SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.

For a number of years there has
been a more or less desultory discus
sion as to the advisability of estab-
fishing a school of journalism. In
these days when so many men who
can construct a categorical sentence
imagine themselves born journalists,
perhaps a little preliminary instruc-
ton would not be amiss. But after
all. journalism is the science Of con-
temporary history and the best pre-
paratory instruction is the school of
current events.
By the midnight fire and the muir
der in the slums; beside the police
Justice; in the divorce court; with
the rummiest politician and at the
ball of my lady; between the wheels
of trade and the roar of thousand In
dustries: wherever man is at his best
and worst, where he worships God
and courts the devil, there is jour
nalism's kindergarten, there you will
learn the alphabet. For what is jour
nalism? The lesson of tomorrow is
the story of to-day.

WIRE-BARBED fencing has proved
to be a godsend to English farmers.
They are using it around their fields
quietly to annoy and prevent fox hun
ters from trampling their crops.
They say nothing of the sort, of
course, only keep on putting up the
barbs as a convenient and cheap
fence. The horses and hounds are
very often injured by these fences.
There is no law to prevent the use of
the wire, and not likely to be. So q
revolution is wrought in the manners
of English barristers and parsons and
gentlemen by the bits of twisted wire
invented for us on our western prai.
ries, where timber is scarce.

PHILADELPHIA has learned some
thing of the dangers of the electric
light through the Temple theater fire.
The coroner's jury that was sum-
moned to consider the death of the
two firemen who were killed by the
falling building, made q thorough in
vestigation of the fire. 1t was estab-
lished that defective electric light
work was responsible for the disaster.
OF most importance, however, was a
warning of the circumstances that
made electric lighting dangerous. De
fective insulation, where wire passes
through woodwork, is likely to set the
wood on fire. Two wires passing
through woodwork close together,
may set up cross currents if the wood
be moist. The incandescent electric
lamp will set light fabrics on fire if
they hang against it. The companies
are frequently careless in placing
large plugs on small wires, and the
strength of the current will at last
burn off the covering and bring the
wire to red heat. In spite of the COM
parative safety of electric lights, it is
very evident that they are notwithout
their dangers. The investigations OF
the Philadelphia jury should be prof
liable to other cities.

A NEW weekly paper at Cincinnati
is entitled the Weather Journal.
Cincinnati is a great town for class
publications, and some of these class

in journalism. The Commercial Ga

the greatest military journal of the
age.

IDAHO and Wyoming territories,
which will be the next to come, claim
to have a population sufficient to be-
come states. Idaho has an estimated
population of $4,000, and Wyoming
probably about two-thirds of that
number. But probably neither will
come in until they have a population
of 100000.

sHE KNOWS THE WORST At LAST.
Miss vandervoort Hears That She Has Been
Shot and Must Lose the Sight
Of all Eye.
Helena Journsll

Miss NandervOort, the young woman
who was accidentally shot 10y Arthur
McCutcheOn, is now pronounced en-
tirely out nj danger, She knows her
condition and what has happened to
her, and was yesterday removed to
the residence of a. 4. Logan, where she
is being n'irsel by Mrs. Southmayd.
The process OF breaking the news tn
the girl concerning the loss oi one of
her eyes has been painful and pro-
tracted. She had been told at first
and all along that she had fallen and
struck her head against the corner oil
a desk. This was done to account for
the pain in the head and the wound at
the back OF the skull. On Tuesday
she was told that her illness had been
much more serious than she seemed o
have any idea OF. She made no par
ticuiar comment on his beyond say
iny that she had felt pretty well all
along and did not believe she WAS very
sick. The next day she was told that
SHE was st i'll i'll and her condition
serious one, and finally her father.
after doing what he could to prepare
her for it, told her that she had been
shot through the head. She was nat
urally shocked by this news, as WAS
shown by a slight shrinking motion
when she heard it. but all she sand was:
"Well, ] got of lucky" Then she
asked if her mother knew about it,
and was answered "yes.'
When she said, with II pathetic at
tempt at - Joke, that she must now 10

her father said: "Ies, and you have
been in all the papers from New York
to San Francisco" Then the acci-
dent, Of which she remembered moth
ing, was described to her, and with tho
arms Of Mrs. Sutherland folded ten
,lerly about her, she was informed oi
the loss Of her eye. II H. probable
that the meaning OF the bandage which
has been kept constantly over the
sightless socket and the alert watch
fulness Ot her nurses Ia See that she
never moved II or went near II looking
glass, had been slowly dawuing upon
her for the past week. ior all she SAID
when she heard the awful news was:

seem to see as well as ever" This all
occurred at the hospital. Yesterday
