Without bit of scenery or a particle
of costuming, he reproduces David,
Steerforth, Peggotty. Micawber, Heep,

THE complaint has been made for
years that there are too many fads
in the public schools, and II is a rea-
sonable one. Life is too short to
learn everything, especially when
much of the learning Of the schools
is absolutely useless lumber so far as
being worth anything practically is
concerned. How will it help a child
morally, how aid him to earn his
bread, to be able to parse without a
break a whole page Of blank verse or
to solve with the rapidity of light
ming calculator the Chinese puzzles
in arithmetic which teachers sit up
nights to invent? The average school
child must go to work at II to Il
years .old. 4 good knowledge of
reading. writing, arithmetic and ge-
ography, with thorough under
standing of the history and govern
ment of his own country, are the
scholastic attachments the most
needed.

THORNTON A CRUSHED TRAGEDIAN
Atlanta Managers Won't Rent Him a
Theater Again.

HS1Ans
Atlanta Ga, April 1.-Scott Thornton,
the alleged tragedian, of local fame, broke
out at the Columbia theater tonight again
and created another riot, the second this
week. This was however, the last time
that Thornton will be seen before the
footlights in this city He has become too
serious an issue with the management of
the theaters, and they have announced
that they will not allow the use of their
houses again for his performances. The
mob that takes possession of a house
when he appears does great damage to
the scenery and furnishings and Mana
ger Deceive of the Grand and Columb ia
and Manager Michael of the Lyceum
have decided to boycott the wild TRACE
dian in the future.
The scene tonight was even worse than
on Monday night. A number of arrests
were made during the performance, sew
eral persons being dragged out of the
the throwing of missiles at the actors
and the explosion of torpedoes on the
stage
Thornton to-day gave a parade which
came near precipitating a riot in the
streets. Dressed in the costume of Cardi-
nal Richelieu, and drawn by four white
horses he was driven about the city,
led by brass band in gaudy uniform. A
squad of mounted police was detailed to
accompany the turnout, and the pres
ence of these officers was all that kept
the crowd under control. To-day the
people engaged in Thornton's performance
of Monday night began suit in a justice S
to be due them for their services before
the footlights and which the alleged &C.
centric tragedian will not pay them, al
though he played to standing room only.

consideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. with the exception of the

gestion of Mr.. Hainer, rep, of Nebraska,

ton. So it is among the strong probabili-
ties that the bill will not be finally disposed
Of until late tomorrow. The only material
amendment made to the bill to-day, aside
from the one relating to Howard Unlver-
sty, was one directing the Secretary of
War to expend $4,000 at the new military
post established at Spokane, Wash.
The discussion of the bill was inter-
rupted several times by political interjec-
ions. Mr.. GrOSVenor, rep, of Ohio
charged the Wilson tariff law with being
responsible for the condition of the treas
ury, which forbade many necessary APP
pIopr.ationS from being made.

pied, charging the onus of the present con-
cltlon upon the republican party and the

COUNTY TAxEs NOT COLLECTED.
Peculiar Negligence ON Some
bOdy's Part at Atlanta.

Atlanta Ga, April 1T was developed
at a meeting of the board of county COM
missioners to-day that for years past
the county has been losing a considerable
portion of its legitimate income on ac-
count of the non-collection of the county
tax on wholesale liquor dealers. out of
eighteen wholesale dealers, only three paid
last year, the net loss to the county be-
ing over $1,000 per year. It was also dis
closed that by the same negligence, the
county tax of IS on each theatrical per-
Torrance has not been collected for years.
Considering that the theaters average
about 800 performances a year, the loss
from this source has been considerable.
Steps were taken to correct this misman-
agement and force the collection of these
taxes in the future. Nobody appears to
know who is responsible for the slack
