urable and entertaining gatherings,
such as young and old folks sing

sweetest music made at the singing
given at DR.. Doris was the chin
music made by Miss Lucy" After
singing, he accompanied another
one OF Forest Hill's fair bellies to
her home and from the effect pro-

some good chin music also.

A large number of people

At MS home, ten miles west

A. Lockman celebrated his
18th birthday by giving a
public invitation to his rel

to meet at his home, where
the following programme was

of bi-weekly balls, the first of
which was given last Friday, and
proved a great success,

dustrious, honest man, always true
to his friends. He leaves a wife
and six children, who have the
sympathy of many friends. Mr..
Owens was a member of the Baptist
Church.
Sundays Commercial Appeal
contained information to the effect
that arrangements had been made
by which the fast trains between
New Orleans and Chicago and Mem

ton is TO put on an extra passenger
train from Chicago to New Orleans
down the old main line through
Jackson, which will run ahead of
the fast trains both ways and take
care of the local business. The
present understanding is that the
changes will become effective next

twenty-five years ago this theory was used

HOW LASALLE CAUGHT FIRST
'POSSUM.

Maurice Thompson in the Atlantic.)
1t was December. the year 1879, with q
snow-storm sianting down from the
Canadian Wilderness, and La Sale had
been lost for whole day from his little
band. la Sale and his men had assembled
the st. Joseph river and were looking for
the portage point between 1t and the
kankakee, which they had inadvertently
passed. Restless impatient, ever ener-
getic, La Sale went ashore all alone to
examine the country. His little company
padded some distance farther upstream,
where they came to anchor and awaited
his return. "We stopped here for some
time" says Hennepin, land. as La Sale
did. not come, l went into the forest
considerable distance with two men, who
fired their guns to let him know where
we were. At the same time two other
men in canoes went up the river farther
got back, after fruitless search, and on
the following day myself went up the
river, but could hear nothing OF aim, and
came back to find our men greatly troub-
led, fearing he was lost. But at about
OF the clock In thu afternoon, here
came Nj. La Sale back to US, his face as
black as tar. He was carrying two ami
mails of the size OF muskrats, with fine,
errnine-like fur. These he had killed
with a club while they hung from the
branches OF trees by their tails
Hennepin then tells how La Sale had
wandered In the snow -storm getting lost
in swamps and woods, and how when
night fell he stumbled on until he saw a
fire on u hilioek, approaching which he
haliooed in friendly way. No answer
came, so he strobe boldly TO the spot and
took possession of bed of grass, made
warm by the body of the Indian who
had just fled from 1t. And here, after
building a brush barricade, he lay down
and slept, while the pine-wood Ire smoked
his face and hands 10 African dinginess.
Meantime the snow fell thick and fast.

1t is easy enough to stand by ones con-
victlons when they happen to be the same
as thoss held by the great majority OF
one S party. The test Of a mans courage
and his fidelity comes when he holds
opinions contrary to those OF the mass
and Is in o position where he ought to
express them. Il Is test which, we are
sorry to say, very few successfully pass.
In the great majority of casss either
silence Is preserved altogether or ones
convict ions are modified In their express
sion sufficiently not to conflict harshly
with those OF the crowd. since the Span
ish war the two Maine Senators have
radically disagreed on the subject OF ex-
pansion. Nobody questions but both have
been perfectly honest in their opinions,
that both were sctuated by honorable
motives With Senator Frye's views the
great majority OF the Republicans have
beea In accord, and of course out OF nc
cord with those of Senator Hale. This
being the case Senator Hale must have
known that he was going before an audi
ence at Bangor that would receive him
coldly, at leasS In comparison with the
warmth OF the reception accorded to his
colleague. Neverthele IS he went before
them and plainly stated his position. He
did not wobble, he did not equivocate,
but In calm and dlspassionate way,
without impugning the motives of any
one who disagreed with him, stated his
convictions. 1t was courageous and cred
liable act upon his part, and it ought to
win for him new respect and regard from
every Republican In Maine, whether he
agrees with him or not. and we believe
it will,

Croker has discovered a new indignity
put upon the American nation, and he
proposes to resent it in a resolution at
Kansas City. Americans have been al
lowed to fight In China under an English
admiral. Everybody can see that this is
an outrage that calls for the sternest sort
of reprobation. Subordinating our cur
rency system to Threadneedle- street was
nothing compared to this latest outrage
allowing our navies to fight under an
English Admiral This will furnish
Mr.. Croker and his fellow Democrats a
much better subject to resolve upon than
even the Boer war. No fighting under an
English Admiral would furnish just the
sort Of o cry that is needed to whoop
up the Tammany boys. Bryan and
Altgeid, welded as they are to 10 to /,
can be relied upon to see the superiority
of this cry. The great brain of Croker
has not been throbbing in vain.

THE OBJECTION TO MIR. REED.
New York SUM-
JEWS In THE SCHOOLS OF NEW
YORK.
New York SUM-

OF the $40 girls who passed successfully
normal college this month the great ma
jority are Jews. More than five-sixths
of the whole number came from the pub
lie schools, of which for many years past
the best scholars have been of that race
chiefly.
The names of these girls indicate the
great variety OF nationalities now max
ing up the population of New York. Pol
ish Jewish names are numerous, and all
the different countries from which of late
years has come SO large Jewishsa immi-
grafton are represented in the list. Next
come Irish names, but relatively their
number is not great, and of the purely
English there are comparatively few.
Scandinavian names are noticeable Con-
sidering the large Italian population now
here, the small number OF girls represent
ing that race would be surprising II it
were not that the great mass of these
Italians are still newcomers. Eventual
frequent among the more proficient schol-
airs of the public schools. Already they
are beginning to appear In the lists of
the more adroit politicians OF the town,
and as time goes on we shall have to
count more and more with the subtle
Italian intellect in our politics.
1t is the Jews, however, who are inn
proving the advantages Of the public
schools most industriously and most
effectively, and from them the boys and
girls pass to the free colleges beyond,
where they ara always in powerful force.
OF about $40 graduates from the public
schools admitted to the free city college
for boys, the vast majority also are of
the Jewish race, the proportionate num-
Der of other races BEING even smaller than
among the girls admitted to the normal
college. English names are even rarer
than among the girls. but relatively there
are more Italian, though, perhaps. fewer
Irish names. Take, as an exampl, of
many, the successful pupils OF the
grammar school No. ~ situated at STAN
ton and Sheruff streets:--

l.. Bieber, w. Ciler, l.. Carp, H. Dom

Thus 1t happens that the supply of
teachers and Tor the professions Is coming
SO largely from the Jewish race. Jews
are also now notable part of the
students In our great universities.

The Chinese trouble Is SO monopolizing
public attention that few reports get
through from South Africa. Such news
as Wa get, however, seems to show that
the Beers have adopted guerilla war
fare and are worrying the English good
deal. No doubt just now the Beers are
buoyed up by the hope that the Chinese
situation may develop conflict that will
compel England to draw off some of her
troops from South Africa. The hope Is
by no means an entirely foundationless
one, for already Lord Roberts has been
asked to spare some of his troops, though
he has replied that the situation Will not
permit it.
