JAMES Is A TERROR.
Disabled One School Principal-His
Work in HOboken.

James Powell is dangerous 14-year-
old crank whose eccentrcities have for
several nights put discipline at the Ho-
boken night school at discount. and
threatened Superintending Principal
Rue with bodily harm. Powell's par
ents moved from Arlington few weeks
ago to No. Z Second street, Hoboken.
They had to move to Hoboken on account
of their son James, who one day SHE'D an
inkstand at the principal of the school he
was attending. The aim was true
and the jnkstand struck the
principal in the forehead
makinga deep and ugly wound. The
principal was confined to his home for
several days and there was mo school,"
Several doctors in Arlington visited
James and found that the boy was rub
ject to epileptic fits, and that
while under their influence his
vicious disposition could not be con-
trolled. As the wounded principal spoke
of having his vicious scholar arrested
Mrs. Powell moved
IN HoBoKEN.
About week ago Mrs. Powell and her
son James presented themselves before
Superintending Principal Rue at
the Hoboken night school and
James was admitted as
scholar Mrs. Powell did not tell Mr..
Rue Of James ailment or of the assault
on the Arlington principal. Ever since
the night of james admission the
school has been in an uproar,
and Truant Officer Desmond, who
is generally about the building
has had to be called in to admonisn
James. 1t was utterly impossible to
maintain discipline. however, and sew
eral pupils left.
Last night James was more boisterous
than ever. He called Mr.. Rice vile
names and invited him out to fight.
Ffna1ty he pfcKed up BOARD ruUbef and
fired it. Mr.. Rice lodged and the rubber
made big dent in the wall behind his
desk.
UNDER ARREST.
Truant Officer Desmond plaS 4 the
wicked James under arrest, and he was
locked up In cell at the station house.
,, The truant officer then visited the par.
ents and learned of the Arlington affair.
This morning the boy was arraigned be-
fore Recorder McDonough. The Recorder
was unable to do anything, although
McRue and Truant Officer Desmond
were very DESTROYS of having
him punished. The Recorder said
that If physicians certificate was pro
duced stating that the boy was mentally
unbalanced he would commit him to an
asylum. James left the Court room with
his mother. He will not be again ad-
mitted to the nikht schools.

Children's Table Manners.

One of the frs lessons of a child at the
table should be to take liquids noiselessly
from the side of the spoon, writes Elisa
beth Robinson Scovil in tine February
Ladies Home Journal Tnis does not
seem to be an easy accomplishment,
Judging from the small number of per-
sons who possess it. Another should be
to keep the lips closed when eating solids,
to avoid the disagreeable noise thut some
times accompanies the action. Bread to
be eaten with soup or milk should be laid
at the left of the plate aud broken with
one hand only. Meat must be finely cut
and eaten slowly; vegetable food requires
even more mastication than meat, as it
must be thoroughly mixed with the sa-
liva to insure proper digestion. 1t is bet
ter to help children to small quantities
aud to repienish the plate than 10 give
too large portion at once. When there
is decided dislike 10 any article of TODD,
only a mouthful or two should be given
at one time.

HALLINGER'S APPEAL.


JaiIer Birdsall Must Show Cause Why
Justice is Not Done.
Counsellor Peshall made another move
in the Hallinger case yesterday at
Trenton. 1t was published exclusively
in THE NEWS several days ago that
the appeal that had been taken
from the United States District Court to
the Circuit Court was illegal. and in con-
sequence void. This discovery was made
after the execution of Hallington had beea
declared off To make the appeal regular
and to bring the case to a final termln-
alton Mr.. Peshall applied to Judge
Green, of the District Court, yesterday
for new appeal to the United States
Supreme Court. and it was granted. 1t
will be held at Washington, March s.
District Attorney Winfield said in re-
lation to the writ that he had
expected it, for the Circuit Court
had no jurisdiction in the case. Mr..
Winfield said that the case would proba-
bly, be argued in the Su preme Court very
soon after March 8. and an immediate de-
cision would doubtless be rendered.

self-Conceit VS.. seIf-Confidence.

Yet while conceit may thus produce a
negatively agreeable effoct, it cannot be
called a positive charm. We do not think
a person more pleasing because OF his
conceit, and we do not encourage IL ~
those who are dear to us. A parent
represses rather than stimulates it in his
child, and a person who should plainly
and laboriously cultivate If would not be
in peril of canonization. 1t is doubtful
if conceit ever accompanies real great
ness. A great man. indeed, may have the
self-con fidence that springs from the
consciousness of powe but conscious
ness of power is very different from con-
ceit of it, The one is fact; the other. q
