A WISCONSIN SCANDAL.

CHARGES OF GROSS IMMoRALTTR AGAINST
TIE PRINCIPAL OF DEAF AND DUMD
INSTITUTE
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 4.-Cyrus L. Will
liams, formerly teacher in the Delevan
(Wis. J Deaf and Dumb Institute, publishes
to-day long letter in the Tribune relating
the details of scandalous proceedings whic h
he witnessed at the institute between Pr1n-
cipsl Dellotte, Stewart Woodbury., the uAale
teachers, and the female teachers and
pupils. M .El
He charges that the worst OF the d. sgrace-
full business has not yet been told, and that
the recent investigation was merely "whits-
wash" applied by ring of politicians.
He quotes confessions by half dozen fe-
male pupils, giving their names, indicating
seduction by the male teachers, especially
Woodbury. and Valentine, and giving
statements by many others that attempts
we're made upon them. 1t was common
thing for both the boys and girls Of the
institute to find these men and the lady
pupils locked in private, and they were
frequently seen coming out In mussed or
flustered condition.
Principal Dellotte, it is said, was caught
many times hugging and kissing lady
teachers and pupils and went into secluded
parts of the hall with them or strolled In
the groves with his favorite girls. Some of
them confess that he attempted more than
hugging and kiesing with them. Mr.. VII
liams claims that In his attempts to expose
these gross practices he has been insulted
and wronged. He claims that the large
female pupils and the lady teachers who
succeeded in maintaining their honor and
respect were driven from the institution.
Williams says he will soon issue pamphlet
giving complete details of this Infamous
scandal.

A DISAPPOINTED BURGLAR.
TRYING TO ROB A MAN AND BEING CAP
TURED BY Him.

TRYING TO ROB A MAN AND BEING CAP
TURED BY HIM.
Shortly before 4 o'clock a. NJ. last Mon
day, Mr.. &. e. Remick, salesman, who
has q room on the fourth floor of the St.
Nicholas hotel, New York, was awakened
BY slight noise. He turned over in bed
and saw man bending over him. He
sprang up, and the man. raising his arm
and pointing at Mr.. Remick, what in the
dim light appeared to te pistol, ex-
claimed:
"--you, if you move I will shoot
you"
''Shoot and be -" Mr.. Remick re-
piled, as he threw himself on the stranger.
A sharp struggle followed, and the intruder
found himself with his arms closely pin
ioned. .~.
"Shoot me, if you like" he cried, ''but
don't have me arrested"
Mr.. Remick then called for help, and a
watchman who was descending staircase
near by went 10 his assistance. Then Mr..
Rogers, the hotel detective, was sum-
moned and the man was examined. 1t
was found that be was guest Of the hotel
who had arrived Saturday morning, and
who had registered as Charles Bergman,
of Boston. He was bareiooted, and was
dressed only in flannel shirt and pair
of drawers. In his hands he had Mr..
Remick's watch and chain, shirt studs,
cuff buttons, and pocket-book containing
$40, the whole property being valued at
about 81, 900. He also had the key OF the
door, which was the weapon that he had
pretended was a pistol. Mr.. Remick
asked him what he was doing in the room,
and he answered, II came to get your
stuff" He admitted that he entered the
room by means of the window, and in
order to do this was obliged, after leaving
his own room, which was disgonally oppo-
site to that Of Mr.. Remick, to get out Of a
window in the hallway. which runs at
right angles with Mr.. Remick's appart-
ment, and step across gap Of about four
feet. This he did without any noise or
hesitation, although, if be had missed his
footing, he wonld have fallen from the
fourth TO the first story, into the inner
court Of the hotel.
After the man had entered Mr.. REM
icks room, the window Of which was open,
and had taken the jewelry and pocketbook
from the top of the bureau, he attempted
10 leave by the door. This was bolted
and locked, however, and the key was not
in the lock. The thief tI.en returned to
the bureau, and in searching for the key
caused the noise that awakened Mr.. Rem
ick.

The Turco- Russian war therefore will re-

result OF modern European wars. The first
act Of Austria after Its defeat III 'G6 was to
grant the Hungarians rights which 1t had con

moment 1t was defeated at Sedan, threw off
the rotten empire and established a republic.
and Turkey, at the very threat Of war, grant

died In vain In the past. War, aftete.ll, brings
forth some good fruit. 1t Is n noteworthy

The constitutional amendments come up
for debate In the House to-day. We sincerely
hope they will not be railroaded through that
body rs they were through the Senate The
amendment relative To the judiciary is en-
tirely insufficient 1t is crude and ill-digested,
and will serve rather to einbarrass than facili-
tate the administration Of justice in the par
ishes. The abolition of the parish judges may
be a measure of retrenehment. but the incon-
venience will be a greater burden to the
people than tho present expense. 1t
would be better to increase the jurisdiction
Of the parish Judges. abolish the district
Judges and provide for four or five circuit
Judges, who. with the parish Judges Of their
circuit, would constitute intermediate up
RELATE courts with exclusive jurisdiction In
causes involving as much as twenty I've hun
dred dollars. This system would give the
people Of tho parishes constant access to the
courts. promptly empty the iails Of their in
mates facilitate the trial Of civil suits, and
relieve the Supreme Courtoof part of ias Inn
mense labor. o
OF course this is a crude suggestion. hut
certainly it would be Il better system than the
present which is better one than that pro-
posed In the amendments.
At any rate. let these amendments be dis
cussed. that we may see what Is in them.

The Mississippi Legislature has had before
it for some time a bill establishing the whip
ping-post In that State FOR petty crimes and
otfenses There seems to be some hesitation
in passing It, although a large portion of the
people and press of Mississippi favor this
measure, which. they believe, will ut the Same
time save them the immense cost OF feeding
idle criminals, and prevent those petty. but
repeated, raids on the crops that make plant
ing almost wholly Improbable in the South.
In Kentucky. the Legislature was holder,
and did not hesitate long over this measure.
A whipping post bill was offered short time
ago, and last week passed the House almost
unanimously, In utter disregard Of that sent-
mentality that encourages crime by refusing
to punish 1t.
In California similar measure is being
earnestly pressed before the Legislature. and
