with so much pains we learned long
ago and forgot directly, we learn now
in few hours and never forget again.
We take a strange satisfaction in
working arithmetical problems. We
pause in our building to cover the
stones with figures and calculations.
We save money for a Latin grammar
and an algebra and carry them about
In our pockets, porting over them as
over our Bible Of old. We have thought
we were utterly stupid, incapable Of
remembering anything, of learning
anything. Now we find that all is
easy. Has new soul crept into this
old body, that even our intellectual
faculties are changed? We marvel,
not perceiving that what a man ex-
ponds in prayer and ecstasy he cannot
have over for acquiring knowledge.
You never shed tear or create q
beautiful image or CULVER with emo
ton but you pay for it at the practical,
calculating end of your nature. You
have just SO much force. When the

the trees on the campus.

ing OF the worms. said:
Unless concerted action is taken to de-
stroy these insects our shade trees will
surely go. l know Of no year when such
widespread damage has been done. The
preventives which see most people using
are rolls OF cotton. which are Yrapped
around the trunk of the trees. This ia
the very worst thing that could b. done
The cotton furnishes a fine breeding place
for new crops next year. People who have
placed these cotton traps on their trees
should see to 1t that they are removed
All places of c0ncealment. such as cracks
in the bark. corners of the fences. and
crevices In the house and stoop should be
examined and the egg masses removed
and burned.
The best way to kill the caterpilIars

PHILADELPHIA, July "a practical
joker is said to be responsible for the
death of Arnida Bernado. nine years old,
Of 32O5 Germantown Avenue, who died in

received yesterday while he was watching
his playmates celebrate Independence Day.
When Deputy Coroner Wolf began his

came to his death he Immediately turned
the case over TO Detective Mckinney for a
more searching investigation. Mckinney
is looking for the practical joker who
caused the boys death.
From the statement made by the dead
boys brother and several OF his play
mates. Bernado was sitting on a doorstep
at the northeast corner of Germantown
Avenue and Roy Street enjoying the noise
when young man came along and threw
a lighted cannon cracker on the step back
of the lad.
Before the youngster could get out Of

THE STEAMFITTERS' STRIKE.
Employers and Workmen Drifting
Further Apnrt.


From what was learned yesterday. there
seems but little hope that the differences
between the members Of Union No. 10,
Steam and Hot Water Filters, and Union
No. IS. Steam and Hot Water Filters
Helpers. and their employers. will be ami
cably adjusted. The breach between the
workmen and their employers has been so
widened that 1t appears impossible to
bridge it. From the turn affairs took yes
terday it would not be surprising If the
strike inaugurated by the steam and hot
water filters and their helpers on Monday
last would affect the other building trades
in the District. In reply to a communica-
ton sent to the Master Steam and Hot
Water Filters Association by the two
unions named, the former states In mcst
emphatic terms that 1t will not recognize
the organization. The text Of the reply is
as follows:
Your communication Of this date received and
lam instructed to say for NJ. 5. and II. ". F. A.
that as far az any union is concerned. we CON-
pletely ignore thc they ceased TO exist for us
when our past proposition OF April Is was ignored
by themselves. and as an utImatum, that you
may thoroughly understand our position in
this matter we make the following statements,
and shall endeavor to substantiate them:
First-we recognize union OF either filters or
helpers.
second-our scale of wages will be such to
suit ourselves.
Third-Thst this is to go into effect at the OPP
ton OF each and every master filter, suits their
convenience and requirements.
The status of the strike and the causes
which led to it have been reported to the
executive board of the National Steam and
Hot Water Filters Association, and q COM
munication has been received in reply,
stating that the national organization will
give the local workmen all the moral and
financial support in its power. 1t is be-
lieved by those prominent in labor circles
that the local strike will become a matter
OF concern to ali trades unions throughout
the United States, unless a settlement is
arrived at within the next few weeks.
The strike, as has heretofore been stated,
is the result of demand OF the steam
and hot water filters and their helpers
for an increase OF wages. The for
mer demanded an increase from So TO $3.50
per day. and the helpers from s1-50 TO 50
per day. This demand was refused by their
employers. who. as compromise. offered
the steam filters 1920 per day and the
helpers s1.60 per day. This offer was re-
fused by the Workmen.

throat when he appeared to be choking.
The vivid personal narrative published in
1863 in which Mr.. Loeb related these ex-
periences. is well worth reading for the
light il throws alike on the Chinese and
on the English character. The simplicity.
courage. and loyalty with which such ex-
ceptional sufferings were endured, and the
nnseltish consideration shown by all the
companions in misfortune for each other.
in circumstances which might well have
produced a mere despair of cynical indif-
ference, are worthy of the best traditions
CT the English race.
The story OF the release of the two pris-
oners. the terrible sufferings and death OF
tbeir comrades. and the subsequent burn
ing of the summer palace at Pekin are
too well known to relate in detail. So
nearly did the negotiations fail for the re-
Iaaea of Mr.. Psrkes and Mr.. Loeb that
they only escaped by ten minutes the ar
rival of the imperial order for their execu-
tIon.s Mr.. Parkes was afterward told by

CADETS TO GO INTO CAMP.
To Share Fortune With the National
Guard at Gaithersburs.

To Share Fortune With the National
Guard mt Gaithersburs.
Arrangements have been completed for
the participation of the High School Ca
diets In the annual encampment of the
District OF Columbia National Guard, at
Gaithersburg, Nd, commencing July 10.
The project originated with the High
School boys, and received the approval of
General Harries when the question was
mentioned to him. 1t is believed that the
presence OF a provisional regiment of
cadets at Camp Ordway will be beneficial
both to the Guard and the High School
Organization, and II sufficient number
OF cadets desire to avail themselves OF
the privilege OF camping with the militia
the plan will be carried out.
Last year the cadets held an unsuccess-
full encampment, from a military stand
point. at Ocean View, Va, and 1t is
thought that in conjunction with tho
Guard, the encampment this year can be
made a source OF instruction in drill as
well as of pleasure. The expense has been
reduced to between SO and 81 for each man
during the trip. including railroad fare
and rations for the ten days spent in camp.
The equipment. including tents. haver-
sacks, guns, bedding. and leggins, will
be supplied by the Guard. In camp the
cadets will take part in the drills and
other duties on an equal footing with other
organizations in the Guard. One of the
best features is the fact that the boys will
receive instructions in extended order and
other maneuvres which do not form a part
of the regular course OF instruction dur
ing the school year. A meeting of the
cadets will be held Friday evening, July
-. In the rife practice hall of the National
Guard Armory TO complete the arrange
ments- Lieutenant Colonel Potter is
making up list of the boys who desire
to go to Gaithersburg. and it is requested
that those who have not yet done SO will
send him their names as soon as possible.
All cadets, and former members of the
organization, are urged to take part in
the encampment.
