Something About Marvin College

To the Editor OF the Herald.
WANNuAcmG, April ~, lSS9.-Wnl you
spare me the space in your paper to criti-
size u very unjust act pcrpciratod upon our
citizens by Marvin college? Hoping YOU
will do so, will state the facts us briefly MS
possible, Marvin college is run by posse
OF Methodist diyincS, who arc very much
disposed to govern their institution strictly
on orthodox principles, SO much So in fact
that 1t is a hard task for the matrculatcs
attending to comply with their rules. All
scholars attending whether they bosr in
town or the college, are strictly forbidden
TO attend theatres, balls, sociablcs and, in
TACT, every place of amusement, or any
gathering OF any kind except church,
AMI that must be the Methodist.
Last Friday and Saturday nights
the Golden troupe visited our city,
and several of the scholars, who live with
their parents aud board with them, at.
tended. They were expelled the following
Monday morning, Notwithstanding the fact
that 81 \ or seven of the college professors
attended the theatre themselves. Our citi.
Gems feel very much inoensed over the mat.
ter, aud well they should be. What right
has school to dictate to parents whether
their children shall attend such places or
not? And what right has II to forbid resi-.
dent scholars not TO attend such places,
aud attend themselves? |, as a wrongcd

Breaking a Wheat Deal.

a Chicago dispatch says: On Change
Friday wheat advanced early and sold
off later, closing two cents below the
latest price Of the day before. The
boys accounted for the change by ex-
pecting the storm would soon give place
to long spell of fine weather. Those
who were behind the scenes, however,
had different reason to present. They
relate that Mr.. McGeoch and Mr..
Kershaw are owners of rival street car
lines III the town Of Milwaukee. The
former desired to lay tracks on certain
streets which were near the latter's line.
Mr.. Kershaw naturally opposed such Il
thing, and won his case. Mr.. Nc
Geoch vowed vengeance, and has been
quietly waiting for a chance to get
even with the triumphant Kershaw.
Now, say these tattlers, it is believed
by everal members of the board that
July wheat has been bought up by a
clique of Milwaukee operators. Among
the names gwen are Kershaw and
Plankinton. This syndicate is sup
posed to hold about 5000, 900 bushels
of July wheat, and IS endeavoring to
prevent a break in the market. Mr..
McGeoch, knowing the ciique's plans,
quietly put a score of brokers in the pit
and instructed them to sell june wheat.
They did so, and broke the market for
that month and July, forcing Mr..
Kershaw's party to put up lot of
money in margins and face shrinkage
of about 1926, GOO in the value of their
property. These scene shutters say
this is the way the head of the April
deal eyeued up with his adversary.

A FIVE-MILE SNAKE.
A Terrible Georgia Reptile which
Joints and Unioints Itself.

In our boyhood, says Georgia paper,
we often heard OF hoop-snake, one
that, bringing its head and tail together.
rolled over and over ike wagon-wheel.
It was said that this snake did its execu-
tion with its ta1l, that being pointed like
8 needle. We never had the terror O!
seeing one of them, but did, when about
eight years old, sec a iointed snake
The joints were about SIX inches long.
When alarmed the snake fell to pieces,
the head joint darling off like an arrow
to place of concealment. That was
the last snake Of the kind we ever saw
until quite recently we saw q hoop
ioiated snake. We were walking leisure
iy one day through our field close to an
old fence, which was near Il small branch
and marshy swamp.
Thinking of no evil, but rather i'm
agining that on that piece of ground we
could make bale of cotton to the acre
which would buy twice as much corn as
the land would make, all of a sudden
we were startled ont Of ourselves by
something rolling by us which looked
like the rim of n buggy-wheel withou
spokes. When it p ,ssed about tel
steps beyond MS, in making an effort to
turn, II accidentally struck the end of q
projecting rail. This must have
alarmed it, for all at oLce it went to
pieces, and the head JOINT darted
through q crack of the fence and into
the swamp as quickly as possible. Re
momberng the lointcd snake of our
boyhood, and that our grandfather had
told us if We would watch we would see
the head return for the joints left, as
badly as we were scared, we determined
to watch and wait the heads retnrn.
Not unmindful that we had been told by
them of old time that the only protec-
tion from hoop snake was 10 get be-
hind tree or stump On the opposite
side from the one it Was coming, We
took position behind an Old stump ard

slowly and cautiously through the crack
of the fence, raised itself TO au angie ot
forty-five degrees, looked in every direc-
tion. and then commenced the work 81
rejoining its body ana tail to its mead
This was soon done. Its next move
ment was to rear itself up perpen dici-

tail. As the head went up we distinctly y
saw that each joint po sessed India rub
ber qualities, for as 1t went up eaci
joint became extended until, when til,
perpendicular position was attained
the head was entirely out of sight. T.,
a mathematical calculation we ascer
tanned its head TO be little less thai

The Hired Cart Plan.

The plan of the murderers at Dublin
seems to have been copied alter methods
we'll known to criminals and policemen
in this city. And to that extent, we are
sorry to say, it bears ont the theory that
American Fenians may have had hand
III the dreadful work. Toe method may
be called the hired cart" plan. 1t has
been successfully used on three occa-
sions within few years III New York
and Brooklyn, in robberies. The Grim
inals hire covered express wagon or a
grocer's delivery cant, drive alongside
the victim, execute their crime, and
drive furiously away. The last time it
was used here was when several men in
a covered wagon overlook brewers
clerk in a quiet place in Lexington ave
robbed him Of the bag OF money he was
taking to the bank, and then got away.
The assassins apparently carried out
this plan in detail They approached
their victims in public car, common
i'll Dublin, did their work and drove off
rapidly. TIE crimes on the "hired cart
plan in this city have never been so
serious as to cause the police to make
every owner Of q public vehicle tell
where he was at the time the deed was
committed. but in Dublin now no trou-
BILE will he con iiered too great. Among

The Late Captain DE Long.
HOW HE CANE TO De APpoIErED A NAVAL
CADET.

Assistant District Attorney John
Oakley, OF Kings County, who knew De
Long from his boyhood, in conversation
with reporter, gave an account of the
early days of the intrepid lieutenant.
''He was one of the brightest, incest and
most intelligent boys that ever lived, !"
said Mr.. Oakley. 81 thought great
deal OF him aud took a pride in all that
pertained to his advancement. When /
first knew De Long should say he was
about fifteen years of age. I was notary
Of the Nassau Bank.
"After the fall of Fort Sumter
went to the war aud left George in
charge of my office business. Some
time after my return with the Seventh
there was an examination ordered in the
Greenwich street public school for II
cadet appointment at the United Stateg
Naval Academy, and De Long got it
into his head that he should enter the
navy. I knew Ben Wood, who was a
member of Congress and had the ap-
pointment of a cadet, and George
wanted ME to see Alr. Wood and ask
him for the place. did SO, and Wood
said I've got no appointment, as l
hava already made one Then / SAID :
We'll, Mr.. Wood, if you should have
an appointment to the Naval Academy
will you promise to appoint my young
friend. George w. De Long?' 'If ever
there is vacancy IN my power to fill
promise your friend shall have it.. One
morning soon after L came down to the
office and found George quivering with
excitement. He aad Just learned that
the cadet who had been appointed by
Ben Wood had been so afflicted with
impaired eyesight that he had resigned
from the Naval Academy. There was a
vacancy, and Ben Wood appointed De
Long to ill it. At that time the Naval
Academy was mt Newport, T. l., having
been removed from Annapolis. Profes-
sor Beecher who had been my teacher at
Flatbush, was professor of mathematics
at the Academy, and when De Long re
ceived his appoi2tment ] wrote letter
10 the Professor recommending e
yonng cadet 10 his friendship. also
obtained letter for him from Miss
Newton to the commandant of the Naval
Academy. The lady was cousin of
the commandant and was a sister of
Isaac Newton, engineer of the monitor
that fought the rebel feet off Fortress
Monroe. Then an obstacle most seri-
ous arose Unexpectedly. De Long had
passed credltable examination when
there came dispatch from Gideon
WeIles. the Secretary of the Navy, say
ing, Don't appoint Mr.. Woods ap-
pointee for the navy" Ben Wood had
been charged with secession principles
and hence the opposition from Washing
ton. George returned to New York aud
l got hlm letters 10 Secretary Weiles
and to President Lincoln and others at
Washington. ] told him to go on and
stay and see everybody until his case
was attended to. lie did so aud came
back in a day or two with his appoint
ment confirmed.

wooden clocks at twelve dollars apiece !
When they were done, he delivered
them himself to his customer, and
found it impossible to believe that he
should actually receive so vast n sum
as hundred and forty four dollars.
He took the money with trembling
hand, and buttoned it up in his pocket.
Then he felt an awful apprehension that
some robbers might have heard of his
expecting to receive this enormous
amount, and would waylay him on the
way home.
He worked but too steadily. He
used to say that he loved to work as
well as ne did to eat, and that some
times he would not go outside of his
gate from one Sunday to the next. He
soon began to make inventions and i'm
provements. His business rapidly in
creased, though occasionally he had
heavy losses and misfortunes.
His most important contribution 20
the business of clock-making was his
substitution of brass for wood in the
cheap clocks. He found that his
wooden clocks, when they were trans
ported by sea, were often spoiled by
the swelling of the wooden wheels
One night, in a moment of extreme
! depression during the panic OF 1897,
the thought darted into his mind, -
"a cheap clock can be made of brass
as well as wood y
! 1t kept him awake nearly all night.
He began at once TO carry out the
idea. It gave an immense development
to the business, because brass clocks
could be exported to all parts of the
world, and the cost of making them
was greatly lessened by new machinery.
1t was Chauncev Jerome who learned
how to make pretty good brass clock
for forty cents, and a good one for two
dollars and it was he who began their
expectation TO foreign lands. Clocks of
his making licked during his lifetime at
Jerusalem, Saint Helena, Calcutta,
Honolulu, and most of the other ends of
the earth.
After making millions of clocls, ana
acquiring large fortune, he retired
from active business, leaving his splen-
did mandatory at New Haven to the
management OF others.
They thought they knew more than
The old man they mismanaged the
business terribly, aud involved him in
their own ruin. He was obliged to
leave his beautiful home at seventy
years of age, and seek employment at
weekly wages-he who had given em
ployment to three hundred men at
once.
He scorned to be dependent. 1saw
aud talked long with tins good old man
when he was working on a salary, at
the age Of seventy-three, as superiu-
tendcnt of y large clock factory in
Chicago.
he did not pretend to he indifferent
to the change in his position. He felt
it acutely. He was proud of the spleu-
did business he had created, and he la
mented its destruction.
He said it was one Of his consultations
to know that, in tho course of his long
life, he had never brought upon others
the pains he was then enduring. He
bore his misfortunes as man should,
and enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of his new companions Youths Com
OQuiOn.

Not enjoyment. and not sorrow,

But TO act that each tomorrow
Finds lis farther than to-day.
Art is long. and Time is fleeting.
And our hearts. though stout and brave
Still. as muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches TO the grave.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb. driven cattle
BE 2 hero IN the strife
Trust no future. howe'cr pleasant
Let the dead Past bury its dead
Act.-acl in the living Present,

And. departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time
Footprints. that perhaps another,
