TEACHERS AND PARENTS.

The training of children at home is
one of the most important duties of
parents. Taken in all its bearings it is
as important that parents properly train
their children as it Is that they furnish
them good clothes and wholesome food.
The training of children in schools
imposes grave responsibilities on teach
ers and the proper training of children
in school involves some things that
perhaps few teachers carefully consider.
"Nemo's" letter to The COMMON
WEALTH this week is packed go full Of
useful hints to teachers and parents
that we urge every parent and every
teacher who may see this paper to read
it carefully. He discusses Education
from a standpoint of chlld-study that
ought to claim the attention of parents
and teachers, and offers suggestions
that are worth remembering. Indeed
that one article is worth the subscrip-
ton price of the paper for one year.

THE CRIMINAL COURT.

The people of Halifax have been
subjected to great Hardship and gross
injustice this week.
The injustice lies in the failure of
the criminal court to hold session this
week. A large number OF jurors and
witnesses were at the court house on
Monday ready to do their duty to the
State, but there was no Judge to hold
court.
This is great injustice to the tax
payers Of the county for conservative
estimate will place the extra cost to the
county at 81, 900. It is an injustice to
the thirty prisoners in Jail waiting for
trial.
We do not attempt to say who is to
blame, for under the circumstances we
can not locate the fault. As we under
stand the statute creating the court two
years ago Judge Meares' term expired
with the conyening of the Legislature.
If that is true the Legislature ought to
have known it and ought to have made
provision for the holding of the court.
However it is, Halifax county has
been imposed upon and every citizen
OF the county has to bear his part Of it.
And yet we are told that this is legis.
latiye reform!

Bell Telephone Company; it will get no
more consideration from me than any
other concern; but If you run COM
pany and pay fifteen per cent commits
sion to get poor people to put their money
IN 1t, then such a proceeding is exceed
ingly discreditable.
If this man Atkinson did that in the
old company, then the sooner the new
officers run him out of the county the
better.''
We complain the company did that"
interposed Mr.. Thompson.
'I'll hear you then on that later said
the Vice Chancellor.
Counsellor Riker, summing up, said
that complaint had also been made as
to the franchise of the company. Such
a complaint, he replied, was intensely
absurd, remembering that the franchise
was for fifty years at per cent assess
ment, while that of the Bell Telephone
Company was for five years at per
cent, and from to Is per cent on q
capitalization three times larger than
that of the Newark company. The man
who drew up the franchise said it was
the best that could be drawn. When the
plant was completed the company only
owed to the Construction Company $l1 !
0O0. The company, he said, had due $500
on current accounts against it and it
had more than enough money in the
ness.
The Vice Chancellor asked Mr. Thomp-
son and the Attorney General if they had
to reply, but counsel said that as they
had not been served with copies of the
defendants affidavits they were not in a
position to reply. A further adjournment
was taken for two weeks.

ATHENS, April %, 1S97--The spirits of

they experienced on receipt of the news
of the retreat of the Greek army from
Larissa to Pharsalos and the talk. of
persevering with the war is more gen

not as critical as at first supposed.

Colonel Manos, the Commander of the

Arta and resume the march upon Janina.
The excitement is increasing in this
city, and Cabinet crisis Is impending
Dispatches received here from Arta,
dated Saturday evening, announce that

there for F'illipiada
Adyices received here from the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press with
the Turks at Larissa say that the quan-
tlty of military stores abadoned by the
Greeks at Tyrnavos and other places
proves that they did not retreat but fled
precfpitately.
The Greek Government has demanded
OF the Directors of the Thessalian Rail-
roads that they continue the service of
the Volo-Larissa Railroad, If the Direc-
tors refuse the government will occupy
the line with troops.
Three steamers have been sent from
here to Volo to bring away the women
and children who have sought refuge
there.
In official circles here it is not believed
that Volo is in danger at present and
the Greek fleet is relied upon to protect
the port in case of necessity.

noon in the Bergen Reformed Church.
The church was filled with children Miss

the response.
The address of the afternoon was made
by the Rev John L. Scudder. He re-

watches, first because they had lots of

be careful to keep their works clean and
bright. The cases don't matter Rich
ness and good clothes are nothing in
value when compared with the works.
Mr.. Scudder then took two bottles and
box of black and white beans. The
white beans, he said, were the good deeds
and the black beans the bad. He ad-
vised each Junior to take bottle and
put white bean in when a good deed
IS done and black when a bad deed
Th1s, he said, would show whether they

ANOTHER HAsrY MARRIAGE.
Wilhelm Wants Freedom Because OF
His W5fass Obstfnacy.

This afternoon was begun before Vice
Chancellor Pitney a singular suit for di-
vorce. 1t was that of B. F. Wilhelm,
who lives with his mother at No. 1928
Ninth street, against his wife, who re-
sides with her parents at No. 219 Fourth
street. The young people were married
by the Rev. Father Mooney of ST. Mary's
R. C. Church, but they separated, so
the husband says, Immediately after the
ceremony, and have never lived together
He has repeatedly, he says, 1mplored her
to come and keep house with him; but
she obstinately refused to have anything
to do with him.
Mrs. Wilhelm, who was formerly Miss
Mary Kate Geraghty, tells a different
story. She says it was by agreement
they lived apart because he had no home
to take her to. Furthermore, his rela-
tives were opposed to the match and to
please them he left her. All that he has
