The Child's Mind.

Child instruction should In the first
instance proceed upon the principle
that the young mind Is an incalculable
possibility, and that schooling should
be of character to carry that posi-
bility just as far as may be toward its
realization, writes the Rev. Charles II.
Parkhurst, D. D., in the Ladies' Home
Journal. The child's mind is as thick
ly studded with Interrogation points
as the sky Is with stars. The primary
genius Of child is the genius for ask
Ing questions. There Is a natural affin-
lty between the mind and the truth
lnquisitiveness Is as natural to intelli-
gence as hunger is to the stomach. One
of the most common effects of current
schooling is to destroy that affinity. In.
tellectual stuffing in the nursery or IN
the schoolroom is worse and more wick.
ed than gluttony in the dining-room.
Children who commence going to
school when they are and continue at
1t until they are 16 hate knowledge a
good deal worse than they do sin, and If
they had the courage of their impuls-
and practice nihilism on their school
rooms and textbooks. The distinct
symptoms Of nihilism are discernible
in every schoolroom that has been used
for educational purposes more than six
months. This Intellectual demoraliza-
ton Of the schoolroom will pursue its
present course till teachers are select
ed who have enough Of the genius of
Froebel to understand that the mental
constitution Of the child Is itself de-
scriptve of the course to be followed in
its development, and that the proper
office Of school commissioners and
school committees is to help the teach
er carry out the intentions OF nature
rather than to compel him to embap
rass and controvert those intentions.

HWhat a WreckfF

At dinner-party at BowoOd. Canon
BOwles, then past sixty, was intro
duced to an elderly lady, with whom
he sat chatting pleasantly about
things of the day. Bow es was per-
tectly oblivious that this was the very
lady to whom he had heen engaged
to be married when he had very little
income besides his curacy. The lady,
of course, was per:ec-'y we'll aware
that she was talking to her quondam

no way enlightened rim as to her
personality. After time she said,

SMITH & NIXON SELL OUT.


There was a stir among the music dealers
yesterday when It became known that Mr..
George c. Pearson had bought out Smith
& Nixon. The sale was brought about by
Mr.. c. L Ament. 1t was preached Thurs
day and contaminated yesterday. This is
the third prominent establishment that Mr..
Pearson has bought out. The first was NJ.
A. Stowell, In 1881, and the second Charles
Soehner, in 1883. The sale includes two
hundred instruments and the valuable
agency or the Steinway piano, as well as
a large rental list. The cause of the sale is
that the Smith & Nixon company nave de-
cided to concentrate their energies in the
manufacture of Instruments, and not give
so much attention TO the retail department.
Mr.. Pearson will keep both stores for the
present, until the stock is reduced so that
he can place all the instruments in his own
rooms. All the employees OF the Smith &
Nixon company will be retained. The Smith
& Nixon mandatory is ffty-four years old.
and its output Is one thousand Smith q
Nixon and two thousand Martin pianos an
nually. By the new purchase Mr.. Pearson
will have the right OF sale OF nine makes of
pianos. His house is now the oldest in
the city, having a business life OF twenty
two years.

A NOTED MURDER CASE
RECALLED BY THE DEATH OF MRS.
GERADY NEAR LOGANsPoRT.
She Killed Her Husband, and After
Conviction Became Insane-sent
to q Hospital.

A local newspaper man recalls an inter-
esting circumstance In the death Of Mrs.
Caroline Gerady. the insane woman who
was killed by a Panhandle train near To-
gansport Tuesday morning. The woman be-
came insane while confined In prison for
murder.
Her victim was her husband, an old resi-
dent Of this city. Peter Gerady lived on
Olive street for about twenty years and
reared a family OF four children, John,
Mary, Anna and Peter, all OF whom are
now living here. Several years ago Mr..
Gerady's first wife died. and he sold his
Indianapolis property and went to Knox.
Shortly afterward he remarked, and about
Eve years ago was murdered. Suspicion
pointed to his wife and her daughter, and
they were arrested.
On the trial 1t developed that Mrs. Gerady
and her daughter had killed Mr.. Gerady
with a knife, and had then cut and bruised
him with an ak. Mrs. Gerady claimed that
her husband had come home and began to
abuse her. Finally he attacked her, and
she defended herself with a butcher knife.
Her daughter, VINO lived some distance
away, was present at the time, and went to
ued until the husband was driven or fol-
lowed the women into the back yard. FL
nally the daughter got an AK. and. assisted
by her mother. the two OF them completed
the work of murder.
They then left the place and went to the
home of the daughter. where they spent
ward that the dead body was found lying
IN the back yard.
Mrs. Gerady and her daughter were both
arrested, and about a year later were con-
victed and sent 70 the Woman's Prison in
this city. Mrs. Gerady remained here for
some time and was then declared insane.

INDIANIANS AT ST. LOUIS.
Thirty Rooms cur for Indiana
Delegation mt the Planters.

Secretary Seeds, of the Republican State
committee. who went to st. Louis to en-
gage rooms for the indian delegation,
returned yesterday. He says he secured
thirty rooms on the second floor OF the
Planters Hotel. with a large reception
room adjoining. He says there are already
indications that there will be probably a
larger crowd at the coming convention than
ever attended a similar gathering. In ad-
dition TO these rooms for the State delega-
ton many individuals have secured rooms
for the convention. The Planters House
viii be the Indiana headquarters, although
the fact that Mckinley and Reed lave both
engaged rooms at the Southern will Prob
ably make that house a center of the con-
vention crowd. The houses are only a block
apart, however. and there can be little more
interest at one than the other. Mr.. Seeds
thinks the people of St. Louis do not
fully appreciate the magnitude of undertake
ing to care for a convention that will NOM
mate a man for the presidency who will
have so little opposition as TO make the
nomination practically an election. Or ac-
count OF this circumstance there will be a
larger attendance at the convention thar
ever was known before.
