NEYER SAID 1T.

Yesterdays Register reported Mir. Asher, president of the Board of Idu- cation, as making @ rash and offensive statement concerning the attitude of a member of the Board of Education to- ward the High School, and it was hint ed that the member referred to was MT Betts. Last evening MT Betts re- ceived letter from MT Asher in which MT Asher denied that he had made the statement attributed to him. We are glad that he did not, for such a state ment would have been neither judi cious nor true. MT, Betts has been one of the most faithful and hard working members of the board. He has opin- ions, as he has a perfect right to have, and he has boldness enough to utter them in way which leaves no doubt as to where he stands. If there were more such boldness in the board no harm would be done.
 Perhaps, too, MT. Asher didn't say what he was reported to have said con- cerning the newspapers. As the news papers have been very generous to MT. Asher, it is to be hoped that he has not reciprocated their kindness in the way he is said to have done. If he has he has at least shown ingratitude

COMMUNICATIONS,
The Coming Fourth.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 It is befftting, we think, in every way that the Fourth of July is to be celebrated this year in New Haven.
 Will not parents and teachers in the short time that intervenes instill into the minds of the young children the meaning and the why we celebrate the Fourth of July?
 I have talked with children of Amer ican as well as foreign parents and find to quite an extent, that they are lamentably ignorant, beyond making a big noise, why we celebrate or the meaning of it all.
 We think the young need wise in- struction, that when they come to be the rulers of this splendid country they may realize the glorious inheritance which has descended to them from those who in the cause of liberty gave their lives and endured hardships so bravely.
 So glorious country, should it not be well governed, well taken care of, a resort for people from all parts of the globe? F.

the adjacent bakeries, It fitted up q large room neatly and comfortably and provided good food, It deliberately cX- cluded pies, cake and all trashy stuff, Here is the list of all articles served, and the prices: Bowl of soup and two slices of bread and butter cents; bowl of soup, cents; tea or cocoa, 8 cents; ham sandwich. cents; baked apples, 9 cents; buns, I centS chowders, cents; beef pies, beef stews, 10 cents; beef hash, vegetable hash, 3 cents; fish hash, cents; flshbaIs, cents; Boston baked beans, cents; slice of bread and but ter cents; potatoes and beef 10 cents. Not all of these dishes were served every day, but there was always a va riety and the quality of all was good.
 The experiment has failed because the operatives insist on pie and cake, and will not do without 1t, The res taurant was kept running until it had only one customer, a girl who ate one of the good, wholesome dishes and then went across the street to the bakery for chocolate eclair, Rolled and discour- aged, the company then closed the res taurant, and pie, cake and liberty are again triumphant.

4 RLE PROTEST.

It is not surprising to read that in the City of Brotherly Love the Society of Friends and representatives of the Universal Peace societies are making a vigorous protest against the proposi- ton to introduce military tactics into one of the high schools in that city. They argue that military instruction is inimical to the objects of the public schools, the moral and intellectual ad- vancement of the scholars, and that it would be repugnant to the religious convictions of a large number of the taxpaying citizens of Philadelphia. Moreover, it's results would be to teach boys that war is a glorious thing, "a teaching wide of the truth" one of the Friends says. He asked that children of an impressionable age "be not inn pressed with the show of military dis play; that they shall not be taught by implication that there is anything that is glorious or beautiful about war; and that they shall not learn at the most impressionable stage of their existence that the order and system and beauty they see in military drills are necessa- rily to be inculcated or brought about only by the use of the military sys- tenn"
 This is impressive, but many are of the opinion that the peace question is like the silver question-it can only be adequately dealt with by interna- tional agreement. Until all the nations go into the manufacture of plough shares and pruning hooks it will not be safe for one nation to do it. And until it is safe the Boys brigades may not be as foolish and wicked as they seem to the Society of Friends and the Universal Peace society.

NOT FOREIGN JGN0R1ycr.

The Democratic conventions in Wis consin and Minnesota have declared in favor of the gold standard and against the free coinage of silver. As the Re publicans in these States had previous ly taken the same position, both parties in Wisconsin and Minnesota are now committed to the doctrine of sound money that is really sound. The same thing is true of the Republicans, who are the dominant party, in North Da- kota; the Democrats there have not yet held their convention. The New York Evening Post makes the interesting point that these three States constitute that section of the Union where the foreign element is the largest anywhere to be found, the proportion of the popu- lation whose parents, one or both, were foreigners, being 1869 per cent. in Wis consin, 7542 per cent in Minnesota, and 7S.9S per cent. in North Dakota. Those persons who think that foreign ignor- ance is what threatens the stability of American institutions will do well to contrast the financial history and pres ent position of these three States with the record and attitude of three such States as Kansas, where the foreign element is only 26.7S per cent, Missouri with 4.9S per cent, and Kentucky with but 0.S7 per cent.
 It is but fair to say that foreign ignorance" isn't principally responsible for the silver fraud. Native ignorance and native greed are altogether too conspicuous in it. The attitude of such Foreigners" as the Germans is a very impressive and encouraging feature of the situation.

cloth is worn with this. It is so pretty and so plainly new that 1t is especially worthy of copying, but in the matter of following a chosen costume, remember that to look like a fashion plate is to look very different from what you in tend. To give any one a chance to say, That is Miss - I know her by her dress" that is what you should strive for. Some women who are wearied of all the variety of fashion and who yet desire their attire to have some indi- viduality, dress always in one color or at most allow themselves but two. It is an easy matter, however, for youth to improve on this severe method of at- taining individuality.
 Even veil can be made to give to it's wearer a certain degree of distinct character, the trouble being that this result is gained merely by a trick of wearing the veil, device that if sue cessful will be widely copied, and then all individuality flies to the four winds A current trick is to wear the veil fas- tened only along the upper edge, the lower edge hanging free, which makes the veil like the old time curtain. This puts the veil further from the face and allows the air to blow under it, both points being advantages. When a chiffon veil so worn blows, now close to, now away from, now smoothly against the face, and now in soft folds, one realizes the artistic advantages also. At the same time a veil thus worn does not in itself seem quite so prattiIy arranged nor so well con sid cred and blended a part of the hat as does one drawn into permanent place.

FASHION NOTES.

A Model and Advice for the Copier.
 Pineapple cloth is a material that is greatly favored by purchasers and is shown in so delicate and beautiful a quality that it seems more like some eastern tissue than mere dress goods. The finest lace applies on it without being degraded, and under it coiors take on a delicacy that makes artistic dressing already half accomplished. A very ornate bodice of this material in a light gray shade is shown in the ac- companying picture. Its fronts are covered with embroidery, over which are two rows of cloth straps that are fastened with tiny pearl buttons. Cas- cades of lace fall over the sleeves, lace frills adorn collar and sleeve cuffs, and just above the frills are bands of the goods to harmonize with the bodice straps. A plain skirt of the pineapple

LIBERTY IND DE4TH.

The cry of liberty in Newark, New Jersey, just now is not Give us liberty, or give us death, but Give us pie and cake, even with dyspepsia and death. The employees of the Clark Thread con- pany in Newark are representing lib- erty in their clamor for pie and cake. They have been offered other things considered by some to be better than pie and cake, but they want pie and cake, and they prefer to die with them rather than live without them. And as this is the true American spirit of course it is all right

He is the only gen. eral officer in France who obtained the medal while in the ranks. He was rap idly promoted under the empire be- coming Brigadier- General just before the outbreak of the war with Germany. He was turned out Of the army with the Orleanist Dukes by General Bou- langer in 1886, and though he was re- stored to his rank by the Conseil d'Etat on his showing that he was not a member of the Bonaparte family, he was never afterward employed on ac- tive duty.

The employment of chain gangs in the construction of highways is in vogue in about thirty counties of South Carolina, and in most cases with satis- factory results. The cost of introduce ing the system alone deters other coun- ties from adopting it. It is not profita- ble except when the most improved road machinery is employed. In Rich land county it is hoped before the close of the year to have fifty miles of high way near Columbia in excellent condi- tion. It is estimated that it costs the county from s350 to $4 month for the support of each convict at work The taxpayers seem to be very well satisfied with the investment, and the farmers have repeatedly thanked the county boards for the introduction of the system.
