CHINA YIELDS TO GERMANY.
Agrees Internationally to All OF the
German Demands.

Agrees Internationally TO All OF inc
German Demands.
London, Dec. 8.--A dispatch to The
Times from Pekin confirms the report
that China, hoping for the evacuation
of kiao-Chau, agrees Internationally
to all the demands Of Germany. The
TimeA dealing editorlally with the sit
uation at Kiao-Chau, notes that the
telegram enumerating the German de-
mands does not include the perma-
nent occupation of KiaO-Chau, and
points out that the evidence is con-
fiicting as to whether this was officially
demanded. 1t says:
In any case, now that the other de-
mands have been conceded, what will
be the grounds for insisting on per-
manent occupation? The double sue
cess in Hayti and China, demonstrating
the practical value of strong fleet
ready to act at short notice in any part
of the world, will probably give coup
de race to the declining opposition
to the naval bill"

The growth of the public schools In the
United States during the present century
has been something wonderful. In 1878,
the public school system OF Philadelphia
was organized with schools, 10 teachers
and asi5 pupils. On January LIST, 1897
there were 502 schools, 3255 teachers and
1888, 535 pupils. The growth in our city has
been remarkable, from n few school houses
and few hundred scholars with dozen
teachers. The city now has ~ schools
some 22O teachers with superintendent
to look after them.

THERE are two Protestant Episcopal
Churches in Mt. Holly, N. j., St Andrews
and Trinity. ST. Andrews Church is the
Oldest, Trinity being an offshoot from tho
parent church. The members of tho two
churches have been trying to have the
congregations consolidate, but, although
Christians, they can't agree, and arc more
ready to fight than arbitrate. One of he
brethren was so uncharitable as to say the
churches would never unite until there
were several first class funerals.

DESPONDENT AND ILL.
Mrs. Inga Anderson Lets Her Life
Blood Out With a Razor.

Blood Out With a Razor.
Despondent on account of i'll health
Mrs. Inga Anderson, residing at 1924
Eighteenth avenue northeast, cut her
throat with a razor yesterday, and died
before medical aid could be summoned
Yesterday, Mrs. Anderson, who was
just recovering from a severe attack
of typhoid fever, arose, seemingly in
good spirits. Her husband, who has
been out of employment for some time,
told her that he was going out to seek
work. She kissed him goodbye and
told him to hurry back, as she was
not feeling very we'll. He spoke a few
consoling words to her and departed.
Mrs. Anderson then sought her fifteen
months-old baby, took it in her arms
and kissed it fondly. She then went
to her room.
Her footsteps could be heard for
some time as she paced up and down
her room. Suddenly they ceased and
in a few moments her sister, who was
down stairs with the baby, heard a
heavy body fall to the floor. She rush
ed upstairs and into the bed chamber
A horrible sight presented itself. Mrs.
Anderson was lying on the floor, her
head in a pool of blood and the life
fluid rushing from deep wound in
her neck. In her right hand she held
a razor, the blade of which was GRIM
and in moment breathed her last.
After going upstairs, she had evident
ly gone to the bureau drawer, taken
her husbands razor and in a second
had severed the arteries of the throat
and the jugular vein. The coroner was
called and the remains taken to the
morgue. She was thirty-two years old.

During an electric storm on the Black

girl, aged twelve years, was sent out
to round up and bring in ten ponies.
The storm increased during her alb
sence and she failed to return. When
it abated her friends went to search
for her. Half a mile from the camp
they found the ten ponies all lying
dead and in the center the Indian girl,
burned to almost a crisp. She was not
recognizable. She had herded the
horses and brought them almost a
mile, when a bolt of lightning struck
the band. 1t is the most disastrous
effect of lightning ever known in this

has fully demonstrated the eminent value OF
the teachers training school,
