FOR YARD.

1 Whatever may be said against oul ! eountry's acquisition of the Philippine Islands no one can dispute reasonably that the Filipinos will be vastly bene- fited by the public school instruction which Is being generally introduced in- to these islands by our government. This is true with regard to Porto Rico and Cuba. Since our government com menced to rule Porto Rico where Hitter acy has been the rule for centuries S35 new schoolhouses have been opened, 60,O00 children are attending school daily and hundreds of thousands are demanding admission. These figures are from the report of the Commissioner of Education
 The public schools in the Philippines are already producing fine results and the Filipinos are eager to learn. Thelf eagerness to learn is one of the most gratifying indications in the situation there and more encouraging still is the
 
 desire which is manifested to acquire the English language. The Spanish language is the language of commerce there now but if we retain the islands long enough the English language will dominate there as the Spanish does now, in trade and commerce. The great gain of such a substitution to our commercial relations with the islands is obvious, and with this change accom- plshed we may get away part of that trade in which the British now have so much advantage over us. It will take, however, 8 good while, long while, before the change is thoroughly effica- cious. But the gain to the masses of the islanders from sheer ignorance to a knowledge of the three R's alone, will be a great stride forward for them.

SCIENTIFIC MARCHING

Some of the hardest work ever done by troops is in route marching. Oul soldiers on the spacious welt have known much of it. Two Well-knoWr German savants, Professor Zuntz, of Berlin, and Dr. Schumburg, of Hano- yer, have just made public the results of systematic inquiries on this subject which seem to deserve the attention of all army authorities The professors conducted experiments with five volun- teer students, to determine "the limit of
 weight which the soldier can carry
 without interference with his capacity
 for striking, and striking hard at the
 end of the days march, The young
 men walked tWenty-four and three
 fourth kilometers-say fifteen and one-
 half miles-and bore llnapsacks with
 loads of tWenty-tWo, twenty seven and
 thirty-one kiloS-about forty eight, df-
 ty-nine and siXty-eight pounds, respec-
 tiVely-keeping up the same pace, and
 with only short intervals for rest. The effect on the heart was undoubted, and

 Graduated training increased the sol dier's vital capacity up to a certain point" but marked dininution oc- cured with the heaviest loads, this se- rious effect being associated with dila- tatfon of the heart and liver and venous stagnation." The consequence of con tinuous heavy marching on the waste of the system was what would be expect ed: the carho hydrates consumed in the rations are not sufficient to replace the waste, and days rest is required after every three days marching to en- able the body to recover it's normal power" In Germany they believe in science, and so, Nature says the conclu- sions now published are accepted as au- thoritGtive, and the regulations bearing upon marching and physical training in the army are based upon these re- earches.-London Telegraph.

The interesting announcement is made by Scribners that the Yale lee lures on 'The Responsibilities of Citi- zenship,' founded in May 1900, by Will liam E. Dodge, of New York, will be published in yearly volumes. The courses, according to MT. Dodge's pro- visions, are to be on topics, the under standing of which may help to form an intelligent public sentiment as to the duties of Christian citizens. The first volume, soon to be published, will con- sist of the lectures by Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme court on American Citizenship" In it he de fines the general rights and duties of citizenship, leaving later lectures, as he explains to develop particular obliea
 tions as they see fit. Among the topics he touches on in wise and witty way are the obligations of taxpayers, of jurors, and fathers and mothers of fam ilies, of politicians and officeholders.

If the experiments with new tele- phone designed to facilitate communi- cation on railroads here, as is reported in a dispatch from Chicago, prove sue cessful, the importance of this inven- tion must be apparent to every one, and to trainmen particularly.

CRONE'S SUMNER GARDEN
AMUSEMENT RESORT THAT WILL BE
RECALLED BY OLD CITIZENS.
Some Actors Who Afterward Became

ture of the Garden.

Jacob Crone. Familiarity known as Jake"
was one Of the pioneer theatrical men OF
Indianapolis. Crone's summer garden,
which was situated at the corner of Ala
bama and Washington streets, where the
Mansur block now stands, will be remem-
bered. more than likely, by only those who
are able TO recall things that happened and
existed in the seventies. Mr.. Crone started
his garden in 1873. For a number Of years
there was no roof over the garden but
later Mr.. Crone made the garden into a
theater. He thought that he would be able
to make more money from the theater than
he could selling drinks, as he had to close
the bar at p. m.
His first attempt in the show business
was at vaudeville. Some of the most prom
inent people who are on the stage now ap-
peared at the garden. but the majority Of
them have been outlived by their employer
Among those that worked in the garden
are some famous minstrel men, namely,
Bobby Newcombe, Billy Cartwright and
Lew Hawkins. who was at the Grand last
season. Probably the most noted black
face man was Clark Gibbs, who filled the
theaters wherever he appeared. He was a
great favorite in indianapolis. Other men

saloon keepers to close their doors at p.
m and not open them again until o'clock
the next morning. Mr.. Crone said that in
order to evade the law he organized club.
The club had 1900 members and each one
had a key TO the front door. Dues were
paid and at the end of each month the
money that was collected spent. The
Baxter law was repealed a number of years
ago.
Mr.. Crones garden was patronized by
some of the best people in the city. Wash
ington and Alabama streets were always
blockaded with carriages. Right back of the
garden was a German Lutheran Church.
One day the minister told Mr.. Crone that he
had no complaint to make against his gar
den but that the drums made so much
noise that it disturbed the services. Mr..
Crone stopped the drums while the services
were being held. After the services the
congregation came to the garden to hear
the music and drink and the drums were
started again.
Mr. Crone is known 10 many In the the
atrical profession. If it had not been for his
generosity he might still be running the
garden. He lost his money by going Sc
curity for some of his supposed friends.
He moved to Broad Ripple where he made
enough money to pay his debts. He then
moved back TO town and has been prosper
Gus ever since.

recognition.

of Indiana Territory fed across the Ohio

through mismanagement of an attack the
savages escaped There were twenty of
them, but the number engaged in the at
tack at Pigeon Roost was probably not so
great. So greatly were the people of this
region alarmed that two blockhouses were
erected the following year for better pro-
lection. One built just east Of the present
town of Vienna was called Kimberlin
