selflshness resulted in public servants
who loYed their personal interest
above their couLtry, Prize-giving
was TOO often rewarding traits more
due TO ancestors than to the individ-
ual. Abnormal activity was aroused
by the hope OF reward. Inordinate
ambition was produced by holding out
prizes and reward giving In schools, TO
the suppression and loss Of the nobler
qualities and generous interests.
School rewards could not measure
effort, character, environment and
home surroundings. Educated work
brings its own reward. The Kingdom
Of Heaven Is within and lack OF faith
In humanity Is the greatest intidellty.
There is no difference between scien-
tiiic truth and sacred truth.

Discusses Child Mature Read Col. Park
er's Lecture On Rewards.
The Salem Child Study Club met at
the Presbyterian church parlors,
Wednesday afternoon. 1t snow num-
bers 33 members.
Quotations we're read by members
In response To roll call by the secre-
tary, Mrs. II. j. Hendricks, and some
beautiful sentiments were expressed.
The first Mother-play, from Froe-
bells immortal text book, was studied
the week before, and 1t was continued
at this session.
The subject next week Is "The
Little Gardner" from the Motherplay
book.
Mrs. Ogle, the reader, read an ex-
tract from the kindergarten Maga-
zine on development OF character
through overcoming obstacles. Fol-
lowing are sentiments brought out:
Lifes struggle Is toward complete
self-consclousness. Man became strong
by conquerlng weakness. We grow
religious by living religion. "The
desting Of man as rational being Is
TO become conscious Of the divine and
to reveal 10 with elf-determl nation
aud freedom" This Is Froebel's de-
Iinit'on Of the purpose OF education,
the bringing OF the individual into
harmony with the divine.
This led to a discussion that nearly
carried some OF the ladies off their
feet.
p. II. Barnum was quoted as say
ing "The busy child will be the
happy child, and the happy child will
grow up to be an honest man or
woman"
Mrs. A. N. Moores said there was
often great injustice done TO chill
dren who got into what we call mis-
chief and we're punished for II, simply
because there was nothing provided
for them TO do,
Mrs. Hendricks was not agreed with
some one who said the first two years
we're the most trying for the mother
and child,
Mrs. Ogle brought out the thought
that owing To the fact that little
girls were employed with the do
nestle occupations with the mother
in the home, while there were no
corresponding duties for boys with
their fathers, II was easier To bring
up girls,

But dwell not always In the walls

We build not on the ancient ways

Yet trust no less In the God whom

Changing their creed but keeping fast

Freely the ancient forms OF thought

Asking what work today the Spirit

Afloat, but not adrlft upon the tide.
Dare Truths broad seas, In faith our

A Happy Supprise.

A delightful surprise party was
held last evening at Central Chapel
10 East Salem 10 honor of Grandma
Cordlngly. At precisely 7.30 o'lock the
friends OF the venerable lady began to
file into her home until every nook
and corner Of the cosy lutte cottage
was crammed to its utmost and still
many were outside. 1t was apparent
that more commodious quarters would
be necessary for the occasion so the
whole party repaired to Central
Chapel near by.
w. Il. RlgdOn acted as master Of
ceremonies and 10 a neat little speech
presented Grandma, with all the MEM
bers Of her family, to the friends in
formal manner. A circle was quickly
formed around the spacious hall and
as each passed the platform Grandma
was greeted with hearty hand
shake by every one in the room.
GrIndma was called upon for a
response but her heart was too full for
utterance through the mouth. The
crystal clustering OF dew drops as IL
we're, that gathered around her eyes
spoke in louder and more emphatic
terms Of the Inward Joy and gratitude
OF heart, than the most eloquent
words Of tongue or pen. After the
formal greeting was over the party
joined 10 singing one OF Grandma
favorite selections OF church hymns.
John w. West (happy jack then
delighted all by the rendition In, his
original and peculiar manner, OF his
unique defamation. Mr.. s. Bur
rans then sang in most delightful
manner, and responded to an encore,
after which all INDUCED in games and
solial converse while the ladies' pre-
pared feast OF good things which
later proved one OF the most interest
ing features OF the splendid occasion.
AS the two hands Of the clock met
In harmony at the top Of the dial, all
rose greeting grandma and her family
a kind goodnight and repaired TO their
homes believing that they had at.
tended one OF the most successful
and pleasant parties OF ;he season.

THE PRESIDENT
 HAS REFUSED
 TO RECALL LEE
Despite the Request of the Span ish Foreign Minister the Consul General Will Re-

MADRID, March G. Senor Gullon, Spanish Min ister of Foreign Affairs, re- gently intimated to United States Minister Woodford that the Spanish Govern ment desired the recall from Havana of Consul-General Lee, and that the American warships which have been designated to convey sup plies to Cuba for the relief of the sufferers there should be replaced by merchant vessels in order to deprive the assistance of the recon centrados of an official char acter.
 Minister Woodford cab1ed the request to the Washing ton Government, which re- piled, refusing to recall General Lee in the present circumstance or to counter mand the orders for the dis patch of the war vessels, making the representation that the warships are not fighting vessels.

vana sailors evidence strongly point ing to a plot to destroy the Maine, and that he filed a report with the State Department expressing the opinion that although the Spanish Government was not in any way re- sponsible for the Maine's destruction, it appears the work was done by Spaniards who were sympathizers of the Weyler regime. In this case de- mana for indemnity from Spain must follow, and inasmuch as it is almost Government is making active prepa- rarions for possible trouble.
 It was reported tonight that at the Cabinet meeting on next Tuesday Secretary Long would take occasion to explain to the President and his fellow Cabinet members why he had published his statement on last Tues day tending to absolve Spain from responsibility. This is only another false rumor. Secretary Long's state ment was made after consultation with his fellow Cabinet members. It can be stated on high authority that the Administration does not now and has not at any time believed the Maine's explosion resulted from acci- dent, but for obvious reasons could not assume any other position, for, as one of the officials said tonight:
 "If it should appear that it was really an accident, the United States Government will have nothing to take back, whereas, if it develops that the Maine was destroyed by de- sign the Administration will be placed in much better position to enforce a demand for indemnity"

I learned to-day that the cruiser Anna zona and the unarmored cruiser of same type which Spain Is reported to have purchased yesterday, had been offered to the United States, but the hesitancv of the President to accept them without ex- press authority from Congress resulted in their loss to this Government and a valuable gain to the Spanish navy in case of war.
 MT. Mckinley Is still considering the advisability of purchasing two battle ships, one protected cruiser. one tor pedo gunboat and four torpedo boat de stroyers. The Spanish Government is negotiating for these ships. and unless the President should take them for the United States they will undoubtedly be sold to Spain upon the production ot the cash. The President and Secretary Long were in earnest consultation this afternoon in regard to the action which should be taken upon the proposition. but so far as could be learned no decis- ion has been reached up to this time
 Before disposing of the matter one way or the other there is reason to believe the President will consult with the leaders in Congress, particularly Sneaker Reed and the chairman of the Senate and House Naval Committees.
