Now, to begin with, we do not be-

say that Lewslling has not ordered
anything of the kind. II is further
unnecessary to sSy that we should
not shout amen to it if he did. But
the one and only reformer in this

THE LIE SPIKED.

True to their instincts and to their
masters the hireling press permits
no opportunity to escape to misrsp-
resent and bring rsproach upon the
Commonweal army. While Saunders
command was quartered in this city
the report was sent broadcast that,
at the Cripple Greek mines from
whence they came, the wages now
paid to miners are So per day, and
that these men refused to work for
this price. Of course no person of
good horse sense would believe the
story if il were never contrsdicted,
but the following letter gives the
truth Of the matter:
To the Citizens Of Kansas;
There has come to me the FumoP that my
command is composed Of striking miners
who have refused to work for So q day,
The rumor is wholly untrue. They are not
strikers, and labor at any price was not to
be had By them. The mines have been
closed By the owners and what little work

How They Are Brought Up-Cost o

From the New York Herald.
The education and bringing up OF this
generation of Vanderbilts would have
seemed like a fairy tale to the children of
% years ago, who lived in the old country
place down at New Dorp, on Staten is
land. "Governesses. teachers, spiritual
pastors and masters" play large part in
the lives of this generation, and the little
ones, for some of them are very little,
have very few hours out of the twenty
four occupied-during the winter
months at all events. They are a happy,
healthy-lookinR lot of children, but doubt
il they grow up any the Undetermined
or more contented for the amount Of time
and money bestowed upon their education.
Mrs. Twombley's and Mrs Webb's little
girls lead in common with few of their
acquaintances a systematic life of study,
and, at all events, when they come out in
society, unless fortunes wheel takes a
turn and sends many of them out of sight,
will have little set of their own friends
who, like themselves, have been taught
that riches are, after all, the most TO be
desired things in this world.
At IL o'clock each morning these chill
dren meet at the house Of one Of their
friends, generally at Mrs. Twombley's,
where for two hours they are under the
teaching of Prof. Ross, or. rather, one Of
his assistants, because in this series Of
classes the professor has several teachers
whom he employs TO instruct the chill
dren, and at stated intervals he has ex-
aminations to see if progress is made
The cost of these lessons is, | am told
from $500 to $500 for the winter The
lessons are learned at home under the
supervision of the children's governesses.
Two afternoons of the week there is the
solfegge class, for which the cost is S25
for twenty lessons. Then the private
dancing class, for which is paid $40 for
twenty lessons. The riding class also
sos for twenty lessons. The music les
sons, which are at any price from $25 to
$50 per quarter, and on the unemployed
afternoons, if any are found, there is the
instruction governess, lady who takes
the children to walk, and, who, while
walking is supposed to instruct them in
the knowledge of the various OBJECTS they
see. These walks cost 81 so an hour.
Besides all these, there are one or two
private lessons or talks in different Ian
guages so that the sum total of the edu-
cation Of a child in this set would very
much astonish those who consider, when
they succeed in sending their children to
a private school, they have done remark
ably well
There is one thing very much in the IA
vor of the spending of these immense
sums on children's education, which is
now done by the smart set, and that is it
goes far to disprove the oft-repeated as
sertions that Americans do not care
for home life and children, for a vast
amount of pains and labor is taken
in these days to nave every child
educated up TO the standard considered
best by the people of the Vanderbilt

treaty: The necessity of adopting the
treaty is inevitable, owing to the signing
of similar treaties with Austro- Hungary

The late Reichstag, however, must be
held responsible for hurrying with Byz-
antine toadyism and without examination
to adopt the former treatise"
The consensus of opinion in the Reich

abstain from voting on the treaty In
