The Milwaukee Carnival,

The floats for the Carnival Pageant,
at Milwaukee, next month, are rapidly
nearing completion, and it is claimed
by the Directors of the Association that
this feature alone will excel anything
of the kind ever attempted in the
North. The twenty floats will cost
about S2OOOOOO.
About two hundred full blooded
Indians will be brought direct from the
reservations to take part i'll the
Milwaukee Carnival Celebration, from
June 9th to July 3rd. They will play
games of all kinds, build birch bark
canoes, carry on their wonderful bead
work. and live at their Indian Village
as near like their native life as possible.
There will be a war dance during the
week.

school, at least, by that firm intelligence
which secures unhesitating obedience
and saves authority from being defied.
If some of our children haye weak
intellects, small self-control and but
little of that peculiar force that charac-
terizes a strong personality, these def
ciencies are due to unwholesome sur
roundings, unrestrained and undirected
activities and insufficient and demoral-
izing training. The teacher must not
make the mistake Of failing to recognizes
the aptltudes and deficiencies of the
child, and hence put forth small effort
to develop the former or correct the
latter. There is danger of this in the
fact that the children are dealt with in
the mass; they lose their individuality
and power of independent work or
thought.
School officials seem to fail to recog-
nize the fact that there is something
masculine about every girl and some-
thing feminine about every boy. They
do not appreciate how much both need
the help that is gained by associating
with brainy and vigorous man, and
refined, cultured and brainy woman.
1t is from the one that the children
derive self-reliance, masculine force of
character and an ambitious quality and
fibre. By the other the harsher lines
are softened, the personality is rounded
and balanced and the gentler elements
emphasized. This dual association
arouses the intellect, schools the emo
tons and strengthens the will. 1t was
a calamitous day for the children when
the men were SO largely excluded from
the schools and so from vital and forma-
tive contact with them. Women should
predominant in but should not constitute
our entire teaching force.

WARNING TO USERS OF BAKING
POWDERS.
A Case of Poisoning, Cheap Alum Baking
Powder the Cause.
[Logansport Ind, Times.1


"Dr. Souder was summoned by
telegraph last Sunday night to attend
the family of Braden Harper, living
southwest of Logansport. Four of the
family were poisoned from eating
who had not partaken of the dumplings,
were well, while the mother and three
children were in serious condition.
1t is probable that had not vomiting
ensued, omptying the stomach, the four
would have died from the effects. 1t is
supposed the poison was caused from
the baking powder used in making the
dumplings. The wife probably added a
larger quantity than she usually did,
which in the greater quantity proved a
noXious poison. The baking powder
used was branded the < manu-
factured bv the X K This should
be u warning in using cheap baking
powders, which flood the country.
People buy them because they can sell
them for profit. In many stores one
cannot purchase II standard brand.
\ on have to purchase the cheap stuff
or do without. We are of the opinion
that most of the prize baking powders
belong to this class
The above makes plain the caution

baking powders that are put in the
houses as samples, or offered by grocers
simply because they are cheaper than
we'll known brands. Burnt alum or
phOsphates we are assured will be
found in nearly every brand selling
from 20 to 80 cents. whereas a flst-class
powder is usually sold in stores for
about 10 cents per pound. Some of the
powders that are peddled from house
to house at thirty cents per pound are
said to be made of alum, although they
print misleading notices on their labels
affecting the public to believe that they
are made of cream of tartar or some
harmless ingredient.
WHY people in order to save a few
pennies on pound can Of baking
powder which may last for months in
ordinary family use will take up with
every scheme that comes along, or
comply with the request of every one
who asks them to try some new poison,
is one of the things that people of
common sense cannot understand.

Those present who listened to the
rendition of above program were
delighted and spoke in the highest
terms of the accuracy of execution
shown by each pupil. They played
without notes and each performer was
faultless in touch, harmony and rendi-
ton.
It will be noticed that Miss Pray,
daughter of Pres. Pray of the State
Normal, Stevens Point, also a pupil of
Miss Rood's rendered four numbers in
most charming manner.
Miss Katharine Rood has certainly
proven herself an artist of the highest
order, and her pupils cannot find ex-
preston suitable to convey their
admiration and love for her as a lady
and instructor.

CITY OF LEGEND AND MYTH.
Some Incidents in Commemorntion Of IN
Anniversary In Rome.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
On Thursday. April 81, the city of
Rome celebrated the two thousand six
hundred and fifty-frst year Of its his
torical existence. This does not in
clude it's legendary or mythical exist
ence The poets look back through
legend and myth to the period when
Aeneas. wandering to Italy after the
fall OF Troy, found King Evander rul-
ing a comparatively well regulated
state on the Palatine hill.
Nevertheless. the historical age of
Rome, dating from Romulus. Is quite
enough for ordinary purposes.
1t Is not easy to devise a mode of
celebrating such a birthday, and that
has been made evident by the various
modes In which, Throughout the ages.
history records that the day has been
kept.
Now flags hang from the municipal
and governmental buildings. but indi-
viduals take little note of the day.
The capitol bell was runs In the morn

In ancient days the Romans insti-
tuted the feas.s known as Paiilie, de-
scribed by Ovid in his "Fasti."

Rome were still in the neyday of their
wealth and influence. Prince Don Marc
Antonio Borghese gave a sumptuous
feast to the Roman a~ristocracy at his
villa near the Pincian hill. His exam
pie was followed in subsequent years
by other Roman princes.

Strangers and tourists in Rome pat

the grand old ruin as IL 1t were the
final scene in a pantomime does seem
a proclamation.
During the seaso in Rome. says
the French historian OF Rome, J.. J.
Ampere. an idle and elegant crowd
brings to the Coliseum its frivolous GU
riosity, it's ordered admiration and Its
phrases culled from books. On certain
evenings, when the weather is fine and
the moon shines brightly. the Coliseum
resembles a salon. and there are nearly
as many carriages here as at h en-
trance TO the grand opera
And again strangers occasionally
find amusement in seeing the Coliseum
lightened up with Bengal lights. That
says the French historian, closely re
sembles the finale of a melodrama. and
people might well prefer the radiant
sunshine or the ubdue light or tns
moon to this illumination.
Nevertheless be owns that the frs
time he saw the Coliseum thus ablazs
with crimson hres its history came
wildly before his mind. He recognized
that at that moment II appeared In Its

Filibuster's Case.

Filibuster's Case.
Washington, June 10.-The full text
of the recommendation of the attorney
general in the ease of Captain Hart,
who has been pardoned by the presi-
dent, is as follows:
washington, ID. c., June S.-To the
President: Sir-In the matter of the
pardon of Capt. John d.. Hart. / have
the honor to advise you as follows: II
March, 1897, Hart was tried and con-
victed of having violated the provisions
of section 502s of the revised statutes Of
the United States in providing the
steamship Laurada to carry a cargo
of arms and ammunition and about is
men as a military expedition to the ISL
and of Cuba against the government of
Spain, with which the United. States
was then at peace. He was sentenced
by Judge Butler, before whom he was
tried, to Va a fine of $500 and costs
ard To be imprisoned for a period OF
two years. An appeal from this judg-
ment was taken to the circuit court of
appeals for the Third circuit, from
which the judgment of the court was
affirmed, two judges voting for affirm
Inc and n dissenting.
The application for a pardon is
based upon two grounds: First, IL IS
suggested that the dissenting opinion
o. JuuSe AcutSon oI the circuit cur
of appeals raises a doubt as to the I'M
lawful character of the expedition, and
that, on count of this doubt. the
prisoner ought not to be subjected to
punishment; second, .that war with
Spain having been begun n now ac-
tually being carried on. the reasons for
prosecution and punishment of Cap
tain Hart no longer exist. and he should
therefore be set free.
II canno concur in the first ground
suggested as a valid reason for pardon.
Judge Butler. before whom the case
was tried, was satisfied of the guilt OF
the defendant. Two out Of three judges
of the circuit court of appeals were of
the opinion that Hart was guilty and
properly convicted. IL Is manifest that
only the majority of the court al de-
clare the law. The executive. as well
as the other departments OF govern
ment, and all n people must regard
judgments Of the court duly pronounced
as expressive Of the law until they are
