Club Ethics.

The Royal Yacht Squadron recently
held an election and blackballed a
number OF applicants for admission
to the squadron Of which the Prince
of Wales is commodore. In conse-
quence the Prince called an extra
meeting to alter the rules so that the
next election would be by a club COM
mittee and no. by the whole member
ship. But the smart set Of England
is not subservient and the club not
only voted against the Princes prop
osition but made the conditions of
election more stringent than ever by
decreeing that one blackball in five
shall exclude instead of one in Ten.
Club ethics is special and very
technical department of the science.
A set Of people have agreed to
gether to pay a certain amount for
the accomplishment Of an end or
purpose only attsinable by association.
They have right to protect them
selves by strict rules covering the ad-
mission OF new members. The object

of most social clubs is to have good
time. Happiness is impossible in the
enforced society Of obnoxious people.
The Princes nominees were his
friends and he desired to please them
and himself by securing their admis-
sion to the most exclusive club in
England. Some Of the men he pro-
posed were obnoxious to old members
of the club. Their admission meant
a lowering Of the tone OF the club and
Englishmen are not to be bullied into
releasing their right to cOngenial
company even by royalty itself. So
the Prince was snubbed and the prin.
ciple was once more insisted upon
that the old members of a club have a
right. by the use of the blackball, to
keep the membership Of a club the
same in quality as when it was found
ed.
The principle in question is even
worth sacrificing the Prince of Wales
friends and hurting his feelings to
establish. A club is founded by GER
tain people, not for business but for
pleasure. Theologians have decided
that HadeS is not so much a place Of
flame and burning. as it is club Of

ty cannot change this syllogism.
The St. Louis Strike.
After fifty-siX days duration, the st.
Louis strike has been declared off.
Representatives of the company and
the executive committee of the strik-
ers signed an agreement, which. for
the present settles the trouble.
The Agreement:
1. The provisions of the agreement
of March 10th, 1900, as to rates of paw
and hours of service will be continued
in force by the company.
2. Every employe of the company
to be free 10 join or not to join any
to be made for or against him be-
cause of the manner in which he eX-
erciSes his freedom.
3. Any attempt on the part of any
employe to induce another employe
by intimidation OF threats to join or
not to join any union shall be cause
of the immediate discharge of the
person guilty OF such attempt.
4. Any attempt to influence any
employe by an official OF the company
to join or not to join any union shall
be cause of the discharge of such Of
fetal.
5. The company will meet any en-
ployes or committee of employees,
whether representing themselves. 9TH
er employees or an association Of en-
ployes. regarding any matter of mu-
tual interest.
6. For the purpose of filling vacan-
cies which may now exist or hereafter
arise, the committee of former en-
ployes. Of which T. B. Edwards is
shall prepare list of the
men who were in the company's ser
vice May 7th last, and as the company
now or hereafter needs additional men
it will select them exclusively from
this list until it is exhausted, not in
terfering, however, with men now in
the service. No person shall be eligi-
bic to this list who has been guilty of
any acts OF lawlessneSs or violence.

India Famine Fond.
A movement to aid the 10000, 900 in
India who are starving to death has
been started in various parts of this
country. In Lincoln Doctor Manss,
of the First Congregational church,
has assumed the charge Of such con.
Jributiops.

sent Immediately. The distance
should not decrease our benefactions.

popular to lay the famine at the door
of England and over taxation but In
dia starved whenever the monsoon
rains failed long before the English
occupation. The famine destroys
more people because there are more
people to destroy. English sanitation
and the sanitary police have cleaned
the houses and the alleys and lowered
the death rate so that when the crops
fail there are many more mouths to
feed than in the old days when only
the strongest lived. Funds received
can be telegraphed to the proper
agency so that the starving in India
may be immediately relieved.

Our School System.
Mr.. Marion Hill has made some
very interesting experiments on
school children and their apprehen-
sion of patriotic songs and themes.
The experiments are recorded in the
current McClure's, which bears off the

zines for number of years has
curious effect. Unless the reader has

ter how gorgeous the cover is and how
clever and fascinating are the illus
trations. the sophisticated reader is
sure, before he cuts the leaves that he
will find nothing new. He keeps on
from month to month cutting maya
zine pages because he occasionally
comes across something drawn from
life, like this "'Star Spangled Banner

Children of ten years and there

We are too cOmplacent about our
school system. 1t has not progressed
rapidly in the last one hundred wears.
1t has changed, and TIE children
study about twice as many subjects as
parents or rather grand parents were
obliged to study. 1t may be because
the classes are so large that teachers
have not the opportunity of finding
out how Obscurely and dimly the pu-
