When the members of the Constitu.
tional Convsntion style bribery INSIDE
meanor instead of o. crime, they indulge
In good deal Of hair splitting. Accord.
ing to Webster. bribery is classcd US u
crime and lawyers, with all their learning
cannot provo to the contrary. 1t seems
there are many persons convicted of petty
offences that might claim Il trial by jury
according to the provisions Of the Con-
stitution. 1t is placing too much power
In the hands of one man to deny an often
der trial by jury. 1t may he said that
1uries will not convict, but it is better that
ninety'nine guilty men should escape than
one innocent man should suffer. Our
Judges may be conscientious, honorable
men, but as France had her Robspiere and
Jeffrey, 1t behooves us to beware. Tho
pettyfogglng We have witnessed the past
month should teach the people u lesson.
Beware Of innovations and revolutions
The present Constitution provides that no
one shall be deprived of his liberty with
out trial by jury, and this convention
transcends Its proper bounds when it dis
regards or abrogates that provision. 10
make the assertion plain we quote Article
8 of the Constitution of the United States
and also the difinition given by Webster
Of misdemeanor and bribery.
"The trial of all crimes, except in cases
Of impeachment shall be by Jury. and
such trial shall be held in the State where
the said crime shall have been committed;
but when not committed within any State
the trial shall be at such place or places ~
the Congress may by law have directed.
Misdemeanor-Ill behavior; evil con
ducti fault; mismanagement; any crime
less than felony; the term applies to all
offences for which the law has not fur
pished particular name; misdeed; mis-
spnaucb; misbehayior; trespassi trans
stession.
Bribe-To give or promise q reward or
consideration to- with a view to pervert
ths Judgment or corrupt the conduct: to
hire for bad purposes; to purchase the de.
clpton or testimony Of, or the performance
81 sQme act by, that is contrary TO known
truth, Justice or rectitudo; to gain by a
pribei to give bride to person; to per-
!ert his Judgment or corrupt his action
by some gift or promise,

The Board of Education last night
after considerable discussion decided to
pay the bill of the Board of Health for
81, 026 50 with interest from last February,
for pu ting In drains at schools Nos and
T. The bill was passed through the per-
sstency OF DR. Shortlidge, DIR. Crum-
baugh, Mr., Morrow, Mr.. Crossan and
Daniel Ross, who were opposed by Prei-
dent Baird, Mr.. Belts, Mr. Turner and
Mr.. Carter, who wanted the matter post
poned again.
John l.. Hall, representing the Little
Giant fire extinguisher, addressed the
Board, and the matter was referred to the
Committees on Supervisors and lnsur-
ance
Colonel Benjamin Nields, John Fl.
Dandy, Rev, L. A. McCurdy, A. d.
Warner, Mrs Charles d. Rowland, Mrs
A. ID. Warner and Mrs. Benjaman Nields
OF the New Century Club Educational
committee were present in the interest of
compulsory education. Mrs. Rowland
was the first speaker and she said:
that the committee represented an organi-
cation of mothers and sisters, which de-
sired the help and o-operation of the
hoard to secure the passage of the COM
pulsory educational bill. She gave some
tatistics. saying that Delaware had
populuUlOn Oh looUUU 10 lfO,UUU ana only
3400 children enrolled In the schools,
while in the Fiji Islands there are 10000
people and 10000 pupils enrolled
In this state the persons over 10 years. of
age who cannot read or write are $4,000, or
IA per cent. while in Ohio the number is
5per cent; Kansas, 4; Massachusetts, 8;
Germany one-fourth of l. Delaware is the
only state in the Union where French and
Greek are not taught, and the only state
where there is not 4 state system Of schools,
with state officer at the head. Delaware
is from seventy to 100 years behind other
states in Its school system.
Mrs. Rowland also spoke of the offer of
the police department to get list of the
children who do not attend school, and
therefore the board would not have to
incur any expense.
Colonel Nields read the bill that had
been prepared saying that it had been
modelled after the one now In operation
in Pennsylvania After Mrs. Warner
spoke DR.. Shortlidge said that this was
an important matter and thought that a
special meeeipg should be held to consider
1t.
He moved that the bill be referred to
the special COMMITTEE, on legislation, and
it was to meet with the New Century Club
committee on Thursday afternoon at
O'Clock, and then make report to the
next meeting on Monday night, February
l. This motion was adopted.

HUMAN SKIN sTRoPs.
How Instruments of the Dissecting Room,
Are Kept sharp.

<.hV AASRt
It Is we'll known that in dissecting the
most delicate and finest Of steel instNi.
ments are used. 1t is necessary to keep
these instruments extremely sharp Tho
ordinary ooarse stone or strop would ut
terly destroy the delicate blades 1t Is also
well known that u razor can DO nicely
finished" on the palm OF the hand. Thi
fact led to the use Of small crude strop
mnde of bits of ilesb, secured in tho dis
scctiDg room. The possibilities of this hl,
man 1esh strop appealed so forcibly to thu
practical mind OF gro of the students that
he began experiments, which have resulted
in the introduction very quietly on the
market of razor strop made of human
flesh.
One side of these stropgis made of black
flesh and the other side of white flesh. The
skin for these strops Is secured in this
way: When students are given parts of tho
human body to dissoct, the skin Is usually
removed and thrown away. This waste
skin is now in great demand.
The leg skin is the part most priced, as
1t Is from this that the most desirable
strips of flesh for razor strops arc secured.
The epidermis and the dermis are careful
ly removed together in strip IS inches by
b inches. All fat is cut away, and the strip
is then put In strong solution of arsenic
and water, where 1t Is allowed to remain
for about five hours. 1t Is now changed to
weaker solution of arsenic and left for a
day and half. 1t is thoroughly saturated
with linseed oil to soften 1t, and after be.
ing rubbed hard with smooth, round
stick 1t is rendered flexible and ready for
mounting.
The two strips of human flesh are past.
cd together back to back and make razor
strop which Is said by those who have used
them to be far superior to the ordinary
razor strop of leather. Francisco

Ono of my friends asked her one day
what she thought of my book ON America,
and she answered, Monsieur, am only
accustomed to read the books which arc
presented to me by their authors" was
strongly prejudiced against Nina Sand,
for l loathe women who write, especially
those who Systematically despise the weak
nesses Of their sex instead Of interesting
us by displaying them in their true char.
acter. Nevertheless, she pleased me-
thought her features rather massive, but
her expression admirable All her mind
seemed to have taken refuge in her eyes,
abandoning the rest of her face to matter,
and was particularly struck at meeting
in her with something of the naturalness
Of behavior of great minds. She had a
real simplicity Of manner and language,
which she mingled, perhaps with some
little affectation of simplicity of dress. 1
confess that more adorned she would have
appeared moro simple. -" Recollections" Of

froze the young man, and the actress ask
