NO BOY LEAfED fftOM n WiNbCN
OF NO. SCHOOL.
On Monday the Evening Journal re-
printed from the Sunday Herald an
item in which It was stated that Miss
Fannie J. Butler, principal Of school
No 3. was about to whip a boy OF the
school when he ran away and leaped
Through a window, falling upon pave
inent and sustaining severe injuries.
The item was accepted by the Evening
Journal in the usual newspaper man
ner Of copying from exchanges, taking
for granted that the original paper had
substantial facts for It's publication.
Miss Butler in a note to the Even
ing Journal says mo boy has jumped
from window, nor made the attempt.
There has not a thing happened at No.
3 school that could give that story the
slightest foundation
Upon receipt of the note from Miss
Butler the Evening Journal sent for the
Herald reporter who furnished the copy
for the item in that paper. He stated
positively that q woman on Jefferson
street. on whom he called concerning
the reported assault on boy by Father
Lyons. told him the story, but alleged
that she could not give the lads name
1t was too late to see Miss Butler and
he made his copy and turned it in.
I.ater he found that the woman had lied
10 him about the Father Lyons case.
lie was given Miss Buffers note to-day
and sent to the jefferson street woman,
who positively denied to him that she
had told him or ever heard about the
nTo z school alleged incident The re-
porter Is willing to make an affidavit
that the woman told him the story as
printed
It Is evident that the woman is q
deliberate mischief-maker and liar. I'M
douhtedly she misled the Sunday Her
aid and the Evening Journal became
her unsuspecting victim, and she has
heen guilty Of slandering MISS Butler.

most sacred rights. We say to the
world here and now. through the Re
form press, that no Populist or other
convention can tie us to Bryan or other
man who indOrses the criminal at
tempts OF the corrupt elements in this
state to pervert the ballot The corner
stone OF a free government is an un-
trammeled ballot and a fair count of
that ballot as cast. Who interferes
with this, who aids and abets the enc
mics OF free ballot, who conspires
with these conspirators, is equally
guilty with them. Who aids and abets
those who would disfranchise us in the
south himself helps to disfranchise us,
helps to rob us Of all that is left in
citizenship, helps to fasten upon us a
curse worse than the gold standard
worse than any infamy Of plutocracy
We appeal to Populists in other states
not to drive us away from them by SUBJ
Jectlng us to the Bourbon politicians
and political brigands with whom Mr..
Bryan has Joined his fortunes. We
sacrificed our feelings in 1896 and ac-
cepted distasteful alliance, and made
the best of a devilish bad job; but we
did not throw our arms around Croker
ism or Goebelism. The Bryan of 1899
is not the Bryan of 1896, and, as for us,
we are through with him. No majority
In any convention can tie us to him
now. We appeal to Populists to help
us recover the Peoples party in 1900
and nominate Populist for President
on Populist platform. as guarantee
OF a free ballot in the South, as well as
the North and West. We do not want
to part company with the Western Pop
ulists. They themselves proposed the
alliance of the South and West at Gin
cinnati in 1891, and pledged their honor
to the union. It only remains to be
seen whether they will be true to their
words, or whether they will break faith
that few spoilsmen may reap crumbs
OF solid comfort in the way of petty
offices to pay for their perfdity.
We do not know how this election
will result; but, result as it may, we
have our minds made up on one point
there is to be no Bryan for us in 1900.
We will have Populist ticket to vote
for, with Populists for leaders; for
nothing can tie us to the man or party
which is committed to a perversion of
the ballot. The gold standard may
triumph today, and by the will of the
people the verdict be reversed tomor-
row; but once give an irresponsible and
political despotism the
power to pervert elections, to make up
false returns, to put aside the voice of
the people, to run riot in fraud and
force without restraint, without punish
ment, and the crack of doom will not
find a release from their imperial sway.

Dog stops an Electric Car.
Alice Pedro, six years old, went out
for walk in the evening with her New
foundland dog, Don, and while crossing
the street car track at North Clark
street and Sunny Side avenue, she
caught her toe and fell to the ground.
Not far to the northward trolley car
was coming toward the child, who,
shocked by the fall lay in the middle
of the track.
1t took the dog about ten seconds to
take mental notes of the situation, and
then he began to show great distress.
He gazed anxiously up the track in the
direction of the approaching car He
pranced about the child and barked
He took her dress in his teeth and
pulled, but the dress tore. For a mo-
ment the dog seemed to be in despair.
The car was coming fast and something
about and started up the track as fast
as his body would allow, to flag the
car.
Barking furiously, the big dog ran
right in the middle of the track. If
there ever was clear case of reason in
animals there was one here. The mo-
torman saw the dog coming and first
thought the beast was mad. He clapped
on the brakes and as the car slowed up
and stopped Don was compelled to run
backward to keep out from under the
wheels. He would not get OF the track.

Growth of English Postal Bank..

Growth of English Postal Bank..
! One of the most remarkable instances
OF the encouragement of national thrift
Is that furnished by the postoff1ce saw
ings banks in England. AS financial
institution the postal bank is less than
half century old in the tight little
island" having opened it's doors In
September, 1861. At the end Of the fol-
lowing year there were 100000 ac
counts aggregating about $3.50 900.
and in the five ensuing years the total
sum deposited averaged about s35. .OOo.-
600. From 1868 to 1875 the average
stood about $90, ,0OO,O 900 and from 1875 to
1880 1t reached the great annual average
Of $145, 100000.
Great as was this phenomenal growth
In deposits with corresponding increase
IN the number of depositors, it was not
until Mr.. Fawcett became the head of
the postoffice department that it achiev-
ed fully the aim of it's promoters in be-
ing an institution that could gather .up
every unemployed penny in England
and make it the nuclus of further saw
lngs. Mr. Fawcett threw himself into
the cause of popularizing the peoples
savings banks with an energy and zeal
that, supplemented by his practical
methods and sagacity, launched the
postOffice bank upon that grander era.
the evidence Of which Is furnished in
the magnificent buildings, covering five
acres OF ground, now rising at West

wales this year. Mr.. Fawcett interest
ed even the children of England in saw
ing by providing the penny stamp slip,
by which the school boy might accumu-
late the minimum deposit of one shill-
ing by pennies at time.
The system as developed by Fawcett
was logically and economically COM
plete, and the results are shown in the
steady and enormous growth Of the
bank ever since. In the years between
1881 and 1885 the deposits rose to an
average of 100000, 900, in 1890 they
rose to 1886, ,OOO, 900, and in 1897 reached
nearly S55O,OOO,OOO The annual deposi-
tors between 1896 and 1897 reached ST.

WOnaan's Sphere.


Vandelia Varnum says: Il confess !
do not know what woman's sphere is
and more than that l do not want to
know. l know that the majority OF
women love first and last and best of all
the home. No power on earth or be-
meath the earth could wrench that love
from them or make them false to it,
know that there are some that fail
there, not from outward conditions, but
from inward conditions
The idea that the bars must be put
up to keep woman in her sphere is too
absurd. AS well bar the heavens to
keep the mother bird on her nest.
so, say, do not want to know what
woman's sphere is, for fear if did l
might want to do as some others do,
clip and trim her to fit their own no.
tions. A king, it is said, once thought
he would give every man in his king
dom suit of clothes. Twenty ordered
them all after one pattern. Some were
found to be too long and some too short,
some too slack and some too tight, and
in each case he ordered the individual to
be clipped or stretched, inflated or
squeezed, according to the needs of the
cOse. That is what some are trying to
do with woman. AS for me, I am will
ing to trust the Lord in making her, and
trust her common sense after she is
made.
1T is ticklish business going back
and behind common sense in dealing
with any question, but those who look
back instead of forward, who counsel
with custom instead of reason, with ira
dition instead of God, are likely to get
in some difficult places For instance.
l ask person why woman should
sing in public and not speak, why
should she recite the thoughts of others
and not her own thoughts; and he can
not answer me, and no one can. l ask
another why she should perform in the
theater half-clad and not, in suitable
attire, speak to the people on the ques-
tions of the day: why she should sit on
public exhibition in the theater box in
scant dress, and not in modest dress
pass quietly to the ballot box and voice
her convictions of right; and he cannot
tell me, and no one can. l ask another
why woman should be worked and
pushed and promoted to everything in
the church and not allowed to represent
the church at her gatherings; why she
should teach and pray and exhort with
or without a text and give bible read
ings, and not be allowed to preach; and
he cannot tell me, and no one can.
"Sick. sick, sick of this idiocy over
'woman's sphere Give man his free
dom, give woman her freedom, and they
will both find their spheres, but let no
one think to escape Gods wrath when

A Feathered Wonder.

Possibly the rarest of all feathered
birds is the "takahe" bird of New Zea-
land. Science names it Notorn's Man
telli. The first one ever seen by white
eyes was caught in 1849. A second
came to white hands in 1851. Like the
first, it was tracked over snow and
caught with dogs, fighting stoutly and
uttering piercing screams of rage until
Cvermastered. Both became the prop
erty of the British museum After that
it was not seen again until 1879. That
years specimen went tosthe Dresden
museum, at a cost of $780,. The fourth,
fiords of Lake Te Anau, in New Zealand,
has been offered to the ~ government
there for the tidy sum of $1,25O Thus
it appears that the, bird, is precious;
worth very much more than its weight
in gold. The value, of course, comes
of rarity. The wise mem were begin
ming to set it down as extinct Scarcity
aside, it must be worth looking at--a
gorgeous creature about the size of a
big goose, with breast, head and neck Of
the richest dark blue, growing dullish
as it reaches the under parts. Back
wings and tail feathers are olive green,
and the plumage throughout has me-
tallic luster. The tail is very short and
has underneath it thick patch Of soft,
nurp white foathorS i

The wings are not rudimentary, but the
bird makes no attempt to use them.
The legs are longish and very stout,
the feet not webbed and furnished with
sharp, powerful claws. The oddest fea-
ture of all is the bill, an ekuilateral tri-
angle of hard pink horn. Along the
edge where it joins the head, there is a
strip of soft tissue much like the rudi-
