BATHROOMS IN sCHOoLHoUsEs
Town in Indiana Starts a Plan
for Keeping Its Children
Clean.

At the annual convention of the
Northern Indiana Teachers associa-
ton, held some weeks ago, there were
present several of the leading edu-
Gators of the central west. At this
meeting it was declared that ''inas-
much as frequent bathing is necessary
for the maintenance of good health,
and as unhealthy people cannot do
good work in the schoolroom, it would
be well for public school buildings to
be fitted with bathing facilities, so
that pupils with no opportunity for
bathing at home can have this priv
ilege at school," In harmony with this
idea the city board of education of
Mishawaka has decided to equip with
bathing facilities the costly new
Laure school building. While it is a
new departure, it is believed to be
step in the right direction, and plans
will be formulated for building bath
room additions to the other city school
structures. Favorable press comment
and Endorsements from other cities in
dictate that this innovation is to be fol-
lowed on a small scale by school
boards in surrounding cities in an ef-
fort to Test it's reputed good results.

PLAYFUL SLAP BREAKS NECK.
Brooklyn Man Who Did Not Laugh
at Joke Dies from Singular
Injury.

Edward Watson, % years old, who
lived with his widowed mother in
Brooklyn, was the other day slapped
heartily on the back by Thomas Leary,
private in the Fifth Army corps. He
died the same night of broken neck.
Watson, Leary and others composed a
merry party. One Of Leary's stories
failed to elicit from Watson the laugh
ter that came from others in the party,
and Leary playfully slapped Watson
on the back, with the admonition to
wake up. -
"Wake up again cried Leary, and he
slapped Watson heavily on the back,
between the shoulders. ''Why, you
don't know you're alive" he added,
selling Watson by the shoulders and
suddenly twisting him around. .
Watson turned pale, groaned and sank
to the floor. ''My neck is hurt he
said.
Examination showed that the fourth
cervical vertebrae bone had been forced
out of place, probably splintered. Pres
sure on the spinal cord produced the
gradually increasing paralysis.
Watson was placed into a cast, but
gradually sank until II o'clock, when
he died.
The doctors suggest that it may have
been that Watson suffered from calcifi-
cation of the bones, which is chemical
change by which the bones become
chalky and brittle.

Slot Machine Stamps Letters.

English postal authorities are MAX
ing experiments in an automatic let
ter mailing device which will do
away with the old style of "stick-
with-a-lick" postage stamp. The new
apparatus resembles a slot machine
ard is an adaptation Of this idea. It
can be placed on the street corners or
in the post Offices. By putting a pen
by in the slot the letter is thrust into
slot and. a dry or ribband stamp
puts a stamp on the corner Of the
letter, when it car, be dropped into
the box. The machine cancels the
stamp, with the date, time of day, etc,
all at one operation. =. ..

ROLLED IN WEALTH.
Late Duke of Westminster Pos.
sessed Fabulous Riches.
Was the Owner of 800 Acres in Lon
don, Chiefly in the Aristocratfc
Guarter-Had Annual Income
of 100000 Pounds.

While some persons knew the late
Duke of Westminster was one of the
richest men in England, no London
newspaper has taken the trouble to
procure an estimate of his wealth. He
owned several thousand parcels of
London realty, which together, accord
ing to the dukes own statement, made
600 acres. Much of this is in Belgravia,
the aristocratic residence quarter. He
also had 10000 acres in the country and
an annual income of e750,0OO. His
realty values in London were probably
worth G 100000.
The heir to the dukedom is the late
dukes grandson, Viscount Belgrave,
now in South Africa, aidrde-camp of
Sir Alfred Miner, the governor of Cape
Colony.
The papers abound in anecdotes of
the late duke. He was rather careless
and shabby in his dress, and his life at
Elton Hall was that of an ordinary coun-
try gentleman. At any time during his
stay in Cheshire the duke might be seen
riding or walking about his park, usual
ly smoking cigarette not often COM
posed Of tobacco, for he used indicated
cigarettes as a remedy for asthma.
TO his household the duke was al
ways an enigma. He rarely spoke to
the servants and had an odd way of
leaving bits of paper about on chairs
with a word of blame as to their con-
dition, but with such personages as his
house steward, head coachman and
stud groom he was on most affable and
confidential terms

MOUNTED INFANTRY
FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Gen. Macarthur VIII he Given 40,-
900 Men to Properly Police the
Numerous islands

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON, July H-Plans now
under consideration by the secretary OF
war contemplate keeping a military force
of 10000 soldiers in the Philippines for
some time after the withdrawal OF the
volunteer troops that will have to be
mustered out Of service July /. 1901. 1t
Is estimated that 1t will require this num-
Der of men to properly police the Philip
pines. as there is no intention OF relin-
gushing control OF any part OF the Is
lands. Gen. Macarthur has frequently
recommended the holding OF all island
garrisons and the persistent policing of
territory occupied.
Plans for keeping a force of 10000 men
in the Philippines, after the return Of
the volunteers, also contemplate the
mounting of a number Of infantry regi-
ments. Gen. Macarthur has asked for
more cavalry. but this the war depart
ment is unable to give him, and arrange
ments have been made to provide him
with sufficient horses to mount at least
two infantry regiments. Orders have al
ready been issued for the shipment of
1880 cavalry horses to Manila to be dis
tributed to cavalry regiments and to be
used in mounting infantry.
