HE Is ARRESTED IN COMPANY WITH TWO MEN OF
DOUBTFUL CHARACTER.
Joseph Campbell and Thomas Hendricks
young men. and Frank Wesley, ffteen-year-
old boy, were arraigned in the Police Court
this morning, charged with being suspicious
persons and Hendricks was also charged with
carrying blackjack. He pleaded guilty to the
latter charge. but they all denied that
they were Migrants. Lieutenant Amiss,
Detective Horne and Officer Board
man gave testimony against them. They were
arrestedin Kernan's theater as suspicious per-
sons. From what the officers could learn it ap-
peared that Campbell and Hendricks were
going to use the boy to climb through tran
SONS. One of them claimed to have come
from Wilmington while the other named Balti-
more as his home. When asked in court
whether they desired to make statement or
not they replied in the negative, but the Judge
was not satisfied with what he had learned Of
the boy and he was closely questioned. The
boy said that Wesley was his right name, but
that he sometimes went under the name of his
step-father, Fred Wolfe. The latter, he said,
lives in Apollo, near Pittsburg. Four months
ago, he said, he left home because his father ILL
treated him. A couple of days ago he was ar
rested IN Towsontown, Md, with Arthur Yeat-
man. for trying to beat freight to Wilmington.
Yeatman got him out, land he came here on
freight train. On the train he met his present
companions and last night they took him to
the theater. The judge said that this case
shows the necessity of a house of detention.
This boys mother, he thought. was probably
anxious to see her missing child. The boy said
he was fifteen years old, and the judge SEN
fenced him to the reform school. His COM
panions were required to give bonds or go
down for three months, and Hendricks was
fined $40 or 60 days additional for carrying the
blackjack

A CHILD'S EARLY EDUCATION.
Sensations and Feelings that Influence
the Future Life of an Infant.

We take little note Of the education which
goes on in a child's mind during the first years
OF his life, writes Principal James Donaldson,
in the Forum. Indeed, we take little note al
together of what we may call unconscious edu-
cation, and the unconscious action of the mind.
/ walked the other day along a crowded
thoroughfare for few minutes. and counted
the people that passed me. There were up
ward of three hundred. Each one Of these in
dividuals noted. recognized, at least. parts
OF their attire. l saw the features of their
faces, their mouths, their noses, their eyes.
In moving along noticed the stones Of the
pavement on which was walking. / avoided
the lamp-posts; observed the houses and
shops, and, indeed. wide range Of objects
came within my view. 1t would be difficult to
say how many things, and thoughts connected
with these things, passed before my mind dur
ing this short walk, but at least there were
many thousands.
All these objects and thoughts. there is rea-
son to believe, found permanent place in my
memory, produced certain effect on me, and
became. as 1t were, a portion of myself, but not
one OF these can / recall. They were all for a
single moment on the surface of consciousness,
and sank forever into the deeper and wider
abysses OF Inconsistencies. But doubtless
they give some color to my whole life So it is
with the infant. He sees and hears and feels
thousands of things during the period of his in
fancy. These sensations and feelings have an
mcalculable influence on his future powers and
character. And it is here at the commence
ment that we may expect indefinite inn
provement in the future of mankind. through
an improvement in the unconscious influences
that work on the child.
1t has often been observed that children have
nearly all finely developed foreheads, and no
one who takes an interest in children can have
failed to be struck with the exquisite beauty
that characterizes very many children of the
humblest classes who are brought up in healthy
places. In fact, sad degeneration takes place
in the looks of the humber classes as the child
grows to boyhood and the boy to manhood and
old age. And the question occurs: Might not
this degeneration be arrested? Surely this is
possible to large extent. Everything depends
on the treatment of the child in his earliest
years and on the character of the persons with
whom he comes in contact

A Colossal Blossom.

THE WORLDS LARGEST FLOWER FOUND ON MOUNT
PARAG.
From the Fttsburg Bulletin.
In the farthest southeastern island of the
PHILIPPINE group, Mindinao. upon one of its
mountains, Parag in the neighborhood of the
highest peak in the island the volcano Apo. a
party of botanical and ethnographical explor-
ers found recently, at the height of $500 feet
above the sea level, a colossal flower The dis
coverer, DR.. Alexander Schadenberg, could
scarcely believe his eyes when be saw amid the
low growing bushes the immense buds of this
flower, like gigantic brown cabbage heads
But he was still more astonished when he found
a specimen In full bloom. a five petaled flower
nearly yard in diameter-as large as a car
riage wheel, in fact This enormous blossom
was borne on a sort of vine creeping on the
ground. 1t was known by the native who ac-
companied DR.. Schadenberg, who called it
which the weight of the flower
could be ascertained. but they improvised
a swinging scale. using their boxes and speci-
mems as weights. Weighing these VIXEN oppor-
tunity served, il was found that a single flower
weighed over % pounds. 1t was impossible TO
transport the fresh flower, so the travellers pho
tographed it and dried a number of its leaves
by tie heat of a fire. DR.. Schadenberg then
sent the photographs and dried specimens TO
the royal botanical gardens at Breslau. where
the learned director immediately recognized il
as species Of raffiesia. a plant formerly dis
covered in Sumarra. and named after the Eng
llsh governor, Sir Stamford Rallies. The new
flower was accordingly named Rafflesia Scha-
denbergia. The five petals of this immense
flower are oval and creamy white. and grow
around center filled with countless long violet
hued stamens, thicker and longer in the fe-
male, or fertile flowers. than in the infertile.
The fertilization is accomplished by insects,
whose Larvae breed in the decaving flesh of its
thick petals. The fertile flower develops soft
berry-like fruit, IN which countless seeds are
imbedded. The flower exhales poisonous
gas, even when first opened

A Wronged Husbands Revenge.

HE FATALLY SLABS AND CUTS HIS wIFEs LOVER
A special to the Baltimore American from
Berlin, Worcester county, Md, says: ut has
just been made public that on Thursday last
Jas. NJ. Henry, wealthy young farmer living
near this place, caught his wife in the woods
near his house with Edward Bowen, hard
ware merchant of Berlin. A fight ensued, in
which Bowen was getting the best of it until
Henry drew knife and stabbed his opponent
twelve times. inficting serious if not fatal in
juries Mrs. Henry at once left and is supposed
to have gone to her relatives in Philadelphia.
Both the men are prominent, and efforts have
been made to keep the affair quiet. Mrs.
Henry is well connected in Philadelphia and is
independently rich. She left several children

Let the Girls PrOpose,

Henry Labouchere in New York World
There are over a million girls in England
who are not likely to get married In order to
remedy this state of things I would suggest
that the girls should be allowed to propose
in fact, that the counting and proposing should
henceforward be business appertaining alike
to both sexes. There are number of young
men who are shy They have a vague and
general idea of marrying, yet cannot screw up
their courage to the sticking point These,
were the road to matrimony made easy to
them, would succumb. If, in addition to this,
parents would have the sense to leave to their
daughters the same amount as to their sons,
and would let their intentions in this respect
be known, they would speedily reduce the
number of girls at present condemned to single
life

Longevity of the 'sGrand Army.o

From the Boston Transcript.
How long the Grand Army of the Republic
may survive as distinct and important organi-
cation may be guessed from glance at the
number of Harrison voters of 1910 who voted
for President Harrisons grandson in Novem-
Der. In Iowa there was a club of 5000 of these
men. and in Ohio the roll of 1910 Harrison
voters reached 6,83l. The Iowa members
names, ages and places of residence, in 1910 as
well as in 1888, were published by the Des
nine to ninety-seven. Allowing for the fact
that the soldier discharged in 1865 might have
been but eighteen years old, while the voter of
1910 must have been twenty-one, it appears
that the presidential election of 1916 will bear
about the same relation to the Grand Army
veterans that the election of 1888 bore to the
voters for William Henry Harrison. But after
that distant year the soldier vote"-unless we
have had some more wars in the meantime
will have ceased to be terror to the politi-
clans

over his mangled limbs. He was fully con-

pain or a complaint. When he was gotten out
he quickly removed quid of tobacco from his
mouth and threw it away with the remark that
he would never take one again. When the sun

limbs he took no anesthetic. Up the time of
his death, some hours afterward, he never
uttered complaint.
