BRACELETS FORBIDDEN.
Reasons for Prohibiting These Orr

Reasons for Prohibiting These Orna-
ments in n school for Young Girls.
The scholars of the School of Practice, on
Spring Garden street, below Seventeenth,
upon whom the young women of the Normal
School are supposed to try their prentice
hands before becoming full-blo teachers,
are just now the object of an educational
experiment that has made their little souls
hot with Indignation. The girls, most of
whom come from the surrounding neighbor-
hood, and are OF well-to-d0 families, have
been ordered not to wear bracelets, and these
ornaments are now no longer seen in the
class-roomS.
This curious edict was issued a few days
ago by Miss Hail, the principal of the
school, and led to a vigorous protest from
the larger girls who wore the obnoxious
ornaments upon their wrists. Miss Hall in
sisted, however, and so far carried her
point that all but two of the scholars took
off their bracelets. In the case of those two
the parents made such lively objections to
any such exercise of authority by the teach
ers that the matter was not pushed, and the
two retain the taboOed ornaments.
1t is said that some OF the others, while
nominally complying with the new decree,
manage to Secrete the precious but forbidden
bracelet under cuff and sleeve, and that this
form of adornme2t of the feminine person
is now more popular in the School OF Prac-
tice than before.
When Miss Hall was asked the reason for
this prohibition of the bracelet she replied:
81 think bracelets are unnecessary on the
wrists OF schoolgirls, and hence l requested
them not to wear any. They are noisy, and
interfere with writing and other hand work.
Then again the children who wear them are
the envy of those who have none, AMI | be-
lieve it is our duty to teach the little ones
that such things as bracelets are not neces-
sary to happiness. School is not che place
to air finery.

not so attractive thlt the attention is di-
rected to dress instead of books. Jewelry

disease should not make 1t the object OF their lives

resigned to life OF misery rather than torture
themselves with doubtful palliatives.

for centuries in the place where he was born.
While he was boy his father settled on an
estate in Holstein, then in Denmark. He
and brother were sent to Copenhagen to
receive a military education, and in 1922 lie
entered the Prussian Army as cornet
after period of study in the Prussian Mill

About this time he was left to his own re-
sources, his parents having lost all their

has proved to be Of great use to him.
As member Of the general staff he
passed several years in Turkey, where he
served in one campaign. He returned to
Prussia in 1915, when he was appointed
Adjutant to Prince Henry. Several works
from his pen. descriptive of what he saw In
Turkey, were published about that time
anonymously, provoking considerable inter-

Ii the sensational charges preferred
against the management of the State Prison
at Saltwater are well founded-and they are
backed by what appears to be incontrovert-
ible evidenee-that institution is q veritable
paradise for criminals, declares st. Paul
dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. The State
Prison is intended 10 be both 4 reformatOry
and an institution in which are confined per-
sons whose crimes against society have
rendered them, dangerous to the pub
lie, Under the present management
1t Is matter of public comment in
the city of Saltwater that prisoners Of the
most dangerous character are allowed to run
at large on almost all occasions. The notori-
GUS Cole Younger, one of the band of out
laws that murdered in cold blood the cashier
OF the Northfield Bank, is allowed to walk
the streets of Saltwater whenever he so de-
sires. This is only one of the many charges
made, and it is substantiated by pass
signed by Warden Randall, ordering all
guards TO permit Younger to go beyond the
prison limits: Another prisoner doing life
term, Ole N0rtronp, one OF tie most deS-
perate of his class, and who is supposed to
be paying the penalty for numbering his own
father, whose body he danced over and then
threw into the cellar, is allowed the full
liberty of resi- ectable citizen by Governor
Merrlam'S appOintee.
This is proven by the affidavits OF G. Haws
apd Dennis Crotty, lumbermen Of Still
water. HawS swearS that he has seen con-
victs from the Minnesota State Prison in the
State of Wisconsin fishing. among them be-
ing Nortrone. Crotty makes affidavit that
ON several occasions he has seen Ole Nor
trone, Fl. III. Ross aud George Washington,
all lie cOnvicts in the Minnesota Peniten-
tiary, fishing in the State of Wisconsin. 1t
Is also charged that the citizens of Saltwater
and vicinity are being plundered by The very
convictS, who are granted nearly all the
privileges of citizenship. One incident of
this kind is the case of the Minnesota
Threshing Machine Company, which has an
old warehouse in the city in which is
stored the brass and other works of dis
mantled engines. The Superintendent of
the company noticed that large amo unit of
this brass and iron had disappeared. and
placed the matter in the hands of the Chief
of Police Of Saltwater. That official, after
considerable investigation, found the prop
erty in possession of Moses Burnstein, an
iron dealer of this city, who gave him in
formation that led to the discovery Of the
real thief, Ole NOrtrone, the murderer of
his father Burnstein says that he had paid
Nortrone at various times over $500 for iron
and brass SOLD to him. The charges have
created considerable excitement among poll

evening were a party Of young would-b be

was out of his teens. They were smoking
cigarettes, and by their loud manners and
talk made themselves very conspicuous.
They were all the more noticeable as they
occupied a table directly in front and very

When Miss Suits came out to do her
sketch one of the little fellows began to
''cluck" at her in the most offensive manner.
1t attracted attention and greatly annoyed
the singer. AS she finished and was leaving
the platform she warned him not to do so
again. When Miss Suits came out in re-
sponse to an encore the young "blood" re-
peated the "clucking" louder and more
0ffensively than before. Suddenly Miss
Suits ran to the edge of the stage and raised
her whip. The fellow was In easy reach and

SATISFACTION DEMANDED.


Trouble Over the Arrest of an American Sub
jet at Constantiuople
CoNsTANrINoPLE. Oct. 26.-Trouble has
arisen between Hirsch, the American Minis
ter and the Porte over the arrest of an
American subject on suspicion of being inn
plicated in Armenian revolutionary plots.
The accused is a graduate of Bowdoin Col
lege. He came to Turkey during the ad-
ministration of President Hayes to found
an American college, but the project fell
through and be has since remained here.
Minister Hirsch secured his release pend
ing trial. and sent an energetic protest to the
Foreign Minister against the violation of the
right Vi domOcile of an American Citizen
and demanded satisfaction and the punish
ment of the official who ordered his arrest.
He further declared he would refuse to pro-
duce the accused unless satisfaction was
granted, and until informed of the nature
of the charge against him. A statement
was sent 10 Minister Hirsch that the ac-
cused had engraved a seal for secret Ar
menian Commit ee. Proof was produced
that the man had no knowledge of The art
of engraving and had recently been acting
as agent tor an American firm engaged in
the manufacture of photograph apparatus.
The Government then expressed regrets.
Minister Hirsch. however, still maintains
his demand for satisfaction.

QUINCY lMass.), Oct. 26.-Rev. Mr.. and
and Mrs. Dinick of Los Angeles, two of the
victims of the terrible railway accident
here, are so far recocered as to be able
in few days to resume the jour
nry which came to such horrible
end ON that fatal August day. For
long time it was confidently expected that,
due to the severity of their burns and their
age, neither would recover, but both have
come through in fine shape. To all appear
ance, they do not seem to have been injured
to any great extent, but the burning
was confined to the lower extremities,
and was n terrible test to their vital powers.
Hearing of their preparation for removal,
the Old Colony Railroad has extended to
William Dimick the use of a private Wagner
car, which has been accepted, and is now
being fitted out with all the necessary
articles for SICK and well. The party goes

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Ex-Alderman William
p. Whelan was shot and mortally wounded
in State-street resort early Sunday morn
ing by George II. Hathaway, a gambler.
Whelan died this afternoon. The story, as
told by eye-witnesses of the shooting, was
that Whelan and one McGinnis, an officer Of
the Health Department of this city, had
been out drinking all Saturday night, and,
reaching this saloon, sat down to have
lunch. While they were eating and drink
ing Hathaway came in and was asked to
join them. and soon after sitting down he
began to flourish revolver. Whelan de-
manded that he put it up, or that he would
be made to do it, and. after some further
words, Hathaway shot Whelan, the ball
passing clear through his body and striking
the spine.
Hathaway was seen in prison by several
reporters, and told conflicting stories. the
last one being that he was attacked by Nc
Ginnis, and that in defending himself the
shooting occurred. WHAT the trouble was
with Whelan he would not say. There is
evidently a story behind it,

A party of young men from Winona, at
Marshall, were out duck hunting a few days
since. As they were watching the flying of
the ducks over the lake one came within
gunshot of them. 1t was shot by Harry L.
Melvin, and came down into the water
few rods from the shore. 1t lay floundering
there, the hunters having no way of getting
it. The dog was lame and no boat was at
hand. While pondering and trying to
devise some means to reach the game
large hawk came flying overhead.
The hawk spied the duck and soon
commenced circling around, and in few
moments shot down out of the air. seziug it,
commenced flying over the young hunters
head. Thereupon Mr.. Melvin blazed away
at the hawk, which came down with thud
few feet away with the duck, thereby
saving all trouble of wading or swimming
after the game. Who will say that Wiaona
hunters are not ahead this year? By the
by, this was the first duck ever shot by Mr..
Melvin. He will probably shoot thousands
more before he has another one retrieved in
that fashion.-Forest and Stream.
