Then came Il declaration of war between

Dean in the congregation, pointed the

arruign him for almost all the crimes in

minutes he poured out torrent of III

toned by name repeatedly and the paper
with winch he is connected
such rabid, imnoderate and ill-tem-
pergd address was probably never before
listened to in an American church and the
congregations by turns laughed and Kissed

McRae To his Presbytery, which complaint
was dismissed and Dean appealed to the

The p, W. & Il. II. X. Co. CieaninE-out
sale Attracts a Good Crowd of Buyers.
A. sale of unclaimed goods was held
at r., w. & b. freight station yesterday,
and for considerable time the Office at
Fourth and Pine streets was thronged
with people. Bidding was lively on
such articles as were open for public
inspection, but the crowd did not take
very well to spending much money on
sealed boxes and packages and those as
rule went for very little money.
Most Of the buyers took their pur-
chases away without opening them, and
consequently great deal of the usual
interest which has been attached TO the
annual sale in former years was lacking.
A number of curious people were dis.
appointed in not seeing what the scaled
boxes and packages contained.

School Attendance In Massachusetts and
Delaware.
In view of the earnest advocacy Of
compulsory education at this time, it is
important 20 know what effect compul-
sorry education laws have had on school
attendance in other States.
The advocates Of compulsory educa-
ton are ready and eager to express the
opinion that such laws have been, on
the whole, shining success, and they
can easily quote extracts from the re-
ports of school superintendent and the
like, indoraing the system in general
and very glowing terms. But figures,
bearing tho stamp Of accuracy and per-
tinent enough to base conclusions upon,
have beer scarce.
Il is generally claimed that compul-
capitalization has had its greatest sue
cess in America ia the New England
States, Advocates Of the system point
with pride to its WORKING in New Eng
land. ard particularly in thas greatest
aud most enlightened New England
State, Massachusetts.
