says, has allowed himself, on more than
one occasion recently, to use language
which is at least capable of being misun-
derstood. While the Globe does not be-

utterances, it is said, are assuredly not
such as to further peace.

THAT BIG OR|NOCO GRANT.

Venezuela Encourages Americans
In Securing Products of
Great Value.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April 5.-A
representative of the Journal who visited
Mayor Grant of Faribault, Mimi, TODAY.
obtained interesting information about the
treaty concessions about the mouth of the
Orinoco in Venezuela which Mr.. Grant and
his associates have secured. Mr., Grant
denies with considerable vigor the asser-
tons made in Washington that the con-
cession is in any way involved in the
international complications between Ven
ezuela and England. Nearly all of the
land which is granted to the syndicate to
be improved and colonized has always
belonged to Venezuela and has never been
claimed by England. Mr.. Grant admitted.

cession had been settled on by the English,
but il was the least valuable and no trouble
would arise out of the fact. He adds that
the concession is really eleven years old.

1884, who has been interested in it with
Austin Corbin.
After some work had been done in i'm
proving the privileges granted the revolu-
ton broke out which finally put Crespo in
power and nothing was done. The trip
which Mr.. Grant, with Bowman and w. II,
Fisher, has just taken was to have the con-
cession confirmed and the divergent inter-
ests harmonized. In this they were
successful and expect to improve their
privileges, if the talk about international
complications or war with England does
not interfere.
The concession includes valuable iron
mines, great forests of mahogany. rose
wood, and an island at the mouth of the
orinoco, in which there are valuable as
phalt wells. 1t is also believed that there
is gold in paying quantities. The yene-
zuelan Congress adjourns June Is, and Mr..
Grant expects to go there again before that
date to close up the negotiations.

develop the ability to draw SIS a means OF ex-
pressing ideas. 1t is practical means of ex-
preston that can be constantly used in null
ideas by writing though the writing be crude,
and so to express ideas by drawing it is not
necessary TO be an accomplished artist. With
q fair ability TO draw one can often explain to
q dressmaker or carpenter how thing is to be
made for instance. by little sketch better
than by any amount of telling.
Then drawing should be taught so as to
quicken observation. 1t can give mental
power and it should cultivate the taste. The
instruction in the public school should be
general and aimed at developing the child's
own power TO do something with pencil, not
merely to initiate while a teacher stands near
him. This gives the groundwork for special
training in either industrial or freehand draw
ing, and that should be specially given. Next
year my work would be more directed toward
industrial drawing than this year.

THREE RAILROAD WRECKS,
Eight Men Are Instantly Killed
and Others Fatally In
jured.
In Two of the Disasters Cars Were
Dumped Into a Deep
RaVine.

ALTON, Ill, April ga fearful wreck
occurred this morning at the Wood-river
bridge on the Chicago and Alton cutoff,
about half-mile north of East Alton. a
long, heavy freight train was coming down
the grade when the middle of the train
bnlged out and fifteen cars were piled on
top Of each other. Four men were killed
outright, and two fatally injured.
None OF them are known, but they are
supposed to be tranps who were stealing
a ride. The injured men were brought to
the hospital in this city. An inquest was
held at East Alton.
The wreck was caused by the train being
too heavily loaded behind. When the
brakes were put on the front cars the
weight behind was thrown on the fat car
in the middle of the train, crushing it to
atoms and wrecking the other cars.
On the train were sixty laborers, most
of whom had just quit work on the drain
age canal near Chicago. The accident oc-

The work which botanists have done, and
that which they are to-day doing, has received
seant enough recognition from the people, and
yet it is most important branch of natural
science. And from the very remotest antiquity
il seems TO have been studied more or less
Holy Writ is authority for the statement that
King Solomon "spake of the trees, from the
cedar tree that is in Lebanon, even unto the
hyssop that springeth out OF the WALL; but
perhaps the earliest preserved botanic notes
are those of Aristotle and his successor,
Theophrastus. These cover the era B. c. $50
TO B. C. 800, and from that time right down TO
to-day the study has never been entirely
neglected.
The proper scope of botany is admitted to be,
not only the naming and arrangement of the
entire vegetable productions of the globe, but
also the consideration of the external forms Of
plants; of their anatomical structure, however
minute; of the functions which they perform;
of their distribution over the globe at the pres
ent and at former epochs, and OF the uses to
which they are subservient. This later phase
of the subject is the one in which the populace
is principally interested ana to which, all
things being considered, most attention has
been given. 1t treats as clearly about the adj
visibility of eating potatoes as about the in
advisability of smoking opium. 1t is this
phase of botanic study which has given TO Us
number of purely vegetable remedies which
are as much valued as gold itself, and in the
worlds economy some of them are more neces-
sary than is the most precious metal. Califor-
mia abounds in vegetable remedies, and when
the very choicest and effective are combined,
as they are in the height of perfection in joys
vegetable Sarsaparilla, and as they are in no
other home remedy, then we have a botanic
production that is actually priceless.

SCHOOL MA ANS AND ART
Teachers Say That Too Much
Time Is Given to
Drawing.
THE PRESENT SCHOOL FAD.
Nine Hundred Teachers Discuss
Miss Ball and Her
Methods.

The teachers of the city had big time
yesterday afternoon over the teaching of
drawing in the public schools according to
the system and method of Miss Ball. the
special teacher of that art. They al got
together at the Lincoln and Webster
schools at o'clock, and after long discus
slons expressed their finding of judgments
by vote. They were generally in favor of
good deal of trimming.
This gathering, which was called a
special institute, so that absentees would
be fined, was one of the EXAMINATIONS of a
long and somewhat restless agitation.
Prior TO the present school year drawing
was always down in the course of study,
but teachers taught it or not according to
their ability to do so, and when they did
teach it they generally followed their own
ideas and methods.
When Miss Ball came here about year
ago as the agent of the Prangs and that
firms system of drawing she was engaged
