How best to remedy this apparent defect in H.

we'll demand the sober consideration of the ednoo
tors of the day. Not only are the years Of schoO,
life, the years devoted to the acquiring of what i
considered good education, thought to be moro
in number than is necessary, but the amount Of
time thus spent is not productive of good results.
The writer says pertinently:
elbow shall our teachers and pupils keen sten
with the progress of the age? How shall our YOUNG
men and women who are fitting themselves for the
struggle of humanity know just what the world is
and what are its present demands when they stem
forth from the coister of school and university
upon the arena of life? 1t is simply by combining
to the textbook only that knowledge which mry
reasonably be considered of lasting Importance.
and supplementing it with the study of current
topics of permanent interest and value, as found
in our best newspapers and periodicals."
Some of the topics mentioned as being of great
Importance are given as follows: Temperance, for
eign affairs sociology, business, science, art, liter
allure, and many others equally as interesting.
Reasons why these should be discussed are given
briefly, and we clip the following remarks

such, must depend upon the intelligence of its

IT REALLY does begin to appear that the lnaVe
sense of justice belonging to the human mlnd IS
working its way to the surface and there is every
evidence that the idea of equal rights for women
is slowly but surely gaining ground Among far
sighted observers, even the opposition are forced
to acknowledge that the day is coming when women
shall be enfranchsed citizens of the Republic.
Review the past and note the changes OF the last
quarter of century. Twenty-Five years ago
there was scarcely spot upon the globe where
women were allowed to vote. To-day they enjoy
school suffrage in seventeen States municipal suf
frage in Kansas, full suffrage in Wyoming, while
last, but not least of the victories gained for the
cause is the late action of the Constitutional Con-
vention of Mississippi which bids fair to enfran-
chise forty thousand of the intelligent women of
that commonwealth. There is reason to believe
that Mississippi will run South Dakota hard race
for the honor of being No. 2 on the list of States
having truly republican form of government
the second State in which it has been determined
that women are people. Since Webster defines
Republic as "a State in which the sovereign power
is exercised by representatives elected by the peo-
ple,' either the United States is not Republic, or
women are not people-and if not people, what
are they?

Robert Bonner, owner of the great trotting mare Sunol. writes as follows to the press: Twill you permit me to contradict the statement that is going the rounds of the papers that have of fered to mach Suuol against Belle Ham4 lin for $l9,000 si.te. l have never made any offer of u kind. Mir. Hitch cock, representing the suprrin tendent of the Palo Alto stock farm, where Sunol was raised, made such an offer, but I knew no more about it. until after he of- fered it, than the man in the moon, When made Senator Stamford an offer for Sunol last fall he accepted it on con- dition that I should let her remain with him for one year, to give Mir. Marvin, his trainer, an opportunity to lower her record. So that he owns Sunors 'rac- ing qualities for this year, and sl.e is being campaigned with his own horses, just as if he still owned her. One paper states that will make at least S5,00O by Sunols exhibitions. It Is enough flor me to say, in reply to that state ment, that will not make one cent by them.

..An Irish Arnb.n

tsAn Irish Arnb.''
 s'Ah Irish Arab" was presented at the opera house last night, before good- sized audience, by William A. Brady's company, introducing the great Irish comedian, Bobby Gaylor, the funniest piping voice and his brogue is natural. 'An Irish Arab" is good play and novelty. It has distinct plot and is well-toned and picturesque in coloring. One of the great features is the aero battle act of the three La Maritime brothers, who do some marvellous work. As the company have an open date to- night it was decided to reproduce the play, and a full house will be looked for. The company opens in the Grand opera house, New York city, Monday.

 At the Casino
 There was large attendance at the casino matinee to-day. Tonight a pro- gramme rich in variety will be pro- duced, and all for fifteen cents. 'sThe Black Thorn,
 The strong plot of the ''Black Thorn" is well-known. It is play with moral. full of pathos, showing the bad and good side of human nature. The machinationso of bad man who scruples at nothing to fulfill his wicked plans. the injured wife,. the despair of the broken hearted husband, the dlre dis. tress and suffering of noble woman, forms an intensely interesting play, which is interspersed with the inimitable comedy of Denny Dolan, with songs, dance, new music and scenery. The play will be produced at the opera house Monday evening.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN.
Narrow Escape of an Express Train
 Near Albany To-day.

NATION Escape or an Express Train
 Near Albany To-day.
 ALBANY, August 30.-A dastardly at- tempt to wreck a train was made at Karners, about miles from here, at 3 o'clock this morning. As the Chicago express was nearing the spot at a speed of 40 miles an hour the engineer saw a number of men wildly waving their arms in front of the train. He applied the air brakes and stopped the engine less than twenty feet from a pile of rail road ties and Iron that had been heaped upon the track. The watcbman said that five minutes before the train was due he tried to leave his shanty and found that he had been locked in. He shouted for help and a number of Pin kerton men who had been stationed near came to his assistance. His lantern was gone and the track was found ob- structed. By a great effort they saved the train from being wrecked with frightful results. Suspicion rests upon the strikers.

Here is another test for drinking water. The purity of drinking water may be tested by a teaspoonful of pure loaf sugar in a clear glass-stoppered bottle. Close the bottle, dissolve the sugar in the water to be tested and place it m sunny window for two days. If the water then has a milky or cloudy appearance it may be considered impure.

Last Sunday was the third coldest morning in August since 1855. And yet a man who has kept a record says that this has been the hottest summer ex- perienced in these parts in ten years. While it has been oppressive upon peo- hood, it was just that delighted the hearts of the keepers of summer hotels, and they are all praying that the end m ay not be yet.

Half of the audience at the opera house were upon their feet and many left the house at the end of the third act of "An Irish Arab" last night, believing that the show ended with the grand tableau. 4 stampede was only pre- vented by the appearance before the curtain of the actors who took part in the scene. To avoid such mistakes in the future it might be we'll to provide programmes.

DAY IN THE SENATE.
The Wyoming Admission
Bill Taken UP,
Mr.. VEST SPEAKS ADVERSELY Y
The Woman's Suffrage Clause in
the Constitution Not to
His Mind.

WAsHIsGroS, June 25 In the senate
to-day the senate bill to prevent the
transportation In bond of merchandise
between the Umted States and Mexico
and TO restore that right whenever the
Zona I ibra is abolished was reported ad-
versely.
The senate then went into executive
session.
The doors were reopened and the
senate took up the house bill for the adj
mission of Wyoming as a state.
The bill WIS temporarily laid aside,
and Mr.. Ingalls, offered a resolution in.
structing the committee OH privileges
and elections to inquire into the publica-
tion OF the record of II personal eSplann-
tion by Mr.. Call, and to report whether
It was In accordance with the rules, etc
This led TO a short spst, In the course Of
which MIR, Ingalls, charged MI Call with
having deliberately hlslhed the
record"
lie was called 70 order, and modified
this, making it, Changed the record.
The resolution went over witfo 1t ac-
tion, and the senate proceeded with the
Wyoming admission bill
Mr.. Vest opposed the hill. lie knew
that the past states had been admitted
with small populations, because vi some
sectioaal party exigencies, but none
such existed now. Wyoming, he said,
had q population Of not over 5000. scat.
tered over an immense area-gi, 90
suunre miles. Mr.. Vest wuuld
not vote for the admission
OF Wyoming, with its present con,utu
tion permitting womnns suffrage
Woman's 5 suffrage was antagonistic to
the spirit and institutions of the Ameri-
can people. He deplored the extension
of the suffrage TO the cOlured men In the
South, and said that no intelligent man
would give IT 10 them. He, himself
would no more give them the right Of
suffrage than he would give a deadly
weapon to child.
He would not give IL to COlorcd
women, who arc far more impulsiyc and
thoughtless then the men. Another OBJ
lection Mr.. Vest made to the consttu-
lion OF Wyoming was that u gave tine
right of holding property to alions.
Mr., Patt said chat wyoming had as
good q right to admission MS any terri
Tory ever admitted. He was surprised
that the gentlemen were so devoted to
home rule" that they should not bo
willing TO allow the territory to decide
the woman suffrage question for itself.
lie believed that the population of Wyo-
nina was nearer l25, 600 than 100 900 In
conclusion MIR. Piatt spoke OF the great
resources OF Wyoming, and saiu that
with irrigation 1t could support 1000,
OOJ people.
Al the close Of Mr.. Platt's remarks ho
made an effort TO have vote taken on
the bill, but MIR. Vest objected, and
moved ali amend ment, and the senate
adjourned.

A RICH Find.
Discovery of q Long Lost Gold Lodge
Near North Yakima.

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash. June 25.--
There Is great excitement hero to-day
about find OF silver bearing rock. The
old timers, especially, who remember
tho rock brought to Fort simcoc in 1855
by an old Indian named Zookezi, arc full
of the affair. During that summer
Mariine Thorpe and g. A. Splean put in
their entire time looking for the rock,
and one Walker wont 10 San Francisco
with the rock specimen brought in by
tho old Indian, and found 1t to
be very rich. Since then there have
been many searching parties sent
out for that ledge, and probably nobody
has been more persistent in the hunt
tnan Captain J. I. Simmons, Of this
place, To-day he returned with flour
sack full of specimens, and with some
pard mystery says he has found
the old zookezi ledge. lie says IL is no
wonder that the rock has never before
been found, as tho place is so inaccessi-
BILE that even his shepherd dog could not
follow him to 1t. 1t is the talk OF the
town. The rock is In the First National
bank and was to-day an object of won-
der to several experts. Two experts say
II will yield 500 ton.
