the key to the philosophy of the kinder
garten and the suggestive manual of
its practice. None of the music and
few of the songs are used in the latter
day kindergarten, but the plays are
still unchanged Miss Backus read two
of the Mother Communings from
Notices and Commentaries on the
Mother Plays" and a copy of the book
was then given to each member of the
class.
The picture on "Play With the
Limbs" the first of the series, was
studied in detail. Miss Backus said
that although the songs and music had
been most successfully rewritten. no
other pictures had even been drawn
than could supply the place of the or
iginal illustrations, which, however
crude in form and drawing, were Won
derful in their complete expression Of
the ideas suggested in the notices.
Each member was allowed to take a
book home and Play XIX on 1.-THE

A TRAIN WRECKER ARRESTED.
WaycrOss Man Does u Good Piece of
Detective Work.

Waycross, Ga, Feb. 14.-Mr. T. NJ.
Westberry. who recently retired from
the police force in this city, has the
reputation of being a very clever de-
tective, although at present engaged
in the plumbing business.
For several weeks Mr.. Westberry has
been quietly following a man who was
charged with wrecking a Southern
Railway train between Odum and Sur,
rency some time ago. He had associ-
ated with him a colored man who has
been doing some splendid work in that
line. The train wrecker was followed
from Wayne county to Buffers ISL
and and thence on to Darien. West
berry's colored assistant kept the man
Swallowed and finally induced him to
come from Darien to Waycross; the
scheme worked like a charm, AMI be-
fore he was aware of It, he was safely
in the trap which had been set for
him by the detective Westberry. The
mans name Is Allen Strickland and
he reached here in company with the
negro, who led him straight to West
berry's residence, and it was then that
he was placed under arrest and kept
under guard until Special Agent J. w.
Connolly of the Southern Railway ar
rived and took him to Atlanta. Strlck-
land talked very freely with Mr.. West
berry in regard to the wrecking OF the
train, and acknowledged the whole
business. He said he never thought
of doing any damage, but that he just
wanted to see the track torn up and
the train broken to pieces. He wrecked
the train by piling the dump car and
lot of crossties on the track.

1t is understood that Mrs. Electra
M. Craig, who is to establish her poul-

as a monthly poultry magazine. espe-
cially adopted to the needs of poul-
try raisers in the South.

Rev. George L. LaMont Gordon, who
is in charge of st. James Mission at
Forty-Mile City, Yukon Territory,
writes the Waycross Journal that IL all
is well with him, he will spend only
one more winter In that country, when
he will return to the South again.
Rev. Mr. Gordon was in charge Of the
Dupont Seminary, and was pastor of
the church at Dupont making many
friends while in this section.
MIR, o. II. Lowther has gone TO Cot

S. Denmark of this city has yielded to
the solicitation of his friends through
out the Southern Judicial Circuit. and
will become a candidate for judge Of
the circuit In an interview on the
subject this morning, Mr.. Denmark
said: IT have been strongly urged to
become a candidate for judge Of the
Southern Judicial Circuit by a good
many citizens throughout the circuit,
and ! have carefully and deliberately
considered the matter, and have de-
cided to become a candidate subject
to the action of the Democratic party,
and you are authorized to make the an
nouncement.
It is known here that great pressure
has been brought to bear upon Mr..

of this county, Berrien, Echols and
Brooks, have unanimously Endorsed
him, and he has many friends in Col
quit and Thomas, the other two coun-
ties of the circuit. 1t was rumored
some time ago that Hon. S. s. Bennett
of Quitman, would be a candidate. but
he will not antagonize Mr. Denmark,

port. Mr.. Bennett and Mr.. Denmark
have been lifelong friends, and neither
would antagonize the other.
