HERE'S A PRETTY MESSl

What the Strife Over Robert CARROTS Bay
Window in Baltimore is Likely to Result
In - A Millionaire's Revenge - IL Comes
High. But He Must Have 1t.
BALTIMORE, MD, December 4.-The
bitter enmity which arose some months
ago between Robert Garrett, President OF
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and Mr..
Henry James, in regard to the portico
which Mr.. Garrett has put on the front of
Of his new house adjoining the Jones
mansion, on Mt. Vernon Place, has
assumed q decidedly interesting phase.
Mr.. James last summer applied for an in
junction against the completion of the
portico, and gained his case. Then Mr..
Garrett took 1t to the Court of Appeals,
where it now Is. During the past
twenty-four hours the residents
within the precincts of Mt. Vernon
Place, sacred to society and the famous
group of Barge statues, have been terror
stricken over report that Mr.. James had
said that in case the Court Of Appeals
decided against him he would give his
house and grounds next door to Mr.. Gar
rett's to colored orphan asylum. The
property is worth about $4,000, but as
Mr.. James is millionaire and the part
ner of Mr.. Enoch Pratt, who recently
gave the city over a million for free cir
culating library, he will probably not suf-
fer from want through his generosity.
Of course the wealthy Mt. Vernon people
are wild with anxiety, knowing that If Mr..
James should desire to wreak such sum-
mary vengeance on Mr.. Garrett there
would be no law to prevent him.

I1sroSs H1sroRICAL CHARTS.
An Ingenious N Practical Educational
Device.


An Ingenious and Practical EducationAi
Device.
One of the most ingenious and compre-
hensive of modern educational devices Is
Linton's Historical Charts" and it is i'm
possible to think of q scheme more practic-
ally perfect. The aim Of the author OF The
charts is to present q series OF pictures
:n.... che most important events oil
illustrating - al ~antemp.
American history nde by SIDE Wiz
oraneous European events, so arranged that.
with the aid of a variety Of symbols or type
signs, these landmarks of history shall be.
come indelibly impressed upon the mind OF
the student through the medium of the eye.
The series consists of FIVE charts, of which
each one covers q century, the period
from the fifteenth to the nineteenth, inclu-
sive, being dealth with. Each chart is d.
vided with one hundred squares, of which
each one represents q year. Most OF
these squares contain cuts representing the
principal American historical events OF thai
year, together with type-signs and symbols
recording contemporary events OF foreign
countries. There are ten row of squares, ten
in each row, and the years are counted from
the left TO the right, commencing at the top
left.hand squares. By this arrangement the
student is enabled, after a little practice, to
locate on the chart any year in a given cen.
tury without hesitation. How easily and
naturally the use of pictures aids children
in any study is perfectly well known, aud
the idea Of pressing illustrations into the
cource Of study like history whichis too often
made dry and uninteresting, is a most ex-
cellent one. The plan is founded up
on Bem's mnemonic system, and the To-
calizstion of facts in q striking and at the
same time simple manner, the interesting
variety of illustrations, symbols and type
signs, the additions of contemporary for
eign events, and, finally, mnemonic
method by means of the eye becomes a
powerful aid to the memory, gives these
charts advantages which will recommend
them to teachers ana pupils. The tracing
of the connecting relations between events
and periods will interest the student, and at
the same time fix in the memory, almost In
sensibly, the dates by which all historical
knowledge is kept in mind. This excellent
series has been introduced and adopted by
the Sisters of the Visitation, at Mt. De
Chantal, and have been warmly approved
by ex-State Superintendent Of Schools B.
L.. Butcher.
