DislikeOur school system.

Chicago, April 12.-Delegntes to the
third annual convention Of Catholic col
leges devoted their attention yesterday
to the consideration of technical sub
jects Speakers at the afternoon session
declared that modern educational !egis-
lation threatened the life of the paro-
,chial school System. 1t was argued that
under existing conditions Catholics
were compelled to pay taxes for the

that the state should recognize Catholic
schools on the same basis With other
educational institutions to which fnan-

To Write American Novel.

Indianapolis, April 12.-Close personal
friends of General Lew Wallace are au-
thority for the statement that he de-
signs writing an American novel, and
that he will begin the work Just 2s soon
as he completes his memoirs" upon
which he is nov engaged. Whether tie
work is to be historical or exactly what
line he will pursue is not known, but
1t is said he has a plan of new work
drafted and expects to enter upon it in
short time.
As general Wallace has not written of
American life, but has confined MS la
bors to other fields, there is consider
able interest in his proposed undertake
ing The fact that he was general in
the army and had some experiences of
which he often speaks with much en-
thusiasm has led to a belief that his
new work will in some way be connect
ed with the Civil war.

of an Industrial college located near Sa-.

negroes in the south. He advocated
national aid in their education, saying
he did not consider the southern states
financially able to give the necessary
assistance. He also favored separate ag-
ricuitural stations for negroes. Major

burden TO his white neighbors. Negroes
own moro than million acres of farm

Hcolored man a mule and forty acres of
land, instead of comforting the ballot

Case and Commet.
A story is also told Of an old At
torney In southern Illinois during
the war time. who, when all the
younger Law ers were at the front,
was engaged one day an old planter
to draw some sfiidavits Of loyalty
by which to obtain the release Of
cotton that al l,een seized for con-
tscation. The old attorney drew the
affidavits. and the planter succeeded
In getting his cotton, whereupon,
with great satisfaction, he told the
attorney to meet him on the ievee
the next morning at 9 o'clock and
he would pay him. The attorney,
who was sadly I'm need Of funds,
lay awake all night trying to decide
what charge he should make, wond-
ering if $50 would be too much,
and If possible 500 would be will
ingly paid by the old planter, who
succeeded in getting very valuable
cotton by his aid. With feverish
head and parched lips the old man
went down to the levee st the ap-
pointed time and met the planter,
not yet able to decide what charge
he should make. Without asking
him for his bill the old planter said,
"Sit down, sah," and as he took out
a huge roll ofsbills, added, "Now,
sab, I'll just count out about what /
think, sab, would be a fair amount,
sab, and then, sab, I'll see what
you have to say about it, sah.''
Then, picking off $500 bill from
the roll, the planter laid 1t his knee
and addei another and another and
another until there were Ave OF
them, and looking up, said, Snow,
sab, that is about what l thought
was right, sab, and what have you
to say about it, sah?" The old at
torney, burs ing with suppressed
emotion as he saw the bills laid out
nevertheless struggled to be equal tC
the occasion. He strove to speak,
but did SO with difficulty. At last
his lips parted and he said with
dignity, "Well, 1 think perhaps you
had better make 1t another Ave."
