EprroR NoRrHERNER:

Last Friday forenoon spent visiting
your school aud passed my time in the
room of Miss Dora Smith. There i
found about forty-eight restless boys
and girls all as quiet, gentlemanly, and
obedient as one could desire, while
Miss Smith moved among them in her
quiet way, yet holding the rein with a
firm hand. On my departure she said
10 me, "You are the first visitor we have
had this year" l could but call to mind
song which used To be sung in the
days of "Auld Lang Syne," one verse
of which runs thus:
"They visit the circus,
They visit their neighbors,
They visit their hocks and the servant who
labors,
Now why don't they visit the school7"
/ am sure that every parent has duty
in this direction and could not help be-
ing interested i'm the work of both
teacher and pupil, should he occasion
ally give the school half day OF his
time. L.

THE RIGHT WAY OUT.

The long-looked-for reports-majority
and minority-of the house committee on
the canvass of votes for the State officers
were made yesterday. The majority find
that the election of everybody but Nicho-
las Staub, the Democratic candidate for
comptroller, is in doubt. And in view of
the fact that the senate has not declared
its willingness to enter into thorough in
vestigation of the election returns they do
not feel warranted in going further until
the senate says what it will do. They do
not doubt that a joint committee of both
branches of the general assembly can
properly make such an investigation, and
they are of the opinion that the house
ought not to refuse to enter into any in
vestigation of the election to the most
thorough extent which may be desired by
the senate.
The minority pay no attention to the
doubtful features of the returns and the
voting, but say that the Democratic candi-
dates are elected, and that everything
should be left as the moderators left it
1t will not take the sensible and right
minded people of the State long to decide
between these reports. 1t has been shown
that the election is fairly in doubt. The
majority Of the committee report in favor
of the fullest investigation that can bt
had. The minority says no, we do no
want any investigation, and we want oul
candidates declared elected without any
regard to the defects of the voting and o.
| the returns.
The majority report puts the Democrats
| in a bad place If their candidates wer,
fairly elected what objection is their, con
sidering the doubt that is prevalent, to 1
fair and full investigation. There is nom
that will stand. Let us have an investiga
ton that will satisfy everybody.

A GERMAN IDEA

They do some things very well in Ger
many. For instance, it appears that the
Germans have made very satisfactory
solution of the tramp problem. Tramps
were formerly as thick in Germanyas they
are in this country. Since 1882, however,
the situation has been gradually changing,
until now such being as tramp is one of
the great rarities of the empire. In 1882
there was established at place called Will
helmsburg labor colony. And 80 sue
cessful was it that others in different parts
of the country were established and have
proved blessings to everybody except the
viciously INDECENT. For them the jails are
good enough. At these labor colonies, to
which all candidates or inmates of tramp
dom are sent, the bene6ciaries are COM
PEELED to work. For working they are
paid small sum, none of which, however,
they receive until the cost of their
meals and lodging has been
covered. The food is plain, natu-
rally, but it is good and in plenty. And
the lodging is clean. The amount OF
money received by the benefciaries after
the deduction is made is, of course, not
large. But it is enough to encourage the
great majority of them to work, and when
they see that they are able to lay some
thing aside the ambition to become self
supporting creatures of the world-an am
bition that may have long been shoulder
ing, is famed again into flame and the
reformation is begun. But this is not all.
The authorities of the colony are constant
ly in receipt of applications for help, and
the most worthy of the benefciaries are
selected. The system is working admir-
ably, and, what is more to the point, is
nearly self-supporting. Since 1882 nearly
$4,000 persons have been assisted, and the
viciously INDECENT does not average psi
cent.
This treatment of very vexatious mat
ter is as sensible as it is efficacious. 1t is
surprising that it has not been more ex-
tensively initiated in other countries.

A MAID SERVANT OF NERVE.
She Knocked Down Burglar,
Stamped on Him and Tossed Him
Out of a Window.


Out of a Window.
from the Courier-Journal.l
A bold robbery was prevented yesterday
afternoon at the residence of Mr.. Otto H.
Hinzen by the bravery of a servant girl.
When the burglar presented to her the al
tentative of disclosing the hiding place of
what money was in the house or instant
death, the plucky girl knocked him to the
floor, stamped his head with the heels of
her shoes, and, picking him up, threw him
out of window.
Mr.. Hinzen lives at 514 St. Catherine
street. Employed in the house as q ser
| want is Mary Hern, a young German.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Hinzen and her
little daughter were calling, leaving the
house in charge of the girl, and when eve
| ry one else had gone she set about ironing.
About three o'clock the young woman had
| occasion to go out into the yard, and upon
re-entering the kitchen the door was locked
behind her. Time passed rapidly while
performing her duties, and she was in the
midst of a song when the footsteps OF
some one coming down the back stairs at
| tracted her attention. Hardly had she
| turned to discover what was going on be.
fore a handsomely dressed stranger stepped
into the kitchen from the front part of the
house, threw two large bundles upon the
floor and seized her with both hands by
the throat. She did not scream, and be-
| fore she could utter word the man said
tsTell me where your mistress money is ol
| I'll choke you to death" The now thor
oughly alarmed girl replied that there wai
none in the house; that if there was b,

eagement She not only lost her case but
had to listen to wholesome lecture from
the court.
We believe that no attempt has been
heretofore made to ascertain accurately
the quantity of distilled spirits consumed
in the arts, manufactures and medicine,
but this year the census bureau has under
taken the inquiry and claims to have OBJ
tanned exact figures. 1t finds that the
total consumption of all forms of distilled
spirits for these purposes amounted to
1910, ,S42 proof gallons during the year
ending December 81, 1889, or about one
seventh of the total quantity of distilled
spirits consumed annually in the United
States. Connecticut consumes in arts,
manufactures and medicine, 234, $40 proof
gallons of distilled spirits; 1901 of
which is alcohol, 42,4S7 whisky, 17,51s
gin, 12,147 rum, 9,644 cologne spirit; 1851
brandy, and 1929 high wines.
Facts concerning the production of the
precious metals are just now of special in
terest. The latest circular of the standard
authority on this subject shows for the
States and territories west of the Missouri
river and British Columbia a total metallic
yield during 1890 of s127, ,166, 900. OF this
gross value about $32, ,0O0,O 900 was gold,
$63, 900, 900 silver, 100000, 900 copper and
$11 100000 lead. During the year the
production of gold and silver in Mexico
was $42, 600, 900, of which $24, 300, 900 was
coined into silver dollars and about
$3.50, 900 into gold coin. The American
production of the year was the largest in
our history, the development of our min
ing industries having advanced the produc-
ton by almost unbroken annual stages
since 1870, when the value of the metallic
yield west of the Missouri was only S52,-
000, 900.
Referring to the attack on Archbishop
Corrigan which recently appeared in g
paper published in Rome, the Catholic Re
view of New York city says: ''The great
majority of the Catholics of the city are
Tammany sympathizers, and all the Cath
olics of the diocese are democrats. The
exceptions are hardly numerous enough tc
prove the rule. No fact could be NOR,
agreeable to the average New York Catho
lie than the knowledge that Archbishop
Corrigan was a Tammany man and poll
tician on the Democratic side. Yet so fal
is he from mingling in any kind of polite:
that it seems to us he carries the policy Of
abstention too far He will have nothing
whatever to do with politics, and when tht
interests of the church are attacked pre-
fers to go straight to the courts or the leg
islature rather than to the politicians in
defending his rights"
