IDENT ELIOTs BIRTHDAY.

Cambridge Mass. March 23-The March 'Har
ward Monthly" contains an eloquent appeal by Pro-
fessor George Santayana, of the department OF
philosophy. for change in the method of teaching
Latin in the present educational system. He says
that the learning of Latin fashion. and has
passed all fashions do. Instead of teaching
with Latin and Greek words, teachers should deal
with Latin and Greek things. Leave the Latin
language to the philologists. says Professor San
tayana, $50 wretched and grotesque shadow as
the Latin is in the average mind is not worth
fighting for He takes the position In regard to
Latin which those do who claim that classic
Greek should be taught living language only.
because modern Greek is living continuation of it.

TESTERS CALF.
1t Led to His Arrest and Trial
in Illinois.

ST. Louis. Mo-, July ia special to
the Post-Dispatch from New London,
No, says:
Instead Of waning interest in the Jes-
ter trial is increasing. The whole coun-
try seems to be watching this case,
judging from the letters and kilograms
coming from different parts of the
United States, inquiring about the de-
PENDANT and his alleged victim 1t is
said that if Jester is acquitted and that
Is what the defendant and his attorneys
claim to be confident of. he will not go
and exhibit himself.
The state has traced Jester through
Kansas and Missouri and today it is
following him through Illinois. Senator
sylvester Allen, a citizen of Scott coun-
ty, Illinois, testified that In 1871 he re-
sided near Naples, ILL.,, on the state
road leading from Naples to Jackson
Vile The witness said that in the win
ter OF that year man, who he after
ward learned was Alexander Jester
stopped at his house over night The
stranger was driving one team and
leading another. He had a buffalo calf
Senator Allen said that Jester attracted
MS attention by his peculiar demeanor.
He would not eat what Mr. Alien had
for supper, but took from his own wagon
some Jerked buffalo meat and gave the
Jester used a large dirk knife to cut of
bits of the meat. He would not sleep in
the house, but slept in his wagon
Herman Hofferkamp, who was in the
livery stable business at Springfield Ill
said that in 1871, Jester and his teams
stopped at his barn and stayed there
about one week When he departed he
left very intelligent shepherd dog
which the witness said he kept. This
IS supposed TO be the dog that belonged
to Gilbert W. Gates. Mr.. Hofrerkamp
testified that at this place Jester sold
his buffalo calf for part cash, the bal
ance to be paid on the following day
When Jester failed to receive the bal
ance due, he called on the purchaser, q
man named Still, for the buffalo Still
refused to give the animal up willing
ly and Jester took IL anyway Still
had Jester arrested At the trial Jester
was acquitted
Bartweu Durham testified that in
1871 Alexander Jester sold three buffalo
hides to man named A Dennis of De-
catur. Ill. who is now dead Dennis
took the hides to Dunham's father to
be tanned The hides were put into the
vat Some time after A. A. Gates came
along on the trace Of Alexander Jester
who, he alleged. had killed his SON
The hides were examined and blood
was found on the hairy side Of one OF
them The theory is that this was the
blood of Gilbert w Gates.
Mrs Matilda Dennis corroborzted
Dunham's testimony. She remembers
her husband telling about buying three
bloody hides from Jester.
