Gen. Fremont.s widow.

Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, widow
of Gen. John G. Fremont, has a just
claim against the government In 1863
Gen. Halleck telegraphed Gen. George
Wright, then commanding at San Fran
cisco, to take military possession of
Point San Jose aud erect battery for
its defense, the question of ownership
to be determined hereafter" This was
done by order of Secretary Stanton.
Some of this property belonged to Gen.
Fremont, and bill was introduced in
Congress some years ago to restore the
property; but it was defeated, 1T is
claimed by Mrs. Fremont, by Cen
John Coburn, then a member Of
Congress from Indiana This happened
in 1870, and since then some fifty
persons, VINO were dispossessed by this
order of Secretary Stanton, have had
their property restored. The grounds
upon which the bill for relief of Mrs.
Fremont failed were, that the property
had grown enormously in value, and
the government had erected too many
valuable buildings upon it. Justice
Field of the United States Supreme
Court says that Mrs. Fremont has u
perfectly just claim, either to have the
property restored to her, or be paid its
full value. There is little doubt but
that Gen. Fremont's heirs viii some
day be reimbursed for their property
and it ought to be soon, for the family
are in poor circumstances.-Nat

MRS. TREATS LECTURE.
She Discussed Froebel and the Ideal
Kindergarten.

She Discussed Froebel and the Ideal
kindergarten.
At the close of the afternoon school
session yesterday Mrs. LucretIa Willard
Treat gave an address to the teachers
in the training class at the Fountain
street school. About $50 teachers and
mothers were in attendance. Mrs.
Treat said that since June she had
been across the Rocky mountains to
the Pacific coast and had seen the work
there; had worked in a large summer
assembly; had seen the work In many
places and had found 1t nowhere ahead
of the kindergarten work In this city.
Michigan was "a far advanced and the
local field was as inspiring as the work
anywhere. Mrs. Treat announced that
she had received letter from Mrs.
Bloro, who is the head and heart of the
work, in which she announced visit
to this city in the near future.
After reviewing the history of the
kindergarten, though briefly, Mrs.
Treat said that the best educated wo-
men of the age are entering the work
which is now coming nearer II Froe-
bells idea than ever known before.
Many of the vexing and serious prob
lens of social economy can be solved
only by the kindergarten. Bring up
the child right, start him In the right
way early with the thought of the
Christ life before him and labor strikes
will become unknown. Froebel says
mothers are those who can teach the
soul of another, the spiritual mother
as against the physical mother. Ac-
cording to his theory there are no bad
children-some seem bad, very bad
but the good is there. They have been
injured either by training or inherit
ance. Make their environments right,
make their work and study beautiful
and sweet and the little soul will grow
the right way.
After long and earnest talk on
Froebel and his methods Mrs. Treat
closed. Much interest was expressed
in the work, and ten young women
have already joined the class.
