Referring to the preparations for The oron-
daga County Centennial next week. the Syra-
cuss Standard says: One OF the most inter-
esting representations viii be ''Ihs Oid Time
School," which is being arranged ty Mrs.
Francis Wr sht Marlette The school which
is to be represented is tho Fayetteville aca.,-
eny OF 1S4s. This being Tie only school oi tho
county which has the honor of maxim, "a
President OF the Uri.ed States" Grover
Cleveland was pupil OF this school. and ,he
same noble woman who taught him, MISS
Coles, will he the teacher OF the school pre-
sentcd. Miss Coles is a very bright. active
woman OF 20 years. and while she Is quite
proud to have one OF her boys IN the White
House and head of the nation, Grover never
forgets to whom he is indebted for the foup-
dation of his education, wl,;cn was the STEP
ping stone to his success in life. The pupils
OF this school will he, US far as possible, de-
scendants OF those who were taught in '43 by
Miss Cole. Among them will be represented
the Hurds, the Edwards, the Blanchards, the
Smiths, the Eatons, and others who are solid
representatives OF the old families of Onon-
daga county.

One OF the sweetest thoughts of Decoration
Day is the mingling Of the Union here and
the union hereafter.-Philadelph Times.
There are more soldiers graves to decorate
to-day than ever before. The old guard
dwindles.-Chicago Tribune.
The lily speaks the language of the heart
In fragrant beauty on the sodded grave,
The modest rose and violet impart
Rich tribute to the brave.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
No language is too good. no song is too
sweet to sing the praises and the heroic deeds
of the brave sons whose graves we decorate
and whose memory we celebrate this day.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
With the passage of each year the painful
truth becomes more and more apparent that
the ranks of the veterans who stood by the
country III its hour OF need are slowly thin
mag out. and that the dav approaches when
all the gallant hoys who answered Father
Abrahans call in the days OF 81 will ha9e

cHuDRFN's RIGHTS.

Very few people who have anything to do
with children seem to think that they have
any rights other than those which the parents
NAV choose TO bestow-something similar to
the limited liberty granted by sovereigns to
their subjects. OF late, however, many
advanced thinkers have come to the conclu-
sion that there is "A right way and a wrong
way to bring up children, and that we must
adopt the right way if we expect the future
generation to be any improvement on the
present.
In the West especially, and throughout the
country generally, the value OF the kinderi
garten to this end is being estimated at its
true worth. In San Francisco. for instance.
the free kindergartens are an incalculable
benefit to the state. In these many little
waif is picked up and given that care and
instruction which it could never have received
otherwise, and its mind directed into channels
calculated to make not only a useful citizen,
but an honest, unselfish member of society.
The story of Patsy" by Kate Douglas
Wiggin. is a beautiful exempt ification OF the
work done in the Silver Street Kindergarten.
After Patsy had soiourned here for awhile,
sickness and former negle:t claimed his
young life Just as he was breathing his last.
he gasped: 81 guess-heaven-is kind O. ike
our kindergarten. I've got enuf O. this. l
tell yer; but hate ter go way from the Kin
dergarten.'
The effect of Froebel's symbolic songs and
games are many. The words suggest
thought; the thought suggests gesture; the
gesture aids in producing the proper feeling;
the melody begets spiritual impressions, and
all unite in giving n sweet and gentle inter-
course, in developing love for labor, home,
country, associates. and dumb animals, and
in uncon.ciousy directing the intellectual
powers. Sidney Smith says: III you make
children happy now, you make them happy
twenty years hence by the memory of it,
1t has been asserted that no man or woman
who ever attended kindergarten in child
hood has ever been found in penitentiary.
The training is so thorough, beginning at the
very formative period OF the chIld's lie. that
it is irwoven into his very being. 1t has been
stated by prominent Western men that in the
kindergarten we must find the safeguards of
the country's future welfare.
Our attention has been vividly called to
this system by Witnessing the closing exer-
cises of Miss Anna Schmi.t's kindergarten.
We have noted the daily progress of very
young children in this school, and the
changes in very few weeks have been re-
markable. She manages a score OF little tots
with less trouble than the average mother
exerts in keeping even one youngster in tol-
erably decent order. And the beauty OF the
system is that the children have no idea that
they are learning, but consider i simply as
play. 1t is not, of course, intended to take
the place of the school, as little. if any, book
lore is permitted

A FOUR-FOOTED BIRD.

1t Sheds Its Extra Feet. However, Before II

That there are still numerous chances for
the indefatigable student and investigator to
make new discoveries may be judged from
the fact that the only known species of four
footed bird has been discovered only quite re-
Gently. says the s.. Lonis Republic
This curious anomaly. which could very
properly be styled an .'avIs paradoxalis," is a
native of the Amazon river country, its prin-
cipal habitat being the islands of Maraio. 1t
is only during the period of incubation Cat
which time the little enbryo's extra legs and
feet are seen at their best) and early birdhood
that the four-footed feature is at all observa-
bic. Like the baby frog, which either ''sheds''
or absorbs its tail. the four-iooted bird rids
Itself Of its useless legs in the same manner,
chicks six weeks OF age usually being per-
fectly free from any signs o. the extra MEM
hers. The ornithoiosists profess to believe
that this curious creature is q survival OF
some past geological epo;h. It's scientific
name is Opisthoeonus cristatus. The natives
call it the 'hoactzin.' whicn means the ''evil-
smelling bird It is also claimed thnt there

SECONDHAND TYRONE FOR SALE.

The Hawaiian incident is no doubt closed
now. The Senate by unanimous vote has
declared that of right it belongs wholly to
this people to establish and maintain their
own form of government.
The royalist party, if there remain enough
people loyal to the ey-queen to call it party,
will now be obliged 10 rely wholly on their
own resources in any demonstrations to
re-establish the monarchy. No effort in that
direction, however, is likely to take place,
and it is likely that the seeds of republican
government thus planted in the islands of the
Pacific will take deep root and spread to
other groups.
Thrones that fall nowadays are not easily
restored, and many such are tottering in all
parts of the world. Republican forms Of
government are the natural forms. until we
can reach the form of pure democracy, and
ultimately federation Of the world.

III Market Space.


Major NJ P. Handy in the Mail and Expresa1
Around dinner table in an uptown Rotea
a few days ago there gathered company Of
men representing to an unusual extent vari-
GUS sections of the country and shades Of
political opinion. The talk turning on the
probabilities as to the Republican presidential
ticket, was curious enough to poll the COM
pany as to their respective preferences, II they
had the naming of the ticket.
Three men from the middle West, one from
Colorado, and one from Philadelphia entered
Mckinley, and for the second place with him
Fassett. OF New York, Grant, of New York,
and Hastings, OF Pennsylvania, were sug-
gested. A wealthy New Yorker, who is In no
sense politician, entered Reed. Of Maine,
and Spooner, OF Wisconsin, as ticket .whicn
would rally all Republicans. An ex-diplomat
advocated Harrison and Saxton. Robert
Lincoln was urged by q southerner. An ex-
treme silver man asked that a note be made
Of the prediction that Don Cameron would
be in the running with the backing of bimet-
tellists generally. All avowed willingness to
support Reed, Mckinley, or Harrison, but
doubts we're advanced as to the availability Of
each OF them, and all declared that any man
Of pronounced and acknowledged leadership
was preferable to an experiment with dark
horse.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Nav 31.-The cross-cx-

up most Of the afternoon. developed nothing
additional and the court adjourned for the
day. The chief point in Lieutenant Nancy
testimony was the statement that it was only
after repeated trials against his life by Cap

that Captain Hadhury carried pistol! He
stated that Captain HedbUrc was the agsressor

CLOAK ROOM AND GALLERY.

Senator Sherman had some distinguished
listeners In the reserved gallery yesterday.
Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. Nellie Grant-Eartoris
and Mrs. Casey, wife Of the Montana Senator
sat together as interested auditors, and were
an object OF interest to the occupants OF the
! other galleries as well.

from the country trudged up to the Capitol
and entering under the dome began q critica
examination of the objects Of interest in that

PINK FEET AND PEBBLES.

An Amusing Story of Paderewski and the
Bootiess Babies of Yport.
When staying at Yport, says Woman at
Home, Paderewski took great delight in the
children on the sands there, and an amusing
incident happened in consequence OF his gen.
erosity. He had taken great fancy to one
little fellow, probably because he was moro
poorly clad than the others, and panied at
seeing the little pink feet biistered and chafed
by the pebbles and shells on the beach, he
took him to q boot shop and bought him a sery-
iceable pair OF boots. The next morning on
looking out OF our windows we were amazed
to see that the entire congregation OF shoeless
village children had assembled outside our
house. in order to solicit Paderewski's atten-
ton to their little bare feet

GENERAL RossER has not been heard from
for some time, but he frothed at the mouth on
Decoration Day in a manner that made even
his listeners disguised. 1t was on the occa-
sion of the monument unveiling at Rich
mend He is down on the payment OF PEN
sioners, and down on most anything else, ap-
parently, except Rosser. We might think
that he, 100. had not yet heard of the closing
of the war. but we are convinced that he does
know of it and is apparently much alarmed
lest it break out afresh. Don't be alarmed,
General; the earth do move as well as the
cup
