White People Withdrawn from Study
Under Negro Teacher.

CHICAGO, Feb Bin the withdrawal
of white pupils, because a colored teacher
has been put in a school room the board
of education has problem to face which
seems likely1to create acrid discussion
Samuel I. Jacobs not only asked but OBJ
tanned permission yesterday for his
daug liter to leave the Keith school, Dear
born and Thirty fourth streets, and to go
TO the Raymond school, Wabash avenue
and EdR street.
Mr.. Jacobs letter of request read as
follows:
"Lately there has been a colored teach
er placed in charge of the room in which
my daughter is studying. Why cannot
the board of education provide schools
for the colored people, especially in the
fhickly populated districts? The colored
people have their own churches, they
should have their own schools. / do not
want to cast any reflections on the col
ored people as a race, but l do not believe
that God ever intended the white and
the colored race to intermingle in soci
ETY.. l believe the familiarity Of the
white and colored people commenced
during school life is responsible for the
majority of the intermarriages of the
races, which l do not believe was ever
intended"

NO SUPPORT.
Mexican National Exposition VIII Be a
Failure.

Failure.
Neither the citizens of Mexico nor the
federal government seems inclined to give
financial assistance to the Mexican inter
national exposition, and many merchants
who are able to contribute literally to tho
project regard it with Indifference, and
some with semihostility, fearing that it
will be the means of introducing large
quantities of goods which will be sold at
low prices.
The Mexican Herald reviewing the
present situation, says: "There seems to
be a great amount of apathy in business
circles regarding the enterprise, and other
people, unaccustomed to any manifesta-
ton on large scale of individual initia-
tive, are not coming forward in support of
the exposition. This lack of encourage
nent, accompanied by the lack of support
from the national government in f1nan-
cial way, throws it back into the category
of q purely private undertaking, and rem
ders the chances of success problematical.
The cooperation of the states of America
has been sought and has been given in the
belief that Mexico in it's national capacity
was behind the undertaking. If the expo
sition is to go forward, it should be lifted
out of the category of ordinary business
ventures. Rocky Mountain News.

BOOKS AND BONDS.
They viii BE Discussed at the Board
of EducatiOn Meeting Tonight.

Of Education Meeting Tonight.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the school board tonight the school book
question will again come up for discus
sion in the matter of retaining the Har-
per's Fifth readers for supplemental
reading.
At the meeting of the board in Janu-
airy when the board threw out the
McGuffey's Fourth and Fifth readers
and accepted Mr.. Cranes Excelsior
readers nothing was said about the Har-
per's Fifth readers which have been used
all along for supplemental reading.
Mr.. Crane. however, included the
Harpers in the list for exchange, and
President Jesse Shaw said today that the
board would probably object to it.
The schools are still using McGuffsy's
First, Second, and Third readers of the
American Book company.
Another thing that will appear tonight
will be the report of the finance COM
mittee on the matter of refunding the
$4,000 of board of education bonds the
state holds and which were due on
January 1st. These bonds bore six per
cent interest. The bonds will be refund
ed tonight, but the interest will be re-
duced as much as possible.

PRESIDENT KRUGER.

Was Born In Africa and Has No ReIa-
tives In This Country.
A great many stories have been circu-
lated during the past few days concerning
the birthplace of President Paul Kruger
of the Transvaal. Some of the statements
published have located his early home at
Hazleton, Pa, and ste , / that he ran away
to sea when he was 10 years old.
The latest story is from Indianapolis.
It is to the effect that David and Andrew
Haywood, Charles and Henry Roney, also
Charles and Joseph Kruger, all of that
city, are nephews of the Transvaal presi-
dent; that their father, wealthy con-
tractor of Indianapolis, was brother of
President Kruger, who was born in Penn
sylvania, and when a lad ran away from
home and went to sea.
All such stories are incorrect. President
Kruger was born in the Orange Free
State, near Bloemfontein. He has made
the assertion several times to Americans
at Johannesburg that all of his family and
relatives were born in the Orange Free
State and Transvaal, and that he positive
ly has no relatives outside of those South
African countries. Enquirer

This table of American leads is to whist
what the multiplication table is to arith-
metic. Tho novice should study it in all
its suggested relations. Not one lead is
there but it is founded upon both natural
logic and practical convention. If they
are modified-and every beginner should
look forward to the time when, as an ex-
pert, he can criticise and improve the con-
ventions from the results of his own ex-
perience in whist strategy-itw will be from
tho artificial rather than the natural side.
In short, every lead in whist has both a
deductive mathematical and inductive
or strategicaI justification. The logic of
the former will be taken up in the next
article. DIEDRICH.

FOR LOVERS OF WHIST.

The PRINCIPAL AMERICAN LEADS.

Choice of Leading Cards Based on
Logic and Con venfiOn-TheF Former
MafhematicaI Reason and I'm
ehan$eabIe-TheM Matter StrateSicaI
and Susceptible of modification.
After the choice of suit to be led has
been decided upon the most important
question in whist follows, (Which card
shall play of the suit?'' If it were not
for the constant necessity of giving in
formation to your partner Of the state of
your hand, the problem of chances would
very easily settle the question according to
strict mathematical laws. Where suits
were long, commanding cards would be
led; where Short low ones, in order to give
your partner chance to play his best cards
and SO aid you in establishing yours In
deed the general rule is preserved, but the
system of imparting information renders
the matter Of leading much more complex.
Without dwelling upon the history of the
development of whist leads, suffice it to
say that, through such discarded masters
as Hoyle and somewhat discredited ones
as Pole, the great English authority Hem
ry Jones "Cavendish') and Trist and
other Americans have elaborated a sys-
tenn eliminating in what is known as the
American leads Each lead obeys the
following general laws:
First.-That, when understood by the
partner, it is the safest possible.
Second.-Tha5 it conveys a twofold in
formation to tho partner: (a) OF the ma
ture of the combination led from; OBJ OF
the number of cards led from.
From these laws follow the general
rules:
First.-That when it is proper to lead a
low card (any one less than the ten spot)
this should always be the Fourth Best one
in the suit, as originally constituted-e. e,
with acc, queen, 2, 6, 5. After leading the
ace, follow with the 6, the Fourth Best
counting the ace originally held, not the
5, the Fourth Bsst under the immediate
conditions.
Second.-When you open suit with a
high card-any one above a nine spot
and remain with two high Indifferent
cards, lead the high to show four, the low
er to show five.
Third.-On tho second round, after lead
of a low card, lead tho commanding one,
or, failing that, the compelling one (next
highest to the master card) or falling
both, the Fifth Best in suit of five or more,
the lowest in shorter suits.
The American leads, because of the in
tervention of the principle of imparting
information, disregard the first part of the
natural rule of leading from the top of
sequence Succession of Indifferent carCls)
and following suit from the bottom of the
same.
In the following table, adapted from
"Multum In Parvo,' an excellent con-
densation from 1.-The Gist of Whist, by
Charles E. Coffin, the capitals are the in
itials of tho names of cards-A for ace, E
for Fourth Best, etc. The table is in
tended for leads in both trump and plain
suits The leads in starred combinations,
however, are for plain suits alone. For
trumps in. these cases lead Fourth Best,
except you have seven or more in suit,
when you lead as in table.

The Corpuso1o of Aristocracy.

A we'll known Philadelphia physician is
in a fair way to greatly increase his al
ready large income through a discovery
which he claims to have recently made.
The doctor comes of good old stock and is
quite figure in PhiIadelphia's most ex-
elusive society. His discovery, brought
about by experiments made upon his own
person, is nothing less than the existence
of distinct and separate corpuscle of blue
blood. When the results of his researches

be overrun by Sons of the Revolution,

similar patriotic organizations in which

New Punching Bog.

A big sporting goods house in New
York has on exhibition new punching
bag which ought to be popular with men
who want something of that kind just for
exercise. 1t wouldn't do for professionals,
but for amateurs it is likely to be quite
satisfactory. Instead of being suspended
from the ceiling the bag is supported by
stout hickory pole Tho pole rests in
coiled steel spring, which is set in a big
circular iron base which weighs about 100
pounds The return of the bag after a
blow is moro forceful than that of bag
suspended under wooden disk, but it is
not quite so thick In other respects, the
bag acts just like one suspended from the
ceiling. The beauty of the new contriv-
ance is that it can bo used anywhere. 1t
can be set up in any room, or in the hall
of even a small fiat, where there would
never be room for the big striking board
of the old kind.

A STUPID HOUSEWIVES.
Tries to Victimize Henry Lodge a
Second Time.

W. S. Childs. middle aged white man,
is in the county Jail on the charge of
horse stealing. His base of operations
was Kansas City aud he would go out to
surrounding towns, hire a horse and
buggy at livery stable and then drive
them to Kansas City and dispose of them.
In 1899 he came to Topeka and hired
horse and buggy of NJ. Peterson who
has livery stable at 522 Jackson street.
He was never heard of. He thought he
had been forgotten, So November 81, he
came back and hired a horse and buggy
of Henry hodge and disappeared A
few days ago he was arrested in Kansas
City for stealing overcoats and Chief
Wilkerson saw from the description that
he was the horsethief wanted in Topeka.
He brought him back and the horse,
buggy aud harness were recovered and
turned over to Mr.. Lodge.
