OBITUARY..

| O0ut OAnIs
The sad news of Baker Foreman's death
on the 18th inst, at Ell Reno, Indian Ter
ritory. at which place he was in the en-
ployment of r. NJ. Wright & Co. as man.
ager of their business, was communicated
to us this week by Hon. r. NJ. Wright.
who was at his bedside when he expired.
1t was generally known here that that
insidious destroyer. consumption, had
made encroachments upon his cOnstitu
ton, and that the conflict for supremacy
was a stubborn one, replete with alterna-
tons of hope and anxiety. Still, even
those who knew him most intimately en-
tertained no fears that the end was so
near and the rews of his sudden and un
expected demise was sad tidings, indeed.
for Baker, as he was commonly known.
was an universal favorite in social and
business circles in this city. Friends he
had innumerable; enemies none.
His life was grand fight in which
death gained no victory; for, though in
love with life and with its friendships.
still he feared not death and met it with
that calm and peaceful resignation which
bespeaks of happy immortality. He
was the trusted business manager of the
house of r. NJ. Wright & Go. at this
place almost uninterruptedly for ten
years, and his fidelity to his employers is
best expressed in Mr.. Wright's terse Ian
guage: ''He was my most faithful and
best friend" This sentence speaks vol
umes. 1t means that as the confidential
clerk and manager of this house. doing
business of s25O,0OO per year. he had new
er abused its condolences; that he was
frank and fair. courteous and honest.
with its patrons. That he was relied and
leaned upon in the responsibilities and
partner. brother and friend during all
these years and had been faithful.
He was the principal organizer and pro-
moter and the first president of the Phe-
nix social club of Dodge City. He
planned it to draw the young men of
Dodge City together of evenings away
from temptation, and where the sur
rOundings were akin to the prosperous
and happy family fireside. How well
and admirably he succeeded in this laud-
able undertaking, all of our citizens can
testify. The institution itself and its
good work exemplify his character and
will ever perpetuate his memory.
He loved the pure, the beautiful. the
good. He admired virtue and modesty
in woman and character and manhood in
man, and defended them against gossip,
innuendo and SANDER. He tore the mask
from hypocrisy and denounced dishones-
ty and fraud in meaning language. He
lent no ear to murmurs, insinuatiOns or
aspersions against his friends. The
world might grow cold and abandon them
but he never. His was friendship pure
and strong of that character which never
wavers by the yacillation of fortune or
by the temporary loss of popularity and
power. He was honorable in his deal
ings. His word was his bond, his prom
Use his covenant. He helped the weak,
administered charity to the poor with a
generous hand and comfOrted the SORROW
ing and distressed with a sincerity of
heart which "spake of itself''-by these
virtues he lived, in their fullness he died.

From the Wichita Beacon.
Col. r. II. Smith was sitting in the rO-
tunda of the Metropole yesterday and
near him two gentlemen were engaged in
conversation. They were evidently
strangers getting acquainted and in reply
to question one of the men remarked
that he was born and lived while boy
at Martinsville, Indiana. That is the
colonel's old home and he at once be-
came interested.
When the Martinsville man said his
name was Sims. Colonel Smith inter-
rupted the conversation to tell them that
he too lived at Martinsyille, Indiana,
when quite a small boy, but left there for
ty-two years ago; that he used to go to
school with little chap named Sims who
lived I'D on the hill and had hundreds of
pigeons.

the pigeons said the stranger. 'NOw,
who are yOu.'

a Cat and Dog Story.

Here is very charming cat and
dog story, for the truth and accuracy
of which the proud inhabitants of
the Swiss village where it occurred
recently are one and all ready to
vouch. A troublesome cat in the
village had been doomed to watery
death, and the children of the owner
had been told off to take it in sack
to the river Aar and there to drown
it. The house dog accompanied the
party to the execution, which was
carried out according to parental in
structions. But, much to the sur
prise Of the inmates, a short time
after the cat and dog, both soaking
wet, reappeared together at their
owners door. The dog on seeing
that the sack containing the cat was
thrown into the river, jumped after
it, seized it with his teeth, dragged it
to the bank, tore it with his teeth
and restored his friend, the cat, to
life and liberty. 1t goes without say
ing that the death warrant of the cat
was destroyed after that marvellous
escape.

The Funeral Was Postponed.

AS an example of unrewarded &C.
centric thrift an anecdote told to
the Journal on Saturday is worth re-
cording, though it does touch upon
funeral joking. Some forty years
ago Massachusetts good wife lay in
her bed apparently dying with con-
sumption. AS the family lived four
miles from the undertaken and
pastor, and as the roads were badly
blocked with snow, the husband,
when called to the village on business
on Tuesday, decided - thoughtful
man!-to save journey in that bit
ter weather by engaging the minister
and undertaken at once, and appoint
ing the funeral for Friday. In some
way Wednesday the sick woman heard
of this, and, arousing herself from
her supposed dying condition, de-
clared: 'There'll be no funeral in this
house this week." The funeral was
postponed. Friday it took place
forty years after it was originally set.
The husband is still living at the age
of 80.-Boston Journal.

is of the widest and grandest de-
scription. Lofty peaks, laden with
snow, rising abruptly, are seen, and
again chains of glacier lakes, streams
dashing down from beetling bluffs,
made the picture. Glorious views
suddenly open over masses OF rock
like sea frozen magically into stone
or gray and ashy plains.
The glaciers, which move irresist-
IDLY down the mountain, are the
makers of the passes. Grinding their
course on, they wear away a path
which man uses for his own needs.
All who have occasion to cross the
mountains, even the animals, have
to use these passes, since on account
of the height any other way would be
impracticable Bears and wild sheep
in their journeys employ the same
passes as do men. Here and there,
in the midst Of the passes, vegetation
fourishes luxuriantly, with the wild
rose, aster and poppy. Delicate ferns
bloom about the rocks and, with
groups of most fragrant flowers, COM
bine somewhat to relieve the too
great severity Of the mountains.

CURTIS ON SCHOOL REFORM.

The Scholars View on Civil Service in the
Educational System.
George William Curtis, the Chan
cellor of the University of the State
of New York, in speech on 1.-THE
Public School and Civil Service Re
form" in Philadelphia the other even
ing, before the Department Of Super
intendence of the National Education
al Association, showed the exhaustive
study which he has made Of the sub
ject, and among other things said:
Is not every argument for the APP
pointment of the great body of minis
terial officers of the Government by
fitness and character wisely ascer
tanned Indefinitely stronger when ap-
piled to the selection of school teach
ers? And if the selection of those Of
ficers by methods which secure their
independence promote their self-re-
spect and stimulate their interest and
zeal instead of destroying greatly in
creases the efficiency Of the public
service, elevates the tone of public
employment, and removes reprOach
from the national name, is it to be
apprehended that similar care would
harm the character and efficiency of
the public schools? Teacherships in
the schools are not popularity regarded
as subjects OF patronage. But they
are not so practically, and is it wise
that they should remain so? To be
properly effective, the examinations
must be uniform, entirely competent,
and wholly independent Of the ap-
pointing power The examiners must
be sincerely interested in education,
familiar with the duties of teacher,
and with the requirements Of the art
Of teaching, and capable of conduct
ing an examination to ascertain both
the scholastic attachments and the
specific professional fitness of the can
didateS.
By City Boards of Education and
County Commissioners, or Trustees,
Or Committees, who are appointed by
political officers or nominated by par
ty conventions; these are the author
tiles who examine and certify or Ii
cense and appoint more than 80 per
cent. of the teachers Is this a rea-
ticers qualified for duties SO delicate
and important as those Of teachers in
public schools? Is it a method which
would be likely to secure the most
competent service of any kind? There
is, indeed, an examination now, but
the examination and certifying board
is appointed by political officers Or
named by party convention. Is a
party caucus generally intent upon
competence in the candidates whom
it dominates? But as the old English
Judge said to the horse-thief: you
are to be hung not because you have
stolen a horse, but that horses may
not be stolen" so the spoils system
should be abolished, not because fit
ness is never considered by it but be-
cause fitness is not it's object.

HOW French Girls Are Educated.

The French maiden is educated
after very different plan from that
which governs the American girls
instruction. She enters at years
the school, where she remains for
six, ten, or twelve years, until her
education is finished. The schools
open in September and continue I'M
til August, with no vacation except
a few days at Christmas and Easter,
and no Saturday holidays. Under
this system the teachers thoroughly
understand their pupils, and lay out
for them a course Of study in which
there is gradual and constant deyel-
opment, but no hurry or examining
for promotion into higher schools or
colleges.

Something That is Truly an Elixir OF

In paper published in a French
medical magazine, DR.. Brown-Sequard,
the famous "elixir of life" advocate
adduces some of the reasons that have
led him to the conclusion that normal
sleep is the effect of an inhibitory act.
instead Of depending as formerly SUM-
posed upon a vascular contraction tax

lments plainly prove that sleep NAV

the loss of consciousness in sleen in mn
merous other accidental or pathological
cases is the effect of an Inhibition
OF the cerebral faculties is to be
believed. DR.. Brown-Sequard argues,
because OF direct proofs showing that
the loss of consciousness in the case Of a
puncture of the bulb, and in other cases
also is beyond dispute, due to the in
hlbltory act, and also because of all that
Is known of the circumstances which
precede or accompany sleep. The
broad statement made by the cele bratai
author Is that there exists, when sleen

Spends One Day in Bed.

A famous English beauty, Lady
Londonderry, has a peculiar and sue
cessful system for keeping her youth
full freshness. Although she is per-
fectly we'll she lies in bed one day in
ten, sleeping in the morning Of this
day Of rest until she wakens natur-
ally. After a hot bath and light
breakfast she goes back to bed and
rests quietly in darkened room I'M
til o'clock, when she dresses in a
peignoir, dimes in her room, and sits
about idly until 10 o'clock, when she
goes to bed again. No social event is
considered of sufficient Importance to
cause the lady to give up this periodi-
cal retirement from the hurry and
excitement of modern living.
