THE USES OF RESPONSIBILITY.

Every mother should remember that
the making of her daughter is of far
greater Importance than the admins
tration of things in her house, and
every daughter should realize that she
can learn to avoid mistakes only when
she sees them. She enjoys most see
ing her mothers mistakes and resolv-
ing that when she has house she will
never do So" A beginning may be
made with a small and comparative
ly unimportant responsibility, and ii
is to be remembered that responsible
ty, and not mere work, is the great
thing. The very little girl may have
the care of one plant, hardy one to
begin with, but system and neatness
may be practiced in its care to great
advantage. If the plant should be a
blooming one a small vase for the
breakfast table would give an addi-
tional bit of care and pleasure to both
child and parents. Regularity, thor
oughness, quietness in labor may be
practiced under a wise mothers influ-
ence till they become a part of her
daughters characteristics. Lyman
Abbott in August Ladies' Home Jour
nal.

MISS SCOFIELD DEAD.
WHILE IN THE MIDST OF A REOI-
TATI0N SHE PASSES AWAY.
Was Teaching in the Normal School
When the Messenger Came-Fac-
ulty and Scholars Horri->
fed and the School
Dismissed.

A very sudden, trsgicsl and
sad death occurred &C the high
school this morning at 9 :l5 o'clock.
The deceased was Miss Jane SEQ.
field, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. J.
Scofeld Of West End, and one OF
the most efficient mem bers Of the
high school faculty.
Miss Scofleld was a member of
the faculty Of the San Antonio
normal school, which has been in
session at the high school build.
ing for the past three weeks. The
session was to end tomorrow. Miss
Scofield has been teaching history,
civil governments and English and
American literature.
Her history class has been recit.
Ing at the second period, com.
mencing at s As O'Clock, but that
study was finished the latter part
OF last week. This morning Miss
Scofield, at her request, relieved
Prof. Bruce, the conductor of
the class in mental science, and
1t was Ia the midst of>a lecture
on psychology when she expired.
She had just finished explaining to
her class the difference between
spperception and perception and
had glanced at her note book to
continue the lecture. She was
asked . question by one of the
scholars, but 1t was not answered.
A few seconds afterward she was
seen to fall. The class was horri-
fed and rushed to her assistance.
Miss Scofield has been working ex-
ceedingly hard during the session
Of the school which has
been made doubly fatiguing on
account of the heat and 1t
was first thought that she had
simply tainted. Her face was
bathed in water and all assistance
possible rendered her, while one
Of the students went for a physi-
clan. DR.. Psschal responded to the
call, and arrived a few minutes
afterward, but was too late to be Of
any service, as she was dead.
Previous to the arrival OF the
Dhysiciar, the lady's chest was
seen to wise once or twice, and her
eyes open. 1t was thought by some
that che was recovering, but the
glaze of death was in the eye. She
never spoke and was no doubt
dead when she fell. Death was
caused by heart disease.
Prof. Bruce announced the death
to the other scholars, and amidst
tears and intense sorrow, the
school was dismissed for today.
The affair cast q deep gloom over
the entire school, for during even
the short time, the deceased has
endeared herself to the students by
her pleasant ways, the excellent
and most efficient manner In which
she has conducted her recitatiops,
giving freely the grains of gold in
her large storehouse of informa-
ton. She was a brilliantly edu-
Gated woman whose intellect was
something to be admired.
She has been indefatigable in
her efforts in assisting those teach.

Unique sunday Th.ft perpetrated by q
BibulOus New Yorker.

New York, March 1S.--New York has
had of late some daring burglaries.
Whole houses, or parts of them, have
been carried away, without leaving a
clew. 1t remained, however. for John
Meehan, of Stanton street, to cap the
climax for originality. He is alleged
to have last night stolen an undertake
ing wagon containing an empty casket
prepared for burial Meehan managed
yesterday to become somewhat intoxi-
Gated. He walked along Cherry street
at 8 o'clock, and in front of No. 1870
saw the undertaking wagon of G. j.
Mccormick.
The driver was upstairs waiting for
the undertaken to arrive. Just then a
friend, who could see Meehan and go
him several times better in the way
of encouraging Sunday excise viola
tions, happened along, and the two men
got on the wagon and rode away, Nee
han driving. They drove to Water
street, where they ran into the curb
and lamppost and almost upset the
wagon. half spilling the casket out
Then they abandoned the rig. Several
hours later Meehan was arrested. He
declares he wasn't drunk, but took the
hearse and coffin. believing he might
thus make a worlds record.
