AR ROK DAY.

The Logan schools are making
preparation for the celebration OF
arbor day. Each department will
plant a tree in honor of some Amer
lean poet. The exercises will con-
sist of lessons, lectures, essays, dec
lamation and reading relative to the
uses, beauty, benefit and growth Of
trees. There will also be selec tt ons
from the writings of the poets in
whose honor the trees will be plant
ed. The programe is to be enlivsn-
ed with music suitable to the oc-
casion. Much of the exercises will
be conducted in the school ROOM
The out door work will be con-
fined to the dedication and plant
ing of the tree, a recitation or two
and song after which all the chill
dren will be addressed by an orator
of the dry, OIL trees in general.
just when the exercises will take
place has not yet been determined.
1t will depend somewhat on the
character of the weather and the
will of the Governor, who proclaims
the day.
Ifthis should be too late for the
planting of :rees. the preliminary
planting of the trees will take place
sooner and the planting will be fin
lshed by the scholars at the proper
time.
The Board of Education have
wisely decided to furnish the trees.
The teachers have selected their au-
thors and the kind of tree to be
D ianted. The children are at work
learning their pieces and writing
their essays and everything rromis-
e. q treat when the day arrives.

THE FRENCH DEFEATED,

| Con. Ncgricr Wounded and His Army In
Full Retreat before the Chinese.
PARIS, March, se.-Au official dispatch
from Gen Briere De L'Isle, dated March %,
was received at the war Office, detailing
further disaster to the French forces in
China. The Chinese attacked the French at
! kilua and drove them from their position
with serious loss, the French falling back
upon LAngson, pursued by the Chinese. A
determined stand was made at Lengson, where
the fleeing army was reinforced by the
French troops occupying that place, and a
desperate battle was fought Of several hours
duration. The French were finally compelled
to retire from Langson, leaving the Chinese
in possession OF the city. Gen. Negrier was
dangerously wounded in the chest. The
total number of killed and wounded is very
large. Gen. Negrier's army is now in full
retreat, and closely pursued by the Chinese
Gen De L'Isle implores the government to
send reinforcements at once.
The news of Gen. Negrier's defeat and re-
treat from LangsOn caused great excitement
here. A council of war was held, but nothing
is known of its deliberations. 1t is under
stood that large body of troops will be at
once dispatched to reinforce Gen De L'Isle.
There is a growing and bitter outcry
throughout France at the governments mill
tary blunders in Tonquin and China, and it
is thought that II. Ferry, the French pre-
mier, Is doomed politically by this latest dis
aSter.
Gen. Negrier had been recently strongly
reinforced and ought to have at leaEt 10000
men under his colnmang. Experts, however,
insist that enough had been forwarded to the
seat of war to enable Gen. Briere De L'Is.e,
who is III chief command. to spare Nesrier
at least l5,OO0 if he saw fit. It is now
tn. ught that either De L'Isle is hard pressed
himself or the loss to his army in battle and
its diminuition by sickness are hidden. TIL
probabilities are that both suppositions are
partly true.
In the chamber Of deputies a fierce and
long debate on the ranco-Cninese question
was only terminated BY demand by the
government for the order of the day, which
was carried by a vote Of 27} to 227. This
vote is looked upon as 4 sign of the times
ma jOrity of 46 out of total of $40 can
hardly amount to the assurance of confidence
which M. Ferry undoubtedly much desired

Bro. Willard is at it again,
showing either ignorance of the
rules of grammar, or a revolu
tionary purpose to change our
system of elections Speaking
of the Republican nominees for
Councilmen. he says:
"Four, better. more capable
and more representative men it
would be impossible for any par
~ to put in nomination, for that
important Office"
He wants TO put, it seems, his
four men in "lhat Office" The
Democrats can find four equally
capable men for the four offices.
We cherish the thought that
Bro. Willard's expression is the
result Of his lack of knowledge OF
the rules of English Grammar,
and not a deep. dark and damna-
BILE purpose TO change our muni-
cipal system so as to put four ca :
pable Republicans in one office.

Oh! Say, Ny Brother, Are You Ready

Have the readers Of the SEN
TINEL ever stopped to consider
that the greatest scourge that ha!
ever afflicted mankind is likely
to become visitor to our shore.
the coming season2
Many of our young readers
know nothing of Lsiatic Cholera
only as they have heard of il,
but who among our older read
ers can forget the horror Of that
terrible visitation in 1917, when
hundreds and thousands of the
people were stricken down by the
disease and the unutterable woe
of the nation found vent in
groans and unavailing tears.
In those dark days there was
no distinction of persons. The
rich, the high, The low and the
poor met a common fate on the
streets, in the market places or
wherever death might find them,
and the velvet of the million
are, co-mingled with the rags OF
the pauper, as the once naughty
matron and miserable beggar
woman, we're dumped in un-
marked graves in the Potters
Field together.
1t is true that science has found
means to combat the disease;
physicians are more successful
IN their treatment than they
were in years gone by, but this
is true in a great measure, be-
cause the people have needed
the warnings Of the doctors; be-
cause they have tried to carry
out intelligently the absolute and
demands for cleanli
ness, that they say is the most
formidable opponent cholera can
meet.
1t is we'll to consider then the
of our own town. Now
it is evident to any one that may
take the trouble to look, that
some of the alley ways in this
city, are IN the common accept
ance of the term, nuisances.-|
They have become the recepta-
Gle of the accumulated filth of
The season. and it should be re-
membered that the fragrant gales
of April can not kill the. poison
ous fumes that will arise from
'hese places in another month.
Even if there was no danger Of

The board of nea'th should not
await the coming OF any epidem-
c before there is an enforcement

We can not now recall the health
officer of the city, but who ever

We have a most excellent corps

after the Supreme Court of the

How Watch Cases are Modt.

The many great Improvements intro
duoed in the manufacture Of the Jas. Boss'
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of .
silver case was made of several pieces Of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering. which
soiened the metal and gave it the pliabi:ity
of lead rather than the elasticity Of silver.
Under the improved nl.tl.o.lA, each part
of the keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily aYpar-
ent, for every one knows that hanmcrins
hardens the metal whilo soldering softcnsit.
To test the superiority Of the keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one Of OF. weighs,
press it squarely in the center when close.a,
and it viii not give, while case Of same
weight Of any other make will give enough
tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Sxver

and gold joints.
