To Parents, Young Men and Women.
This is the season your minds are
naturally drawn towards schools and edu-
cation. The subject as to what depart
ment of education would prove most bene-
fetal is being fully and deliberately dis
cussed. In the majority of cases the de-
cision is in favor of practical and useful
course of study, the fruits Of which can
be early gathered-a course that enables
the pOssessor to conduct business success
fully, or ill clerkships acceptably and
proftably.
The school of photography, bookkeep-
ing, type writing and penmanship, con-
Quoted during the past two years at ia
Liberty street as night school, is espe.
cially devoted to these educational pur-
poses. The increase In the number OF
scholars, has made it necessary to open a
day school in connection with the old re-
gime. Young men and women in search
OF these branches of educational useful
ness. should avail themselves of the oppor-
tunlty thus offered.
A limited number Of students can pro-
cure apartments at the school. &. 5,

NAN OF GOOD REPUTE FOUND TO BK
THIEF AND INCENDIARY

NAN OF GOOD REPUTE FOUND TO BE
THIEF AND AN INCENDIARY.
The town OF Lausanne, In the canton OF vaud.
Switzerland, is In q state Of great excitement
over the discovery OF the villainous character
OF one OF its hitherto most prominent and re-
spected citizens. For several months past se.
rious fires have frequently occurred In Yverdun
and other places In the vicinity of Lausanne.
on which occasions NJ. Schafiter a high and
popular officer OF the Lausanne fire brigade
has invariably rushed TO the scene with won-
derfui alacrity, In most cases reaching the IRE
In advance OF his fellow members. All efforts TO
ascertain the origin Of these fires falling, sus-
picion was at last directed to the uniform celer-
ity displayed by NJ Schaffter i'm arriving upon
the ground, and this, with otner suspicious
circumstances, caused him to be closely
Wednesday night OF this week the efforts OF
the watchers were rewarded by the discovery Of
M. Schaftter In the act of placing combustibles
OF his own house, and he was promptly arrested.
While being taken 10 the Jail he loudly pro-
tested his Innocence, saying that he was
merely experimenting with ombustible mate
rial with view OF extinguishing the lighted
mass by process known only TO himself, and
that the experiment had for its sole object the
perfection OF the service OF the fire brigade. This
story was credited by a few of his most Intimate
friends, but when shortly after being placed in
q cell NJ. Schaffter attempted 10 com init suicide
even these deserted him and joined In n thor
ough search OF his house.
The result OF the search increased the aston.
ishment of everybody. Schaffter's residence
was. from cellar To garret, found TO be a perfect
arsenal and a weli-stored depository of stolen
goods Weapons of all kinds were In profusion,
ammunition In large quar- titles was packed
away In different parts OF the house, while COM
bustfble materials, false keys and property
which had been stolen from burning houses in
Lausanne, Yverdun and other places were
everywhere TO be seen. Besides these articles
the searcbers discovered sack filled with notes
OF the %
that Institution several months ago.
