SHE COULDN'T PASS.
Pathetic Incident at the Joseph Mediu
Summer School.


Summer School.
A beautiful, philantbsopic undertake
ing in Chicago is known as the joseph
Medill summer school. 1t is designed
for the instruction and care of poor chill
dren during the summer months, and
the work seems to be largely systematic
recreation and outdoor object lessons
The need of the school is demonstrated
by the fact that the number of applica-
tions has very far exceeded the capacity
of the school. It is related that at the
recent opening Of the session a group
OF 30 boys and girls, with ages averag.
ing 2 years, were asked to write upon
slips of paper the word Eyes" or ''no''
In answer to the following questions
l. We're you ever in the woods? 2. Did
you ever see the lake? g. Did you ever
pick a flower? 4. Were you ever in the
park? 5. Did you ever ride in a wagon
behind horses? 6. Did you ever ride in
car on the railroad?
On examining the answers it was
found that 80 out of 80 had never been
in the woods, 10 had never seen Lake
Michigan, s had never picked flower.
During the writing of the answers one
little girl was found to be crying bit
terly. On inquiry it was discovered
that she had been obliged to anwser
mo" to nearly all the questions and
was afraid she wouldn't pass. " The
secretary of the bureau of charities in
relating the incident said, ''She had
never seen Lake Michigan, never picked
a flower, never been in the woods but
she understood perfectly we'll an exam
nation. "
Surely there is nothing more pathetic
than the fact that in the artificial life
of our cities such conditions as this can
exist, and that little children are robbed
OF what should be their sacred birth
right, free and happy contact with
nature The series of questions asked of
these little girls and boys may well
awaken careful thought, and all whose
childhood experiences enable them to
"pass" should resolve to lend a hand
until there is not single child in all
our cities who has never picked a
flower. Marion Murdoch in Christian

Fishermen Capture One Weighing 1900
POunds-His Many Accomplishments.
The Minnehaha, a Swampscott fish
ing schooner, arrived at Boston recently
with g, loggerhead turtle weighing
about /, 300 pounds. He is II feet from
head to tail and feet from ripper to flip
per. The Minnehaha was returning
from hard luck mackerel fishing trip
off Cape Cod and was on her way in
when the turtle was sighted. about II
O'Clock in the forenoon. At first it was
thought that the queer looking head be-
longed to a sea serpent.
The seine boat was launched and
manned by ten men. 1t was argued that
if it was sea serpent it would pay
better than full hold of mackereI. AS
the men neared the head, which kept
turning nervously, they saw it was a
turtle. Encircling the turtle with the
seine, they dragged him to the vessel,
where, with difficulty, he was hoisted
aboard.
The wharf was crowded with fisher
men and other seafaring men. None had
ever before seen such large specimen.
The turtle, they say, banks like a dog.

foam, and for 90 yards around the edge
OF the base there was big depression.
The ocean beyond this depressed area
was not affected.
The spout passed the Neustria, max
ing sound like escaping steam, which
was heard above the storm by every one
on board, including the firemen at work
in the stokehole. The electricity from
the clouds ran down the sides of the
huge column of water into the sea.
When asttern of the ship, the waterspout
changed it's shape. The upper part
spread out like an umbrella 100 Yards
IN diameter, and the kissing sound in
creased. 1t grew gradually shorter and
thicker until, when about mile from
the ship, it burst, the water falling back
into the sea with a crash that was heard
above the thunder. The misty, um-
brellalike top doated up to the clouds.
While the passengers had been giving
all their attention to the waterspout on
the port bow Captain BRAND had kept
an eye on its companion on the star
board side. This one was so far away
when 1t was first sighted that no one
except the skipper perceived it until
the other had burst 1t was the smaller,
and &c differed from the first in appear
ance. It's top was umbrella shaped and
was some distance below the clouds. It
moved toward the Neustria, but at a
slow rate, When the captain first caught
sight of it, it was about four miles off.
1t came on until it was abreast the
ships bow. Then it veered away to lee
ward, disappearing below the horizon.
Soon after this spout had vanished the
lightning and rain stopped.
There were two passengers who did
not watch the storm and waterspouts.
They were Sutza Francisco and his
wife. Mrs. Francisco was below, and
her husband was with her. Just as the
big spout passed the ship a baby was
born to Mrs Francisco. Captain BRAND
selected Electra for his new passengers
name, Francisco having delegated that
honor to him. New York Sun.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: ''For six years have been a
sufferer from a scrofu1ous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, 1 be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot

and now it is entirely gone. though am

Had 1 only used your S.S.S. long ago,
would have escaped years OF misery

This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out Perma-

Must Stay in Prison.

The argument III the case of the Single
Takers who were before Chancellor Mich
olson on Saturday afternoon last on wr1ts
of habeas corpus, continued until mid
night The heat OF the court room was
oppressive, and the lawyers on both sides
did not present elaborate arguments for
this reason. When attorney Jackson H.
Ralston concluded, the chancellor an
nouuced that he would render decision
at 10 o'clock on Monday morning.
Promptly at that hour the crowd began
vending its way to the court house, and
it was 1890 before Deputy Sheriff Robert
Downs appeared with sixteen of the pris-
oners, Samuel Melville being confined to
his cot in the Jail with heat prostration.
Edward Ridgely aud Beniah Watson, of
counsel for the town, were both on hand.
but neither Mr.. Ralston nor Mr.. Hayes,
the petitioners, were in the
court room. The decision Of the Chan
cellor was as follows
Under the construction of the laws of
this State the Chancellor has no right to
issue a writ of certiorarl The question
in this case is strictly that of habeas cor
pus. In the case of w. H. Keevan. the
Judgment of the alderman as it appears
gu the record, is fatally defective. True,
there is marginal note or entry. There
have beeu cases similar to this decided in
Delaware, but there was always some
thing in the body of the Judgment to
assist in the reference In the present
issue the judgment of the alderman is
aud the prisoner is discharged.
an all the other cases the Judgment is
regular on the face and in accordance
with the charter OF the town. After
careful examination of all the authorities
adduced, and of all the points raised in
there is 10 doubt but that my
decision must be denial of this applica-
ton. and that the prisoners be remanded

The decision was a surprise to many at
first. as it was believed that either all
would be remanded or else the four who
were convicted under the police regula-
tions of the town would be discharged
aud the other thirteen remanded As 1t
is and as Justice Cooper remarked: The
Chancellor in his decision merely re es-
tablished the ratio OF 10 to ="
Keevan himself was surprised, aud,
strange to say, was not happy at being
separated from his companions.

was not satisfactory. The suits III the

About the Peach Crop.

For the present at least the peach crop
is div iding Attentions with politics on the
1 Peninsula as a matter for discussion. The
peach crop is now oil in all of its glory,
but to manv it is rather a disappointment.
/ II is not generally believed that the crop
will come up to the estimate which made
It as large as last year, and the fruit so far
picked IS certainly not up to the grade Of
that OF the past season. Good fruit IS
being picked aud shipped now, but very
little Of il IS as fine as the growers would
like il to be.
More small peaches are seen now than
ever before. Most Of them go to the can
ners aud they bring but small prices
The Gamers can use them better than
any one else, and mere is made by sell
ing such fruit to them than by shipping
it. The hotels in most of the peach
shipping towns are now filled with peach
buyers, and they get most Of the fruit Of
fered. The reason for this is that they
pay we'll for fruit and the grower is saved
the trouble of shipping, and also saved
the ANNOYANCE of duuning commission
merchants for returns. Some standard
commission firms are Of course receiving
peaches on consignment. They are
known to the growers, and can be trusted.
They therefore get what they want for
that reason, but there is no indiscriminate
shipping as there has been at times in the
past.
So far there have been shipped from
the Peninsula over 1000 car loads of
peaches, which means total of about |
], 500. 600 baskets. The average pri e
paid for them has been about rs cents a
basket. The growers have, therefore. I
already received $3.50, 900 for the fruit
shipped. In addition to this the basket
has received about 3 cents
a basket for each one shipped, and other
people have come in for their proportion
IF the sales aud the amount received.
