Another Monument Projected.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph warm
ly seconds tho suggestion, which,
it says. comes from all sides. for the
erection in Richmond,a "a monument to
the late Hon. Jefferson Davis. 1t
says: Mr.. Davis deserves a grand
monument and Richmond is the place
for it, Let the movement for it's
erection be started at once. Contri-

there may be unveiled a monument

Sam Small Changes Again.

The Rev. Sam w. Small is a man
of many minds. Several years ago he
joined the Episcopal church and was
confirmed at st. Philips, Atlanta A
fow months later he madc-h his re
markable speech on the head of bar
rel in the streets of Atlanta, announc-
ing his conversion. He then connect
ed himself with the Methodist church
and loomed up as an evangelist, be-
ing in partnership with Sam Jones for
n year or two. When the partner
ship dissolved, Small went it alone for
n while in the evangelical work. In
1883 he darted back to Atlanta and
ran Us an independent candidate for
tho State Senate. Being defeated, he
again took up the business OF q tray
cling evangelist, subject to nobody's S
direction but his own. Several months
ago it was announced that he would
withdraw from the Methodist Church
and become an Episcopal clergyman.
He undertook some missionary work
in Boston in connection with the
Episcopal Church and pursued it
vigorously for several weeks. Then
he suddenly rcappeared in Atlanta
and proclaimed that he would be q
candidate for tho Legislature. His
f.riends have been zealously working
up his political prospects ever since
and were confident OF his election.
He left Atlanta fcw days ago and
Saturday telegram was received
from him dated Ogden, Utah. i'll
which he stated that he had been
elected president of the Utah Univcr-
sity of the Methodist Church and had
accepted the position. This indi-
Gates that MIR. Small will rcn0unce
political ambition and the Episcopal
Church, Mt least for the present. He
is a rarely gifted man and is capable
of success in almost any lmc he may
choose. What his line will be III Il
few months hence it is always i'm
possible to predict. But whatever he
may do and wherever he may go, Mr..
Small is sure to attract attention.

A System OF Manual Training Now BEING

Tho word "siOyd' has been seen ain
print more or less of latc years in
magazines as we'll as newspapers, says
the Boston transcript, and always in
connection with the vital question OF
manual training and its introduction
into the public schools. 1t is an
anglicIcd form of the Swedish sloid,
meaning dcXtcrity or manual skill

word has been restricted in its use to
denote a system OF manual training,
OF which the best known Is the SO.
called Naas system, adopted some
fifteen years ago in Sweden.
When this system was adopted at
Mas it was new only as whole. The
details had been worked out and
proved TO be beneficial by different
persons Mt different times and in differ

they been collected and made into q

The purpose Of the sloyd instruction

On the value of the various systems
there is much dissent; but all be-

The surpcrvisor TAKES Water as tn his
Objectionable Questions, Except in their
Application to tho Criminal Classes.
WAsHINGToN, June Robert u.
Porter, superintendent of the census,
has received kilograms from about
one hundred supervisors stating that
they were thoroughly prepared to ell
ter upon the work of taking the cen
sus on Monday last, and that every
thing is in readiness to push the work
forward with accuracy and rapidity.
The kilograms were in response to
a message sent out from Washington
yesterday. All the supervisors heard
from reported that no trouble had
yet occurred, and that no serious diff
culties were app e,le lded.
Porter -intimated very plainly this
evening that so far as the ''chronic
diseases" questions were concerned,
it was not tho intention of the office
to endeavor to bring to punishment
those who were reluctant to make
answers, but as to the ''mortgage'
question he held language not quite
so cheering for those who have de
termined not to answer this part of
the schedule, though the probability
is strong that nothing will be done
with recalcitrants in this matter. He
expressed himself very earnestly,
however, with regard to bringing the
law to bear upon those who willfully
refuse to answer any and al questions
put to them by the cnumcrators.
They will be compelled to answer, he
said, or to take The consequences of
their refusal. He thought there was
o possibility that members of the
criminal classes might take advan-
tage of the fight made against the
diseases and lnortago questions to
refuse any ihformation whatever to
