Above the staIrWay's spiral flight
A stained glass window, queer and quaint,
Touched with It's dim, religious light
Each painted sinner, sculptured saint.
Beyond panes frosted deep with lace,
Broad lawns lay pulsefess under snow:
And sharp winds snatched up vraiths, to

THE ELECTRIC LINE.
Every thing Moving Smoothly and
No Serious Accidents Reported.

The electric cars were run on the
Fourth avenue line yesterday on regular
schedule time. Everybody who rode
on them was of the opinion that they
filed l0ng-felt want, and the ease and
rapidity with which the trips were made
was the source OF favorable comment
from the patrons. General Manager
Goodrich is not very enthusiastic about
the line, but he is well pleased with the
experiment so far. Il have tried hard
to learn something about the cost of
operating electric street car llnes,"
he said yesterday, ''but no one
can tell anything about IL yet.
By this time next year we will know
more about it than wed do now. A few
horses were frightened yesterday, but
no serious accidents happened. About
10 O'Clock yesterday morning the pas
sengerS in one of the cars were given
shaking up, but no damage was done.
The efficiency of the brake was given
severe and totally unexpected test. The
car was coming down the heavy grade
ON Fourth avenue south. At Fourth
street farmers wagon attempted IN
cross the track in front of it. The car
was close upon the wagon before either
the farmer or the driver of the car was
aware of the danger. The driver
jammed down the brake and stopped
the ear within its own length. The
stop sent the passengers all in heap
in the front of the car, but no damage
was done. AT Second avenue and Third
street horse became unmanageabIe at
the sight of the car, and backed buggy
containing two men into the car. The
buggy was upset and the men were
thrown out, but they were not seriously
hurt

=. II. BAKER Again.

1t Is learned i'll Minneapolis through
a gentleman who was formerly very in
innate with Samuel FL. Baker, the real
estate dealer who gave specimen of
some peculiar methods of doing bust
ness in this city few years ago, that
the enterprisiug gentleman is doing a
prosperous business in Central Amer
lea. 1t would seem that Baker had
with him at the time of his sudden de-
parture about $6J, OJJ in cash, belonging
to host of creditors. who were very
anxious to see him. This cash he has
applied with the same energy which
characterized his movements here, and
now loans money for living. 1t has
been supposed that Baker was in Can
ada, and that thither Mrs. Baker went
to join him, but it is now understood
that he went to Central America not
more than six weeks ago.

Pathetic Separation of a st.

Pathetic Separation OF q st.
LOuisan and a Wife.
ST. LOUIS. Dec. 24.-One of the most
pathetic separations that has ever been
legally ordained occurred here yeSter-
day. when Marian Miller received a di-
vorce from Louis Miller. The latter Is
Russian and was exiled for political
reasons. He left wife and child in
Russia, whom he supported for five
years after coming to America. Then
came the Russo Turkish war. and the
wife and child were lost. Miller was
notified that they were dead and he
mOurned them as lost. He made
success in business here and in
1884 married the woman who secured
the divorce to-day. They lived happily.
Meanwhile Mrs. Miller, the original,
and her boy, now grown to manhood,
arrived in this country and through
some mysterious influence came to st.
Louis. The same influence brought ia
ther and son together. and though
neither suspected the others identity
for several months, mutual friends
spoke of the likeness, and suddenly the
boy told his story and there was a de
movement. Miller visited his Russian
wife, and there was reconciliation.
When Wife No. 2 learned the story she
quietly sued for divorce, and the happy
union was broken. She babe Miller an
affectionate farewell to-day and he in
stalled his first wife and son in the old
home.

general. training Of the intellectual and
moral powers.
This training the state without dissent
requires. 1t can all DO given, too. with
out stirring up conference.-the moral
as well as the intellectual. The essen
tial principles of morality are matters
of general agreement. They can be
taught as moral principles on philo-
sophical grounds, admitted by religion
ist and infidei, Protestant and Catholic
alike. Truthfulness, purity, public
spirit. kindness. admit Of no dispute.
But here the consensus ends. Hence
the school curriculum must end here.
Let 1t attempt to tread upon the field OF
religion, and war will follow. War
means disaster. 1t will be civil war,
none tine less disastrous because blood
less. 1t must END i'm either the Oppres-
sion OF one party by the esher or IN sep
n-secession-both fatal. The
free state cannot go so far. 1t is COM
PEELED by necessity, by the constitution
of things, to rest upon the consensus.
1t mon or bodies of men wish the train
ing of the child to 60 farther than the
state demands for herself, it is their
privilege to extend it In the case of
their own children. The state dues not
declare against religion. liz leaves it to
the church and family. And so it must
until, if the time ever comes, some con-
sensus is reached as to what Is impor-
tant for the child to learn of religion,
for the good of the state. Then the
public schools would be compelled to
teach religion. not by decree of a
majority. but inevitably. The public
schools simply do the possible. They
are under the e0nStraint of absolute
social forces, aud can do neither more
nor less than they are neeessitated
to do.
Nor does this in any sense initiate
against the efficiency of the public
school. As the agent of the state 1t
simply does all the good it can. That
good all admit to be fundamental. That
it must do if the state is to live. 1t can
not delegate it. The state educates
primarily, not for the good of the child,
but for its own good. Hence its work
must be limited to it's own admitted
needs. 1t is the hope of the writer of
this article that it may help to some de-
gree ia defining the position of the pub
lie school, and by making clear the
necessity of consensus and the fact of
inevitability aid in avoiding useless
and painful controversy.

Ledger reporter to-day that "the pub
