4 narrow sphere how can you call 1t soi
Three pairs Of baby eyes look up in mine,
And seem the gates through which light

Trsnshgures all my life with tenderest glow

And move you oil with pain or Joy ut will,
Because to learning shrine no gifts bring,
Nor take aforemost stand for woman's cause,
Because trust unquestioning the laws
That bring us snowin winter, birds In spring,
You think my life Is circumscribed and cold
In what should make 1t helpful rich and

For oil the loving duties that they hold.

For loveliest pictures every day l see

From waking morn till dreamy eventide

Imprison tints no artists brush has known;
The baby's deep blue eyes. that meet my

In living beauty mock oil painted light
Nor do you know, my friend, the critics bold
We story tellers In the children find
What store Of wisdom and Of wit combined
We need to point moral new or old.
And In reforms are we not learning late
A still, small voice need not be oil In vaini
These childish hands may bring the greater

Seeking In untried ways to take Its part

Since life for us no loftler aims can hold

The common and high schools have

In order that truths may be substitu-
ted for fallacies, true conception for
mis- conception, of the high educational
standard of his state. l shall candid
ly ask you for space in your valuable
and newsy paper, that may briefly
write upon those things that are sub
Iect to censure, disapprobation and the
object of contempt by many.
It is an established fact that among
those who come to our land from
foreign climes are to be found many
who are prejudiced against our institu-
tions of learning, in fact anything that
is Of any value, and nearly half a CEN
tury is srequired to effect the eradication
of those erroneous assumptions that
have found lodgment in their cerebral
portions. I should like to briefly call
the readers attention to the sys-
tenn of common, high and normal
schools, colleges and universities, the
seveCal grades of teachers certificates,
ETC., of this state:
The county grades are three in num-
Der, viz: first, second and third, the
successful candidate for third grade
must average 20 per cent. on nine
studies, for second grade must average
80 per cent upon eleven subjects, and
for first an average of so per cent on
eleven subjects is necessary, besides all
average of rs per cent upon four addi-
tional branches. If the grades of any
county or any state or province is
better, it would be humilating never
theless beneficial to hear of the fact.
Careful investigation of the state
school law, reveals to light, that there
still exists the state grades, viz: state
normal and state professional certifi-
Gates, the former valid for five years
and the latter for life. The number of
subjects that comprise the state grades
are subject to slight fluctuation, being
designated by the state superintendent
and the board Of directors of the state
normal schools, and range from thirty
to forty-hve different subjects, the nor
NAL school having in its curriculum
thirty-six and forty-two subjects, in
the three and four year courses respec.
lively, and an average Of rs per cent.
upon all must be made, awarding to Its
graduate a nor NAL school diploma,
which leads directly to n state certifl-
cate. Thus the reader will readily see
that the state grades fully atone for
any slight jnsutiiciency OF the county

MAY BE TROUBLE
On Account of Jockey Simms Driving
Horse to Death-The Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty Takes
the Matter Up,

London. June 2s.-If certain reports
turn out 10 be correct, and there seems
TO be no good reason for doubling them,
MIR. Richard Croker's colored jockey,
Willie Simms, is liable TO find himself
in the hottest kind OF hot water. as
cabled TO the Associated Press on Sat
urday last, Simms has been amusing
himself considerably az Newmarket,
and on Monday, June II, Gas the AssO-
ciated Press dispatches also exclusive
ly announced he wagered he would
drive a trotter from Newmarket 10
Cambridge and return within an hour,
a total distance OF twenty-six miles.
Simms started In sulky with COM
panion and made Cambridge in quick
time. But when nearing Newmarket
on the return trip the horse dropped
dead and ii Is probable that Simms will
be arrested and most severely punished
as result Of an investigation into the
affair which the officers of the Royal
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
to Animals BEGAN to-day. A special
officer Of the society was despatched 10
Newmarket this afternoon with instruc-
tons to thoroughly investigate the
story of Simms drive TO Cambridge.
and if the story of cruelty to the trotter
is proven, a warrant for the Jockeys
arrest Will be issued. The officer has
also been instructed to find out if the
companion of Simms in his drive was
Mr.. Croker himself, and II this should
turn out 70 be the case there may be
serious trouble in store for Mr.. Croker
as we'll as for Slmms The action of
the r. s. p. c. a. was due to Jerome K.
Jerome and Mr. Labouchere. The lat
ter says In Truth: After reading an
account of the performance, | expected
to announce that Simms had brought
an action for libel or had been fined the
heaviest penalty for such diabolical
conduct. No punishment is too bad for
a man who would fog a horse TO death
and I would cheerfully see Simms fog
ged along the high road and made to run
until he dropped dead.
Mr.. Labouchere's article concludes
with calling upon the R. s. P. G. A. to
thoroughly investigate the matter.
Mr.. Jerome in a newspaper to-day
writes that he had sent the details OF
the affair to the +. S. P, c. A., adding:
"Simms is half-cast who has come to
England for a pure gambling specula-
tion. He is employed by Messrs. Gro
ker and Dwyer, concerning whom it is
sufficient to remark that Mr.. Croker
was prominently connected with that
gang of rascality, Tammany Hall"
Mr.. Croker was not in London to-
day, but the representative Of the As
ISOLATED Press who was sent to inter-
view him on the subject, was informed
that the story was substantially true,
except that there was no cruelty to the
horse. 1t was added that the horse be-
longed to Mr.. Croker, was one Of the
last batch TO arrive from Lichfield, and
its death is attributed to lack Of condi-
ton, and not to over-driving upon the
part of Simms in the race against time
from Newmarket TO Cambridge and
back

OIL NEWS.

II was currently reported thursday
evening that the we'll at Colerain
would be shot yesterday, but for some
reason It was not. It is the intention,
however. TO shoot the well, but IL VIII
not be done for several days. The wen
still continues TO flow some gas. There
is q small showing of oil there and a
large amount of water. The water and
oil confines the gas and occasionally
the gas forces the water and oil out.
The well made a flow last evening, Dut
il did not amount to anything more
than formerly.
The Thompson & Co. well, on the Ell
lott farm. in the Steubenville field, was
shot Thursday and responded nicely.
There is no way to gauge the well, but
it is reliably estimated that 1t is dong
about 80 barrels day.
There is practically nothing beng
done in the Long Run district, IN Wet
eel county. There is no water there
and all the wells are shut down on than
account.

STILL MAINTAIN SILFNCR-

Washington, D. c.. June 2S.-The
treasury officials now in the city still
maintain perfect silence as to what, if
any notifications have been made in
the bond contract, or what, if any basis
there is for the rumor that the syndicate
will no longer use its influence to pro-
tect the government from gold with
drawals for export. The rumor, how
ever, is given no credence here by per-
sons having any knowledge Of the sit
uation. It is more than probable, it is
said, that the syndicate has obtained
permission from the Secretary to make
temporary deposits for domestic gold
which is subsequently to be replaced
by importations from London.
The exact facts in the case, however,
cannot. in the absence of Secretary Car
Isle, be learned here.
