AsCARRAGA HAD TO RESIGN.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
London Standard says that the
Queen Regent profoundly surprised
Gen Ascarraga by leaving him no
alternative but to resign as Pre-
mier of Spain. She said that she
had patiently waited two months
after the death of Canovas in the
hope that the new government
would correct the evils OF admins
trative scandals and abuses. In its
failure to do so she took it upon
herself to consult Gen. Canovas and
others as to the best means OF paci-
flying Cuba by an endeayor to sat
isfy the autonomists, and thus vir-
tually to steal q march ON Ameri-
can diplomacy. All the statesmen
whom she consulted appear to
have advised d Liberal Cabinet as
the best means of attaining the
Queens wishes. Thereupon her
majesty thanked Gen. Ascarragas
for his services as Minister of War,
aud intimated her intention Of
appointing Senior sagasta as Pres
dent of the Council.

Two Pension Cases.

~ N unexpected ruling has been
"A made by the pension depart
ment in the case of the widow
of an Illinois veteran An Investigation
of her claim disclosed the fact that she
is the owner of fifty-one acres of land,
worth $3.50 an acre and distant only
twelve miles from Chicago. From this
farm she derives a net annual income
of 5000. In addition she owns a house
worth $4,000. which is clear Of incum
brances. The only one dependent upon
her is a. daughter, who is capable of
seIf-support Upon learning these facts
the department rejected her claim on
the ground that the widow is not de-
pendent upon daily labor FOR her live
lihood Undoubtedly hundreds, if not
thousands of pensions, have been
granted in similar cases where the
claimants were abundantly able to pro-
vide for themselves.
But more marvellous than the ruling
in the case of the Illinois widow is the
action of the Rev. 7. ]. Keith. Of Vim
cennes. Ind, who not only refuses a
pension allowed him but actually re-
turns the money he has already re-
ceived, which is only $4.l4 short of an
even $500 His explanation is that the
pension was not we'll based, and he
cannot conscientiously receive il.
Brother Keith has set an example which
might. could and should be followed by
hundreds of other pensioners. hut which

think. Rightly considered. honesty
ought not TO be regarded as Il disgrace
TO any man. Many things can be said
in its defense. If Diogenes. for in

Mr. Keith. he would feel warranted in

NO ONIONS IN HER SCHOOL.
Kansas Teacher Deprives Her Pupils of
Ancient Right.

From the Chicago Chronicle
That wholesome article of food, the
onion, has had a ban set upon it by a
Topeka, Kas., school teacher. Miss En-
ma Mccoy, a teacher of the Clay street
school, has made it a rule in her room
that no pupil bearing the odor of onions
shall be received She is receiving the
support of the principal and other
teachers in the school in her action. All
teachers know by experience how I'M
pleasant it is for them and the class
10 be confined in a room with children
whose breath is strongly pervaded with
the smell of onions, garlic and other
such dishes. Professor o. P. NJ. Nc
Clintock, principal of the school, fully
upholds Miss Mccoy. and says law
ought to be passed in every state per-
hitting teachers to send home pupils
who are in any way Objectionable. II
think the point is covered in the rule
OF the board of education which gives a
teacher the right to send home from
school any child who for any
reason is Objectionable to other
children. For instance, If child
came to school with a large supply Of
assafetida, | imagine that he or she
should be sent home When I was
principal of Jackson school last year
| remember of sending a certain colored
girl home regularly because she came
to school in such a condition that her
presence was Objectionable to the other
children While I confess that ! rather
like onions myself and recognize them
as wholesome articles of food, yet / al
ways have sufficient consideration for
others to eat them only when i intend
to go directly to bed, without seeing
anyone"
Last week Miss Mccoy emphasized
her order by sending home two boys for
carrying onions in their pockets, and
another for having partaken of them.
Il detest onions,' said she, but my
attention was first called to the boys
in question by other pupils. Children
who We're sitting near the two boys who
had onions in their pockets complained
of the odor. and ! did not think it was
right that they should stay in the room
and annoy other children. | rather
suspected the boy who had eaten them
of carrying onions around with him be-
cause the odor was strong. but he told
me that he had not handled onions, but
had simply eaten them at dinner. He
is a boy ! am inclined to believe, but
the odor of onions was so strong that /
decided he should be sent home for fu-
migation. In the future, unless Pro-
fessor McClintock objects. all children
who come to school with the odor of on
ions so strong as TO be offensive | in
tend To send home as I sent the three
boys i'm question.

cording to the San Francisco Examiner,
there row on in the California su-
preme court. Chief Justice Beatty and
Associate Justice Garoutte do not en-

In another dissenting opinion the chief

address 10 the students day or two

things, DR. Jordan said:

hope 10 be reckoned with the boys. But
there is one truth that has been very

tanned 10 a. carelessness of the honor of

ford student dishonors his university
when he dishonors himself Not many
do this. but there are some. And there
are some who do il not because they
mean 10. but because they go along
| with others When a Stanford man
enters a saloon, "a gambling room or a
place Of evil and carries with him his
colors. his college or his name he brings
disgrace upon himself his college and
his family. Those men who go on the
cocktail route win be shocked when
they see you there" lie added that
while the faculty would not follow
student to such places or punish him for
what he did. ii would never be indiffer-
ent to a students misfortunes nor TO
the university's discredit He remarked
that THE only melancholy that wine
can drive away is that which wine it

he That freedom which shows itself

testable form of slavery" He spoke of
profanity as a symptom Of duh. unre-
fined or degraded nature, lack of rich
ness of spirit. and said the bravest of
men We're soft of tongue and quiet of

If the Stanford boys don't honor and
respect Professor Jordan all the more
for such wholesome advice. there is
something radically wrong With them.
DR. Jordan, as he himself says. is no
ascetic. He is strong defender of foot
bali and of all college sports. He has
wine on his table and he attends operas
and theatrical performances He is not !
Puritan. but he is a gentleman and +
the Stanford youth can't pattern after +

a state of affairs in city supposed to
