apparent indifference of the negro girl
to the child's death. Mr.. Lafferty and
his wife suspected nothing wrong in
the servants conduct.
A few days previous to the burning
of the child bag of rags was dis
covered on fire in the garrett Of the
house ana in the room occupied by the

the affair until last Thursday, when a
third fire occurred at Mr.. Lafferty's

suspected something wrong, but said
nothing to the girl more than to ask her
il she had had any matches in the
room.

a hoy, aged II years, named Levi Pyle,
who was taken from home. To this
boy the negro girl had made many
threats and admissions, at the same
time warning him that if he disclosed
anything she would kill him. Pyle
was afraid to. say anything. Friday
morning last the girl left Mr.. Lafferty's
i with tho pretension that she was sick,
and went to her home, short distance
from the Lafferty farm. Then young
Pyle told his story, and Mr.. latferty
and family are convinced that the negro
girl was the immediate cause of theii
child's death as she was heard &c
remark few days after the funera
that "the child being dead she would
not have to attend to it any more. ="

As reform in school methods the
school authorities of pittsburg, Pa. /,
have ordered the abandonment of ex-
aminations in memorizing studies as n
condition of passing from the grammar
school to the high school. The examina-
tions will hereafter be confined to
mathematics and language, including
photography. In all other branches
pupils will be admitted to the high
school upon certificates of the princi-
pals and assistant principals Of the
sub-district schools that they are pro-
pared to pursue the high-school course.
The reason given for the change is that
the requirement OF tests in such
studies as history and geography was a
detriment to best work in the grammar
grades, inasmuch as the teachers, in
their anxiety to pass as many pupils
as possible, laid too much stress ON the
memorizing OF these books, to dis.
regard of an intelligent grasp of the
whole, and Of the relation Of places OF
events one to the other. The change
is decided relief to nervous children,
who, however bright and industrious
they may be, often lose self-confidence,
and even memory, under the strain and
fear of an examination, and make Q
poorer showing than the dull ones Of
| the class.

In Hon. John Bnrrett's address at =

YOU report him rs saying: In regard

Did he mean by this to suggest tnat
morality Is not to be reconciled with
commerce? But let that pass; it may
have beon slipyof his. or ono oil the

''There is no greater opportunity Tor

to be found in the Philippines" and
vet you quote him as saying Just be.
fore: "If the Philippines are
an inviting field, China y ' is

How do these contradictory PROPOSE
tions strike you from the logical stand
point? Mr.. Barrett appears, unless you
have done him wrong, 10 have banished
from his address logic together with
morality.
TO get, however, on to tho CONNER
