"THE KIcKERn AGAIN.
He Kicks This Time About Important
Matters to the Public.

matters to the Public.
THE Kicker's" attention has just been
called to the fact that there are children
in the public schools of this city who are
under the age of five years, the minimum
limit fixed by law. 1t would seem that
the teacher Is at fault when such is the
case, but not always. Some teachers may
be to blame in such..iustances, hut hardly
in Roanoke, when every primary teacher
in the city has her hands full accepting
the care of" babies' in order'to please the
whims of some kind, lovable mamma who
wants her little toddler in school so that
she may have the very great pleasure of
knowing that her little darling is out of
mischief and at the same time under the
watchful eye of one of our excellent
teachers.
This is great scheme, but it is alto
gether wrong, besides being an imposi-
tion on our teachers, who have their
hands full to properly teach children old
enough TO enter school. Parents shonld
realize this fact and also understand that
they may irreparably injure the child
who is confined in school at sos early
an age. 1t is stated on good authority
that there are mothers who Lave actually
represented their "babies'' to be five
years If age, where they are not, in order
to rid themselves OF the care for the little
ones during the day. "The Kicker"
would like to suggest to these fond, affec.
tionate, loving (0 mothers that if they
expect to continue TO thus impose on our
already overworked primary teachers
that they go to the. trouble to send n few
cradles and teething rings along with the
"litt'e dears."

Tug-of-War Tonight.

After the baseball game and the band
concert this afternoon, go home and
get ready for the great final contest in
the tug-of-war tournament, to take
place at 8 o'clock tonight. The follow
ing teams will compete:
1. U. S. S. Marion VS.. Honolulu Iron
Works.
2. Waikiki VS.. Pakaka.
3.sOceanic VS.. Inter-Island.
As will be seen, the third is an extra
contest, recently arranged for by other
parties than the regular management,
but it will be an exciting one and the
sympathizers of the Oceanic and Inter
Island wharf hands should all be there.

a Dangerous Ride.

William Shields, of Woonsocket, r.
l.. rode down the steps of the west
front of the Capitol March 31st. He
was photographed during his descent.
and the product of the camera is on
exhibition to convince the skepucs.
There are only "a steps, broken by
several landings. Wheel and rider
cleared the last flight of 16 without
touching one, and landed in heap at
the bottom, both unframed. The
Sterling" wheel, which he was rid
ing. did not loosen a bolt, or weaken at
any point under the severe strain to
which it was put, and aside from
twisted handle-bar, received at the
bottom, came out of the ordeal without
a scratch.

ADOPTED BY POSTAL CONGRESS.

ADOPTED BY POSTAL CONGRESS.
Rates Suggested.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-The Pos
tai Congress has adopted that part of
the report of the second commission
recommending that the limit of value
payable on parcels sent by post be
raised to 1000 francs Cor 5000 instead
of 500 francs Tor $1,000, as present.
The report on international money
orders was also discussed, and the con-
gress made a reduction of one-half of
the present tax, which is one per cent,
on all money orders above 100 francs,
or $40.
The congress has also acted upon the
proposition for reducing the postage
collected upon international postal
postal cards which were not prepaid.
Instead of collecting letter postage
rates at the post office of destination,
only double postar card rates will be
assessed. This effected a reduction OF
from 10 cents to 4 cents.
The congress has finally disposed of
the yexed question of maritime postal
rates. 1t has decided on a graduated
reduction, covering a period OF SIX
years. at the end of which time the
next congress will be held and new
schedule agreed upon.
The tariff now in force provides for
a rate of Is francs per kilogram. The
congress adopted the report OF the
nrincipal commission without any
changes. This makes a reduction to
IA francs per kilogram for two years.
- francs for the next two and 10 francs
for the last two.
OF course, before this is put in oper-
alton it will have to be ratified by the
government of each country, but it is
said to be probable that there will be
no hesitation in forcing the measure.

Naval Retrenchment.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Secretary
Long announces that there will be no
extended series of fleet maneuvers this
summer, which order is understood to
be due to the policy of rigid economy.
The Secretary has found that nearly
Sc. 900 900 has been expended since July
in repairs to ships, a large proportion
of which has been used in getting YES
sells ready for service. The Cuban war
scare has entailed this heavy expense,
but it leaves the squadron in better
condition than ever.

conclusion Of his remarks the e COM
pany members applauded him heartily
for the clever things he said about
them.
Maj. FredI Ames, whom Col. Reeve
has transferredIto ST. Paul to take
command Of the ST. Paul battalion,
vice Col. Peice, referred to- the steady
growth Of the First regiment, and said
he had Always thought the Mime
apolis battalion the best Now he want
ed to find ont if that was not true of

ment was, In his opinion, the equal in
efficiency and military experience, Of

suited in the loss of certain cases Of

is as yet charged with no specific offense.
Chief Schweitzer yesterday found on her per-
SON gold watch and chain, a gold breast
pin and pair Of gold bracelets, which are
thought to have been stolen. According to
the woman, they were given to her by some
one whom she says was staying with Schaf-
fer at Mankato some weeks ago. The man
left Mankato she says for several days after
an attempt to get Schaffer to accompany him,
and when he returned had one Of the valises
found at the Mendoza camp and the jewelry,
