SHORT SKIRTS BARRED.
Lynn SchOOlmnrms Say They Will
Wear Them Against Orders.


Lynn, Mass. May 25.-Short skirts and
bicycle suits may no longer be worn by
the teachers of the public schools of this
city.
This request from the school board came
like thunderbolt to the teachers 70 whom
1t was directed. Many of them say they
will continue to wear bicycle suits. refus-
ing to be dictated to as to their dress in or
out of school. They say the bicycle skirt
is neither immodest nor improper. it being
the. sweeping train.
About sixty of the teachers ride wheels
to and from school, and from nearly all
comes the protest.
Those who were instrumental in having
this order issued say that the bicycle skirt
is degrading and not a proper example for
the pupils. They do not find SO much fault
with the golf suits of the male teachers,
but think it would be more proper for them
to wear long trousers.
Superintendent Bruce. who was .ore-
most in the agitation. said that several
teachers had appeared in the school looms
with skirts reaching barely below the
knee, and that their conduct with pupils
had been far from modest. He also con-
sidered that many OF the pupils. especially
modest and immoral. but there was no way
of preventing this. and they could do moth
ing but request the parents to discontinue
the short skirts OF their children

WAR ON THE HEALERS.
Federal Attorney Close Confident of
COnyictfnE the kiuters

Buffalo. May 25.-UniteI States District
Attorney Emery P. Close says that the
prosecution for mansIaug;lter of the Kin
tiers. Christian Healers. AMI OF the parent;
of the dead Sauldsrs boy. whom the Kin
ters treated, will be pushed with tine ut
most vigor.
If the spreal of the faith cure fanati-
cism can b. clicked he said last nish-
lit will be done. The exten. OF it is grow
ing perilous.
The life = this seven-year old boy,
Ralph Saunders. was clearly forfeited 10
the delusions which his parents entertained
and which had been fostered by the pro-
fessional curists, the Kinters.
The circumstances OF the death on Fed
eral grounds cast the enquiry into my
hands, and | mean to establish that the
healers and the parents were guilty OF
manslaughter. inasmuch as their neglect
amounted TO misdemeanor, which. in con
nection with the death of the child, will
constitute manslaughter."
Mr.. Close had a long line of medical
witnesses at the hearing yesterday. and
proved to the satisfaction of Commissioner
Robinson that the childs death was due to
pneumonia. and that the symptoms were
well developed for some days previous to
death.
Shi- anu hIs. lue s.

timony was being given. and were ar
rested on the charge of manslaughter.
They gave s.. 500 bail each Mrs Saunders
tainted shortly after her arrest and was
excused from further attendance at the
enquiry.
1t was disclosed by the testimony that
Christian Science had quite hold on the
members of the Thirteenth Regiment.
which served so valorously in the Cuban
campaign. Major William Auman, who led
the Thirteenth Regiment throughout the
war. was witness. He said that Captain
Sample and Mrs. Sample had done much to
encourage the theory among the soldiers.
Mrs. Sample is a sister of Mr.. Saunders
father of the dead boy.
Mrs. Sample boasted on the stand that
she did not believe in medicine. Il lost
two children through medicine" she said
while Christian Science saved two chill
dren who had been given up by the doctors.
My husband was saved by Christian Sci
ence.''
She said that no matter how sick her
children might be she would not allow the
best physician to attend them.
Ex-Judge Frank Brundage, who appear
ed as counsel for the healers. said the pro-
ceedings would not amount I'd anything.
Nothing has been disclosed or sub
stantiated here to show criminal act"
he declared. There is nothing In the law
to reach such a case"
You will find these proceedings of more
consequence than you imagine" retorted
the district attorney. I'VE will fight it to
the end and check this sort of life-taking
If there is a way to do it.
Mr.. Close admits that there is no Fed
eral statute touching the case directly. Tut
says he will convict under the general law.

Minneapolis, Mimi. May 25.-The first

burn and Loren Fletcher for services in
Congress and Captain John C. Reno in
recognition of forty-three years service
given to the Mississippi River. All but
three of the Minnesota delegation in Con-

the first speaker and took up the Ques-
tions growing out Of the late war; He said:
THE war with Spain was reasonable.
just, and necessary war. from which the
United States abstained as long as honor
would permit. By it grave responsibilities
have been placed upon this country which
must be assumed in the name of good gov
ernment, civilization. and Christianity.
From it is likely to develop Caucasian
control of the commerce of the east. 1t is
an epoch in history the most important
since the discovery of America by CO.
lumbus. The possession of the Philippines
gives the United States an opportunity to
contest for this eastern commerce.
IF the United States does not hold the
islands some other nation will, and what
other than We can do it better? Our en-
lightenment, constitutional liberty, and hu-
mane institutions will prove boon and
political shield to the Filipinos. Recent
developments show. however, that the Fill

that the National Constitution stands in
the way. but l learn from history that
the Constitution has always adapted itself
to whatever schemes of expansion or i'm
perialsm a wise policy demanded.
Regarding our duty to Cuba, believe
the terms of the resolutions adopted by
Congress should be adhered to till the
last vestige of hope for self-government
has departed. but the United States should
remain in control until a stable govern
ment is assumed, be il ten or twenty
years. | am of the opinion. however. that

TO NAVIGATE THE AIR.
Prof Hite nt W0rk ON a Remark K able
AirahiD.

Burlington. n. j.. May 25.-AE airship
the invention of Prof Charles Hite. who
was with the Peary Arctic expedition, is
being built at the villa of Prof William
D. T. Travis. near this city. The work is
being done under the supervisor Of Prof.
Charles King. the aeronaut, who has made
nearly 400 ascensions.
The airship is protected by patents. and
a company, of which Prof Hite is the head,
has been organized for its manufacture.
The airship is navigable balloon. The
balloon will be cigar-shaped with car at
tacbment and will be driven by two power
full engines of diminutive size.
In the Eite invention the powerful fans
will drive the balloon either up or down
or to the right or left in any current of
air and make the length of the trip option
al with the voyagers.
The engines which will operate the fans
are marvels in themselves. They are
twenty inches long, sixteen inches wide
and six inches high and comparatively
light The motive power is carbon -diox-
ide. which is made of chimney SCOT. One
engine alone is sufficiently powerful to op-
crate the machinery of rolling mill
The engines are at Trenton, where it is
likely the test will be made early in June
A small model of the airship was given
successful test in Philadelphia.
