Modern Criticism,

A small but sturdy boy Of 5 years
was lately entered as pupil at one Of
the best flu de steele suburban kinder
cartons. Evidently, however, the young
man had his own opinion Of what a
"schcol' ought to be, probably based
on his observance Of tho studies of his
two older brothers, one of whom is in a
preparatory school and the other in col
lege, as be seemed to feel quito degrad-
ed at belonging to school where no
books were used.
His little air Of apology when you
drew from him, most unwilling]y, &C.
counts of the games and exercises at his
kindergarten was something quite too
funny. The other day on his way home
he met crowd Of public school chill
dren and was hailed with shouts Of
"Hello, Ted! Do you go to school here?"
NO." replied Ted, with fine con-
tempt for his alma mater. Il go to
school where you don't learn anything. !"

SEES A LACK OF HARMONY.

The Sultan Known to Believe the Pow
ers Arc Not Acting in Concert.
CoNsTANT1NoPLE, via Sofia, Bulgaria,
Dec 1T has not yet been conclusively
developed here what is to be the effect
on the disordered state of the empire Of
the REIMBURSEMENT temporarily, at
least, Of the purpose of the powers to in
troduce additional guardships into the
Dardanelles for the protection Of for.
eigners in the domains of the sultan.
The ordering back to Salonica bay Of
the British gunboat Dryad, which had
been ordered up the Dardanelles at the
request of the British ambassador, Sir
Philip Currie, in anticipation of the
promised granting Of the frmans by the
sultan for warships to pass through, is
officially explained on the ground that
the proposed action would do more
harm than good by infaming the
fanaticism of the Turks against for
eigners on account Of the supposed
affront to the sultan by what would, i'll
affect, have amounted to a naval DEM
onstration against Constantinople. The
effect Of the Abandonment of its pur-
pose by Great Britain OH the situation
in Turkey is awaited with anxiety and
great interest. The question Of guard
ships seems
At StandstiA For the Present,
though the threat of Sir Phillip Currie
to renew his purpose unless foreigners
should be exempt from outrage is still
open.
Undoubtedly one effect Of the order
ing back of the Dryad to Salonica is
that the belief in the often alleged con-
cert in the powers in their attitude to-
wards Turkey is waning. The sultan
is known to have been skeptical as to
this concert for some time past, and, it
is said, has based his long continued op-
position to Great Britain's demands
upon belief that no such CONCERT ex-
listed or that it could not endure for any
length of time. This belief cannot but
have been in part confirmed by Great
Britain's withdrawal of her demand
after it had been so strenuously pressed
to the very verge Of a crisis.
Whether Great Britain is Influenced
by the alleged danger to foreigners
from fanatical Turks which would ell.
sue upon the proposed demonstration,
or whether she has learned to doubt the
approval Of her action which might be
accorded by the other powers, is there
fore a question asked on all sides.

DISRUPTION OF CANADA.

Movement In Winnipeg in Favor of Sc
cession From the Federation.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-A special from
Winnipeg, Man., says: Exciting events
ere impending in Canada. Within a
month parliament awill be summoned
to pass remedial order directing the
Manitoba government to restore to the
Roman Catholics their parochial
schools. Then will come the climax to
long, bitter warfare-a climax that
May Disrupt the Confederation
of Canadian provinces. To all entreat-
les for compromise to avoid trouble, it
is said, Premier Greenway turns deaf
ear, and it is evident that if the domin-
ion authorities restore Roman Catholic
schools in this country, they can only
do so by force. In Winnipeg there is
said to be a growing movement i'll favor
of secession from the dominion, which
in reality means the starting of crown
colony entirely independent Of Ottawa
authority, but it is certain that Pre-
nlier Greenway and those back Of him
will bitterly resist to the utmost the
restoration of Roman Catholic schools.
The premier does not qualify his asser-
tons i'll this regard.

The Cellars of Bordeaux.

The cobwebs will seem to an impress
sionahle visitor the noblest things in the
Bordeaux cellars. Some of them look
like thick pile curtains, somber in hue
of course, but famously suggestive of
warmth. And with even only moder-
ate imagination one may go to and fro
among the barrels fancying tho pendent
shapes overhead are dusly stalactites in
stead of the airy next to nothing as they
really are. If you hold your candle high
enough, you may shrivel few yards of

Editor wilfn,ar Tribune: -
The busy season is about over now

But. but the price of our grain is
so low. -.
We'll, you know we farmers are
a set of discontinued fools, and the
reason we do not prosper in these
good times is because we do not prac-

One ofmy neighbors tried to pay off
his arrears on his so-called local po-
tato advocator, but found to his sur
prise that they were nearly worthless.
Another of my co-farmers has a field

free of charge, and there are some
fourteen acres left to freeze down un-
less some potato clamorer dig them

Punishments In Early Days.

The following extracts from early res
ords give us glimpse Of some Of the
singular punishments in vogue in old
New England:
"In 1889 Dorothy Brown, for beating
her husband, is ordered to be bound and
chained to a post.
"In 1913 the assistants order three
Stoneham men to sit in the stocks on
lecture day for travelling on the Sab,
bath. -
"In 1861 Anna, wife Of George Ellis,
was sentenced to be publicly whipped
for 1eproaching the magistrates.
'*In 1868, for slandering the elders,
she had cleft stick put on her tongue
for half an hour.''

CHlLDS INTERVIEWS
MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL
GETS INTO THE PEARsALL CASE.

He Declined to Do So When the Case
Was on Trial Before Judge Sanborn,
hut Now Appears on the Appeal by
Consent of All Parties.
ST.. PAUL, Nov. 29.-Attorney General
Oh Ids has interviewed on behalf of the
state in the appeal Of the injunction
Duit of Thomas w. Pearsall against the
Great Northern Railway company.
This is the case in which Mr.. Pearsall,
stakeholder in the Great Northern,
applied to the United States court for
an injunction to prevent that. company
from consolidating with the Northern
Pacific. When the hearing came up
before Judge Sanborn, General Childs
was given an opportunity to intervene
on behalf Of the state, but he declined
to do 50. The case was decided by
Judge Sanborn in favor Of the company.
General Childs then, on behalf of the
state, began action of similar ma
ture in the district court, and a few
days ago Judge Kelly granted the in
junction asked for, his decision being
directly contradictory of that of Judge
Sanborn. Mr.. Pearsall has taken an
appeal f ,m the decision of Judge SAM
born to the supreme court Of the United
States, and by consent of all parties to
the record, General Childs has been
allowed to intervene. He has accord
ingly prepared a brief, a copy of which
was furnished to the
Various Parties Interested.
In his brief General Childs reviews the
act of tho legislature granting the orig
inal charter Oh the terms of which the
company claims the right to consoli-
date. He also reviews the various sue
ceeding acts by which that right, he
contends, was taken away, if the legis-
lature had ever intended to grant it.
He then goes on to argue that it has
always been the policy of the state to
prevent such consultations as the one
contemplated, quoting from the laws OF
1874 aud 1881 to bear out this view, and
also from decisions Of the supreme
court to show that actual consolidation
was what was aimed at in this case.
He urges that the permission to con-
solidate granted by the charter refers to
lines lying in the Same general direc-
ton, but not competing, the acquisition
of which might merely act as all extern
sion of the lines of the defendant.
General Childs next argues as to the
right of the legislature to amend the
charter Of the company SO as to take
away this right, if it had ever been in
tended to permit it to consolidate with
parallel or competing lines.

Secretary Lamont Says the Army Was
Never in Better Shape.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 50.-The opera
tons Of the war department of the
United States are fully set forth in the
annual of Secretary Lamont. The re-
ports Of the officers in command Of the
several geographical departments show
that the year has been tranquil and
undisturbed by Indian outbreaks, do
nestle violence Or troubles on the Dor
der. Steady and general effort to inn
prove the service has brought the troops
everywhere to a highly satisfactory con-
dition as to discipline, efficiency in mil
itary exercises and soldieriy, patriotic
spirit The army is better fed, clothed
and housed than ever before, and the
policy zealously pursued of promoting
the personal comfort Of the officers and
men has resulted in a devotion to the
service which is everywhere apparent.
It can be said with confidence that
never in its history has the present con-
dition of the army been surpassed.

HARRY HAYwARD's SUSPENSION

Believed It VIII Occur on Friday, DE-
cember Is.
ST. PAUL. Nov. 30.-The Daily: Globe
says: Harry T. Hayward will doubtless
be executed on Friday, Dec. 1s-one
week from next Friday. Governor
Clough has not yet named the day of
the hanging, but the conditions justify
the conclusion that upon the day named
will occur tho terrible seoul to the
most sensational and atrocious murder
in the history of the Northwest.
County Attorney Frank M. Nye is
known to favor the 18th. That fact has
been no special secret for some days.
The governor has expressed a desire to
consult with the county prosecutor be-
fore finally determining in regard to
this matter: Mr.. Nye will on Monday
next visit his excellency, and imme-
diately after that conference the gov
ernor will issue the order designating
the date Of the hanging. There has
been great feeling that while the gov
ernor would not are to have any great
length of time elapse before the execu-
ton, it should not be rushed. On the
other hand, there does not seem to be
anything about the case which would
suggest that the prisoner be given

had been hopeful all along that the su-

mentally for the final event, then there
might be, some reason for deferring the
hanging three or four weeks so that he
might get in proper state of mind.
But Hayward has for months calculated
there was nothing but death for him.
self and he has become quite thoroughly
resigned to his fate long ago. In fact,
be was rather averse to his father
apending the money that was necessary
q make the appeal to the supreme
cou1t. He did not seem to look forward
to the upper court decision with any
Interest whatever. When it came
he neither showed nor expressed
tho slightest disappointment. He has
given it out very emphatically that he
does not care to go down in history as a
"scaffold repentant'' and will not en-
brace the Christian or any religion. So
there is nothing in the idea of giving
the doomed man reasonable TIME in
which to prepare himself. To
Have the Execution Deferred
until after the holiday season would
doubtless strike great many people as
being an unnecessary delay. Nothing
would be accomplished by such post
ponement. On the other hand, it
would simply be an extension of a
period of painful and trying delay. The
sheriff and those of his deputies who
have had to do with this famous pris-
oner are anxious that this responsibility
cease. Hayward himself is almost in
state Of Indifference as to when the
hanging occurs. He said few days
ago that some persons expressed the
opinion that he would have another 80
OF 40 days to live, but he did not believe
that. He said it was very likely to
come before the holidays, and he
seemed to have his mind on Friday,
Dec. 20. He said he T2s Thoroughly
oontented" He was fully prepared for
the last ordeal.
