Whnt an Anarchist Says About tho Amt
Versary OF That Event, July II.
An Anarchist of this city, who
shaves his beard 50 as to leave only q
Inustache on his face, was interviewed
by Sun reporter in regard to the pre-
diction Of Capt. Bonfeld, of Chicago,
that there will be q widespread An
archist> uprising on the 14th of next
July, and that In Paris, where their
operations are to begin, the centenary
OF the fall Of the Bastile is then to be
celebrated. ''1t is true" the New York
Anarchist said, that there will be a
big time in Paris on July Il next at
the Bastile celebration, and it 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 18th of July in France is
Like the 4th of July in the United
States. 1t 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 it will be
celebrated here next year, as Inspector
Bonfeld, 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
signalizes the downfall of monarchy.
AS the Americans in France and other
countries celebrate the Fourth of July,
so 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
as the foreign sympathizers with
American liberty who live here join
hands with the natives on Independ-
ence day. That is all the ground there
Is for the apprehensions of Inspector
Bonfield, of Chicago, who probably
never was in France. There is not
the slightest danger in this country.
any more than there is 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.

scare people about the 14th Of next

The Battle OF New Orleans.

Flags are displayed at the mast head
to-day in honor of tho anniversary of
the battle of New Orleans which was
fought on the 9th of January, 1916,
with Andrew jackson commanding the
American, and Sir Edward Pakenham
the British forces. A treaty of peace
was concluded between the United
States and Great Britain prior to the
time OF this great battle. but az the
news had to be brought across the
ocean by sailing vessel the commanders
of the opposing armies knew nothing
of the negotiations and the battle was
fought, .....r
The British force consisted approx
mately of 14,0GO effective men; but
their authorities place it as low as g.
600. Opposed to this great army of
Veterans General Jackson commanded
an army of 1000 man composed Of
American Eeanen and Kentucky mill
tin, the latter constituting the bulk OF
his forces. General Jackson took q
strong position and behind hastily con-
structed breast works Of cotton bales
aWrited the assault. General Pmken-
ham undertook to capture tho Ameri.
can works but was received with such
deadly fire from the Kentucky rifles
that his army had to retrent, General
Pakenhnm being among the slain.
The attack was repeated but without
success. The weight and precision OF
the American FIRE was such that no
troops in the world could have stood
against it. The British loss was over
1000 killed, wounded and prisoners,
while the American loss was aeven
killed and six wounded. Thus ended
ono of the most memorable battles in
American history.

In the recitation the teacher gives proof

Is displayed the life of the school, and
here is decided whether the school shall
be a source of development or a source
of unworthy motive, falseness and inef-
fective accomplishment. The pupils who
recite from the book undengo an exercise
of memory which is valuable. but below
the end sought All recitations should
be discussions with illustrations and de-
monstrations We have too much reci-
tation. Three hours should be enough.
We waste time in recitation when we
give no time for study.
Pupils of the primary grade should be
given no study to do out of school, and
higher grades very little. Let them learn
other and valuable lessons. One Of the
greatest wrongs in the schools today Is
keeping after school It does not pro-
mote good attendance, conduct or bene-
fit. Arouse the pupils ambition by study
ing his peculiar temperament. Do not
restrict to one book. Make examinations
oral, with such written examinations as
necessary. A pupil who acquits himself
well in Grafton may often be advanced
to higher grade regardless of the results
of written examination. The details

Perhaps there are no new motifs OF

tions. And we are amused when they
are applied to characters well known.
During the war, at time of great de
preston, it is said that a public meeting
was called in Oneida county, N. ", fol
the purpose of stimulating the war spirit.
It was a matter of notoriety at the time
that there was a decided political disa-
greement between Roscoe Conkling and
his nephew, Morris Miller, and that they
warmly opposed each others views and
measures.
The meeting was very fervent one,
and in the course of it great enthusiasm
was aroused for the more vigorous prose.

with each other in their devotion and
personal self sacrifice. One speaker Of
fered tocontribute large sum of money.
another and another offered an increased
amount. An aged man arose and with q
broken voice declared that he had nc
money to give. but that he had young
son whom he would dedicate to the
service of his country. Another father
arose and with tears in his eyes pledged
the same sacrifice.
The enthusiasm was at its height and
the house was carried away by the spirit
of self surrender, when Mr.. Miller arose
and eloquently expressed his devotion tc
the cause.
'sI have" he said, in thrilling tones,
''no money to give, but / offer to my

There was dead silence for moment

Talking about adventures in strange
places. said J.. s. d. Hodge, OF Jones'
vile. as he settled himself down in
three legged chair in the Office, zone
year age / had an experience that I shall
not soon forget or repeat. In my neigh
borhood there are numbers Of natural
wells. These wells are round, and the
walls ara of rock. Some Of these wells
are very deep and others have no bottom.
"One year ago my neighbor. Henry
Turner. lost a calf, and after searching
for it week he decided that it had fallen
in one of these unused wells and came to
me for assistance. | told him that the
calf was dead, but consented to 60 down
the We'll Descending TO the depth of
about forty feet came to what sup
posed was the bottom. Becoming ac-
customcd to the darkness, / discovered a
long, horizontal cave in the rock. The
lost calf had on bell, and after listen
ing heard the tinkling far OF in the
distance. Moreover it Appeared to be
partly submerged in water The hunt
was growing exciting, but / could not
enter that dark hole, peopled with snakes
by the imagination, by myself. Calling
70 the top, / asked that another man
come down with lantern. NV brother
came down, and we started on our jour
ney through the earth. We had to crawl,
for the crevice was not more than three
feet high. We had proceeded about 100
yards when suddenly we came to large
cavern, which could not be measured in
the darkness. just before us was a
body of water into which the calf had
fallen. We managed to throw a rope
around it and pull it up, and then we
got out of there with all possible haste.

and shudder when l think Of the pos
sible danger that surrounded us in the

These natural wells are among the
wonders unexplained. It is believed by
many that in ages past the ground sunk
In, leaving these round holes in the solid
rock. Mr.. Hodge used the water from
one Of these wells for drinking. It's
sixty feet deep, and the water is cold.

MANI Condition and Dependence.

As to his inventions, there Is no crea-
ture more dependent than man. In every
single thing we attempt there is GER
tain degree of imperfection which hin.
ders its accomplishment. Our powers
are not sufficient to attain the perfection
we desire. "Man is ever falling, it has
been said, and God is ever raising him
up again. Man is always on the. point
of being overcome, and God is always
succoring and defending him. Man tills
the land, sows the grain; but he cannot
give the sun the next day, nor the rain;
he cannot regulate the number Of insects
which may be useful or injurious to cul.
tivation. You may pursue the most eff.
cacious and most able methods, either in
commerce, industry, politics. When you
have done everything, there win always
remain something else to be done; there
will still be some element lacking over
which you have no power, without which
the circle cannot be closed, or . perfect
result obtained. Unbelief acknowledges
this, and calls It chance. Religion ac-
