High School Notes.

A new rule has been recommended by the faculty which provides that scholars shall not congregate in the hall during recess time, or in fact, any time. Heretofore there has been habit of the scholars of gathering in the various parts of the hall to exchange greetings with one another until it be- came so common habit that there were nearly more scholars in the halls than the rooms. To put stop to over crowding the halls the above rule was read throughout the school yesterday The boys were warned also not to go up the middle staircase, by to keep entire- ly on the north staircase.

duets consumed by our people will b' purchased from abroad. Importation Of articles which can be produced hert means enforced idleness of our work men. If goods consumed in this coun' try are made abroad, the labor theli production here would require will moi be employed.
 Tt is true that in a few instances duties have been fixed which will en- able the business of production to con- | tinue in this country without serious embarrassment. These instances. how ever. exist only where 1t became neces- sary in order to secure the votes Of democratic senators who desired to protect their friends. There are other instances in which duties have not been 50 seriously diminished. but that busI- ness can struggle on under embarrass- ments, not paying. however. the wages which have heretofore been paid. To continue business in such case 1t will be absolutely necessary to reduce ex- penses to the lowest possible point in order to compete with foreign manu- factures. This means lower wages or stoppage. But there are many branches of industry which, in my judgment. will be destroyed. for the reason that they cannot be continued even with a reduction of wages, which under any circumstances could be &C., cepted by workmen.
 The anticipation of such a law as has been passed has crippled business and deprived our workmen of labor, and nothing in the present law war rants the hope that under 1t the pros- perity which attended the Mckinley law can be restored.
 There may be some temporary im- provement, but few months will suf- flee to bring back business again to its present dead and unprofitable level. Protective duties in this country are absolutely necessary to enable pro- ducers to pay wages which will enable workmen to live as American citizens should live. Except in few instances, duties have been reduced below the protective point. The loss and distress must fall most largely upon labor"
 United States Treasurer Daniel Nash Morgan of Bridgeport has returned from a six weeks trip to the Pacific coast. Treasurer Morgan went to San Francisco on official business in con- nection with the treasury department and on his way home stopped for a few days at Yellowstone park for the benefit of his health. Early last winter Treas urer Morgans eyes failed him, and since that time he has been a great sufferer, but, though against his phy- sician's orders, he has continued at his desk. MT. Morgan expressed himself as we'll satisfied with the west, and said that a revival of business was to be seen on al sides. He will leave in few days for Bonnybrook, his sum- mer home in Connecticut, where he will take couple of weeks rest, before coming here for the winter. During the treasurer's absence the office has been in charge of Private Secretary Watson, a well known Connecticut boy, who has assisted Acting Treasurer Nadine. CAPITOL.

KIDsAPPEss AT PUTNAM.
Gave Up the Lad in Massaehusetts-feI
 dinsnd Ward a Son.

dinand Wsru . Son. Putnam, Sept. ls.-Clarenee, the ten. years-oid son of Ferdinand Ward of Grant & Ward fame, living with his uncle, Fred D. Green, at Thompson was kidnapped at 0 o'clock this morning in public street while on his way to school, by two men in n carriage with 6 sorrel horse, who drove toward the Massachusetts line on deserted road, the boy screaming lustily.
 Ward has tried several times to obs tain peaceful possession of the child. The Ward boy comes into possession of trust fund of ss0,o0o when of age which was left to him by hts mother.
 The officers and Mir. Green traced the men to Webster. where they found the boy in a room in the hotel where he had been left by the men while they went to inform Ward. who was waiting for them. that they had secured the boy. Green took the boy back to Thomp- son.
 Ferdinand Ward. before he became known as a fnancier. was a typesetter in Geneseo. N. Y. and had. 1t Is said, announced an ambition to become a clergyman. He came to New York when he was twenty years old. and after working as clerk q short time se- cured a position as a messenger in the Produce Exchange. There he attracted the notice of James B. Fish, president of the Marine bank, who took quite q fancy to him and helped him in many ways.
 It was through Mir. Fish that Ward met the woman he afterwards married, Miss Ella Green, daughter of Sidney Green of Brooklyn.S She died while Ward was serving his six-year-term In Sing Sing for obtaining money under fraud ulent pretentions. Her death occurred April 10, 1890. in Stamford, Conn. She left son Clarence. who was at that time six years of age.
 Ward was married 10 Miss Belle Storer of Staten Island on March 2l last at Geneseo. Ward at that time announced his intention of settling down upon the family homestead at Geneseo with his wife and son.
 Wards financial career began with speculation in seats, which he bought for $500 or $400 and sold for $2,00O and 5000. He formed a partnership with General Grant in 1883, and through the firm General Grant made investments that ruined him.
 Wards financial operations consist ed in borrowing millions, paying inter- est from the principal and hypothecat- ing securities in such disastrous fash ion that the firm failed on May 6, 1884.
 The Marine bank, of which Fish, who had helped Ward in getting Grant in- terested in his business ventures, was president, closed its doors on the same day.
 Ward was arrested on May q. He was convicted upon charge of fraudu- lently obtaining the certification of note for $71,S00. He was sentenced to Sing Sing for ten years, but was re- leased on May 30, 1892.

In the Brick Payements,

To the Editor of the JOURNAL and COURIER.
 My most worthy Pyrotechnic Friend Bushnell says he did not let me into h1s councils because being a brick maker I might have an axe to grind. Now Friend Frank what committee you and would make on a plan for & change in the study of Greek at Yale. And what committee President Dwight would make as committee on sanding sugar or making brick. I did not say that could prove that brick was better than stone for pavements but, that you could not disprove it. As I am no chicken and you are also out of the shell, and as good brick pavement will last from twenty-five to one hun- dred years it would be something like the bet of the two Boston men made of a suit of clothes for each which the tailor agreed to make for them and wait for his pay until the bet was de- cided. After long delay he found that the bet was that when Bunker Hill monument fell it would fall north.
