TO MANAGE THE FAIR.
THE MAYOR APPOINTS THE FOUR COMMIT
TEES
CoNFII CITING INTERESTS AS FAR
AS Posi- BLE-FULL LIST OF THE


MEN NAMED.
Mayor Grant yesterday appointed the commit
tees which the preliminary meeting, held in the
Governors Room in the City Hall on July %,
to inaugurate the Worlds Fair Of 1892,
empowered him to name. There were TO be four
committees Of twenty-five each, viz Permanent
Organization. Finance, Site and Buildings, and
Legislation. More than fortnight has passed
since the Mayor requested the various industries
to send in the name of a representative man each.
Almost all the larger industries agreed without
any discord. Where the members of an industry
unable to agree, was the case with the
electricians, the boot and shoe trade and some
others, and the Mayor found that he could not
reconcile conflicting interests he has omitted TO
appoint any.
The Mayor said yesterday afternoon that ne
would send TO the Committee on Permanent Or
ganzation the names Of all persons who had been
recommended to him in any manner or by any
one whomsoever. A large majority of the men
appointed on the committees were selected by the
trades Where the Mayor could, he reconciled
the conflicting trade interests by putting one man
on as the representative Of the trade and by APP
pointing the other as his Independent appointment
In no case were personal recommendations con-
sidered and the appointments have been made
solely by industries with the exception of few
prominent public men who represent the city and
its interests at large, instead Of any distinctive
industry.
The Mayor feels that it is certainly happy
augury for the success of the Fair that so great
an interest has been taken in the selection OF
these committees by all the different business in
terests of the city, and that the selected are
of such prominence, not only in their respective
industries and trades, but in the city at large.
The committees are as follows

The Use Of the check-reIn

The pres throughout the country is taking
up this subject of the cruelty and needless
ness of the check-rein. Our readers may be
interested in a recent letter to the Indian
apolis News:
81 wish to call the attention of humane
people, and especially of those who belong
to the Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to animals, to the abuse of the check-rein
used on the brides of driving horses.
''By it horses are compelled to keep their
heads in very unnatural position for hours
together, and Of course suffer much pain.
Some people appear to try to make their
horses look as much like camels as possible; /;
for while horses neck is naturally arched
and the nose pointed downward, they check
him up to such an extent that his nose points
straight out and his eyes are so placed that
he cannot see the ground on which he is
travelling. This is surely not only inhuman
but ridiculous.
the trouble to uncheck their horses while
they are standing, for you may see the poor
animals hitched outside churches or business
houses with the check as tight as possible,
while they are trying to find relief by sway
ing. their heads from side to side. -, :.
If any one doubts the suffering a horse is
thus subjected to let him try it on himself
allow some enc to tie his head back so that
he appears to be star-gaZing and remain in
that position, say for fifteen minutes; that
"Tbe use Of these check-lines in England
dn milder form than many used here now)
was thought so inhuman that some years
ago the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals procured the enactment
of law prohibiting them, and they are now
entirely out of use. Such law would be
unnecessary If there were not so many peo-
pie who are not Intentionally but Thought
iessiy cruel to their dumb animals
II hope there are many who only require
their attention called to such an abuse to see
that it is no longer practised on their own or
any animals under their control"

Rev. Or. Hill on the Republics Duty
to its Children.

WASHINGTON. July 12.-Public opinion,
the eclectic journal Of Washington will to-
morrow publish papers from the pens of
Cardinal Gibbons, Rev. DIR. Thomas Hill,
ex-president of Harvard University, Rev.
DIR. Minot J. Savage of Boston and Prof. w.
T. Harris, editor of the Journal of Specula-
tive Philosophy on the question; "Is reli-
gious instruction in the public schools expe-
dientp If so what should be its character
and limitations.
Cardinal Gibbons says that education that
improves the mind and memory to the ne
glect of the moral religious training Is imper-
feet and defective. 1t is important that Guild
rem should breathe every day healthy
religious atmosphere in schools in which not
only is the mind enlightened but the seeds
of Christian faith and sound morality nour-
ished and invigorated. A combination of
religious and secular education is easily ac-
complished in denominational schools. To
what extent religion may be brought into
the public schools without infringing the
rights and wounding the conscience of some
of the pupils is grave problem very hard to
be solved.
Rev. DIR. Thomas Hill says that public
schools with compulsory attendance are an
essential adjunct to a republican form of
government. The public is bound to super
intend with care the education of the child
rem. Religious instruction is more than an
expedient and is demanded as a political me-
cessity. 1t must not be given by text books,
lectures and recitati0ns put must be given
incidently by the selection of teachers of
good character and good sense. by careful
selection of wholesome reading and bV daily

CoLEBRooK, N. H.. July l1.-It Is sup

alleged forgeries behind him Is In Canada.
Opinion Is divided as to whether or not the
missing man has large sum In his posses.
sion realized upon his transactions, but his
inexpensive manner Of life and the alleged
fact that he had invested largely In bonds in
Boston, claiming that he did II for his Gus
toners, would favor the belief that he has
not gone empty handed. The heaviest losers
are reported to be men in Portland, Me-, and
Colebrook, and Bradford and Wells River
banks. The collateral securities, used by
him and supposed to be all right. proved to
be spurious in the sense that they were du-
piicates and notes bearing forged Indorse-
ments. The Bradford bank recently lent
him $4,000 on collateral supposed to be gilt
edged which at present Is said to be entirely
worthless. The losers Of the Wells River
bank are not thought to be as heavy. The
alleged losses, so far as rumored are about
as follows: Benjamin Gathercole, $4,000 or
$4,000 Indebtedness and his name forged
upon paper to the amount Of $4,000; Benja-
min r. Gilman name upon paper in Portland
and perhaps other places to the extent Of
from $1,000 to $1,000, also collateral securi-
ties which are claimed to be forgeries:
wentworth Il Capen, merchants OF Cole
brook, heavy losers on check Endorsements;
others In Colebrook and Stewartstown, los
ers In amounts ranging from $500 to S2oO0;
John j. Bl0dgett, notes with Endorsements
claimed to be forgeries to large but unknown
amounts; Mrs. Charles Quimby Of Pittsburg,
between $1,000 and $1,000; Mrs. Marshall OF
Hereford nearly $4,000.
