NATIONAL AID TO RDUoATI0g.

There is good reason to think that the
nationuI educational bill passed by the
Senate will not be acted upon by the House.
It was only got through the Senate by great
pressure. The bill as passed by the Senate
is not much like the original Blair bill By
Che amendments the total amount of aid to
be granted was reduced nearly $50, 1000. 900.
and the sum for the first year diminished
more than one-half-to Zoo. .o00 The
amount is increased to $4,000, 900 the Sec
ond year, and $15, 600, 600 the third, and
then is diminished $4,000, 900 yearly until
the expiration Of the eighth year, whea the
aid ceases.
The bill as 1t stands contains eleven gener-
al provisions. These are: That seventy
seven millions of dollars shall be divided
among the States for common schools in
eight years, according to illiteracy, upon the
basis of the census of 1880; that all States
shall make return of the way in which their
schools are managed and the money expend
ed; that schools be maintained for all chill
dren, without distinction of color or race;
that the moneys thus given the States be paid
on call of the Secretary Of the Intsrior, 10
whom is intrusted the apportionmsnt and
expenditure of money in the terri
tories; that instruction In common schools
thus aided shall be confined to the
common English branches, except that
part not exceeding ons-tsnth that allowed
any State may be used for normal schools;
that no greater sum shall be paid In any one
year to any State than she raises for common
schools the year before out of her own reve,
nues; that none OF this bounty shall be used
for building school houses; that the money
shall be used so far as possible to equalize
the school privileges of all children Of suit
able age in each State; that the
governor of each State shall make full
returns on all matters relating TO the
schools each year to the Sscrstary OF the
Interior, and If any State has broken any
condition of the gift, she shall aot recsivs
further allowance; and such action, If any,
by the secretary shall be reported to the
President; and the Commissioners of educA
ton shall report annually to Congress she
practical operation of the law, and briefly
the condition of common and Industrial sduA
cation as affected thereby throughout the
country.
This appears to be about as wise measure
as any such measure could be expected to be,
though it would have been better If the pre-
vision restricting participation to States
having nine per cent. or more of illiseraoy
had been adopted. AS we lock st it, how
ever, the whols plan, If carried out, May be
productive of aboat as much harm as good.
Anyway, il will bear thinking about some
more, and it is therefore net . matter to
grieve over that the House Is not likely to
do anything with IL.

Notes in New York.


NEwlYoRK, April 9Th.
To the Editor of the JobRHAL AND COURIER:
am sitting on one of the public seats in
Washington square. New York, in the bright
April sun. We have had 60 little of It lately
thas it is all the more enjoyed now This
forenoon / have been walking about Nav
York and Brooklyn and have fully spioyed
she frequent sight of EASTER flowers" seen
everywhere, both worn and for sale in real
and artificial varieties. Mover before we're
such eolorings shown to sight or as many
kinds displayed Each year the preceding
year is placed in the shadow, and so il goes
on. Visiting the different retail stores on
Broadway and the avenues I find that the
larger places report an extra good business,
while smaller ones complain. BrookIyn
has just produced another large
concern, the principal owners being from a
well known Boston house. Their opening
town, and never before did your correspond.
ent see such nnagnifcence in the display of
goods. The wholesale houses report fair
trade. I inquired of many of the leading
firms concerning the outlook and all agreed
that IL was just fair only. And the activity
shown by the salesmen and buyers only CON
frmed the expression. Going mp Fourteenth
street saw one of New Haven's well known
lawyers proceeding towards Sixth avenue.
and going mp Broadway q little later saw
the daughter of one of New Haven's well
known deacons taking q stroll I must say
that the Yankees need not take
q back seat in general looks and appear
ances when ia this great city
and their manner and ways tell one at
once of their nativity.
While writing this am waiting to keep an
appointment with one of the sharpest busi-
ness men ever met. He is a native and
genuine Scotchman. I saw him few mo-
ments this morning and we fixed an hour for
q general meeting this afternoon, when (as
he expressed it)s'the boys from the shop will
be over" meaning the superintendent of the
Elizabethport works and his assistants. We
are to arrange for the building of those ma
chimes in quantity of which you have often
spoken In your paper and which were the
invention of the lamerted and much loved r.

Hon. Morrison r. Waite,

Chief Justice of the United states.
In the quiet old rural town of Lyme, Con
neeticut, still stands the house where Morri-
son Renwick Waite was born, November 29r
1916. Mr.. Waite entered Yale college at the
age of seventeen and graduated with honor in
1887 in class which included William M.
Evarts, Edward Pierrepont, Prof. Silliman
and others who have become distinguished
men He then began the study Of law In his
fathers cfioe In Lyme, but finished his
studies in the Office of Samuel III. Young,
then prominent attorney In Maumee City,
Ohio. In 1889 his preceptor took him into
partnership, and in 1850 the firm of
Young & Waite removed to Toledo, Ohio,
and established q large and successful
practice. few years later Mr.. Waite's
younger brother was admitted to the bar
and partnership was formed consisting of
the two brothers, which continued up to the
time of the formers appointment to his ples-
ent high position by President Grant Jsnu-
ary Goth, 1874.
Politically Mr. Waite is Republican, but
he was always too deeply engaged ia his pro-
fession to become much of partisan or
party leader. To all the war measures of the
government he gave earnest and effective
support. In 1S49 Mr.. Waite was elected to
the Ohio Legislature as q Wing. In 1862 he
HAS Reluctantly u C6Guluht0 AOE OOuSECSog OAS
was defeated by Edwin NJ. Phelps. There
after other nominations and appointment
were rendered him, but he refused to acce p
any of them. t
Mr.. Waite was CONSPICUOUS character in
the great Geneva Tribunal as one Of the
Unitsd States counsel and he performed his
arduous task to his great credit and to the
entire satisfaction of his government. He
thereafter returned to Toledo and resumed
his practice, and in 1878 was chosen presi~
dent of the Ohio, State Constitutional con-
vention. Upon the death of Chief Justice
Chase there was intense interest throughout
the United States to know who would be his
successor. After the successive nomina
ton of Hon. George Fl. Williams and Hon.
Caleb Gushing and the withdrawal OF their
names President Grant then selected
Mr.. Waite and his appointment was con.
frmed by unanimous vote in the Senate.
1t is the glory and security of nation to
have its highest place of justice filled by
men Who like Chief Justice Waite, add to the
loftiest official character that purity of life,
urbanity of manners and generous bensf-
ceRca which diatipOuish him

Father Lambert of Waterloo, Nev York,
comes forward with some interesting talk
about the Blaine family and the vexed ques-
up With the Blaine boys. Their mother and
all the Gillespies were ardent Catholics. OF
the Gillespies he says: 1.-THE men were brave
and stalwart; as strong in character, too, as
they we're stout of limb. The women were
very handsome, and carried themselves as
proudly as though the blood of q hundred
earls were coursing through their veins. The
beauty of Mrs. Blaine, James mother, pass
ed into a proyerb. Even in her deorepit age
she preserved much of her early attractive
mess, and her eye was like q hawks, as clear
and flashing then as in the days of her bud
ding womanhood. This was popularity of
her family, and she transmitted it to all her
children" All the children were brought up
as Catholics, he says. He cannot speak of
the two elder brothers with certainty, but he
knows about the younger brothers. and he
and John Blaine used to serve mass together,
and were made fun of together by the little
misohievous Protestant boys. AS to James
g., Father Lambert says he has not the
slightest doubt that he was baptized q Oath
oIic and was confirmed at Brownsville by
Bishop Kendrick of Philadelphia In 1889.
But, he says, "James left home while yet
very young, and before his religious convic-
tions could have bsen thoroughly formed.
After that his education was Protestant,
the influences exsrted upon him were Protes-
tant. she whole atmosphere in which he lived
vas Protestant. Thus educated, influenced
and living, he, naturally enough, fell away
from the faith in which he had been reared,
and attached hiAasslf to another denomina-
tion." He does not regard Mr.. Blaine as
''pervert,'' and that he is Protestant to-day
he has no doubt.

Mr.. Pagan Very Much Alive.
Providence Journal.

Rf0D6dence journal.
About O'Clock in the evening, Under
taker Quinn received message by tele-
phone informing him that Felix Pagan,
whom he knew well, had died suddenly,
and that he was wanted Immediately to at
tend to the body. He was also instructed
to bring his largest freezer. Mr.. Quinn
made the necessary preparations by chop
ping up 200 pounds of ice, and in due time
he appeared in front of Mr.. Fagan's house
with his freezer and two assistants. They
entered the house, and after vOuchsafing
some cOnsolatory remarks to Mrs. Pagan,
who was genuinely surprised, they in
quired which room the body was in.
''What bOdyY' she inquired. "Your hus-
band's," was the reply. She remained to
hear no more. but ran out of the house,
shrieking at the top of her voice. 1t hap
pened that Pagan was in the barroom
of his brOther-in-law, John Rourke, a
short distance away, when the undertaken
and his assistants called, and his wife,
when informed that they wanted his body,
hastily arrived at the conclusion that he
had been killed in groggery broil. She
entered her brothers. barrOom screeehing
and calling for "Felix." "What's the
matter, Kate?' inquired that worthy,
thoroughly aroused by his wife's sudden
and excited appearance. 'Where's Fe-
liXY' said she, not recognizing her hus-
band in the excitement. "Here l am.
Kate; what's wantedr His voice Gained
her, and looking steadily at him for a
moment, as if to make sure of his identity,
she rushed into his arms and burst into
tears. She then informed her husband
that Undertaken Quinn was waiting at
the house to clay him out" ''Bedad,"
said Felix, ''but I'll lay him out when
/ 90 up there for frightening me darl-
ing wife," Matters were finally ex-
planned. and the undertaken and his
assistants carried back the freezer and
huge candlestick to be used on a less
lively corpse. The jokers, however, did
not confine their pranks to the under
taker, but sent word to Fagan's relatives
and friends near at hand, and about three
hundred called at the house during the
night to pay their respects to the dead by
attending the wake and drinking some of
the whisky, and smoking some OF the to-
baccO usually found at such gatherings.
The supposed corpse was found seated
with his wife, smoking his pipe, and many
eyes that glistened with tears of sorrow
turned to tears of gladness. The owners
of those eyes given a fearful expression
for the occasion went away probably dis
appointed. 1t is needless to say that
Pagan swears eternal vengeance against
the perpetrators of the joke, should he
find them out. There was considerable
excitement in the neighborhoOd, and it is
estimated that there were over five hun
dred people in the vicinity of Fagan's
hOuse.
