to appear for trial at the next February
tenn Of the United States court, to be
held at Austin. He failed to give the
bond and will be held in jail here. Reeves
Was arrested in johnson county several
weeks ago by a large sheriff's posse from
whom he attempted to escape and his
body was riddled with bullets. Fearful
of efforts being made by friends to rescue
him from the Johnson county jail, the
sheriff on last Saturday determined to
bring him to this city for safe keeping.
During the day rumors reached the
Saeriff's ears that large psrtY
of Reeves friends would attack
and rob the train bearing him to
San Antonio and also releasejhin. To be
fully prepared to repel the attack the
Sheriff summoned forty deputies, armed
them with reyolvers and WING testers snd
chartered special car for the convey
ance of Reeves to this city. With the
powerful guard the train was uumolested
on the way to San Antonio, arriving here
at 2 O'Clock Sunday morning, and the
prisoner was lodged in jail strongly
lroned. Reeves is one of the most des-
perate men of the southwest. He is
about thirty years old, six feet one inch
high and weighs nearly 200 pounds. He
is sDlendidly proportioned, has light hair,
blue eyes and an unusually high forehead.
BE boldly asserts that he will escape or
be killed in the attempt before going to

What to Teach in the pubic Schools.

Rev. o. H. Parkhurst, in the Forum.
The first. and pretty nearly the last, thing
is to teach him to read, speak and write the En-
glish language intelligently. This will afford
him no enc OF mental discipline, and
viii, at the same time, put
in his hand the key to every door that he may
need TO swing further on. In order that the
most practical results might be reached, it is to
be wished that there were law prohibiting the
use of spelling-books and grammars. boy
needs to learn to spell the words he
himself uses, and not those that others use;
and as for grammar. the way for him to learn to
talk correctly Is to talk. subject to correction,
not to apply himself to linguistic anatomy,
surgery. and dissection. 1 studied grammar
weeks, just long enough to find out
what genius some people can show in putting
asuLder what God hath Joined together. Ii is
splendid device for using UP boys time and
souring his disposition; but it will not keep him
out of tho grave, nor help him pay rent and
butchers bills.
The school ought also to give the average pu-
pill little arithmetic and little geography.
AS for geography it might almost be said the
less the better. 1t is convenient and
necessary to know something about
ones own country; also to know
that the earth is round. and to have some gen.
eral idea OF countries abroad. As for geoeraph-
them. If one-quaFter of the time that
is spent IN leaning minute about
inaccessible regions and outlandlsh towns
employed judiciously. the child would
have just as practical knowledge of the world,
and would have thressquarters of his time left
TO put to more profitable uses. The criticism TO
be passed on arithmetic Is, tnRt while it disci-
plines the pupils mind. it is usually taught in
such a way that IL has to be all learned
again before it is available for practical
uses. A boy will know how to "do sums in his
book but that is no indication that he could
take the first step make the first figure
toward solving the problem in a store or
an ofice. The instruction he has received has
lacked the couplingpin that binds the school
room and practical life into one train.

Spring BoDnets.

new YORK Evening Post.
There are no very striking features in new
hats and bonnets thus far. The shapes are
mostly pretty and stylish, with but few pro-
nounced effects. The princess bonnet so dear
to the hearts of French women, has a perennial
popularity, and appears again this in
straw felt aud velvet, to snlt the exicencies of
our itful climate. Some of the new millinery
fabrics are exceedingly elegant and beautiful
Among the novelties are pretty little stringless
velvet bonnets in dark green and other rich
shades, decorated with half wreaths of Nav
roses. arbutus blossoms. jonquils in cluster.
Sprays of pink hyaclnth, ETC., crocus blooms in
a rich mass, tiny black velvet cApote is a
dainty and effective style for brunette. Pale
wood violets delicately shaded. are arranged
on a hsh-wif poke bonnet of dark violet
velvet The princesse models are shown with
and without coronet fronts. These pretty little
fower-crowned bonnets will be worn until the
summer heat renders them uncomfortable. They
Will be suite with costumes of Henrietta
cloth In light spring shades, and with white
wool toilets further on. The bonnets will be
worn to display the fluffy bang over the
forehead. and rather short at the back to
show the shining coil of hair carried up from the
nape of the neck.
Importers and uptown milliners are already
making charming display of spring aud sum
balmy weather just at hand. This exhibition is
particularly alluriuR. and the gay show in the
windows Is rendered still more attractive by the
contrasting chill and yerdureless look of things
outside. Snow drops, datfodils, anemones, vio-
lets, tulips. jonquils and Drimroses are
Sss. 0 straw a1S bsy de-
various sorts. There is decided leaning
toward greater simplicity. both regards shape
and style of trimming, One French model Is
made of black Milan. slightly pointed in front
like modified fish bonnet in fact There
is full lining of velvet inside, and two up
standing-but towering-loops of piece
velvet arranged in the donkey-ear style of last
autumn. These encircled by an ex-
quisitely beautiful wreath of pale pink
roses which points slightly. and then lies
fat upon the top of the bonnet like
. dainty chaplet. There has not been anything
pretty and simple seen worn for a long
time A corresponding bonnet is made OF very
dark green braid, trimmed with willowy sprays
of shaded grass, with other trimming but
loops of green velvet described above. Vel
vet. with few loops of shot ribbon in some
suitable color, makes a pretty garniture be-
coming TO most faces, and the simplicity of
such arrangement, after the excess of decora-
ton of late, is doubly charming
Fashion repeating itself once and again has
proved unerrinRly that exaggeration always
ends in the opposite extreme.
