day afternoon. Eye witnesses of the
accident say that the boiler and much
of the upper works Of the boat were
hurled high in the air. Flames at
once burst fortn from amidships,
dividing the passengers on the after
decks from those on the forward
decks. The number Of passengers is
estimated TO have been about 100.
Which Boat Will Defend the Cup?
A great deal Of interest attaches to
the trial races between Columbia and
Constitution that will determine
which yacht will defend the America
cup. They began Saturday. OF the
sixteen races thus far sailed between
the two, each yacht has won eight.
They seem to be as nearly matched as
is possible for two boats to be. Il is
a disappointment that the new boat
has not proven herself faster than the
old defender, but the latter is thought
to be much faster than she was two
years ago. The Shamrock has begun
her trial work and shows up well.
The opinion is general that the British
boat stands good chance for the cup.

training which they receive in early
life.
The schools are dependent on the
people for their maintenance and
whether they are to improve or de-
teriorate during the coming years
depends largely on the understand
ing which the parents gain Of the
work now being done. The teachers
are giving their best energies to the
moral and intellectual development
of your children, but remember that
you should not leave this great
responsibility to them alone, but
cooperate with them in every way
possible, and, above all, give them
the encouragement which they are
sure to derive from your occasional
presence in the schoolroom.

SUGGESTIONS TO PARENTS.

The Ladies' Home Journal very
truthfully asserts that 'the education
of child cannot be shifted to the
shoulders of teacher or educator. The
responsibility rests, first and foremost,
with the parents" The month of
September marks the opening of an
other school year and this IS the time
for theEparents to ask themselves if
they have manifested sufficient inter-
est in the school life of their children
in the past, and, if not, resolve to take
more active. interest in the future.
1t is frequent complaint of teach
ers at educational meetings that only
a small per cent. of the parents en-
courage the teachers by their occa-
sional presence in the schoolroom.
This should not be the case. An occa
sional visit from the parents gives
both teacher and pupils great encour-
agement. A certain teacher states
that in fifteen minutes conversation
with the mother of one of her pupils
she gained an insight into the boys
character which twas later of inesti-
mable value to her in governing the
boy. The teacher has no knowledge
of the character of her various pupils
or of the methods by which they are
governed at home and a more init
mate acquaintance with the parents
will oftentimes afford her All oppor-
tunity to gain the knowledge which
she desires and enable her to better
understand the nature of the children.
During the past few years rapid ad-
vance has been made along education
al lines and many people are totally
unfamiliar with the methods employed
in the school work at the present time,
and unfavorable comments are made
on the modern methods simply be-
cause they are not understood. This
may be remedied by the parents Wis
iting the schoolroom often and famil-
iarizing themselves with the progress
which has been and is being made.
1t may cost little time and extra eff
fort to pass an hour in the school
room occasionally but it will be worth
while to do so.
The boys and girls of o-day are to
be the men and women of the future
and great responsibilities will rest
upon them. The manner in which
they discharge these responsibilities
will be determined largely by the

General News Items.
Beers Will Fight On.

President Kruger says the Beers
will pay no attention to Kitchener's
latest proclamation respecting de-
portation, and other Boer leaders in
the field have issued counter proc
lamations, threatening to hold British
prisoners as hostages, if Kitchener
attempts to carry out his plans.
Three British officers and sixty five
men were captured by a superior
Boer force in Orange River Colony.
Department May Call Halt.
Of the eight persons bitten by in
fected mosquitoes in connection with
the experiments conducted by the
yellow fever board during the last
three weeks, three have died.
Alarmed by the three deaths that
have occurred, officials of the war de-
partment desire the yellow fever ex-
periments at Havana discontinued by
DIR. Caldas and the yellow fever board,
which consists of three surgeons of
the United States army.
Trouble Between Turkey and France.
Diplomatic relations between Tur-
key and France have been broken
off. The French minister, M. Con-
stans, has left Constantinoplea and the
Turkish minister to France will be
notified that his presence in Paris is
no longer desired. The trouble arises
over claims aggregating twelve mil
lion francs due French citizens from
the sultan's treasury. The sultan had
promised that they should be paid on
a certain day, and then broke his
promise. 1t is likely that an agree
ment will shortly be reached.

The inevitable defeat of the labor
union by the great steel trust will give
organized labor a blow which will be
felt throughout the country. How
ever the contest was brought on by
the union whose demands were such
that they expected the company
would not concede them without a
fight but they hoped to win because
of the effect of a strike on
the company's stock. Labor unions
when properly conducted may be of
benefit to the workmen but whenever
strike is ordered while there may be
2 great financial loss to the employer,
it is the members of the union who
must suffer to the greatest extent.
There are few reasonable demands
which organized or unorganized labor
cannot gain without a strike, and if
the leaders who order them considered
the suffering which the families of
the poorer laboripg men must stand
if thei strike should be a protracted
one, they would never be ordered ex-
cept as last resort.

The slogan of the Lawton Republi-
cans is Down with corruption; only
honest men for Office; and we pre-
sumo this is intended to apply to the

The expression down with corruption
implies corruption exists, and if 1t
does, none bat Republicans are guilty

The slogan has a high sound, from a
practical stand point it is all poppy

card is taken from the box It is record
ed by a man known as a case-keeper
Players can therefore ascertain st any
time during the deal how many cardi
have been extracted from the bcx, ohi
how many times any card has LOSE OF
won.
Professional gamblers always take
careful note OF the progress OF every
card. They have various meth DDS oil
playing, one of the commonest being tU
play what are called "Iepeatsrs." A
gambler who follows this method bets
that any card which has WON Ur lost
will win or lose a second time This
method Is directly opposite to what Is
known as single out" Backing a sin.
gle card, according TO this system
means that It viii win and lose or lose
and win alternately until all four have
been dealt out.
In double out" the cards must fall
first two losers and then two winners
or vice versa
When a player adopts the system
known as three on a side" he f9,ls that
he has an inspiration that the card hs
is backing will win three times and loss
once or lose three times and WIN once
To exemplfy thhe system knlwn as
1.-TWO in the middle" the first cIyd Of
certain denomination must be supposed
to fall in the winning pile, the second
and third an the losing, while tina fourth
and last is again placed among ths
winners. Should the cards be with.
drawn exactly reverse TO the above
order the system would still remain
two in the middle"
Playing colors" means simply to
back the red or black cards OF a certain
denomination either to win or lose
This method is quite a fayorits among
professional gamblers
Many Of the fraternity, when engaged
at faro, play ''up and down the valley"
This method was founded years sgo by
an old gambler, who was always impa-
tient either to win OF lose his money.
His way was to bet on the whols
board at once, backing all the high
cards, from seven to king, to win and
betting that the remaining cards would
lose, or reverse this order and place his
confidence n the low cards.
There is sill another system familiar
to knights Of the green cloth, Witch Is
known as playing cases" A man who
plays cases never bets on cad till
there is but one OF its denomination
left in the box. Gamblers Of tbs kind
are unpopular with the dealers for this
reason
