the Appietons. | read with deep in

Maine and the fight at Santiago, when

Schley, which made ne hot and fati-

that whole controversy was settled
and partially harmoniZed, but this will
cause it 70 break out q fresh, for The
Sun l2yishly Endorses all that Maclay
writes. He tells what Admiral Philip
told him about SchIey's. disgracefui
conduct lPhiIip is dead n0w), and that
he actually turned tail and ran AVA

NOTES AND CONTENT.

Lord Kinnaird, now in this country
attending the Young Mems Christian
Association celebration in Boston. has
extreme repugnance to notorlety anu
for that reason his name hardly APP
peared in connection with the eXer-
cises Only on rare occasions can he
be prevailed upon to speak in public,
though he and his sister, Gertrude
kinnaird. are familiar figures at
philanthropic and religious gatherings
in Great Britain.
At the last meeting of the Edin-
burgh school board complaint was
made of the partisan character OF
some OF the teaching found in school
books. The Rev. Father Stuart. in
moving that il be RENTED to COM
mittee to arrange a better method o.
securing books for the schools, re-
marked that a number OF the books
were an offence to history. Although
not made in Germany they were made
out of Scotland and one result OF the
strong gloss of English authorship
would be found in the fact that Queen
Elizabeth was painted as a saint AMI
Mary Queen of Scots as the greatest

A BRIToN's IDEA OF FREEDOM.
II Was to Roll Himself on the White
House Lawn, and He Did il.

who went around the city with me
dozen years ago" said man who had
Just returned from the Inauguration
ceremonies. We saw everything that
there was to be seen. He was pleased
with everything, and he said so; but
the thing that impressed hirn most was
the lack of formality and the absence
of guards.
HE never tired talking OF this and
comparing the simplicity Of the ar
rangements in Washington with the
way the rulers Of Europe are guarded.
Particularly he was il pressed by the
fact that any one who wished to was
allowed to go into the White House
grounds, and wander around without
showing any passes or credentials OF
any kind.
We'll, one day we were wandering
around and we went up past the White
House. The Englishman stopped and
watched the stream of men and wo-
men going into the grounds.
by Jove.' he said, 1t is wonderful.
and no mistake. Why. they let you
do just as you please. Do you know,
l think that if fellow wanted to he
could go il there and roll over on tho
lawn and there wouldn't be a person
who would think Of speaking TO him
about It. OF course no one would
speak to him about It, said. What's
more, If you want to do it I'll stay
here and watch you, and if any one
does say anything about it III help you
lick him
Twill your he said.
"T mean it, said.
"IIe looked at ne for minute, and
then he walked into the White House
grounds There was a crowd there
but no one paid the least attention
to him. He went out on the lawn,
right in front of the main entrance
to the building, and lay down fat on
his back. Then he rolled over three
times, slowly and deliberately. Then
he got up and walked out Of the
grounds, as happy as though he had
found $40.
mo one looked at him, and no one
spoke to him; to roll over on the
White House lawn might have been
TIE proper thing to do SO far as the
attention that it attracted went. The
lInglishman said that If he had acted
That way in any of the capitals on the

solved the world-0ld problem of how to
secure reasonable quiet on the part of

ing the fOrenoons. just above hin. lives
a piano, and the woman who works it.
This woman has husband who gets his
best sleep between 4 and 7 o'clock in
the morning. The night worker who
lives below gets home about i o'clock
in the morning, The piano used to be-
gin its days work about 9 in the fore
noon, and when it struck up, sleep fled
the eyelids of the night worker.
He demonstrated without avail. Then
he tapped the electric wires<of the door
bell OF the fat where the piano lived,
and as he is a gooG amateur electrician,
he did it in such a way that it could
not be easily detected Then when he
went home mornings at about o'clock
he connected his movable battery and
started his neighbours bell agoing, and
went peacefully and righteously to sleep.
his thing went on for several days, the
piano keeping the night worker awake
after clock, and the bell waking the
owner of sle piano at o'clock sharp
every morning. till last Monday when
the owner OF the piano capitulated. and
agreed that il the door bell were stopped.
he would promise that the piano would
not be started till afternoon
