and eloped with her after her father had
forbidden her to receive his attentions
Then began career of crime the enor-
nifty of which was only revealed short
time ago when one William J. Daniels
an accomplice, was arrested It seems that
young Folsom had mortgaged all his prop.
erty several times over, had forged numer-
Gus notes and had committed arson and
even attempted murder in order to cover
his tracks.
Daniels broke down under arrest, and
in his formal deposition charged Folsom
with having planned with Daniels the as
sassination of j. o. Sebring, a lawyer. 1t
was arranged that Daniels should go to
Sebcing in the night, tell him that Folsom
was In trouble and wanted him. On the
way to Folsom's house Daniels and Haz-
ard were to wsylay Sehring and murder
him. Then they were to take the keys
from his pockets go to his Office, secure
papers that Folsom wanted destroyed and
set fire to the building which also would
burn the clerks Office, in which were the
other documents Folsom wanted de-
stroyed.
planned with him to waylay H. G. Aims
worth, the banker, on his way home, rifle
his pocket, of the bank keys and then go
and rob the bank. Daniels said that his
heart had failed him in this, as 1t had in
the case of Sebring, and that he had gone
and warned Mr.. Ainsworth of the plot to
murder him.
Still another plot to which Daniels de-
posed was one to waylay and murder Mr..
Hunt, the justice Of the peace whose of
flee was In that Of Sebring, take from him
the keys and get the papers Folsom was
so anxious to destroy.
On another occasion, Daniels testified,
1t was planned to lure Sebring to Folsom's
warehouse and there murder him. Sebring,
as matter of fact, went to the warehouse,
in accordance with the plot and was led by
Folsom to remote part of the building,
but neither Daniels nor Hazard would at
tack him.
AS to the train wrecking, Daniels swore
that Folsom had gone to Corning on pur-
pose to come back on the train with
heavy accident insurance ticket in his
pocket; that Daniels and Hazard were to
throw the train from the track, and that
shortly after the accident occurred, and
when all the people of the town were away
on the scene, the Halsey block was to be
fired and those records which Folsom SO
much wanted out Of the way at last de-
stroyed. Extraordinary as this story was,
It was fully confirmed in important par
ticulars by other witnesses.
When Folsom was arrested, he tried to
cut his throat, but the wound was not Sc.
rious. He now reposes in the county jail
at Bath, while his heartbroken wife has
returned to her wronged and indignant
father.

THE NEW EDUCATION.
How 1t Differs from tho Book Learning
Of Our Forefathers.

Of Our Forefathers.
The most careless observer cannot fail to
note the changes In educational methods
which have been Introduced in recent
times and In divers phases of education
the kindergarten, industrial education,
manual training, out of door classes in
botany and geology, laboratory work and
seminary methods in the higher courses.
The most careless observer may not, how
ever, realize that these new methods are
all parts of symmetrical whole, different
phases of that new education which isquite
as characteristic of our time as the new
science or the new theology.
The traditional education aimed to give
information. 1t treated the mind as a re-
ceptacle and knowledge as the material
with which the before empty receptacle
was to be filled. And as information is
for the most part contained in books, the
old education was bookish. 1t began with
the alphabet it proceeded by means of
text books; its aim was to give the student
what those text books contained; it ex-
amined him only or chiefly to ascertain
whether he had possessed himself of their
contents.
Under this system the papil studied bot
any without looking at flower, geology
without examining q rock, astronomy with
out inspecting the stars, navigation with
out going on board ship, surveying without
going out of doors, chemistry without
seeing retort.
The new education differs from the old
education, not in method merely or mainly,
but in purpose. Its object is to give, not
information, but power. 1t does not begin
with the alphabet. Its first object is, not
to teach its pupil to read, but to observe
and to do. Therefore the kindergarten.
1t does not proceed by means of the text
book. 1t uses the text book as little as
possible; sets its pupils to study things,
rot the literary conception of things.
Therefore the laboratory and the out of
door experimental classes in natural
science. 1t seeks to train the will no Jess
than the intellect; to endow its pupils
with power to do as well as to think.
Therefore the manual and industrial
classes, and the gymnastic and military
drill
1t seeks to develop the affections and the
emotions-faith, hope, love, reverence, con-
science. Hence it demands in the schools
literature; not mere philosophy, but litera-
ture. Hence too, it demands religion, not
for the sake Of dry as dust catechisms and
theologies, but for the sake of that deep
sense of righteousness, that clear sense of
the invisible, that appreciation of the sub
lime, the venerable, the divine, which con-
stitutes the essence of religion because it
constitutes the essence of life. e.-Christian

Jones irrelevantly.

have it, for am getting my Sunday school
report ready"
Pm busy" called Mrs. Jones; "look in

A half hour later Mrs. Jones came down
stairs and found Mr.. Jones still buried
deep in Webster's ponderous tome.

mo, Maria, and no wonder. 1t isn't in
the dictionary only wanted to see if it
was spelled with an a. or an 'e' in the Sec
ond syllable, but have to risk it, for there
is no such word here"
Nonsense" said Mrs. Jones sharply.
"Give me the book; I'll soon find it."
But tell you it isn't there. l have
gone right through the KS and it isn't in
it,"
Then Mrs. Jones laughed loud and long.
Didn't you find it under the head of
K-a-tS" she gasped.
II don't see anything funny about it,"
retorted Jones sulkily.
Don't you? Suppose you look in the
Cats, Mr.. Jones. think you need to GO
to spelling school as much as anything"
But Jones was mad clear through and
shut up the book with bang. Detroit

SO many in number that the returns are
not even now all in--this is the wake of
desolation and yillainy which Edward II.
Folsom has left behind him in the town
of Hammondsport, N. Y, where he was
born and reared.
The elder Folsom, who, according to
correspondent of the New York World, has
been worried and driven out of his mind by
his sons villainy, lived all his life on farm
close in touch with bAammondsport and tho
boy Edward had more than the ordinary
educational advantages of farmers son.
He not only went to the Hammondsport
public schools, but his father also sent
him for time to an excellent college
down near Penn Yan. In the village of
Hammondsport the doors Of the best fam
lilies were open to him. A year ago last
December, in company with another youth
named Benham, Folsom opened small
grocery store. Folsom raised his share of
the money through the kindness of his
father. The old gentleman, who had
boundless confidence in him, made over to
him a little place the old man owned.
With that in his possession Edward mort
gagged it and so raised the money to start
the grocery business. The grocery business
thriyed. The firm made money from the
start. The sanguine Folsom in particular
was enthusiastic. He had handsome
person, and his first use Of the unwonted
flow of money into his pockets was to de-
vote large portion of it to costly raiment
and fine linen He became quite dazzling
Beau Brummel in the village streets.
He went in for horses and bought and
exchanged them right and left He talked
of vast enterprises that he was going to
put through. He clearly had gathered the
impression that he was a Napoleon of
finance. To put it in Il word, tbe little
success he made at the start in the grocery
business quite turned the boys head and
filled it with who knows what fantastic
visions of oriental splendor

Five Hundred Illegal Divorces.

The supreme court of Oklahoma has de-
cided that under the present statutes of the
territory probate judges had no authority
to grant divorces, and that all divorces
granted by any probate judge in the ter
ritory since Aug, IA, 1898, were null and
void. This decision is farreaching one
and will cause a sensation all over the
country, for within the specified time fully
800 divorces have been granted in the ter
ritory by probate judges. A large majority
of the persons so divorced have since re-
married. They came from every state in
the Union to take advantage of Oklaho-
mas liberal divorce enactments and are
now left in queer prcdicament They
will at once appeal the case to che su-
premc court Of the United States and at
tempt to get the territorial supreme court
decision reversed. The decision does not
affect the divorce law of the territory in
any way beyond the fact that all divorces
must be granted by the district courts.

Too Much.

/ do not personally remember anything
comical happening to me when reading the
churching service; but we have probably
all of us heard of the parish clerk who was
SO much shocked at hearing the curate de.
scribe the titled wife Of the great man OF
the parish as this woman" He knew his
manners better, and promptly replied,
"Who putteth her ladyship's trust in
thee"
My fellow curate at London church,
where fee of eighteen pence was charged
for the use Of the churching service, once
told me that poor woman, hearing of the
charge, and alluding to the brevity Of the
service, replied; "Whatl Eighteen pence
for that bit, It's an imposition. Read
some more. "-Cornhill Magazine.
