Attorney General Sheets has given
an opinion to the effect that no matter
how greatly the tax valuations may be
reduced in the several counties of the
State by the State Board of Equaliza
ton, the aggregate valuation of the
State must not be reduced under the
law authorizing such revision. Under
this opinion, if held valid, the Board
would be forced to make a horizontal
addition to the taxable values of all
counties, as in individual cases millions
have been taken from the valuation,
while only thousands have been added.
There is a strong belief that the State
Board will ignore the opinion of the
Attorney General in which case the
Supreme Court would be called upon TO
decide the matter.

Of the 2l9 prisoners paroled from the
state penitentiary during the past two
years, only 10 broke their paroles, and
OF these is were returned to prison.

cases. sSs ~ - 81. =, - 4
These facts are made public through

during the past two years, advocates
the indeterminate sentence, or . sys-
tenn OF parole Of prisoners until such
time as they can prove their worthi-
ness to be fully discharged. The re-
port says that many men were released
who were unfit to be at large, and yet
under the present system these men
arc released after certain period, as
we'll as those practically free from
criminal tendencies. r.
Mr.. Merrill complains that: insanity
is greatly on the increase among the
men employed in the, shoe and twine

ideal employment would be such as

be Impossible. He urges the legisla-
ture to make better provision for the

THE SCHOOL OF LIFE,
Unique Institution Founded By Dr..
Hiram W. Thomas.
Now the Venerable Pastor q the
Peoples Church at Chicago Pre-
p poses to Help and UD-

Especial Chicago Letter. ]

Especial Chicago letter.
THE spirit Of helpfulness was
never so thoroughly awakened
as at the present day when
thousands of men and women, with
''love Of the neighbor" melting them,
are systematically working together
to relieve want and suffering./ The
resulting benefits are mutual, as is
evidenced in many ways. In Chicago
the work Of the charitable societies
has been brought into such order that
NO one. who knows where to apply
need suffer for food or clothing. In
every possible manner needy appli-
cants are aided towards sef-help by
some Of the branches of the Bureau
of Associated Charities in the Unity
building. And it is not the wants of
the body alone that are being re-
lieved in this great Office structure,
but movement is now in operation
whereby the social, mental and spir-
-itual needs Of all, rich and poor alike,
may be satisfied.
This "School of Life" is the outcome
Of many years of thought and study
on the part of DIR. H. w. Thomas, of
tho Peoples church, which has been,
for the last 20 years, a church home
for strangers in Chicago, as well as of
large regular congregation devoted
ly attached to the pastor. AZ the
years have gone by it has grown more
and more evident TO this lover of
men that something more was needed
than . church home on Sundays. On
the other six days people need a Gen.
ter where all may find spiritual and
moral help, sympathy and encourage
ment. The enterprise has received a
cordial backing by members of the
Peoples church, who desire to extend
it's activities along lines not ordinar-
lily reached by church methods. It
will be open on all week days from
nine a. m. to four p. m. and in the
evenings: From the contemplated
scope of the school its effects promise
to become more extended than those
of any philanthropic enterprise here
tofore projected. The benefits are
expected to be cooperative, for every
phase of life is to be touched upon az
it presents itself.
Sermons will be given in the Peo-
pies church. recapitulating different

REV. H. w. THOMAS, D. D.

Incidents of the life of the last hun
dred years. DR.. Thomas will speak on
the intellectual and Social" the
moral and Religious and nineteen
Christian Centuries" Mrs. Vandalia
Varnum Thomas, his gifted wife and
able assistant, will lecture on the
'Historic Survey of the Century," In
discussing the material triumphs of
the old century DR.. Thomas quoted
Herbert Spencer and spoke of the
world as being ruled by the dead.
Not SO much by the personalities of
those who lived on the physical plane
before us, as the. conditions they
created before we were born. The in
volved street plan, for which one of
our eastern cities is noted, causes the
feet of the Bostonians to tread the
line of the cow-paths formed by the
herd boys of 200 years ago. And it is
not alone in material things that our
way is, to q great extent, marked out
for us, but mental and spiritual en-
vironment form us to great extent.
The most ancient employed for their
use the elements-earth, air, water
and fire. We have nothing new, in
reality. We have learned new appli-
cations of natural forces and all these
things affect life. The world is edu-
eating itself gradually, as it's needs
develop, for a premature knowledge
would have been dangerous in the
hands of the race. In the early DAYS
people travelled in litters borne by
slaves, or walked, according to their
status in the community. Next, ami
mails were taught to minister to mans
wants in this direction; then came
the railroad, and when condensed air
and the heat of the sun can be util-
lied as forces our present methods of
travel will seem slow and cumber-
some. Nothing widens life like view
ing other countries and peoples. Our
present mail system, made possible
by the increased carrying facilities,
the telegraph and the telephone, all
place us in position where it is al
most impossible for us to imagine the
restricted conditions under which our
ancestors existed and throve. The
narro" lie OF the past impressed it,
self on the intellectual and spiritual
nature.
In Virginia, in his youthful days,
-Dr. Thomas walked three miles to
school, night and morning, and
worked his board, to study under a
teacher "who knew no more than did,
and I knew nothing; but it was 60
ing to school," No one was out of
work in those days, for there was
comparatively little machinery. The
price of calico was 12H cents per
yard, and man in day could earn
four yards. Now all that is changed,
but there is great room for improve
ment and the work is progressing
more rapidly than ever before. Ma
ture is giving up her secrets, the
spirit Of good will is growing and a
higher spiritual development is one
Of the most marked signs of the times.
The bad sanitary conditions in our
cities is only 50 by contrast with the
comforts and Injuries Of the well-to-
do. In the worst districts in Chi

and three unsheathed, but all will
have the same general dimensions
5o2 feet in length and about 70 feet
in width. Trial displacement is given
as Il, 500 tons; mean draft at trial dis
placement, "a feet 6 inches; extreme
draft, full load, 26 feet inches;
maximum indicated horse power,
$4,000; total coal bunker capacity,
1000 tons; speed not less than %
knots. The armament is to consist
of four 45-caliber s-inch guns; IA
5o-caliber 6-inch guns; 1s 50-caliber
3-inch rapid-fire guns, and 80
smaller guns of various descriptions.
Each of the cruisers will be fitted
as flagship and will have accommo-
dations for s22 officers and men.
An English writer has called. the
armored cruisers the eyes and ears of
the fleet. The ships planned by Ad-
miral Hichborn will not only be eyes
and ears, but fists as we'll. They are
as effectively protected as any battle
ship afloat and their great speed will
give them advantages not possessed
by the more heavily armed and slower
ships of the first class.
1t is expected that the II warships
will be ready for service -within three
years, or just in time to afford pro-
lection to our budding merchant ma
rine. The coming 36 months, it is
predicted, will witness a remarkable
revival in American ship building, and
optimistic statesmen predict that ere
long American merchandise will be
carried to every port in American
bottoms. The United States now
pays enormous sums every year to
British, German and French steam
ship companies for carrying the prod
ucts OF its farms and looms to Europe,
Asia and Africa-a tax paid to for.
eigners by the producer. If this
money could be kept at home it would
add immensely to the national wealth.
One thing alone puzzles the heads
OF the navy in this hour of gladstone
expectation, and that is how to get
officers and men to man the new YES
sells. 1t has been suggested that the
congress provide for additional cadet.

conducted. Special attention will be
given to the study of sociology and
unusually good opportunities are pre-
senting themselves for that end. The
cases needing material help will be
directed to the proper branches of the
associated charities. A poor widow,
likely to lose her mortgaged home,
will be provided with free legal ad-
vice and such assistance as is pos
sible. There will be class in probate
law, to which tuition fee will be
charged, for the benefit of women
left with estates, that they need not
be entirely at the mercy of sometimes
unscrupulous lawyers, with no choice
but to follow their advice in all mat
tiers pertaining to settlements, sign
ing of papers and investments. These
require aid as well as some of their
less prosperous sisters, and being able
to pay for instruction, will be glad to
avail themselves of the privileges of
this class. What a discussion such a
proposition would have provoked 100
years ago!
AT, noon, on every week day, ad.
dresses will be delivered on various
subjects. DR.. Thomas lectures every
Monday, on which day, with Mrs.
Thomas, he is at the rooms, GIL and
613 Unity building, from ten o'clock
until one.
On Tuesday of recent week Dr..
Bland gave "Reminiscences of Wen<
dell Phillips" On Wednesday, j. B.
Smiley spoke on ''sociology." On
Thursday, Mrs. La Fevre lectured on
''The Beautiful in the Common"
There is some programme for every
evening. Mrs. Sherwood is to give
some of her charming art talks. The
"New Uses of Music" will be ex.

on intellectual life, on literature and
philosophy. A class is studying EN-.
erson. Lectures are to be delivered
on homes, schools and the duties OF
mothers.
As everything relates to life in one
way or another, many unlooked-foH

sells at their disposal.
Since the close of the Spanish war
events have so shaped themselves that
the United States. for more than a
century an isolated nation. has sud-
denly evolved into a world power,
with interests, political and CONNER
cial, to defend III every portion of the
globe. The president and his cabinet,
although more than ever disposed to
maintain friendly relations with the
other powers, realized that the cause
of peace 10 served best by being pre-
pared for war, and impressed upon
the congress the necessity of
strengthening the navy, and both
house and senate responded literally
to the wishes of the executive. From
time to time appropriations were
made for the building of powerful
warships, but the most important
contract, involving an expenditure of
$50, ,OOO, 900, is now about to be let. It
calls for the immediate construction
of five battleships and six armored
cruisers, comprising a tonnage more
than the tonnage of the entire navy
of the United States ten years ago,
and the number of vessels concerned
is greater than the number of battle
ships and armored cruisers now in
the service.
In the course Of conversation with
naval officer it was learned that the
designs for the new vessels, which
will 60 far toward giving the United
States supremacy at sea, were
planned in every detail by Admiral
Hichborn. chief Of the bureau of naval
construction and repairs, and his as
sociates and assistants, all of them
members of the naval service. The
= designs call for three sheathed and
coppered battleships carrying super
imposed turrets, and two unsheathed
battleships with quadrilateral ar
rangement of eight-inch turrets, both
classes to have a speed of not less
than 10 knots. The three-sheathed
vessels will be known as the Pennsvl-
vania, Georgia and New Jersey; the
two unsheathed ships will be called
