In testing David to find II he was really deaf
some amusing bunders wore made. Cannon
frecrackers were exploded under his window
in the hope OF trapping him into saying some

LONDON, December 1.-The storm
which set in on Wednesday night sub
sided for time like its predecessors,
which did such vast amount OF dam
age, but the diminunition in the force OF
the gale was only temporary, and In n
short time the wind began TO increase
in velocity, and Is now (G:30 p. m.)
blowing with renewed vigor.
The storm does not alone affect Eng
land. IL is raging with equal violence
in Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and the
damage which has been done will
amount 10 many thousand OF pounds.
The loses sustained by the destruction
OF telegraph and telephone and electric
light lines are very heavy. The damage
done by the preceding storm had hardly
been entirely repaired when the gale
now prevailing set in. The result IL
that poles snd wires are again down in
all directions.
Along the coasts, the small crafts,
fishing boats aud vessels engaged In the
coast wise trade, are the principal suf-
ferers. Many OF these vessels have
been unable 10 claw off shore, and have
been dashed upon the beaches, where
heavy seas have broken them mp.
A dispatch from Cork states that four
fishermen near Skibbereen were caught
in the gale.
The heavy foods have so weakened
and undermined the ancient and mas
sive walls by which the greater portion
OF the city OF Chester Is enclosed that
portions OF the old Roman structure
have subsIded.
The gale has swept over Ireland,
causing damage 10 property and flood
ing number OF rivers. The Norwe-
gian mail steamer. Fritbjof, has been
wrecked of Haugesund, Norway.
LIVERPOOL, December 1.-THE gale
has ragged violently over this section OF
the country. Much wreckage Is being
cast up along the banks at the lower
part OF the river Mersey.

PREMIER GLADSTONES ADDRESS
Before the Liberal Conference Has Caused Consider
able Comment Though Ii Was DisappOins-
ment-The B';rothal Of the Young Prince
Discussed BY the Cabinent
tCopui0ht, 1911

LONDON, December IL. - 1f the
rural conference which opened yes
terday in London represented WITH
absolute fidelity the spirit OF
the agricultural element in Great
Britain, the country would be on
the eve Of n social and political revolu-
tion. No assemblage Of supposed rep
reseutative men ever held in England
has displayed such envenomed hostiiity
TO parsons and land owners.
Delegates boasting themselves as per-
sistent parson fighters, and denouncing
Squire Tyrrany were cheered to the
echo, and their scronful alluSions 10 the
patronizing airs OF the clergy towards
rural inhabitants were keenly relished.
The conference while indicating clear
ly and actively an existent force to be
accounted within the coming elections,
owes its greatest Importance TO its fore
shadowing the future agricultural
policy.
When the spirit OF the delegates per-
meates the electorate the hereditary
privileges of landlordism and church
ism will vanish Mr.. Gladstone's speech
to-day was distinct isappointment,
many del gates expecting that definite
assurance in regard TO the liberal pro-
gramme would be declared, and would
include some OF their aspirations.
Mr., Gladstone's allnsion TO the limi-
tation OF his physical powers and his
sensibility OF the disadvantage in which
his party was placed owing to his ad-
vanced years, caused renewed emotion
among his hearers. There were many
cries OF mo, no, you will have n long
life yet" etc.
Mr.. Gladstone and his wife will start
on their trip on Tuesday morning and
will reach Paris Wednesday evening.
His medical adviser, Sir Andrew Clarke.
insists upon perfect rest. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gladstone proceed from Paris to Biar-
ritz on Wednesday.
The cabinet held a prolonged council
to-day and will not meet again until tho
new year when they will prepare for the
| opening OF parliament.
The arrangements for the marriage OF
the Duke OF Clarence and Avondale
were, It is understood, discussed In the
cabinet to-day. The Prince OF Wales
will himself publicly announce the day
when the marriage has been definitely
| fixed.
Mr.. Gladstone and wife called at Marl-
horou0h house to-day TO extend their
coDgl tulations on the betrothal.

THE ROUND TABLE.
Educators Gather Around the Board and
Discuss Topics.

Discuss Topics.
There was a meeting Of the Round
Table last night at Superintendent An
derson's Office. Those present were
Messrs. Anderson, Gwynn, Riggs,
Mitchell, Merrick, Roster, Rea, Dun
can. Mertz and Gladding.
The discussion of the evening hinged
on the special line OF work each princi-
pal Is engaged In. Mr.. Gladding said he
was trying to get his pupils TO work be-
cause they ought 10, not because they
feel like doing ito train the will, as
TO getting bad scholars TO do better.
Mr.. Anderson said he would appeal to
the reason Of the child.
Mr.. Merrick thought 1t well to seper-
ate such pupils and make a special
effort to awaken their interest in some
one branch. Mr.. Duncan thought the
teacher with fifty pupils in her charge
can not get time 10 devote 10 these
pupils. Most OF the perintendents
think such pupils should be advanced
after they have been two terms In one
grade.
The discussion drifted into the ques-
tion OF corporal punishment. 1t was
agreed that 1t can not DO wholly dis
pensed with, but some favored It's use
in extreme cases only-when every
other means had failed; others believe
I'm IT'S freer use. But the occasions
arising when II has 10 be used are grow
ing fewer as the schools improve and
the teachers become better prepared for
their work.
Should there be an ungraded school
established in towns OF 1900 and up
wards, 10 which the incorrigibles may
be taught? Mr.. Giadding said this had
been tried In East Liverpool with excel
len. results. Others thought this might
work well by relieving the teachers OF
the one or two troublesome scholars
who absorb large part Of the teachers
time and energy al the expense Of the
whole school.
