Armor for Future Soldiers.

New Orleans Times Democrat:

of modern warfare make armor emil

power rife will carry two miles, and 1t
is next to impossible for troops to adj

continuous and well directed. But sup

they could approach within say half

there is exactly where armor comes In.

Brother Jlm,s Prosperity.

Kansas City Journal: In western
Kansas there is well-known politician
who has brother in Montana. A num-
Der of years ago this Montana brother
borrowed $3.50 from his Kansas klns-
man, and up to very recent date had
neglected to pay IT back. During the
hearing of the Clark bribery case be-
fore the United States senate there was
some testimony which Indicated that
the Montana brother, who is a member
of the state senate, had received 10000
from one of the agents of Clark. When
this came to the knowledge Of the Kan
sas brother he wrote to the Montana
brother, as follows:
my DEAR JIM see by the pa
pers that you nre alleged to have re-
ceivcd $4,000 for voting for Senator
Clark, II 1t Is true suppose you
must be in funds and I wish you would
send me that $3.50. Wouldn't have dun

man received the following reply:

As the presient of the West Virginia
University has resigned his position, to
take effect at the close of the school
year, there are. It seems, plenty Of APP
pllcants for the position. 1t is to be
hoped that the board of regents will
make no mistake in the selection of the
right man for the place. Our highest
school Of learning should have a man
Mt It's head who Is an educational lead
err. He should be manager of men, as
we'll us n leader OF men. Our university
has been on the high road to prosperity
for the past few years, in spite Of all
the contentious and dissensions in the
faculty. The university Is for the
good OF the entire state. not for any
one section Of 1t. There is too much at
stake to allow any man or any set OF
men to do anything that will be detri-
mental to the school, In saying this the
writer does not take sides with any one
in the trouble. but he only wishes for
the success OF the school. 1t Is very
unfortunate that there should be any
difficulty, but let the board Of regents
act in the matter with an eye to the
very best interest of the school, let who
will or may be affected by their so do
Ing. Word Is received from the school
that It is receiving new students almost
daily and the attendance during the
year will be greatly In excess OF any
former year.

1t is well that we see ourselves as
others see us. now and then. We re-
quire our pupils to obey us perfectly,
and 1t is right. We lay down the law
to them. and they must obey, 1t may
do US good now aud then, both as
teachers and members Of the board OF
education, to know what the pupils
think OF us. The following is taken
from an essay written by an eighth
year pupil Of one OF our city schools.
The subject Of the essay was THE Last
Two Months of School," and the pupil
gives her opinion on very live educa-
tional subject. IT don't think we ought
to have any school In June. They do
not have any In that month IN Ohio,
and I do not see why we have school
during June. II the members Of our
board of education were still attending
school IN such hot weather as we have
in June. much less to have final e%nmt-
nations, they would not wish to have
school. But we must excuse them as
they have forgotten, perhaps. that they
ever attended school: but we scholars
will not forget this. and when we grow
to be men and women. and have any
thing to say In the matter, there VIII
be no school to attend in June" Many
of our very best educators are think
ing Just ms this school girl thinks. and
in many places schools close the last OF
May. There are many arguments In
favor Of the plan.

In two months or little less the
state educational association will meet
Mt Parkersburg. The programme, as
published in the West Virginia School
Journal, is good one, and no doubt the
attendance Will be very large. There
VIII be more Wheeling teachers present
than at any former meeting, unless 1t
be the one held In Wheeling. The meet
Ing of this body ought to be m cdncn-
tional Jubilee. Teachers from oil over
the state ought to flock to 1t and spend
two or three days in becoming better
acquainted Even the leading teachers
OF the state do not know each other as
they ought. 1t VIII do much good to the
cause to meet together, once a year, II
for no other purpose than to get better
acquainted. Let this next meeting be
one Of the old-fashioned sort. when
from 300 to 400 attended. The people OF
Parkersburg will no doubt give the
teachers a most cordial greeting.

TOPICS OF THE SCHOOLS.

There are often very interesting and
unlocked for items la the reports q orr
schools. For instance. there have been
l,Oos different pupils enrolled in Richie
school since the first of September 1889.
This, OF Itself, IS not interesting only as
the large number enrolled. but when we
find that 5Oi of these are boys and SOL
of them are girls we find something
that perhaps will not occur In one
school in a thousand. In the lower
rooms the boys are in the majority,
while about three girls go TO the high
school to where one boy goes. This is
not as It should be, and the parents of
wheeling viii awaken to this fact when
It is too late. our boys need the ad-
vantage of the high school Just as much
as the girls do. and the future useful
ness OF many OF them depends on what
education they get there, for many Of
them viii never go higher. Let our
boys be taught, first OF all, that their
success In life depends upon their own
efforts, and then that everything else
being equal, the more good school drill
they receive, the better win It be for
them.

NO COURTESY SHOWN.

Chicago, July 1S.-A. A. Stagg sends
the Record the following from Paris:
The worlds championship meet, which
in many respects proved a farce last
Saturday, was a tragedy Sunday Not
that any one was injured or the Amer
lean contestants defeated. 1t was sim
ply a tragedy of blasted hopes and am
billions. after months of hard work-a
tragedy in that certain indisputable
rights were trampled on and the sacred
altar of justice overturned when we
supposed we were the welcome guests
of a kindly host.
Baht Rights, justice, courtesy! 1t is
the experience of the American athletes
that they haven't the slightest chance
the slightest consideration was due the
American college athletes who had been
permitted by their faculties to take the
trip only upon the representation of the
committee that the games would be held
on week days They easily excuse their
change of date, but they give little con-
sideration to the sufferers. They cannot
see that any injustice has been done.
After we had mutually agreed at last
who did not wish to compete in the Sun
day field events to do so on Monday,
they lightly cast aside their promises
and held the finals on Sunday Never
theless. it made no difference to them
that all our ten representatives under
stood the matter in the same way. They
calmly replied: There is nothing in
writing to show this"
Man after man vainly protested. It
made no difference. The committee
seems to be utterly devoid of sense of
justice and equity.

HAIR WHITE FROM FRIGHT.
Remarkable Experience of Wichita
Woman in Shipwreck.

Fort Scott, July 1S.-Yesterday morn
ing a nice looking, neatly dressed young
woman stepped UP to a window at the
Missouri Pacific depot and addressed
Mr.. Hollinger by name in a very Socia-
Bile manner. He recognized her voice
but could not for moment identify
her. After few sentences had passed,
he recognized her as a young woman
whom he and his family had known
well in Wichita six years ago. She at
that time had hair as jet black as any
that ever adorned the head of woman,
but now it is almost snow white and
this is why he didn't know her. His
curiosity was aroused by the unusual
change in her hair and he remarked
about it
She explained that it had become sud-
denly gray while she was in a ship
wreck in the Caribbean sea about four
years ago. Her husband, Mr.. McComas
of Wichita, had gone to Honduras to
prospect and she had followed him. The
steamer ran onto rocks and remained
fast for five days. Then it drifted, help
less, for nine days before it was finally
picked up and the passengers rescued.
The fright of the wreck and the awful
suspense following it had caused Mrs
McComas' hair to become white.
