She Is Here to study the Kinder
garten Sysfem.

Sister Sanghamitta, a nun of q Bud
| dhist order. is visiting New York for the
| purpose Of getting funds for school that
| she desires to establish in Calcutta for
low caste Hindoo girls. She has already
| started such school in Ceylcn and now
| that it is on a sound basis, she wishes to
| extend the work in every possible direc-
| ton
My work is principally to give the i'm
| petus of practicality to these poor peo-
ple, said Sister Sanghamitta yesterday
to Tribune" reporter. The religious
element, of course, cannot be absent, but
that is found in the exposition of their
own religion, not in trying to teach them
a new. That is where the missions maze
their mistake They do not realize that
these people. with the pure, deep, and
scientific philosophy of Buddha have a
religion that If lived up to, will make
the highest kind of life. What they need
is educatiOn-the knowledge of practical
things, the development of the mental
power that gives strength and self-de-
pendence. The high class ATyans, mis-
named HindoOs. have subtle minds that
are far more capable of dealing with the
deeper questions of life than those OF the
Western peoples The low classes get the
pearls OF thought that lie in the Hindoo
religious systems. but lack the education
! that would enable them to comprehend
and assimilate them. They need schools
to lead them back to the fountain of pure
belief. well as to teach them practical
ways of improving their miserable lives.
These are denied them by the strong caste
prejudices that exist in India
The women need to be taught the sim
pie rules of health and industry, and We
can work best with the young girls. The

to India five years ago. after she became
interested in Buddhistic teachings, and
there renOunced her title and took the
name of a HindoO princess who lived
three centuries before Christ and devoted
her life 10 the poor. In speaking of her
change of faith the countess said:

for her Greek play she fashions from the
drawings which she made while abroad.
Whenever she sees piece of goods the
texture and coIoring of which especially
appeal to her for the purpose, she pur-
chases it and makes it up at once INTO
tunic or a robe.
For the past five years she has been
kept busy from one end to the other OF
the college year As she spends SIX weeks
in drilling for each presentation, she can
seldom give more than four plays during
a season. Her plan upcH going to col
leEe is to spend the first two or three days
watching the students upon the campus,
in the class rooms. and especially at their
athletic exercises, for physique and grace
are important factors in the presentation
of Greek plays.

that men take all the parts better than
women. This is for various reasons; they
are taller. they walk with greater ease,

Thrifty WiIhelminu

The Queen of Holland is thoroughly
Dutch in every way, and therefore it is
not surprising that she is an excellent
house wife. Once in three weeks the
young Queen makes a tour Of inspection
of the royal kitchens to see If the cup
boards, the platea and saucepans are in
good order. These beautiful FURNISHED
copper pans are the delight of every
Dutch housewife. and a tarnish on them
she would regard almost as a stain upon
her reputation. Economy and thrift are
marked characteristics of Queen WilheI-
mina's domestic management. and It is
said that the Queen mother has often
been made quite angry by her daughters

RAN OVER A CHILD.
Mai. Karow's Daughter Injured by
Bicycle Rider.


Allen Brooks, colored, will appear be-
fore Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning. on a charge of running over the
little daughter of Mai. and Mrs. Edward
Karow. on Whitaker and Broughton
streets. yesterday afternoon. The child
was bruised and before he could make
his escape, Brooks was placed under ar
rest by Patroiman Parish of the Ocean
Steamship ComDanys force.
1t is charged that Brooks was riding In
a fast and reckless manner when the ac-
cident occurred. The little girl was
standing with an attendant on the corner
waiting for a trolley car, when the negro
ran into her. The collision threw the
rider from the wheel, and he was placed
under arrest before he had an opportunity
to escape.
AS the summer season advances the
number of bicycle riders on the streets
increase, and a larger number of acct
dents are reported at police headquarters.
AS in Brooks case many of those on
wheels are thoroughly irresponsible, and
serious collisions are the result The
police have been issued strict orders by
Supt. Reilly. and will watch for all who
persist in violating the ordinances of the
road.
Last night Bicycle officer Christy sent
Richard Wright, colored, to the police
station, on a charge OF scorching and rid
ing without light. The negro did not
have lamp on his wheel. and when told
to halt, made an effort to outsprint the
officer. Christy is a speedy rider, and
after an exciting chase, landed his man
Wright will be given an examination by
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.

HAD A QUIET SESSION.
Expected Sensation in Grand Jury
Meeting Failed to Show Up.

The grand jury of the Superior Court
returned a number of indictments against
criminals of rather small note yesterday
afternoon. 1t had been stated that the
grand jury was to hear some sensational
disclosures, but these did not transpire.
The story current about the streets
was that weH-known business
man would appear before the grand jury
and tell something of what he knew of
gambling. as it is carried on
in Savannah. The conjunction of
terms is not meant to indicate that
the expected witness is in the gambling
business Far from it. The information
he has, or is said to have, is some that
he has picked up on his rounds or &C
quired by the way.
At any rate, however he did not show
up, whatever the reason for the failure
was The story was rather lacking in
the matter of his own particulars, and
did not specify whether the expected wit
ness was to be a voluntary one or had
been urged to make his appearance be-
fore the grand jury, against his own in
clination and by means of a subpoena
from that body. AS he did not show up,
this doubt was not resolved
The business done by the grand jury
very great interest. The indictments re-
turned were against offenders whose al
legged criminal conduct scarce stirred the
bosom OF the ocean of public opinion.
They are just the ordinary, everyday run
of criminals, without any glamour of ro-
nance surrounding their evil deeds or
halo of interest encircling themselves to
give them claims to publicity.
Philip Sanders, Jr., young white man,
s,NT4f r+r Yr.1f
animals. William c. Miller swore that
Sanders had wilfully and cruelty shot a
horse belonging to the witness, without
any other apparent purpose than the
qualification of his own curiosity as to the
accuracy of his craftsmanship
Two indictments were returned against
Solomon Haygood. One charges him with
burglary and the other with the offense
of assault with intent to murder. The
alleged murderous assault is said to have
been committed on one Of the occupants
of the house which Haygood, according to
the story the indictment tells, broke and
entered.
There were some others. owen Martin,
a member of one of the colored compa-
MES of the State Troops, who had been
entrusted by the commander of his COM
pany with a uniform, belonging to the
state, is said to have made away with
this property and converted the proceeds
to his own use. The grand jury says he
is guilty of larceny after trust.
Indictments for burglary were returned
against Sarah Lewis and Willie Atkins,
D. Washington, Crawford Corey and
Lewis Green. Walter Jones is charged
with breaking and entering a locked and
sealed railway car.
The grand jury will hold no further
sessions for the present save at the call
of the court or the solicitor general The
May term will be adjourned towards the
end of the month and a session or two
will be helds about that time to make
changes in the budget and prepare the
grand jury's general presentments.

HAD HE KNOWN HIM BETTER.
Alderman Says Rev. Sam Jones
Would Not Have Got Park


Would Not Have Got Park.
An alderman had been expressing him
self without reservation about Rev. Sam
Jones. He had left little for inference,
as his statements of what he thought
about the evangelist and the language he
employs in the pulpit cover the ground
so we'll that no one would have found it
necessary to look deeper than the alder
mans words for his meaning. He wound
up his denuncation by saying:
Had l known when the application for
the use of the Park Extension for the
Sam Jones meetings was made to Council
what l know now Of that reverend gen.
tleman and the utterances Of which he
can be guilty, he would never have had
the privilege of addressing any of his
ribald barangues 10 Savannahians from
tabernacle erected upon that tract"
do you mean" the alderman was
asked. that the board would have viewed
the matter as you dor
Yes, that is what I mean. Council
would never have granted permission for
the use of the Park Extension for such a
purpose"
The speaker was one of the most promi-
nent members OF the board, and his ex-
preston of opinion as TO what action
Council will take in the matter is usual
~ correct.
