We deem it necessary in this place to
enter into discussion or to cite arguments
upon the subject of open-air gynnasia in
general; that these have their proper and
important place in the social order of
municipal communities must be taken for
granted. Discussion and information
upon this question has been constant in
organizations and in the public press, for
the past ten years. The open air ~gymnasia
of the City of Boston have been in opera
ton for six years; Chicago has established
one ~ an expensive scale but recently
In both cities they are managed without
the slightest difficulty and with great
success, and in both they are being ex-
tended and duplicated. Finally we refer

admirably reiterated.

ming all danask table linen, napkins and
tablecloths, and gives them a finish not
to be obtained by the finest workmanship
executed in the plain hem. The stitch
used is t'-oversewing," Which is used to
finish the ends OF a plain hem. The
napery hem is folded differently from an
ordinary hem. It is first folded as usual
and then turned back On itself at the line
of the first fold. The seam is then over
sewed, pointing the needle towards ones
face. and ~endeavoring to take up as little
material as possible. A No. 8 needle and

the regulation quarter inch, for a table
cloth, and an eighth of an inch for a nap

sums which are spent annual, for
the construction and maintenance of
tortresses, arsenals and navies Then
take into consideration. that with few
exceptions, every able bodied man in
continental Europe is required to
give two or three of the best years OF
his life to service in the army. If you
can figure this out you will have some
conception OF one uf the vast burdens
which we Americans do not bear.
Our army numbers scarcely 10000;
our citizens need not enter the SER
vice unless they choose. In Eur ope
all or nearly all Of the people are tax
ed to support some established
church. This tax is assessed and COL
tected by the government. In free
America the government permits
each citizen to give or withhold his
support from the church as he deems
best.

country TO adopt free school system
and to insist upon compulsory educa-
ton. Such laws were passed lii the
colonies thirty years after the land.

with the condition IN England. As
late as I847 Lord McCaulay de-
clared that. through the absence of
education. the majority Of the Ell
glish people we're left brutes in the
midst OF civilization. Thirty years
ago while Great Britian was spend
ing but 100000 for the support of
it's public schools, the u. 8. was ex.
pending s95, 100000 for the same pur.
pose. Today France spends five
times as much for her army as she
DIES for the education OF her people.
England spends six times as much,
Holland five times as much, Ger
many four times /as much, and for
every dollar that Russia spends to ed.
ucate her people, no less than $50 is
expended for warlike purposes.
Among all the nations of Europe,
Switzerland alone pays as much to
educate her people as she does in
preparation for war. In America the
government devotes four times as
much money for public education as
for the total expenses of the army and
tho navy. Figures could NOT be
mo.e eloquent with reasons for the
prosperity Of the American people.
When we think Of the bundens which
are laid upon us by our politicians
and Office holders we groaD, but our
condition is happy one compared
with that of the European taxpayer.
England paws her Queen salary OF
100000; Austria and Germany each
pay their Emperors about s4,000,000
per annum. The Gar manages to
exist with salary Of S12.500 900, and
even little Greece pays her king over
q quarter Of million dollars per
year. During the seven years OF the
Revolutionary way we paid the i'm
mortal Washington simply his actual
expenses; we pay our presidents but
$4,000 per year and we paid Lincoln
but 5000. We pay the Secretary
of State $1,000; England pays the
Queens hairdresser 10000; we pay
the vice-President $4,000, England

CONSIDERATION OF ARBITRATION TREATY
X. H. Wade, Manager California

Found Dead in His Apartments
at the Hollenbeck Hotel,
Los Angeles.

Washington, March 12.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has
been ir session today considering the ar
bitration treaty. Senators Gray and
Mills were not present. The question
amendments to the treaty consumed
most of the time, the contention being az
to whether the treaty should be amended
as when reported at the last congress, or
whether the Turpie amendment referring
all arbitration agreements back to the
senate for ratification, would cover all
objections raised to the treaty. 1t is
probable that the committee will have
the treaty under consideration for sew
eral days.
The committee adjourned after an
hours session, to meet again on Monday.
Chairman Davis would make no an
nouncement concerning the days work
except, that no conclusions were reached.

thews was hanged today for the murder
of James l. Irwin, a prosperous farmer,
who was found dead IN bed on the night
of August 2, 1885, his brains having been
blown ont with shotgun. Investiga-
tion disclosed guilty intimacy between
the mans wife and Geo. Matthews. I'm.
bedded in the brain of the murdered man
was a scrap of newspaper, used as wad-
ding for the load, and in Matthew's cabin
was found the newspaper from which it
was torn. A verdict of murder was se-
cured against Matthews. He then made
a confession duplicating Mrs. Irwin.
When she was put on trial, Matthews re-
fused to testify against her, and her ac-
quttal followed.

THE BILL DISMISSED.
A Decision from the Vice-Chancell0r
OF the New Jersey Court of Chan
Gerry Dismissing Bill Against
the American Tobacco
Company.

Trenton, N. j., March 12.-The vice
chancellor this morning filed with the
clerk of the court of chancery decision
Diminishing bill brought against the
American tobacco company.
The syllabus of the opinion is as fol-
lows: First: The court of equity does
not possess power to restrain corpora
tion organized under forms of law from
performing acts within its corporate
power, merely because some of the steps
taken in the organization Of the corpora
tion may have been irregular, or because
the purpose of the incorporators may
have been to establish monopoly.
Second. Under these conditions, quo
warranto is not an appropriate proceed.
ing to challenge the right of corporation
to exercise the franchise.
Third.-A trading or manufacturing
corporation, until its charter is annulled
by proceedings at law, has the same
authority as an individual trader OF
manufacturer, to sell or oonsiRn it's goods
to select its selling agents, and impose
conditions as to whom shall sell, AND the
terms upon which it will sell.
