Sweetmeats and Pastry.

1t was recreation hour at both the Poly
technic and Central grammar school Streams
of boys emerged from both institutions and
at once made for a neighboring bakery.
There they gorged themselves with sweet
meats and pastry OF every description
Wien faced little chaps of II and IA tackle
pies nearly as large as their heads, while
their older classmates gave attention to the
festive cranberry tart, the latter being COM
posed of heaoily sweetened cranberries and
partly done dough. Occasionally one of the
more adventurous boys sneaked out OF the
bakery and in some secluded spot lighted
cigarette, which he smoked till the 1880 bell
called him back to school.
Pastry, inSuficiently cooked, and cigarettes
make a poor combination. Fond mothers
wonder why their boys have no appetite for
dinner at night and vainly try TO guess the
reason. Did they provide their sons in the
morning with an amply stocked lunch box
containing deiicacies which would charm the
palate of the urchin, they would find that the
latter would have better appetites for the
evening meal. Instead, however, many boys
are given so much money each morning 70
pay their expenses for the day. This includes
the price of luncheon and car fare. Business
men sometimes become dyspeptics by eating
too fast, but it is unfortunate that youths
and young men just leaving school should
ruin their digestions before entering COM
mercial life.-Brooklyn Eagle

Chfldren,s Friendships.

Children are apt TO seek the society OF
other children at about the sixth year or
their ages This should be watchfui pariod
for the parents, as friendships contracted at
this time have q very decided influence on the
mind, morals and manners Of their child.
Nearly every child is influenced for good or
evil through early associations II allowed
to be constantly with the nurse, their Ian
euage and manners viii, in nearly every case,
be identical with those or the nurse a
mother should spend the greater portion OF
every day In the society Of her children II
to rid herself of their noise she permits them
to seek companions outside, she has no one 70
blame but herself if their manners and morals
are corrupted All children require compan-
ionship Of those OF their own age, but 1t Is
very essential that the parents should choose
these companions.
Children can be readily taught to be neat
and tidy in their habits by example prin-
cipally, for they initiate closely the actions OF
their elders a closet or other convenient
place should be given them exclusively for
their TOYS, provided there Is no play room;
then let it be understood that when play Is
ended all TOYS are TO be returned to their
proper place. II this rule is disregsrced, the
withdrawal OF favorite toy for time, as
punishment, usually has the desired effect OF
causing them to be more careful in the
future This device may have TO be resorted
to more than once, but it usually is success
full in the end.-Mrs. Ellis L Mumma IL

NAVE WAL KER ON TRIAL,

ST. LOUIS, April 9.-The trial of the
chief of the Bald Knobbers, Dave Walker,
began at Ozark, Mo-, today. All the jurors
are from the northwestern handle of Chris
tian county and the chief says there is not
a familiar face in the lot
The first witness for the state was old
William Edens, whose first recollection of
the case was the cry of his small boy who
said, Pap, get up we are surrounded by
Bald knobbers" AS he sprang
from the bed three shot were
fired through the window, the front and
rear doors gave way to heavy blows from
the outside, and the next instant masked
men knocked him senseless. When he re-
covered he found he had been shot. in the
head and otherwise injured, and his son
and son-in-law were killed.
1Other witnesses who had been members
Of the band of Balb knobbers organiza-
ton, testified to the important position in
held by Dave Walker, and said he was
present at the killing and was known as
their chief and was Unquestionably their
reader.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Roscoe Conkling' s
condition changed much for the worse last
night. He was bouyed up in the evening
by the presence of his wife, whom he had
not been permitted to see since his illness
became serious After her departure he
fell into stupor from which he aroused
at long intervals and then only to display
symptoms of delirium. DIR. Agnew, a
eminent oculist, called at Mr.. Conklng
residence last night. At the time OF his
leaving the patient seemed to be not much
worse, though his temperature had risen
perceptibly.
DIR. Fordyce Barker said today that he
feared Mr.. Conkling's ocular trouble had
caused an affection of the brain, which
may prove fatal "All l care to say just
now,n said DIR. Barker, sis that Mr.. Conk-
ling has had bad change within the last
twenty-four hours, and is very poorly in
deed. / have called in DIR. Sands and DR..
Delfeld and they, i'll company with Dr.
Agnew and myself, will visit the patient
this afternoon"
Mr. Conkling's condition was unchanged
from the last report At2 o'clock DR.. Fleid,
AQnew and Barker called at Mr.. Conkling S
house. DR.. Baker, at the conclusion OF the
conference, said that the patients condl-
ton was very unpromising; that ne was
suffering from inflammation of the ear.
which had extended to the membranes OF
the brain. The probability was that Mr.
-Conkling would not recover, though there
was possibility that he might get well
His temperature was 10315 and his pulse
100. DR. Baker did not think that there
would be any marked change in his pa
TENTS condition for twelve hours. NJ
persons were admitted to the sick room
but the nurses and Mrs. Conkling.

We could at any time since the cOnsidera-

hut our opposition TO the bill is such that
no amendment which can be adopted. eN-

not before the house according TO Its rules
and in the usual course Of procedure. IL

BULLETIN.

NEW YORK, April 9.-DrS. Dellaneld,
Sands and Barker held a consultation in
the case of Roscoe Conkling between and
; o'clock this afternoon and it was decided
to Immediately cut through the temple
bone to ascertain whether there Is pus
lodged on the brain. DIR. Sands IS the
operating surgeon.
The doctors have left Nj Conkling's
bedside. There is no material change but
greater hopes are entertained for his re-
covery. There will be bulletin at 9:16 p.
IN. with report of the operation. DIR.
Fordice Barker has been appointed to give
news to the press. There Will probably be
no noticeable change for several hours
At 9:45 DIR. Eordice Barker, on behalf OF
the attending physicians, said that Mr..
Conkling was resting much easier and
that there was no immediate danger OF
death His temperature was lO2 and his
pulse about 81. Mr.. Conkling moved so
much that his pulse could only be approx
mately taken. DIR. Barker said that the
operation had been in every way success
full Two holes about half an inch in di-
ameter were made in the skull behind the
CAR, and about an ounce of matter was
taken out. He seemed soon after to be
greatly relieved.
After the operation Mr.. Conkling arose,
walked into the adjoing room and re
turned. Besides the physicians Mrs
with the patient constantly. Mr.. Conk
ling has not been able to recognize any
one but his wife during the day and he
will probably remain unconscious al
night because of the ether which was
administered MesSrs Barker and SAND
left the sick chamber AT 9:45 and will not
return until . a. m. tomorrow.
The surgical operation performed upon
the distinguished patient this evening Is &
very delicate one. 1t consists in th'
cutting out and removal of a part of tn
the incision being made upon the promi
nence which may be felt Just behind thu
ear Beneath this lies the mechanism o
the ear, and in cases in which this mechan
ism becomes involved in serious Suppura
ton, as in this instance, it becomes
necessary to make an opening through
which the prIs may be drawn OFF. Other
wise the Inflammation will extend TO th'
tissue OF the brain, and deafness
of the ear operated on re
suits. The saw or drill with which
the circular piece of spongy bone is eX
cised is like a Jagged edge on the end of ;
piece of small steel tubing. II is fixed 70
the first few turns by prong In the cen
ter The whole instrument IS called tire
pine When the region of the inner ca
has been reached the circular disk of bon'
is carefully extracted and the membran,
beneath the bone cut through, drainag
tube is then TO be inserted through whicl
the matter forming IN the abceSS can nov
freely into anuseptic absorbant cotton q
the outer end of the tube. This afford
the best chance of contining the lntiama
ton TO its narroweSt limits
At II y. IN. VI. Conklin was resting
quietly. HIS temperature and pulse ar
the same as at last report.
