Treasure Transportation in China.
We have heard much, especially of

OF all ranks, and the pitiable evidence
OF il In the failure of the Chinese army

struggle with Japan is too recent and
convincing to be disputed; but on the
other hand we can only wonder at the

silver is usually confined in rough
logs OF wood that have been split, hol-

Education For
Citizens
By Charles r. Skinner, Superintendent
Of the Department of Public In
struction In the State of NY.

ailSAlzSS should lay the
iE3x foundations of
INN morality, viz.
M r. tue, and good
IS character / n
IeexSss the lives Of
all who enter them. This is a
basis upon which all may safely
stand. But as ii is true that our
schools must make our citizens, .
so their true aim should be be-
You'd literature, beyond art, be-
you'd culture, in the domain
which includes questions of gov
ernment-how governments are
made, why they are made, how
they can be kept pure, and how
the laws and agencies which hold
them together can be regulated
and controlled There must ex.
list a close relatio nship between
education as a foundation and
National prosperity as d result.
Hthere is one institution upon
which the safety and prosperity
Of the Nation rests more than
upon any other, 1t is the common
school. The men and women Of
the future viii be what the com
mon school makes them. The
common schools are better safe
guards Of the Nation than forts
or standing armies. Unless edu-
cation for citizenship comes
through the schools, itmay never
come at all. A young man may
not know whether he will become
alawyer, physician, a minister,
a farmer, ora carpenter, but he
ought early to know that he is
sure to become q citizen, endow-
ed with a citizens rights and a
citizens responsibilities. and he
should early be taughtwhat these
rights and responsibilities are.
We have special education for
all the busy professions of life.
Why NOT, then, education for
citizenship which may embrace
all professions ? The school tax
is always paid by the State and
the Individual with less complaint
than any other tax. There is a
confident feeling that something
is always paid back in fitting our
youth for the duties Of life II
this system does not fulfill the
design of those who ablished
and those who MAINTAIN it, in
rounding out the lives of our
boys and girls, if it is not making
vigorous manhood and woman
hood, if 1T is not pointing out the
way for all to add to the glory Of
the State by a comprehension Of
the duties Of the citizen, then in
H :. !.
SO far it is falling to do what we
have a rlghtto!ex of 1t. It
was never intended that the free
school system Of our State should
mean simply scholarship. II
means citizenship as well. Ninety
per cent of those educated in the
common schools of the State
never go beyond the common
schools, and yet they are sent
out into the busy world as citi-
zens without knowing the rights
or duties of citizenship.
In all our schools, from the
lowest to the highest, let there
be taught to some extent the es-
sential features of our Govern
ment. This implies the teach
Ing of politics, that kind Of poll
tics which, without hypocrisy,
considers public Office 9 public

PAYS THE PENALTY.
Pop Davis Sentenced to Lifc Imprison-
rient For Murder.


Pop Davis was sentenced to life i'm
N. Y, for the murder of George Tankard,
colored boy at Keesevile, n. Y, Sept.
"a 1894.
Ths boy was a mulatto, aged 10. and
was killed sometime during the day, but
the deed was not discovered until his
mother, Maria Tankard, came home at
$3.50 in the evening and found the dead
body Of her son with the head fearfully
crushed by a hammer. Pop" had been
living there, Mrs. Burton being his sister,
in-law. On the evening of the decd he
was missing and n telegram was sent
here, requesting his arrest, and within n
few minutes he was arrested and lodged in
jail by Chief of Police Dumas.
1t appears that Pop" came here on the
Chateaugay the same day of the murder
and went to police headquarters where
he talked with tho chief while about
murderers, etc, being then under the in
fuence of liquor. The chief sent him
home, but next day he came around again
and the telegram having arrived he was
arrested. Next day he was pumped" and
at first denied the story but after a while
admitted that he had seen man in wo-
mans clothes do the deed, but had for
gotten his name.
Pop" was put on trial and after ~
days had been consumed and 1902 witness
es had been examined, he was found guilty
of murder in the second degree and sem
fenced to Dannemora for life. The de-
fence practically admitted his guilt, but
fought the case on the grounds of insan-
ity, thereby making 1t the second degree.

MONTPELIER SEMINARY ALUMNI
Hold Their Annual banquet in Boston-A
Lively Corpse

Boston, March S.-A reunion of the Bos-
ton Association Of the Vermont Methodist
Seminary Alumni was held at the United
States Hotel last evening, to celebrate
what was termed the approaching death
of that organization The body represents
fully $50 members, all of whom take a
lively interest in the thriving and pros
porous condition of the Montpelier SEM
mary. The association spirit and enthusi-
asm, however, has been on the wane for
past years, and the novelty of a funeral
ceremony over a living corpse suggested
itself to the executive committee as
most novel method of arousng renewed
interest. The scheme worked well, for the
corpse turned out to be very lively. Fully
40 members responded to the muster, and
the gathering was one of the most en-
thusiastic order. President F. r. ii. Gary
was in the chair, and acted as toast
master. The association entertained as
it's guests Rev. d. Edgar NJ. Smith, presi-
dent of the seminary, and Rev. II. A..
Spencer, the financial agent.
The list of toasts included, in addition
to speeches from the guests, 1.-THE Sem
