No Evidence to Hold Him on the
Charge of ENLIGHTENMENT.

STOCKTON, May 14.-John H. Kleup-
fer of Oakland, charged with embezzle-
ment, was discharged at his preliminary
examination this afternoon. He was
nephew of Charles f. Kleupfer, who
murdered two men at New Hope, and
hanged himself in the County Jail just
before the day set for his trial.
Judge J. G. Swinnerton of this city had
been retained to defend him, but just be-
fore his death the murderer gave his
money to his brother, Alexander Kleup-
fer. The lawyer claimed that the coin
was given to the brother to be held in
trust to be paid to him. When they re-
fused to turn it over to him he charged
both nephew and brother with embez-
Element Alex Kleuofer left the State

is fabricated evidence in support of

TIME ELEMENT IN TEACHING.
Limits Of Incidental Instruction
Fatigue and entail Maturity.

The fundamental points In the time
element in teaching to which I shall di-
rect particular attention are: the limits
of incidental instruction, the influence of
fatigue, and the question of mental ma
turity.
OF these factors that of incidental
teaching is, under existing conditions,
perhaps the most important. About 70
per cent. of the. time in some of orr
schools being devoted to the formal
branches, a radical change would be eff
fected if the forms of expression-read-
ing, spelling, penmanship, grammar and
languageAwere taught as Incidental fea-
lures. Indeed, much would be gained if
results should prove that the formal
studies can be subordinated, even though
to a limited extent only, to the content
studies. The possibility of incidental in
struction depends upon whether we are
able to do more than one thing well at a
time. If SO, some mental labor must
necessarily be performed by subordinate
states of attention or consciousness, and
the practicability of incidental instruction
will depend upon whether such can be
utilized in teaching. That the perform

not only possible, but under certain con-
ditions inevitable, is clearly shown by the
fact that, in writing a composition, it is
necessary to attend simultaneously to at
least four distinct elements-thought, Ian
guage, spelling and p~enmanship. To what
extent incidental instruction may be car
ried can be discovered only by a study
of results. The possibilities of incidental
instruction are not limited to the formal
studies, but extend to the content studies
as well. In the latter, however, the
ground covered in the different schools
varies SO markedly that we are unable
to formulate tests which will lead to the
comparative study of results. Investiga-
ton in the content studies will not be
fruitful, therefore, until our goals are
more definite and our notions clearer in
regard to what results in these branches
may be regarded as satisfactory. More
over, as most of the time in the mechan-
zeal schools is devoted to the formal
branches, incidental instruction in the
content studies is a less urgent problem,
at least for the present, than it is in the
case of the formal o~nes.-Forum.

A Special Policeman Who
Should Have His Shield
Taken Away

A strange scene occurred in Justice
Potts court this morning when Mrs.
Kate Mullery, of No. II Grand street, was
arranged to answer a charge of intox.-
cation preferred against her by her hus-
band, Edward Mullery. The woman was
respectfully dressed and presented a far
different appearance from those of her
sex who usually figure in the court. She
hesitated entering the dock when called
to the bar, perhaps because a couple OF
dirty Italians had been arraigned in It a
short time before.
Who is the officer in this case?" de-
manded Justice Potts.

he made his way from the rear of the

According to the story he told, he went
home last night and found his wife under
the influence of liquor. The couple have
not been living happily together for
some time. A quarrel ensued, and seiz-
ing her by the arm Mullery half carried
and dragged her through the streets at
six o'clock last evening when they were
crowded. to the Gregory street station.
A charge was entertained against her
very reluctantly. The woman was con-
fined in a cell until ten O'Clock, when her
friends. Who had earned of her arrest,
procured her release. William Schwenck
became her bondsman.
Her husband. Edward Mullery, is a
