'5he Newspapers and the Public.


Speaker Reed ia the Illustrated American.
Ii one We're seeking for a Valuable crlt-
cism of American newspapers il could be
found in tne objection made 10y distin-
guished Englishman to the full and some
times nauseating details Of crime with
which our papers are so Often occupied.
Where the lire should be drawn no one can
easily say, fer the accounts Ct crime
le@itin2 te news: but that the liz" has been
overstSppCi We certainly know. After all,
however. this is not criticism on cur
newspapers but OF our people. Things are
Tot printed which people do not want. If
such things did not quicken sales they
would not be manufactured in thai style.
1t might be We'll to give some thought TO
this and to contemplate this along with
our method of administering justice by the
discriminating aid of Il mob, before We I'M
dertake the publication of the world and
the civilization of other lands. 1t may he
that after We have ceased to enjoy pru-
rient details of crime and have become
content with justice administered under the
law of the land We would have a greater In
fuence over the world at large as Well
over Turkey and Spain an influence which
would have its origin in character as well
in strength.

POLITICS IN SCHOOL.
A New Branch Of Learning for Chicago
Children.

Chicago, March 15.-Chicago child
rem are to receive instructions in the
theory and practice of politics. Men
of advanced thought assert that move
ment of this kind is necessary to insure
the perpetuity of the republican form
OF government, and it is to be attempt
ed in a systematic manner. No def
mite programme has been arranged, but
the work will probably be undertaken,
or at least begun by the Civic Fedora
tons committee on education.
Richard Waterman, jr., secretary Of
the committee; w. A. Giles, principal
of the Watt Graham school, and others
interested in the subject have been dis
cussing the preliminaries for some time
past. So far as planned, the movement
contemplates the addition Of a thor
Ough and complete course of civics in
the public school curriculum, with the
object Of drilling pupils in the theory
of politics and good citizenship. while
the practical part will be impaired by
voluntary participation in auxiliary So
cieties.
The Woman's Club, of Englewood,
and similar organizations have become
interested in the movement and are
studying the subject with a view of
being able to assist the Civic Fedora
TONS committee with practical sugges-
tiOns for giving the matter effective
form.

Fire on n Cruiser.

New York, March 15.-Fire invaded
the cruiser New York on Tuesday
while the vessel was lying off Tomp-
kinsville. The forward magazine is
surrounded by coal bunkers. In it were
1900 pounds Of guncotton and 5000
pounds Of powder. Smoke poured from
the magazine and an alarm was given.
For the first time in the history of the
ship the automatic fire alarm had
failed to work.
Water was turned into the coal bunk
ers and there was no stint in the guam
tity. SO that before the cruiser had
passed Governors island it had taken
into the hold such weight of water
that it gained three feet in draught and
had to be sailed with great caution.
Arriving at the navy-yard the New
York was pumped out.
An examination was made, when it
was found that the fire had not origi-
mated in the magazine, but in the coal
bunkers adjoining.

NY LITTLE GIRL.

Last night there few to let me il
My little brown-eyed daughter.
She searched my pockets every one
To see what had brought her:
She kissed me sweet on brow and cheek,
And called me dear old felowF
The saucy, merry little scamp,
With flying curls so yellow.
She perched upon my knee and told,
With comment quaint and pretty,
Of all the happenings at home
While ! was in the city.
She wound me round her finger small,
Just as she has done ever
My little girl! I'd keep her thus
Forever and forever!
That was last night. Tonight there came
Into the room demurely
And sat upon the window seat
prm young stranger grille.
She cannot be my little lass,
Who used to meet me daily,
With laugh, and kiss, and merry speech
And feet that skipped SO gaily!
Why must she grow young-ladyhed,
And step IN longer dresses?
Why did they braid and tie, and prink
Her tossing yellow tresses?
Why should they change her spring heeled
boots
For trotters so old-maidy?
o where, o where's my little girl
And who is that young lady?
! sadly gazed in silence; she
Sat meek and unreplying,
A little sob-and then there came
burst of childish crying.
She crept to me and hid her face;
My eyes grew strangely hazy;
Her fathers arms had caught her close
"My little one--my Grace!'
II do not want to be grown up!
I'll be your little grille!
I'd rather wear my dresses short
And let my hair hang curly"
l raised her face-her loving tears
Repaid the kiss gave her.
II don't care if am fourteen!
I'm papas pet forever"
"You shan't be grown up. love-" cried,
but stay my own and darling,
I'd rather have the dresses short,
And see your tresses curling!
I'll speak to mamma!''-and l will
Let fashion wait my pleasure.
At least another year III keep
My households childhood treasure.
My little girl! My little Grace!
Come, now! a romp together,
TO clear the shadows from your face
And bring the sunshine weather.
Dear heart! the years too fast will go
In spite of our endeavor,
But you will always be my child,
My little girl forever

Three have already been reported,
which are carrying off hundreds of PEG.
pie, in various parts of the country, and
now comes news of two more. At
Japan, in the state Of Vera Cruz, an
epidemic of scarlet fever is raging to
such an extent that the people are fee
ing for safety, while in the same vicin-
ity an epidemic of typhoid fever, which
has much resemblance to yellow fever,
has broken out in most virulent form.
Reports from several Gulf cities say a
similar disease prevails there, and the
physicians predict an epidemic of yell
low fever, as they say this is always a
forerunner of that disease.

Al-Ki Left Port Townsend Crowded to
the Guards.
Port Townsend, Wash. March 15.-
The steamer Al-Ki sailed this morning
for Alaska with 245 Yukon prospectors,
80 dogs for sledgng and 30 packhorses.
The using of the packhorses over the
divide to the Yukon country has never
before been tried, and old miners who
have repeatedly made the trip are Of
the opinion that horses cannot be of
any service.
The Al-Ki was so crowded with pros.
pectors and their outfits that she was
forced to leave 800 tons of freight on
the wharf here. Never before, at any
season, has the rush to Alaska been so
great
The steamers Willapa and City of
Topeka both arrived this morning from
Alaska with a. few passengers and
little freight. just now nearly every
thing is going in and almost nothing
coming from Alaska. Among the To-
peka's passengers was G. S. johnson,
ex-United States district attorney for
Alaska, who is on his way to Washing
ton to ask President Mckinley to ap-
point him governor of the district. He
goes we'll recommended.
