The George Junior Republic at
Freeville, N. Y, is, perhaps, the most
remarkable community ever devised.
This extraor dinary reformatory is lit
orally nation in miniature, with its
own parliament and laws; its own
coinage, police, prisons. shops, farms.
newspapers, hotels, banks, etc. The
founder of this Republic is Mr.. Will
lam r. George. Some years ago he
became much interested in problems
concerning juvenile law-breakers and
sincorrigibles" in New York City,
and made up his mind to try the ex.
pertinent of taking them away from
their evil surroundings in the city, and
giving them chance to reform in
the country. At first the experiment
was not wholly success. but gradu-
ally the scheme of self-governing
Republic was perfected, and with the
very best of results. July 10th, 1895,
is counted as Independence Day" I"
and is celebrated each year.
The smallest Republic in the world
is likewise the most extraordinary
and probably the best governed. 1t is

of its inhabitants, and in the age and
size of its citizens. And yet there
are few of the best characteristics Of
the largest democracies which have
not their counterpart in the smallest.
The interest taken in the enterprise
is shown from the fact that on some
days during the summer they have
over 200 visitors.
The George Junior Republic, as it
is called, is located at Freeville, in
Tompkins County, New York. Its
citizens are boys and girls, gathered
largely from the slums of great cities.
Most of them have "histories" more
interesting than creditable. They
have been horse thieves, p.ckpockets,
runaways, and on the whole, very
promising candidates for iails, peni-
tentiaries, "dives" and the gallows.
At the Republic, however, they are
soon transformed into independent,
thrifty, law making, law-abiding citi-
zens.
The territory of the Republic con-
sists of about 100 acres of farm land
not far from Ithica. There are only
ten plain wooden buildings in the
metropolis. These comprise two
cottages, one for boys and one for
girls; the ''Republic" building, con-
tanning the library, kitchen, restau-
rants, hotel and "garroot" lodging
house; the school-house, bank and

When we remember that these
laws against swearing, gambling,
smoking and other vices, with theiy
heavy penalties attached, are of the
boys own making, and are enforced
by the boys with rigor which shows
a strong public sentiment against the
evils, we have some idea of the success
which has attended this most interest.

Commissioner, Sheriff, and in fact
almost every prominent civic Office
excepting that of Coroner-has its
counterpart in this Junior Republic.
There is even an officer detailed in
the early fall to compel lazy truants
to attend school. The representative
form of government, however, was
found to be too unwieldly for so small
a Republic, and at the suggestion of
one of the boys town meeting was
substituted for Congress as the law
making body.
There are two political parties in
the Republic, the &c. G. P" or Good
Government Party and the &c. O.
p, or Grand Old Party. Hot are
the contests waged.
"Woman Suffrage" prevails at the
Republic, since to refuse them the
ballot would mean taxation without
representation.
A heavy fine was imposed on cigar
cite smoking, but nevertheless some
would often steal away beyond the po-
liceman's beat, and indulge in this
habit. Consequently an amendment
was passed which made citizen liable
to arrest and punishment if even the
smell OF smoke could be detected in
his breath. The penalty is fine oi
from one dollar to three dollars, OF
from one to three days in the work
house.
Gambling of any sort receives no
quarter from the officials. The first
boy caught shooting craps" was nc

Senate of the Republic; and ever
though he pleaded gully, the judge
fined him twenty-five dollars. He re

and other officials must pass a Civil

quence the most thumbed books in the
library of the Republic are those con-

New York State. All tenure of office
is dependent upon upright behavior.
It is the ambition of every boy to at.

striped trousers. Most of them in
deed would rather be "cop" than Presi-
dent. In 1895 force of fourteen
policemen was necessary to preserve
order, but now the State is encum-
bered with the support of only two.
There is, of course, smart little

most heart-stirring appeals are made
to the jury. Only one case of bribery
has ever been discovered, and on that
occasion the guilty official was i'm
mediately deposed, and suffered dis
grace as we'll as legal penalties.
But the citizens of the Republic
spend comparatively small part of
their time making laws and breaking
them. Each must be at work earning
his or her own living. Bear in mind
that the motto of the Republic is,
Nothing without labor" and this
motto is strictly adhered to, except
in case of sickness. Every citizen is

Carries Water From the Well.

The labor of carrying pals of waite,
from the we'll to the house day after
day soon becomes monotonous and
tiresome, and as the work generally
falls on the women of the household,
anything which will tighten the labor
will be duly appreciated. Henry w.
Hairless, of Good Hope, Mo-, has
evolved an apparatus by means of
which it is possible to send the pals
to the we'll, fill them and return them
to the house without doing any heavy
lifting, the operator simply standing
at the house and turning crank.
The buckets are suspended on the
ends of the ropes, which are wound
on the drum, the latter being sup
ported by q carriage riding on the

clothes. There are two adult head
farmers, as we'll as a carpenter and a
housekeeper. who superintend the
work; but the boys themselves take
contracts for running the hotels,
making roads, laying drains, farming,
building, etc. These contractors hire
laborers at wages ranging from fifty
cents to $1.50 per day, according to
the skill of the workman. The girls
are employed at household duties,
and the minors usually help their
guardians. Wages are paid once a
week, and no favors are shown to
those workmen or Government off,
cials who recklessly spend their earn
ings the first few days of the week.
A coarse diet and hard bed are the
lot of spendthrifts and loafers.
At first very lenient pauper laws
! were passed. Paupers were fed at
the expense of the State, although in
a humiliating manner at second
table from which the cloth and other
''luxuries" had been removed, and
| where portions were served like prison
.ations. But some boys had but lit
tle self-respect, and preferred to idle
away their time and be dependent up
on the charity of the Republic. Hav-
ing no income or property they were
practically tax free, and it was not
long before the Industrious taxpayers
began to realize the expense which
idlers entailed on the State. Finally
Senator, whose own parents at home
were wholly dependent upon city
charity, submitted bill to the Legis-
lature to the effect that those "who
would not work should not eat" The
poor but dishonest we're thus deprived
of support. At the same time. those
who through illness are unable to
work are provided with free meal

At - o'clock a large crowd had
gathered at the resting place of the
famous woman. The exercises were
opened with prayer by DIR. Arthur
Gaylord Slocum, President of Kala-
mazoo College. The yelling was re-
moved from the shaft by Victoria and
Mabel Bondy, great-granddaughters
of Frances Slocum. Then followed
an address by Charles f. Slocum, of
Defiance. Ohio, and speeches by early
settlers of Indiana and other citizens
interested in the strange and pathetic
story of the white woman who be-
came socially lost to her people by
contact with the American Indians.
Frances Slocum was carried away
from the home of her parents in what
is now Wabash County, Indiana, in
1778. She was child of five years
at that time. In spite of almost
superhuman efforts made by her
family nothing was learned OF her fate
until 1885, when she was found living
with the Miamis near Peru. She had
become the wife of chief and had
lost all traces of her English origin
save in complexion and features.
When it was proposed that she re-
turn to her people she fatty refused
to do so. She had forgotten her child
hood, her language and her race, and
remained with the Indians almost to
the day of her death in 1S47. For
several years members of the Slocum
family have been active in raising
funds for the monument which has
Just been unveiled.

Soldiers That Arc Insane.

San Francisco, May 3.-The twenty
two insane soldiers who arrived by the
Sherman the other day make the total
number of insane soldiers who have
been brought home from the Philip
pines 352. To this number should be
added most of the SO soldiers and Off
GERS who have committed suicide in
Manila, as n majority of them destroy
ed themselves when out of their minds.
The total number of soldiers and Off
GERS who are thus shown to have be-
come insane in is the islands Is more
than 400. Doctors who discuss the mat
ter give various reasons for this alarm
ing prevalence of insanity in the army
in the Philippines, but the most potent
cause Is said to be the use Of the strong
native wines, which proves to be very
dangerous to Americans who use 1t.
The eating of richly seasoned food,
which is sold in many places in Manila.
is another cause, and the fatigue and
hardships of campaigning in tropical
country complete the list Of causes as
signed.

the Oahu Railroad

II needs but a short visit to the Ho-
nolulu depot and shops of the o. II. G.
l.. Co. to convince one that the men at
the head of affairs are keeping abreast
of the times. In addition to the five
new coaches that have Just been put on
the road, there is an observation car
now being built in the shops. This will
be for private parties wishing to ira
vel exclusively, and the directors Of
the road. From its present appearance
II will be on par with anything in the
United States. Lounges for the day
time will be arranged so that berths
may be made out of them by night.
The car part will hold about eight per-
sons. The observation part will be
spacious and fitted up in the latest
approved style.
The new coaches are very handsome
and are an improvement over the old
ones. The seats, in place of being COW
cred with velvet, are done in wicker
and the windows are arranged so that,
in place of the lower part coming on
a level with the eye. a complete and
unobsrtucted view of the country may
be had.
The front part of one of these
coaches is partitioned off for a smok-
ing room and is calculated to hold six
teen people. The chair car is another
fine addition. A Chinese porter attends
to the wants of the passengers in this
| coach. The very moderate sum of
| fifty cents extra is asked for accommo-
dations in this coach all the way to
Kahuku. Smoking and chair coaches
are attached to the regular morning
| and afternoon through trains
Passenger Agent Fred Smith states
that the passenger trains will no long
| er be burdened with freight cars and
that hereafter, the former will be run
