difference in point of view. It would be cruelly unjust therefore for Republicans to join in the tirade of abuse and insinuation that is being indulged , in by Democratic and "independent papers. There is no occasion whatever for historical expression or action with regard to the Republican congressmen who voted for or against - the- Rorto ,-- Rican bilL Those who voted for it are just as good Republicans as they were before the vote was taken, and those who voted against it are no better. Any talk about changes in congressional nominations or in the gubernatorial race on account of the vote on,, the Porto Rican bill is mere bosh.

The title of the piece is in a manner explanatory of the story it tells- Mr. Gillette has been uniformly and emphatically successful in rendering French farce into delightful English adaptations, and in "Because She Loved Him So," he is said to have been as effective and graceful as in the numerous other adaptations that have been made by him.

Few people would -require the services of a practical showman to enumerate the really good minstrel shows prominent before the public during the last decade, for they are so few that any gallery-god can name them at a better trait than Imp ran the Suburban. But the prominence of the titles of these organizations have not predominated over the name of the manager who was responsible for the creations with these various enterprises. Just as surely as you can name a meritorious minstrel organization, equal'y positive can you be of the fact that at some time in its career the name of John W. Vogel was heralded as its manager, for John has directed the tours of every large minstrel company every organized. This season Mr. Vogel presents John W. Vogel and Arthur Deming's Big Minstrels, a pretentious organization of fifty members, prominent among whom are Arthur Deming, Ollie Young, Bentham & Byrne, John Queen, the three Petits and others. The vocal contingent comprises eight prominent soloists, including Master Georgie Jones, the famous boy baritone. Lew Scott is in charge of the silver cornet band, while the double symphony orchestra is directed by the well known composer and arranger, E. L. Wayne. It has not been our good fortune to see this performance given by Vogel'8 new enterprise, but hardly a day passes without our noting a clever criticism in some exchange. The company is scheduled to arrive here via the Panhandle at 3:45 p. in. in their own train of palace sleeping, dining and baggage cars, and a big Street parade a half hour later and a great minstrel show in the evening at the Gennett theatre is assured.

The cameo tints are beautiful, but the white cloth In the ivory tint rather has the lead. In any color fur should be a part of the decoration to give a warmth in effect which cloth in pale tints especially needs.

Thin IHVENTION OF A BOSTON GENIUS. rbarlea Fleteker Has Discovered aa Art In Which He Haa Interested Frank Hurkrf eller Sew Material Stood Teat In Lona tuakc Voraft. Haa the Strenath of Steel. For ages the scientists of the world have been trying to rediscover the secret of tempering copper, a secret known to have been inissessed by the ancients from the discovery of knives made or solid copper In aucleut ruins. To fathom the secret of how the copper In these ketn old rustless knives was tempered would probably mean as much profit to the man who patented the process now as any other Invention that could be conceived. Tempered copper would be possible of use for many purposes for which the best copper that can now be made Is unfitted, for the reason that It Is not sufliciently stiff or strong. By a new process of rolling a Massachusetts genius has succeeded In attaining results that so far as 6heet metal work Is concerned are almost equal to what he woild be able to accomplish If he bad rediscovered the secret of tempering copper, says the Cleveland correspondent of the Chicago Record. The Massachusetts genius Is Charles Fletcher of Boston. He has succeeded In get ting Frank Rockefeller, brother of the president of the Standard Oil company and himself a very rich man. Interested in the matter. Mr. Rockefeller sayp that If he finds on investigation thai the Invention Is all the Inventor claims for it and not too expensive a process he will take it up. If he does, he say .the plant for making the new material Which will revolutionize some things will be located In Cleveland. ' By his Inventiou Fletcher has succeeded in making sheets of, so far as appearance goes, pure copper of wonderful thinness, and with the springl ness. strength and capacity for being tempered that steel has. Manj thousands of dollars have been spent on the experiments, and the fewsheets of the new material that havf leen made cost a great deal more than their w-eight In gold. Mr. Roc cef eller has made arrangements to mtft the inventor In New York and go Into de tails in a few days. Fletcher's process consists In rolling a hot steel plate and two heated cop per plates at the same time in such a way that the copper forms a skin over the surfaces of the steel and gives It all the wet and weather resistance that pure copper has. It will not rust and has at the same time the strength of steel. It can be stamped as well as tin and crimped or otherwise worked In ways and under circumstances that would be Impossible with sheets of copper. On his desk In the Standard Oil offices In Cleveland Frank Rockefeller has a small sheet of the new material, no name for which has yet been selected. The sheets were the size of letter paper and so thin as not to be very much heavier. The steel itself was several times as thick as the cop per, and yet. on each surface of the steel there was a perfect skin of copper so thin that a strong magnifying glass did not show its edge at the edge of the plate. To all appearances the sheet was all copper, but Its springiness showed that It was not- These pieces of sheet metal represent the culmination of experiments extending over years. The inventor Is an odd genius. Ills letter paper Is beaded "Faraday Lab oratory. Boston. Mass. What Hath God Wrought, Numbers xxiil. 23." On the letter heading there are about a dozen references to texts In the Bible. Although he has had considerable cor respondence with the Invemor. Mr. Rockefeller haa not yet met him. Last summer the Inventor sent some samples of bis new sheet metal to Mr; Rockefeller, who bad an idea that such plates of greater thickness would be valuable material for making steel lake steamers. He arranged with Captain McLKmga.Il. Inventor of the wbakback. to tow a model made of the new ma terial behind one of his whaletacks for a trip up and down the lakes to see how It would staDd ft- When the model came back, the copper skin over the steel plates was as shiny as when it had been put Into the water. Whether it is along this line or in the making of stamped articles of use and ornament. such aa gas chandeliers, cornices and roofings, that the new materials will be used will in a measure depend on the cost cf production under actual conditions. I think that the Invention is one of the most remarkable that has come to my notice." said Mr. Rockefeller, "and people are all the time trying to get me into something of that sort.. The copper and steel are rolled at the same time, and in the; finished plate.

He was with General White at Ladysmith. but got away from the threatened town on the.last train leaving before the Boers established their lege. General French on arrival at Durban was given command of the Fourth division. For a time rejwrts of iiis movements were meager, and his exact wherealwuts were not always known. Altogether unexpectedly the word goes out. "French has arrived at Klmtierley!" and British hopes revive, while a redoubtable commander adds another achievement to his record. Bryan Holds tne Reeord. Some gentlemen were discussing at a well known hotel the question of what orator of ancient or modern times had first and last spoken to the greatest numtter of human beings. A great many names were suggested, but finally it was agreed that more people had listened lo the sound of William J. Bryan's voice than to any other man who ever talked to the public. "1 do not think." said Mr. P. L. Irvine of New York, "that there Is any doubt of Bryan's primacy in this regard. We know that famous speakers among the ancients, orators of the class of Cicero and Demosthenes, talked to vast crowds, but we have only to reflect upon the paucity of transportation facilities In those days to realize that they addressed practically the same audiences all the time.
