IN AID OF KINDERGARTEN
Mrs. Washburn Gives IL Pleasant Re-
ceptiOn at Fair Oaks.

The reception which Mrs W. D.
WaShburn gave yesterday afternoon at
Fair Oaks, for the Kindergarten as
ISOLATION, and Miss Stella Wood the
new principal of the training school,
added one more to the chaplet of lau-
rels which crowded the week of social
affairs. The acceptance of invitations
was very large and there was an en-
thusiasm expressed which the women
of the kindergarten association choose
to believe augurS well for the enter
prise in which they are so warmly in
terested. While the reception was ex-
tended as a social event, it had some
thing edifying to offer the 800 and more
guests who thronged the drawing
rooms and halls. The special object Of
the association is to incite new interest
in kindergaTtens with the ultimate aim
in view OF securing place for them In
the public school system. The pres
ence of DR.. G. M. Jordan, superin-
tendent of the schools, among the WIS.,
itorS, was recognized with pleasure.
In response to invitation, Prof. d. l..
Kiehle, of the pedagogical department
in the university, was also present and
gave expression to encouraging views
on the kindergarten question. Mrs. I.
G.. Winter, president of the associa-
ton, spoke of the petition which the
kindergarten association Is bringing be-
fore the board of education in the hope
Of effecting an entrance in the public
schools. The association makes prop
osition to the board to take charge Of
a room for one year. provide the trained
@ Undergraduates, furnish the material,
and assume direction Of the kinder
garten, if it will allow the room and
privilege. 1t is the purpose Of the as
ISOLATION to bring the matter to a head
at as early g. date as possible, and
hopes to make a start this year. After
the address the company adjourned
from the parlors to the tea rooms,
where Mrs. Washburn, Mrs. w D.
Washburn Jr., Mrs. ]. A Sanford, Mrs.
J. T. Garland Mrs. Winter, Miss Wash
burn, chairman of the newly organized
auxiliary to the association, Miss Cros-
by and other members of the organiza-
ton, dispensed hospitality A prettily
laid tea table offered refreshment and
for an hour or more there was pleasant

ture.
st. Louis Republic.
The art of dwarf1ng trees, as com
monty practiced in both China and
Japan, is, in reality, simple and very
easily understood being, as it is, based
on one of the commonest principles of
vegetable physiology. Anything which
has tendency to check or retard
the flow Of sap in the trees naturally
prevents the formation Of new wood.
This process of retarding wood growth
is done in many different ways BY
pruning, SO as to prevent leaves from
forming and giving the tree health and
vlgor; by combining the roots in a small
place; by withholding water; by bend
ing and twisting the branches. and
by half hundred other processes,
which all proceed from the came prin-
ciple. In dWarfing trees the Chinese
and japanese gardeners are careful to
always choose specimens which are
naturally stunted, particularly if they
happen to have branches opposite or
regular, for it must be understood that
a one-sided tree has no value in the eve
of the artistic Oriental tree dwarfer.
When tree has been chosen. its main
stem and roots are twisted in a zigzag
form (Which process is intended to
check the flow Of sap. The pots in
which they are planted are narrow and
shallow, so that they hold but a small
quantity of soil compared with the
wants of the plant, and no more water
Is given them than is necessary to
sustain life

this kind Of treatment for q while.

final announcement made yesterday at the

versity was not granted; California was laid
on the table. and Tufts was fatty refused.
A request from Albion college had been
presented but was withdrawn by the petit
TONERS before final action was taken. Of
all the requests for chapters which were
presented, that from Madison was the only
successful one, and this really granted
before the convention convened as the new
Wisconsin chapter was installed Monday
evening.

were granted. One of these is for the New
York City Alumnae association and the other
was granted to alumnae residing for the
most part in the Twin Cities, who will or

The Contents of 5000 sermons.

London Spectator.
Rev Arthur Robins, chaplain Extraordinary
to the queen and chaplain to the Prince Of
Wales and to the household troops, preached
on Sunday last his five thousandth sermon
in Windsor, and his parishioners, in ceIebra-
ton of the occasion, presented him with a
complete set Of clerical robes. We should
like to know Mr.. Robins own reflection on
his long career OF exhortation. Does he look
back on 1t with complacency, or with humili-
alton. or with some mixture Of the two emo
tons? If he has kept anything like a simple
and natural mind throughout the fifty years
or so during which he, has probably been
preaching. he must be, as very possibly he
is, a man of great force Of character. for
nothing sooner succumbs to the spirit of
routine than the habit Of telling my dear
brethren what they ought to think or feel
in relation to their fellow creatures and their
God. Think of the saying that for every idle
word you utter you shall be accountable at
the day of judgment. and consider how many
idle and ill-considered words there must gen.
orally be in 5000 sermons. 1t must be a
pathetic If not a terrible retrospect But we
may hope for the great majority of preachers
the penance will at least be very lenient. We
hope SO. or we journalists should probably be
left in an even worse predicament than the
preachers.

ates a supreme power for its enforcement
when violated in every corner Of the country
that it covers? The gentleman who runs as
the presidential candidate on the Populist
platform Of Chicago (appiause) In every
speech that he makes, attempts to identity
the great name and memory and authority OF
Jefferson with the heresies that he is pro-
claiming. That is notnew.1 When the heresy
of notification, which is renewed and de-
clared in that platform, first appeared In 1882,
it then the name of Jefferson. On the ami
versary of Jefferson's birth, in 1892 a BAN
quet was held in Washington city. At one
end of the table sat john q. calhoun, OF
South Carolina; at the other, Andrew jack
son. of Tennessee, president of the United
States, leader of the American Democracy.
Calhoun arose at his end of the table and
proposed toast to the memory OF Jenerson;
Speaking to that sentiment he first exploited
the purpose of South Carolina to identify
Jefferson with ratification. When he sat
down, up rose rugged Andrew Jackson, and,
holding high his glass of red wine in that
hand which had held the sword of command
at the battle of New Orleans uttered the
phrase, which, from that hour until now, has
been the inspiration of American manhood
and of Democratic patriotism: s'The federal

Daniel McCIe1land's Death Believed
to BE Not Suicidal

The body of Daniel McClelland was found
yesterday in room at the Windsor house.
The room was filled with gas. Evidence
showed that the man had been dead for some
1ime, probably thirty-six hours. Deputy
Coroner Nye was summoned and had the re-
mains taken to the county morgue.
Thursday night McClelland came to the
hotel and registered from Escanaba, Mich.
He went to his room late in the evening
and was not seen until yesterday morning
when the door was broken open and his body
found in the bed The gas jet was turned
on full. The deputy coroner believes that
death was not suicidal McClelland was 80
years, and was we'll dressed. Besides s2.S5
which was found in his pocket, there were
two pieces of paper one of which read:
go to Bixby, MINI. Inquire for John John
son, eleven miles west.
The other read:

The next and principal speaker Of
the evening, John p. Irish, of San
Francisco was Introduced by Chair
man Winston as the ''silver tongued
orator of California;, and in his speech
he proved his right to such a title. IT
was 9 o'clock when Mr. Irish COM
menced his address and for two hours
and fifteen minutes he continued.
during which time no one left the hall.
In part Mr.. Irish said:
Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, my
fellow citizens of Minnesota: I am here as
are the two venerable, vigorous and distin-
guished Democrats who have preceded me,
to stand by the old faith, and to declare
the old creed to my countrymen.
It is a mistake to suppose that the OBJ
lection which Democrats have to the Popu-
list platform of Chicago relates to its free
coinage plank alone. l say to you in perfect
frankness and truthfulness, that If were In
favor Of free coinage Of silver at a ratio
of 16 to /, or any ratio, would still believe

pose the Chicago platform and the men who
stand upon it. Applause)
There are other questions than the merely
sordid considerations that arise in that single
plank of that pernicious platform. There
are questions raised in that platform which,

struction of every foundation which under

So my objection runs not to the free coinage
plank alone; it runs to the sinister threat
woven into that platform against the dearest
rights and privileges of American citizenship.
We will find merely sordid considerations and
material things of but little value to us who
prize our liberties when those liberties are
gone. OF what avail are pillow, and sale of
land, and life, If freedom fail? And that
platform strikes at the foundation Of freedom
and threatens it's destruction.
