St. Louis Republican: .sThere are those
however, who think the trial has not
been entirely in vain. This opinion
has an insufficient basis. The result
will rather confirm every peculator

contractor and straw bidder in the be-
lief that criminal responsibility can
never be fixed ON him, and the whole

they can conspire with impunity."

The calisthenic exercises were excellent.
The precision of movement through 80 many
motions and ~evolutions was remarkable, and
the ease with which the dumb bells were ms
nipulated and sustained in positions demand
ing strength of muscle proved beyond any
question that the lime devoted to this pur-
pose had been we'll spent. No parent will
for q moment hesitate as to which he will
choose for his child, If the alternative must be
sccepted-health or elaborate education. In
truth, as many schools are conducted, this is
the alternative. No girl can study for hour
after hour, neglecting exercise because tits
NOT required fher, and because b Is over
wesried by her mental work, and be healthy.
It IL very important that boys should have
proper exercise, but it is not, as al matured
persons know, half as important Is 1t Is In the
case of girls. Without 1t they are sure to
contract some Of those distressing silments
which are the curse Of life to so many women.
In no way are they 50 certain to obtain exercise
regularly as in agood calisthenic class. More
than this, it, is such exercise as brings every
muscle into play, and must, perforce, render
tight lscing obnoxious and almost impossible.
In the first placer no girl could stand up in
this class three days with q tight laced cor
set, and in the next, few girls who enjoy It's
benefits, and learn the value and the luxury
of an unimpeded, full respiration, will ever
care to make wasps of themselves at the ex-
pense of their vitd organs. We are decided.
ly of opinion that Prof. Kerdolf is doing a
wise thing in fostering this class in calisthen-
les and in making it a prominent feature Of
his school.

The speech delivered by General
Stephen, in favor of the adoption of
the Constitution may be seen on
pages 642, 3 and 4 of Elliott's debates
of that convention and does great
credit 20 his ability, eloquence and
patriotism. The speech is 50 hon
orable to him that it should be in,
corporated into this sketch but it is
too long for present publication.
Gen. Stephen died in Martinsburg
in 1901, possessed of a large real and
personal estate. His will, bearing
date the 5th of June, 1871, was ad-
mitted to record in the Winchester
District Court, at the September
term, 1871. He has left many de-
scendants in the States of Virginia
and West Virginia, and many col
lateral relatives, the grand children
of his brother Robert.
Gen. Stephen, at his death, must
have left many valuable papers in
the hands of his executors, and es-
pecially his military correspondence.
But after inquiry learn that not a
single paper has been preserved to
throw light upon his long and event.
full career. A sketch of his life can
only be cleaned from the general
histories and public records Of the
country.

Gently at Victoria, B. c., aged 81
years In 1907 he entered the
service of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, and within few years
had visited almost every portion
of the vast territory from Hudson
Bay to the Columbia River. He
visited Montreal in 1872, and Astor-
la, Oregon, in 1918. Afterward in
the Peace River country he spent
nine years without hearing his
mother tongue, or seeing the face
of a white person. Forty years
ago he was in charge Of old Fort
Kamloops, and one day, when al
most alone, was surprised by q
large party of Indians. invaded
the fort for the purpose OF plumber,
and, perhaps, murder. Quickly
knocking out the head Of one Of
several barrels of powder, he de-
liberateIy lighted match and
threatened to blow up the fort and
every one in it ii the Indians did
not instantly leave the neighb0r-
hood, which it is needles to say
they did. He was a member Of
the first executive council of Van
couver's Island, and held that
position several years, but retired
to private life about fifteen years
ago. He retained full possession
of all his faculties to the day Of
his death. a
