the City Library association of Spring.
neid, Mass, will hold a geographical and
geological exhibition in the Science build
ing, next March. The first purpose Of this
Undertaking Is to show the latest and best
material for the use Of instructors Of all
grades, from the primary school and kinder
sarten to the college and university. The
display Will not attempt to be historical.
1t will be devoted chiefly to the results Of
geographical and geological study of the
last few years. With the above object in
view the association desires to secure copies
OF the best textbooks, periodicals, maps,
charts. relief maps. models, globes, lantern
slides, collections Of specimens and devices
OF al kinds for teaching geography and
geology. Another and very important object
Of the exhibition Is to interest the general
pubic In recent progress in the science of
geography and geology and to demonstrate
tnAt progress, as far as possible, by the
display Of published results. The exhibit
ton will follow in the main the lines Of that
held In Brooklyn in March, 1891, afterwards
shown In Boston and New York, and now
permanently established in the Institute Of
Arts and Sciences in Brooklyn.
Military instructions In schools and COL
leses throughout the country Is impaired,
according to the inspector generals report,
to about $4,000 students annually, and from
this source the government was enabled
early In the year to draw largely for soldiers
skilled In the art OF war. The inspector
general recommends the annual selection
OF some of the best students from our
military institute for appointments In the
army-an expedient which might be en-
ployed with advantage In the event Of a
large statutory increase Of the regular army
force.

one, showing that the year had been marked
by a larger attendance, more enthusiasm.

In his charge TO the jury Judge slabaush
avoided the point on which the Oerter case
was reversed BY the supreme court. In that
case his instructions covered Oerter either
a. Q principal or as acting In conjunction
with another. The supreme courts inter-
probation was to the effect that the instruc-
lion had pertained to Oerter alternatively a.
. principal or a. an alder and abettor. A
considerable portion OF Mr.. Bowman's argu.
ment had o bearing upon the fact that Nor.
ton had not been charged as an accessory
but - a principal pure and simple, whereas
from the point OF view taken by the de.
Tense there had been no evidence whatever
to convict Norton a. . principal, however
much 1t might show him to have been an
accessory. Two instructions asked by the
counsel for Norton covered this same
ground. but they were refused by the court.
Judge Slabauga's charge simply went over
the points OF the presumption OF innocence,
the necessity for conviction beyond a
reasonable doubt. the definition Of the term
