Teaching at Thirteen.

Probably the youngest school teacher
in the state is Miss Clara Greenawald,
who has been engaged as teacher in one
of the schools Of Penn township, this
county. Miss Greenawald is Just IS
years Of age. She looks older than that,
and some time g when she applied,
among a lot Of others. to be examined by
County Superintendent Zechman, she
led the class and made an average of
21s, the standard being 90. On this GER
tficate she readily obtained a school.
Since her age has been learned there
is some doubt among the directors of the
township about allowing her to continue,
and some one has raised the point that
the employment of one of her years will
deprive the district of its state ~appropri-
alton The matter has been referred to

Briefs Filed in the Case OF Boyd-Thsyer,
Of the State of Nebraska.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Boyd-Thayer
case, involving the question of title to the
Office of Governor of Nebraska, and of citi-
zenship on the part of Boyd, will come up
for argument in the United States Supreme
Court tomorrow. The question at issue is
as to whether or not James E. Boyd was
citizen of the United States at the date of
election. Briefs of counsel have
been filed. J. c. GOWN, attorney
for Boyd. in his brief maintains
that his client became citizen by virtue
of the admission OF Nebraska as a State, he
being an inhsbitant of the Territory of
Nebraska, ,and. a member of its Constitutional
Convention. He contends that the organic
act of admission by providing that the
State should be admitted ''upon an equal
footing with the original States in all re-
spccts whatsoever, together with the
authority conferred upon "the inhabitants"
of Nebraska Territory to form a State
Constitution, operated as a collective natur-
alization and admission to citizenship of all
persons in the Territory capable of acquir-
ing United States citizenship under the
general policy of the Government.
The brief in behalf of Thayer was pre-
pared by John +. Dillon, John L. Webster
and Joseph II. Blair. Broadly stated, they
base their assertion of want of citizenship
in Boyd on the ground that an alien cannot
grow into citizenship by belief or faith and
by assuming to act as citizen.

Decides a Case of Great Interest to Con-
ductors of Passenger Trains.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "A case of con-
siderable interest to railroad trainmen who
have to deal with unruly passengers was
decided in the United States Supreme
Court to-day James S. H. Jopes, a
passenger on the New Orleans and North
eastern Railway, became engaged in quar-
rel with the conductor of the train, who
shot and seriously injured him. Jopes
sued the railroad company for damages.
The testimony as to the circumstances of
the shooting was conflicting The rail-
way company asked that the jury be
instructed that if from the manner and atti-
tude of the passenger, the conductor had
reason to fear assault, and shot under the
belief that he was in imminent danger of
personal injury, the company was not re-
sponsible. The court denied this request,
and Jopes obtained judgment for $1,000.
This court, in an opinion by Justice Brewer,
holds that the court below was in error in
refusing to charge the jury,as requested, re-
verses its decision and directs that the case
be sent back to the Mississippi court which
tried it.
Attorney General William Pinkney to-
day asked leave of the United States Su-
preme Court to file bill in chancery In be-
half of the State of Maryland against the
State of West Virginia to settle dispute
over boundaries. Maryland claims that her
western boundaries is a meridian line run
ming south to the first or most distant fount
of the Potomac, and that West Virginia has
wrongfully asserted title to strip
of land several miles wide between
the south branch of the Potomac and
the present generally recognized line.

wealthy Frenchman, about whose mysterious

his friends are considerably worried at the
rather stubborn nature of his illness. He
has been sick ever since he returned to
Washington, day or two after the Cham
Der of Commerce dinner in New York,
which occurred on the 18th of November.
The Secretary caught cold on the evening
Of that dinner, or the day before, and his
ailment developed into something that has
been described as the grip. He returned at
once to Washington, and has since been
confined TO his house In New York he

General of the Marine Hospital Service,
now living in Chicago.

DIR. Hamilton returned to Washington
with Mr. Foster, and has since been in con-
slant attendance upon him. To-day he
called in another physician, and both are
filled with anxiety at the fact that the Sec
retary is not as we'll as usual.

Secretary Foster would be at his desk with

visable, it was arranged that he should 90
to Fortress Monroe 10 recuperate. He has
not been able TO do so, however. He is very
weak, and is afflicted with sort of remit
tent fever that clings to him in spite of the
efforts of the physicians to break it.
DR.. Hamilton said to-day that Mr. Fos-
ter's condition, while not serious, was less
favorable than usual.
