THE ROD IN SCHODL

The Bavarian Government has issued
directions that no child in any school
shall be punished except by rod, and
two sizes are prescribed, as also the
number and dimensions OF the two
twigs, reminding one of the time when
in the deeds Of many schools in En-
gland 800 years ago it was laid down
that every scholar "shall give I'd. to q
poor scholar appointed by the master
to provide rods
1t is only quite of late years that the
charge at Elton for a birch of half a
a guinea in every boys bill has ceased
to be made, and the present provost,
when appointed head master, was pre-
sented by the captain of the school
with birch rod tied up with blue rib
bon.
The Elton rod consists of three long
twigs without branches, bound with q
string for about quarter of their
length. The instrument used at Win
chester, which has not been altered
since 1857, is formed Of four apple
twigs inserted in wooden handle.
-Four cuts are called "scrubbingn
and six cuts q "bibling," because in
former days when a boy was "sent up
for six, I" he was introduced to the head
master by the Bible clerk. Golden

WHEAT, TWO DOLLARS
A Great Squeezing Of September
Shorts in the Chicago
Grain Market.
The Visible Supply Gripped by "0ld
Hutch" for all There
Is in It.
His Profits Amount to Millions on the
Deal-Big Failures Are
Predicted.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-On Friday was de-
ners ever manipulated in the Chicago
board of trade. For some time past Mr..
Hutchinson, or "Old Hutch" as he is
familiarly called, has been quietly buy
ing up all cash wheat. He, however,
managed to allay all suspicious by occa.
sionally ostentatiously disposing of guam
titles Of the cereal. AS the time for Sep
tenber settlements approac, ed and shorts
began to bid the fact developed that the
available supply was all in the hands
of the great manipulator-that he had,
in fact, a corner on the market and could
run the price up to whatever figure he
desired. The excitement became intense
and before the close wheat had risen from
$l.25 to $1.50.
When the board opened this morning
it was given out by Old Hutch that he
had no wheat for sale less than SO. The
market opened at $1.60 with no wheat
offered. No material advance was made
until near the closing hour, shorts evil
IDENTIFY hoping for break that would
avert their approaching wreck. As 1:15
approached the bidding became lively,
rising to $1.65, $l.75 and just before the
close the So demanded was conceded. At
this price nearly all the settlements had
to be made. 1t is predicted that this un-
expected squeeze will result in many i'm
portant failures.
During the day the excitement among
spectators was intense. The gallery
overlooking the exchange room was filed
and the circle of gaping spectators around
''Old Hutch" presented ludicrous scene.
At the secretary's Office it was stated
more visitors tickets of admission to the
floor Of the exchange had been issued
than ever before, not excepting the ex-
citing times of the famous Harper's wheat
deal year ago last June.

to, and it is not my practice to give up
essentials for non-essentials. tits an un-
necessary performance any how, but
suppose that custom and precedence
must be followed. When It comes there
will not be much of it, and it will not
come until the spirit moves me-"
The judges voice was decidedly hoarse,
but In answer to question he repudiated
the idea that he had suffered from stand
ing so long in the bleak air to review

to his contemplated trip to Indiana next
month. the Judge said that he looked for

account of the inelement weather that

to go, however, and he would keep his
promise at all hazards.

such had not been done. The monthly
deliveries were light, Hutchinson deliv-
ering nearly all of it. The rule of the
board is that when settlements are made
they shall be on the basis of last Satur-
days prices. Charles L. Hutchinson,
son of ''Old Hutch" and. president of
the board of trade, says the extent of
the deal has been magniied. His father
will make about half million from it.
He could easily have made more, but his
only object in engineering such q deal
was to settle few spirits on the board
who have for some time been trying to
down him. 1t is not his intention to
cause any unnecessary failures. Failures
are inevitable, however. Two important
firms went to the wall this morning in
this city and one big suspension fs an
nounced from New York. Those Of the
