THE FALL OF THE eAsTlLE.
What an Anarchist Says About the Amir
versary Of That Event, July "a.

An Anarchist Of this city. who
shavcs his beard so rs To leave only a
mustache on his face, was interviewed
by a Sun reporter in regard 10 the pre-
diction Of Capt. Bonlield, of Chicago,
that there will be a widespread An
archist uprising on the l4th of next
July, and That in Paris, where their
operations are 10 begin, the centenary
of the fall of the BaStile is then 10 be
celebrated. 1t is true" the New York
Anarchist said, that there will be a
big time in Paris % July IA next at
the Bastile celebration, and il is also
true that they had a big time there on
the same date in last July, and like
wise on that date of every year since
the establishment of the French repub-
lie. The llth of July in France is
like the 18th of July in the United
States. Ii is the national annual holi-
day, when all France, including the
French government and army, unites
in celebrating the most memorable
event in French history. The day Is
also celebrated in this country,
mainly by Frenchmen, and 1t will be
celebrated here next year, as Inspector
Bonleld, of Chicago, says. But there
is no need Of being alarmed about the
celebration of next year, any more
than there was about that of last year,
or of the year before. The celebration
is not anarchistic, but republican, and
signalizcs the downfall Of monarchy.
As the Americans in France and other
countries celebrate the Fourth of July,
50 the Frenchmen in America and
other countries celebrate the 18th OF
July; and the sympathiZers with
French liberty who live in France
Join hands with the people there, just
US the foreign sympalhilers with
American liberty who live here join
hands with the natives on lndepend-
ence day. That sail the ground there
is Tor the apprehensions of Inspector
Bonlield, Of Chicago, who probably
never was in France. There is not
the slightest danger in this country,
any more than there's in France, OF the
Anarchists raising any rumpus on the
coming French centenary. They are
a hundred times stronger in France
than they are here, but the French
government takes no heed of them.
1t is too bad that Capt. Boniield should
scare people about the l4th Of next
July."-New York Sun.

Discovery of Bethesda.

Biblical scholars will be interested
in the discovery of the location of the
pool of Bethesda. This body of water
isspoken of by one evangelist, and that
is John. In the fifth chapter of his
gospel he says: Now there is at Jeru-
salem by the sheep market or gate) a
pool which is called in the Hebrew
tongue Bethesda, having five porches."
The word translated pool" in the au,
thorized version, is given by some au.
thorities rs swimming bath, and the
phrase pool by the sheep market" is
possibly better rendered sheep pool"
EuSebius explains the occasional red
color of the water to this sheep pool
as being a trace of the ~caFcasSeS Of
sheep washed in it before sacrifice;
hence the name. There were. accord.
ing TO the evangelist, five porchcs OF
porticocs around the pool.
While excavating near the church
of st. Anne, close To 81. Stephens gate,
the pool of Bethesda has recently been
discovered by Herr Conrad Schick.

A Colored Mob at Fairview.

"For some time a lot of colored
hoodlums have been filling them
selves with something said to be ci-
der on Saturday nights and disturb
ing the citizens of Fairview with
their yelling, shooting of pistols. and
such conduct. Last Saturday night
as usual they filled up and undertook
to take the place. They finally con-
cluded to go and break up church
festival at a colored church and went
in and opened fire with their pistols
in a promiscuous manner. One of
the deacons, Sam Finch, was shot in
the head and Minor Tandy, another
deacon, had five holes shot through
his overcoat. Finally the deacons
went after the white folks to help
them and Henry Layne, Tom Clark,
Ed. Shanklin and others went to the
scene of terror a"d bloodshed and
succeeded in capturing Lee Bell, Joe
Bell, Ed. Bell, John Holland, Abe

morning our reporter dropped in ON
Supt. Graham at the public school
building this morning, and found
him enthusiastic over the work of the
scholars, and deeply interested in
their progress.
Under his efficient guidance we be-
gan tour of the building, beginning
at the lower grades and progressing
towards the top. Each room was
well filled with bright-faced clean
looking children, from the little
cherub who is just learning his let
ters, to the older ones who are a
budding into young man and woman
hood.
In the Third grade, which is pre-
sided over by Mrs. Shackelford, as
principle, we listened to two classes
during recitation, one in geography
and one in arithmetic, the amount
of kowledge that those children have
got in their head, as to the topograph.
ical appearance ofthe country with its
rivers, cities, bays, lakes, etc., and
the hard problems that they solved
with ease and dispatch, was remark,
able. We doubt, if outside of the
schools, there are a half dozen per
sons in this city who are as well in
formed as they. Particular attention
is also given to the manner in which
they read, write and spell. The
Superintendent said that there was

especial pains with, and that was the
use of the English language correctly

tenn was put in by the Rutton Heater
Co., of Chicago, ILL.,, and although
not yet an entire success, still enough
has been accomplished to demon
strate the fact that the system is a
success. Better circulation is secured,
and as Il consequence better air is
found in the rooms than in any
school rooms we have ever been in.
The scholars are bright and healthy,
and are free from coughs and colds,
We have often been in rooms where
there was SO much coughing going
on that the teacher would have to
pause and wait for it to cease. Bet
ter attendance is secured as a natural
consequence. Ofthe 576 scholars who
are enrolled, there is an average at
tendance of 500, which is better
average than ever before. The air
as it passes out from the rooms all
goes through the dry closets, which
are a vast help to the sanitary ar
rangement of the buildings, and are
proving complete success.
After an hour and a half spent very
pleasantly in the rooms we withdrew
fully satisfied that our young people
are in efficient hands, and are making
splendid progress toward fitting
themselves for the different walks of
life. Our thanks are due to Superin-
tendent Graham, for his kind atten-
tion and information impaired, and

young people are receiving proper

Husband and Wife Found Hang
ing to a Rafter.

Sandwich, III. July S.-A par
ticularly sad suicide was brought
to light on the farm of George
Gage nears here, tonight. Mr.
Gage had in his employ a man
named David Clark, who. two
years ago, married his wife Bar
bara. The couple was honest
and industrious, but ambitious
and their ann was to own a farm
of their own. The world seemed
to be agalns. them however.
and no matter how frugal they
might be they couldn't get ahead.
Then they made up their minds
to die and die together. and went
about it in a very methodical
manner. This evening about S
o'clock, when Mr.. Gage went out
to his barn, he was Mortified TO
see the bodies of Clark and his
wife swinging from a raiter side
by side, and it was apparent the
couple had not been dead any
great length of time. Clark was
about thirty years of age, and his
wife some five years younger,and
both were of good character. The
bodies will be buried at the ex-
pense of Mr.. Gage. as the unfor-
tunate pair had no relatives IN.
this part of the State.
