The Cuban Fiiibuste ring Expedition Pow

One OF the most formidable expeditions
that have sailed from United States
ports for the relief OF the Cuban insur-
gents has, according to secret adyices re-
ceived by Cuban sympathizers In Phiia-
delphia, reinforced the steamship Der.
muda AZ Chincoteague. Va, and the lat
ter vessel has gotten nicely under way on
her warike mission. This latest erpedi-
ton Is now said 20 be In command OF
General De Sofa, who fought before for
the cause OF Cuba in the ten years war.
In this party there are but few men,
These. however. are OF high rank; and
the ammunition. guns, and heavy field
pieces, which they took with them, proba-
bly, constitute the most important OF SIM
liar cargoes that have been shipped from
United states ports for Cuba during thu
war.

Blanche johnson Held for the Grand
Jury.

Jury.
Judge kimban today held Blanche John
son. nfneteen-year-old colored GIRL in
$oOO bonds for the action of the grand
jury on charge Of grand larceny The
girl was arrested yesterday by Detectives
Horne and Weldon, because they had rea-
son to believe that she had purloined a
diamond ring valued at $3.50 from Mrs.
Percy Talbert of No. 2l51 Florida avenue.
The ring was stolen in June, while Mrs.
Talbert was spending the summer near
Kiswick, Va. When arrested the girl claim
ed that she found the ring on the street
in Richmond. Later she said the ring was
given TO her by young man who came
here from Richmond. When the officers
found the owner of the ring and learned
that Blanche had lived with her in Vir-
ginia the girl confessed that she stole il.
and said she thought it was worth only
about 81. The solitaire was Mrs Tai
berts engagement ring and she was pleased
to get 1t back. having long ago concluded
that she would never recover it.
Blanche attended Police Court yesterday
morning and while there she sold the ring
to Bailin Kendig for s.. The bailiff report
ed the sale to the police and the girl was
arrested.
Blanche says that she did not offer the
ring for sale, but that the bailim, who saw
it on her finger. insisted on her selling IL
to him. When he learned that the officers
were going to arrest her he made her re-
turn the money, so that when arrested
Blanche had the ring her finger. She
was locked up until today. when she was
taken to court. Blanche was held also for

HARD-FoUGHT CASE.
The Final Decision in the Struggle
for the Slack Children.


for the Slack Children.
The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court yesterday in the Slack. case,
as reported in The Star. closes long and
determined legal fight for the custody and
guardianship Of two little girls, the chill
oren OF Mrs. Mary Kemble Slack and the
late William Hall Slack.
Mr Slack, 1t will be remembered, died q
little more than a year ago. There had
been unpleasant differences between his
Wlfe ana himself. and when his will was
opened 1t was discovered that he had left
his entire estate to his children. and ap-
pointed their aunt, Mrs. Harriet Addie
Slack Perrine, their guardian and custodian
during their minority. The children had
been separated from their mother for sew
eral ncnths. and as they were in New
Jersey In the custody of their aunt, Mrs.
Slack shortly after her husbands death
sought to recover possession of them in
tnat state by habeas corpus proceedings,
MRS. Perrine having refused to allow her
TO have the little ones. The New Jersey
court finally granted the mother the Gus
tody Of the children. but Mrs. Perrine
evaded that disposition of them by bring
ing them here.
Mrs. Slack then renewed the fight here
for her little ones, filing habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before Judge McComas, and also
contestinS the validity of her husbands S
will Before the habeas corpus proceedings
were nnally determined the grandfather of
the children, the late Major Slack, applied
in the Equity Court for an Injunction to
en1oin all proceedings respecting the Gus
tody Of the children until after the will
case had been disposed of. The injunction
proceedings were heard before Judge Hag-
ner, who granted the injunction, holding
that an ancient English statute, providing
that father might by will dispose of the
custody and guardianship of his minor chill
dren even TO the exclusion Of their mother
was still In force here.
Judge McComaS Paving held his decision
In allegiance, Mrs. Slack abandoned the
contest over her husbands will, and the
injunction granted by Judge Hagner hay
ing been In that way dissolved, she re-
newed the habeas corpus proceedings be
fore Judge McComas. She was unsuccess-
ful, however, and the controversy was
transferred to the Court of Appeals. That
court disposed of the matter last June, and
there Mrs. Slack was successful, the court
awarding her children to her. Mrs. Per-
rine carried the case to the United States
Supreme Court cn a writ of error, but the
Court of Appeals directed the court below
to turn the children over to their mother
meantime, she entering into bond to
abide by the decision of the Supreme Court
This court having now decided that 1t has
no jurisdiction in the n after, the judgme Mt
OF the Court Of Appeals must stand
One OF the results of the controversy was
the repeal by Congress of the ancient stat
ute above referred to.

Triangle VS.. Semi-Colon,

70 the Editor Of The Evening Star:
beg space to answer a communication
which appeared in your paper about a
week since, from a parent who deplored
the fact that his child, pupil of the fifth
grade of our public schools knew the
isosceles triangle, but was ignorant of the
use of the semi-colcn
The communication was short, and ap-
parent1y of little significance, but after
waiting for several days for some cham
pion of the new education to enter the lists
in The defense of the triangle 1 will en-
deavor to take up it's cause since as IT
seems to me. in the short article before
referred to are set forth the fundamental
differences between what is technically
termed the old and the new education
The child, as early as the second grade
meets the triangle, handles the form cut
from paper. learns its name, and forthwith
uses Il. AS a basis for decorative design
1t enters into the composition of drawings
Which have. besides their value as train
ing the hand. and through the hand the
mind and eye of the child to exactness a
real bread and butter value. These de-
signs for wall paper, borders, carpeting
etc, executed by the children in our graded
schools, and embodying as they do the use
of familiar forms, notably the isosceles tri-
angle, stand as the exponent of system
of education which does not limit itself to
the text between two covers of a book but
familiariZes the child with everything in
his environment. Immediately converting
that knowledge into power to do.
In this highly practical age in which we
live, believe We shall all admit that the
system of schools which does not stand for
such training, is radically wrong.
On the other hand, there is the semi
colon, type of the old education, which was
based largely on memoritor work, and de-
manded that the child swallow all sorts of
distractions and theories, to be assmilated
IN later life when a knowledge of the
world. its usages. and a larger intelligence
lent their aid to the process.
The use of the semi-colon is thing too
difficult to be considered with pupils under
the High School age. 1t presupposes q
knowledge Of the structure of our Ian
guage such as no fifth grade pupil can
have acquired. The system of schools that
in the face of this lack in the childs men
tai development, would attempt to teach
him the arbitrary laws for the use Of the
semi colon. would, shall we not admit it? be
radically wrong
Which. then. would you have In your
public schools, the triangle or the semi
colon? PARENT

TO PROTECT VISITORS.
Police and Detective Arrangements
for inauguration.

Police and Detective Arrangements -
for Inauguration.
The police have already commenced ar
rangements looking forward to handling
the crowds during the coming Inauguration
in March. crowd much larger than
the crowd in attendance at the last inaugu-
ration is expected. and it will be necessary
to employ some extra officers to assist in
apprehending the thieves who will natural
ly drift this way in order to make some
good hauls in addition to being being here
to witness the inaugural proceedings. 1t
is not unlikely that Major Moore will make
the usual request of Congress for an ap-
preparation with which to pay the expense
incurred In the employment of the extra
force. Heretofore this money has been
expended in the importation of a number
Of detectives from other cities, in addition
to number Of special policemen, men who
live here. Under the law the employment
of Pinkerton detectives is prohibited, but
this may not prevent the local department
from securing the services of some of :he
brightest men who have served under Pin
kerton. Such men as are really wanted
may sever their connection with this de-
tective agency in order to accept this tenn
porary position, for all the detectives in
other cities are anxious to come here and
be in the big crowd.
Members of the city detective corps Of diff
ferent cities, including Baltimore, Phila-
delphia. Pittsburg. New York and Boston.
as we'll as Chicago and Richmond, are
usually among those who are brought here
to assist In this work. and the same cities
may be called upon this time for assist
ance. Besides these regular officers some
private detectives will be employed. Some
of the specially good detectives are put on
duty about the depots in order to appre-
held the crooks as they arrive, while others
are put about the hotels and public build
lngs. Congress will be asked for an ap-
preparation for this purpose early in the
session. and when this Is made the work
of selecting the extra men will be COM
menced.
