OF EDUCATION.
Rev. Mr.. COnlbsar Wants More
Time Devoted 10 Spiritual
Training Of Children.

A large congregation at the Broad
Street Christian church last evening
heard the pastor. Rev. G. A. Conibear,
speak on the topic, providence Educa-
tional Life" The subject was handled
in an interesting manner and MT. COM
bear spoke substantially as follows:
providence is particularly favored by
being the seat of the State Normal school
and believe the students OF that school
are the brightest and best of the youth
OF the state. We are fortunate, too, In
having Brown University in this city,
with its splendid faculty OF educated
strong men.
1T gives an intellectual cast to the city.
In addition, we have the business coli
leges, parochial schools and private
schools and we cannot but be gratiied
at the splendid showing of the city In an
educational way.
This educational system is a source
OF encouragement to the church, a source
OF helpfulness I'm the work the church Is
doing.
THE system OF education of today Is
eliminating crime. for the criminal class
is largely the ignorant class. This truth
is borne out by the statistics Of the
prisons OF the country. I think II Is
a fact that about 80 per cent. of our coll
lege graduates are Christian men, and
large proportion OF the college profess
sors are ranged on Christ's side.
But we must remember that purely
educational training does not bring re-
lgion. The law forbids the introduction
into our public schools OF any religious
matter 80 II must be wholly intellectual
training, which alone does not develop
Christian character.
II want TO say that the most import
ant portion OF the educational system is
the humble Sunday school which Is IN
session but one hour each week We
need TO get a new view OF what mnn
is. We ought 10 cut down onc-half Of
the time OF the day from the training
OF mind and BODY I'm order 10 spend the
other half In the spiritual education @.

Mr.. HANNA TALKS
He Tells Of The Important
Measures That Are TO Come
Before Congress.

Cleveland o.. Nov. Ex-senator Hanna
has returned here after brief visit TO
New York. He expects TO remain in this
city until congress convenes. In discuss
ing the coming session of that body, Mr..
Hanna said
Congress this year will have some
very important duties to perform. Three
great bills--the Nicaragua canal bill. the
army bill and the ship subsidy bill-are
TO come before it.
The Nicaragua commission will make
it's report early i'm the session and the
debate In the senate will probably begin
early. | presume there will be changes
OF some Importance In the bill. IL is
reasonable To suppose that a lapse Of
several months has made a difference in
the sentiment of the people on the bill
and a change i'm some of its main features
will be the natural result
The Costa Rican treaty, especially, in
yolved us in considerable difficulty and
the Costa Rican government had TO be
consulted with"
When asked with what measures be
would most interest himself during the
session, Senator Hanna said:
II have no present measures this year
and shall take no particular interest i'm
any of the bills before congress. Per-
haps | am az much interested I'm Senator
Fryes ship subsidy bill as In any"

LIVELY BUYING.
Another Day Of Excitement on
the London Stock
Exchange.

New York, Nov. 12.7The exciting scenes
of last week on the floor of the stock ex-
change were renewed at the opening to-
day. In part this was due to the situa-
tion as foreshadowed by the bank state
ment OF last Saturday, and by the advices
from London, which showed an advance
I'm prices there this morning
The conditions last week have created
a demand from all quarters, and as is
usually the case after a bull campaign,
professionals have been prompted to un-
load. Buying exceeds expec tation, and
the alertness of professional to unload
exceeds the demand for buying.
There was less opportunity this morn
ing for the floor TO play TO the gallery
than was the case last week. The scenes
of last week were so unusually strenuous
that both operators and crowd became
weary OF the excitement at the close OF
the week.
However the scene tthe opening was
far enough out OF the ordinary TO cause
observers I'm the galleries to understand
that the market was animated. In the
first 10 minutes OF trading ls7, 900 shares OF
stock changed hands. Railroad stocks
were thrown into the back ground by SEN

Prices have fallen somewhat
lately and one would suppose the
decline would cause the Democrats
some satisfaction, which it does
not. They kick against the decline
with the same vigor with which
they kicked against rising prices.
We have about reached the conclu-
sion that our Democratic friends
would like to see prices adjusted on
sliding scale, SO arranged that
market will reach the top notch
for the benefit of the producer and
then Immediately drop to the low
est notch for the benefit of the
consumer. Unfortunately, how
ever, there is no natural law by
which this happy medium can be
found.
