The constitution guarantees absolute
religious freedom Congress is prohibi-

establishment of religion, OF prohibiting
the free exercise thereof. The Terrific
ries of the United States are subject to
the direct legislative authority of Con-

the constitution in any of them. 1t is,
therefore reproach TO the government
that in the most populous of tine Terri

Is HE CRAZY2

WASHINGTON, Sept. l2.-At
seven o'clock last evening an at
tempt was made to kill Guiteau
in his cell. At that hour Battery
B. Second Artillery, was relieving
Capt. Graves command which
had been on duty at the Jail the
previous twenty-four hours. The
battery arrived in their wegons,
in the first of which was seated
first Sergeant Mason. As the
wagon drew up in front of the
jail, Mason jumped out and threw
his cap aside, and with a musket
on his shoulder proceeded to the
right wing of the Jail. A few
seconds brought him abreast of
the window through which Gui-
teau had been often seen. Put
ting his gun to his shoulder q
clear report rang through the
iail told the story of his inten-
ton and act. The ball erazed
Guiteau's head and penetrated
his coat which was hanging on
the side OF the cell. Sergeant
aMason surrended himself to hls
Recommending officer, Capt. Nc
gGilyey, who Immediately put
him under arrest. Mason is a
native Of Virginia, and has been
| nineteen years in the service. he
says he shot for the purpose OF
killing Guiteau, and is sorry ne
missed him. He had tired o'
riding over cobble-stones to the
Jail every day to guard the llie
of such a man as Goiteao, and
he made up his mind to kill bin

almost breathless. After the prayer
the teacher cooked a revolver ana
walked down on the floor.
1--WE will arrange the classes, he
said, call who can read, write and
spell will rise. Of them we will
form the first Glass;
Only six got up. He escorted
them to upper seats, and then he
began to examine the rest. A
whisper was heard behind him. In
a second he wheeled, revolver in
hand.
''No whispering allowed here!'
he thundered, and for an instant
his revolver lay on level with the
cross-eyed boys head.
''Fn not do so any more,''
gasped the bully.
"See you do not. 1 never give
second warming" said the teach
er, and the revolver fell.
1t took two hours to organize the
classes, but when done they were
well organized.
Then came recess. The teacher
went out too, for the room was
crowded and hot. A hawk was
circling overhead high in the air.
The teacher drew his revolver, and
the next second the hawk came
tumbling down among the wonder
ing scholars.
From that day on Harry kept
school for two years in Cranberry
Gulch, his salary doubled after the
| first quarter, and his pupils learned
to love as well as to respect him,
and the revolvers were out Of sight
| within q month.
They had found man at last
who could keep school. This is q
fact.

A BarbarOus German Duel.

Recently Lieutenant Won
Geyso, a young Prussian officer
of excellent parts and remarka.
bic promise, was shot to death
by one Of his comrades in
wholly unnecessary encounter.
So popular was this gallant and
amiabIe youth in Schweidt, the
garrison town where his regi-
ment was stationed. that hun
dreds of its civil inhabitants fol-
lowed his body to its premature
grave. The quarrel which led
to his deliberate slaughter was
absurdly trivial. One afternoon,
during some regimental gymnas-
tic exercise, Won Geyso refused
leap that had been taken by
several of his fellow officers.
Three of these, more 10 jest than
earnest, shouted out, You are a
coward" Won Geyso having
given frequent proof Of his per
sonal courage, took no notice of
these bantering exclamatioDs;
but a day or two later, finding
himself stunned at mess by his
comrades, he consulted his bro b.
er-in-law, Baron Won Richthofen,
as to the proper course to pur-
sue, AMI by this gentleman's ad-
vice, challenged the three officers
who were considered to have
publicly branded him with cow
ardice. 1t was agreed that all
three should meet him in sue
cessioD, and that he should ex-
change two shots With each ad-
versary. No serious consequen-
ces ensued from the first and
second encounters, but Lieut..
Won Wrochem, Geyso's third op-
ponent, shot him through the
heart at the first fire. killing him
upon the spot. The criminal
folly Of doeIling has never been
more revoltingly exempli6ed than
by this tragical ending OF fine
soldier, constrained by bis silly
associates 10 seek deadly salts

than learnin' to make man able
to teach school in Cranberry Gulch.
You'll soon find that out if you try.
We've had three WHO tried it on.
One lays there in the graveyard !;
another lost his eye; the last one
opened school and left before noon
time for the benefit of his health.
He hasn't been back since. Now
you're slender build, and all your
learnin' will only make it worse, for
all our young folks are roughs and
| don't stand no nonsense
This was what one of the trus-
tees of the district said to my
friend Harry Flotoe, when he made
application for the vacant position
of teacher.
"Let me try. I know 1 am
slender, but am tough and have
a strong will" said Harry.
"Jest as you like. There's the
school house, and I'll have notice
given if you want it done," said
the trustee.
'I do," said Harry s'and I'll
open next Monday at 9 a. NJ
The notice was given, and there
was a good zeal of excitement in
the gulch and along the Yuba flats.
More than fifty young people OF
both sexes made an excuse to drop
into the tavern to get sight at the
fellow who thought he could keep
school in that district, and many a
contemptuous glance fell on the
slender form and youthful face OF
the would-be teacher.
| Eight O. clock on Monday morn
| ing came, and Harry Flotoe went
down to the school house with q
KEY in one hand and valise in the
other.
"Ready to slope if he finds we're
too much for him." said cross
eyed, broad-shouldered fellow Of
1S.
| The school house was unlocked
and the new teacher went to his
desk. Some of the young folks
went to see what he was going to
do, though school was not called.
Harry opened his valise and took
out large belt. Then, after buck
ling it around his waist, he put
three Colts navy revolvers there
each six barrels, and a bowie-knift
eighteen inches in the blade.
| ssThunder! He means bust
ness!" muttered the cross-eyee
chap.
The new teacher now took out
| square card about four inches eacf
way, walked to the other end Of
the school house and tackled it III
against the wall. Returning to his
desk he drew a revolver from his
belt, and quick as thought sem
ball after ball into the card, til
there were six balls in a spot MOI
much larger than a silver dollar.
By this tine the school house
was half full OF large boys and
4 girls. The little ones were afraie
| to come in.
Then the teacher walked hal
wav down the room with bowie
knife in his hand, and threw it Will
| so true q hand that it stuck, quiv
ering, in the center of the card.
He left it there and quietly pu
two more of the same kind in hi
belt and reloaded his yet smoking
pistol.
Ring the bell; I sn about t

He spoke to the cross-eyed hoy
: the bully Of the croad, and the eo
rang ths bell without a word.
