ONE CONVICT CAUGHT.
Harry Wright, Cracker, Found
Under the Shirt Factory Boiler.

The penitentiary officials caught one Of
the escaped conyicts yesterday Harry.
Wright, il member of the safe-craeking
gang. Wright for some reason failed to
escape from the enclosure along with the
rest and so hid under the engine in the
basement Of the shirt factory. Mr..
Alexander, the hospital steward sus-
pected that something was wrong in the
boiler room and the investigation was
made and Wright found. Wright had
been serving as a cook. A heavy patrol
was put on after the escape of the CON
yicts. and so he had not been able to
get away at night as was his evident in
tention
Honeycutt and Steeple, of the prison
force, were out all day yesterday in
search of the conyicts who got away,
but nothing was heard from them at
the prison. The officials think that
they are probably on the trail.

DEATH OF MISS KITTIE
PARKER.

How strange is death! Verify
like a thief in the night does the
pale monster come unbidden into
homes, takes away our loved ones
and leaves us with hearts almost
ready to break from sorrow and
grief.
There is a never ending process
sion from the cradle to the grave.
It is a grand thing to live in
this beautiful world, which is only
Gods preparation room for the
s'mansion in the skieS.'
Every man and woman forms a
fractional part in Gods plan Of
the ages, and in order for His
plan to be beautiful and symmet-
rical, each one must faithfully
perform the work God gives him
to do.
There are many who fully re-
alize this great truth. One of their
number was Miss Kittie Parker.
She followed in the Masters
steps, for hers was a life of SER
vice, faithfully serving the chill
dren as a teacher during the week,
and faithfully serving them in the
Sunday School as she tenderly,
lovingly told them the old, old
story Of Jesus and His love.
Miss Parker was sick only q
week. She was taken sick az Faro,
where she was teaching at the
time, and died November 18th,
1899, and and was buried at the
old family burying ground at Mt.
Calvary church, Wayne county.
She leaves an aged mother, one
sister, Miss Fannie, and four
brothers, Messrs. George w.
Ezekiel, William and Richard
Parker.
The news of her death carried
sadness into many homes il
Wayne county. A faithful, con.
scientious, christian woman, bel
influence for good Will be known
"Some sweet day bye and bye,'
when sswe shall see Him face tt
face," where there will be no sor
row, no parting, no death.

CHILD STUDY.
A Public kindergarten and the Public
School.

A Public kindergarten and the Public
School.
Almost daily we read of some
city in this great land of ours,
which has completed the cycle of
public education by making the
Kindergarten a part of its Public
School system.
Why is it that the people are
recognizing that this peculiar
form Of infant training should be
a part of our system of education?
Because it has been shown by
actual experience, that all the
work of the kindergarten is lay
ing a solid foundation, training a
direct path for the work Of later
period of school life. "The pur-
pose of education says Nine.
Marenholtz Won Bulow, sis to aid
natural development in all it's
fullness. Since then development
begins with the first breath, so
also does education begin there"
This is the idea which Froebel
has ~concretely presented to the
world in the Kindergarten.
The kindergarten begins with
the earliest years Of a child's life,
and uses them for true educa-
tional purposes. At that age they
are easily led and Influenced.
They are taught to do the right
and learn the right and do it for
it's own sake. Then when a child
enters a school where the demands
of knowledge and instruction
crowd and almost overpower ed
ucation you have laid a solid
foundation for the upbuilding Of
character. If a kindergarten
means this moral upbuilding of
chartcter, which class of child is
most in need of it's beneficial in
huence?
IF then a kindergarten al give
these children such discipline as
to teach the lesson of life in a
right spirit, how much more val
liable and indispensable does it
I become.
He is taught how to use his
hands as we'll as his head; every
thing he acquires must be through
his own eXertions. Thus he learns
self reliance and expresses him
self with ease. No one can fail to
see the benefit Of this in later
life.
They are brought in closer
touch and communion with every
living thing in this broad univer-
Sc. Surely this will help the

full laws of Nature and hence the
greatest truths of God. The Pri.
mary School and Kindergarten
could do nor work together
with perfect sympathy. A Kin

witty and thoroughly sympathetic
hence the primary teacher gladly
accepts the same Kindergarten
methods.
"And it is delightful to note tina.
the same methods which MAKE
the kindergarten a highly social
lied community where there i
much mutual sympathy and co
operation, operate also in the
school,"

required. So far as dollars and cents
are concerned, the public might as well
support the superfluous man in idle
ness. Personally, the discharged man
might be the better off had the trust
not been formed which occasioned his
discharge, but, if his wages are de-
Quoted from the price of the product,
the consumer is the gamer, and, as the
consumers outnumber the discharged
men, there is no reason why the max
i'm of the greatest good to the greatest
number should not be applied. So far
as this point of the charge is concern
ed, it applies with equal force to every
labor-saving device that was ever in
vented. They all deprive some men of
employment, but at the same time les
sen the cost Of production. In either
case the public, if permitted to enjoy
it's fair share of the benefits of such
diminished cost of production, have no
just cause of complaint.
But the second point of the charge
against the trust is that the public are
not permitted to enjoy their fair share
of the advantages of diminished
cost of production, but, on the con-
trary, having destroyed competition,
the trusts ARBITRARILY fix the prices of
their products; that in many instances,
while the cost of production is reduced,
the price to the consumer is increased;
50 that the public, instead of deriving
any benefit from the improved meth
ods of production, are actually injured.
The question would appear to be, not
how to suppress trusts, but how to Sc
cure to the public the benefits of their
improved industrial methods. Shall we
fix, by statute, the prices at which
they are to furnish their products to
the consumer? Even if such a plan
were practicable, which no sane man
believes, it would be intolerable. It
would violate every notion of property
rights. It would be more futile than
the farcical attempt to regulate rail-
road tolls. There is but one feasible
plan, and that is what may be called
restricted socialism,-the government
ownership of every subject of monop-
oily. The trust principle has come to
stay. Its application marks an advance
in Industrial methods. The trusts
have solved the problem that has vexed
men in every age, and that is, no" 10
the great captains Of industry to tn
destroy competition. Legislation vii
never prevent them from availine
themselves of this wonderful discovery
However unpopular the trusts, the dis
covery itself is popular. All men, from
lowest laborer, to the extent of their
ability, are applying it to their adVan-
tage Individual effort is a thing OF
the past The world WIFI never return
to the wasteful methods of the COM
petitive system. AS we'll might we ex-
pect it to return to the old method OF
transportation, of transmitting news
or of farming; one is as likely to hap
pen as the other.
But socialism, even restricted social
ism, is not a pleasant thing for many
of our people to contemplate: but to
such it may be said that the world IN
the grasp Of private combinations is
far more appalling spectacle. Yet that
is the alternative. Men now living will
see cne or the other Of these condi-
tions prevail.
