Prof. Richard WeltOn, of New York

IN music IN our Public Schools. is here

day week, October the 3rd, inst. The
metnod OF instruction is called Tonic
SOFIA, the complete title being 'sThe
Tonic Sofia Method of Learning to

OF Tonic Sofia in this wav: ''Sol-fa''
Is an old English word to be found in
shakespeare and signifies the use of
the syllable doh, ray, me, fab. SO. lab.

always been our usage in America. Int
not that OF the continent of Eu-
rope. Method" means the order of

Iohlc Sofia Method" because its
order IS better than that of anv other:
because more perfectly graded. il is
easier than any other. 1t deveIops. he
says, the musical intelligence better

Gu SGIniracy and greater ease than anv other.

'ake up the course in all grades.

THERE seems to be a hitch in the
case of the extradition of Mrs. Botkin
for the poisoning of Mrs. Dunning
and Mrs. Deane. Governor Budd, of
California, wants extradition papers
having the particulars and strength of
an indictment, and it is just possible
that she may not be brought here for
trial, and thus justice be defeated.
California is said to be the only State
in the Union in which the governor
has the right to demand evidence to
prove claims contained in extradition
papers.

the mill is standing idle and can be bought
for less than half it could be built for. A
second thing f~avoring is the fact that a
good deal of hard wood>stands quite near
the v~illage-acres and acres of it within
two miles Of this mill-which could be
purchased at a reasonable price. No plaoe
in the county offers better inducements
for such an enterprise than West Burke.
Tbs mills, lumber, people to operate and
the capital are here; the mill at half price,
lumber plenty, near and cheap, men hum
cry for work. Compare this locality with
st. Johnsbury and everything favors the
business here. Rents are cheaper, cost of
living less, and help could work for less
pay. The material is nearer, more album
dant, and could be put into chair stock
and sold much less than a concern could
afford to sell for. A half dozen men can
benamed in the village who could own and
operate quite a plant with surplus funds
and not withdraw a dollar from funds in
business. e some patriotic citizen would
start this enterprise for the manufacture
Of chair stock or for anything else more
promising, manufactured from hard wood,
he would find plenty of encouragement

cit will not be war;" said Mr. Ma
son. 1--WE will simply pull rotten
tooth. If 1t should prove to have been
the work Of an enemy, as have al
ways contended, the freedom of Cuba
will come in short order. Every CIV
ilized power in Europe will give the
United States moral support, for no
self-respectlng nation can CountenanCe
such barbariaC treachery as sent that
ship to the bottom of the ocean.
"There we were in a condition of
peace, visiting Havana on friendly
mission and whatever might have
been the suppressed feelings of the
populace, it was the duty Of Spain to
protect us from all corners. The
Maine was like strong man asleep in
the house of friends, trusting implicitly
in the protestations of good will on
the part of those whose hospitality he
was accepting.
"The disaster to the Maine could
not have come from the inside. Naval
experts declare its impossibility. The
blow was dealt by an enemy and Spain
is responsible, however, in another
way. The Maine was sent there on an
alleged friendly mission. That was
as hypocritical piece of business as
De Lome's acceptance of the White
House hospitality and his BLACKBOARD
ism of the President.
1.-The administration died, to use
the language of displomacy, when i,
said the Maine was going to Havana
on friendly mission. That was no,
its object, and every precaution should
have been taken. We have endeavor
ed to 'out Spaniard' the Spaniard in
following his tactics, and while we
have been bowling and scraping and
saying nice things with our hands or
our pistol pocket, he has been doing
the same, but like the true Spaniard
used his stl'e.to as he bowed.
"When the Maine went into The
harbor at Havana | remarked to &
few Of my friends that she might neve,
come out. She went there, as | have
said, playing the hypocritical part of
a friend. Had she gone as she ought,
as an enemy in search of a foe, tht
Maine would have given differen
account of herself and would not now
be at the bottom of the sea.

order whole fleet to Havana, and
want to see the fleet 60 there on bust

This, however, is not to be expected
