Diamond Cutters Must Go.

Washington. March 16.-Secretary
Carlisle has rendered a decision in
the diamond cutters case. in which he
holds that diamond cutting is not a
new industry within the meaning of
the act of 1885, and that therefore the
several diamond cutters who were
brought to this country some months
ago under contract to engage in dia-
mond cutting must be depOrted.

to Give Him Another Chance at Living.
Denver. Col, March 16.-The Dis
trict Court is hearing arguments to-
day on a motion for the discharge from
custody of Henry Tyson, convicted OF
murder and sentenced to be hanged,
but whose sentence was suspended on
account of insanity.
For three years the miserable man
was confined in a cell, allowed 10 see
or talk with no one. He lost both
sight and hearing and the power OF
motion. But when Warden McLister
took charge of the penitentiary i'll 1892,
two convicts were detailed each day to
exercise Tyson. Gradually the tor
tured man regained his senses, his eye
sight returned, and finally he could
distinguish sounds. A jury has now
declared him sane, and he may be re-
sentenced to be hanged. His attorneys
hope to secure his release on the
ground that he was convicted under an
eX-pov facto law.

JAMES G.. KENNEDY.

The election of James G. Kennedy to
the Office of principal of the Normal School
is matter of more than ordinary gratif-
cation to all who are interested in the ed
ucational affairs of the City, and it is
pleasing to note that his fitness for the
place was so well recognized by the Board
of Education that the selection was made
by the strong majority of nine to three.
Mr.. Kennedy, in addition to his long ex-
perienee in educational work. is born
educator. He has the faculty of arousing
in young minds an ambition to succeed
and a genuine enthusiasm for learning.
His force of character serves as stimulus
to those who come under its influence and
enables him to control and direct his stu
dents, not only by the enforcement of a
just discipline, but by awakening an ardor
for study and the performance of school
duties; SO that in all schools where he
has been engaged he has been regarded by
his pupils with degree of loyalty that is
rarely felt by young people for those in
authority over them.
Another faculty of importance to one
who aspires to be great teacher is pos
sessed by Mr.. Kennedy. This is the faculty
of continuing himself to be student and
learner in the wide field of educational
work. His broad well-balanced mind is
receptive to every right influence and has
been growing continually in its mastery of
the complex problems of the profession he
follows. There is not stagnant idea in
his mind. He not only leads others for
ward but goes forward himself, and is a
successful teacher because he is so faithful
and earnest student in the art of teach
ing.
Mr.. Kennedy will bring to the work of
his new Office a mind ripened by the expe-
rience OF many years in various kinds of
educational duties. His services in this
city In connection with the Cogswell
School and more lately as principal of the
Franklin Grammar School are familiar to
all who have paid any attention to our
school work. The Board of Education,
therefore, made no leap in the dark in
electing him to the Normal School. He
has been tried by many tests and never
found wanting. His work is known. His
repute is established. No man in the State
is better fitted to preside over the Normal,
and the school and students will be sure to
profit by the choice.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-19
a SERIOUS LOSS.

twill probably not be at once that the
Southern Pacific Company will realize the
extent of the loss which it has suffered in
the death of A. N. Towne. If ever a great
corporation needed the influence of such a
man as he, it is the one most hated by our
people to-day. His was strange character.
Evidently animated by kindly and
generous instinct. he was nevertheless one
of the most efficient servants of the COM
pany; and this means that he was an
efficient instrumentality in carrying out
the company's policy. We all know what
that is and always has been; but those
who knew Mr.. Towne well, cherished a
belief that his wisdom and kindliness, and
his evident appreciation of the ethical re-
lations to the public which his powerful
employers bore, were tolerated, if not con-
doned, by them in view of the masterful
ability which he displayed in directing the
practical operations of the company, and
that had it not been for him matters
might have been much worse than they
were.
With one exception (and that is T. H.
Goodman, the general passenger agent) he
is the last one of the "old guard" for whom
the very large number of operatives thrown
in contact with him cherish deep personal
regard, and surely no better test of char
acter than that can be found. 1t means
that the humanities were large, free and
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-19

active within him, and this carries with it
an explanation of the respect and conf
dence which the better part of the business
community bestowed upon him. There is
an abiding feeling that within the limits
of his power he was the friend of the
people, and that if his power had been
greater the company would not have pur-
sued a course which has blackened the
history of California with innumerable
scandals. And so it is that his death has
fallen upon the State as the removal of a
hope and stay.
Beginning life under the hardest condi-
tions and denied the advantages of an
education, he nevertheless became an i'm
portant factor in the management of one
of the most powerful institutions in the
country; and that he so governed his con-
duct as to retain the admiration and corf-
dence even of those who mistrusted his
employers means that his character was of
an uncommonly high order. His private
life was clean and admirable, and his
whole career is an eloquent illustration Of
the opportunities which all young men
enjoy in our country to practice that fidel-
ity to their employers and observe those
obligations to society which lift them
from the ranks.
