Teachers in a Michigan School Allow
 Studies to be Ignored.

A member of last springs graduating class of the State Normal is this year in a small town in the upper Michigan pen- ihsula spending eight hours q day as a private tutor to 14-y ,ar-old boy who. al- though he was last year in the eighth grade of a public school. cannot read words of two syilablss and Is no less ig- norapt in other branches
 The boy is the son of a wealthy lum- herman. and as he is strongly averse to study of any description has been allowed by his teachers to pass from one grade to another without doing any of the re- quired work. The father practically owns the town and the teachers feared to an- tagonize him through his son, so permit ted the boy to spend his time in idleness of the state of affairs until one day this summer he asked the boy to read before company when. by discovering his la- mentable ignorance in this line, he was education.

 Johnson was arrested on the Sth of No vernber, charged with being drunk and carrying a concealed pistol. He plead guilty to being drunk and the other case was passed until yesterday. Johnson was formerly employed as deputy sheriff at Opelika and was in the habit of carrying a pistol. but since his official duties had expired he had ceased carrying weapons under the law.
 On the sth of November Johnson and d man named Majors were together. The evidence at the trial showed that Majors was too drunk to take care of himself and Johnson took his pistol away from him for fear he would do harm. He had started hCme with Majors when both men were arrested.
 Johnson produced many witnesses, in- eluding the Sheriff of Lee County, who testified as to his good character. He had been endorsed for official position by many of the most prominent citizens of Lee County. He also had several letters from chiefs of police in this State certifying as to his character. Johnson m the stand testified that he had the pistol in his pocket,
 Judge Arlington said that while it may be a case for executive clemency the evidence showed that the pistol was con cealed and he would have to impose the regulation fine of s100.

GIRL WATERS ON CARS.
Objection to the Plans of the Denver
 and Rio Grande.

Chicago Telegram to The New fork
 Times.
 The plan of T. R. Barnes, superin- tendent of the Denver and Rio 0rande Railway dining car service. which con- templates the employment of pretty girls as waitresses, has been unproductive Of much enthusiasm among Chicago rail- road men who have heard of it. The local experts say the scheme will not do. and they cite many reasons therefor. few of which may be mentioned
 "In the first place. said one superin- tendent, there would be no place for women to sleep on the dining-car ur- less they rough it, as the men do. Then. again, the work of waiter on Vest ern railroad dining car consists princi- pally in the arduous occupation of ex- tracting corks from the necks of bottles. a species of service which would be neither suitable nor congenial for prop erly reared young women. The scheme will never do.'
 Mir. Barnes has this to say in behalf of his plan; "Giris are heater. cleaner and quicker than men in dining-car ser vice. shall employ them first in Col orado to see how the public takes it, and if 1t be satisfactory I may intro duce the plan on the Missouri Pacific"

PLAGUE AT CoNsTANTTNoPLE Sultan Turns Down Plans for the
 Eradication of the Disease.

The United States Sanitary Commis- sioner at Constantinople has made a re- port on the plague in that city. which he says has been prevalent since last April. He reports that twenty cases have oc' cured, although the local authorities. fol- lowing the example of the Sultan, have shown much willingness in taking neces- sary preventive steps He says the dis ease has been of a mild type as com- pared with the epidemic in China and In dia. where the plague death rate reaches 30 Ter cent. and more. The Sultan has ap- pointed a Sanitary Commission of experts, whose instructions immediately on the manifestation of bubonic plague are to take all necessary preventive steps with out being obliged to report to any official authority whatever. He arraigns the pre- lecture dc la vile for carelessness in many steps. including establishment of hospitals. Tho Ottoman government, be- cause the result could rot be obtained in ten years, has not accepted the commits sioner's proposal to get rid of the plague by opening large streets abutting the back to back houses and improving the sewer system.

CASES DISMISSED.

District Attorney Heese Asked Judge
 Jones to Free Coffee County Men.
 In the United States District Court yes terday morning the District Attorney. Hen. Warren s. Reese, asked for the dis. . nissal of several cases of illicit distillIng from Coffee County.

Reese said that although these cases came from different sections of the Countv the witnesses had been Identical in each of them; that they had sworn to almost identcally the same things and that he felt free to say that he did not believe the witnesses had sworn to the truth. Rather than take the chance of convicting men who might be innocent he asked that the cases be dismissed.
 Judge Jones ordered the cases dismissed upon the application of the District Att torney.

tumn to winter nearly 10 times. when
at last one day old Berrendo and Girls
tino, his neighbor, hit upon merry

more wrangling. The field over which
the water flowed was to be Liana's

Already one doctor in every twenty-five

the college professors chairs are now
filled by women. while one Journalist out

the new order Of society which puts wo-
man so largely at the helm of the worlds
affairs. This, however, is not the only
problem to be solved When the world
becomes full Of women doctors and law
yers and professors, somebody must pro-

cured and taught-else the bachelors will
ultimately fnd themselves lpaded with
empty professions.
