THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.
The Attorney General of Washington State
Declares That 1t Is Illegal

The Attorney General of Washington State
Declares That 1t Is Illegal
TACOMA, Sept. 2O.-[Special. ]-Attorney
General Jones has just completed, for the
purpose of mailing to the State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, an ex-
haustive opinion on the constitutional
ity of Bible-read1ng in the public
schools. The opinion was called out by q
note of inquiry from the State Superintend-
ent. Attorney General Jones finds that the
Bible cannot be read in the public schools
without violating certain provisions of the
State Constitution, and says that from an ex-
animation of the provisions on the
subject of religion found in the United
States Constitution and in the Constitution
of several States, the people of this country
declare against the union of religion with
government and that the first Congress de-
clared that Congress should make no law
respecting the establishment of religion or
prohibiting free exercise thereof.
He quotes Justice Lyon, who declares
that the reading of the Bible in the schools
is sectarian instruction and that pupils of
ordinary intelligence are instructed
thereby in sectarian doctrines. In con-
clusion, after reference to numerous au-
thorities, he says that Bible reading is
strictly a religious exercise within the
meaning of the section providing that no
public money or property shall be appro-
priated for religious worship or instruction.

NERVOUS EXTRAvAGANCE.
Many People Waste Energy That They
Need on Great Occasions.

Many People Waste Energy That They
Need on Great Occasions.
| Do you know what an immense amount of
nervous energy people waste continually,
which might be stored up? A very nervous
person is apt to have little tricks of manner
which she fancies are help to her and
cover her confusion, whereas they are
really an injury and loss. A habit of
wriggling in your chair, of twirling some
thing in your fingers as you talk, of biting
your lips or tapping on the floor with your
foot or hundred other things, it would be
decided gain to restrain.
Very few people realize how rare thing
1t is to keep perfectly still or to do things
composedly, without wasting any effort. An
oculist who was examining patients eyes
placed chair and told here to be seated.
Then Immediately he asked her to get up
again. "Do you know that there isn't one
person in a hundred who doesn't do that?"
he asked. do wnat?" she said, thoroughly
mystified. "Move the chair when sitting
down. You moved it several inches and I
wanted you in exactly that light"
Probably You never noticed this, yet OBJ
servatlon confirms it. Now, why should
anybody, having put her chair where she
THINKS she wants 1t, move it in the act OF
sitting down? 1t is from a habit of irresolu-
t1on and nervousness, failure to do just
what she meant toto make her intention
go straight to the mark. Probably it is
quite unconscious with most people.
In learning to write or to draw you learn
to steady your hand and draw lines which
shall show no deviation or raggedness, but
be always correct and firm. 1t is worth
while to try to do everything in the same
way, with no raggedness, no rambling off.
But, as every nervous person knows, it
seems almost impossible. You feel that if
Won are debarred from 'letting off steam"
you must go crazy, or jump up or down, or
scream, or do something to horrify or shock
people.
Well, but try it. Keep perfectly still.
Don't twiddle your fingers, or shake your
foot, or jerk your shoulder, or giggle, or
clear your throat, or say unmeaning things
because you are afraid to be silent. Put all
he force or your will upon yourself to keep
from these things, no matter how it hurts
(and it will hurt). Keep it up minute after
minute. You will be surprised to find how
long you can do it.
Then when you cannot stand it any longer,
make your escape and do some of the violent
things You have in mind. You will find that
you might have hysteria twice a week or
break window occasionally without using
up half the nervous force (Which is to some
degree vital force) that would leak out in
these little unsuspected ways.

GUATEMALA WANTS WAR.
SALVADOR EXPECTS TROUBLE AND Is
PREPARING FOR IT.

General Barillas Is NIassing Troops and
War Materials on the Guatemalan From.
tier-Telegraphic Communication With
Salvador Cut Off
SAN SALVADOR, VIA GALVESTON, Sept.
20.-For the past few days vague rumors
have been afoat regarding impending
trouble between Guatemala and Salvador.
These reports owe their origin to the fact
that the Guatemalan Government had been
the probable intention of arming them and
then putting them into Salvador's territory
to start a revolution.
The dismissal of General 'Amayas from
the War Department, taken in connection
with the expulsion of General Plazas from
the country, have confirmed these reports
These facts, moreover, are quickly followed
by the rumor from the Guatemalan frontier
that General Barillas is amassing troops and
war materials. .....
Salvador has naturally been on the alert
for such disturbing demonstrations. The
reason for the hostile movement is not
clearly understood here, because there has
not been the slightest cause for it given by
General Ezeta's administration
There is not the slightest intention on the
part of General Ezeta nor of his brother to
interfere in the affairs of Honduras. Both
desire peace. The whole country longs for
it. Salvador hates war, but will fight if
she is obliged to do so by the ambition of
Guatemala chiefs.
AS Honduras is ready to obey the orders
OF Barlllas, Salvador has deemed it best to
closely observe what was taking place on
its borders and to cover the frontiers of
both Guatemala and Honduras so as to be
no matter on which side the ex-
pected war might break out. 1t is believed
however, that Guatemala will be the coun-
try to start the trouble.
One strong proof of Guatemala's secret
at the frontier is the fact that
her Government has wilfully stopped all
telegraphic communications with San Sal
vador Following Guatemala's example
under the pretext of its elections,
actually stopped all communications

FRESH TROUBLE IN CENTRAL AMERICA
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH

TsPEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPArcH.1
NEW YORK, Sept 21.-The Herald this
morning has the following cable from Chile:
The suicide of Balmaceda yesterday morn
ing in his bedroom at the Argen-
tine legation in Santiago is
the one absorbing and exciting
topic of conversation in every part of this
city. There is a mingled feeling of savage
rejoicing at his death and of bitter regret
that he should have killed himself instead
OF falling into the clutches of the Congress
sionalists
The infurated citizens would have de-
lighted to rend him limb from limb for the
long list of cruelties for which they hold
him responsible. 1t is impossible
for any one not in this country, or not ma
tive, to realize the intensity of the hatred
that was entertained toward the ex-Presi-
dent
The stormy life thus brought to an end
began in Santiago 81 years ago. Jose Man
uel Balmaceda was the dead usurper's full
name. He came of an ancient family, rich,
we'll known, and of high standing in
Chilean affairs. 1t was the intention of his
parents that he should become priest,

A Pointer TO FicIders

The following good advice to outfielders is
given by Henry Chadwick in Sporting Times:
~ point OF play occurred in the Chicago
Brooklyn game last week which is worthy
OF note. Anson hit hot line ball over sec
ond base which yielded a clean earned sin
gle base, but it was a hit which no outfielder
should attempt to try for a catch from
Griffin however, ran in for tie impossible
eaten. instead OF making sure of fielding
the ball for the one base earned and the
result was that the bali bounded through
him and Anson got home before the ball
could be recovered, and he was erroneousfy
credit cd with u home run hit 1t was sim
ply a beautiful low liner for a single, and
such balls are not within possible reach of
n catch in one case out of fifty. The point
is Tor the outficlder to make sure of stop

Wichita Eagle.I
The other day it was raining hard when
Mrs Lease boarded street car The car
was chock full, and all the men on the seats
sat closer back and evinced determination
to keep a position of sedentary comfort,
Mrs Lease cast her eye down the car, and
at the same time stupid man in the corner
started to rise.
Don't, " said the man next to him, grasp
ing his arm. That's Mrs. Lease. Don't
you know her? She believes in equality of
the sexes. Woman suffrage, you know
The stupid man smiled and got up.
Come" said the speaker, still more i'm
Fortunate, you're not going to get up, are
you? If she thinks she's equal to man let
her stand. Give her dose of her own
medicine. See, eh?"
But Mrs. Lease had taken the mans seat,
greatly to the discontinue of the other,
who wanted to see her stand. Next day he
met the stranger on the street.
"Hello," he said, ''you're the man that
gave up your seat to Mrs. Lease. You
missed a good chance to take her down a
little. There wasn't another man in the
car who would have given way Wasn't

What made you get up? Did she hypno-

1t was now seen how carefully Balmaceda

had been preparing for all this The arm,
of the National Guard had been collected in
the arsenals. The commanders were under
his influence The military posts were in
his hands. All private arms had been or
dered to be delivered to the authorities.
The people were without weapons and the
soldiers were marching toward the capitol.
The only hope the advocates of peace
could see was IN the fact that the funds of
the government were almost exhausted with
the close of the year, and it would be
necessary to convene Congress to make
further appropriations when they thought
difficulties might still be arranged. Bal
maceda cut this hope short by issuing q
decree in which he assumed the power to
collect and use the public moneys for
himself
MET ON THE SHIP.
Prominent members of Congress humbled
themselves before the President to the ex-
tent of begging that the session be called
He peremptorily refused. Then the men,
bers determined that Congress should as
semble without the Presidents permission.
Being unable to meet in safety on land they
took to ship of the navy in the harbor of
Valparaiso, where they undertook measures
OF opposition to the President.
The President in the meantime was organ
lzing his army and preparing for war. He
enlisted 5000 laborers for the public works.
He drew for his expenses on the national
treasury and when the Treasurer refused to
honor his draft he put man in Office more
compliant He removed the Judges of the
Supreme Court and supplanted them with
his tools who decided that he could use the
public funds as he chose. He forced loans
and ordered confscations. He arrested
the leaders of the opposition, thrust them
into prison and ordered them to be shot.
The members of Congress fed All per-
sons who were unwilling TO give submission
to the President followed them. With
great difficulty they organized military
force and the war began in earnest.
For the next six months it was fought
with varying success. The navy was on the
'lde of the Congressional party, the ma
ional army was in the hands of Balmaceda.
At first the efforts of one side was toward
.etting arms and soldiers for an army and
If the other toward getting navy. The
country was in state of anarchy. Business
vas suspended, and murders, assassinations
md riots were of daily occurrence. The
representatives of foreign nations offered |
heir mediation to restore peace. By a |
rick Of Balmaceda the negotiations were
roken off as it was to appear through the |
determined vindictiveness of the Congress |
onal party. Battles and skirmishes on |
and and sea followed. Gradually the |
uperior numbers of the Congressional party |
vercame the stratagems of the President.

SON RUSSELL IN IT.
An Effort to Indict Him for His Part In a
Texas Land COMPANY

ARKANSAS HARBoR, TEX, Sept 90
Especial. This city is soon to be the
center of interest in the United States be-
cause of an effort to indict Russell Harrison,
son of the President. He is at the head of
the Aransas Harbor Land Improvement
Company, which sold many hundred
thousand dollars worth of land here on the
promise that within one year they would
obtain deep water in Aransas Pass and so
make harbor rivaling any on the Gulf
coast. On Saturday, September u. about
S100, 900 in notes, given for the purchase of
these lots by local and State settlers, fell
due. In the meantime the year within
which the company promised to have deep
water i'll the Pass has about elapsed and
nothing has been DONE
AS the company has failed to keep its
promises, the purchasers of lots have re-
fused to meet their notes. They invested
here because of the distinguished names as
sociated with the project. Ex-Lieutenant
Governor Wheeler and Russell B. Harrison
stand at the head. Mr.. Wheeler says the people
must pay. A flood of suits will be brought
by Harrison and Wheeler, and probably
1000 Texans will be defendants. On the
other hand these sturdy Texans settlers
claim that they have been swindled.

SC0RCHED BY FLAMES,
A $4,000 Fire at the Southside Bottle Works
of Cunningham & Co.

Shortly before two o'clock this morning
an alarm from box 151 called the engine
companies to the corner of South Twenty
first and Jane streets, where fire had been
discovered in the bottle works of D. o.
Cunningham & Co. The fire was in the
cupola and roof, and for time it looked as
though the entire works would be burned,
A second alarm was sent in, but this was
unnecessary, as the fire was soon under con-
troll, and in less than half an hour was en-
tirely out. The fire was caused by some
sparks from the furnace, and the cupola and
roof were pretty badly damaged, entailing
a loss of $4,000. The loss is fully covered
by insurance.
