Mr.. Goodhue must certainly be Il bic
hearted man. Having donated $4,000
to the city of Barre is it not the duty of
every taxpayer to sing the praises of the
Springfield philanthropist? This man
who was even willing to give $500 for

such a vast amount of gold. Does any

EDUCATION IN ALASKA.
Grand Jury Severely Criticises the
Agent Holding Office There.


Juneau, Alaska. via Seattle, June ID.
The grand jury of the United States dis
trict court for Alaska has made Il sensa-
tional report on the conduct of education
al matters in Alaska.
The report reads: "In the hope that it
may be able to effectually reach some
remedial power or authority, the grand
jury desires to direct attention to the de-
plorable condition of educational affairs
In Alaska.
For the reason that it believes that Il
large sum of money has been uselessly
expended and, the truth not being made
manifest, will continue to be expended
under the direction of the general agent
of education in Alaska while yet the
neglect of our educational interests ia
prolonged, the grand jury would hesita e
to refer even casually to his extraordi-
nary scheme for revolutionizing the mode
of travel and transportation of mails and
supplies in Alaska by the introduction of
domesticated reindeer from Siberia. But
we submit that his utter neglect of du-
ties for the performance of which he is
paid a salary and the consequent do
moralization Of our educ ational system
demand and justify even a harsher
criticism than that which follows.

r1OST POPULAR LADY,
MOLINEUX IN COURT.
Argument on His Lawyers Writs
Postponed Until Wednesday.

Postponed Until wednesday.
New York. June Ia Roland B. Moi-
neuX, with an eager, eXpectant look upon
his face, sat in special term, part two,
Of the supreme court and listened to his
counsel, Weeks & Battle, invoke the aid
Of three writs in his favor. The writs,
which We're issued on Saturday by jus
tice Gildersleeve, were writs of habeas
corpus, certiorari and prohibition and
were all made returnable before Justice
Hildersleeve
The purpose OF the writ of prohibition
was to prevent Justice Jerome of the
rourt Of special sessions from proceeding
with the hearing against Molineux on the
warrant charging him with the murder
Of Mrs. Kate ]. Adams. The object Of
the writ of certiorari was to enable the
supreme court to review all the proceed
lngs heretofore taken against Molineux,
so that any legal defect in them might
be taken advantage of by his counsel
The third and more important writ, that
Of habeas corpus, was to test the legality
OF the arrest and detention Of the &C
cused man.
1t was on this writ that Molineux was
brought before Justice Gildersleeve by
Warden Hagan and keeper OF the
Tombs prison. He was handcuffed when
he entered the courtroom, and smile OF
satisfaction passed across his somewhat
emacated face when the steel bracelets
were removed, and he grasped the hand
Of his father, General Molineux, who
was present when he arrived.
Assistants to the District Attorneys La
Barber and Osborne appeared to oppose
the writs, and, after consultation wish
Barlow S. Weeks, announced that it WAS
their desire that the hearing on all Of the
writs be adjourned until Wednesday. Mr..
Weeks said that he had no objection :,
the adjournment. Mr. Osborne said that
Magistrate Jerome was out Of town On
Saturday and for that reason was not
ready to proceed with the writ Of pro-
hibition.
Justice Gildersleeve finally adjourned
the case until II O'Clock ON Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Osborne said that he
would serve copies of his return to the
writs on Weeks and Battle. Moineuy
was taken back to the Tombs.
