STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Bills Affecting It's Organization May
Not Re Passed.

The fight of the nonstate colleges of
Indiana, for representation on the State
Board Of Education, and for voice in the
government of issuing teachers licenses, will,
unless all present plans miscarry, end where
it is, for two years at least. Several days
ago Senator Horner's bill, for the reorgan-
ization of the state board, on the nonstate
plan, was given to the senate committee
on Libraries, and on Monday an effort was
made to take it from that committee and
give it to the committee on education for
the purpose. as charged by the supporters Of
the BILL of killing it, the committee being
known to be antagonistic TO it, So strong
an opposition to the bill has been culti-
waited in the Senate, that the supporters
have it is said begun to feel that the state
school people have outgeneraled them. Be
cause of this a compromise was erected
between the two parties, as represented on
the committees, by which all the conflict
ing bills were reported back TO the Senate
with the recommendation that they be
printed This in itself means nothing or
rather it means that the bills will die OF in
action or be reassgned to committees. In
the latter event they will go to the educa-
ton committee, which will promptly kill the
nonstate bill 1t is probable, however, that
the bills Will simply be printed, with no re-
quest for their recommitment, and the re-
suit will be that none of the bills affecting
the organization of the State Board of Ed
ucation will be passed and the board Will
remain constituted as it is for another two
years at least

AGAINST BARRIERS BILL.
Resolutions Adopted at Meeting
Held Yesterday.

Several of the BARRIERS of this city held a
meeting at the Grand Hotel yesterday, for
the purpose of comprising the defeat of
the bill now before the General Assembly,
for the registration and licensing of bar
bers. Those who attended the meeting con-
tend that the bill is not only unjust to the
BARRIERS, but impTacticable throughout. Sew
eral of those present reported that they
had been in correspondence with prominent
BARRIERS in different sections Of the State,
and had found the sentiment strongly
against the bill Charles Lanier was made
chairman of the meeting and W. A. kersey
was chosen secretary.
The committee on resolutions, represented
the following shops of the city: lanier d
Moore. the Denison; William Miller, the
Grand; James H. Wills, Union Station;
William H. Corbin, Spencer House; S. G
Givens, the Occidental; James G. Mathews,
43 Monument Place
Resolutions were drawn up and adopted
embodying the sentiment that the S. eX-
animation fee would be eXorbitant, and in
flict hardship many struggling BARRIERS
of the State; that whatever steps are neces-
sary, looking to the sanitation of barber
shops should be attended to by the State
Board of Health; that 1.-The measure is
visionary, vague and impracticable and
would entail a waste of money and time to
the State and would in no sense, accom-

IN MEMORY OF BURNS.
Rev. +. L. DeVvhurst Talks of the
Poet and His Life's Work.

Robert Burns and his poems as they We're
treated by Prof. f. E. Dewhurst, were the
subject of an interesting sacred meeting last
evening at Plymouth Church. With the aid
Of stereopticon views Mr.. Dewhurst illus
trated scenes from Burns's writings, not
ably from THE Cotter's Saturday Night,
and told the story of Burns's peculiarly sad
yet inspiring life in Ayr and elsewhere. The
last hymn, in which the congregation
Joined, was the Scotch ballad "Auld Lang
Syne."
In part Rev. Dewhurst said: 1.-THE writer
Of an essay on Robert Burns tells the story
that once a company of German critics were
estimating the rank of contemporary poets,
when the name of Goethe was introduced.
Jean Paul Richter hushed the audience by
saying, We are not to sit in judgment on
that sacred name. Scotland is apt TO attach
the same Interpretations reverence to the
name of Burns.
"lTo this Judgment we may all respond
whether we are Scotchmen or not. Burns S

the pitiful weakness and humiliating blem-
ishes of his life. II. he had spoken only from
the intellect he would have died, but he
spoke from the heart and he lives. 1t is as
Carlyle says True and genial as his poetry
must appear, IL is not chiefly as a poet but
as a man that he interests and affects US.
S')eaking Of the tragedy of Burns's life, Mr.
Dewhurst said: I'VE question whether the

Ecene-whether Napoleon himself, left to
brawl with Sir Hudson Lowe and perish
on his rock amid the melancholy main,
presented to the rejecting mind such a spec

wasting itself away in a hopeless struggle
with the base entanglements which coiled
closer and closer around him until only
death opened an outlet. To the ill-starred
Burns was given the power of making mans
life more venerable, but that of wisely guild
ing his own life was not given.

William Arnold, No. 143 North Delaware
street created disturbance at the home OF
Lizzie Hollinworth, Sixteenth and Martin

1t was with the same cry and Furnishing
the same weapon that he had few minutes
before entered the room of the Hollinworth
woman, according to her claims. Without
giving him a chance to put his threat into
execution she jumped from a second-story
window. which was raised at the time. She
suffered no broken bones, and, beyond the
bruises and shock, was uninJured. Arnold
then ran down stairs and out of the house
after her. but she had taken flight and had
a square the lead of him in the pursuit that
he maintained for a few blocks She ran
into the home of a friend and locked her
self in before he reached her, and neighbors
meanwhile had summoned the officers. The
charges against him are for drawing a dead

NEW USE FOR CORNSTALKS.

Valuable Prepared Food For Horses and
Cattle Developed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-A series Of
experiments which have been carried
on. for some time past by the agricul.
tural department have recently devel-
oped new use for cornstalks, from
which a very valuable horse and cattle
food can now be made. The depart
ment has done great deal of work
with cornstalks in the past year and
has developed several valuable uses fol-
them, namely, cofferdam packing fo1
warships, high grade of writing
paper, tho basis for slnokeless powder
superior to the picric acid powders, and
several other uses.
The new cattle food is made by grind
ing the dry cornstalks, leaves and tops
to powder and mixing it with blood
or molasses or both. This is pressed
into cakes under a hydraulic press, and
can be shipped as, easily as bricks Of
cordwood. For feeding, it is broken ur
and mixed with water.
Actual tests have been made at ex
pertinent stations and samples have
been sent to agricultural stations in Eu
rope. The reports from all sources are
very encouraging.

Electric Spark Caused a Three Million
Dollar Confiaeration.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 30.-An electric
spark in the basement of Partridge &

6-story brick building, containing rare
and valuable plates and machinery, was
completely Quilted, involving loss es-
timated by member of the firm at

The next heaviest loser was Partridge
& Richardson, extending south on
Eighth streeth, from Filbert, distance
of about 125 feet, and with depth CT
100 feet. Their loss on building and
contents is estimated at $500, 1000.
Lit Bros, whose department. store ad-
joins the Lippincott building, estimate
their loss at $400,O0O.

Roof Laagte, near Gras Pan. The Lam
cashires, under Lewis, reconnoitred in
an armored train on Friday The Beers
shelled the train, killing Lewis and a
private. General Methuen then ad-
vanced. His column made a detour
and bivouacked for the night at Simons
Plains, three miles from the Boer posi-
ton. At daybreak the advance began,
the Guards forming the reserve. The
Boer guns at once opened fire. Two
batteries Of British artillery posted on
each side shelled the Beers, practice
being good on both Sides
Infantry Assault Necessary.
The Beers stuck tenaciously to their
positions, firing steadily and accurately.
The duel. which constantly became
hotter, lasted three hours. The Boer
shells wounded several mon of the
naval brigade.
Finding it impossible to displace the
Beers by artillery, General Methuen
resolved upon an infantry attack. A
brigade Of infantry, including the
Yorkshires, the Northamptons, the
Northumberland and the Lancashires,
with the naval brigade on the right,
gallantly stormed the Boer positions in
the face of a whitening fire and carried
