SCHOOLS AND THE STATE VARIOUS VIEWS ON COMPULSORY EDUCATION . I itei'views with Prominent Men on a Question That Will Be One of the Principal Subjects of Legislation in the Present Session of the Illinois General Assembly— Changes in the Present Law Suggest <l. [Springfield (Ill.) dispatch.] The compulsory school law. it is even now apparent, will be one of the principal subjects of contention during the session of the Thirty-seventh General Assembly of Illinois. The introduction yesterday in the Senate of a Democratic party measure absolutely repealing the present compulsory school law and substituting therefore a law which practically concedes all the demands of the most violent opponents of the law in the recent campaign has revived a discussion of this harassing question all over the State. The views of leading educators of the State, of the Governor, and incoming and outgoing State officials, of General Palmer, the recognized leader, of jouma’ists of distinction who have given the subject special consideration, have beeo sought and are here subjoined. Gov. Fifer, on being seen immediately after the introduction of the Democratic measure in the Senate, gave the bill a cursory examination, but declined to express opposition or approval of a measure which might possibly come before him for his signature. “I favor compulsory education,” said lie. “1 have devoted some space to this subject in my message, and I do not care to specify in ‘detail what amendments or changes should be made to the present la' It ■would hardly bo proper in me." The ■Governor is naturally in a delicate position from the fact that any legislation •on the subject must have his approval, but his official utterance on the subject, is terse and frank. “It is con•ceded by all,” says he, “that the law needs to be amended, since by its enforcement injustice, it is thought, has •been caused in some instances. The law being a new one perfection was scarcely ito be expected, and that it should need amendment ought to occasion no suriprfse. Perfection in laws comes only after long trial and experiment. It is not claimed that the law is perfect, ;and nobody is more willing to amend it than its friends. I conclude, therefore, that the general effect of the law has been good, and that in its essential features it should be maintained; but it should be amended so as to remove all just causes of complaint on the part of any of the citizens of the State.” Gen. John AI. Palmer, the Democratic leader and candidate for United States Senator, met the question quite as frankly as Gov. Fifer, and said: “I am certainly in favor of a compulsory school law. I certainly realize the sacredness of the rights of pareirts. but at the same time it is a duty which the State owes to the public t® see that all dhib dren are properly educated. To secure this all-important result a compulsory law is necessary.” “Should any studies be pursued in languages other than the English language?” “I can see no harm tin -studying certain branches in a foreign text, but I should not, tike to express myself as to the details of the required legislation until I have given it further thought. ” Richard Edwards, the Republican State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has naturally given the compulsory school law more attention than any other man in the State. He has recommended in his annual report several minor and verbal amendments :to the compulsory school law. but he opposes any substantial change. Superintendent Edwards says: “I am strongly opposed to any radical amendment to the law. It is right in spirit .and Should remain on the statute books. The treasons for the enactment of the law two years ago were patent. Out of 1,118,472 persons in the State in the wear 1888'between the ages of 6 and 2bonly 751,349 were enrolled in the. jniblic .-schools of the State, and 100,462 in the private schools. This left 266,653 persons of a schoolgoing age who were mot attending, any school. Os this number let us allow that one-half had reached,-say, tho age of 15, and might be presumed to have, received some reasonable schooling. We stilllhad left 133,329 children in the State who ought to have been iin the school and were not. Observation in‘different parts of the State confirms the dm pression sireceivcd from these general statistics. ” Henry Raab, Democratic Superinten-dent-elect of Public Instruction, the successor of Mr. Edwards, is not so clear in defining his position ion ithe much-dis-.cussed law. “It is too early yet.” She -said, “for me rto say much about it. In fact, I have not entirely settled matters in my own imind." I am in favor of .a bill thatwlll ;annul some of the obnoxaans elements of ithe present law. ” “And .those obnoxious ‘Clements tare ?” “I am not prepared just mow do make any public statement as to -them.” “What position do you hold .as rto the; ■publishing and distributim of school’ ibooks by thr State?" “1 believe there should nwt Ibe :a.<.oinimlled conformity of books used throughout the State,” said Mr. Raab; -“there are different necessities of different localities to be considered. I do not believe in the -selection of books by a board, nor do I believe in the free distribution of hacks. There should ibe arrangements made by which school books could be purchased by wholesale, though. ” “Willi you express no views in regarc > to the rights and privileges of private' and parochial schools?” “Certainly. I believe that every com-* munity has a right io such institutions ” 1 “Do non favor graggUug schools the privilege of teaching eerrain branches of knowledge in foreign Languages?” “I do,” replied the. Superintendent. “I will frankly state that I am not an advocate of too much compulsion.” Jlt.es Simon was recently written to and solicited to tell how he tod arrived at such a ripe old age. He answered that he did pot know: that for thirty years he had worked about t&e same number of hours daily, and tod not changed his manner of living in all that time. Probably his length of years is due to the latter fact more than to anything else. Mn. Henry George will soon take hl« departure for Bermuda to spend the remainder of the winter, He goes by the advice of his physician.

EMMA ABBOTT IS DEAD. THE GREAT OPERATIC SINGER SUCCUMBS. She Passes Away After a Two Days’ Illness at Salt Lake City—Remarkable Career of a Vocal:st Who Made a Million with Her Voice. Emma Abbott (Mrs. Eugene Wetherell), the gifted and well-known opera singer, died of pneumonia in Salt Lake City, Utah, after an illness of but two days’ duration. Miss Abbott’s career had been a remarkable one. She was born in Chicago in 1850 and went with her parents to Peoria, 111., when four years of age. Here her early life was spent. Her taste tor music was hereditary, her father having been a music teacher. He was not very successful financially, however, but before sho was ten years old Emma was able to give him considerable aid in keeping the family by singing at concerts, accompanying herself I s vsrj ■ 11 * r $ EMMA ABBOTT. on the guitar. She sang and played at country town concerts for several years, gradually widening the circle of her tours, and at sixteen gave it up for a while and settled down as a school teacher in Peoria. After a time she resumed her musical performances and at Toledo, Ohio, in 1870, she attracted the attention of Clara Louise Kellogg, who was struck with her talent and took an intcr•est in her. Miss Kellogg sent Iter to New York, where she studied under Errani, and after a time was engaged as soprano at the Church of the Divine Paternity. of which Rev. Dr. E. 11. Chapin was .pastor. Thore, she attracted the attention of many prominent people, among whom were Horace Greeley, 0. I). Huntington, George G. Lake and others. Mrs. Lake took her to her house, and an organized effort was made to give her a thorough training. She was sent to Italy in 1872, where she studied for some months under Giovanni at Milan, and then by the advice of Christine Nilsson, whose attention she had attracted, she went to Paris. There she took lessons in vocalization from Wartel and at tho same time took lessons in French. Italian. dancing, fencing and acting at the Conservatoire and Opera Oomi jue. Miss Abbott made her debut at Florence and was enthusiastically encored. She then went to England and made her first appearance at the Royal Italian Opera, Convent. Garden, and was received with great warmth. Then she went to tho Crystal Palace, where her singing brought her to the favorable notice of Col. Mapleson, who engaged her for three years. She sang in all the principal towns in England. Ireland, and Scotland, and became a great favorite. She had already achieved a reputation abroad before her own country had an opportunity of hearing her after her voice and taste had been thoroughly trained. She returned to the United States i® 1880, and made her first appearance in New .York, turning over the proceeds to a charity connected with the church through which she had been enabled to go to.ltaly. From that time on she became ;a general favorite all ewr the United States. She married Eugene Wethereii, her business manager, and organized a company of her own, which soon became very successful. Miss Abbott always selected her own assistants, tried their voices and assigned to them their parts. Her company was run on business principles. Mr. Wetherell died in Kansas City about a year ago while lus wife was in Denver, and she retired for a time from the stage. She contemplated <a permanent retirement, but was induced to give up the idea. Miss Abbott was very wealthy, her fortune being estimated at. over 551,000,009. Gossip About Women.

Some laborei s, who were repairing a portion of one if the sidewalks, had deposited a pitch iq; of thickened water near a tree, visitii ig it whenever their thirst became annoying. While they were busy over the jib a ''hound trotted along, and, spying t tie | pitcher, at once set out to investigate t. j Insert ng his sharp muzzle into the i uterior he discovered the deliciousness o f the contents, and began to lap vigi rously.

Then be fan an exciting performance. The ani nal howled lustily and sprang in all directions, rolling and pawing until it seemed as if he would work himself into madness. Bits of the pitcher were life, ken now and then, and orifices created 11, its shining sides, out of which burst, like echoes from a deep-sunken eave, sounds i of the frightened fellow's terrific C! ies.

The l-'l.'tion ot the Human Eye'. Intlueuee. I Ie every country the natives are unanimous in declaring that the leopard is I more dangerous than the lion or tiger, ‘ and I quite agree in their theory that. . when any dangerous animal is met with. । the traveler should endeavor to avoid its direct gaze.
