The mix-up in school matters in Grey
township, judging from all reports is
spreading iu notorlety, and although it
has not reached the celebrity of the
famous Iowa calf case, as yet, still there
is q calf deal in the affaiv also. The
teacher, who by the way is citizen of
Mack, finding it difficult to be one Of the
crowd, concluded to quit and according
ly came away. The board however, being
composed of gentlemen who knew the
h ,e. between an school keeping and
good work that had been done in the
school room appointed themselves a
committee of three to bring the fugitive
teacher back to her honorable position
as teacher of the Daniels school. Our
neighbors in Grey may not always be
able to get the services of such capable
and industrious teacher and the conduct
of few on this occasion brings with it
an unjust reflection Oh the community as
a whole.

OLDEST BANK IN THE WEST.
A Michigan Financial Institution
Closes Its Doors.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 10.-The private
bank OF Albert Ives & Sons, the Oldest
bank in the West, closed its doors today
and posted a notice that bankruptcy
proceedings had beer commenced. The
bank was started in 1887 by stephen Ives,
and in 1S47 Albert Ives, the present sen :
ior member, became the dominant factor.
Up to ten years ago the bank vas most
successful, standing every panic up to
the present without asking any assist
ance from its neighbors.
Ten years ago the senior Ives retired
from active management, and since zen
under the sons management the bank
has gone down. Two years ago the clear
ing house refused TO longer handle its
checks because it refused to make state
mcnts, and for the last six months it has
led a day to day existence. There Is sup
posed to be about $4,000 in deposits in
the bank, which will not pay dollar for
dollar.
The bank was conducted on old school
principles. which the elder Ives would
not allow to be changed.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1O.-Fifteen
thousand five hundred men and women

California to the Union. The parade took
thre hours and ten minutes to pass a

panies of native sons and daughters filed
between lines of people that crowded tbs
sidewalks and filed all windows.
The features of the procession wero
young gentlemen and women in fancy cos

cession ever seen in San Francisco All
the Regular Army troops now here were IN

lowed by miners with pack mules.

reports of Minister Conger and the pub

Rockhill have warned Mr.. Mckinley and
his advisers that. should he consent to
join in a general scheme of negotiation
the first step in connection with the same
would be recognition by all the powers

tween China and the invading nations. 1t
Is this which has led to the rapproche-
ment with Russia 1t is this which makes
the President anxious to enter into per-
functory negotiations with Ii Hung

concerned. and which he only hopes will
save his face and enable him to seuttie
out of China with color of excuse.

that they will. He would better put his

The Reform of Criminals.

People are'prone to discuss at intervals
the alleged increase OF crime in thic

long enough about the matter to hit upon
any cause for such a phenomenon. The

who died several months ago. The Arch
episcopate of Dubuque is one CT the rich-
est and most important in America, and its
bestowal upon Archbishop keane is re-
garded by local Catholics as well-merited
recognition of his services TO the Catholc
Church in America
Archbishop John Joseph Keane was born
at Bally Shannon, Ireland. September u,
1899 He came to the United States in
1916. He received his education at ST.
Charles College, and later took his theo-
logical course at st. Mary's Seminary, Bal
timore. He was ordained priest in 1866,
and the same year he accepted the assistant
pastorate of St Patricks Church. Wash
ington with which he was connected I'M
til the year 1873. On August p, 1878, he
was consecrated Bishop of Richpond. Va.
During this time he was an active worker
in the Church and spent = great deal of
his time IN organizing societies OF the
Catholic Church.
Archbishop Keane's greatest work was
in his efforts to found the Catholic uni
versity of america. which will probably be
always regarded as a monument TO his un
firing energy and regard for the promotion
OF Catholic education in America. When
the institution was established Archbishop
Keane was made its rector. He had been
largely instrumental in soliciting the funds
by which the university was established.
It was during this period that he was haif
humorously known in church circles as the
..PrinceIy Beggar" Archbishop keane
continued at the head of the Catholic Uni,
versity until 1897. when he resigned and
went to Rome.
II was felt by many tlat the institution
suffered a great loss by his departure. 1t
was understood at the time that he was
not entirely in accord with the policy out
lined by the Catholic hierarchy in America.
Archbishop Keane stayed for some time in
Rome. and returned in the fall Of 1899 for
the purpose of soliciting funds for the en-
dowment of the university. In this he
was remarkably successful. some princely
donations having been secured through his
efforts. notably one from Michael Cudahy,
of Chicago.

CHARGES OF BRIBERY.
The Startling Results of Recent Mu-
nicIpaI InEestiEation.

SCRANTON, Pa. Sept. 1O.-Startling
charges regarding the bribery of scran-
ton councilmen were made today at the
Office of Alderman Fuller. An organiza-
ton of prominent citizens, called the

work OF Lexowing the city. A detective
named Harris was summoned from New

ing. In several instances courcilmen were
placed under arrest for accepting brides.
but the evidence was not sufficient at the
hearings. There were two alleged boodling
transactions particularly aggravating to
them. They were the passage of the
Lackawanna telephone ordinance and the
extension OF the lines of the Scranton
Railway Company.
Today Councilmen T. c. Melvin and
James B. Grier were arraigned, charged
with receiving brides. p. w. Gallagher.
now an attorney of the city and former
soliciting agent for the Scranton Railway
Company, was placed on the stand. He
swore that he gave money to Councilman
p F. McCann to distribute among coun-
cilmen to prevent the passage of the tele-
phone ordinance and that Mr.. Mccain
told him that S15c was the price paid for
EACH eouncilman's vote. with the exeep-
ton of the president of the select council
r. Fl. Williams. Williams demanded 500
and the money was given to him.
Other testimony was introduced show
ing that Messrs. Melvin and Grier had ac-
cepted as we'll as solicited money from
the street railway company for the exten-
sion OF the Nayauga Park branch and that
several city officials are practically pen
stoned by the Scranton Railway Company
and other big concerns which have favors
to ask of the councils. The city is pro-
foundly stirred and the Investigations are

criminal crop is to get hold of as many
children as possible who are born of
criminal or pauper parents. and put them

to save expenses in the police court Is
to watch for signs of good in youngsters

the ages of twelve and sixteen many a
boy or girl may be transformed from an
incipient hoodlum into a decent, self

stronger character for early lawlessness-
Another time when prevention is worth
something is in the vicinity of nineteen
or twenty years of age, when the youth
is likely to have gone just far enough IN
the ways of sin to get into trouble and be
branded as bad II such young law
breakers could be taken by the hand az

ferred to some new place where nobody
knew their history, and given a chance,
in most cases they would make the most
of it.
Finally. there is time even later. when
Z man is between twenty and thir-
ty, when, il he has anything coed left in
him, he may be brought back into self
respecting manhood. There are innum-
cradle men who, after several years Of
not very creditaE.e experiences, have
pulled themselves zip short when they
reached this age and become worthy men.
But the trouble with the man in the
crook class of society generally is that
when he reaches this time OF life he has
been in prison several times, has become
branded, and society makes it impossi-
Bile for him to behave well if he tries.
1t is important that no good impulse
should be crushed out of anybody. the
public ought to realize that this is not
profitable There ought to be enough
good sense and charitable feeling in the
community to make it possible for any
person who really wants to reform and
is willing TO try the uphill road OF

it, But as things are. such person gen.
