originality should be kept.
The daily marks of reCitations is an
Objectionable system of marking, as it keeps
the pu5l's mind on his marks and not on the
subjects on which he is reciting. Children
should not know their marks until they see

Prof. Chapman inquired if there should be
any outward advertisement of marks.
Mr.. fash said that marks and monthly re-
ports on the basis of ten should be sent home
TO their parents.
Prof. Chapman asked if scholars in the
higher grades would be stimulated and inter

Mr. fash thought they could, but Mr..
Chase doubted it. He objects to the markin z
system, but sees no other method which will
attain the result needed.
Mr. Rounds thought that the average judg-

FALLS AFFIDAVIT.
A Statement From Special Counsel
Wells.

In an interview published in the afternoon
paper Frank ID. Fall is represented as saying
that the affidavit published over his name in
Fridays papers was garbled and doctored by
special counsel Wells to suit the interests Of
the department of justice, and in fact diff
fered in the essential particulars from his
original affidavit. Governor Wells attention
was called to the matter this evening, and he
made the following statement in reply: The
original of that paper. (Falls' affidavit) is in
the department of justice and has been there
since the filing of my report. The document
itself, Judge to be over 20 foolscap pages in
length, was drawn from Falls dictation word
for word, without change of a word, syllable
or letter. He states himself that it is true,
free and voluntary, and made without pur-
pose to color any fact or circumstance. With
out ever having compared portion of that
published on Friday last judge that it is a
verbatim COPY of all the document which re-
lated to Falls connection with the Brown
bribery. All Il 1T was said in relation to
Holmead l Judge was omitted, as was also
that portion of the affidavit in which Falls
describes the rebuke he received from the
attorney general when that officer heard that
Falls had presumed to have had any CONVEX
saton with juror Holmead. These omissions
were properly made, as judge, because the
publication had reference only to one trans
action, that of any connection with the Payne
and Foote attempt to bride Brown, which
was also the subject matter of complaint
against and in respect to which he waived an
examination.
The above statement of Governor Wells
was made in the presence Of Brewster Cam
eron, and was corroberated by that gentle
man in every particular. 1t is understood in
this connection that the counsel for William
Dickson will not waive an examination OF
that case but will have 1t thoroughly investi.
gated in the police court.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
OF Judge Lawson IN Dublin-The Wretch
Knocked Down and Captured-An.

alogae of Irish Agrarlanism.
DruyYv Nov II

DUBLIN, Nov IL.
A daring attempt was made this evening
to assassinate Judge Lawson in Clear street,
Dublin. while the judge was going to his
club. A Protection Police noticed lsuspi-
cious movements on the part Of an individ-
ual on the opposite side of the street. The
man was afterwards seen to cross toward
Judge Lawson and to put his hand in the
breast of his coat, whereupon he was
knocked down by the policeman and found
to be holding a x-chambered revolver.
The prisoner, who was taken to the station,
gave his name as Corrigan, which is known
to be false; he is known to be a foreman
carpenter, and as the affair is believed to
have originated in a secret society numerous
arrests are expected.
Judge Lawson evidently had narrow es-
cape from assassination last evening. Since
his appointment as one of the judges under
prevention of crimes act, and, more espec-
iallv, since the severe newspaper comments
upon him that he had never gone out without
police protection, he has received a large
number of threatening letters, and, 1t Is al
legged has been sentenced to death by a
secret tribunal. He was walking last even
ing from his residence on Meri street to
the Kildare Street Club House, followed
at distance of few yards by two cOnstables
ployed to assist the constables, kept him in
view from the other side of the street. The
party had nearly reached the club house

him somewhat hastily and said in contden-
tial manner. sit is all right" Mcdonnell
thought there was something suspicious in
the mans manner and walked as near him
as possible without attracting his attention
When opposite the club house the man
crossed the street and turned to meet Judge
Lawson. Mcdonnell. who in the meanwhile
noticed the butt of the revolver protruding
from the inner breast pocket of the man S

Mcdonnell received cut on the back of
of the head. The revolver is six chambered
one, Of unusually large size and the exact
pattern of those found in the house on Dosett
street where McMachon was shot some time
ago. On the way to the police station the
prisoners pockets were found to contain a
dozen cartridges. His real name is Patrick
Delaney, and he resides at Isl Cork street
in this city. He was formally charged, to-
day. with having feloniously attempted to
discharge a revolver at Judge Lawson, with
intent to murder. 1t is believed there were
persons besides Delaney engaged in the at.
tempt. The police know Delaney well as
report himself to them from time to time.

FROM WASHINGTON.
GARFIELD,S DOCTORS.
WARRINGTON Nov

WASHINGTON, Nov H.
Frank H. Hamilton of New York, in SUBJ
hitting to the board of audit his bill amount
ing to S25, 900. for services rendered the late
President Garfield. wrote to Judge Lawrence
as follows:
To Hon William Lawrence,
Dear Sir Il received your note calling my
attention TO the fact that the board of audit
was awaiting the presentation of any claim
against the estate of the late President.
Awaiting myself of your suggestion that may
make to the board any further communisa-
ton which may deem proper, 1 will say that
in the presentation of claim which know
cannot be paid out of the sum of money
placed at your disposal by Congress, my IT.
tention is only to indicate to you what l
regard as a minimum compensation for sim
liar services in the of a private citizen
who was pecuniarily responsible, and who
would not be embarrassed by such payment.
l will further say, that while do not make
for myself any relative claim. | must protest
against the presentation on the part of anyone
of the physicians in attendance of relative
claim to the effect that he is entitled to re-
ceive double the fee of any other physician
in attendance, which claim was
laid before the House committee and
may have been laid before your board,
Thanking you personally for the extra Of
fetal trouble you have taken in calling my
attention to this matter and dsclaiming any
intention in what have written TO instruct
the board or question its ability to perform
its duties inteligentiy.
am yours. respectfully,
FRANK II. HAMILTON.
The above letter was accompanied by a
specific statement of the services rendered.
At the conclusion of which DIR. Hamilton said.
These circumstantial statements l make
with great reluctancy, but they seem to be
rendered necessary by statements to the con-
trary contained in the report of the House
committee and obtained apparently from
sources which the committee considered re-
liable. Congress has chosen to place the
payment of the medical attendance upon a
partly business basis, and your board has
properly instructed the claimants to describe
the full services rendered" The sole item
have to present to your board, as a basis of
my claim, is my long attendance upon the
President as consulting surgeon with its ac-
companying responsibilities which God forbid
| shall ever again be called upon to bear.

The Garfield board of audit met at the treas
ury today and mapped out their plan of OPP
