WONDERFUL AUTOMATIC ACTION.
From the oven the bricks are con-
yeyed to the railroad where long trains
of freight cars await them. The con-
veyor at this point extends out over
the track, and the engineer of train
has simply to back his cars under
meath the mouth of the conyeyor. The
bricks drop out and the cars load them
selves. In fact this automatic action
is the great feature of the plant. From

THAT HEART OPERATION.
Gotham Surgeons Discuss the Alleged

Sewing in Germany of Stab Wound.
New York, April 2S.-New York sur

wound in the heart of a patient had
been sewed up; that the wound had

CHILD STUDY ITS AIM.
Congress of Workers Opens atChicago
for Several Days Session.

Chicago, April 2S.-The sessions of
the conference of child study workers
were opened in an informal way last
evening at the Chicago normal school
with an address by Colonel Francis w.
Parker.
Colonel Parker's address last even
ing was on the Ideal School" He
spoke of education as the foresteps of
social life and showed how the ideal
school must be an ideal community.
He said in part:
1.-The child, the moment he enters the
kindergarten or the school, is a citizen
of that community. The teacher is
an organizer of community life. His
or her one function is to organize COM
munity life in its best possible form.
Everything in the school is subsidiary
to the movement of the community life.
What shall be the order of such COM
munity? That is determined entirely
by the needs of the community. In fact
every rule, every regulation for the re-
striction of pupils who do not adapt
themselves to the life should grow i'm
mediately out of the needs of the chill
dren, and can be best made by the pu-
pills themselves.
the desire to be recognized as useful.
This viii be trained to development in
the community of the school. On an
other side the same training is a train
ing in morality. The child gains
knowledge in this way, but it is not
stagnated knowledge. All his knOwl-
edge can come in and go out in aid Of
the community. 1 grant that this ideal
of a school reverses our ideals, the
ideals which have been the potent in
fluences in tyranny.
DO we lead the education of the
child into community life? do not

is that we must have an education
equal to a democracy. We do not have
it now, good as it is
It is probable that before the con-
ferences close an association to be
known as the North American Child
Study conference will be formed for
the purpose of furthering that branch
of knowledge over the whole CONT
nent.

LICENsE DOESN'T PAY.
Lincoln, Nebraska, With Open Sa-
looms Far Behind Prohibition
Topeka.

The secretary of the State Temper
ance union is distributing the circular
recently issued by the executive com
mittee. An effort is being made to
place the circular in every family in
Topeka.
The part that is attracting the most
attention and is exciting comment
everywhere is the comparison made be
tween Lincoln, Neb., under a high Ii
cesne, and Topeka. It is as follows:
Lincoln, Neb., taxes each of her Sc
retail liquor saloons 81, 900 each, receiV-
ing therefrom an income of 900 an
nually She has 10, 900 more population
than prohibition Topeka, but the as
sessed valuation of her personal prop
erty is only s596,500 as against 81, 4Ol, Z95
for our own capital city.
And Notwithstanding the large
amount received as revenue from her
open saloons, the rate of taxation IN
Lincoln, for city purposes only, is over
10 mills higher than in Topeka, the rate
being 351a mills as against p 1-5 mills
in our own city. The plea is made by
high license Lincoln that she must have
the LIQUOR revenue in order to pay her
teachers and support her schools, but
last year she paid her teachers an aver
age of $5415 per month, as compared
with an average monthly salary OF
500. SO paid to Topeka teachers and in

DIES AFTER BOXING.
Unusual Exercise Causes Rudolph
Bapst to suceumb to Heart Disease.

New York, April 2S.-Rudolph Bapst,
45 years old, put on a pair of boxing
gloves in Williamsburg yesterday to
have a little fun with Peter Langtry, a
boy of II.
Young Langtry looked a mere strip
ling as he faced his mature antagonist.
But the way he danced about on his
feet showed that he was proud of his
superior agility.
Now, I'll show you how Fitzsimmons
won the championship, he exclaimed.
They went at it, hammer and tOngs,
as amateurs always do, and, like anna
tours they aimed all their blows at each
others faces. None of them hurt very
much, though they made a great noise.
The exercise and the blows combined
brought the blood to the skin, however,
and Mrs. Bapst, who was watching the
sport laughed gayly as she saw how
flushed her husbands face had become
It's warm work. she said, too
warm for me on a hot afternoon like
this"
Suddenly Bapst dropped his arms.
II think I've had-had enough he
said with a little grasp.
He raised one hand as if to wipe the
Precipitation from his forehead. But
the gesture was never completed, for he
pitched forward to the floor on his face.
He was dead. The doctor said he had
heart disease.
