BY WORD OF COMMAND.


The third point in which the Swedish sys-
tenn differs from the majority of others is in
the method of applyin the exercises. The
movements are applied to the words of
command, this being the only method en-
abling the pupil to concentrate his mind on
one thing at the time, that thing being his
own motion. This is in accordance with the
definition of gymnastic movement, which
tells us that, unless 4 movement is done
with full volition, it ceases to be gymnas-
tic. In those methods which use imitation,
memorizing, etc., the movements become
mechanical, the pupil dividing his atten-
ton between himself and something outside
him, j. e. they cease to be gymnastic.
Objections have been raised to using
words of command. because "it is so tire
some, "too soldier-like," etc. To this the
answer is given, that to get the full benefit
out of exercise we should put our whole
mind into it, this being much less tiresome
than to exercise while we think of some
thing else. On the other hand we have the
theory of small minority of antagonists,
that gymnastics, without music, do not give
enough recreation, especially TO children,
because there is not enough exhilaration in
snch exercises. In regard to this objection,
we claim that discipline is necessary, not
only tor soldier, but for everybody, if we
are to have any control whatsoever over our
selves. Words of command also teach the
pupil to think quickly. The Swedish
method disapproves utterly of music for the
very simple reason that but few gymnastic
movements are rythmical.

THE CLOSING MovEMEN,


11-Respiratory exercises. These consist of
deep inhalation and exhalation accompanied
by some arm movement that will expand
and contract the chest in even rythm with
the respiratory act. These movements,
which can be conveniently combined with
some movements of the legs or trunk, have
the effect of restoring Tree respiration (after
jumping, etc. and to lessen the heartbeat.
Respiratory exercises are brought in not
only at the end OF every lesson, but at any
time when their effects are needed. and often
also at the beginning of a lesson containing
strong exercises that require an increased
activity of the lungs.
To this daily curriculum various addi-
tions are often made, such as to bring in one
more, the shoulder blade movement, when
needed; or another heaving movement; or
an abdominal exercise; or to leave the last
one out for children, and so on-as the in
structor may decide. In addition to the
free-standing movements, each class con-
tains numberless exercises on apparatus, and
supplies sufficient number to form a pro-
gression from infancy to we'll developed man
or omanhood-through all the grades in
school, college and in after-life as we'll.

ATTITUDE ON APPARATUS.

The Swedish method does not entirely dis
approve of dumb. bells, and allied forms of
apparatus, but through years of constant
practice it leads up to them, claiming that
before increasing the weight by external
means you should make progression by
prolonging the lever of the weight already
present. So ior instance, backward-fex-
ion of the trunk with the arms extended up-
ward and the hands holding weights must
necessarily be preceded by the same move
ment without the weights, and that by
fexion OF some kind with the arms fixed be-
hind the neck, and still earlier with the
hands on the hips, etc.
After years Of practical investigation il
was found that if. in every lesson, the e1er-
cises followed eacn other in certain, CON-
paratively unchanged order, the movements
could be made stronger: they could be given
more duration; i'll results could be COM
pletely prevented; and hence the good eff.
fects become al the more pronounced. For
that reason all movements were divided into
Glasses as follows:

The building Trades strike.

Nothing new has turned up in the build
ing trades strike. The Builders Exchange
folks have notified the carpenters that If
they would send the Exchange communi-
cation after the same manner as the brick
LAYERS and Stonemasons they would APP
point a committee to meet them. 1t seems
the Exchanges not pleased with what they
term the sighting manner in which the
carpenters addressed the body in their last
communication asking for a conference
committee.
The differences have been settled be
tween the committees of the Exchange and
the bricklavers and siORemasons. except
the objection of the latter 10 going to work
with nOn-union men. Ii a conference is
held between the Exchange and carpenters,
the bricklayers and stOnemasons are ready

said Yesterday that all the contractors in
the Exchange have all the workmen they
need and are working right along.

ent The questions as 10 mortgages We're
answered in some cases. and in others the

ious about the listing Of dogs, etc.

OUT FORTY DOLLARS
THE EXPERIENCES OF A PITTSBURG NAN,
SUNDAY NIGHT
He Lses His Money and Swears Out Warrant for
Bob MeElrOy, Who Leaves Town
Other Criminal News.

Yesterday Joseph Neiland, Pittsburg
chimney blower, went before Justice
Ankle, and swore out warrant for the ar
rest of Robert McElroy, who has acquired
u good deal of notoriety lately through his
indictment by the last grand jury, his trial
and acauittal on the charge of keeping a
house of ill-fame, his subsequent arrest for
perjury, and also for keeping house of the
nature first alleged. Mr. Neiland alleged
in his complaint that he had been robbed of
forty dollars, in the McElroy house, Sun
dav evening. under the following circum-
stances:
He came to the city, with an excursion,
from Pittsburg. and in the evening he went
into the McElroy house, not knowing its
character, and being in search of cheap
lodging house He was shown 10 a room
by McElrOy himself, who left him, but who
came back in a short time and told him he
could have a girl if he wanted one" One
Lottie Anderson, one Of the female inmates
of the place. accordingly went TO Neiland' 5
room, and after she had entered, McElroy
appeared and suggested To Neiland that II
he had any valuables he had better turn
them over, as he might be robbed OF them.
Neland had forty-five dollars in his pocket,
and handed two twenty-dOllars bills 10 Nc
Elroy. who promised TO turn them over in
the morning. Instead of doing this, Neil
roy left the city at an early hour, taking
with him the forty dollars, and in addition
numerous articles of value belonging 10 his
wife
Yesterday, after Neiland had sworn out
the warrant, Mrs. McElrOy called at the
Court House, and among other things said
her husband had threatened TO kill her be-
fore he left the city, and had drawn re
vOlver and presented il ut her, but she had
knocked the weapon out of his hand. She
said he had a violent quarrel with her. and
that before leaving he had taken all the
money he could get hold of, even going TO
the extreme of gathering up lot of Old
coins lying about the house. In detailing
her story, Mrs. McElroy made clean
breast as 10 the sort of house had been
run on Water street under the guiSe of a
hotel. She said she had often demonstrated
with her husband. but that he had threat
ened her life, and generally made things
hot for her. She said she was going to sell
out the house and leave, and was convinced,
as are the authorities. that McElroy Will
never return here.
He is now under bond in 500 to answer
charge of perjury before the grand jury,
and is also under 500 bond to answer for
keeping house Of ill-fame. Both these
bonds will be forfeited if he does not return,
and if he does, he will be confronted with
new charge, which. if proved, means aterm
i'm the penitentiary.
