Adelbert 5. Hay, who was killed at
Yale college last week. was the eldest
o Of the secretary Of state and was
born while the latter was living in
Cleveland, o., about twenty-five years
ago. His second name is Stone, which
he bears In memory of the late Amasa
Stone. his maternal grand sire. He was
educated in private schools Of Cleve-
land and prepared at st. Paul's Acad-
envy In Concord, N. H., for Yale. At
the university he was a popular schol-
ar. for, though outwardly reserved in
manner, he was capable of warm and
~steadfast friendships, and was of
charming manners. At Yale Adelbert

A Manila Mint Discussed.

A prominent government official In
discussing the proposition for the es-
Establishment of a mint at Manila said
recently:
IL have heard nothing about the
matter since the adjournment OF Con-
gress. but / know that 1t is receiving
the attention OF the war department,
which Is obtaining all the information
possible on the subject. Army officers
seem to favor the establishment OF a
mint at Manila and an effort to SUBJ
stitute American coinage for the Mexi-
can now in general use, There is con-
siderable opposition. however, as 1t Is
certain that to attempt to push the
American dollar and redeem 1t In gold
would precipitate commercial disturb
ances that might result in disaster.

inclined to think that this plan will
not be adopted"

A comprehensive plan for the work
OF the naval war college during the
summer months Is being considered by
the officials Of the navy department.
The plan contemplated entails the dis

them, OF considerable interest, con-
Germs the defense Of the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts Of this country through
the use Of the Nicaragua canal, which,
for the purpose Of the problem, is to
be supposed to be in existence. An
other problem relates to the defense of
the coasts with the Straits Of Magellan
as the connecting link between the At

problem concerns operations of an

A weak point in the graded school
system is that clever pupils are held
back to the general level OF the class,
or dull pupils are discouraged and
crushed by the advancement OF their
mates. The board OF education in Ba-
tavia, New York, seems to have
remedied this difficulty by providing
larger grade-rooms in which twice the
usual number OF children can be as
sembled under two teachers, one teach
er to conduct the classes and the
other to give all her time to helping
the slower scholars. 1.-THE effect OF the
change was instantaneous" writes the
president Of the board, "in putting
