HERBERT L. MATHEWS DEAD.
Cold Contracted Two
Weeks Ago

Herbert L. Mathews, vel known in this
city and the surrounding territory as an
able authority on the merits of Old books
and the proprietor of a book store at 1915
Walnut street, died at his home, 1917 Olive
street, yesterday morning of brain fever.
He had been i'll for several months, but
cold contracted about two weeks ago con-
fined him TO his bed and resulted in brain
fever.
Mr.. Mathews was unmarried, and has
made his home with his mother A broth
er, Virgil Mathews, of the firm of Lieps-
ner & Mathews, manufacturers of rubber
stamp goods, this city, survives him. The
funeral services will be held from his late
residence this afternoon at o'clock, and
burial viii be in EimwOod cemetery
Mr.. Mathews was born in Coldwater
Mich, in 1862 and moved with his parents
10 Kansas City when a small boy. While
his business-lIke manners attracted the
who gave the boy a position in his store
His natural love for books. which he i'm
mediately cultivated, soon made him an
authority on their merits, and consequent
ly valuable assistant TO his employer. A
few years later he accepted a position with
N. H. Dickinson & Co, as clerk in the
book department, and subsequently went
into business for himself. During his ca
Teer as a bookseller he made "a special
study OF the works OF the early authors,
and his opinion was often sought by per-
sons collecting such volumes.

JUST PASSED HIM ALONG.
lice Court-Mr. Burnham
Uses His Fist.


Tom Moran one of the burNest toughs Of
the North end, fell into the hands of the
police Friday night, under a charge of va
grancy, thing he has done many times
before Yesterday he fell from his high
pedestal as king of the hoboes, the fall
being directly due to a well directed blow
from City Attorney Burnham's fist, just
after Moran had been arraigned in police
court on the charge against him.
Mr.. Burnham was ably assisted by Off
Ger Eugene GeseH, the TWO forming a tan
dem play against Mordn's rush line that
did almost as effective work as that OF the
Princeton Tigers against Yale yesterday
Moran has been arrested twenty times in
the past year on charges OF Vagrancy, pet
tyr tnieying and beating a dissoILte woman
on May street.
When the case was called yesterday
morning City Attorney Burnham called
the attention of the court TO the fact that
Moran had been released from charge Of
vagrancy not long ago under condition that
he would leave the city. He also said the
cases in the criminal court against Moran,
of which there were about half dozen,
had been annulled.
But now that Moran is still in the
city, urged Mr.. Burnham, Il want him
TO be sent to the workhouse where he can
serve a good long sentence
'Will you testify that the cases have
been disposed of" asked Police Judge Gif-
ford of Attorney Burnham.
Il Will" said the attorney. Il will -
but before he could get the words out Of
his mouth. Moran chimed in the coDversa-
sat:on in an insolent tone:
Il thought YOU was a man..
II am a man." replied Burnham, land I
propose TO see that you are given your
just deserts and he shook his finger at
the insole!Dt bully.
You're a damned liar retorted Mo-
ran, leaning far over the courts desk, but
hardly were the words out of his mouth,
when Mr. Burnham struck him a swift
blow in the mouth, bringing the blood and
staggering the surprised bully against Of
hcer Gesell Who was witness in another
case and who was standing nearby.
The officer formerly worked a. a black
smiths helper at the Riverside Iron works,
and tUssle with such. as Mo-
ran was immensely TO his liking. 1t gave
him an appetite. AS Moran fell against
him. officer GeSell encircled his neck with
one arm, and, lifting him off the floor,
quickly reversed his motion and threw the
sasping bully against the wall, where he
sank in a chair and remained perfectly sub
dued.
When Mr.. Burnham struck Moran, Judge
Clifford jumped to his feet an. call for
order. 1t was secured with subjuga-ion of
Moran. Mr.. Burnham then turned to Judge
Clifford and asked his pardon, which was
speedily granted. Wh n No. an WAS able
to stand on his feet, Judge C ford said:
Il sentence you to ten days solitary con-
finement in the city prison, after which
you Will be taken 20 the workhouse for 200
days. Moran could not reply, and was
led from the court room. He afterward
sent word to City Attorney Burnham that
he would get even. Fifteen other vags
We're either sent to the Workhouse or Or
dered to leave the city.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF THE CITY.
:...:.:....::.::::....

President John w. Cook, of the state
normal schools, of Normal, Ill.,, will visit
the Humboldt school on next Wednesday
to hear the recitations of the primary arith-
rnetic classes. In letter to Superintendent
Greenwood. President Cook stated that
his attention had been drawn to the
schools OF this city by the annual report
of Commissioner of Education Harris,
which was issued few months ago. In
this report Mr.. Harris devoted a whole
chapter to an explanation of the method
employed in the public schools of Kansas
City, by which the pupils were success
fully taught to compute in fractions dur
ing their first year in school. This report
has attracted national attention from the
fact that prominent educators all over the
United States have always considered the
successful teaching of puzzIng fractions
to primary pupils impossible. President
Cook will make the trip to this city for
the purpose of seeing for himself how well
Superintendent Greenwood's theory works
when put in practice.
