hest times. A Jewish tradition runs to
the effect that Methuselah instructed his
descendants in the mishua Tor record
continuous from ADAM on set days for
several hundred years; that Abraham
also taught, and that Jacob was a good
Sunday school attendant while Esau
played truant. This may be tradition
only, but Josephus records that from
the time of Moses until this day the Jews
assembled on the Sabbath for instruc-
tion in the law, and the prophets and BIZ
BILE illusions confirm it.
1t is certain that Bible schools for chill
dren existed among the early Christians.
and Mosheim says hat they established
a school wherever they formed a
church. Why these schools were dis
continued it is not easy to explain, but
it is certain that they were and that in
time it came to be thought a violation of
church law TO teach children the creed
In the vulgar tongue. SO called-that is,
the language of everyday speech. Latin
had become a dead language, but all the
formularies of the church were still
written in it. When the inquisitors
first went among the Waldenses, they
We're amazed to learn that the children
could report all the lessons Of the church
and recite long passages Of Scripture in
their everyday dialect, and it was re-
ported as something very serious.
1t is also certain that other dissenting
sects taught their children in classes and
in the common tongue, and Count Tin
zendorf records that about 1877 there
was a great revival of child teaching
among the Moravian brethren. In 1903
a plan of teaching children was author
lied in England, and in 1860 the Scottish
kirk established regular Sunday schools.
1t also appears that Rev. Joseph A1leine
had a school at Bath in 1865 and that
such schools existed at Roxbury, Mass,
in 1874, in Norwich, Conn. in 1895, ia
Plymouth in 1850 and in various other
places.
Nevertheless the credit is justly due
Mr.. Raikes and his colaborers, and it Is
an interesting fact that he gives the
whole credit to Hannah Ball, q young
Wesleyan who established a school at
High Wycombe in 1859. Robert Raikes
was born at Gloucester in 1875 and died
there in 1911. He was editor and pub
Usher Of the Gloucester Journal, and his
first plan for Sunday schools was to EN-
ploy poor women as teachers, to whom
he paid q shilling per day. So many vol
unteers offered that the pay system waa
oun discontinued, and the rest of the
history Is too well known to need recital

Something which EmbexIier Weeks May
Not Have Considered.

NEW YORK. Sep. l6-District Attorney
Nicoll last night announced that he had,
through the Stat. Department at Wash
ington. engaged the best counsel that could
be obtained in Costa Rica To look after the
extradtion of Francis II. Weeks. News
had been received at the district attorneys
Office that Weeks was very unwilling to
be surrendered without making a deter
mine fight for his freedom. 1t is now
feared that his arrival in this city may be
considerably delayed, as Weeks can, il he
80 chooses, contest his right To he extra
dited at the various calling ports at which
the steamer conveying him here may stop
in the several countries en route from San
Jose, Costa Rics. At any point where the
steamer may be in water 800 miles of the
shore of any foreign country he can claim
an examination and fight against hisextra-
dition. Owing to'Weeks' known objec.
tions 10 returning 10 this country, Assistant
District Attorney John j. Lindsay was oc-
cuped nearly all day in looking up the
laws of eXtradition relating TO various
countries. Mr.. Lindsay said that IL was
we'll known to the authorities here that
Weeks had used all his legal knowledge in
trying to obviate the laws OF eNtradiiio
ever since he absconded. 1t had been
learned that when Weeks was in Cartha-
grua, United States of Colombia, he was
AnXiously studying eXtradition treaties.
He went from CarUhagrua 10 Panama, and
as soou as he learned of the treaty with
this country he left Panama for Costa
Rica, where there is no eXtraditon treaty
with the United States, not knowing, Mr..
Lindsay said, that eXtraditioD is some
times more readily accomplished where
no treaty governs the proceedings.
Spain surrendered Tweed without any
treaty, and, in fact, before n formal de
mand was made for his surrender. Chilli
surrendered the fugitive Buchnell willingly
in 1890, and Crawford, who stole $40 900
from the Adams express company, was
surrendered by the government of Spanish
Honduras without any trouble.

those at the border, who Were near the

border than came away and the crowd
there continues dense. Home seekers ap-

the necessity for carryinga supply OF water
with them into the new country, and all
sorts of vessels are in demand for carrying
it. The stock of canteens has long since
been exhausted and timers are busy solder

are being sold readily at dollar each. A

SCHEMES OF FREEMAsoNs.
A French Bishop Charges the Order With
Ineiting Wars.

PARIS, Sep. 16.-Bishop Favs OF Greno-
BILE delivered a remarkable Grafton at
Miribers funeral He denounced English
Freemasons unmeasuredly because, he said,
they had pushed France into the Crimean
war in order that she might exhaust her
gold treasure in needless combat The
French Freemasons, added the Bishop,
were not less blameworthy. They had in
cited French statesmen to take sides
against Catholic Austria in order that the
unfication of Italy might be accomplished.
The result of this deplorable and unright-
eous policy was that united Italy had now
turned on France and was menacing the
Alpine frontier. Italy's new strength
moreover, was being utilized at home to
resist tho temporal power of the Pope
