THE HERALD RI0HT ON HOPKINS.

Our esteemed contemporary the Her.
aid last Wednesday morning printed
the following juicy editorial giving rcn-
sons why John =. Hopkins Is not enti.
tied to retirement from office ut the
hands either Of his party or of the pub
lie:
because he has actually inaugurate1
elevation of the railroad tracks AMI
thus begun stopping slaughter of hu.
man beings ut surface grade crossings.
Because he has 30 reformed meth.
DDS In the city hall that the city pays
Its bills regularly ana does not compel
Its creditors to shave their accounts ut
cui bstOne broker shops.
because he increased the water sup.
ply and reduced the cost Of operating:
the water plant.
Because he has baked corrupt CON-
binatlons Of Aldermen In selling fran.
chiscs for their private profit.
"Because he has vetoed tricky Ordl.
nance designed to enable substitution
of electricity for cable motors, ana the
rigging of the heart Of the city with
u net of trolleys.
Because he has compelled surface
transportation company to agree to pay
5000 annually to the city Of Chicago
for enlarged privileges In Its streets.
because he has detached the police
department from politics"
Every word of the above Is true. I'll,
assertions cannot be denied; they ar,

THE FREE KINDERGARTEN.
IL Has Opened Up Wen and a Bright
success II Predicted for Its Work.


The prospects are that the free kinder
garten VIII meet with the success it de-
serves in organizing. and starting out
with the regular work which It proposes
10 undertake. The rooms which have
been secured at Price and ST. Julian
streets are in a convenient locality for
many Of the children who Will attend
the classes.
The kindergarten work is in charge of
Miss A. n. Robbins. bright litTle lady.
who came to Savannah from Boston,
where she has been studying for some
time She took right hold of the work
on her arrival here, and the first day the
kindergarten rooms We're opened had six
scholars though within a week the num-
Der was increased 10 twelty-three. Some
of these. however, were too old to enter
and Others We're too young. In all TWEEN
ty-four pupils can be accommodated at the
school. Each of the cases, however, will
be fully Investigated By Miss Robbins be-
fore the children are allowed to 90 on
the roll permanently, as il must be de-
termined that those who attend are in
need Of such charity. The ages between
which scholars are taken into the kim
dergarten is between and 6 years, though
If any pupil will reach the age of before
the end Of the term during which he or
she desires to enter they are not taken in.
As all the cases have not yet been in
vestigated, Miss Robbins has not yet
made up her roll, and cannot state yet
how many pupils she viii have. The
probability is, however that the num-
Der VIII reach the limit that can be ac-
commodated. The terms Of the kinder
garten will be the same those of the
public schools.
While the kindergarten does not at
tempt to prepare children in any Of the
elementary branches for entrance into
the public schools. the training which
they receive win necessarily make them
better scholars when they do enter the
schools. The programme of exercises be-
gins with prayer and kindergarten songs,
after which follow games and luncheon.
Then comes the work such as painting,
drawing. modelling in clay, counting. and
work of this nature which Is designed
to train and develop the senses, to slim
ulate observation and to teach an idea
Of form. This latter is a point which
is specially sought after as a training
Of the mind in the observation of form
and color is a feature of education, to
which, unfortunately, too little Atten-
ton is generally paid.
The ladies Of the Savannah Kinder
garten Association have taken the matter
actively and thoroughly in hand, and
they are going TO see that it is more
than an experiment There are ways
in which the institution can be supported
without often calling directly for char
ity, though there are many who are ever
ready to respond to so worthy an object
The entertainments they have given for
the benefit of this fund have all been
worthy in themselves of the public pat
roma ge they have received. and 1t is
probable that others will be given short
ly and that arrangements will be made
to thoroughly insure a continuance of
the good work

SUPERIOR COURT CRIMINALS.
The Trial of Felony Cases TO he Ia

TO-dny.

The Trial Of Felony Cases to he Ia
ken Up Before Judge FaIIigant
To-day.
The criminal business of the March term
Of the superior court will begin to-day. and
it will perhaps, take not only the entire
present month, but part Of next month
as wen. The criminal docket is quite
lengthy one. and will prove interesting If
the most important cases are gone into.
1t is hardly probable that all the cases
assigned for trial to-day will be disposed
Of Many of them are cases which went
over from last week, from one cause and
another. The cases assigned for trial to-
day are as follows; Israel Gallishaw,
charged with COW stealing Charles Mack,
charged with burglary; George Getty,
Josiah Jackson and William Jackson,
charged with the burglary Of a store at
Monteith some time last Christmas; Sam
Drayton and Charles jenkins, charged
with assault. with intent to murder; Joe
Singleton, charged with breaking and en-
tering a railroad car belonging TO the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad,
and George Smith, charged with robbery.
The murder cases have not yet been as
signed for trial The two most important.
those charged against Lem Davis and
William Schwarz are to be defended by
Mr.. + G.. duBignon, and as he has just
returned from the west Solicitor General
Fraser has not yet had an opportunity of
arranging dates with him for the trial of
these cases. The first of these cases has
already some over two terms, though that
of Schwarz could not have come up at
any term before this. These cases are be-
ing watched closely and are looked for to
come up for a hearing at this term, as
well as those of the other prisoners against
whom the crime of murder has been
charged by the indictment of the grand
jury. When the criminal business has
been disposed of, civil cases win be taken
up until May. when Judge Falligant and
Solicitor General Fraser will go out on
the circuit
