Bigelows, for a nominal payment, will
lease the use OF the water for power for
a period of years.
There Is a problem raised by the ques-
ton of the water rights in the Pequan,'
rock above the Newark intake which will
concern this city at some time in the fu-
ture. The city purchased the rights at
Charlottesburg at q cost of $4,000. The
East Jersey Water Company has pur-
chased the rights of the La Rues near
Newfoundland. and after 1900. when New
ark comes into full possession of the Pc
quannock works, the East Jersey
Company will urquestionably claim the
right to retain control of the La Rue prop
erty and lease or sell the right to use the
power. Such action would not interfere
with the right of the city, the company
wculd claim. to regulate the flow of the
river in such manner as may be necessary
to supply drinking. water. The company
on the same ground, could claim the right
to exercise some control over the power
furnished At the Bigelow mill IL the water
rights at that point are purchased. and at
any other place where water rights have
been secured.

CASE OF THE LUN SISTERS
Judge Munger Hears the Testimony
Concerning the Three Chi
ncse Girls.

All day yesterday was given to the TAX
ing of testimony in the Lun sisters case
before Judge Munger and the evidence was
all given in, leaving only the pleadings to
be heard before the court will decide
whether the girls may remain in Omaha or
shall be sent back to China.
The federal court room was a typical
almond-eyed congress yesterday afternoon,
about fifty Chinese being present either as
witnesses or listeners in the case. On a
request made by the United States district
attorney all the Chinese excepting the in
terpreter were excluded from the room dur
ing the taking of a part of the testimony,
but the orientals waited in the corridors
and returned to the court room as soon as
possible.
The testimony in the case was very sim
liar to that given in Judge Scott's court.
The three girls declared that they had been
treated kindly by the Meh Lee Wah Village
company and that no indecent proposals
had been made to them. They denied all
the allegations made by Miss Wykoff and
others that their quarters were dirty and
uncomfortable and expressed themselves as
being greatly pleased with the treatment
they had received at the hands of Lem Yue
and other members and agents of the COM
pany. Jim Wye and Wah Lee testified that
the girls were offered for sale at 81, 500 and
Jim Wye swore that Lem Yue of the viii
lage company asked him if he knew any
Cinnamon who would be apt to buy them.
Lem Yue denied ever having met Jim Wye
and testimony was offered to show that
Jim Wye and several other Cinnamon made
the boast that it would be cheaper for the
company to pay them 5000 or $400 than to
let the case be taken into the courts.
Miss Wykoff, the missionary who has
taken such an interest in the case, was on
the stand and testified that the way the
Chinese men and women were living at
the quarters at Thirteenth and Chicago
streets is very improper according to Chi
nese ideas. She found men and women in
the same room upon visiting the place, an
unheard of thing in China, and saw many
things which led her to believe that the
girls were brought here for no good pur-
nose

cipal Henry White Callahan Of the state
preparatory school OF Colorado considered
the secondary school very necessary MS a
preparatory institution inasmuch as it COM
bined both the academic and high school
features.
The hope Of a general unifcation and
uniformity of American educational stand

Gates of the Iowa college. Why should we
not have as high a standard of education
in the west as in the east?" he asked. De-
ploring greatly the meagcr preparation re-

educational institutions, President w. S.

Louis said the great object of education,
after all. is to teach men how to think

The idea of coordination of the secondary
schools and colleges was the main one in
the thread of discussion.

Concerning Colleges.

such a differentiation of the distinctiyely

such as that of Yale. Harvard, etc, by say
ing that IL has been due TO lacking on the
professional course, medical, law and the
like. There never was a time in the west,
said he, when the college idea was so es-
sential as now. The re~yolutionization OF
the American university system he at

The Kindergarten teachers closed a very
successful conference yesterday afternoon
with exercises and the reading of bright,
thoughtful papers.
The conference was opened with the sing
ing by Miss Fannie Arnold of this city,
who gave Little Boy Blue and a sweet
lullaby. An excellent paper on kindergar-
ten workers was read by Mrs. w. w. Key
sor of Omaha. She gave a mothers ideal
of n kindergarten teacher.
"She should be a cultivated woman; that
is, a woman of education, refinement and
| ideality. Nowhere in the world are there
qualifications so much needed or necessary.
A young girl is a sweet and charming
creaturo-her lack of experience makes her
so, but she lacks that insight of a ma
| tured woman Mrs. Keysor's paper was
highly praised because she dealt so aptly
with the strengthening of the kindergarten.
Miss Caroline NJ. c. Hart, director of
the kindergarten Training School of Balti-
more, presented a paper on Froebel songs
for children, accompanied by "a talk on the
requisite qualifications of a teacher, who,
she said, should understand the very ma

highly c~omplimented.
Miss May C. McCulloch, supervisor of the
kindergartens in the schools of St, Louis,
entertained the gathering with a bright
talk on "The Story Hour" She illustrated
her talk with two stories from the chill

The discussions were led by Mrs. Carroll
