Art In the Schools.

new movement for the adornment of
school rooms has been introduced by Ross
Turner and several prominent citizens in
the city of Salem, Mass. The walls have
been tinted and hung with engrevings and
prints, while on the teachers desks and
brackets are casts and busts OF famous men
and representatives of bas-relief groups.
The movement is one that 10 destined to
find favor with all promoters of education,
and judicious expenditure on the part of
school boards in our State, especially in the
large towns and the cities, would transform
the bare, repuslve walls of the school room
into an inviting study of art. 1t would not
only cultivate good taste in the pupils, but
enlarge their power of obser yatien and en-
joyment during their travels in later lie.
Another favorable feature would be the
questions OF au interested pupil, acting as
an incentive to a better understanding of
tue famous works of art, and the develop
ment OF higher ideals in the mind of the
teacher
Who will be the pioneer OF this movement
In Vermont?

ATTACKED BY CHICAGO THUGS.


Rev. j. u. Hopkins, Formerly of Bur-
lington, Rsssts Two Assnilants.
The following from the Chicago Post of
Tuesday last will interest the many YER
mont friends of Rev. John II. Hopkins:
Tho Chicago avenue police are looking for
two negro thugs who held up and attempt
ed to rob Rev. John II. Hopkins, assistant
to Rev. Floyd w. Tomkins, rector of St.
Jamess, last Sunday night. The assault
was committed at tho very door of the
church. as the young curste was about to
enter for the purpose of conducting the even
ing meeting.
MIR. Hopkins had his hand on the door
knob when bury negro caught him by
the shoulder and ordered him to throw uD
his hands. The astopished minister whisked
about and found himself fncs to face with
two brutal thugs. But he is an athlete
and had no intention of throwing up his
hands. No sooner did the thieves see this
than one of them whipped out sandbag
and struck the curate three blows on the
head, but failed to bring him to the ground.
Mr.. Hopkins fought desperately for his
life, calling loudly for assistance. He
knocked one of his assailants to the ground,
At that moment some one appeared in
the church door aud the negroes took tc
their heels. As they fed one OF the rascal'
fired a shot at tho pastor, the bullet mar
rowly missing him and striking tho stone
wall directly behind him. The assault wa
promptly reported to the police, but no ar
rests have been made.

STREET RAILROAD SOLD.
Electricity VIII DO tho Motive Power
After july I.

After july I.
Mr.. Joseph A. Powers of Lansingburgh,
N. Y, representing a syndicate Of capital
lists, purchased controlling interest in the
Winooski and Burlington Horse railroad
Saturday morning. Negotiations have been
under way for some three weeks. but the
stock was delivered and the trade completed
as above stated. a meeting of tho board
of directors was held about 8 a. m. in Elias
Lyman & Co. g office Mr.. l.. II. Turk re
signed as a member of the directory and
president and Mr.. Powers was elected
to fill the vacancies. The management of
the road will remain the same for the pres
ent.
To a FREE PREss reporter Mr.. Powers
said that the road would be equipped cleo
trically with the trolley system in the
spring. He was not prepared to say what
lines would be developed. He will be hero
again the last of the present week, and af-
ter few weeks he will DO in the city
good part of the time until the transforma-
ton of the road from a horse car to an
electric line has taken place. Tue par ties
concerned are the same who equipped the
Glens Falls, n. Y, street railway with
electricity, some IS months since The Glens
Falls road ia considered one Of the best in
the country.
Contractors will be here shortly to look
over the track, etc. Mr.. Powers said the
equipment Of the road would be- as complete
and perfect as their knowledge of the bust
ness will permit; the cars will be the best to
be found. lie always liked to buy cheap,
but he never found it economy to buy cheap
staff. The work of transformation will be
commenced Nav l. and it ia hoped to have
the lines in operation that all who wish
can take ride on an electric car July |.
Mr. Powers attention was drawn to
burlington by the determination OF the
Vermont Electric company to develop tho
water power at the gorge. 1t is probable
that the road will be extended south to
Queen City park, and north to the new
military post, and possibly to Essex juno
ton, which, with the equipment, will cost
in the neighborhood of $3.50, 900.

ELoPEs WITH ANOTHER WOMAN,
Fenry Philip, "a Hack Driver, Deserts
HIS wiio-Probebly Gone 80 Canada.

Fenry Phillip, "a Rack Driver, Deserts
HIS wiio.-Probably Gone 30 Canada.
Henry Phillips, who has been driving an
ccommojation hack for Mr.. l.. W. Hindes,
sopej, it is supposed, with a woman whose
name Is not known, the two taking tho
train at Essex junction Monday night.
Phillips was married and IL reports are
true his domestic relations were pleasant.
Phillips hitched up the team he drove Mon
day evening to do his customary work.
About midnight MIR. Hindes was awakened
by Mrs. PDllips She told him sho had been
worried because her husband had not re-
turned and that another man had just ar
rived with the team. Mr.. Hiudes went to the
barn to take care of his horses, finding them
very warm. He asked the stranger how he
happened to be in charge of his team and the
man replied that Phillips met him on
street in the city and requested that he
drive the team home.
Mrs. Phillips thinks now that Phillips has
run away with another woman. 1t is prob
able that Phillips and tho woman took
train at Essex junction for Canada. He
told parties a few days ago that he had got
n position on the Boston police force but
tins is considered a ruse. He put on his
best clothes Monday morning and when
questioned 10y Mrs. Phillips he told
her his working clothes needed
mendug. She asked him for some money
Monday noon, but be said that Mr.. Hindes
had not paid him for his last weeks SER
viccs aud be did not have any. As a mat
tor OF fact Mr.. Iindes poid him that
morning. Where he aud the woman have
gone 10 merely onjecturs, but they could
| not have got very far on his money. Mrs.
Phillips seems to be the only one to regret
his sudden flight.
Phillips was member OF the Hook and
Ladder company and some members Of the
company told FREE PRESS reprssen tative
last evening that if he had gone away, he
went alone. They never saw him with, or
heard OF his being with, any woman other
| than his wife

One Of the foremost educators in America
is principal L. l.. Camp OF the Dw'ght
school in Now Haven, Conn, whose portrait
is given above. His pupils are scattered
East aud West, and many Of them occupy
responsible positions in business and pro-
fessiounl life, which they have won in no
small measure because of their early in
structicn and training under him.
Prof. Camp taught first in Meriden, thon
as prin cipa of the Hunting grammar school
in New Britain, then as principal OF the
Norwalk Union and high school, Yale g
wel-kuown preparatory institution, and
then under the elms of Now Haven. He
was one of the first principals to see the
advantage and value of manual training
in public schools ard organized classes OF
boys who received instruction in the use of
wood working tools in room fitted up in
the basement Of the school. Prof. Camp is a
most exemplary citizen, and as man
among men his views on matters Of pubic
interest have been always worthy of atten-
ton. He has represented one OF the best
sections Of the city as alderman for several
terms.
Prof. Camp is an active, progressive man,
who has learned the secret OF keeping young
in spite Of advancing years, and he has
probably given no more valuable advice in
the nearly two score years he has labored in
educational fields than is contained In the
following letter recently published in the
papers of New Haven, where there 10 a
great demand for the extraordinary remedy
he refers to. lie says in his letter, referring

FIVE HORSES BURNED.



At $40 O'Clock p. IN. the 18th a passer-by
saw lire in the cornice on the south side OF
the yard Office of Messrs. Gay q Hender-
son on lower Pine street. An alarm was
rung in from box 30 aud the Office door was
broken open. y man by the name of
Cover, who works about the yard, was
found asleep in a chair in the Office. He
was aroused, but was apparently so sur
prissd at tho state OF affairs that he did not
think of five horses in the barn which join
ed the office on the west. few minutes
later some one brooks open the barn door,
but the place was so filed with smoke that
it was impossible TO remain inside more
than an instant. Two of the horses were
dragged out, but one was dead and the
other lived but short time. 1t was i'm
possible to get the other three out.
The building with Office furniture, hoist
ing blocks, tools and scales was valued at
$500 and was insured for $500. 1t was
only partially burned, but in the darkness
! no exact estimate of the loss could be made
The horses were valued at $1,000, insured
for $780, al in Cronyn 81 Beck with'a
sgency. The origin OF the fire is a mys-
terry, though it may have caught from a
yard locomotive. The credit of first stream
belongs to the Boxers, with the Ethans
second.
