Mrs. whitney,s Pet Charity.

Mrs. Secretary Whitney is not all
bound up in style, dress and enter
tanning, for if you would follow her
coupe on Monday forenoon as it
rattles down Fifth avenue and wheels
around the corne at Twenty second
street you would find, much to your
surprise, nc doubt, that she alighted
at a free kindergarten school for poor
children. Mrs. Whitney pays the
salaries of several of the teachers here,
and furnishes nearly two-thirds of the
material used. She is very much in
love with the Froebel system, and is
among the foremost of those who are
trying to establish kindergarten train
ing in connection with the public
schools.
"All work done in the primary
school should tell, salt Mrs. Whitney.
"All that is taught should be taught
ia the best way. Children can be
filed with a great liking or else a
great disgust for school. The school
hour al become the embodiment of
all hat is nauseous and prosy, or it
can be made the pleasantesL and
most enjoyable part of the day. The
best methods should be used for chill
dren. Books should be ransacked to
find if they contain anything to bene-
fit children. A teacher holds the
thread of each separate child's intel
lectual life."

Italy's Formidable Navy, and Blaine's
Hollow Jingoism.

HOLLOW
The humility which Mr.. lingo
Blaine shows in presence of the buster
of the italian government, is just
what might be expected from that
snowy, shifty gentleman. 1t is the
legitimate result of the entire govern
mental policy Of the Republican party,
pursued undeviatingly since the close
of the War.
The country has been left without
a navy and without coast defences,
without guns, without material of
wrx, and with no sort of plant for the
manufacture Of such things in any
quantity. So far behind the age are
we. that two thirds of our naval officers
have mover served on a vessel of
modern structure. and if they were
suddenly placed iu charge Of n
would have to go back almost to the
A. B. C. of their profession to lear
what to do with her.
. In truth the United States is not a
little beholden to the Italian govern
ment for not sending war ships over
to demand immediate satisfaction.
Italy has twenty armored vessels.
among them three or four which are
regarded as probably the best and
most efficient vessels afloat. The
Duilio and the Vittore EInanuele are
famous the world over as models of
wha. great modern line OF battle ships
should be. If of these yes
sells We're sent to New York and
another to New Orleans they might
deliberately pass three months each
in pounding the cities 10 pieces with
shell, without our being able to
make any hostile demonstration
which they would al about against
them Against these great vessels
the best ships in our new navy would
probably be wholly inefficient.

The frequent contentious between the Hudson

comfort to those people VINO SEES the great dan
gers involved in the combination OF these great
forces, and its probable effect on legislation;
Keep IL up, gentlemen, for it Is the salvation of
the rest Of the Stats.-Trae american
We were not aware that there was
any conflict between Hudson and Es-
sex upon general legislation or upon
legislation affecting 1.-THE rest OF the
State They differ where their own
internal interests conflict and
that is all. On all other matters their
representatives are divided or united
according to their party affiliations.
Neither do we see how the safety Of
the rest of the State is involved in
their doings. Between them they
have in this Assembly twenty votes,
while the rest OF the State has forty.
In the next they will have twenty-five
to thirty-eight for the rest of the
State. In the Senate they have onl y
two votes out of twenty-one.
So pray good True American, try
not to print such nonsense. Yon will
get as bad a reputation as the State
Gazette if you keep on this way.

Most women have a notion that
Wall street is paved with gold, says
the New York World, but experience
has taught those who have investi-
gated that the paving blocks there are
the same as in other thoroughfares.
Every woman who has a little more
money than she needs for tinery has
at one time or other felt a desire to
take a flyer in stocks IL she has
carried out her desire, she has, in 500
cases out of 1000 had occasion to III
it. There are plenty of women who
have played the horses" to use the
betting term of the race track, with
some fair degree of success, but
playing" the stock market is an al
together different thing.
1t takes a pretty good head to I'M
derstand speculation in Wall street,
and not one woman in a million is
equipped to master the intricacies of
the speculative mart. The average
woman cannot understand, no matter
how many times it is explained to her,
what it mean to go 'long" or ''shortn
of stocks, TO cover" or to turn" or
to buy or to sell ION a SCALE" Now
these remarks are no reflection On the
intelligence of woman. The fact is,
no woman ought to speculate, for that
is not her field. There is a good deal
of difference between reading the
emotions Of a mewling infant and
reading the hieroglyphics on, the
paper tape which streams out of the
ticker.
There are many men who have been
in and out of Wall street half their
lives who have not been able to fathom
its mysteries or interpret all its
changes. Little wonder Is it, then,
that women have been dismal failures
as stock spectators, and great won
der is it that more men have not gone
down in the ever swirling financial
lnaelstrom. 1t takes a clear head and
a cool hand to steer through Wall
street without being wrecked. This
is the record of the past, and as his
tory repeats itself, time to come will
show no change.
Time and again brokers have tried
the experiment of inviting the custom
of ONE to their offices, but it has
always been to their sorrow. First
the women drove the men away from
their offices, and then the women be-
took themselves away-generally leav-

pleasant or a gallant thing to say.
In speaking of women men are ex-
pected to utter compliments, but in
telling the truth it is often necessary
to say things not altogether agreeable.
When women speculate they go it
blind. With them it is like putting
their money on a number. Metaphor
ically speaking. they shut their eyes
and take their chances. To succeed
in stock speculation one must ascer-
tain the tone of the market and follow
closely the trend of events. What
woman could do that? 1t is too
bothersome and perplexing. A woman
has not the patience to invest her
money aud wait for a favorable turn
of affairs. She expects to invest one
hour and reap again the next. Ii
often takes months for a deal in Wall
street to successfully eventuate. In
the mean time the quotations may
show many ups and downs. First a
gain and then a loss, but in the long
run either irreparable loss or ineradi-
cable gain.-NeDGrk Daily Advertiser.

BY the shrouded CLEAN of the western skies,
Brave keenan, looked in PleasontOn's eyes
For an instant-clear, and cool, and still;
Then, with II smile he said, Il will"
Cavalry, charged" Not a man of them shrank.
Their sharp, full cheer, from rank on rank,
Rose jOyously, with a willing breath
Then forward they sprang, and spurred and
cashed;
Shouted the officers, crimson sash'd;
Rode well the men, each brave as his fellow.
In their faded coats of the blue and yellow;
And above in the air. with an instinct true,
Like bird of war their pennon flew.
With clank of scabbards and thunder of steeds,
And blades that shine like sunlit reeds,
And strong brown faces bravely pale
For fear their proud attempt shall fail,
Three hundred Pennsylvanians close
On twice ten thousand gallant foes
Line after line the troopers came
To the edge of the wood that was ring'd with
flame;
Rode in and sabered and shetland fell
Nor one came back his wounds to tell
And full in the midst rode Keenan,, tall
In the gloom, like martyr awaiting his fall.
While the circle stroke of his saber, swung
Round his head, like halo there luminous
hung.
Line after line; ay. whole platoOns,
Struck dead in their saddles, of brave dragons,
by the naQueneu horses were onward DOTne
And into the vortex flung, trampled and torn;
AS Keenan, fought with his men side by side.
So they rode, till there were no more to ride.
But over them, lying there, shattered and mute,
What deep echo rolls2 'T'is death salute
From the cannon in place: for, heroes, you
bravcd
Your fate not in vain; the army was savedl
Over them now, year following year
Over their graves the pine cones fall,
And the whip-pOor-will chants his specter call;
But they stir not again; they raise no cheer;
They have ceased. But their glory shall never
cease,
Nor their light be quenched in the light of peace.
The rush of their charge is resounding still
That saved the army at Charlottesville.

Maj. Keenan's daring deed at Chancel-

mortal setting given it by the poet, and
the world should know how much Hooker,
who is often quoted, though falsely so, as
derding the cavalry, owed to the gallant
troopers on that disastrous battlefield. The
