Pupil Who Was Punished With Red

into whose mouth his teacher forced red
pepper to punish him. is near death this
morning. His physicians did not expect
him to survive through the night. Dr. F.
n. Loomis stated that the boy would surely
die of the fever which. again developed
yesterday. Miss Mary Comery. the teach
er, is ill today of worry over the chiid's
condition. The boy was whispering in
school. when Miss Comery called him up
and forced the pepper into his mouth. He
struggled. and 1t is supposed some of the
pepper got into his bronchial tubes. for he
became very i'll at once and has suffered
agony ever since.
1t is said If the boy dies Miss Colnery
will be arrested. Her friends say that he
was complaining OF illness before the pep
per was administered. Another pupil to
whom the teacher gave red pepper recov-
cred after a brief illness. and has been sent
to a private school by his parents.

Mayor quincy. Example.

Hon Josiah Quincy, Mayor of Boston, is
Democrat who succeeded a Republican.
He has maintained the civil service law,
made few removals. and appointed men Of
decided capacity for the performance Of
their respective duties. Says the Chicago
Tribune"
He has secured the establishment of a depart
ment Of municipal statistics, the formation of the
Boston Society OF Municipal Officers and the Gre
alton of eight unpaid commissions, which bring
to the service of the public great deal Of special
knowledge and enthusiastic DEVOTION" the organ
ization of merchants municipal committee, the
appointment Of a special committee on the laws
against drunkenness, and the constitution of a
board of apportionment to control the finances Of
the city. His extension of government functions
has consisted chiefly in the substitution of direct
labor for the contract system and in providing
new facilities for health. recreation, and instruc
tion. lie has established municipal printing Of
flee. a bureau Of electrical construction, and
general repair division. The public bathing facil-
itics have been greatly increased under him,
second indoor gymnasium has been built with
city funds. large outlays are on foot for small
parks and Fairgrounds. the schoolyards
opened in summer under matrons for play, and
boys summer camp inaugurated one of the
citys islands hast summer. A series Of orchestral
concerts in Music Hall were likewise sncce ssfuly
given last winter by the mayors music commits
sion, and the Public Art Commission is likely
to enter upon positive lines Of suggestion
and direction for public buildings and exhibitions
This is assuredly creditable record,
and il only as indicating the possibilities
of municipal administration should COM
mend itself to the authorities of other CIT
les. 1t is cheerful to think of a mayor
who is investigating the causes rather than
the effects Of intoxication, and who is en-
gagged in providing new facilities for
health, recreation, and happiness"

The Late.t French Duel.

Catulle Mendes and Georges vanar are
dramatic critics in Paris, and became in.
volved in an argument as to whether
Hamlet was corpulent person, or a thin
one as pictured by Sarah Bernhard. Be-
ginning in jest. the controversy reached a
point at which Mendes slapped vanar's
face. Then there was challenge to a
duel.
The meeting differed from the ordinary
French duels in the sense that 1t had
somewhat serious termination. Mendes
was badly wounded. A curious phase of
the story is that during the progress Of the
combat his wife. who had secretly follow
ed the belligerents. witnessed the aifair
from place Of concealment behind some
bushes.

(From the Cincinnati Enquiries \

Mr.. PETER has never been far away from the
Republican party, and has probably. never laid
awake Of nights about expressions by the money
dled'' by the Republicans, on nearly il not all
questions but money. He was favored with much
patronage and coddled with attentions. The
Republican managers graciously recognized the
fact that he could not go with them on money
on account Of the issue upon which he was
elected: but they did not expect everything. Mr..
PETER is out of Office now, and Of no use to the
party directors He has not promoted his return

the imputation OF being thumb-screwed
The defects in the Ford bill may not be
as serious as its critics allege, and on the
merits OF the proposition there was really
no urgent necessity for the calling OF an
extra session. Naturally amendments
which would make 1t more acceptable to
the corporations and to the statesmen
who are in the service OF the corporations
would lend prestige to the Governor along
lines most influential in the promotion of
whatever political ambitions he may en-
tertain.
People are beginning to ask whether Mr..
Roosevelt be entirely sincere. Is he. as
Governor, displaying moral courage to the
extent that he displayed physical courage
when he made his famous charge up San
Juan Heights. He made his campaign on
his record as a soldier, and in response to
the patriotic impulse Of the State. oppor-
tunely stirred. was elected over one OF the
ablest judges OF tn. New York Supreme
bench But he has not fully kept his prom
ises as yet. He has not brought the canal
thieves to book nor have his civil SER
vice reform ideas borne the rich fruit that
his friends expected.
1t is his ambition, as he says, to go down
to history as 'one Of the model Governors
of New York II is to be hoped that he
will succeed in that commendable purpose.
But at the same time the fact remains that
model Governors of New York" have not
customarily been in the habit OF seeking
the seclusion of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
at the end OF each legislative week for
the purpose of ascertaining the drift Of
party sentiment. or receiving suggestions
or orders from the political ''magnates."
