ical Inspector O'Farrell has ordered that Mr..
O'Brien be given nourishing food The med
ical inspector asked Mr.. O'Brien to say what

he was ready to take the ordinary prison fare,
but that in other respects he wanted the kind
OF treatment that ought to be accorded to a
political prisoner.
The corporation council of Dublin adjourned
yesterday without transacting any business as
mark Of sympathy for Mr.. O'Brien.
MIR. John Morley, in a speech at Newcastle,
England, last night characterized the charges

should not object to wear prison clothes, if

He Owned the Boy.

From the New York Sun.
"A boy is a strange machine, isn't he?'
queried the colonel, as he looked out of the
Office window.
Il don't see anything SO very strange about
that particular boy" replied one of the other
loungers as he sauntered up and saw boy of
ten on the opposite side of the street.

"Well, what of it? Can't boy carry iug2''
But he is swinging it around his headn'

''Tll bet he breaks it before he gets to the
corner" exclaimed the colonel.

Half dozen rushed up to watch further pro-
ceedings. The boy continued to swing the
jug, apparently bent upon performing some
particular feat. and just before he reached the
corner his hand slipped and the jug was dashed
in pieces.
Il knew it. 1 knew it,'' chuckled the colonel
as he danced around.

An hour later, after spending the interval in

AN AMERICAN DUEL.
The Latest Explanation Of the Death
of Crown Prince Rudolph.

European gossip continues to busy itself
with stories of the manner in which Crown
Prince Rudolph met his fate. The latest comes
from Brussels 1t is asserted that the crown
prince became entangled in an affair Of honor
with high Austrian family, and that ii was
decided that the prince and a son of the fam
lily in question should fight duel on the So
called American plan, according to which
method dice are thrown to decide which of the
duelists shall commit suicide. The dice were
thrown and Rudolph lost The time specified
for the suicide of the loser was three months,
prince fulfilled his engagement and took his
own life. The fact that during the time men
toned Rudolph was apparently preparing for
his coming death seems to give color to the
foregoing story.
Dense throngs of people crowded to see the
remains OF the dead prince in the Caponchin
chapel in Vienna yesterday. The crush was so
great that the line of troops formed to keep
open way to the chapel was broken several
times, resulting In great confusion and the in
Jurlng OF twenty women. Many others who
got caught in the great crush tainted and were
with difficulty extricated and carried out from
the crowd. 1t was reported that one person
was fatally injured in the crush.
The hair is brushed back on the head Of the
dead prince, so as to expose to view the bullet
hole in the right temple.
Emperor Francis Joseph, in receiving Baron
Won Fejervary and other Hungarian ministers
yesterday, expressed his satisfaction at the
tone of the Vienna and Pesth journals with
reference to the political situation. The atti-
tude of the press, he said, had been q great
solace to him IN his grief.
The emperor has given orders for the COM
pletion of Rudolphs "Austria-Hungary in word
and picture"
Herr Won Szoegyenye, an official Of the i'm
perial household, has gone to Luxembourg to
take charge Of papers left by the crown prince.
The emperor and the empress go to Pesth on
Saturday next.
STILL ANOTHER SENSATIONAL STORY.
The Brussels correspondent of the London
Chronicle alleges that letter from the Vienna
correspondent of that paper asserts that when
the door of Crown Prince Rudolph's room was
forced open the body of beautiful young
Bohemian lady was also found. The cores
pendent also asserts that the crown prince first
killed her with a revolver and then shot him
self, and that the body of the lady was con-
yeyed secretly to the seat Of her family in
Bohemia Two other versions Of the alleged
double tragedy are current, and have already
been cabled abroad, but the foregoing account

A FARMHAND's CONFLICT IN A DARK PIT-DozENs
OF DEAD RODENTS.
A special to the Philadelphia Press from
Newton. Pa. February 2, says: Slas Berry of this
place, had an exciting fight with rats yesterday,
in which he won a costly victory He works on
farm near by, and yesterday morning entered
pit in which brewers grain is stored for feed
ing purposes. 1t is about 10 feet deep and is
entered by ladder. When Berry reached the
bottom a large rat ran up his trousers leg He
shook it out, when its squeals brought dozens
of rodents 70 its help. Berry was in total dark
ness and was attacked from all directions He
at once shouted for help and began fighting as
best he could After twenty minutes his cries
were heard and help came. When he was taken
out OF the pit he was completely covered with
blood. When fully convinced that he was safe
he tainted dead away from Joy. His body is
covered with bites and scratches, and it will be
long time before he RECEIVERS. Forty-eight
dead rats, some of enormous size. were taken
from the pit. having been killed by Berry in
his desperate fight.

Nj. GerOme on Art.

THE GREAT FRENCH ARTISTS FLING AT THE MOD
ERN REALISTIC SCHOOL.
From the Century.
You ask me about my method Of teaching.
1t is very simple, but this simplicity is the re-
suit Of long experience. The question is to
lead young people into a Straightforward, true
path; to provide them with a compass which
will keep them from going astray; to habituate
them to love nature (the true) and to regard it
with an eye at once intelligent delicate, and
firm being mindful also of the plastic side.
Some know how to copy thing, and will re-
produce it almost exactly; others put into il
poetry, charm power, and make Of it a work
of art. The first are workmen. the second are
artists. An abyss separates the mason from
the architect
To-day, in this epoch of moral and intellectual
disorder there seems to be a sovereign con-
tempt for those who seek to elevate themselves,
to move the spectator, to have some magma
ton; for those who are not content to remain
fettered to the earth, dabbling in the mud of
realism. 1t is to-day the fashion to which all
the world sacrifices, because it is only granted
to a few to have well-balanced mind, and
because it is easier to paint three fried eggs
than it is to execute the ceiling of the Sistine
chapel. But all this will pass like shadowy
phantom, and it need not make us uneasy.

PSYCHOLOGY IN EDUCATION.
Superintendent MacAlister Inveighs
Against Cigarettes and Tight-lacing.

From the Phisdephia Press. February3
superintendent of Schools James MacAlister
delivered the first Of series Of lectures on
psychology in its relation to education yester.
day morning before about 500 teachers, mostly
female, in the assembly room Of the Girls Nor.
NAL school. Among other things he said
at is only within the last half century that
education has been put in a scientific form, and
that is because We are now working with scien-
tific psychology. 1t is a science Of pure OBJ
servation and pursues its work chiefly and best
through experiment and comparison. De-
scription or introspection are also used, but
must be held subordinate. We must neces-
sarily study the body and mind in their init
mate relations, as mans nature is two-fold,
physical and psychical, or mind and body. The
two must exist together. but we must not con-
found them. knowledge of the nervous sys-
tenn is essential to a study Of the mind"
Mr.. MacAlister spoke of the evils of cigarette
smoking and tight lacing and advised the teach
ers to speak freely to the scholars on these SUBJ
jects, saying that the function of education is
the harmonious development and training of
all the powers Of body and mind. In conclus-
sion he said:
''To teachers the most important feature of
the study of psychology is the development
and growth of the mind. but we must distin-
guish between the two. The latter means in
crease of bulk, the former increase of completely
OF structure. They always run together. but
without parallelism. We may succeed in get
ting large number of facts in the child's
mind, but that is not education-there must be
developments. The best object for the student
OF psychology is little child. From six to
eight, ten or twelve years Of age, the memory is
most active, but the great trouble is that we
insist on protracting this period and require as
much memorizing in the high school as in the
primaries.
1.-THE perceptiye mower Is the first to appear
in the child then memory and new faculties,
which are at first only germs, and as such re-
quire strength. The dreadful mistake we have
made all along is forgetting that reason is SIM
ply term; hence the folly and destruc-
tiveness of expecting a child, six, seven, eight,
or nine years to reason out an arithmetical
problem. He can be taught to say it, but he
don't know it. The process Of the develop
ment of reason begins in sensation, then per-
ception, memory, imagination, conception,
Judgment, and reasoning power, and is from
simple to complex. 1t is operated on by two
factors, the fundamental capacity of the mind
and hereditary, and the external Of physical
environment. All education that is not en-
pericism must rest on psychology"

A Blaine Mans VIII.
THE GOVERNMENT LIKELY TO GET 100000 OUT
OF MR.. MERRIA,is ESTATE.


OF MR.. MERRIAMs ESTATE.
New York special to the Philadelphia Press
says: Surrogate Tuthill has issued citation
for the probate of the will OF NJ. W. Merriam,
the eccentric Suffolk county schoolmaster, who
willed his property in bulk to the United States
government. The executor c. B. Ackerly, in
searching for the assets found ISL 900 in Mer-
RAMS room in Northport 1t was tucked away
in old letters, books, and corners of old trunks
and valises. 1t is thought that when his
money is all got together it will amount to
more than 100000. He has a sister, who, it is
said, is worth $500, 900. One reason he gave
for willing his money to the government was
that it was rich and could afford to fight his
sister if she attempted to contest the will. His
sister it was said, will not contest the will, as
there are some unpleasant family affairs, which
would necessarily come to light in the contro-
versy. Mr.. Merriam was a jealous Blaine man.
He refusedto vote the republican ticket last
fall because his favorite was not at the head of
it. When the success of the republican party
became known he at once named Blaine as his
choice for Secretary of State. He said if Blaine
were not appointed he would change his will
and cut off the government. He fell dead in
his schoolroom at Springs last Wednesday. He
