A CORRESPONDENTS MISTAKE.
A Sequel to the Moss Suicide.

A Sequel to the Moss Suicide.
On the day following the suicide
of Mr. S. w. Moss, reported in oul
last issue, the correspondent of the
Nashville American sent dispatch
stating that Mr.. w. l.. Ragsdale, OF
this city, had on the Monday before
had Mr.. Moss life insured for $4,000
and that he held the policy in his
safe, that Moss was found dead Tues
day night and that when Mr.. Rags
dale heard about it he merely said
"pOOr fellow" aud went about his
business.
Mr.. Ragsdale was justly enraged
at this language and set himself
about to find the author of the dis
patch. j. l.. Edmundson, the Amer
leans correspondent, denied all
knowledge Of the affair when ap-
preached by Mr. Ragsdale, and sub
sequently wroleihim letter re-iterat-
ing his denial. Mr.. Ragsdale tele-
graphed TO the American demanding
the writer's name and on FRIDAY
Edmundson's name was furnished
him. The latter when notified of
this wrote letter to Mr.. Ragsdale,
making "A complete confession ard
manly apology and also sent a
dispatch Of correction TO the Ameri-
can. This second dispatch was I'M
fortunately worded and was not a
satisfactory retraction.
TWAS published Saturday. On the
same day Mr.. Ragsdale went to
Nashville to institute suit for libel
against the American, but as the
editor stated that he had been i'm
posed upon and promised to make sat
isfactory explanations, the suit was
not brought. On Sunday the letters of
Edmundson TO Mr.. Ragsdale were
published in the American and all
explanation was made, satisfactory
to Mr.. Ragsdale and the matter will
not be carried further.
THE FACTS ABOUT THE INSURANCE.
Mr.. Moss had his life insured in
the Southern Mutual Co., on Saturday
May 9th and gave an order on the
warehouse firm of Hancock, Fraser Il
Ragsdale for $l5G,50. This was paid,
but Mr.. Ragsdale was absent and did
not even know of the circumstance.
This money was advanced on Moss
tobacco crop.
The statements rejecting on Mr..
Ragsdale were based on misinforma-
ton. Mr.. Edmundson seized upon
some idle rumor aud very thought.
lessly aud unadvisedly jumped at
conclusion and sent dispatch, with
out thinking what the consequences
would be. lie very much regrets
the whole affair and realizes that he
made a grave mistake, and will prob
ably be taught valuable lesson by
his experience. Mr.. Ragsdale is one
Of our best citizens aud most reputa-
bic business men and we have given
this review of the matter in order to
set him right before those who may
have heard exaggerated and incorrect
versions of the affair.
Mr.. Edmundson was seen by
South KENTuCKIAN representative
yesterday and stated that he had no
intention to do Mr.. Ragsdale an in
justice and that he denied the author
ship of the piece at first because he
TO correct the mistake and
thought all would be right without
letting the writer's identity be known.
His statements were made upon ru-
mors which turned out to lie entire
ly without foundation in fact.

 The Princess of Wales was attired ln a pale sea- blue silk dress, relieved with schumacher, on which were embroidered tiny sprays of pink flowers. These were also showered upon the overskirt, the under one being pale-blue silk. kilted in marrow verti- cal bands. little chip straw bonnet, trimmed with pink roses, another bunch where Her Royal Highness' favorite flower is always worn-contiguous to the left shoulders diamond ornament and gants de Suede completed one of the most taste full and becoming dresses of the day.
 The Duchess of Edinburgh wore a silk dress of a steely brown hue ribbed with dark brown bands. A black straw bonnet, relieved with tuft of corn-colored ribbon and plastron of rich gold embroidery, with bold Oriental arabesques to the right and left, made a most effective dress, the overskirt being worn to the right side and revealing broad sweep of golden braid on the left. The obtrusive presence of brick red sunshade, however, which by some evil rnisehance the Duchess carried, quite spoiled the harmony of most graceful combina- tion.

Monster Midsummer GIGANTIC SALE
STOP! THAT WILL DO !!

We simply meant to say we had now begun to make our goods cheaper in order to get all the summer goods sold in time. Cheap enough to make sure of all being sold before the end of the season.
 But we thought we would try a little of the highly intelligent style of advertising now so com mon in this good old town, and we copied some of the brightest gems. Our goods will not be any cheaper on that account. Nobody's goods are any cheap CT because they advertise in that way.
 OUR GOODS WILL BE MADE CHEAP ENOUGH TO SELL THEM, and to sell them in the face of the keenest competition possi- ble in New Haven.
 It is a we'll known fact that our stock is usually cleaner of old goods-that means, is more effectually cleared out" every season than any other of the size in town.

AR0UT SCHOOL sYsTRMs.

They have school system in England such as would delight some of the "educa- tors" of this country. The whole of England and Wales is divided, for school purposes, into ten great divisions, over each of which is placed senior inspector. These divisions are again cut up into districts, eleven dis tricts on an average going to each division. The oversight of each district is intrusted to one or more ordinary inspectors, with a staff of sub inspectors and assistants, thus making altogether ten senior inspectors, one hundred and eleven ordinary inspectors and one hundred and sixty-nine assistant inspec- tors Each year these subordinates send in to the chief authorities suggestions as to of examination, and, after careful consider ation by the chief inspectors, those of the suggestions that are considered worthy of acceptance are sent out in printed form.
 A report of this kind has just been issued, and it is not surprising to learn from 1t that the school system of England and Wales is more than suspected of being too systematic, and an attempt is made to provide for lit tie loosening of the rigidity. Thus, in the mdUCSF Ol GAle AAiSPoS'AOAA, |" AA"3 DSo1A found that the embarrassment of young scholars prevents them from showing what they know to the best advantage, and it is proposed to have the class and the teacher judged. in these inspections by taking sam ples, so to speak, from the entire class at haphazard; the teacher to be given the right to add to the number of those thus selected three or four scholars whom he or she be- lieyes to be the brightest in their class. In this way, it is thought, a tolerably fair aver age will be struck of the progress that the entire class has made during the year.
 It is encouraging to see that some of the educators of England and Wales can suspect that they have too much system. And it would be still more encouraging to see sus- picion of this kind spread throughout the systems of this country, and even insinuate itself into the almost perfect system of which Superintendent Dutton is the chief system alizer. There is too much uniformity in most of the school systems. As they are run they are very much like machines, into which the children are put, without regard to race, color, or previous condition, and ground out with much zeal, if not with discretion. Those who take kindly to the grinding fare the best, but those who do not are ground all the same The result is painful uniformi- tv in what the children don't know.
