Training School to Make Crippled Pupils
seif-supporting.
With the new year the pupils Of
the public school for crippled children.
conducted by Mrs. Emma +. Haskell in
Illinois hall, will begin a novel under
taking, says the Chicago News. A
training school will be established with
the hope that some of the pupils may
be made self-supporting. They appear
almost helpless so far as useful work
is concerned, but Mrs. Haskell says
they are not. Many of them can work
with their hands, and are anxious to
learn. The boy who has lest both
legs has an ambition to become car
penter. This appears rather impos-
sible, and his ambitions will be turned
in the direction of wood carving. The
girls will be taught needlework and
similar occupations. They are almost
all too helpless to be taught domestic
science. Supt. Cooley will make a rec
ommendation to the board Of education
at its next meeting that materials and
equipment for the school is provided.
Mrs. Haskell will have charge Of the
classes, leaving the general work Ct
instruction to her assistants. Truant
officers of the board of education are
to make a canvass Of the city for the
purpose Of ascertaining the number OF
crippled and manned children who
would be able to attend school IL they
were furnished with transportation
Secretary Larson was refused his pay
yesterday by the board of education.
President Harris, who blamed City
Controller Kerfoot for not honoring
Mr.. Larson's signature week ago, re-
fused yesterday to issue a voucher for
his salary in the new position. Mr.
Larson asked for voucher for his
salary at the rate of $4,000 a year for
the part OF December he served In the
office. President Harris said he had
been paid his former salary of $3.50 a
month, and could not be paid the sal
airy of secretary until the board voted
it. A statement was furnished Presf-
dent Harris by Auditor Custer yester-
day that shows that the revenue of the
board of education for educational pur-
poses will be s235.s53 less than the
appropriations called for.

Churches With
Bio Incomes

The one church in America which
has the largest annual income and ex-
penditure is unquestionably st. Bar
tholomew's Episcopal, of New York.
Its income last year-that is, the
money value which it represents-was
$20S,000. This is not an exceptional
year and does not include a big gift
of 100000 made this year for its elm
ic now building. Its pew rentals alone
amount to above $4,000 yeaS. The
sum named includes what it gives to
missions, and also the expenditure
connected with its great parish house
in Forty-second street. A dozen other
Episcopal churches in New York and
Philadelphia have incomes exceeding
100000 a year. The Presbyterian
church having the largest income in
America, is the Brick church. New
York, which took in $4,000 last year,
a good deal more than half of which
went to missions. The largest Baptist
church in America is the Fifth Ave-
nue., New York, to which John d.
Rockefeller belongs. and through
which his gifts, or most of them, go.

The following products of British

into tho Pail Mall Gazette. Their
Scheherazade not being Of the sex Of
the fair prevaricator OF Arabian

audit the tales. This was done by a
marine officer-aboard the ship at the

rectness. There was once a chief en-
gineer, a patient man who had spent
so many nights sitting by the bedside
OF an expiring boiler, which never ex-
pired, but kept on bursting blood yes
sells and getting a death rattle In its
thousand threats, that he had become
reconciled to knowing that he would
be called upon to stop leaks at all
hours Of the day and night for the rest
OF his natural life. His only envy was
the man who could sleep undisturbed
through the whole night. This man
was Bulstrode, chief engineer OF an
other ship. One night the assistant
engineer sent a man up to Bulstrode
to report the gradual disappearance of
the vacuum in the air pumps. knocking
at the chiefs door, the man sang out.
Please. sir, the vacuum is decreasing"
The answer came back in drowsy
roice: "All right Report to me II It
gets lower" Half an hour later the
man again raped at the door. "The

TRICK OF VOICE.
How One Lawyer Keeps the Judge From
Sleeping.

Sleeping.
There is said to be lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses a trick of the
voice to which certain measure OF his
success in United States Supreme court
practice is due. The trick consists in
waking Judge. Whether 1t Is a com.
mon practice for the high dignitaries
of the federal supreme bench to in.
dulge in a nap in the course Of a long
and tedious argument, such happen.
ings are not unknown, and 1t is well
for an able logician of the bar to be
prepared for 1t. The trick OF waking a
sleepy judge would seem to be some
thing In the nature of slamming a law
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current OF an
electric battery. But the trick is ex-
planned as purely a matter of sound
involved in the skillful control Of the
voice. 1t is said that barrister prac-
ticed In the art and rhetoric, OF address
ing the bench can gather all the waves
of sound from his throat into focus
and deposit 1t in the orifce Of the
judges ear with the general effect Of a
bomb. The trick. however 1t is ac-
complished, is said to have been worked
repeatedly with success on the late
Judge McKennan. whose habit OF going
to sleep on the bench was once a no
torious subject OF comment in the liti-
cation over the Berliner telephone pat
ents. This queer trick Of the voice,
while It is said to be the peculiar prop
erty OF one celebrated lawyer. is prob
ably attempted often with varying sue

THE Amy. BILL is. FORCED
Decisive Action Taken By the
House..
WILD SCENES OF DISORDER
fine Bill rs Passed Carries the Philippine
Amendment Extending the President's
Powers In the Archipelago, and Also
the Cuban Amendment.

Washington. d. c.. March 4.-The
army appropriation bill passed the
house amid scenes of excitement. It
now goes to the president for his sig
nature. The bill carries the Philip
pine amendment extending the presi-
dents powers in the archipelago and
also the Cuban amendment specifying
the conditions under which the Ameri-
can army will be withdrawn from that
island. The four hours during which
the bill was under consideration in the
house were the most exciting of the
session. The house frequently got
beyond the control Of the speaker, who
had to threaten the appearance Of the
sergeant-at-arms with his silver mace
unless order was restored. Vociferous
applause, hisseA and cat-calls, whist
ling, laughter and pounding upon desks
greatly amused the spectators in the
gallery. All dignity and order dis
appeared. Members addressing the
house could not make themselves heard
because OF the confusion, personal en-
counters between members were
threatened, and the proceedings re-
minded many Of political conventions
and other large gatherings where dis
cipline Is not strictly enforced.
Four Republicans Voted Nay.
The bill was passed by a vote Of 159
yeas to l34 nays-a strict party vote,
with the exception of Mccall MASS },
Loud (Cal), Driscoll IN. ", and
Mann (Ill). who voted with the Demo-
Gratis. Cooper (Wis) answered present
and was not paired.
Labor and Railroad Interests.
The senate committee on interstate
commerce, and incidentally Senator
Cullom, its chairman, came in for caus-
tic comment today because of its fail
ure to secure action upon important
bills urged by labor and Industrial Or
CARNATIONS, but opposed by railroad
interests. The charge was made that
the railroads dominated the committee
and effectively choked off all legisla-
ton they did not approve. The issue
was raised over the bill to compel rail-
roads to report accidents to the inter-
state commerce commission, and Sena-
tors Lodge, Hoar, Chandler and others
were unsparing in their denunciatiou
OF the action of the committee. Mr..
Cullom presented strong defense and

Il am of the opinion that this man

Hotel on the night Of August Is, 1898,
the date she was murdered. l do not
want to be understood as saying that
this man killed Dolly Reynolds. but
If he were to come to the front he
could clear DR.. Kennedy of the charge
under which he now rests"
The attorney further said he had
informed District Attorney Philbin
OF the above fact and had furnished
Mr.. Philbin with the mans name, ask
ing him to send for him. He added
that Mr.. Philbin told him that he did
not want to interfere, since he had

The SIX Ambassadors from Europe Do

che question Of ambassadorial proceed
ence is overshadowing the inaugural
ceremony at the capitol. Unless the
justices OF the Supreme court of the

position after the ambassadors, in
stead OF before them, the representa-
tives OF the sovereigns OF Europe will
be conspicuous by their absence. The
arrangement made by the inaugural
committee Ct the senate contemplate
the seating Of the justices first, then
the ambassadors, and after the latter
the foreign ministers. There are six
ambassadors-Lord Pauncefcte, am
bassador Of Great Britain; Baron de
Fava, ambassador of Italy; Herr Won
Holleben. ambassador of Germany; M.
Jules Cambon. ambassador of France:
Count Cassini, ambassador of Russia.
and Senior Don Manuel de Aspiroz.
ambassador of Mexico. None of these
diplomats is urging that he be given
precedence because of any petty de-
sire for a conspicuous position. Their
claim is based upon the fact that they
represent the persons of their soyer-
eigns, and as such are entitled to fol-
low Immediately after the presidents

the claim has been advanced and sue
