RELIGION NINTHE SCHOOLS.
Catholic Pupils Wouldn't Study Les
sons on the Reformation.

PITTsFIELD, Mass, February 24.-Consid-
erable feeling has resulted in educational
circles from the action taken by Principal
Walsh of the High school, who today ex-
PEELED six scholars, the children of Roman
Catholic residents of the town. About a
week ago, in the regular course of study in
history, the class came to the subject of the
Reformation. The book used was Myers.s
Medieval History, which is considered very
liberal by the school committee. Six schol-
ars refused to learn the prescribed lesson, on
religious grounds. Principal Walsh told the
pupils they need not study that portion of
the book If their parents would send him no
tice giving them permission to skip the OBJ
noXious chapters. A few days later he re-
ceived sort of round-robin document,
signed by the parents of the scholars, de-
claring their opposition to the study of
the Reformation by their children. Mr..
Walsh was not satisfied with this, and de-
manded that he should have personal notice
from each parent. This was refused, and
the suspension of the pupils followed today
The school committee and Superintendent
Day sustain the principal in his action. 1t
Is feared that considerable trouble and hard
feeling will result in consequence.

The House Yesterday Voted in Favo,

[Snecial to the Pres!

Especial to the Press.l
WASHINGTON, February 24.-Chicago led
on the first ballot today and led on every
other until she won the worlds fair so far as
the House can dispose of it. The jealousy of
st. Louis did not avail to bring much west
ern support to New York and some eastern
strength went west. Of the Maine delegation,
Mr.. Milliken who voted first for Washington
changed finally to Chicago, and Mr.. Boutelle
who voted first for New York finally changed
to Chicago also. Messrs. Reed and Dingley
voted for New York.continuously. Chicago's
strength was largely Republican which
seems to show that many Republicans feared
lest the putting of the great fair in Demo-
cratic city like New York that is also pieo-
tai point might help the Democrats in spite
of all precautions. General sentiment here
is that Chicago is entitled to the fair by the
hard work that her men have done and that
she will make it great success. There was
great interest and excitement during the vot-
ing. The bill will now be considered with
Chicago inserted and probably be passed
and sent to the Senate.

BOSTON, February 24.-In speech before
he Harvard Club in Philadelphia, Saturday
night, President Eliot of Harvard College
was reported as making savage attack upon
newspaper men in general, and Boston re-
porters in particular. He was quoted as say
ing that they were "drunkards, thieves, dead
beats and bummers." Such language on
President Eliots part aroused great indigna-
tion in this city. A Journal representative
Interviewed him this afternoon. President
Eliot absolutely denied using the words Civ
en- In the quotation ohove. The point he in
tended to make was that more care should be
taken by the newspaper managers in select
ing their men. To illustrate, he instanced
that four men were employed on Boston
papers in one year who were discharged from
Harvard College for disgraceful offences.
Another point wGs that the right training for
an editorial writer could be obtained in any
college with an elective system, and there
fore he thought the degree of B. A. better for
a journalist than the degree of any special
school. He never thought of calumniating
the reporters, whom he had generally found
honest and laborlOus.

Cardinal Gibbons and the Negro.

BALTIMORE, Md, February A.-In his ap-
peal yesterday for aid in behalf of the negro
and Indian missions, Cardinal Gibbons said :
There are about 100000 of negroes in
has become serious problem to the Ameri-
can people. The best solution of the prob
lem, in my judgment, will be found in Chris
tianizing the negroes. In some sections of
the country, il reports are true, their reli-
ism, and is entirely emotional, devoid of all
religious restraints and obligations. The
negro race are naturally religious people.
They are kind, affectionate and grateful,
submissive to authority, and their conduct
toward the close of the war, when they had
the power to do mischief, was above all
praise. BY proper religious and Christian
instruction they are sure to become most
useful element in the community"
The congregation made generous re-
Sponse to the appeal of the cardinal.
