MANUAL TRAINING

In the Public Schools is Recommended By
the State Commission.
tFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, February 14.-The COM
mission appointed by the Governor to devise
ways and means of introducing manual
training into the public schools held its
final meeting in this city to-day, adjourn
ing at late hour tonight. DIR. Atherton,
of the State College. presided. The other
members of the commission are Prof. Luckey,
of the Pittsburg schools; DR.. Scheaffer, of
Kutztown; Representative Bean, of Norris
town, and DR.. Adam II. Fetterof, President Of
Girard College.
The commission, before adjourning, put its
plans in the form of bill, which Mr.. Bean
will tom orrow introduce in the House of Rep
resentatives. 1t provides for the Industrial
training of both sexes, but its or1ginators lay
great emphasis on the statement that it does not
compulsory in its provisions. Special instruct
ors are provided, but it is designed that in time
the ordinary instructors shall add the teaching
of the manual branches to their present ac-
complishments. Nothing is taken away from
the present studies Tools and machinery will
be required, as it is intended the pupils shall
learn their use in working in metal and wood.
Domestic economy in general will be taught
the girls, and the implements used in the
kitchen, the sewing room and other things
necessary to the proper education of young
lady to take her place as successful house
wife will probably be as common in the schools
as the tools and machinery for the training Of
the boys. The amount required to put the
system into operation is not stated, and will. in
fact be dependent on the rapidity whith which
the system is adopted. Attention is, however,
called to the fact that the Education Commit.
tee OF the House this year asks an additional
appropriation for the schools of S5OO,0O0.

MYERS RECEPTION.
How the Western Light Weight Was Re.
ceived ut Streator.

celve0 At Streutors
STREAToR, ILL, February 1.-THE Myer
contingent arrived home from the battlefield
about o'clock this evening" They were met
at the depot by an immense crowd of citizens of
all grades and professions Myer jumped into
a hack and was driven to Kennedy's place, fol-
lowed by the crowd, which pressed in and
around the building. Everybody was anxious
to catch glance of the champion, for so they
regard him. Billy shook hands with as many as
possible, and soon went to his fathers home,
where he spent the evening. He shows but lit
self as feeling well, except little soreness.
Lees saws he was as fresh at the end Of the
fight as at the beginning. which is corroborated
by others, who saw that he chatted and joked
all the way home on the train, showing no signs
of exhaustion whatever.
There is deep and bitter discomfort among
MYERS friends about the decision of the referee
in declaring the fight a draw. The opinion IS
unanimous that it was entirely unwarranted
have won the fight had the contest been per-
mitted to go on. Myer, it is said, intended to
fight defensive fight, because of the immense
amount of money staked on him by poor
people, who could not afford to lose it. He did
not feel that he ought to venture in aggressive
tactics, and take the risk of a Knockout blow,
while these interests depended upon him. He
was prepared to fight hundred rounds If need
be. and regulated himself accordingly. Myer
tended to challenge McAuliffe to finish fight
through the Sporting Club, of San Francisco.
Lees expressed the opinion that McAuliffe
would not meet Myer again under any clrcum-
stances. though there might be a lot of bluster.
The clamor here is all for another meeting.

THE fact that booksellers have over and over
again been discharged by the police courts
when arrested by the police. on the claim that
they acted only as common carriers in receiv-
ing money TO be wagered at the race courses
out of the city, has annoyed District ATTORNEY
Fellows. Yesterday he. wrote to the Police
Board: "The purpose then of the booksellers
in resorting to the fiction of acting as agents
fo= the would-be bettor, to place his money at
the race course, is to evade the law by trick
and the kind of evidence the police should OBJ
tain in making these arrests is evidence that
will satisfy reasonable men that the form of
the transaction is a mere trick to evade the
law"

A Remarkable Rabbit.

There is q large white male Angora rabbit that
hops about the Rambo House stable yard that
excites considerable attention from the fact
that, instead of seeking safety upon the ap-
pearance of any strange dog in the yard, it at
once becomes pugnacious and attacks the in
truding canine. The rabbit was as timid as
any other representative of its species when it
was placed in the yard several months ago to
keep company with a large handsome St. Ber-
nard dog that is familiarly known by the name
of Topsy. A friendship sprang up at once be-
tween the two, and their daily romps together
surprise everyone visiting the hotel
The other day a we'll physician en-
tered the yard accompanied by very large
dog. He saw the rabbit and dog at play. and
was greatly surprised and amused to see the
rabbit catch the dog by the throat and shake it
vigorously. He expressed doubts that the rab-
bit would attack his dog in the same manner,
and, upon being assured it would, urged his
dog on. The dog made a spring at the rabbit,
which was on the alert, and securedits favorite
grip upon the dogs throat, where it clung,
midst the howls of the dog, until compelled to
let go its hold.-NorriStoUn Times.
