OUT DOOR seSCHOOLS."
One Thing the Civic Clubs Are Do
ing at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, July 9.-The little folks of
the city who know no other summer
resorts than the hot streets and alleys
are the special object of interest of the
educational department of the Civic
afternoon at the Twentieth Century
club, and the board of directors formal
ly accepted the large grounds about
the Fifth ward school, Allegheny, as
the site for a summer kindergarten. 1t
is expected that the Forbes school will
be secured this week for the same pur-
pose. The Ralston school was opened
yesterday morning. There were sand
piles, games and toys provided and
The news of the opening spread rapid
ly and over 80 children promptly put
in an appearance to enjoy the pleasures
provided for them. Bare feet and a
small amount of clothing only added to
the comfort of these pupils. A number
OF them carried a small brother or sis
ter, and could only indulge in such
plays as would permit them at the
same time to take care of the baby
For these little nurses there are to be
benches and special amusements pro-
kindergarten songs are sung, the games
played and the little pupils made as
happy as possible. There are no books
and nothing that suggests work. 1t is
hoped that the other two schools can be
opened next week Enough funds have
already been contributed to run one
school, but all three will be opened with
the earnest hope that funds will be
provided for such a worthy cause.
The expenses incurred are for teach
ers salaries, games, toys, and kindred
equipments.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.
Several Thousand Believers Call on
Mrs. Eddy, Founder of Their Faith.

Concorn, N H., July 9.-Between 1900
and 5000 Christian Scientists fiocked to
this city on special and regular trains
Monday to greet the founder of their
faith, Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy. 1t has
been the custom for several years for
members of the Boston branch to make
this July pilgrimage, but this year the in
vitation was given a wider scope, and all
parts of the country were represented in
the throng the lawns about Mother
Eddy's'' magnificent residence on the hills
that surround the city.
Local clergymen were conspicuous by
their absence, but the city was represent
ed by its mayor. Albert B. Woodworth
who delivered an address of welcome, in
which he alluded to Mrs. Eddy in terms
of highest praise Judge r. S. Hanna of
Boston, one of the leading lights of the
Christian Science church, made a response,
after which Mrs. Eddy herself spoke.
Her address was principally devoted to a
statistical and historical resume of the
origin, rise and present prosperous con-
dition of Christian Science. All the time
that these exercises were in progress the
thermometer stood at very nearly 100 in
the shade, but the enthusiasm of Mrs.
Eddy's disciples was not one whit abated
thereby.

SENATOR TELLER'SCHARGE
Says the Tariff. Bill is insufficient for
Revenue Purposes.

The Washington Post says of Mondays
debate on the tariff bill:
IF any senator in charge of this bill -
said Senator Teller in a speech on the
floor, will rise in his seat and tell us
this bill will bring in sufficient revenue
during the present fiscal year 1 will glad
~ listen to such a statement"
Nobody rose. Senator Allison sat silent.
nervously chewing the ends of his mus
tache. The trouble is that the bill will
not bring in revenue enough, and the
members of the finance committee know
it. Senator Allison's silence gave Mr.
Teller an opportunity to prod deeper
1.-The committee has dropped the duty on
tea, said he, because a tea tax and a
stamp tax together are entirely too rem
iniscent of revolutionary days. We might
have had beer tax, we ought to
have" he added, "but for the fact that
an election is coming on this fall in a.
great state, and it is not deemed wise to
offend the large portion of it's populati
which does not believe in a tax on beer"
At this shot Senator Hanna smiled
grimly.

ARRESTED A G. A. r. POST.
g Solitary Green Policeman Draws
His Club and Marches 81 Vet
Grams to Jail

New York. July 9.-Twenty-one G. A.
R. veterans belonging to Judson Kill
patrick post of Harlem, and their fife
and drum corps, numbering 25, were
arrested while parading Upper Seventh
avenue, and were marched to a station
house. The arrest was made single
handed by Policeman Thornton, a re-
cent acquisition to the police force. He
heard the soldiers approaching, and,
drawing his club, advanced bravely
to meet them.
'Stop!" he shouted, waving his club.
The flies and drums ceased as the
columns came to halt
Where's your permit to parade the
streets?'' said Thornton.
THE Grand Army needs no permit
to parade Commander Clausen re-
piled.
But you have no right to parade at
4:30 in the morning, when citizens want
to Sleep"
When the head of the procession
was opposite the station house Sergeant
Osborne was almost paralyzed to hear
the sharp command, Left wheel!' On
they marched across the sidewalk, up
the steps and into the station house,
with shrieldng fife and booming drum.
The veterans lined up in front of the
desk, and at the command came to pa
rade rest"
When the sergeant managed to find
his voice he said: What is all this?"
'Parading without a permit,'34 said
Policeman Thornton.
This is Judson Fitzpatrick Post of
the G. A. r., and you know what that
MEANS, said Commander ClauSen.
Then Sergeant Osborne read to Po-
Hceman Thornton the section of the po-
lice rules which exempts the Grand
Army from the regulation requiring a
permit to parade. He followed up the
reading with a few remarks to the po-
lceman and dismissed his charge.

IN. Without exception when such

sion. Without exception when such
letters were received, they have been
given prompt attention by the commits
sioners, and the companies complained
of notified of the contents of such
communication and requested to COM
naunicate to the commission such an
swer as they may care to make in ex-
PLANTATION of the matters charged in
such letters. In nearly every instance,
after the lapse of a few weeks, the
writer's of the letters would notify the
commission that upon consideration,
they didn't care to formally press the
matters complained of in the letter.
There is a great deal of newspaper
comment and some correspondence to
newspapers over the names of Tax
payer Citizen and the like, all dis
cussing what ought to be done, and
what they, Taxpayer and Citizen,
would do if members of the commits
sion; but at least 80 per cent of such
writings have absolutely no relation to
existing laws and conditions, and are
largely indulged in by persons who
have given no study to the question: The
board of railroad commissioners cannot
act except upon complaint in due form
of law, and if Taxpayer and Citizen
are agg-rieved by existing freight rates
the way is open for them to formally
bring the matter before the railroad
commissioners for examination, and
such action on their part would be more
effective in determining the rights of all
parties affected by this question than
all the newspaper correspondence they
might otherwise indulge in

REV. ROCKWELL SHOCKED.
Saw Woman Behind a Gauze Sheet
ing in Front of q Coney Island Show.

New York, July "a show, some
features of which, it is alleged, were
immoral. was stopped at Coney Island
last night at the instance of the Rev.
f. D. Rockwell, president of the law
and order society of Brooklyn. He was
recommending on the Bowery, when he
saw on Bushman's walk the form of
woman distinctly visible behind
sheeting of gauze, with an electric light
as background.
The barker was taking a rest, trust
ing to the mute attraction of the wom-
an to draw a crowd. There was a skirt
about the woman'S form reaching a lit
tie below the hips. The minister sue
ceeded in putting an end to the exhibit
ton with great promptitude. Then the
barker came to life.
"Step right in, ladies and gents" he
said softly and politely. "The show
outside, the free exhibition that we
have been giving you, has been stopped
by those who do not appreciate it. The
show inside, the real show, take my
word for it, goes on now. Step in and
be entertained
His politeness did not avail him, for
Detective Backus stepped up and Or
dered the show to close up altogether.

and flames coming through the roof OF
the tong shed fused az wood-shed); the
fire was at the end nearest the kitchen,
there was no fire in the hay barn at the
time. His story 10 corroborated by Jos.
eph Shetoioe, who was blowing in the
field. helped to remove about a ton
and half Of hay a tew days bsfore, and
the hay was then in fine condition and
there we're no signs OF heating.
The above statements are facts, and
can be proven. ! naturally do not care
