SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

--School-teachers under contract
with the school board of Chehalis,
Wash, are prohibited, by an order is
sued by the board recently, from dane
ing or playing cards.
Industrial training in mission
schools has been taken up in earnest by
the Society for Promotion of Christian
knowledge, grants for their establish
ment having been made to schools in
India and Africa.
There is one Christian minister for
every 900 of the population in Great
Britain, and there is but one in every
114,000 in japan, one in los, $50 in India,
one in $4,000 in Africa, and one in 437,-
900 in China.
One of Scotland's grand old men,
of whom she is justly proud, is DR..
David Brown, the principal of the Free
Kirk college at Aberdeen. At 90 he is
still one of the most active and inhuen-
tial members of the Scottish clergy.
Rev. DR.. Brann, rector of st. Agnes
parish, New York, is one of the wittiest
divines in the Catholic church. When
asked what he thought of the move
ment to rename the Episcopal church
he said: Its rather late, l should
think, to baptize the child of Henry
VIII"
1t is said that the Christian natives
of the South Sea islands prepare their
Sunday food ON Saturday. Not a fire
is lighted, neither flesh nor food is
cooked, not tree is climbed nor canoe
seen on the water, nor a journey by
land undertaken on Gods holy day.
The League of the Sixteen was a
Protestant combination formed by
henri de Bourbon, afterward known as
Henry ~, against the Catholic league
under the leadership of the duke OF
Guise. Henry Ill, hated the Guises and
supported the league, which ultimately
attained most of the purposes for which
il was formed.
There are more ordained womeI
preachers, apparently, in this country
than in any other. Recent statistic:
show they number in all 1926. Three
years ago there were only 725, but in the
present day many religious bodies
recognize the ministerial rights Of
women, and they are found among the
Congregationalists, Baptists, Method
lists, Universalists and Unitarians.
The Christian Sabbath has beer
made legal holiday in Japan by the au
thority of the government partly on the
theory that all men need day of rest
and partly out of respect to the Chris
tian religion. The government officers
and courts are all closed and official
business is universally suspended, al
though many of the shops are kept open
and some of the factories continue in
operation seven days in the week. I'm
der the new law those who work seven
days receive extra wages.

A HORSE MIND READER.
An Expert Trainer Says That Horses Are
Like Men.

An Expert Trainer Says That Horses Arc
Like Men.
Horses are almost as superstitious
as men, but, unlike men, they can be
reasoned with and made broadminded,
liberal, free-thinling philosophers.
The horse is the noblest animal that
walks the earth. He has most of the
good traits of the human race, with
some of the bad ones" 1t was Prof.
bartholomew who spoke in this exalted
strain about the horse.
when a youth l was a cowboy, and
one of the rough riders of the west.
Like other cowboys, l delighted in a
buckipg broncho, but l soon learned
that the widest horse can be tanned in
an hour so that he will follow his rider
about and let himself be ridden without
q struggle. 1 have tanned hundreds of
horses fresh from the prairies, and
never failed to make a complete con-
quest in a short time. / treat horses
as intelligent beings, and after man
ner ask them if they can do things.
Often they refuse, and again they say
as plainly as if they used words: Why,
yes, 1 can do that and they dot.
81 train my horses in classes. 1 take
q dozen and ask each to do a certain
thing. Some will start blindly, while
others win step up briskly and say:
Yes, l can do that Then l ask them
to do something else, and then those
who are quickest at first will halt, while
those who made no response before are
anxious to do the thing. Thus | soon
learn the class of work each is espe-
Sially fitted for, and develop them along
their special lines, In this way they
are just like men. Now, l have tried
numerous ways to make living out
side of horses, but always fail and drift
back to my hobby.
Horses are like men in the amount
of courage they can muster up. If /
want a horse to do extra long jumps, 1
select creature that is finely built and
has all the physical qualities, but per-
haps he is coward and afraid to leap.
Some little, half-developed creature pos
sessed with daredevil spirit may out
do him in every respect."--Agricul-
turist.

AN AMERICAN MIsER,
Dies In Fit and In; Poverty, While
Having Great Wealth.

Having Great Wealth.
PARIS, France, Jan. 3l.-The old
American miser who fell in a fit
recently while walking along the
boulevard Des Capucines and who
was taken to his lodgings, where
he died, was, it appears now,
named Peters. He had lived in
the poor apartment ascertained to
be his home, for about twelve
years, and in an inside pocket of
his coat was found an envelope
containing papers, among which
was a check for 500, 200. The en-
velope containing this check was
postmarked Boston and when the
miser's domicile was searched
French bank notes and American
securities were found in various
places. The total amount repre-
scented by the securities and notes
is 100000 francs. Mr.. Peters de-
prived himself of the necessities Of
life and only spent franc and
half 80 CD daily on his meals. He
is supposed to have been interest
ed in large concern in America
and to have received from it checks
for his portion of the profits.

ENGINEER NEWTON DEAD.
An Engineering Failure Preyed Upon His
Mind,

Mind.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-August
Newton, third son of the late Gen.
George w. Newton, who was one
of the most distinguished engineers
of the age, died at the Hudson
street hospital last night. He had
taken an overdose of choral. Mr..
Newton was one of the engineers
who built the Harlem river speed
way. After thousands of dollars
had been expended by the city up
on this great undertaking, it was
discovered that the greater part of
the work had to be done over
again. The park commissioners
then had to appoint experts to go
over the work, as a great part OF
the built roadway seemed to be
sliding into the river. The ex-
perts, however, decided that the
contractors could be held response
BILE for the fault of the crib work
to hold its place, as the crib filling
did not come up to the require
ments Of the specifications. This
preyed a great deal upon Mr.. New
toms mind, and tended in a large
measure to make him nervous. A
friend of the family said last
night that owing to excess of work
Mr.. Newton was in the habit of
taking mild doses of choral for
his nerves. He had no doubt taken
an overdose that caused death.
Mr.. Newton was born in Florida
and was thirty-seven years old.
His father, who was president Of
the Panama railroad company
when he died last May, was best
known by having in charge the
blowing up of the distractions at
Hallett's Point reef in 1876, and
the rocks at Hellgate in 1885. The
son, August NJ. Newton, was edu-
Gated at Seton Hall as a civil en-
gineer. For some time he was in
his fathers office, and afterward
took contracts for himself.
He built a breakwater at Fer
nandina, one at Savannah, Ga,
and another at New Haven, Conn.
He was a partner with John C..
Rogers in building the speedway
road.

THE BICYCLE OUTPUT.
This Years Production Expected to Elk
coed by Ear That of 1895.

This Years Production Expected to Elk
coed by Ear That of 1895,
1t is expected that the output Of
bicycles in this country for 1896
will far exceed that of 1895. 1t is
said that American manufacturers
are prepared to produce this year,
if they can get when they need
them sufficient supplies of steel
tubing and other material, 100000
bicycles. The output last year
was, approximately, 100000 BIZ
cycles. 1t is thought that the
actual production this year will
reach $4,000; it is more likely to
exceed that number.
Few wheels are imported, not
enough to cut any figure here.
Our exports are still not great.
American manufactures have been
too busy supplying the home de-
mands to make much effort to
supply other markets, but they
continue to increase. We are sell
ing more bicycles in Mexico and
more in South America, principal
Iy in the Argentine republic.
Our exports to Europe are also in
creasing, the greater number
going to France and Belgium,
though we sell some wheels in
other continental countries and
to Great Britain. In Paris enough
American bicycles are now sold
to make them factor in the
trade.

CIassiflcntion Of Employees.

So far as the work Of classification Of the
employees OF the War Department has pro-
crossed under the recent order looking to
the extension of the civil service rules, it
appears that the total number Of persons
in the employ of the department in every
capacity, and in the country at large, as
well as in Washington, is 1900. OF these,
GAIT are now classified, 5.765 are excluded
from classification under rule 3, section g.,
of the civil service rules; 1,1O1 persons are
excluded from classification because they
are engaged in manual labor, and 1872 per-
sons have not yet been classified, mainly
because Of doubt as to their status. But
two persons In the civil establishment are
exempt from classification by reason Of the
fact that they are subject to confirmation
by the Senate, and they are the Secretary
and the assistant secretary of war.
OF the 5765 persons excluded from CLASH
fcation under rule g. b,745 are in the engi-
neer's department, 10 in the signal service
and 1 in the Chickamauga Park commits
sion. OF the l.. 101 below the classified lists.
SIC are In the quartermasters department.
4S2 in the engineers department., and the
remainder in the War Department itself.
OF tie 1.572 not yet classified, 70 are in the

ordnance department and 81 in the engi-
neer's department.

GAMBLING CASES GO OVER
Another Adjournment Today for the jackson
City Offenders.
New Warrants to lie Served-Justice
Lane Orders Bonds of Absent
Defendants Forfeited.

Justice Lanes court near Jackson City
asse mbled this morning to try the oft-ad-
1cTrned cases of the alleged violators Of
the gambling and liquor laws of Alexan-
dria county. Justice Pelham was on hand
20 lend his legal cooperation to Justice
Lane. while Attorney johnson and AS
sistant Attorney Marbury represented the
power and dignity of the commonwealth OF
Virginia in prosecuting capacity. At
torneyc Mushback and Brent represented
the defenders in the cases.
Mr.. Marbury demanded that the names
OF the defendants be called and that in
their absence their bonds be forfeited
Mr.. Brent insisted that their presence
was not necessary, and he moved to uuash
the warrants.
Mr.. Marbury said 1t was his understand
Ing that Mr.. Brent had agreed to have
the defendants present today for trial with
out further delay, pending the issuance of
new and correct warrants. A flisa gree.
ment arose between him and Mr. Brent
upon this point. Mr. Marbury insisted
upon ruling by the court on his motion
to forfeit bonds
MIR. Brent and Mr.. Mushback commended
that in misdemeanor case it was not nee
essary for the defendants to be present in
person. Mr.. Marbury held that while he
could try the defendants in their absence
to forfeit the bonds they gave for their at
tendance upon court.
The court ruled that the bonds were
thereupon forfeited. The counsel for the
defendants noted an appeal.
MIR. Marbury then asked to have the wit
nesses called. These who answered were
John Carroll. Andrew Mum and John
James. Mr.. Marbury moved to fine for
contempt of court Lee Gambler and Benz.
Edelin,, witnesses summoned and failing to
answer. A rule was issued against them to
show cause why they should not be fined
for conten pit.
At this point Mr.. Marbury asked that a
continuance of the cases be made until next
Tuesday. The request was granted and the
adjournment taken.
After the court adjourned Mr.. Marbury
vas asked by a Star reporter why 1t was
necessary to postpone the cases.
For this reason" he replied. 'Tt will
be remembered that the original warrants
were defective and 1t was necessary to IS
sue new ones. This was done; but It has
not been possible to serve the new and
correct warrants.
THE defendants were under bond to
appear here today. 1t was my purpose to
serve the new warrants upon them In court
and proceed to trial. But. as you see, tn /.
defendants were not present, and there
was nothing to be done but move to forfeit
their bonds and adjourn the court until the
new warrants can be served. They will be
served at once"

Gratis will balance each other, and will,
therefore. not effect the result on the ma
tional ticket. The question then recurs
whether the sound money democrats will
be able to throw Missouri TO Mckinley.
If the state were to be judged by ST. Louis
alone this might be possible. There is no
mistaking the vitality of the movement
here. Secretary Francis has his followers
well in line. Grit Pra.her is almost the
only gold standard democrat who went to
Chicago that is supporting the ticket.
There is no chance that the movement will
weaken between now and election day.
The ST. Louis sound money activity IS
echoed at Kansas City and other cities.
Carl Schurz and sound money democrats
of national reputation will be in the state
during the campaign, and their influence
will be felt.
The Probable Outlook.
Giving these facts due weight, 1t 10
nevertheless the opinion of The Star cor
respondent that Bryan will have little trou-
BILE in carrying Missouri. The 10000 popu-
list votes are a concrete political quantity
which may reasonably be taken to offset
the intangible sound money detection.
Moreover, the under strata of the demo-
cratic party in Missouri the masses, are
fiercely loyal to Bryan and free silver. The
phenomenal meetings which greeted Mr..
Bryan In St. Louis show this conclusively.
His journey across the state also showed
it. The writer was with the candidate
when he Travelled from st. Louis to Kansas
City, soon after his nomination. A passable
measure of enthusiasm was then shown.
This time, from Kansas City to St Louis,
the enthusiasm was much greater, the
crowds were larger and there were every
where the farmers, who had TO travel
miles to reach the station. Curiosity is not
sufficient to account for their interest.
The simple truth is that the back counties
are for Bryan. Naturally, more is heard
of the sound money movement in the cit
les than of the free silver sentiment in the
rural districts, but in reckoning on election
day the farmer vote must not be overlook
ed. Such chances as have been given for
it to show it's lta;ing point clearly to Bry-
rush.
