CONTROVERSY OVER CLASSICS.
Charges Made Against the Catholic
Rrothers' American schools.

According to a despatch received by
cable from Rome. the schools Of the Chris
tian Brothers in this country are not con-
forming to the acknowledged rules OF the
order. and have thereby displeased the
eentraling organization. located in Paris.
1t is asserted that these rules, which were
formulated by the Holy John Baptist De
La Sale the founder of the order, ex-
pressly forbids the teaching Of Greek and
Latin classics. and that this rule is being
systematically violated in the American
schools of the order. It is further asserted
that the supreme general of the order. in
Paris. has formulated complaint in the
matter, addressed to the congregation Of
the Propaganda. and the complaint is now
awaiting the decision of the Pope, which
it is necessary to obtain before any action
can be taken.
II is the confident expectation OF the
members of the order in this city that his
holiness will take no action in the matter
whatever Since the foundation of the or
der. in the seventeenth century. the rules
have constantly been altered or amended
in order to meet transporting conditions.
In fact as II exists today. the organization
bears little resemblance to the order
founded by ST. De La Sale. The original
purpose OF the society was to educate the
children OF parents who were Unable to
send their offspring to the Jesuit colleges.
This has been so far changed in that edu-
cation in the schools and colleges of the
Christian Brothers is now very expensive
in this country.
The rule prohibiting the teaching OF
q =
sion. was, according to q member OF the
order in this city. introduced primarily TO
distinguish the Brothers schools from those
of the Jesuit. and to provide n course of
practical training which would fit pupils
for success in workaday life. 1t is under
stood that the discipline of the order is
by no means severe. and that no very strin-
gent rule prevails against the introduction
of new study should existing conditions
in the Judgment of the Brother Superior
-ender such change advisable in his
own province.

FORGOTTEN BY OLD FRIENDS.
JaJGe Springer. of Illinois. Ua-
known Without His Hnir.

A pleasant looking. elderly man bobbed
in and out among the guests at the White
House reception yesterday, greeting many
people cordially and seemingly obiivious
10 the fact that most OF those to whom he
spoke were reserved in returning his salu-
tations. His head was almost perfectly
bald. little patch OF white hair above
each ear was all that he could boast OF.
His chin was clean shaver and he wore
a snow-white moustache. When the pleas
ant looking man shook hands with Presi-
dent Mckinley he received an ordinary
greeting quite at variance with his own
cordial manner and words. Then the pleas
ant looking man said something 10 the
President. and Mr.. Mckinley grasped his
hand firmly and beamed all over. Who
is he? | don't know him. said nearly
everybody who had been accosted by The
man with scsnt white hair. Somebody had
Just said this when nc caught the sound
of the mans voice again. Springer" he
cried and in an instant group of those
who had been guessing at the identity of
the mysterious stranger were gathered
about him apologizing for their former lack
of cordially.
The stranger was William NJ Springer,
OF Illinois, for several terms Representa-
tive from that State and now a Federal
Judge in Oklahoma. He was one of the
Democratic leaders when Mckinley was in
the House, and succeeded Mr.. Mckinley as
chairman of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. Judge Springer's personal appearance
has changed almost entirely. The loss OF
his hair has changed the appearance OF his
head, and the iron gray beard was gone,
while the brown mustache had become
white Close observers at yesterdays recep-
lion noted that Judge Springer aid not

present while he was member of the
House. Everybody appeared glad to see
Judge Springer. and he found that he was
Just as popular as ever.

ner in which they take advantage or

carrying on the war. The writer says:

il looks like Mauser ammunition, but

base you will see that one is *. c.

dropped. and the other is reloaded

will go into 4 clip. / tried them in a
captured Mauser rife and il works fine

the Remington is just as ingenious.
They use anything from an old 40 PTS
toll shell or the shell of a 30-calibre, to
a homemade shell from tin can.
Except in the Mausers, of which they
have only n few, they use black pow

ed once. Both are believed TO be IA
tally wounded. Four bullets struck
Harrington, one entering the thigh
from the back. Harrington tried time
after time to fire second shot, but
each time the hammer of his revolver
failed to explode the cartridge.
Hudon, it is alleged, was in love
with Harrington S sister, and there We're
reports that they We're TO be married.
These reports Were accepted as true
for a time, but finally Hudson denied
the truth OF the rumOr. y few days

at that time that if Hudson did not
go there and marry his sister he would
kill him. Matters stood in this posi-
