scuOOls are Ine means Oy WnlCn tne cnllu-
rem of to-day are to be made intelligent
citizens. During the coming campaign
the politicians may tell the people that the
future of tho country depends entirely
upon the success of the platform of this or
that party, upon the success, perhaps of
protection, free trade, farmers alliance, or
prohibition; but the success and prosperity
Of the country is dependent upon the man
ner in which the people educate the little
boys and girls. The United States govern
ment has placed before every little boy and
girl in the land ladder of fame and tells
them to mount that ladder if they can,
On the question of immigration MIR.
Deily said that in the early history of the
country immigration was of great benefit
to the nation. The sturdy sons of the old
country coming into our midst became
naturaiized and thoroughly imbued with
the principles of our government and its in
stituLions. They were welcome and are
to-day. The man who comes into our
midst for the purpose of betterin9 his con-
dition, adopting our customs and our lan-
guage, and upho ding our institutions, are
welcome at all time-i but the man who
comes here for revenue only, who comes
here aiming at the destruction of our
liberties, are menace TO our institutions,
and l say the time has come when we should
put down the gates at Ellis Island, pick out
the men we want and send the refuse back 1"
Great applause followed this declaration
In closing his address and presenting the
flag Mr.. Deily said, in behalf of Major
Jennings Council, No. 367, Jr. o. U. A.
NJ, l present to ou this emblem of liberty.
May you ever guard it. May you ever
teach all that it represents to us as nation,
and as people. May it ever in glory
wave, and may we all learn to love it and
respect it, and defend it, if need be, with
our life's blood"
Three cheers were given for Mr.. Deily,
after which the band played Way Down
Upon the Suanee River.
Rev. Powick was next introduced and
he received the flag in behalf of the School
Board in very neat and graceful address.
He made several patriotic hits that elected
warm applause. He maintained that the
important question is not as to whether a
man is born in America, but as to whether
America is born in the man.
The singing of Columbia, the Gem OF
the Ocean," by the Hughes choir, was fol-
lowed by stirring address by Rev. Nc.
Nally. A delightful strain of humor ran
through the remarks and when the assem-
blage was not applauding some patriotic
declaration it was roaring with laughter
over some humorous remark. AS public
speaker Rev. McNally is certainly success
1t is regretted that space will not permit the
publication of a detailed report of the ad'
dress.
Upon taking his seat Rev. McNally wa,
honored with three cheers by the large
gathering. Three cheers were also given
for Major Jennings Council.
The Grant band then played "My
Country 'Tis of Thee" after which the
choir rendered "Hurrah for the Fourth O
July"
Rev. James next gave the benediction
after which the assem- blage dispersed and
the exercises of the day we're declared a
end.

The Desk Boys Annual baseball Fever.
With the balmy spring weather a
great change has come over the red
headed desk boy. six Fingered Pete,
the Chief Of the Danites," Is laid In the
drawer for a well earned rest and the
Office cat ventures from under the ex-
change editors desk with little fear Of a
coating Of paste. The boy has got his
animal dose of baseball fever and the
sporting editor and baseball reporters
will be the recipients Of his distinguished
consideration for the next few months.
He has appointed himself editor of the
juvenile baseball department, and any
freckle faced youth with broken nose or
crooked fingers is nailed by him the mo-
ment he puts his pug nose inside the
sanctum. Then ensues something like
the following:
Freckle Face ctremulously)--Is do
sportin boss arOund2
Desk Boy doftilyl-What club. please2
Freckle Face tbrighteningp-D Der Eagle
Eyes.
Thereupon the desk boy nonchalantly
pulls over pad, yawns as If trifie
wearied and produces the following:
THE Eagle Eyes have organized for the
season, and would like to meet any mines
whose players are under sixteen. Chal-
lenges may be sent to-
Here he shoves the pad over to Freckle
Face and says, Sign in yer name an ad-
dress, please"
Freckle Face does so, and goes bound
ing down into Park row joyfully, with
u sort of an admiring awe Of the desk
boys perspicacity. The latter looks at
his production admiringly, advances
softly to the sporting editor and says
deferentially: Der captain of der Eagle
Eyes was in, but | didn't want him
troublin ye. So | made short note of
it. Has Mike Kelly been signed yeti"
He chums with the baseball reporters
assiduously during the season, and snubs
his companions numerically His great
est triumph is to usher in Il manager or
magnate At such times the sporting
editors desk receives an amount of rub
bing and attention not equaled in six
mouths in the ordinary course of events.

Postage Stamps of Spain.

Baby Alfonso, king of Spain, enjoys a
distinction unique in infantile mon
archs. His picture is sold by the mil
lions, and his subjects-Spanish and Gu
ban, rich and poor, whether royalists,
anarchists, republicans, revolutionists
or banditti-press the vignette to their
lips. The six-year-old rulers face is en-
graved on Spanish and Cuban postage
stamps.
To the practical American eye the
baby stamp is an oddity, but passing

Sumae Poisoning.

Some careful experiments have been
made by eminent pathologists on poison
by the sumac, the result indicating an
almost perfect identity in the result
with the disease known as erysipelas,
and it is suggested therefore that the
same remedy may be used for Rhus
poison as for the trouble in erysipelas

strong and applied with shaving brush
on the affected parts, is a well known
and effectual remedy Those liable to
be poisoned by this plant will do we'll to

A Jury That Couldn,t Disnrres.

A peculiar thing happened in United
States Judge Lacombe's court yester-
day One luryman sat upon case.
Emile Vatable, dapper little Franco
American had the proud privilege of
representing jury of twelve persons,
peers" of the defendant in the suit.
He seemed to enjoy the affair hugely.
The suit was brought by George W.
Kidd against the st. Paul Fire Insur-
ance company. On JAN 90, 1891, sixty
live barrels of spirits shipped by him
over the Nickel Plate road were de-
stroyed BY fire, and suit was brought to
compel the insurance company to pay
the sum of $3.50.
Judge Lacombe, after testimony had
been introduced and argument had, di-
rected the juryman to find for the plain
tiff in the full amount, with costs, which
ne very promptly did.
''lt was good thing" said Juror
Vatable afterv'ard, "that the Judge di-
rected me what kind of verdict to
bring, for if he had not the jury would
most certainly have disagreed. New
York Advertiser.
