Cpeclal to the . Indianapolis Journal. , SEYMOUR, Ind., Aug. 23.-The term of the .Jackson Circuit Court, which begins its cession at Brownstown to-morrow, will be . the most Important one that has been held la this county for years. Anions a large number of cases which are docketed are tT70 for murder, one of the cases being - against Edgar Holmes, of this city, who thot and killed his sister. Florence at the breakfast table on the morning of March 7. The other case being that of the twelve- . t year-old child murderess Nevola Annodale, b trno Is better known as Dollle Belknap, for ,thd poisoning of Fleming Sarver and wife. , by administering Rough on Rats to them in their coffee on the morning of July 14. It TTjll be remembered by the readers of the ;- Jcurnal that "when Dollie made her confes- . don she accused Josie Derringer of having ; ir.rtlsated the crime by writing her letters end advising her to do away with her foster . parents. Scraps of the purported letter she . . cave to a neighbor, who turned them over ' to W. T. Brannaman. the prosecuting attcroey. Since the acquittal of the Demnger ' clrl Mr. Brannaman has secured a copy of r come of her writing. After makhng a thor"Dush comparison. It was plain that the Der--jirtnser girt did not do the writing. It was then suggested by the correrpondent that . probably th Belknap girl had written the letter herself. Acting upon this suggestion, Cheriff Btlllwell was instructed to have Dollis write, as near as she could remember, - a copy of the letter. This was done by the clrl, and it proved to be In the same handTritlnsr as the one which she claimed was Civen to . her by Josie Derringer. - The ihrewdness of the child murderess Is here ' exemplified. Since her Incarceration she has persistently accused the Derringer girl of having written the letter, but there is no one now who believes her story, 'further . than that part which relates to herself. There Is much s?e culatlon as to what penalty will be inflicted upon the girl, as she is not yet thirteen yars old. .The most important case which will be heard by Judge Voyles, and one in which every voter of this county is interested, is the suit brought to mandate the County Commissioners to order an election that the voters may decide, by ballot, whether the county seat shall be removed from llrowtstown to this city. . A special act giving a certain number of freeholders a right $o petition the County Commissioners for a rpeclal election to decide the question of the removal of the county seat was passed by the last Legislature. Under the provisions prescribed by the act. a petition was filed at the June term of the Commissioners Court, but the commissioners refused to crant the request of the petitioners on the r round s that the law was unconstitutional. rhe voters have arrayed themselves, and the best of legal talent has been secured on toth sides. - II Eli FOOT CUT OFF.

So.-Whlle there has been a saving rain in the northwest part of the State, the lower Wabash valley Is suffering from the drought, and the corn crop, which gave such big promise a few weeks ago, will not be an average yield, unless there is rain soon, and plenty of it.

Eustis, second secretary of the embassy and son of the embassador, goes to Clairvaux to-day with the legal adviser of the embassy, to Interview Mr. Waller. France and America are discussing the matter in a friendly spirit and the friendly relations are unimpaired. No disagreement has arisen or could arise on this ubject." The Spy Law Denounced. LONDON, Aug. 26. The.Paris correspondent of the Daily News says: "The Waller affair ought to teach the French the danger of their revised espionage law. America will protect with the same firmness this convicted spy as If he were a white man. The spy law, as it now stands, is barbarous, and France should feel obliged to America for giving this demonstration of Its evils. Should a good case be made, it is believed that the court-martial which sentenced Waller will be disavowed." The RothNchlld Infernal Machine. PARIS, Aug. 23.

CHINA'S VEGETARIANS

A 3IVSTEHIOIS SECIIET SOCIETY BE.T OX MIRDEH A XI) PILLAGE. The MeiiiberMhln Spread Over the Empire, nnd I a Menace to Stranger and Law and Order. New York World. The Vegetarian Society of the Chinese empire is at the present day the most talked about but the. least understood secret society In the world. The horrible massacre of Europeans by Its frenzied members the other day are now a matter of history. But of the society Itself, Its alms and tenets. Its history' and membership, little has been known. It has emerged suddenly upon the horizon of the civilized world out of the chaos and the social ferment in which the Flowery Kingdom Is now hopelessly submerged. The blow already struck, unreasonable and unaccountable, may be repeated. If It be true that the enormous membership of this organized band of assassins approves of the Kucheng horror, then other terrible murders may be looked for. If only another Hung Slutsuen, who led the Taipung rebellion should arise and give the movement a head and a center, a duplicate of that famous conflict would be easily brought about. China Is honeycombed with secret societies, some of which are entirely political, some religious, some, so far as outward signs go, purely vegetarian, but all have a political tinge. They are societies the exact characteristics of whose membership are not known, but they are presumed to be composed almost entirely of the lower classes. And despite the one great trait of the Chinese conservatism, the overwhelming disposition among these people Is to "improve" the Manchu government. They know cf no other way of improving it excepting that of driving the present one clean oft the face of the earth. One of the best of the scholarly writers on the government of China has said: "The secret associations which are so numerous in China hold the government in considerable dread of them, for though the political objects in which some of them originated are nearly forgotten, yet these associations are composed of the dregs of society." The strength of any movement of this sort, any outbreak of the Vegetarians, can best be appreciated by an understanding of how the empire is divided religiously. The doctrine of Confucius, of course, holds first place, but China has three definite religions. Besides Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have thousands of disciples. The Vegetarians are Buddhists of the strictest sort. They carry out this doctrine so far in their daily life that not only no meat, but no milk or butter, ever passes their Hps. Taken altogether, they form one great secret society regarding the membership of which practically nothing Is known. In a way the Vegetarians may.be compared to the Free Masons, but there Is one important point of difference. The Masons are known, they wear badges at times, and individuals acknowledge that they belong to the order. Again, there is nothing political In this enormous Occidental secret society, while politics undoubtedly does color Vegetarianism to its Inmost core. Whether or no the man who passes you on the streets of a Chinese city is a Vegetarian is something that cannot be told. He certainly does not say. NON-EATERS OF MEAT. Also there Is grade after grade of Vegetarians. Some of the devotees cf this doctrine absolutely abstain , from all kinds of animal food permanently. These really are the true Vegetarians, but quite as well to be included with them, should any sort of political outbreak come, are the men who only abstain from meat" a. portion of the time. One sect, for example, refuses to touch any sort of animal food for the first twenty-four days of each month, its members being perfectly at liberty to 'eat meat the remaining week. Another sect leaves meat alone rigidly on certuin days of the week and on other days eats It. All sorts of grades and shades make Up this party. It is a party much to be feared. One branch of this society says "For every ounce of meat you use in this life you will have to pay back eight ounces in the next." Another way that they put it Is that the chief doctrine of simple Vegetarianism is "a means of rectifying the heart, accumulating merit, avoiding calamities in this life and retributive pains In the next." And yet another old Chinese saying of the missionaries runs as follows: "A corollarry to the tenets of the sacredness of human life and the wickedness of animal sacrifices is the sin of eating flesh. The Christian religion is called the Yesu (Jesus) Church, and those unacquainted with the sounds ask us 'if we eat su that we live on a vegetable diet." Of all these organizations the government heartily disapproves, for It sees a constant danger and menace to It in their enormous strength and power. There are so many of them and they differ so much in minor principles that every grade of feeling and opinion Is provided for. Money these societies seem to get In unlimited quantities from somewhere where it cannct be said. At all events, they have ample funds to push their propaganda and to gather in new members constantly. One Society may partially die out or become weaker, but another Is always on hand to take its place and grow stronger out of this very A very "old missionary story It must now be half a century old goes to show, somewhat, how these great secret societies of the Vegetarian order are built up. In the northern division of Peking a secret society called the "Wonderful Association" was discovered. The head of the combination sent to that city an old man in the humble garb of a manure gatherer, which is the meanest of all occupations in China. But this degraded person had money In his pockets. He contributed to poor soldiers and provided funds for people In distress, gathering In constantly new members to his order. . .... Wang-Laou-Tow-Tsze (the old king) was the aged man's name, and he had an associate, Tang-Pa-urh, who, having In his hand some defect of old standing which disabled htm so that he could not open his fingers, pretended there was something wonderful In this, and he became widely known throuchout Peking as "Lion the re'cumbent Buddah." So magnetic was the personality of these two personages that they seemed about to bring their society into a grand success. They traveled frequently throughout Peking, gathering in members with wonderful success, and they were to meet In that city on the- first moon of the year. Behold, they had all but built up a Vegetarian society of great magnitude when the government somehow heard of the project and imprisoned them both. , MANY VEGETARIAN SECTS. With great difficulty the names, beliefs and general doctrine of the most Important ramifications of the great Vegetarian sect wero compiled a number of years ago by two missionaries in China. wh,o sent out an educated Chinaman, acquainted with these associations, to collect data. These were afterward published In the old Chinese Register. Of the various branches this much is known: Tal Yang Klao (the Sun), date of foundation unknown, but probably between 400 B. C. and 650 A. D. It bears a good character, and has never been suspected of sedition. Its membership is very large, and its worship Is of dark days, night lamps and fire. Chao Kwang Klao (Light Worship). This society was founded later in the Han dynasty. Its membership Is not so large as that of the association Just above, but it is yet prosperous. Certain of its members during its career have been punished for seditious acts. The society worships the moon, the stars and the light generaJly. At its meetings are burned paper, but no incense. Charms are thought highly of and Incantations are frequent. . Pel Lieu Klao (White Lily), founded A. D. I2i to 1S23. Revived 1621. Follows most of the forms of idolatry. Sz Ch'wan Klao tGolden Elixir.) A purely provincial sect, dating back to the Sung dynasty, A. D. 1101 to 112G. Worships an idol and makes use of charms. Its members are seekers after truth, but it Is known to have many in Its ranks against the government, and has often been punlshea. Wu Wei Klao (the Non Action Society), small and takes very little part in matters nowadays. It has never been suspected of seditious principles. Pel Yuen Klao (White Cloud) founded by Wei Pel-Wang, a Taoist philosopher of the Han dvnasty. This society largely devotes Itself to searching for the drug Immortal. It once enjoyea a high reputation and had many learned and wealthy followers. It afterwards fell into disrepute. Sheng Hsieu Klao (Sect of the Sages and Worthies.) Composed of many prominent literary men. Its membership Is very large. It delights in mysteries and predictions,

and worships the--Great Extreme," or the "Ultimate Immaterial Prince of all Things." . , ..... . NO opium; wine OR TOBACCO. Pah Kwa Kiao (Eight Diagrams). Founded about 1624; conforms to society In all its outward fsrms of current Idolatry, but of Itself . docs ' not believe in worshiping anything besides heaven. It pays great attention to strict" vegetarianism and issues tracts regarding the non-killing of animals or birds. Opium, w ine and tobacco are not allowed to its members. This society is exceedingly diligent in secretly propagating its doctrine. . It Is one of the largest of the secret orders and is often accused of seditious aims. Tsz Mu Klao (Mother and Son Society). This is a mystic order, and Its chief Interests are those of divination, fortune-telling, predictions and the occult methods of causing cash to produce cash. Fah Lu Klao (Sect of God. FahliO. Very intimately connected with Buddhism, and a strong urger of the sin of taking life. Once a month the members allow a day's holiday to their animals. The society vorshlps Heaven, earth and the sages. The god It stands for is said to be the best and so Its membership Is solely of the first rank. In the South and the maritime provinces the Triad Society Is especially strong. They are generally supposed to affiliate with the Vegetarians, though In just what particulars they do cannot be said. The name. Triad, means earth, heaven and man, and it Is ruled over by a council of three men who are called the "Three Elder Brothers," what would be known in New York politics as a "steering committee." The Triad is comparatively peaceful as regards overt acts, but It Is known to be Intensely opposed to the Manchu dynasty. Not only is it one of the greatest organizations of China, but it is also powerful in Siam, Singapore, Malacca and the Archipelago. Its proper Chinese name Is San-ho-hwuy. The ceremonies attendant upon the installation of a new member are both Eeculiar and interesting. The novice swears efore an idol, taking his oath under an arch of steel and a bridge of swords. He then stands under naked swords, and finally binds his oath conclusively by cutting off a cock's head. Two other societies of power In the empire are the Pih Lien Kiao. the Water Lily Sect, and the Wan Klang, or Insence Burning Sect. That these secret societies are exceedingly dangerous to the Interests of peace In the Chinese empire It is easy to tell from the lawless deeds that are done by the gangs of men from the "lower classes who r..ake them up. In the country districts they carry off persons for ransom; they plunder wherever any plunder is to be had; they assume the rode of policemen and sail In pretended revenue cutters, stealing and carrying, off women wherever it is possible. They also have an arrangement with the farmers cf their locality by which they get regular "Indemnities" from them, the farmer understanding perfectly well that If they do not give these "Indemnities," the society will carry 'Off his crop when it Is ripe, before he has a chance to harvest it. In the cities they fire houses at night and carry oft property and people living In the houses under the pretext of saving them. Besides th'.s they have an unconquerable dislike for foreigners of every kind, The "anti-foreign" and the Vegetarian element are, In fact, one and the same. They are a constant source of danger to the stranger within China's gates. . BLUNDER TO BE CORRECTED. Ransom to Ile Renppolnted as Mlnlster to.llexlco. NEW YORK, Aug. 26. A special to the Herald from Washington says: M. W. Ransom, of North Carolina, will be reappointed United States minister to Mexico, and the President' will , thus rectify the blunder made in the-first appointment of Mr. Ransom while he was still a member of the Senate. Whether Mr. Ransom will return to. Mexico, or not, will depend entirely on his own wishes. In deciding what to do In the matter, Mr. Ransom will be governed very largely. If not entirely, by consideration as, to his health. Korea Flmt l'oatnge Stamps. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. A document received at the State Department from Minister Sill at Seoul, Corea, incloses four new postage stamps, the, first issued by Korea for domestic purposes.

KISSES IN THE DARK

.NO MORE COMMON THAN I. 1IROAD DAYLIGHT AT ASIHIIY PARK. Bradley, the Terror of Spooney" Couples, Posts SIkhs Thnt Sncet Some Awful Doings. New York Recorder. ; All Asbury Park, which means, nearly, 100,003 people, is smiling to-day over Senator Bradley's latest addition to the features on the beach. It consists of a big sign, elevated twelve feet In the air on two big poles, and reads as follows: "All persons are forbidden to pass this point after dark, for reasons known to the police. The owner has made tnis rule. "J. A. BRADLEY." The sign Is located at the extreme northern end of the board walk at the foot of Eighth avenue. It is also at the foot of Deal lake, and the nearest house that ofthe llfesavers Is half a mlie away. The property in question, which has been dubbed "The Lovers' Retreat," Is the l(X)-yard wide strip of sand that lies between the end of the board walk and the llfesaving station, and Is bounded by the lake and the ocean. There are no electric lights or any other illumination there, and during the past two months It has been the custom of the young, men and women In quest of secluded spots to walk up the board walk until they'came to the Jumplng-off place, and then to walk right on until they came to a cozy spot on the sand not occupied by some other loving pair. The place proved such a popular rendezvous that, upon the advice of one of his policemen. Founder Bradley walked along the beach, which Is his private property, about ten days ago. He was so shocked at the sight of the dozens of young couples on the sand that he at once gave orders to his policemen that any persons found making love to each other on the beach must be immediately disturbed. He also objected In the strongest .terms to the very popular practice of young folks taking the heads of their sweethearts in their laps. . The first day or two the policemen started In on their new duties they had more than they had bargained for. The .average Asbry Park young man or woman uoesn't care a bit. whether the whole world knows they love each other. If they don't love each other, why, they know that those who see them will merely give them credit for doing a little summer "Jollying." and so It all goes. Everything goes at Asbury Park when Senator Bradley is not around. The young people actually became so bold that it was a common sight to see them sitting on the benches on the board walk, almost within touch of several hundred people, and hugging, and kissing each other. "SPOONEY" BOYS AND GIRLS. . When the policemen first started In they succeeded In frightening a lot of young boys and girls who were not bad at all, and who were only making love to each other In the feeblest kind of a way. The boys were only preparing for college, and the girls were nothing more than schoolgirls, and all they were doing was holding (hands and saying how nice it would be to fall In love when they grow older. The day after the order took effect one of the policemen discovered two grown-up people lying on the sand. The woman -as In a reclining position, and was reading a novel; the man had his heal in her lap under the, shade of a parasol, and was apparently asleep. T.ie policeman told them they would have to assume other positions or get off the beach. The man rubbed his eyes sleepily and told the policeman to mind his business. The policeman was not to be discouraged, and he said it was Mr. Bradley's orders. Then the man got mad. Jumped up, and, shaking his fist under the policeman's nose, said: "This lady is my wife, and if I want to go to sleep with my head In her lap Senator Bradley and the entire police force cannot prevent me. Now, if you don't attend to your business I'll make trouble, and one of us will get wet." The policeman apologized and went along. A few evenings ago another policeman spied a young couple seated in one of the summer houses adjoining the board walk. The young man had his arm around the girl's shoulder, and had kissed. her several times. The bluecoat tapped him on the shoulder and said: "It's against the rules to make love in public here. You will either have to stop or get off the beach." The young man began to talk back in a saucy manner, and a crowd at once collected. Fnially he said: "Well, if it is against the law to make love down here I suppose I'll have to quit and walk around with a marble heart. I have got one consolation, however, and tna,1 ! that 1 t the girl in Asbury Park, and right on the board walk, too." This turned the laugh on the policemin. f4 1 11 was hearty laugh. He cou'dn't think of anything else to say, so he walked away, and the young couple laughed as if they had enjoyed the scene as much as the crowd had. WORSE AND MORE OF IT. During the past two days the policemen have posted the bathing houses and pavilions with signs reading as follows: f "It is in bad taste and shows great carelessess or lewdness for men or women to assume attitudes on the beach that would not be tolerated in the city park "Decency should be appreciated as well on Asbury Park beach as elsewhere. "The poMce must enforce the spirit of the above suggestions. J. A. BRADLEY." Senator Bradley took still further measures to keep the boys and girls away from "The Lovers' Retreat" yesterday, by having st fence built from the ocean back to D;al lake. There Is only one gate in the fenc?. and that is right at the end of the board walk, and In the little summer houe where a policeman Is stationed night and day On account of the elevation of the board walk, he commnds a bird's-eye view of the territory, and there is no doubt that tne new rule will be most rigidly enforced, and so the lovers will have to find another reli Cat In Justice to Senator Bradley, it must be said that his rules are not directed against the school boys and girls, whose love-making Is embodied in mere flirtation, or "jollying," as everybody calls it In Asbury Park but against a class who have been doinjr things up In very high style since the opening of the season. There Is a goodly number of young women in town now, the majority of whom have been here since July l. who would immediately be recognized by any policeman In H Tenderloin district. They have Established themselves at the high-daft hotels and boarding houses, under very pretty names, and travel as sisters and cousin?, and. as they keep within the bounds of propriety at the hotels, the guests and proprietors look upon them as very charming and respectable young women. Senator Bradley knows this, and, of course, is powerless to act, as no direct evidence can be obtained, but his knowledge of the existing circumstances is plainly enough shown In his concluding paragraph concerning "tho spirit of the above suggesWhen a Recorder reporter visited the spot yesterday he aRked the policeman if he was having much trouble keeping the boys away from the beach. "I wouldn't have much trouble if it was the boys, he said, "but the girls are worss than the men." Senator Bradley refused to talk upon the subject. "I have erected signs." he said, "because I thought it was necessary. They explain themselves and no comment Is necessary from me." RED 31E.VS lOlST DEGREE. When It Is Worked There's Xotblnff to Do bnt Punch. New York Sun. If you are in the act of joining the Improved Order of Red Men and the Ind.ans in the lodge room start to put you through the one-hundred-and-flrst degree, lead with your left and bang the nearest Indian on the nose. Follow it up with a right-hand swing, and then, if there are more Indians around than you can manage, run for your life. Kick down doors, do anything at all onlv escape. This advice is official. If you don't follow it you may have to sue the order for J5.00O damages for personal Injuries. George Welmer. of New City, has none that, and he has stirred up the blgnest hornets' nest about him that has been stirred up in Rockland county for soine time. The Improved Order of Red Men is a secret benefit order, divided into tribes. As the name Indicates the members are called Indians and there are chiefs and pacherr.s and wiskinkies and all thit for officers. George Weimer is a hotel keeper In New City. He comes from Stuttgart and used to be an athlete. The Improved Order of Red Men gpt a footing in Rockland county Juat a few years ago, and it got such a hold that If you want to re anybody at all there you have to be a Red ilan. The Kaklat Tribe of the order

was organized in Congers In January of last year. Mcst of Mr. Welmer's friends in New City jomtd it and In March he went in. Just before Mr. Weimer became a member a wicked Red Man came from the West and he landed in Congers on the night when the lodge received hew. members. He raw the candidates admitted. He wasn't satisfied. "Why don't you people work the one-hundred-and-first degree?" he asked. The tribe, being new. had never heard of the one-hundred-and-ftrst degree, and the wicked man explained It to them. So the next time candidates were Initiated, in addition to riding the goat they were put through the one-hundred-and-ftrst degree. It was pronounced an Immense improvement. Some of the men who took It have the scars yet. The inventor of the degree never Intended, of course, that this should be bo, and the trouble was merely that the Indians who administered It were not familiar with the work. They became more familiar later, but not until Mr. Weimer had gone through the mill; at least Mr. Weimer and his frVnds sav o. It was the night of March 22. 1894. There were four .other candidates. The occasion wsl9 a very solemn one. The 150 or 20 Indians of the tribe sat around the waiting room with stolid faces. Sachem Lowrle was the master of ceremonies, and the other Indians officers were in place. The regular initiation proceeded to the end, and tnen the one-hundred-and-flrst degree was proposed. The candidates assented. As the door was locked and they were .surrounded by Indians, there was nothing else to do. Now. It is not proposed to go Into the full details of the working of this degree, because that's a secret. Even the injured Mr. Weimer won't tell it. This much can be toll. The five candidates were commanded to get down on the floor on their hands and knees. Then the big Indians, that Is -to say, the officers, read from . big books. How long they read none of the candidates remembers, hut their knees had begun to ache when there was a war who"p. The candidates were seized from behind by the handiest part. Over and over they went, and when they landed a lot of the other Indians landed on top of them and mauled them. Then there was a war dance, and tb show was over. The candidates were full-fledged Indians. All the candidates got through the ordeal all right except Weimer. He had to be hefped up and helped out and helped home. He suvs so. at least. On the next day he found that his knee-cap had ben injured. He went to bed. Three months latr he hid to have an operation performed. By this time his doctor's bill amounted to J509 or more, and he wrote to his fellow Red Men asking what they were roing to do about It. He got nn answer. Then he wrote formally, demanding the amount of his doctor's bill. He eot a letter tell'ng him the claim was disallowed. Saturday was the last dav be had In which' to begin p ult and he hepan it. Rockland county Red Men have been s'tzliner since. A party of them were gathered at a hotel in Congers yesterday when the Sun. reporter reached town. Thev were discussing the one-hundred-and-flrst degree. One of them said that the only thing for a man to do was to follow the advice gven In the first part of this storv. "And If George Weimer had done It." he sd. "there wouldn't have been any suit." The ethers applauded that sentiment and said: "It's George Welmer's own fault if he got hurt." . ta "I took it an all I got is that," said one, exposing a scarred ear. ' "And so did I. and that's the only mark cn me." sad another, pointing out a scar on the forehead. Sachem Lcwrie was found on h!s farm. "It ain't any part of the order, this one-hundred-and-flrst degree ain't," he said. "If a man takes it he takes It at his own rl-k." "Well, what's he go!n' to do when the doors are locked on him?" demanded Weimer, who was present. "Well, he can fight." said the Sachem. "Yes," said Weimer, "he can but he won't Mess he's an Idiot." "Well, there's other stories about how you got hurt." said the Sachem. "Mind you, I ain't sayln they're truei but they're around." f These other stories. U turned out later, were that Weimer had been injured In a wrestling match, in a free-for-all fight. In a friendly sparring match, and In a row with a mule. Mr. Weimer denied them all. The Red Men swore they would spend their last dollar to carry the case to the Court of, Appeals If necessary. Weimer said he didn't have much money, but he was going to push the case Just the same. It is altogether likely that the matter will b compromised before It comes to a trial. Meantime. Weimer has withdrawn from the Kakiat Tribe, and the Kakiat Tribe has stopped administering the one-hundred-and-flrst degree. A SCHOOL OP PATHIOTI83I.

The American Gnnrd Movement, nnd Its SucceMM In One State. New York Mall and Express. Whichever way one may turn nowadays one see. lads between the ages of ten and eighteen clad in neat". military dress, and so frequently does this occur that people have, ceased to inquire what It means. Thero stems to be no quarter of this State that has not already begun the development of i he military school system. Even thouih, lor want of m?ans. some are not yet aavanced beyond th? "set up" manual ths preliminary manual develops many cf the qualities consdered valuable. And this healthrul (xerclse, more beneficial than anv other school of athletic training, wr.en conflnei to the "set up" classes. Is taught tv girls as well as bos. with most, if i.ot a 1. of the accruing benefits. At Hornellsvllle two of the schools each have a company oT cadets uniformed and well started on the way and in all the s:hoo s the boys and girls al'ke are trained by ther own teachers In military drill. The principal of the c ty schools is a man strong y Impregnated with pitr.otlc sentiment:-, and he says he finds the military exercise and government to be of great benefit to the children in every way. At Mount Verron the president of the board of education Is a G. A. R. member, and Lieut. Rhoades Is also a member. Roth are actively engaged in forwarding the popular movement; Mcst of the Kcholar3 (armed and uniformed) and the Bactist Boys' Brigade took a prominent place on Memorial day In the G. A. R. column, and elicited much applause. Rochester Is thoroughly active, thojgh net as yet has the drdt been systematically Introduced In the schools. On Memorial day 1.200 boys were In line, of whom 6W wore the uniform, blue blouse, trousers and CflD At Schenectady the school board have the matter under conslderat'on and ,will urdoubt'dly a?t favorably when the schools reassemble. At Utlca in all the schools a general movement has begun. Six hundred children were In line on Memorial day, and one of the private institutions turned out one hundred boys, with its own drum corps of forty pieces. A beautiful feature of the day was the appearance of four hundred little girls at the people's exercises, dressed In white, each one with a flag, singing patriotic sonsrs Upon the Board of Education at Yonkers are two veterans, Frederic Shonnard and James V. Lawrence. Military Instruction in the high school, with a full equipment of arms, began in January, 1892, and the drill Is compulsory. 1" he same organized method was established in all the grammar schcol classes, with the Instructions given by a graduate of West Point, who was an officer In the United States army. In all the schools large enough for assembly rooms, the flag is saluted every morning. Beside the school drill, there is one given at the armory weekly. At Friendship the reports are encouraging. At the Academy and Union School there is a class where the drill Is voluntary, yet the boys are prompt and painstaking. It will be remembered that eight years ago, in the city of Brooklyn, the IT. S. Grant Post, at an expense of over 11.000, gathered five hundred pupils five from each of the schools one color bearer and four as a color guard, and assembled them upon the ntage of the Academy of Music, when a flag was presented to each school. General Sherman took an active part, and Gen. O. 6. Howard made the presentation speech. Since that time every public school In the city ha3 held patriotic exercises more or less frequently, and many of them have adopted the daily flag salutation. Following up this movement, came up an Interest In flagsalutation by the Sunday schools, until now every school possesses the United States flag. Two years ago a committee on military Instruction was appointed by this post, and progress has been made all along the line. Physical training is taught in all the grade, from the lowest primary through the grammar grades, under the direction of Miss Jessie H. Bancroft. The teachers are students as well,, and assemble outside of school hours to receive Instruction and drill from the director, and In turn they Instruct their own cla-ses. Reports from principals and the committee say that the system Is very benehcjal to the boys, not only as an aid to discipline, but In that they are more prompt In attendance, careful in habits, neat In dress, erect in carriage, polite to their teachers and to each other. Mothers are commending the movement by letters expressing high appreciation. Grammar School No. 13, William Felter. principal, has a uniformed battalion over two hundred strong; I look upon this school as being In the foremost rank of mlllltary instruction. The care taken to promote every department of school work, the forcing of good scholarship as a requisite for belonging to or remaining In the battalion, removes all criticism that the mental training will be interfered with or made subordinate to the military. At thU school the principal assumes the rank of colonel and commands the battalion, which Is divided into four companies and Instructed by Mr. Rene L. Milhau. for-

Every morning the guard marches Into the main room and places the colors beside the piano, and every Monday morning after the opening exercises the color guard forms in front of the piano, with the flag in the center, and the commands are given: "Salute the flag! Attention!" The whole school rises, the flag Is droopel and at the command "begin" all come to a salute and with their hands In that position Fay together: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and tthe republic for which It stands-one nation, indivisible, with liberty and Justice for all." The hands are then dropped, the color guard raises the colors and the school unites in finging "My Country. fTis cf Thee," which closes the ceremony. Reveille. A I!AUYS ADVKTIIIE.

The man looked kindly ' enough, and he took the baby from its morher's arms Hke any klndjy man would do, and the motl: was praud to Fee her baby made much tv, like any mother would be. She was a farmer's wife from ssampsorv and. being stout of arms, had carried tlrn child all day. except whea the husband would sometimes take a turn, and thewn had walked from the time the train ha I got to Raleigh, for they were ud to walking over the fields;, but somehow city streets have a way of making thoe from the country tired, and eo the farmer's wife wis tired when with the little one-year-old and the farmer husband she hai gone afoot as far as the asylum for the insane. Over seven hundred of the excurfioniFts had called on t'he good Dr. Klrby tnat day, and so there was nothing odi now about these two farmer folks araons the others there. "To be sure, the man Is kindly enough. she said to herself, and so she let him take the baby In his arms. And then she was lad she was a.way from the city and !ta ulldlngs and Its museum whales and shops that fret the eye that Is used to traveling over fields of waving corn, and she looked out over the piazza-way. and fhe and ths husband and the farmer friends looVed uion the deep green swell of the home-like hl.Us and saw that they were good. And the babv was gone! y "What did you do with him?" asked Joe. the farmer husband, in a man's way; that came like a bolt. She was in an Insane asylum; it all came to her "In a way that things about iheir own young come to their mothers. And, too, the kindly man was gone. She listened, and they all listened and looked, but Iter ear caught the first sounu of the chili. It was laughing somewhere from above. It was ever so happy; for the man was tossing it, up and up higher and higher, and its little heart leaped for Joy, and the eye of the kindly man gleamed with the cunning consciousness of a new exper.cnce, and. perhaps, a broken shaft of what was once a home light came through - the -distant years to a brain whelmed beneath troubled waters. , There he stood at the edge of the roof, three stories up, tossing the baby. He was a maniac. And the baby was. in a frolic, and It was a strange Eport for the man. "What will he dor The woman fell under the horror of It In a dead swoon. Then the men counseled, while the baby went up and down and the counsel was not taken with waste cf word. Kvery wonl counted; for the baby was In a. frolic, as ha kept tossing it away up there In the air. Some suggested a feather bed in caw the little one should be thrown down. Dr. McGeachy suggested ladders to creep upon, the maniac, but where the sane mtti that can creep upon a maniac even with! ladders, the madman who pees every movement quick as an ape? The fire alarm was suggested: the words fell together helplessly and with despair. . Meanwhile Mr. Crawford was not idle; ho had gone Into the office, and he ran out withi a great slice of watermelon, and the baby was kept still In arms on the roof while the, man looked down at Mr. Crawford. "Com down. Colonel." said Mr. Crawford, "and let's have some melon. He salt it so quietly that the man looked again, and they all wondered for an Instant what ho would do. He hesitatedthat was the .upreme moment. "Come, Colonel," said Mr. Crawford, coaxlngly. The maniac turned deliberately, walked: to the manhole on the rocf, came down with, the baby, and his face had lost the wild gleam it wore on the oof. He looked at . the farmer mother In th same kindly way as he handed back the baby. CITY NEWS NOTES. The Central Labor Union will 'meet at Mozart Hall to-morrow night. Mr. and Mrs. J.
