HERE AND THERE.

The vertical system of handwriting
has been abandoned in the New York
schools. Very likely the system is too
slow for this rapid age; but if it should
be generally and permanently given up,
there will come day when the survivors
of the present younger generation, who
have learned to write during the past
few years, will be referred to as of the
"old school, of writer's. And samples
of their handwriting will be sought for
as restful GASES in the midst of desert
of illegibility.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1901-05-28

There has been handed to the Demo-
crat by friend, with a request for pub
LEGATION, copy of an appeal issued by a
Grand Army post in Topeka, Kan, for a
more suitable observance of Memorial
Day. The article is little long and re-
ceived too late to use in full; but the ap-
peal which it makes is one which the
public should heed. For that one day
in the year we can afford to suspend the
sports, the revelry, the noisy demonstra-
tions with which it is sometimes made a
festival day, and instead make it day
sacred to its purpose, as Sunday is held
sacred even yet in most of New England.
1t is memorial day, and it is right that
we should observe it as such, in form
and in spirit.

1t is reported that the Cunard line is
to install system of wireless telegraphy
by means of which its steamers may be
reported within fifteen hours of their
destination. If this is really possible,
in the present condition of things, we
may reasonably look for time, in the
near future, when, by means of few
floating intermediate stations, the trans
atlantic steamers will be kept in tele-
graphic communication with the shore
throughout the entire voyage. Then
the passengers, on rising in the morning,
viii find copy of the ships daily paper
at the cabin doors, with the condensed
news of the preceding day all over the
world; the crowd will hang around the
bulletin board to watch the progress of
a national convention with even more
zeal than if at home; and j. Pierpont
Morgan can run the universe from his
cabin in an ocean greyhound with the
same ease that he does now at his desk
in Wall Street, or in one of the European
capitals.

NAY CONF ID TWIN C|IES.
MRS. NATION LIKELY TO INCLUDE
THEM IN HER TIN
ERARY
SAYS SHE'S IN LORDS HANDS
Chief O'COnnOr VIII Guarantee Her
Protection if She Comes, but
She Must Leave Her
AK Behind.
SAYS SHE'S IN LORDS HANDS

Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Kansas ''jOint
smasher," is credited with having designs
on St. Paul and Minneapolis An East
Seventh street saloonkeeper, who, for OBJ
vious reasons, is desrious of keeping
clear of any entangling alliances, is au-
thority for the statement, he claiming
to be in receipt of a communication from
Mrs. Nations manager VINO says st.
Paul is included in his wards initerary.
The local W. c. T. u is somewhat
divided upon the advisability of Mrs. Ma
tons presence in ST. Paul because of
the probable disastrous aftermath that
might ensue, though they all agree that
an insight into many Joints the pub
lie does not now enjoy would probably
be gained by her presence. At Chicago
Mrs. Nations visit to that city of herald
ed vice and corruption failed to receive
the recognition expected, and a trip to
st. Paul may be attended with the same
freezing results.
Chief O'COnnor is credited with saying
that Mrs. Nation, if she visits st. Paul,
will be guaranteed protection, but he will
positively not allow any Joint smash
Ing, even If he has to call out reserves.
Hatchets will be barred, and all who use
them will taste of the rigors of Hotel de
O'Connor.
If Mrs. Nation should carry out her
intended visit to st. Paul the programme
would probably include big rally at the
auditorium, the organization of a Mrs
Nation club and a, visit to the Joints
for moral persuasion purposes. She says
the Lord has SO far not called upon her
to smash "joints" outside of Kansas, and
she will only do what the Lord says.
In the meantime saloon proprietors will
be on the anxious seat until the rumor of
her coming is either settled by den al or
confirmation.
