SOME newspapers are giving a great
deal of space to the sayings and do
ings of people who are called sound
money Democrats. 1t is waste space,
and the time spent in reading it is a
waste Of time. There can be no such
thing as an unsound money Democrat.
Democracy demands sound money and
plenty of it, and that is what the Dem
ocratic platform proposes to furnish.

THE corrupt and intimidatlng meth

exposure will bring thousands and
hundreds of thousands Of voters over

The suItan's Private Museum.

This is the sultan's private museum.
Here are collected and beautifully ar
ranged all the presents that no has re-

objects that belonged to some OF his

caskets, wonderfully bound books, china

ranged in their cases that one could ex-
anime and enjoy them. a delightful
contrast to the confusion in which the
treasures of the old seraglio are heaped
together. One upright case contained
four dozen of the most perfect deep blue
Sevres plates, a present from the EN-
peror Napoleon, sunk into velvet, "a on
each side Of the stand. Each plate was
picked and perfect specimen. The

Teaching Them English.

The simple and effective method OF
teaching English to the children of ltal-
ians, Portuguese, Polish and German
Jews used in the north end schools Of
Boston might protitably be adopted by
other cities which are obliged to face
the fact that within their borders are
thousands of foreign children who know
nothing of the customs, institutions or
language of this country A writer IN
the Boston Transcript thus describes the
method:
The children, within few days after
their arrival, are sent to the public
schools, as rule without compulsion,
and here they are first Of all taught the
English language. 1t is done by sys'
tenn Of object lessons. The teachers II
the elementary rooms are young women,
as men would not be patient enough tt
accomplish the best results.
The teacher may point to her eye anc
say, "This is my eye, repeating IT sew
eral times and requiring the pupils tt
repeat it in unison. Other portions q
the body are pointed out in simlIal
manner, ana tnen lainlllu opJ'O's IL
the room are in the same way brough
TO the attention of the children.
Later, when they have made sufficien
progress in the language, 1t becomes de
sirable to teach the different lenses. IL
accomplish this, boy or girl is directe'
to run slowly round the room, when tn
teacher and children say in unison
"That boy is running, repeating tn
sentence several times. The boy is the
| told to halt, and the teacher and pupil
say in unison, THAT boy did run;
| again, "That boy is standing still,
''That boy can run, THAT boy
walking, "That boy walks fast, y
can walk, 81 can run, II did walk,
etc.
These and other sentences, as the
are spoken, are written on the black
board by the teacher, and the pupil
write them on their states. Thus the
are taught the language and taught

A Story of Ole Bull.

A curious tale of Ole Bull is told IN
a recent book on violins and violinists.
1t seems that in 1881, being then 81
years of age, the famous violinist wan
dered to Paris. The cholera was raging
and Malibran singing. He went to hear
her, and his landlord decamped with
his possessions, including his violin.
He was speedily reduced to extremity.
During the last dinner that he was able
to pay for he made the acquaintance OF
a remarkable man. To this stranger
Ole Bull confided his miseries. At the
conclusion the stranger said abruptly,
"Well, will do something for you II
you have courage and 8 francs. " i
have BOTH" said Bull. Then go TO
Frascati's tonight at 10 O'Clock, pass
through the first room, go into the Sec
ond, where they play rouge ct noir, and
when a new taille begins. put your o
francs. on rouge and leave it there. "
Bull did as directed, and when his 3
francs had become 400 took them up
after an episode with a woman who at
tempted to take them. Red continued
TO win, and had he left his money longer
he would have won an independent sum.
The stranger, who was present at his ell
bow, was Vidocq, the French detective
| already European celebrity.

NIanagua-

Managua seems TO have been made
the capital of Nicaragua because the two
principal cities, Leon and Granada,
were always fighting for the honor.
Leon approaches the most closely to the
true metropolitan character. 1t covers
wide extent of country. Its public
buildings are admittedly the finest in
Central America, and, besides showing
a greater variety of race in its inhabit-
ants, it is the abode of the old aristoc-
racy. Then it has gone in for progress
and education, and though it strikes one
as trifie homogeneous to see even rail-
way station in place like this, to say
nothing of the other adjuncts of civil
cation, there is no blinking the fact
that these same adjuncts are there, and
that they represent an advance. And
the cathedral of cut stone is a magnifi-
cent structure, covering an entire square,
and fronting the whole width OF the
grand plaza.
From the roof l saw the wide Pacific
shining like thin rim of silver on
the western horizon, while stretching
away to the northeast l followed with.
out shifting my eyes the line OF Los
Marabios, which are nine volcanoes,
some of them as perfectly tapered as an
Egyptian pyramid. Managua has GER
tain advantage in being situated on the
lemon colored lake of the same name
and in being the seat of government. -

A meeting OF the joint committees of

evening to settle up business pertaining
to the inter-association field day. The
matter OF forming some sort OF commit
tee, or authority, for Judging OF any ath-
lete's standing as an amateur and for the
settlement OF all matters pertaining to
athletics between the associations, was
discussed slightly and the members OF the
committee thought each association
should have meeting OF it's members in
terested in athletics and choose one or
two gentlemen, whose standing and de
cisions would be unquestioned, to repre-
sent it. These gentlemen should have a
general knowledge OF athletics, but should
be chosen from older gentlemen, who
now have no direct connection with such
affairs. 4 committee so chosen and
armed with authority could regulate al
matters nicely.
