there is no better early preparation for
a professional career Of any kind than
that given in the public schools Of our
burger cities.

course, ! would have him take the usual
academic course involved in prepara-
ton for eur larger colleges. giving more

this peaiod Of young mans education
is decidedly mere the training Of the
mind than instruction, and for that rea-
son il matters less what the boy learns
than the habits Of thought which are
inoulcated at this time.

The Fight which Is To Come.

The fate Of the civilized world had
always hung upon the strength Of the
Aryan nations to repel the attempts of
Asiaties to force their way into Europe
and to food the western world with
oriental ideas and habits, modes of gov
eminent and forms of religion. The
struggles of Greece with Persia and of
Rome with Carthage, the struggles of
Greeks, Romans and Teutons with the
Saracens; the conflicts, extending TO our
own times. with the Turks, were but so
many acts in one long drama, of which
the earliest scenes are TO be found in the

BALTIMORE, Nov. 5.-The heaviest

to-day and it was characterized by vio-
lence and disorder throughout, so
much so that Mr.. Williams, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor, and Mr..
Hurst, the Democratic Gubernatorial
candidate, We're appealed to. Their
combined efforts to restore something
like order were Statutory. The disturb
ance, however, called forth a protest
against the slipshod methods of the
police department. Several arrests
We're made. An occasional shot was
fred. Ballot boxes were smashed and
registration books torn to bits. The
day closed, however, without political
death record.

the vote Will remain substantially as il
was last year, except that the POpulist
vote for Lawrence for Governor will cut

year and half. has been exploring the
wilds of Eastern Africa, and at the sam Q
time puts an end to tho doubt as to his
safety which had been felt by those inter

months.
DR.. Smith entered Africa on the eastern
coast about at the third degree OF north
latitude, a year ago last June, TO push
across the country OF Gallreas and Mas
sal to two lakes which have been recently
discovered by another expedition. and
thence on to the NyanZas, his object be-
ing to carry out and complete the line OF
exploration from tho lakes to the east
coast, q distance of several hundred
miles. DR.. Smith was accompanied by
about ono hundred and fifty Africans
and at first by an Englishman, who was
subsequently obliged TO return to Lon
don.
DIR. Smith sent back some fine speci-
mems of the regions flora, after he had
been on his expedition few months,

KENTUCKY.

LOUISVILLE (Ky), Nov. 5.-The ex-
citing campaign in Kentucky was fol-
lowed to-day by quiet election. The
polls closed at O'Clock, but the blanket
Australian ballOt.with unusual scratch
ing, makes the counting very slow and
at 10 o'clock there are not enough re-
turns from the State or from the City
of Louisville to base an estimate on.
@'he Democrats claim the election of p
x. Hardin for Governor by 23,000 plu-
rality The Republicans claim the cleo
ticn of Bradley by a small plurality. but
give no estimates.
At midnight Chairman Norman of the
Democratic State Committee lowers his
estimate of Hardins plurality, but still
claims his election by a safe plurality
Returns from about half the precincts
in Louisville indicate that the city will
give a Republican plurality of about
i 900 on the municipal ticket and prob
ably larger plurality for Bradley.
LOUISVILLE (Ky9, Nov 5.-Chair-
man Hunter of the Republican State
Committee sent out a bulletin al mid
night saying: Republicans have car
Iied Kentucky by $4,000 plurality; city
Of Louisville by 5000, and every legis-
lative precinct in Louisville. Legisla-
ture very close, but chances in favor OF
Republicans"
The returns so far received from the
State show that Hardin has run with
the ticket and in a few counties ahead
Of it, and if this ratio continues his cleo
ton is assured.
Some counties in the eastern part of
the State show small Republican gains
as compared with the vote for Presi-
dent in 1892.
In Louisville Hardin is believed to
have been scratched less than was ex-
pected, but Bradley probably carries

ont Of seven School Trustees and will

No returns have been received in re-
gard to the election of members of the

nearly every district, even in portions

holds of Democracy. John W. Griggs,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, has been elected by surpris-
ingly large plurality, probably by about
1000. Five of the seven new state
Senators are Republican, and in the
Assembly the Democrats have lost
much ground. While New Jersey has
had Republican Senate and Assembly
more than once of late, Griggs is the
first successful candidate for Governor
in years, and his election is regarded as
an important index of the National bal
lot next year.

mated that Griggs (Republican) carries

''The Press Club of Chicago desires to

done. Field had completed the work
Shakespeare had begun. In his prose
