ENGLAND AND SPAIN.
VINE. They Both Wanted 60 and NsftAsr
Dared Declare War.


Devotion to the queens majesty was
the picturesque form of an intense pa
triotism, and as the sixteenth century
entered its last decade patriotism be-
came simply hatred Of Spain. Strange
dogs which have never seen one another
before snarl when they meet; they scent
antipathies. Two men will feel Al In
stinctive mutual dislike even when the
course Of business makes formal polite
ness necessary. So il was with English
man and Spaniard. The necessities Of
politics kept the two courts for long
years ON terms Of hollow politeness. II
was strained again and again to break
ing point. but neither side could afford
to break it, II Philip were 20 declare
war, France might remember old SCORES
still unsatisfied and the prosecuted
Netherlands would rise for revenge. II
Elizabeth yielded hastily to the pressure
Of her ministers or her people or her
foreign allies. she might find the French
listless. the Dutch powerless and herself
pitted alone against the worldwide pow
er and enormous wealth Of Spain, and
then her disaffected subjects would rise
and rally round her rival, Mary Of SCOT
land.
Each was obliged to play Z waiting
game-lying. complimenting. protesting.
with war at the heart and pence ON the
lips. 1t was game which, though con-
genial to the peculiar temperament Of
Elizabeth, wore out her ministers and
made Philip a gloomy monomaniac.
Both sides were heartily sick Of IL. yet
neither dared throw up the cards. But
while the courts went through the weary
farce, the peoples knew that they wese
enemies. There was sphere far re-
moved from the control Of cebinets-the
sea; and for years. while London and
Seville were at peace, on the high seas
there was war. The "sea dogs" not only
snarled, but snapped. This was their
importance in English history. At their
own risk, but with the full connivanoe
of the queen, they took the Spanish
matter into their own hands and dealt
with it in their own downright way.
The tales of their deeds kept the ma
tion from growing dull and tired Of the
wearisome policy Of the government,
and so forgetful of the great work which
God had given it to do. And when the
time came for the wornout masks to 30
thrown aside, and Spain and England
looked at one another with the frank
war light in their eyes, the sea dogs were
straightway at the queens service, with
captains, crews and ships, not only ready
but trained for the great strusgle-

DR.. Boone's Lecture
at Hancock on
Education.
Advantage OF the New Systen,
Over the oId-Lecsure nv Rev. wash.
fngton Gardser Tomorrow Even
fng-Osher Newsitss.

DR.. n. g. Boone, OF the State Normal
School, delivered his lecture at the Y. M.
2. A. Han Wednesday evening to an aud
ierce composed principally OF teachers in
the public schools and few others inter-
ested in the work. The subject was "The
Old vs the New Education"
The lecturer first spoke in a general
way OF the Importance given to the edu-
cation OF children by quoting figures OF
the cost OF education each year in the
United States; $3.50, 900, 900 is spent,
$40, 900, 900 is invested in school prop
erty and $4,000. 900 children educated
each year. He defined education as not
confined to the years OF school life, but
said broader education was that self
obtained either after habits OF study had
been inculcated in the schools or without
that habit, in a more laborious way.
The new education applies to both sexes,
and much more to the weaker sex than
even did the old.
The man who has received the highest
education possible has a much better
chance for success in life than one with
the old eystem OF education. A large
proportion OF men holding responsible
positions In business life are college bred,
although individual cases OF the failure Of
college bred men are made much OF.

Local Police Had No Charge on Which
They Could Hold Him.

Chauncey johnson. the noted crook,
captured by Detective Parker yesterday,
turned his back upon Providence, and will
never, never more return.
Under the laws-of this State, "Cbaun-
cey" could not be held any length OF
time, and as he had not, as. he terms 1t,
appropriated no ones property" while
in town, all that Mr.. Parker could do was
to ascertain whether any of the nearby
cities wanted him.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr.. Parker
asked the old man what he would think
OF 1t il he was allowed his liberty, Chaun-
cey's reply was: swell, Mr.. Parker, un-
der the circumstances, / would consider
il very charitable act, and will promise
not TO come TO Providence again." The
old man is practically "broke," and this,
he claimed, was due to his kindness to
others.

have been committed. Captain Mathews
testified TO breiking in the door OF Mer-
Iiti's tarber shop ana hnding nim and
two girls there, one OF whom was Florence
Tuck.
The defense was that the Tuck girl is
over 6 years Of age. MIR. Mulholland, ct
torney lor the defendant, cllled for the
first witness officer George 81. Chase,
but ne proved una Die to answer the ques..
tions put 10 him by the attorney. Mrs.

Tuck girl joined her Sunday School
class, and then gave her age as Ia years.
mem bered by the witness was that some

Lawyer Eaton Before Sixth
District Court.
Accused of Keeping Dogs
That Were Not Licensed.
Was Found Guilty and Ordered TO
Pay Ten Dollars and Costs.

Amasa Mason Eaton, the well known
lawyer was fined $40 and costs by Judge
Sweetland in the Sixth District Court
this morning, on the charge of keeping
dogs that were not licensed.
Walter d. Vincent, Esq, who appeared
as counsel for Mr. Eaton, stated very
shortly, after the opening of the trial,
that hts client admitted that his dogs
had not been licensed. A number OF
witnesses were examined, all of whom
testified to the fact that there were
CANNES on Mr.. Eaton's estate, but no
very definite information was ELECTED as
TO the ownerHhip of the animals.
Mr.. Eaton, in his own behalf testified
that when his son was in Cam bridge,
Mass. last spring, the latter requested
him TO go TO the city hall, and ger the
dogs licensed, which the father did. de
supposed that the Licenses had the word
Jr. attached TO the name of Eaton. MIR.
Eaton said he did not own the dogs but
knew they were on his place.
Mr.. Eston's son testified that he was
the owner of the dogs, and when asked
why he did not get them licensed he said
that Ii was his intention TO give them
away, and that he had done SO.
j. Crawford Potter, the dog officer, was
asked by MIR. Vincent to take the stand,
and was asked IL he had been urged 10
bring the complaint. Mr.. Potter was as
"dumb as an oyster" when he said that
he had been notified of the fact that
Mr.. Eaton had two dogs which had not
been licensed and as he was liable to a
fine of s1OO for not attending to his du-
ties when sufficient evidence had been
given he mad TO bring the suit. When
a. ked who urged the suit he said that it
was w. III. Harris Jr. This closed the
case.
Judge Sweetland then announced that
he found Mr.. Eaton guilty on the ground
that he kept the dogs on his place and
fined the defendant go and costs.

DECISION AGAINST HER.
Ruth Harrington viii Now Take Her
Case to Appellate Court.

All the morning sessio on OF Judge
Rogers court was occupied in the consid-
Grafton OF the point raised in the appeal
of Ruth Harrington against the action OF
the Board of Aldermen in ordering her
10 close up a vault, ana also the act of
Superintendent of Health Chaplin in dig
ging out the vault. Colonel Henry j.
spooner, of counsel fer the plaintiff, made
a long argument to the effect that as no
notice was given by tho hoard to Mrs.
Harrington, the action OF the board in
this matter was entirely wrong. City
Solicitor Colwell and Assistant City
Solicitor Baker contended that there was
no necessity for the giving of hearing
before the order was issued, the general
question of the oonstitutionality of the
law compelling parties on streets where
there are sewers connecting their premises
with them. Judge Rogers held the law
was constitutional
Colonel Spooner then argued that the
whole case might be submitted to the
jury as TO the value OF the vault that was
dug out by Superintendent of Health
Chaplin. but Judge Rogers overruled his
claim, and gave decision for the defend
ant for costs. The case will now be taken
to the Appellate Court.
