There is a wide field OF sugges-
ton opened in the recent move
ment Of the states Of Nicaragua,
San Salvador and Honduras for
federation. That it will in time
include the other states OF Guate-
mala and Costa Rica is hardly to
be doubted. This insures the final
cessation OF those revolutions that
have disturbed that wonderfully
rich country, preventing its in
crease in population and the de-
velopment Of its natural resources,
Once government there becomes
stable, and this federation is a
long stride in that direction, there
will be little trouble in in.

A Religion Imbued Negro Kills An
other In Columbus, Texas.
During revival meeting at
Columbus, Texas, Saturday night,
a Negro boy arose excitedly and
drawing revolver, exclaimed,
"This is the message Of st. Paul
to the Hebrews" and pointing
the weapon at the head Of another
colored boy, he fired, shooting the
boy through the head and killing
him instantly. He then gave the
pistol to the preacher, saying he
had done this deed because the
Lord had told him to.
He was promptly placed under
arrest. The affair caused great ex-
element among the heavy color,
ed population of Columbus.

SCHOOL ROOM WANTED.

There is scarcely large city IN
the country that is not turning
children away from the doors of
the public school on account of a
lack of school facilities. This is
bad for that general intelligence
that is the only safeguard of Re
publican institutions. This should
be remedied. Every state should
have compulsory school law, and
every scholar of school age within
the state should be compelled to
attend sessions for at least eight
months out of every year. Books
in these schools should befurniShed
by the state as we'll as instruction,
and parents and guardians fined
for the absence from the school
room of their children and wards,
unless they show that these are
receiving the instruction that the
state provides in other institu-
lions of learning. 1t is all
nonsence for the state to build
school houses and tax for the sup
port of schools, and then leave
to the carelessness and negligence
and cupidity or parents the ac-
ceptance or rejection of the bene-
fits thus offered their children.
Some children need protection
against their own parents. These
general remarks apply to Texas
and also to this city. There is not
room enough in the schools Of this
city for all the children who apply.
San Antonio cannot afford to let
this state of affairs continue. She
may be poor and in debt, but if
she had to increase that debt to
provide educational advantages
for the children it should be done.
The present generation may be
justified in leaving debt for the
next one to pay, or not, according
to circumstances, but no one will
deny the right to create such a
debt for another generation if that
generation is to be the re-
cipient of the benefits derived
from that debt creation. While
this is true, it is a sorry reflection
upon the cash, conscience, common
sense and competency of the pre-
sent generation to note that it cam
not, or will not, pay the legiti-
mate school bills of its children.
This is a state question. These
children, grown to men, will be
held accountable by the state for
an intelligence which the state
denied them the opportunity of
acquiring, as children. There is
no claim in equity that the state.
can press upon these children for
non compliance with laws which
the state has not given them the
ability to understand. 1t is a
question for the city as well as for
the state. This city is justly cele-
brated for the wise and liberal pro-
vision that is made for free educa.
ton, but its work will not be fully
done until the school form is ready
for every child of school age with
in the corporation limits.

NOVEL SURGICAL FEAT.
A Boy Removes Fishbone That Surgeons
Had vainly Worked Over For 80 Hours.

A Boy Removes q Fishbone That Surgeons
Had vainly Worked Over For SO Hours.
A novel feat in surgery has been per-
formed at Bridgeton. Mrs. Daniel Souders
swallowed a flshbone, and SO hours the
surgeons Of the place work. ithout sue
cess to remove it. She suffe great pain
and in that time lost about ., pounds in
weight.
Her case was given up as hopeless when
an idea In natural surgery occurred to her
son. He prepared a ball Of silk about the
size of large pea, with four ends several
inches in length attached. Mrs. Souders
then swallowed the pea, the silk ends be-
ing held by her son and doctor.
When the pea was well down, the men
began working at the threads in such a
manner as to cause the ball to turn in the
throat and to keep raising 1t slightly. Aft
er time the fishbone became fastened in
the ball and was Withdrawn from the
throat.
The son may never obtain patent for
his novel surgical instrument, but he has
the satisfaction Of having saved his moth
er's life through Its means, and that is
doubtless reward enough for him.-New
York Evening World.

Henry M. McDermott, an aged Brook
Ignite with tendency to go on periodical
jags Of more or less severity and duration,
married his fourth wife, Catharine, who
was many years his Junior on Nov. 12,
1894. Within month afterward he went
off on one of his sprees, and when 1t was
at it's height, on Dec. 81, he decided his
$12, 600 house to his bride. Early In Feb
ruary he again settled down into state
of sobriety. He also wished TO recall the
deed for the Union street house, and when
his wife refused to surrender it he began u
suit for its recovery, and the trial took
place few days since before Judge Os-
borne in Brooklyn.
McDermott swore that he never In his
sober moments had any intention to give
the house to his wife.

TEN YEARS OF BANK CLEARINGs.

During 1894 only IL out of 60 cities
showed increased clearings as com
pared with 1893. The decrease at New
York was % per cent, at Philadelphia
10 per cent, at Boston 8 per cent, Chi
cago only s per cent. New Orleans 13.4
per cent, Nashville 21.S per cent, anl
at Atlanta 6.S per cent
OF course the largest volume of bank
clearings in the United States was dur
ing 1892. at the time Of our greatest
prosperity under protection. In the fol-
lowing year, however, as soon as We
were threatened with free trade, the
bank clearings decreased by eight bill
lions Of dollars. and in the following
year 1894, there was a further decrease
of eight and a half billions of dollars,
making the total loss in the volume Of
trade transacted throughout the
try amount to $16.5OO, OOO, 900 less dug
in; 1894 than during 1892. According
to sections of the country the bank
cl .arings during each Of the past three

the head of Hurricane Island, some
few miles below Vicksburg. It was at
the time the navy was attempting to
run the Vicksburg batteries. A lieu
tenant of artillery, with a squad Of
men in charge of the boat, had been
left while they sent back to Red River
for assistance to raise the vessel. In
the meantime the joke was planned.
Who the originator was is not known,
but Admiral Porter received the
credit.
"A bogus ram was built. On an
enormous log raft was erected a super
structure hat resembled q terrible
ironclsd. Fence rails and boards were
used to make an imitation casemate
gunboat. Guns pro,ruded from the
ports, and pork barrels stacked high
served for chimneys. Underneath
them a hearth of earth had been made.
Fires were built of fuel which made
the blacklist smoke. Without engines,
gun or crew, this bugaboo was set
adrift q few miles above Vicksburg.
On came the monster Within an
hour it had reached the city. Clouds
of smoke rolled out Of its chimneys,
and as it was just breaking day, the
time when both anticipated an attack,
the Confederate sentries detected the
demon. There was q hurrying and
s%kurrying, but not q shot broke the
stiffness until the dummy had reached
a point-blank range. Vicksburg will
never be awakened by such another
noise. 1t lasted an hour. Shots
raked it and hulled it, but it still
tioated detiantly. At last the current
swept it nearer to the shore. Then
the beseigers read in rudely made
letters n side, 'Secesh sold ; on the
other side were the letters, 'Confeder-
ate States Mail Packet

artillery had warned the lieutenant in
charge of the I%ndianola that the hour
for action was at hand. In his imag-
ination the lieutenant saw gunboats
galore belching forth death and de-
struction. He would not permit the
enemy to recapture the Indlanola.
Hastily placing all the powder in the
turrets of the monitor he applied q
slow match and retreated. Only q few
moments elapsed and all that remained
above decks of the ironclad was a mass
of debris. About the time the dread
ed 'gunboat' came sailing by and ran
onto q sandbar q short distance below.
"The Indianola could have been
raised by the C~onfederates and would
have been a formidable vessel in their
hands had not the lieutenant been SO
nasty in destroying her. She was
armed with two 11-inch and two g.
inch columnbiads, two of which were
destroyed. The other two were re-
covered and taken up Red River
