AS NORMAL schools are chiefly for
the education of those presumed to be
constituted for teachers and guides to
others, it is somewhat peculiar that very
rigid constraints are generally deemed
requisite for them. The young ladies are
discouraged from receiving attentions

a lady pupil at Massachusetts normal

arrive early and do not attract any
from their home in Madison avenue,
says the New York World. The state
ment was published that Mrs. CIeve
land was to formally unite with the
church at the morning service. The
error was probably due to the fact that
she had decided to join the church on
the first Sunday in the month. which
proved to be rainy, unpleasant day,
and it was supposed that the bad wealth
er would have kept her away.
1t did not. Even had she been
absent the formality of Teceiv-
ing her into this church would
have been gone through just the same.
Her name. with that of twenty other
members. was read by the pastor, Rev.
Wilton Merle Smith. The twenty-one
names were those of members of that
communion who had come to the Cen
trail church from other cities, bringing
letters of transfer from their pastors.
During the reading of the announce
ment Mrs. Cleveland did not leave her
pew, neither did any other of the TWEEN
ty-One whose names were read. Mr..
Cleveland was with his wife.
1t was strange thing yesterday to
see the man who twelve months ago
would have been followed by a crowd,
walking calmly and slowly with his wife
across Fifty-seventh street. Few of
the many hundreds along the way
from the Cleyelands' home, on Madison
avenue, recognized them, and the few
who did stared politely and with friend
Iy interest. The ex-president wore
silk hat, not too new, his inevitable and
statesmanlike frock coat and a dark
Oyprcoat Mrs Cleveland handSomer
than ever and as young looking, wore
quiet gown of seai-br0Wn cloth and
modest hat.
The Clevelands occupy pew half
way between the door and the
platform. 1t is on the left side of the
church. The ex-president looked tram
gull and paid heed to the sermon. Mrs.
Cleveland Joined in the congregational
singing and paid devout attention to the
services. When the congregation was
dismissed the ex-presidential family
walked away in the bright February
sunshine much the same as other peo-
pie did.

1t appears to be reasonably certain
that the Republicans in congress will

a bill in the senate for the publication

the bill appropriates $4,000 for the

AN INDIANA court gave reputable
farmer six months in the county Jail, in
addition to 5000 fine. for beating his
wife. The chances are that the woman
will get up petition to have him par

of the sex. 1t is perhaps a weakness,
but sort that angels may be supposed
to possess. A man who strikes a

only bare walls to vent his barbarity
upon. Possibly he will be DISTINGUISHED

RECENT experiments have been made
on the old theory that the last object
upon which the eye rests imprints
itself upon the retina. Some English
scientists made the test with a rabbit,
and found very clear impression of
the object before the a nimal. 1t is sup
posed that this can be made useful in
some cases in the detection of criminals.
If parties being killed are careful to get
the focus and light right and keep their
eyes on the murderer in the expiring
moment, they may leave his photograph
on the eye. This is the theory, at least.

THE RIGHT YEAR,

When congress finally desIgnates Its
choice of the contestants for the worlds
fair, it is to be hoped all the bad blood
developed IN the contest will disappear,
and enthusiastic unanimity In favor of
the enterprise follow. There should be
no more talk of postponing 1t. The
year 1892 is the only one that Is fitting.
Those who would substitute 1898 or 1895
present no substantial reasons for the
change. The one most urged is that
1892 is presidential year, and it will be.
mixed up with politics too much. The
people will be so engrossed with the
election as not to give it proper atten-
ton. The centennial at Philadelphia
shows that there is nothing in this.
That was hot campaign and a good
deal nearer the war, but there was no
intimation that politics was about the
exhibition, nor were the patriots dis
turbed i'll saving the country. 1t was
held at the great Republican city of the
country, and yet the Democrats
elected their president, even If he
did not quite get into the White
house. Recent events in New
YORK snow that the people do not m can
to let the PLArrs and party bosses
make political machine of it. The
patronage connected with it, if con-
trolled for party benefit, would be
much greateri if the fair were held year
later, as the preparatiye forces would
be in full operation in 1892. The sug-
gestion of too little time to pre-.
pare for it would have some
force If in the days of COLUMBUS,
or even the last century; but things
move faster now, and steam and cleo
tricity are rapid agents. There will be
two full years after the location IS made
and the organization effected. That is
not too long, nor is it insufficient. An
exhibition Of modern productions should
also indicate the enterprise and alert
ness of the age. The most progressive
and stirring nation in the world would
not keep its lead if 1t could not get up a
worlds exhibit on shorter time table
than the old countries have used.

THE reports of the horrible atrocities
in the treatment of political prisoners,
including women, by the Russian au-
th0rities in Siberia seem to he confirmed
so as to leave little doubt of their
truth. They would excite prompt pro-
test by other nations if Russia were not
great power, with navies and
armies. 1t is a singular coincidence
that the statement now appears that the
Russian government designs to hold in
st. Petersburg this year centennial
observance of the death of JOHN How
ARD, the great prison reformer and
philanthropist. He never found In the
prisons of the last century anything to
compare in cruelty and fiendishness
with the Russian barbarities with the

The Astor
Property.

Property YORK is estimated at
S100,000, 900, all of
which. with the exception of a few
trif1ing millions. is in real estate, says q
Philadelphia paper. Abner Bartlett,
who. with Mrs. Bartlett, is guest of
the Bellevue. and will remain there sew
eral days. is the absolute manager of all
this vast wealth in ground and houses.
He has been in the service of the FAM
lily for many years. and they repose in
him such implicit confidence that he
controls and transacts every detail of
the vast and complicated business
from which the administration of so
enormous an estate is inseparable. No
Astor knows or cares to know
anything about the routine of
the management, and among the
snrewdest business men of New
York it is often said that Mr.. Bartlett is
simply invaluable to the family, into
whose hands he pays an income esti-
mated at from $780, 900 to S6,gO0.00O q
year. His position is one of larger
trust than that of any bank or other cor
.pOration president in the country: for,
while he could not possibly be persuad-
ed to speak of his business affairs, IL is
the general suppostion that because Of
the confidence placed in him there are
no checks imposed upon his handling of
the properties. He is quite unassuming
in appearance, rather retiring in his
manner. but thorough business man
from top TO toe. He is fond of coming
to Philadelphia for rest and the enjoy
ment of the society of few friends.

Financial Simplicity Of the Beers.

A certain Mr.. F., wishing to pur-
chase farm in Africa, the Boer pro-
prietor diligently refused to accept bills,
checks or notes. He would have his
price ($125, ,OOW in sovereigns, or he
would not sell. So the golden bullion
was with much. trouble brought to the
house. "Will you not stop to dinners"
asked the farmer, and at its conclusion
Mr.. F., when bidding adieu, observed:
"Well, suppose we may at last con-
slider our transactions quite complete"
'Not Quite" said the Boer; "you still
owe me eighty-seven cents for the din
ner." The next episode was that the
farmer, worried with the custody of so
much coin in his house, resolves with
many misgivings to pay the purchase
money into the Standard Bank, but the
following week he demands to withdraw
his deposit, and the hard cash is again
produced. He counts it over carefully,
and, once more reassured, shoves it back
into the cashiers hands. The Beers do
not, in fact, seem to have the slightest
comprehension of the first principles of
finance. Another of this class asked a
bank what would be the terms for his
proposed deposit of S125, 900. "We will
give you six per cent" replied the
clerk, not understanding the drift of the

OutWitting q Shirker.

An Anglo-Indian officer, of the Bengal
Artillery, relates an anccdote of one Of

known as malingerers, but whom common
people would call shirks. A gunner,

not if my life depended on it." As there
was heavy drilling going on at this
time, DR.. Triton formed his own opln-
ion of the case, and determined to let the
man work out his own cure. He ordered
Crabb's breakfast to be placed on high
cupboard in the wall, to reach which the
paticnt would have to stand erect. At
dinncr-time the cook reported Clabb's
breakfast to be untouched. ''Put his
dinner in the same place, commanded
DR.. Triton, and the treatment was con-
tinued throughout the day. The next
morning when the doctor called to see
his patient, he found that his prescrip-
ton had been cfficacious. Crabb had
eaten his supper and breakfast, and de-
clared himself fit for duty. Cupboard
