An Old-time Decision.

One of the decisions of TheophluS Her
rington, a Judge of the Vermont Supreme
court from 1903 until 1913, is recalled.
Under the original fugitive slave laws an
attempt was made To procure Il warrant
for the eNtraditiOn of Il negro who was
claimed as IA slave, and the case stood for
hearing before Judge llcrrngtOn The
attorney for the plaintiff made out what
he regarded IA priRu tucjC case, and then
rested but the judge intimated that
the title to the slave was not satsfac-
torily established. Additional evidence
oral and documentary, was then put in,
and again the attorney rested his case,
only to be again informed by the judge
that the 'StimOny was insufficient, An
other att IT was made and proof was

tors bclo.. .'u had, time out of mind of

\ member of Mr.. Bccchcr's church eN-
presses surprise in the New York TrihuHC,
that Mr.. I}eecher should undertake to
quote words spoken in conversation seven
years ago. He says Mr.. Becchcr has,
and he often cOnfeSseS that he has, no yer
bal memory. He acknowledges that he
can scarcely quOtea text of scripture cor
rcCtly, and those who have heard him
make the attempt know that he usually
gives the first phrase of II text correctly
and gives only the general meaning of the
latter part. He cannot rcCOllcct engage
ments, and at least one family left the
congregation through his failure to re-
member the funeral of child after en-
gaging to provide for the service He
has kept wedding party waiting at Ply
mouth Church for over an hour because
he forgot the engagement until he CHANGED
to return and was reminded of the ser
vice.
one of the most amusing instances of
his lack of memory occurred within II
year. when he was announcing al. evening
service. He began somewhat as follows {;
"There will be II service this evening, with
preaching by my SOn-in-laW, the Reverend
Samuel then he stopped and repeated,
"Thc Reverend Samuel -Samuel-what is
his other name | know the first name is
samuel, as call him sam. - Finally
Assistant Pastor Halliday relieved him of
his embarrassment by calling out, SEQ
vlle.'
This defect of Mr.. Bcccher's mind is 50
familiar to his friends that engagements
for Mr. BreChcrs presence are usually
made through Mrs. Becchcr or Mr.. llali
day. No one who knows Mr. Bcechel
| doubts that he intends to tell the truth
but it is II question whether insisting on
the truth of Il statement which has only
the basis of an inhrm memory is not Us
injurious as telling a falSehOod.

Sanitation in Schools.

| The City of Wilmington is apparently not
the only one in which tlielo has long existed
palpable disregard of tlS first requisites of
healthy school rooms, viz proper system
of ventilation and drainage. The one is as
necessary as the other. Ventilation secures
to children and teachers preservation from
the perils of re-breathed air, but if the
"fesh" air admitted to the class rooms is to
be tainted with odors Of the out-premises
set apart for sanitary purposes then the
authorities controlling the schools have
merely exchanged one evil for another.
+, The Philadelphia Times thus plainly indicates
the sanitary defects Of the schools in Phila-
delphia and the methods which should be
pursued to remedy them:-
| The sanitary committee of the Board Of
| Health, which has been making a tour of the
| four hundred school houses of this city, that
| are soon to be thronged with thousands of
children, make very gloomy report Of their
sanitary eonditior According % this state
ment the system of drainage with which
many of the buildings are supplied is faulty
in design and badly managed. 1t appears to
| be made up off series of wash-basns without
| t aps and closets without either traps, soil
pipes, ventilation or flush tanks.
The sources of the difficulty are twofold-
the want of an architect who understood the
sanitary requirments of buildings which
were to be the daily homes Of thousands of
children and the want of money to make the
| necessary improvements. In other words, the
| school buildings of this city seem to have been
constructed ON the cheapest possible plan,
without any real regard for the health and
comfort of the inmates. To add to the orig
nal sanitary evils of faulty construction the
| buildings seem to have been in charge Of per-
sons who neglected to make any good use of
| TIE imperfect and faulty methods of drainage
| and ventilation which were provided.
| The first requisite to reform and improve
ment in any department is to have full
| knowledge of the evils to be corrected. The
report of the committee furnishes this aid the
Board of Education should proceed to apply
the remedy as rapidly as possible If there
isn't money enough Council must appropri-
ate more If taxes cannot be increased, then
other things must stand still for a while. The
health and lives of the children in our public
schools are OF the first Importance and the
public can afford to ride over rough streets
and stay the building Of ornamental towers
for few years longer if necessary in order
to secure healthy school houses and water
that won't poison everybody that uses it..

The Coming Fair.

The fair to be held at Schuetzen Park
this city, next week, has gratifying out

be success. The work of repairing and
fitting up the buildings and stalls is going
on, and everything will be in readiness.

tries are coming in and indicate full show
of everything. The races will be all filled
and fine sports can be expected. The ladies
who engage in the racing contests, Thurs
day and Friday, are here and practicing on
the track and each will do their best to win.
Parties who contemplate visiting the fair,
will find it to their interest to take some
thing to exhibit, as besides there being 10
charge for entering, exhibitors are allowed
to pass in at one half the regular price of
admission.
This is the first opportunity that the peo-
PIE of this city and surrounding country
have had for several years to exhibit their
resources, and 1t is believed that they will
secure the permanency of the institution.

Wilmington Chess Club.

The progress made in the formation of
the new chess club is something exit haurdin-
airy, upwards of forty members having been
already enrolled. Some of these are not
chess players, but will study the game, and
avail themselves of the advantages of the
whist table which will be part Of the club
programme. Among the chess players three
are ranked in the first class, AIessrs. Bernard
w. Fisher, John II. Price and George Tat
nall. Messls. William ]. Ferris, Walter
Bacon, Willard Salisbury Junior, L. A.
Bcrtolettc, Austin w. Matthews, Lilburne
Chandler, ]. b. Bell and ]. w. Tatnall are
also strong players. 1t is contemplated to
| commence a series of matches between the
| members, each playing the other in turn till
| a definite conclusion can he reached as to
individual strength. AT present writing the
| club is estimated to be strong enough
| to hold its own against the Now Orleans ol
Philadelphia, and the chances are that it will
become one the leading chess clubs in the
country. Among other gentlemen who havt
signed applications for membership are
NIessrs Jphn Palmer, NJ. D., II. W. McIn

the absence of color, plainly proclaimed the

1t is matter of never-ending wonder to
the visitor to cur shores why American girls
display such morbid horror of a passing
breath of air revealing superfluous inch of

cernedly on the beach in the summer season,
with their limbs bare from the knee down

Of the fact that half dozen lounging satyrs
around them are peering with the same
familiarity at their open bosom, that would
be displayed in looking at the pictures in a

In theory all this is natural enough. But
we do not live in an Arcadian age, and the
moral links Of this social freedom on the
sands are about as fragile as the bonds Of
platonic friendship. Despite the saying that
to the pure all things are pure, we hold tc
the belief that the whole system of promis

The Quadrangular Conflict.

Candidates Blaine, st. John, Butler and
Cleveland having formally accepted the
nominations from their respective follow
ings the quadrangular conflict may now be
regarded as being open; and while ordinarily
StJohn's canvass would be regarded as side
issue and Buffers as a monstrous burlesque,
yet in a closely contested issue the result
may be materially influenced by st. John
and Butler.
The pertinent question is, which Of the
leading candidates will be most seriously
affected by the side issues injected into the
presidential campaign?
From this distance it is only too apparent
for Republican supremacy that Blaine must
suffer in direct ratio to the number Of votes
cast for either st. John or Butler, and why !?
Ohio, State that has been generally con
ccded to Blaine, will be held trembling in
the Republican balance until it is settled,
per adventure that the Prohibition vote will
not go to St. John; with the large Prohibi
ton vote Of Ohio to the temperance cand
date, Blaine will lose twenty-three electoral
votes Kansas is legitimately Republican
State, but the uncertain quantity of st
Johns strength is causing great deal o
anxiety in the minds of Mr.. Blaine's polit
ical managers-St John out of the field til
