and the model school pupils were decidedly
attractive in thei, examples of work exc
cuted bv their respective occupants.
The model school apartments, including
the assembly room and its suite of recitation
rooms on ordinary occasions peopled with
200 little folks from to IA years of age,
were very interesting, as on all sides was to
be seen specimens of writing, drawing and
kindergarten work done by tiny.fngers. A
visit was also made, during the evening, to
the chapel, the platform of which under the
skillful fingers Of the teachers of the school,
who had formed themselves into decorative
committee for the purpose, had been most
gracefully and artistically trimmed with
Towering plants, easels and pictures.
Tne space in front of the triple window of
stained glass which lights the arched alcove
platform was occupied by towering palms
and other beautiful foliage plants, the dra-
peries Of snowy lace were festooned with
bright green vines, and a pyramid of gera-
NUNS in full blossom was arranged to the
left, while the piano, with numerous bou-
quets of exquisite flowers occupied the op-
posite side. Chairs to accommodate all the
trustees of the school and a number of Wis
itors were also placed on the platform. be-
side the speakers stand.
SOCIETY ROOMS VISITED.
After viewing the beauties of the Mat.
form and the chapel proper, which testifes
in glowing loveliness to the artists skill. a
visit was made to the society rooms, which
are in reality elegant parlors, with their
velvety carpets, pretty drapings and COM
Portable chairs. The two societies of the
school-Clionian and Philomathean-were
in session, but by previously understood
signal, given by DR.. Moss, an entrance into
the secret chambers was gained by the explor-
ing party. One society, out o: compliment
to the visitors. dispensed with the regular
order of exercises, and short addresses were
made by the guests. The other society was
engaged in an earnest debate on "Compul-
sorry Education" which was intensely inter-
esting as handled by the young students.

They certainly were a curious set of
chessmen, magnificent in way, but curious
first OF all. As NJ. Bobineau remarked,
holding rock in one hand and knight in
the other, the care paid to details by the
carver really was surprising. But 25O

nit that the work is good-in kind of
way. But 250 francs! If it were so, now?'
Fifty? Up went NJ. Robineau's shoul-
ders, and down went NJ. Boblneau's head
between them, in the fashion of those toys
which are pulled by string. 'Ah, mon
Dieu! Monsieur laughs at me!'
And there came another voluble declara-
tion OF their merits. They certainly were
curious set. I really think they were the
most curious set 1 ever saw. IwouId have
preferred them. for instance, to anything
they have at South Kensington, and they
have some remarkable examples there. And,
of course, the price was small-I even ad-
NIT it was ridiculouslY small. But when

Gompers Has a Plan for Stopping Contract
Labor Importations--The Investiga-
tioa of a Promising Case of
Bigamy Spoiled.

Bigamy spoiled.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE D1sPArcHi
NEW YORK, April 11-President Com
pers, of the American Federation Of Labor,
told the subcommittee OF the Congress
Committee on immigration to-day, what he
knew about imported contract laborers and
suggested means for keeping them out. He
believed in the immigration of good, intelli-
gent, voluntary immigrants who are not
under contract to work for American en-
ployers. He regarded the members of the
Strauss Orchestra as contract musicians, in
stead of ARTISTS" and he believed they
would be formidable competitors of our
musicians. He was inclined to think that
the men appointed to enforce the contract
labor law, through lack of sympathy with
Its object, were not Jealous In doing their
duty. The formal inquiry made by the
registry clerks at Castle Garden would
never result in finding out and keeping out
contract laborers. A few members of the
secret service, under the directions
officials in sympathy with the law, might
mingle with the immigrants.
The investigators went over to Castle
Garden to hear the State Emigration Com
missioners pass judgment on a score of de-
tained emigrants. The most notable case
was that of Mrs. Rachel Oznowitz Rus
sian, who had come over with the children
to Join her husband Simon, tailor. Mr..
Ste henson said that Mrs. Ozuowitz seemed
to have two husbands. She was led in
weeping before the Congressman to answer
the accusation. The interpreter asked her ii
she had two husbands. She elapsed her
hands and answered.: "God Iorbid." Com
missioner Stephenson then produced the
afidavits of two different men both calling
themselves Simon Oznowitz, and each de-
claring that he was the husband. 1t ap-
peared, though, on inquiry. that Simon had
been too busy to come down and get his wife
and had sent down one of his employees to
represent him. The workman cheerfuIly
swore that he was Oznowitz, kissed Mrs.
Oznowitz and took the baby in his arms.
The real Oznowitz came in while the Con-
gressmen were there, kissed his wife and
children, and was allowed to take them
away.

way to the school grounds and the portion
of the building devoted to the private
use of Prof. Moss and family, where
the distinguished guest was entertained,
In company with several others The even
ing was spent in visiting the various recita-
tlon rooms which were in readiness for the
inspection of visitors TO the celebration.
Each room being, in its display of students
work, typical of the branch of instruction
given within its walls
The room in which geography was taught
was very interesting indeed. On its walls
were maps, drawn with colored crayons, of
all the countries of the world filled in with
rivers and cities, and also pretty maps of
the various countries, showing the physical
features.
MORE SPECIMEN WORK.
The blackboards OF the rooms in which
mathematics are expounded were filled
with work illustrative of that particular
branch, while in the halls and scattered
through all OF the rooms was to be found
specimen work of the drawing classes in all
stages of advancement. The assembly
rooms for both the normal school pupils

A SET OF CHESSMEN.


Perhaps! Yet toys which made a trag-
edy. Have you ever heard of the name
Funichon?' By slight movement of his
grisly gray eyebrows he intimated that it
was possible he had. These chessmen be-
long to him. He had just finished game
with them when they found him dead-the
winning piece, white rock, was in his
his hand. Suggest an epitaph to be placed
over his grave. There's a picture for q
painter-eh?
Bah! He was Communist
That was all st. Servan said. And so
saying, st. Servan turned away to look out
of the window at the HaVre boat again
There was an end to NJ. Funichon for him.
Not that he meant exactly what he said.
He simply meant that NJ. Funichon was
not Legitimist-out OF sympathy with the
gentlemen who met, and decayed, visibly,
before the naked eye, at the club on the
other side OF the place. With st. SerVan
not to be Legitimist meant to be nothing at
all-out of his range OF VISION aosoIutely;
Seeing that was 50, it is strange ne should
have borne with me as he did. But ne was
a wonderful old man.

We played our first game with the ivory
chessmen when st. Servan returned from
the club. 1 am free to confess that it was an
occasion for me. had busted all the pieces,
and had the board all laid when st. SerVan
entered, and when we drew for choice OF
moves the dominant feeling in my mind was
the thought of the dead man sitting
ali alone. with the white rock in
his hand. There was an odor of sanctity
about the affair for me-a whig Of air from
the land of the ghosts.
Nevertheless, my loins were firded up,
and was prepared to bear myself as man
in the strife. We were euriously matched,
st. Servan and 1. We had played 20
games, and, putting draws aside, each
had scored the same number of wins. he
had his DAYS and so had L. At one time
was IL games ahead, but since that thrice

School of that city. At the close of one years
work he resigned the position to accept the
principalship of the preparatory department
of Dickinson Seminary. Williamsport, Pa.
He entered Syracuse University in 1877,
and graduated with the degree Of A. b. in
1880. He was elected vice principal of the
California Normal School in 1880, and
principal in 1888. He was granted a six
months leave of absence last year to
study the educational work abroad, espee-
cially in Germany. The result of his
critical inspection of normal schools as
we'll as public schools, has been given in
part in letters to the leading educational
journals, and the school under his control
has been much improved by his increased
knowledge.
DR.. Moss closed the morning session with
neat little speech, in which he accorded
the guests the privilege of the buildings and
grounds and welcomed them cordially.
A FEAST OF SOLIDS.
AT the close of the mornings session the
entire assemblage repaired to the spacious
dining room, where twelve long tables, radi-
ant in snowy napery. magnificent bouquets
of choice flowers and graceful baskets of all
kinds OF fruits, were ladened with every

thing that would satisfy hungry person
and tempt feeble appetite. The dinner
enjoyed, the remainder of the intermission
was spent by some in social converse, some
in strolling through the attractive recitation
rooms and the beauti ul grounds that sur
round the normal buildings and number
interested in Sloyd teachings, visited the
little school room of which Miss Esselius,
the Swedish lady, is the presiding genius,
and who instructed class for their benefit.
THE AFTERNOON EXERCISES.
The afternoon session, reinforced by a
great many visitors who arrived on the
noon train, was opened by an anthem, Hon.
BilIingsIey presiding as'chairman. Prof G.
G. Hertzog, who has.been, identified with the
normal school from its infancy, first as
student and since as professor, read an
appropriate historical sketch of the school.
Prof. Ellis N. johnson, the first principal
of the original academy from which the
Normal School was organized though suffer-
ing from severe cold, managed to make
very pleasing address. DR.. E. A. Wood,
Prof Ehrenield. DIR. McCord, Colonel Pass
more, Hon. Henry Houck and Colonel
Chill W. Hazard also made short addresses
while Mr.. McCollin interspersed music and
recitations in the programme.
After similar intermission to that at
noon, including the same delightful repast,
which reflected great credit upon the
matron, the evening session was called, and
consisted of addresses by Prot. Gilchrist,
Prof johnson, Superintendent G.. J.
Luckey. Hon. j. B. Finley, Prof. c. L.

not Remember Important Facts.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE taking of testi
monv by Lawyer f. NJ. Charlton to show
why his motion for the appointment of re-
ceiver for the Chicago Gas Trust Company
should be granted because of the latter's ex-
istence being contrary to law, was resumed
this ternoon before Commissioner Windes.
Secretary Wells stated that he desired to
make a correction in his testimony given
yesterday, and said that the Gas Trust
didn't own the stock of the gas companies
at the time of the March meeting, the stock
having been transferred to the Fidelity
Company, Of Philadelphia, in 1887, and that
the paper which he carried to Philadelphia
at the conclusion OF the March meeting
wasn't deed of transfer, but simply re-
lated the terms OF the transfer.
Mr.. c. X. G. Billings, President of the
trust, was the next witness, but nothing OF
interest was brought out in his testimony,
as he was unable to remember anything
about the matter, which Mr.. Charlton was
particularly desirous of having explained.
