School Management.

As the teacher is, SO is the school, OF
at leaiti this is generally the case. If
the teacher is kind, open-hearted, 6rm,
and patient, his pupils will usually be
friendly and obedient. A morose and
itful teacher justly brings upon him
self the i'll. will OF those he is teaching.
Cultivate their friendship by good ex-
ample. Children are quick to notice.
whether they are justly dealt with or
not. y good teacher is Q ready to
correct the large thar he is the small
scholar. 1t is a poor cowardly one that
will tyranize over the small ones, and
let thelarge ones have their own way.
Our physical conditions determine our
mental states to a certain extent, there
fore we should study the laws of ny
glene, and not ONLY study, but teach.
those laws that are SO essential to us
all. It is impossible to do good work
unless your school rooms i well ven
tilated.
a school has good order when all are
quietly engaged in preparing their les
sons; The teacher should at all times
strive to keep his pupils employed.
This is the best way to keep order.
Have a program andsfolloW it. Some
children do not know how to study.
Exercises forssmall children should be
varied and short-"yariety is the spice
of life with the little ones.

THE DOW LAW.
Important Opinion by the Attorney-Gen-
eraI-Towns Supplied by the Gallon.

Important Opinion by the Attorney-Gen'
eraI-Towns Supplied by the Gallon.
TOLEDO, OHIO, September 2s.-AttOr'
ney-General Kohler has just delivered an
opinion upon some features Of the Dow
law which must be of great Importance to
saloon men, and in fact, to every body in
Ohio. The question at issue grew out Of
the Bowling Green test case, in which the
Finlay Brewing Company's agent, Pom
chea, was the defendant. This was a test
case of Section 8 of the Dow law, which
gives to the manufacturers the right to sell
in quantities not less than a gallon.
The Ponchea case, it will be remem-
bered, went against the defendant, the
Bowling Green jury probably going on the
supposion that if the Dow law is any good
at all it will prohibit in cases like this
when town votes prohibition. Collector
John F. Kumler, in recent interview,
held that in cases of this kind the agent
who sold in quantities of a gallon or more
was not violating the law. On Friday last
he wrote the Attorney General for his OPP
inion. and to-day received an answer, IN
which General KOhler says:
''Section 8 of the act passed 9 May IA,
1886, Ohio law, SO, page l67, commonly
called the Dow law, defines the phrase,
"trafficking in intoxicating liquors" as
used in the act, and says it does not in
clude the manufacture of intoxicating hq-
uors from the raw material and the sale
thereof by the manufacturer in quantities
of one gallon or more at any one time.
The manufacturer, therefore, has the right
to sell beer in quantities OF not
less than one gallon without be-
inp liable for the special
tax, and it is obvious that he may do this
by his agents or employees. 1t does not
matter at what place it is sold, or at how
MANY different places in the State, so
long as it is sold by an agent acting eX-
clusively for his employer and in good
faith; but where an agency is established
rs a regular business for the sale OF beer
and liquors, and such agent is selling on
salary or commission for number OF dlf-
ferent persons or employers, in such cases,
in my opinion, the special tax would have
to be paid"
Collector Kumler, whose views are thus
upheld by the Attorney-General, says OF
this view: "The conclusion OF the whole
matter is that, if the opinion ofthe Attor-
General is correct, and | firmly be-
lieve it is, the counties in which the cities,
towns and villages are located which by a
vote have abolished the sale of liquor by
the retail dealer, will not only lose the
Dow law tax |. because the retail dealers
will stop selling and demand of the Coun-
ty Treasurer the refunding Ofthe amount
due him for the uneXpired term of the tax
year. but beer will be sold in quantities OF
one gallon or more instead of at retail by
the glass, as was done before the law was
enacted.
This opinion is of the greatest import
ance for it is obvious that it strikes at the
really vital part of theDOw law-the part
that is of most consequence to towns vot-
ing prohibition.

4 Political Boss in New Orleans Meets His
Death i'm u street Fight.
NEW ORLEANS, September 2S.-A fatal
shooting afl'ray occurred here to-day rs the
result of the Democratic Congressional Pri-
maries yesterday. The Item to-day, COM
menting upon the election, declared that
in the Eighth ward the police had inter
fered in behalf of the Baker faction and
bulldozed and roughly handled the citi-
Zens. The article was written by Frank
Walters, a reporter for thatnewspaper. To
dGy as Walters was riding home to dinner,
in company with Warren EaStOn, Superin-
tendent of Public Education, he was hailed
by Joseph Baker, leader OF the winning
faction. He stepped from the street car
and approached Baker who was standing
with the Chief of Police. Baker pulled ont
a copy of the Item, and asked Walters If he
had written the article rejecting on him.
When Walters said Eyes" Baker cursed
him. Walters replied by striking him, and
both men went for their weapons. Baker
had his out first, and fired twice before
Walters could unbuttOn his coat. Several
shots were fired before police interfered and
arrested the two men.
When asked ifhe was hurt, Baker replied
''No." An examination showed that he
was fatally wounded, the ball passing
through the abdomen. Baker was lead
ing politician and had been the boss of his
ward for years. lie was State Assessor at
the time of his death, and had been Super
intendent of Streets and had held various
other offices during the last twelve years.

Aude. The committee having the ceremo-

at this predominance in the case Of such o
conspirator as Barbes, whom they regarded
as one of their creed. and attempted to
control the demonstration themselves In
this they were resisted by the committee,
assisted by the police. The revoluton-
lists gathered reinforcements and made an
open fight, for control Of the situation.
With red flags flying they assaulted the
enclosed site, breaking down the barriers,
trampling over women and children, and
driving the Moderatists and their police
allies away from the place.

A sharp shock of earthquake, accompan-

at two minutes past one o'clock. No
damage done.
Slight earthquake shocks were felt here
at two and four o'clock this morning by
people who happened to be awake at the
time. The shock this afternoon was vio-
lent enough to shake buildings, and caus-
ed many people to lush out into the
streets. The continuation of these shocks
on the eve of Virgins prediction has de-
moralizing effect upon the people here,
and many will sleep in the open air to-
night, The quake lasted six OF eight
seconds, but it seems to have been felt
only in Charleston and its immediate
vicinity.
There were three slight shocks at Sum-

done.

Sr,CLAIRsynLE, September, 2s.-At

the saloon out flown, the saloons won the
victory. There were two hundred and
ninty one votes pOlled and when counted
out the vote stood one hundred and forty
four to one hundred and forty seven in
favor ofthe saloons. Thus it will be seen
that although about two hundred voters
signed the petition to council to allow the
vote they had mateilly changed their
mind. 1t was hotly contested fight
from the time the polls opened until they
closed. The good order element was on
the grounds early and held the fort brave =

but it could be seen that they were making
