NORMAL SCHOOL JUNKET.
Both Committees VIII BE Seated
Today.

The normal school committees of both
houses returned last night from their
trip to the Winona and Mankato in
situations much pleased with the re-
suits Of their inspection.
While the examination Of the i;4stitu-
tions was more or less critical, it was
not captious, so one Of the members
insisted last night, and he indicated
that the sentiment Of the committee
was in favor Of such appropriations
as would insure to these institutions
their continuance on a basis Of their
present plans, and would not in any
wise seek to hamper these schools.

this morning be recommended by the

The Prince Of Guide..

Grindewald has Just celebrated the
seventeen birthday Of Almer, the
doyen Of Swiss guides. Almer has been,
the pioneer Of all modern mountain
stormers, to use the picturesque Ger
man word. In the Bernese Oberland
alone he has made the ascent Of the
Jungfrau, Moench, Elger, Wetterhorn,
and SclreckbOn no less than 100
times, and, with the exception Of the
Jungfrau. lie has been the first to set
foot on their snowy creSt6. He ia also
the only living mountaineer who has
made the descent from the Moench on
to the Wengenalp, md It Is said there
is not a mountain peak, In the yalais,
Gris0ns, Savoy and Dauphine on
which he has not bivouacked. He has
five SONS, all of them. trained from
childhood to be guides, and some have
carried on their fathers work with
English mOuntaineers In, the Caucasus
and the Himalayas. Almer a6irms
that none Of his climbers has ever had
an accident, but he himsek has his
scars Of battle. On the ,Grindelwald
glacier a falling block Of Ice broke sew
eral Of his ribs, and In winter ascent
OF the Jungfrau In 1885 his tOeO were
all frozen and had ito be amputated.
Since then he has retired from work,

and asked her about herself ;she said
she was walking to. q town, twenty

was dying in the hospital there; she
seemed very sad but quiet and resign
ed. for she was very religious; she was
q Methodist, she said, and had q letter
from her pastor In her pocket; she said
she had been q washerwOman for forty

had any money, and she said no, but
she did rot beg: Of course their hands

Can you speak Romany, my mother ?"
and she answered bewilderingly: ,s 4;
The Lord forbid, sir, that should
speak any Of them wicked languages"
Prof. Palmer is great Romany
scholar himself, and he now drew his
hand out of his pocket and waited
with Frightening eyes. Mr.. Leland now
said in Romany:
s.You needn't be afraid; I've been
upon the road myself"

exclaimed the old woman in confusion,
