A CHICAGO SCHOOL MISTRESS

Miss Harrison Gives Her Views of schools
for Little Ones.
Miss Harrison, Of Chicago, said she in
dorsed the caution of Mr. Fitzpatrick con-
corning inefficient teachers, but she be-
lieved that the mother instinct in every
woman would atone for other defects. In
Chicago the teachers had to undergo a
three-years' training. Miss Harrison said
she believed that there should be a specia!
supervisor for the kindergarten depart
ment as much as for the drawing and other
departments. Replying TO the criticisms
of the play circle Miss Harrison said that
it was based on the initiative instinct, and
was valuable because it interested the
children.
Danger of Oyercrowded Glasses.
When there was general understand
ing of the kindergarten system mothers
circles would grow around them. She in
dorsed Mr.. FitZpatrick's suggestion that
there be sixty children in the kindergar
ten, thirty in the morning and thirty in
the afternoon. What those who were in
terested in the kindergarten feared was
that the classes would be overcrowded
There was too great an idea of the expense
of the kindergarten. In in one class of 100
in Boston the total cost of material used
was $50.
The Money Question Discussed.
Commissioner Harris said he hoped op-
portunity would be offered to discuss the
financial aspect Of the system. The con-
flict between the taxpayers league sand
the advocates of the system was the most
important question, He explained the ex-
perience which he had had as superinteno-

Criticised Supreme Court.
The best people in Missouri, he said,
were on the side of the kindergarten. He
criticised the decision of the supreme
court of Missouri, which declared the kim

The Seizure of y British Sealing Schooner
by the Russian Authorities.
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 25.-The decision
of the British government to dispatch a
man-of- war to Vladivostock, Siberia, to
investigate the recent seizure Of Cana
dian sealer by Russian cruisers was in
response to demand from the Domin-
ion government, a member of the cabi-
net says, for the protection Of its prop
erty.
It is not yet known what British
schooner is to be sent to Siberia, but it
probably will be one now at the Chile
station.
Judging by what can be learned here,
Russia did not respond so readily to the
British governments demand for the
punishment of the Russian officers who
made the seizures and for the restoring
of the confscated property. The British
government has taken a more forcible
and decisive course to bring about sat-
isfactory explanation and adjustment Of
the insult to the British flag.
An official high up in parliamentary
circles says that he fears before the mat
ter is settled there will be a collision be-
tween England and Russia.

FOR CAHENSLEYISM
CONVENTION OF GERMAN CATHO-
LICS IN SESSION AT NEWARK.

In Point Of Numbers This Meeting Far
) Exceeds ANY Previous Gathering-The
!, New York Times Predicts That Cahens-
leyis,n VIII Be Approved.
NEWARK, n. j., Sept. 26.-The sixth
annual convention of the German Cath
olics Of the United States was begun in
this city during the day. The conven-
ton will, in point Of influence, as well
as of numbers, far exceed any previous
meeting. Not less than 1900 delegates
from tho German Catholic parishes of
the whole country have already arrived
here, while every train brings new addi-
tions to the numbers. With the men,
bers of the many German Catholic So
cieties and with the mass Of Catholic
laymen generally the total number of
participants may safely be placed at
from 1000 to 5000 persons. Every ter
ritory within the jurisdiction Of the
United States is represented. All the
populous, cities of the Eastern and Mid
die states, and especially of the West
and Northwest, have sent their dele
gates. There are German Catholic
priests and laymen from Now York.
Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul. The Importance
Of the congress from Catholic point Of
view may be inferred from the hearty
endorsement by Catholic priests. The
statement is made by the Now York
Times that Cahensleyism will be ap-
proved by this gathering. In other
words it is their purpose to direct, if
possible, the stream of emigrants and to
keep the emigrant loyal to old world
traditions lie is warned against Amer
ican influences as being dangerous to his
faith.
First Days Proceedings.
Shortly after 2 p. N. the meeting OF
the delegates from the German Young
Mems CATHOLIC societies was held in st.
Peters school house, and resolutions
were offered and referred to commit
tee. In the evening the public exercises
of the Sixth German Catholic congress
were held. There were over 1000 men
in line in the procession, all carrying

The vets, many of whom came from
Minnesota and some who are residents
of other states focked together on sew
eral occasions and heartily enjoyed
themselves.
Major A. B. Bracket died at his resi-
dence in ST. Paul Thursday after an i'll
ness of about two weeks. There was prob
ably no man in the State of Minnesota
who was more generally Or more favor
ably known than was Major Bracket.
For thirty six years he has been prom
inent personagein the state. The greater
part of that time he has been in the
Office of United States marshal. AS an
Indian fighter he has an excellent repu-
tation, and Brackets battalion was one
of the most noted in the civil war.
The much mooted discovery Of man.
eanese mine near Monticello was settled
Tuesday by the shipment of $4,000
pounds to St. Paul manufacturing
firm. The manganese ore has been
tested by different manufacturing COM
panies and pronounced valuable. Sew
eral orders have been received from vari-
Gus points and there is prospect of the
establishment of permanent manganese
industry. J. N. Stacy, the discoverer
and owner Of the manganese beds. first
found the mineral over year ago.
For several weeks past the streets and
sidewalks of Little Falls have been GOV.
cred with frogs, SO that it is almost
impossible to keep from stepping on
them. A few days ago a train on the
Little Falls and Dakota road was de.
layed nearly two hours on account OF
them. The frogs were so thick on the
track that hundreds were crushed and
the wheels slipped. Another peculiar
thing in regard to them is that they are
all hopping in northwesterly directions
hardly single instance can be seen OF
their going any other way.

here, that if the good people Of Sar-
gent county, North Dakota, don't
elect him to the state senate they will
make sad mistake. We do not know
who is running against Williamson,
and neither do we care, we can assure
the people of that district that a truer,
more reliable, conscientious man than
James P. Williamson never drew the
breath of life. No man knows him
better than ourself, and we are ready
to stake our life on his integrity and
honesty. He is an able man, clear
headed, and as a business mans he is
second to none. In fact, he has all
the necessary requisites to make a
first class legislator.

Outbreaks Rewarded.

PIERRE, S. D., Sept. G6.-James Cava-
naugh, an Indian trader on the Chey-
enne river, reports runners from the
Bad Lands working among the Indians
on Cherry creek, in an attempt to work
up another such an outbreak as that of
two years ago, which ended at Wounded
Knee. Their present desire is caused by
the encouragement given them by the
government after their former break.
When it was ended, the Indians, many
OF. whom owned no property except the
ponies they rode, presented claims for
losses which were paid and in addition
their rations were increased, and they
consider they were rewarded rather than
punished for their devilment.
