an awful catastrophe. The Salvation
] Army people were preparing for the end
of the world and calling upon sinners to
repent Of their evil deeds while they had
time. After exhorting sinners to repent
ance, the leaders Of the Salvation Army
took up 9 collection, probably for the
purpose Of paying expectation charges to
the next world.
Rev. J. M. Cleary, the newly appointed
pastor OF ST. Charles Borromeo's parish,

sermon from the gospel of the day. At
7:3O p. m. he will deliver popular ad-
dress in the same place on f'The Idea of
the Church" Father Cleary has the
good fortune of having some Of the best
men in the city within the confines OF
his parish, who can always be depended
on to promote the work in which he is
engaged. The same mon have helped to
build the other Catholic churches in the
city by generous contributions, and at
the proper time they will be ready to
make the last and greatest effort of their
lives to build the new church of st.
Ccarles Borromeo in South Minneapolis.
Agnes Hawkins, wife of NJ. j. Haw-
kins, died early Sunday morning, Nov.
9th, at 625 Seventh avenue north, the
family residences. She was 33 years of
age and i'll about one month. She was
the daughter of John D. Lyons OF the
same address, was born at Racine, Wis,
moved to Lake City, and then to Renson,
MINI, where she was married to Mr..
Hawkins in 1887. She leaves one child,
little girl. The funeral was held Tues
day morning from Immaculate Concep-
ton church at $50 o'clock. Requiem
mass was celebrated. The pail bearers
were Sylvester Keliher, Geo. Gillen, Ed
ward Mcdonald, Peter Mitchell, Thos.

At meeting of the board of education
on Tuesday afternoon the committee on
rules brought in a report favoring the
infliction of corporal punishment upon
refractory and disorderly pupils when all
other reasonable msans of correction have
been found Intellectual and written per-
mission is obtained from the parents of
incorrigible children. Supt. Jordan sus
tanned the report and showed the neces
sity of adopting such severe methods to
maintain proper discipline. A. T. An
keny, the president of the board, thought
the recommendation was outrageous and
that the resorting to force in the punish
ment of scholars is violation Of the law
and relic Of barbarism. After heated
discussion the recommendation was
adopted by majority of one. "You got
it by the skin of your teeth," exclaimed
MI. Ankeny, "but promise you that I
will use all my efforts to have the meas
ure reconsidered" We think the board
acted right in adopting such rule.
Bold pupils often set the authority of the
teachers at defiance and get up in their
seats to stalk back" to their Instructors
in an insulting and exasperating manner.
Many of the pupils attending the pub ic
schools deserve to be sent to reform
schools instead of being permitted to de-
moralize the public schools by their pres
ence. We believe that instead of the
rule for inhiction of corporal punishment
being relic of barbarism, it is a most
necessary expedient for the making of
good citizens. We would prefer that the
board should create new Office to be
filled by humane and muscular man,
non-partisan il politics and religion
whose duty it shall be to administer
castigation to incorrigible pupils of the
male sex. The principals of the schools
should be exempted from whipping them.
If any parent is dissatisfied with the
punishment inflicted, he can cause the
arrest of the official functionary for as
sault and battery and bring him into
court. Something must be done to en-
force discipline in the schools. and boys
must be taught that they owe obedience
and respect to those placed in authority
over them.
