OPENING DAY, AN INCREASE OF 15O IS THE SHOWING MADE BY THE
 CITY SCHOOLS.
SUPT HINEMON's ADDRESS
The School is a Mirror in Which We May See the Teachers
 Image" He Says.

Monday morning the teachers as. sembIed at tbe High School to hear theSuperin tendent'sannua address. He spoke exactly two hours and the teachers listened closely throughout the whole period. It is impossibe 10 do more than name some of the features emphasized by Ar, Hiae- mon.
 aOf all the varied duti9s of a su. perintendent of schools, said MT. Hinemon, "the most important is the inproyement and developing of the tehing force, for upon the ae- tiyity End efficiency of the teachers depends the success O. the. schools. True education consists in the full and symmetricai development of all the powers of 8 human being. At tention must be given to physical and moral training as well as men tai culture. The Superintendent dwelt upon the various relations of of teacher, principal, superintend- ent and parent. First of all cer- tain physical conditions must be met in every school room if the best results are to be had. Good air, plenty Of light and variety of exer- cises are all matters of great impor- tance in the management of any school A good school is well disei- plined; no successful work can be done amid confusion and chaos.
 Children must be developed from within. The sentiment of the school should regulate the conduct of the pupils. No school is well trained until the pupils are well be- haved, not from fear of punishment but because of desire to do what is right and proper. Order is Heavens first law aad no business can be successful in the best sense without close observance of this principle. Much depends upon the ideals set before the children. Many wrongdoings may he suggested by a teacher.
 Telling IS not teaching. It is not what we do but what we get the childen to do that tests the teach er's power. There is no truer say ing than this as is the teacher so is the school. TheG school is mir. Tor in which we may see the teach er's image perfectly outlined.
 Nc teacher should appear before her class without definite plans in view. Nothing can be more harn- ful than aimless, haphazard work. At the close of each days work the teacher should take an inventory and ascertain wherein she has sue. ceeded or failed. Children should learn many things not taught from books. It is more important that they should acquire habits Of indus try, close atten tion, accuracy, neat ness and system than to learn it. tie geography or history. Charac- ter building and the formation of right habits are the chief things to be sought; if these ends are gained the other things so much desired will follow-as the night the day"
 Encourage the dull ones. The bright pupils need little assistance. Let us not forget that
 "Dullness is oftlmes lowlying clond
 surcbarged with slumbering gcnius'
 The speaker cited the lives of Newton and Scott as notable cases.
 Commend freely. The world gives too much attention to the things that are urdone and too little to the

ARIZONA ALL RIGHT
Observations of Returning CALI
fOrnia Visitor.

A. J. Spencer and wife, who have been
spending the summer in California,
have returned home fully satisfied that
Arizona is the only place in which to
live and live in comfort and happiness
For twenty years they were residents
of southern California, but about six
years ago they decided to come to Ar
iona and cast their fortunes with the
coming state. The summer was spent
in visiting the friends of other days
and incidentally in making mental
calculations as to how much better off
the people of Arizona are than the in
habitants Of the golden state. Mr.
Spencer says: Give me Arizona in
preference to California. Water there
is so scarce that many have been conf
PEELED to cut all the tops from their
orange trees in order to save the
trunks of the trees. Even if they sue
ceeded in doing that it will be four or
five years before the trees get to bear
ing again. A run of twenty inches of
irrigating water now costs from 500 10
5000 for twenty-four hours. The great
Bear valley reservoir that has sup
piled beautiful Redlands for many
years, this year has not a drop of water
in it. Many have expended small for
tunes in digging wells, yet have OBJ
tanned no relief from the drouth. The
country seems to be literally dried up
He says hundreds are inquiring about
Arizona with a view of changing their
residence 10 d more healthful climate,
better soil ard Il better water supply. |
and Mr.. Spencer tells them to come
to Arizona, it is good enough for me. |
I have tried both places and don't /
think I shall go back there again to
live
He brought home with him list of
over 100 acquaintance who desire to /
be enlightened regarding Arizona eli /!
mate, and he viii act as an unsalaried /
immigration agent. He is enthusiastic |
and thinks the future is bright.
Mr.. Spencer is now going to open up |
his valuable red sandstone quarry near /
ella Bend and place this building ma
terial on the market.

West Point, n Y. Oct. 17.-Alice
Kniffin. the 16-year-oId daughter Of
Sergeant John Kniffin of the army ser
vice detachment, has disappeared and
her parents are nearly distracted. They
have notified the New York police and
every effort is being made TO find the
! girl. TWO years ago Frank W. Derleth

hair and rosy cheeks. He was accepted
and placed on duty as a fifer in the field

listment he met Alice Kniffn at

case of love at first sight. The parents
of the girl objected to the attentions of
Derleth, but the young couple man
aged to meet often. This has been go
ing on for two years.
On Friday last young Derleth disap-
peared and it is said with the intention
of deserving. On Saturday Mrs. Knit
fin gave Alice a $40 note to go and pay
some bills. When she did not return
late that evening search was made
for her by her father in every place in
which it was thought she might stop,
but without avail. a search Of her
trunk disclosed a letter written by
Derleth saying he was going to skip
and for her to follow him as soon as
possible. 1t is thought that she took 4
West Shore train for Philadelphia to
join young Derleth. Miss Kniftin IS
very pretty and highly educated. If
Derleth does not report within ten days
he viii be classed as a deserter and
the government will offer the usual re-
ward for his apprehension. The Phila !
deIphia police have been notified.

MORE OF THE BODY FOUND.
Bundle Containing Human Entrails
Taken From East River.

/ BuHQle containing human EnIfdlIS
Taken From East River.
New York. Oct. 1.-THE police de-
partment reported today that a bundle
supposed to contain human entrails
had been found in the East river at the
foot of Dover street. The bundle was
wrapped in cheese cloth and was sent
to the morgue by order of the coroner.
The find was wrapped in white
canvas bag two and half feet long
and sixteen inches wide. The flesh was
covered with blood, and with it We're
four small and one large piece of medi-
Gated gauze soaked with blood. A lot
of what is supposed to be surgical cot
ton was also found in a corner of the
bag.
On the inside of the bag toward one
corner We're found the letters NJ. A. T.
The letters We're an inch and quarter
in height. There was nothing else
about the bag that would lead to iden-
tification.
There seems little doubt that this
new fragment is part of the body of
the woman whose left thigh was
found in West Seventeenth street last
Saturday, but unless the head or some
portion Of the body bearing a scar or
birthmark should be found, the po-
lice despair of unraveling the mystery.
One line on which the detectives We're
working has come to nothing, as the
parents of Mrs Gertrude Billings,
whose husband reported her missing,
say they know where she is and that /
she is in good health.

of Police Seay and instantly killed his fine
blooded horse. AT the same time it struck
his colored stable boy, and for some time
it was thought he would die, as he was
completely paralyzed from his chest down,
but to-day is about as well as usual The
horse was one of the best in the state,
and the loss is a heavy one on Mr.. Seay.
The same flash of lightning frightened
the horses to Hatcher's transfer,
causing them to run away, throwing Mr.
w. T.. Hickey and Mrs Adkins from the
vehicle Mr.. Hickey was not injured, bun
Mrs. Adkins arm and ankle were both
severely sprained. At this time she is

WILL WOODWARD NOW RESIGN
ATLANTA POLITICIANS ARE sPECU-
LATING UPON IT.

Report Has 1t That He Has Not Kept
His Pledge, and Has Departed
From the Straight and Narrow
Path-The story of Cake Walk.
DIR. BrOughton Now in New York,
But He May Return TO Resume the
Fight.
Atlanta, Aug. among the city poiiu-
clans there has been a good deal of specu-
lation to-day as to the probability of
Mayor Woodward Offering his resignation
in the near future
The talk grows out of the charges made
by Dr. Broughton against the Mayor six
weeks ago, and the Mayors subsequent
pledge to reform or resign. The Mayor, it
appears, from the stories going the rounds
to-day, has not succeeded in living up TO
his promises, and hence his resignation is
being speculated upon.
According to the story that reopened the
affair to-day, Mayor Woodward attracted
a good deal of attention last night by his
appearance at a cake walk al a suburban
resort. armed with bottle Of champagne
in one coat pocket, and a bottle of some
thing else in the other.
From the statements of those who
brought the story to town. the Mayor was
out for a good time, and when he told
some of his friends goodnight, at down
town restaurant. al o'clock this morn
ing. il was with the assurance that he had
had it.
The Mayor. however was at his office
as usual to-day. and so rar as is known
the talk did not disturb him. One of his
close friends is quoted as saying that he
has no intention of resigning.
DR.. Broughton, VINO poses as the aVeng-
ing Nemesis of the Mayor, is now in New
York and is not due 10 return for a couple
of weeks or more, unless called back to
resume his fight upon the Mayor, which
is not altogether improbable.
Mayor Woodwards friends are making
all possible efforts TO keep down agitation
of the matter and prevent another scene
in Council but 1t would not be a surprise
TO those who have been keeping up with
the procession" to see the Mayors resig-
nation handed in at any moment, as some
of his staunChest supporters have been
standing up TO him only upon his pledge
to walk the straight and narrow path in
future.
