BARNATOs CLERKS ON A STRIKE
The Kaffir King Said to BE Without
Clerical Assistants.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-An interesting
feature of the mining situation in Lon.
don is q strike in the Office of Barney
Barnato. A private cablegram received
in Wall street said that the "Kaffir
King" was at his wits ends to keep his
accounts straight. Some of the clerks
struck against overwork, incident to the
excited condition Of the market; others,
scions Of aristocratic families, went out
to show their resentment for the lord
mayor, who, in their opinion. lowered
the dignity of his high Office by giving
Barnato a reception in the mansion

TRAINING THE INDIVIDUAL
Know and Do" the End and Aim of
the New Education.
Prof. Hailman Tells What the Ideal Teach
ing of To-day Is-The kindergarten
Cited as an Example

w. ~ Hailman, superintendent OF Indian
Schools in the Bureau of Education. spoke
yesterday morning in DR.. Kent's place at
the Peoples Church, on THE new educa-
tion.''
THE new education may seem mis-
nomer to those vino believe there is moth
ing new under the SUM- he said ITO me
it seems that there is nothing old under
the sun. Every day, every pursuit. based
on truth and earnest endeayor brings new
work Never in the morning are the con
ditions OF life the same as ON the evening
before. Education must be new if it is
to be a true education.
The new education is more rational
and less traditional than tie Old The
faults OF the old education linger in the new
and its very virtues linger often as faults
To be gradually eliminated.
II was the purpose OF the old education
to make the youth as much as possible
like the thing taught; the thing approved
by conyentionalism. To-day the purpose
is to develop a full human being in the
direction of lis own powers. Education
must be not in traditions alone, but in
the way of actual ideal living.
ne kindergarten IS the BEST indication
Of what the new education is TO be
The kindergarten life is the best life the
child can live. kindergarten teaching
is based not on accumulated formula
beaped up i'll books and In the memory
of man, but on actual personal expert
ence. This transforms education
The ancients said See Naples and
die Know and die was the old educa
tion. Know and do is the new. It is
simply an effort to make Christianity

The old education taught seIf-preser-

BrsnARcK,s FoUR-scoRE YEARS.

Bismarck is eighty years old today. A
unified country is doing him honor. He
stands now the idol OF the younger Ger
many. as he has been for years the adora-
tion Of the older Fatlerland.
Born in 1915. his life spans nearly the
entire century. AS he came into the world
the hundred days were rushing TO close;
Napoleon was preparing for his Waterloo,
and Prussia was almost the weakest Of the.
Rhineland States To-day he sees Prus-
sia st the head OF the strongest empire in
Europe, and knows that it was largely
due 10 him that this is so.
Germany owes much to Bismarck, and

ALL LONG FOR PEKIN.
Chinese Diplomats Never So Happy as
When Living There.


Charles DENLY. jr., secretary of the
United states legation at Pekin, China
who is now in this city. expects TO return
to China IN a short tine. Mr.. DENLY had
spent ten years in the Orient before coming
home. and is thoroughly familiar with Chi

perfectly
Mr.. DENLY was asked if the Cinnamon
sent abroad as ministers and attaches OF
legations did not dislike to return home,
where they would have none of the modern
Improvements which they found in foreign
countries. He says that, on the contrary,
they always want to get back.

waterworks, gas, or electricity, and vet
everybody likes to live there. this being es-
pecially true of the Chinanan Pekin has
but an imperfect sewage system, and the
sanitary conditions are very bad yet there
is little disease there. Pekin is NJ the same
time one of the dirtiest and healthiest cities
in the world
in striking contrast is Toxic, Japan,
where there are waterworks, gas. elec-
Iicity, and modern Improvements, with
good sanitation, Yet which has frequent
cholera epidemics and is far from being
healthful. In time there is little doubt
that the advantages that go to make up
a progressive city will gain foothold in
Pekin. but at present there is little inclina-
ton for change"

POLITE BRASS DISPLAYED.


The unkindest cut of all comes now and
then from our friends whom we fondly, but
delusively think we have hoodwinked to
perfection The inconsistencies OF human
nature thus brought play and the amount
of polite brass displayed by the very persons
whom we have cndeavored to make cats
paws of, furnishes abundant, material for
interesting thought and speculation as to
the lengths TO which human nature can go
in such cases.
There is young matron in Washington
who has been giving this matter some deep
and wordy thought since she found herself

in the persons of her husband, father, and

The Biggest Capital.

Great as have been the advances of COM
merce aud finance in our own time, no other
financial institution can properly compare
with the Bank OF England Its capital of
4,553. 900 pounds, with the addition of
its rest or reserve fund of 5000, 900 pounds,
exceeds the united capital of the state
banks OF France and Germany, and is
nearly equal to the entire paid-up capital

The parlors of the Y NJ C. A, on New

the literary society of the Association, to
honor an old member of the society who is
about to leave their midst.
Mr.. William P Freeman, one of the
original founders of the literary society,
and for a long time editor of the Y NJ
G. A. Journal, will leave Washington this
week for Maine where he Will accept the
position of managing editor of the Bidde-
ford Times.
President W H Weston, of the society on
behalf of its members, delivered an elo-
quent address of congratulation and wishes
for success, to which Mr. Freeman re-
sponded, stating his regrets and sorrow at
having TO leave SO many warm friends.
Other speeches were made by NJ. N.
Weston, L. G. Williamson. F. E. Tasker,
F. Bray, George w. Bray, W. P. William
son, W. Watson, j. E. Pugh and o. N.

A handsome silver ink stand was pre-

NO WAR For us.

The jingo element Of every government
is a detrinlent 10 commercial prosperity.
War is destructive TO business interests
and rmnous to all who engage in it. 1t is
the one factor that tears down faster Than
civilization can build. and jingo editors
and statesmen who advocate cali to arms
at every little provocation are enemies TO
peace and prosperity.
Especially is this true Of jingoism in the
United States This country has nothing 10

war Our best interests can only thrive in
a time OF peace We are not a warlike
people. hut in art, mechanics, agriculture,
and commerce, no nation stands so high.
Il is considered patriotic by some If a
warIike manifesto is promulgated because
an impudent American d3sobeyed the law
OF another country and is punished. Others
rejoice at the prospect OF hostility and
thunder threats if a foreign cruiser, by
mistake. fires at an American vessel. But
what are these trifles compared to the
consequences of war? Surely, il is al

II now looks as if war was imminent in
Europe. II so, it is the misfortune of
the countries involved, and it should be
turned to an advantage to US. Our farmers
need the markets war would open; our
factories could supply the increased de-
mand for their products; our ships would
thrive from the call for transportation,
and our merchants wonld prosper through

RARE BITS oF FuRNlTuRE.

Mrs Bissell and Mrs Carlisle have some
handsome bits of old fashioned furniture
in their houses, which they have secured
from time to time whenever they have
CHANGED across such things for sale.
When Mrs. Rssell first came 10 Wash
ington it was her desire to have one of the
rooms in her h street house furnished
entirely with old-fashoned furniture, and
to this end she made frequent trips. in com
pany with several of the ladies of the Cab
met and other friends, to Alexandria.
Comparatively few things were secured in
this way, however, and at last after many
efforts. Mrs. BisSell abandoned the idea of
securing the old-fashioned things and had
her house furnished entirely in a modern
manner
