THE SCHOOLMASTERS RECEPTION
Twenty-seven years of uninterrupted
service in any capacity is long period.
We should think 1t would seem especially
long at the schooolmaster's post Of duty.
Principal RUSSELL of Bridgh ham school
must have regarded the big Assem- blage
that welcomed him at Infantry Hall last
evening with strange, II altogether pleas
ant emotions A few OF them are today
his boys and girls In the famous old
b righam school and the rest OF them had
been his pupils, and ell that were there
were not all there were We take 10 the
occasion must have newly impressed on
the graduates the obligation to the
schoolmastcr which every American boy
comes to recognize through more often
than not only after he is at a safe time
and distance from the rod And Prinoi-
pal RUSSELL, as he looked over the COM
pany, had aright to take to himself good
deal OF pride and qualification at the evi-
dence that his responsibility to the city
and state and to all the folk with whose
Infringing up" he has been so Importantly
identified, had bcen we'll borne, that the
results demonstrated efficiency and con-
sciencious endeavor through all the years,
and that the tribute given him was the
highest possible assurance that his work
VISA recognized and endorsed by those
best qusliii'd to pass upon I: and to make
compliment sincere.

SAILOR ANDERSON.

I'VE will not undertake to conceal a

sense for the peace of the community
and that the ends of justice may not be

awakens the sort of admiration we
feel for him and here make known
against our better judgment and at the
risk of being held up to reprosch as a
glorifier OF roughs and constructor OF
heroics from the personnel of the prison
pen.
BERNT ANDERSON may not be desir-
able member OF polite society nor would
we be understood ss seeking to hold him
up as a model to youth. But he has his
strong points just rs better men have
their weak points. Besides, he is pic

A PURE MILK MILKMAN.

We took occasion the other day to quote
from the report OF the Stale Board OF
Health the attempt OF the secretary OF the
board TO secure for bis family regular
supply OF milk that was fairly free from
bacteria and that was reasonably clean.
The experience, VIII CHI resulted in fall
ure. would have been ludicrous had II not
had so serious a significance.
We quoted also the statement of Secre-
tary SwARTs that the board hoped ct no
distant date TO secure the establishment
of model dairy farms, that would guaran-
tee the kind OF milk he and everybody
else wants and that it appears, none Vi
all the thousands of milk users in the
city OF Providence can now be sure they
get. And we expressed the opinion that
the milk farmers who were longheaded
enough 10 first take the hint thus
given by DR.. SwARTs would find IL to
their profit.
Yesterday cur news columns oore the
interesting and welcome intelligence hat
one farmer has been encouraged to try to
furnish pure and clean milk. He is, we
are informed, "willing to give i: trial
for a year, at least, to see what there is
L. Il l.
and his farm is in Johnston and II is
significant OF the conditions that rule our
milk supply, that Farmer PEcKAM regards
the furnishing OF pure and clean milk as
something of hazardous experiment.
lie is to be commented for undertaking
will ever bo sorry. AS near as we can
iind out the fortunate residents at the
palatial poor-house at Cranston arc at
present about the only persons herea bouts
who are served with milk OF guaranteed
purity and cleanliness, and we are sure
that.farmer Peckham will find no diff
Guilty in getting profit paying custom
for his product from the populous terri
tory that lies at his door. He proposes
for beginning to supply 200 quarts at
ten cents quart, but we guess the de-
mand will soon make that quantity far
too small. The price seems excessive, but
so long as Mr.. PECKHAM has the monop-
oily he can make sss own price and plenty
OF people will cheerfully pay IT until
other milk farmers go into the field of
furnishing pure and clean milk, when
competition will naturally result in re-
ducing the price, and the experiment,
being no longer a risk, farmer PECK
HAM and all the other farmers who try it
will be able to do plenty OF business and
earn from ii q reasonable profit.

IT IL significant that England, the birth
plaee.of JENNER, Is paying no attention
TO the, centenary OF vaccination and En-
gland knows more about the practice
than any country on earth. One OF these
days when the Judiciary committee of
tho Rhode Island General Assembly
comes to know as much about vaccination
~ 1t does about the statutes, the compuI-
cory vaccination law will be abolished.

sENATE's EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Cuba Not Referred to-vioIation of
HOme-Huie prIncipIe.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March lS.-lt
was thought that when the Senate went
into executive session this afternoon the
Cuban question would be taken up. Mr..
Sherman earlier in the day referred 10
certain secret documents that had been
given to the Committee on Foreign Re
lations. presenting the side OF Spain, and
said that upon these the committee ha
based its judgment, and the report II
had made 10 the Senate. MIR. Hoar and
others asked that these matters be laid
before the Senate In executive session,
so they might be made aware of the
contents. too. Mr.. Sherman expressed his
Willingness, and this led to the belief
that the matter would come up
Cuba was not referred 10. however,
when the doors were closed There Is good
reason for believing that the secret docu-
ments OF which Mr.. Sherman spoke are
nothing but presentation OF the Spanish
side of the question. prepared by Min

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-03-14

It Is not believed a. the War Department
that any of the officers who made suen
application desired TO take part In the
present hostilities, i was deemed best TO 10
keep them away from HaDana- Ihere
were several reasons for this. IL was
thought that the Spanish Governmentt NJ
might be suspicious OF the presence ol
United States army officers In the per-
turbed section, and L was feared tnat
the feeling against this country might
lead TO Incidents In which these army
officers might be involved, that would be
decidedly embarrassing TO the govern
ments at Washington and Madrid. IL Is
obviously impossible that any American
army officer could have visited Cuba under
these conditions without his presence be-
ing promptly reported.
1t is also learned that permission 20 go
10 Bermuda and other British fortified
positions near the United States coast
has been refused to United States army
officers since Mr.. Cleveland's Venezuelan
message was sent 10 Congress. The rea-
son for this IS obvious. American officers
might be held In distrust as persons seek
ing information about the British fortih-
cations. and the War Department did not
propose to take any chances.
