THE ENEWSPAPER IN SCHOOL

Never use for school purposes
any but the cieane style of a
newspaper. Teach pupils al
ways to avoid reading accounts
of murd ers, suicides, accidents,
unless of public natures, gossip.
Let your use of the newspapers
be such as tc teach pupils how
important things they may dis
cover therein. Do not use the
newspaper merely as a spelling
or reading lesson, use it to mag
nifty the best in it, and to estab-
lish habits of using it for the
best in it.-.-Warren Winthrop, in
School Teacher.

Nine tenths of the want in
this country is due to waste and
laziness. A gentleman in Maine
recently offered to give one hun
dred sacks of -four, or one hun
dred bushels of meal, to any
needy, deserving man that did
not keep dog, use tobacco or
drink liquor. No one was found
who could accept the offer. The
great reason why so many peo-
pie are not comfortable in life
is because they are either lazy
or wastful. Here is the secret
OF poverty and the reason for
the absence of thrift IN most of
Ill most of instances. Investi.

THE CONQUERED BANNER.
by FATHER RYAN

Furl that banner. for tits weary.
Round its stcff 'tis dropping drcary:
Furl ii, fold it, II Is best;
For there's not man TO wave it,
And there's not sword to save II.
And there not one left to lave it
In the blood that heroes gave il;
And its foes now scorn and brave 1t;
Furl 1t, hide it-let il rest!
Take that banner down; tits tattered;
Broken Is its shaft and shattered;
And the gallant hosts are scattered
Over whom it floated high.
Oh! 'tis hard for Us to fold il;
Hard to think there's none to hold il;
Hard that those who once unrolled il
Now must fold it with sigh.
Furl that banner! furl it sadly!
Once ten thousand hailed it gladly
And ten thousand wildly madly,
Swore it should forever wave;
Swore that foeman's sword should never
Hearts like theirs entwined di.sever,
Till that flag should float forever
O'er their freedom or their grave!
Furl it for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fOndly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that banner--it il trailing.
While around it sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe.
For, though conquered, they adore it T..
Love the cold, dead hands that bore it
Weep for those who fell before it
Pardon those who trailed and tore it.
But, oh how wildly they dcplOre it,
Now who furl and fold it so.
Furl that banner! True it's CORY,
Yet 'tis wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story.
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl its folds though now we must.
Furl that banner softly, slowly!
Treat it gently-it is holy
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not-unfold it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever,
For it's peoples hopes are dead!

The sword was sheathed In April's sun
Lay green the fields by Freedom won;
And several sections, weary OF debates,
Joined hands at last and were United States.
How felt ths land in every part
The strong throb OF Nations heart,
As its great leader gave, with reverent awe,
His pledge TO Union, Liberty and Law;
That pledge the heavens above him heard,
That VOW the sleep of centuries stirred;
In Worldwide wonder listening peoples bent
Their gaze on Freedoms great experiment
Could it succeed? OF honor sold
And hopes deceived all history told,
Above the wrecks that strewed the mournful
past,
Was the long dream of ages true at last?
Thank God the peoples choice was lust,
The one man equal to his trust,
Wise beyond lore, and without weakness
good,
Calm in the strength Of flawless rectitude.
His rule of justice, order, peace,
Made possible the worlds release:
Taught prince and surf that power is but a
trust,
ndrule ,alone, which serves the ruled, is Just
That Freedom generous shut strong.
In hate OF fraud and selfish wrong,
Pretense that turns her holy truths to lies,
And lawlses license masking in her q,lise,
Land of his love with one glad voice
Let thy great sisterhood rejoice;
A century's suns DER thee have risen and set
And God be praised, we are one nation vet,
And still. We trust, the years to be
Shall prove his hope was destiny.
Leaving our flag with all its added stars
Unrent by faction and unstained by wars!
Lo! where with patient toll he nursed
And trained the new set plant at first,
The widening branches of stately tree
Stretch from the sunrise to the sunset sea.
And in its broad and sheltering shade,
Sitting with none to make afraid
Were we now silent, through each mighty
limb,
The winds of heaven would sing the praise
of him.
Our first and best his ashes lie
Beneath his own Virginian sky.
Forgive, forget, o true and just and brave,
The storm that swept across thy sacred grave!
One people now, all doubt beyond,
His name shall be our Union-bond;
We lift our hands to heaven, and here and
now,
Take on our lips the old Centennial VOW.
Then let the sovereign millions, where
Our banner floats i'm sun and air,
From the warm paim-lands to Alaska's cold,
Repeat with us the pledge a century old

The Engineers.

DENVER, Oct. lS.-At to days session
of the locomotive engineers convention
the report of the special finance committee
was presented. This, it is understood,
includes the report of the Burlington
strike. The annual inauce report was
presented and adopted. Chief Arthur
made his special report and recommends
tons TO which he referred in lis annual
address. None of these matters have
been made public. To night the fedora
ton committee from the Union Pacific
and a special committee appointed by the
convention are considering the question at
a special meeting at Meets hall. From a
conversation with a number of leading
engineers to-day it would be inferred that
this proposition will be defeated when
brought before the convention,
The choice OF the place of location of
permanent headquarters for the next ten
wears is between Denver and Cleveland,
o. The majority of the engineers seem
to be opposed to any change and the
probabilities are hat Cleveland will be
decided upon
To morrow, at the invitation of the
Union Pacific, the delegates will go on an
excursion aroun1 the loop. A special
train of twenty cars, rendered by the
Union Pacific. will leave at 7:30 in the
morning and return late in the evening.
1t is expected that the entire train will be
filled with delegates and their ladies'.

Official Corruption in Denver.

DENVER, Oct. lS.-A sensation was
created in the district court yesterday
evening when the states attorney filed
an affidavit before Judge Decker alleging
that so long as Sheriff Weber or any Of
his deputies were allowed to summons
veniremen or have anything to do with
the case Of james and Charles Connors of
this city, who with Jim Marshall of
Kansas City are now on trial charged
with conspiracy to rob the Denver & Rio
Grande Express people. He could not
get an impartial trial for the reason that
the officers favored the case OF the defend
ants. The affidavit also asked the ap-
poiutment of elisors to act instead of the
sheriff or his deputies. On the conven-
ing OF court this afternoon the application
was granted and S. NJ. Cantrell and John
l. Daley were appointed to act III the
future proceedings of the case.

The Naynssa Island Trouble.

NEW YORK, Oct. lS.-Fuller details
of the riot on Navassa Island, in which
five white Americans were killed by ne
gro laborers, show hat the trouble first
arose between a negro and Superintendent
Roby. There was a quarrel over the
quantity of food furnished, resulting in
the fight. A general uprising followed in
which the whites kept the blacks at bay
several days. Finally the blacks prom
ised they would return quietly to work if
the whites would disarm. This was fool
ishly assented to and the result was FIVE
we're killed and remaining six escaped the
to a vessel in the harbor.

Very Unbecoming.

Lovely tiuts in the wrong place are reft
of their charms. A lemon colored coun-
tenauce-the peculiar endowment of our
pig tailed brethren who hit the pipe
is unbecoming. 1t suggests bile going
astray, and the inference is correct.
Pain beneath their ribs and shoulder
blades, constipation, dyspepsia, furred
tongue and sick headaches supplement
this indication of the bilious. For liver
complaint and its multifarious symptoms,
Hostetters Stomach Bitters is an infali-
BILE specific. 1t relaxes the bowels suffi-
GENTLY, but without gripping or violence.
To the secretion Of bile it gives a due i'm.
pulse, but banishes an excess of that SAT-
from colored principle from the blood.
Sick headaches, sourness of the breath
and fur upon the tongue disappear when
it is used. 1t renews digestion, f%ortifies
the system against malaria, couuteracts a
rheumatic tendency, and remedies mac

Arranging a Billiard Tourney.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The project of
arranging tournaments for the billiard
stars in this city and Chicago has been re-
yived. George f. Slosson is working here,
and Hugh Calender, of the Brunswick
Balke-Callender combination is aiding
him in Paris to bring about an i%nterna-
tional contest between V~ignaux. GARNER,
Plot and Beaux, the French champions,
and Schaefer, Slosson, DAILY and Sexton,
the Americans. The proposition is that
each player put up $500 entrance fee,
with an assurance that a billiard company
will put up an additional prize of SO, 900.
1t is proposed to hold four tournaments
altogether-two in this city and Chicago,
and two in Paris and Brussels respective
ly. The game here is TO be "a inch oalk
line, and in Chicago cushion caroms, or
vice versa, as the players may determine.
The balk line contest will be a handicap,
Vignaux, Slosson and Schaeter conceding
the others the odds of the 14-inch game
to the S-inch balk. Each tourney will
afford fourteen days of sport, giving bill
lard lovers a chance to see two games a
day. These Journeys will bring about the
American debut of Beaux, who has the
reputation 81 being the coming player,
and will enable GARNER to renew his
American acquaintance.

Partial Denial from Denver.

DENVER, Oct. ls.-Referring to the
Lincoln, Neb., dispatches of an accident
near Sterling, Colo. In which several
were fatally injured, Passenger Agent
Semple of the Union Pacific says the re-
port that any were killed is absolutely

a number of cattle near Sterling. The
engine was thrown from the track and the
engineer slightly hurt, but not so badly
but he was able to return to work on
Tuesday. Not a single passenger or train
man except the engineer was injured.
The report probably grew out of this.

Tried to Tame a Lioness.

New YORK, Oct. lS.-About two
weeks age, Hermann Reiche, the well
known animal importer, received an order
FOR a tame honess, and, not having such a
thing, determined to tame one. He has
a store-room in Hoboken which contains
a sample OF everything of the Jungle va.
riety, from an elephant to a cockroach.
Among the lot was a ~lioness, three years
old. She was never vicious, and Mr..
Reiche believed she had been born half
tame. He concluded to complete the
work. With his hired mans help he
lassoed the beast, tied her legs together,
and with a heavy chain about her neck
dragged her out of the cage. He stroked
her head gently, smoothed her down the
back, and petted her in the most affec-
tionate manner for half an hour, taking
care to keep away from her mouth.
This was continued from day to day
with apparent good results. One at a
time the letters were dropped from the
treacherous beast. To-day she was drag
ged out with nothing but a collar about
her neck, attached TO which was the
usual chain on either side, at the ends of
which were Mr.. Reiche and his assistant.
Tit beast suddenly awoke to the situation
and started to run. The TWO men could
not hold her and were dragged about
the building, afraid to let go lest she
should turn upon them. Finally she
turned, and in spite of the tugs at the
chain, made a vicious assault on one of
the men. Nothing could stop her, and
to save his life, Mr.. Reiche dealt her a
powerful blow on the back of the neck.
This was effectual and saved their own
lives, but sacrificed that Of the beautiful
and expensive %lioness; her neck was found
