NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL.
President Earper's Pet Scheme Put
Into Execution.
Head of University "s Chicago About
to ReyoIutforI1r sue Prevail
Ing Methods fn the
work.

President Harper OF the University
of Chicago has some ideas of how "a
model Sunday school should be run
and he will soon put them in operation.
The field selected for the advance
ment of the new scheme viii be the
Hyde Park Baptist church and his own
university. The time set for the open
ing day is June l, and on that day pu-
pills will be received in a school which
in every way must he regarded as mod
ern. All past traditions have been cast
aside, and the movement is regarded
by those cognizant of its provisions as
a distinct revolution in the Sunday
school world.
The new departure will replace the
international Sunday schooffo2sons, as
well as other kinds of literature used in
the present day schools. President
Harper, in conjunction with Bishop j.
II. Vincent, of the Methodist church,
and Prof. E. d. Burton, of the Univers-
ity of Chicago, has already in prepara-
ton a set of textbooks that will be
used in the two Sunday schools. They
are entirely different in every respect
from literature now in vogue in
churches, and can be compared more
favorably with those used in the public
schools.
There will be chiefs for the different
departments, and assistant chiefs and
directors and superintendents, whose
various duties are hid under titles of
pretentious proportions. President
Harper himself will be the superinten-
dent and Prof. Frank w. Shepardson
will be his assistant. Prof. Z. d. Bur
ton will be director of instruction, and
win look after the courses, the teachers
and the standard of excellence to be
maintained. Public exercises will be
taken care of by j. A. Russell, and the
religious life of the school will be at
tended to by Rev. J. L. Jackson. The
missionary and benevolent organiza-
tion has been given in charge of DR.. t.
w. Goodspeed, and the libraries will
be seen to by Mrs. Zella A. Dixon, the
university librarian. The secretary will
be Miss Mary McAdams, and the treas
urer A. II. Parker.
The school viii be divided into three
departments-the elementary, the sec
ondarv and the adult The elementary
class viii study stories and sayings in
the New Testament, the secondary the
Old Testament history and the adult
classes the Old Testament prophecies.
C. II. Marsh win have charge of the
first department, d. K. Myra Reynolds
the second and James Peabody the
last. Other officials win be r. b. David
son, chorister; Glen NJ. Hobbs, leader
of orchestra, and J. f. Raycroft, mar
shal.
At the end of every three months
regular convocations will be held, and
the pupils will be given diplomas If
proficient enough.

A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Dreams Of tho Past Eecome Real
Facts OF the Present
The Holland Torpedo Boat just
Launched at Elizabeth. n. J., Like
ly TO RevoIutionize Warfare
Several Nations After Her.

The Holland submarine torpedo boat
has lust been launched at the Crcs-
cent ship yards in Elizabeth, y. j. The
inventor of the boat, John 2. Holland,
has closely watched the construction of
the vessel. The vessel was cilristened
"The Holland" by Mrs. Nixon, wife OF
Lieut.. Lewis Nixon, the constructor
There were few persons at the launch
ing. Inventor Holland says there will
be no attempt at submarine evolu-
tions for several weeks. The construc-
ton of the boat has been eagerly
watched all over the country. The
boat is cylindrical in shape, is so feet
3 inches long, with n 4-foot screw pro-
tecting extension. The diameter is 10
feet 3 inches amidship, and the mold
ed diameter Is the same. The boat can
travel under water eight knots an hour
for eight hours. and ten knots an hour
ON the surface The power comes from
q gasoline engine and dynamo. the
former to be used when the boat is
sailing along the surface, and the latter
when she is submerged. 1t will take
less than a minute 10 submcrge the
boat, and about the same length of time
for her TO rise to the surface. The arma-
ment consists of three torpedo tubes
which will discharge high explosives.
Six men will constitute the crew.
Mr.. Holland was asked by the United
States, British and Spanish govern
ments to allow a representative on
board during the trial trip of the boat,
but he refused the request After
trial trip he says he will allow an en-
gineer from each government to see
the workings of the boat, which it is
believed will revolutioDize warfare Sew
eral foreign nations have bid for the
vessel but it is likely that Mr.. Holland
will sell her to the United States.

MAILS FOR ALASKA.

Contracts Made by Which the Serv-
Zee VIII BE Greatly Improved.
The post Office department is devot-
ing special attention to the postal needs
of the interior districts of Alaska and
has just completed an arrangement for
steamboat mail service, which together
with the overland service recently con
tracted for from juneau to Circle City,

n vast Improvement in the communion
ton between that territory and the resi-
of the United States. The steamboat
service contract has just been let to +.
b. Ware, of Chicago. at $1,000 for five
round trips. The overland contract
applies to letters only, but the one now
entered into provides for carrying all
kinds of mail with an outside limit of
five tons on each steamer. Two rival
companies are brought together in this
schene; the Alaska Commercial com
pany, with sailings from San Francisco,
and the North American Transporta-
ion e. Trading company, from Seat
tie. The route will be around Oun-
alaska to the mouth of the Yukon, with
a transfer there to the river steamers
for Circle. Trips from San Francisco
viii be made about the 5th of June, of
August and of September while steam
ers will leave Seattle about June 10
and August 10.
