RHODES GOES BACK.
Stay of the South African Magnato
In England was Very
Short.

London, Feb. 10-Cecii Rhodes, for
merly premier of Cape Colony, started
for Buluwayo today. Mr.. Rhodes de-
parture was managed very quietly. He
will go to South Africa via the Suez
canal. The Duke of Abercorn, presi-
dent Of the British Chartered South
African company and Il few friends were
the only people who saw Mr. Rhodes off
1t is understood that he will return to
which will take place in June next.
The sudden departure of Mr.. Rhodes
for South Africa was a surprise. it is
said, to the colonial office. The Pail
Mall Gazette this afternoon mentions
the report that Mr.. Rhodes went away
i'll order to defeat any attempt upon the
part of the House of Commons to stop
him from leaving the country.

NEW YORK's WICKEDEsT SPOT.
OVercrowded Tenements and Cheap
Lodging Houses.


The wickedest spot in New York, ac-
cording to those who should know, is the
Eleventh police precinct. 1t is only
eight blocks square, being the smallest
precinct SO far as area is concerned yet
no other four precincts taken together
can equal it in the number of crimes
committed and arrests made. Though
the population is only a little over 1OO,-
600, about 10000 people were detained
in the Eldridge street police station dur
ing last year. About one-half of these
were charged with some violation of the
law, 4132 of them being women. The
other half consisted of Migrants and
homeless women, who were lodged for
the night in the station house and lost
children who were kept uncalled tor
This condition of affairs is probably due
10 the location of the district, which
starts at the beginning of the l3oWery
and extends east and north for eight
blocks. Within these narrow limits,
cooped up in crowded tenements and
cheap lodging houses, men, women and
children are crowded together IN a way
not at all conducive to their physical and
moral welfare. The poverty of lgnor-.
ance and intemperance flourishes side by
side with the wealth of ill-gotten gains.
Almost every nationality is represented
in this sink of sin and inlQuity, and
there is hardly thief or confidence

"foaters" here, which is made up # the
riff-raff Of the world. Whatever the re-
form movement has done in the way of
cleaning out the dives of the neighbor-
hood, it has not reformed the people.
The places are gone, but the wicked peo-
pie are still there. Mysterious deaths
are constantly reported from the Elev-
enth precinct. Twenty murderers were
arraigned for trial the last year, and
there was perhaps twice as many who
were never caught. The victims are sell
dom of a sufficiently high degree in the
social scale to attract much public at
tention. Felonious assaults and grand
larcenes occur by the hundred in fact,
crime here gives a continuous perform
ance, and the police canont help them

UHL'S PROMOTION.
Some oe the State Department
Officers will Step Up a Notch
in Consequence.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 1O-The
President has nominated Edwin +. Uhl,
assistant secretary of state, to be am
bassador and minister extraordinary and
plenipotentiary of the United States to
Germany. Formal assurance has been
received here that the appointment will
be entirely satisfactory to Emperor Will
lam. William w. Rockhill, the third
mated to fill the office of the first as
sistant secretary vacated by Mr. Uhl.
1t is probable that Mr.. Rockhills place
will be in turn filled by the promotion of
some person in the state department.
This may be either Mr.. Dridler, chief
of the diplomatic bureau, or Edward
Arenick chief clerk of the department.
The Senate in executive session con-
irmed the nomination of Edwin +. Uhl
to be ambassador to Germany.

THE ST. PAUL IN DRYDOCK.
The Big Steamer was Not Strained by
Her Stranding.

New York, Feb. 10.-The Interna-
tional Navigation company's steamer st.
Pau has been sent to Newport News to
be placed in a drydock. This course was
adopted upon the recommendation of the
assistant inspectors of steam vessels. who
have been examining the big steamer
to ascertain the results of her experience
on the sand off Long Branch.
The inspectors express the opinion that
the St. Paufs hull is uninjured except
some slight damage to her bottom plat
ing. All of her interior construction,
such as frames, stringers, web and belt
frames, deck frames and the butts in her
upper deck and rails, the report says,
are as perfect as they were before she
stranded. Her sheer is also unchanged,
all of which clearly shows that she is not
strained or weakened

oh, fee from his pathway, all creatures of
vice.
And likewise all good men and true;
For he handles weapon more cruel than
nice,
And its terrors are thrSting for you.
His wounds are not mortal. He challenges
not
To combat that reddens with blood
But the bushes he raises are never forgot;
The man with a handful of mud.
And he hurls it on high, and he watches it
spread
And his laugh echoes fearful and loud
He cares not, though some may alight on
his head,
If it only bespatter the crowd.
The whittier the object, the deeper the stain,
When abuse covers all in its flood;
But his joys are his own, and he laughs at
their PAIN

ERASTUS WIMAN IS FREE.
Remaining Indictments Against Him
Dismissed.

New York, Feb. 10.-District Attorney
Fellows today made a recommendation
in the court of general sessions that all
pending indictments against Erastus Wi
man be dismissed. Judge McMahon
promptly granted the motion.
The indictments against Mr.. Wiman
were found early in the spring of 1891,
d few months after his failure in bust
ness. and he was tried early in June of
forging the endorsement of e. w. Bull
lirger to a check for $4,000. Wiman's
defense was that he was a partner in the
firm of r. G. Dun & Co., to which the
check was drawn, and as such was en-
titled 70 draw checks.

STEP TOWARD ARBITRATION
England Gets Some Data About
Personal Property in the
Disputed District.

London, Feb. 10.-The Bradford OBJ
server says it learns that the Marquis
Of Salisbury has requested the authori-
ties of British Guiana to inquire into
the number and extent of the districts
occupied by British subjects. This, ac-
cording to the paper mentioned, is due
to the fact that the British government
is willing to arbitrate on condition that
Great Britain be allowed to retain the
districts occupied by British subjects or
that the latter be compensated for their
loss by Venezuela in the event of the
territory passing into the possession of
the latter country.

Boston Wonder.

Boston is still talking of the cclebrat-
ed Higginson-Smith elopement, which
has turned out to be more than a nine
days wonder. New Workers and Bos-
tonians who are spending the winter
on the Riviera report that they have
seen Mrs. Higginson and her Smith
at Monte Carlo, playing at the tables
there. Probably they are playing off
the 100000 that Higginson is said to
have sent them. Mrs Higginson is said
to look radiantly happy, while Smith
looks careworn and anxious and bears
marks of dissipation. Those who saw
them seem to feel more pity for him than
for her. But. in the course of time.

London, Feb. 6.-The fact has de-

the noted Nihilist, who was recently
killed by train in this city, enjoyed Il
large income from his literary work,
yet he contributed so largely to the sup
port of Russian refugees in this country
that his widow is left practically penni-

decided to ask the cooperation Of the
American branch of the Intern;; tionaI

the inability to swallow, and that may

whose hand was licked by dog, which
afterward suffered from rabies. The
name of the disease is 1ysophobia, or

F. w. Atkinson in the Atlantic Monthly.
The teacher need not have the graces Of
Lord Chesterfield, but, as the instructor
Of boys and girls, he should possess good
manners. Perfect self-possession, freedom
from afiectation, proper care for dress and
the person, produce a subtle and insensible
training in the school room that is hardly
less valuable than that which is given by
direct instruction. Good manners are sad
iy wanting In children of all school grades
above the kindergarten. Often the home
pays too little attention to the cultivation
of polite ways but the school itself is
responsible in a larger measure. Teach
ers have here valuable opportunity that
they cannot afford to neglect; bat how
can they teach politeness If they are not
themselves DOlite2 Further, to make their
social status in all respects as dignihed
as that of the professions, 1t is the duty
of each teacher to avail himself of the
unusual opportunities for self-cultiva-
ton that this calling offers. Art, litera-
ture and history should be regarded by
him not alone from teachers but from
a students point of view.
The normal schools should give more
time and thought to the social side of the
young teacher. Then, as teachers go from
these institutions, would the schools
themselves. in which they teach tend to
develop better manners. The educational
society of Brooklyn, the teachers clubs
of Detroit Chicago, Cincinnati and New
Orleans, and some of the reading circles
of the western cities, beside raising the
professional standard, are bringing the
teacher more into touch with society. Any
influence that can create a closer SYM
pathy and cooperation between the home
and the school Will tend to better the So
cial position of the teacher. Improve
ments in the teachers status must take
their beginning from the teachers them
selves. This problem. however, cannot be-
treated as altogether distinct from the
other problems that the teachers position
presents. To secure social standing and
recognition. teachers must possess culture
and personal power that win respect out
