Here's to the crank. II It were not fo-

Forgetful OF fame. of reward and OF rest.
His failures have brought rs a measure

That was welcome indeed 70 TINS pusy

And when he succeeds. we awaken TO find
That he Is the creditor OF all mankind.
So what does II matter, If thoughtless

Daily Work VS.. Examination.

It is encouraging to those who do not be-
iieve in educating children on system
which gets their nerves out of order by over
excitement, to note the increasing tendency
among the best educators to abolish the old
sy ystem of examinations and ranking in
school. Every teacher knows that the best
students among the pupils of Il school do
not usually pass the best examination and
knows too that it is not from want of
knowledge but from want of mental control
due to anxiety and nervousness over the
result This unwholeSome strain on the
young is responsible for many of the evils
which are laid to the charge of the public
schools. When it is generally done away
children will continue to learn as much and
to advance as rapidly and will escape the
anxiety over marks which now makes school
life burden. The time is coming when
some of the stress of competition will be
lifted from children at school, They will
suffer enough from it when they get into
the world. Let their minds have chance
to expand BEAUTIFULLY without any such dan
ger as they have been exposed to it studying
for examinations and trying to ''pass."-

Frank R. Stockton Dead.

WASHINGTON, April 20. Frank R. Stock
ton the Well-known novelist, died suddenly
here, this morning. The cause of Mr. Stock
tons death was paralysis Immediately re-
sultlng from hemorrhage in the brain He
was guest at the banquet, Wednesday
night, of the National Academy of Sciences,
when he was taken suddenly and mysteri-
ously i'll. The ailment did not at that time
appear to be serious and for a while the
sufferer seemed to be improving, but a
change for the worse came this morning,
and death occurred at II O'Clock By his
bedside when the end came were his wife,
who was Miss Tnttle of Virginia, and her
sister He was IS years of age. The body
viii be taken to Philadelphia for interment'
Mr. Stockton had spent the past winter in
New York and had done very little literary
work, preferring to rest. After visit of
nearly month to Atlantic City he came to
Washington so that he might attend the
banquet of the Scientists, intending then to
60 to his beautiful home in Charlestown,
West Virginia.
Mr.. Stockton was philadelphian by
birth; in early life was an engraver and
draughtsman, but soon abandoned this oc-
cupation for journalism. Many years ago,
however, he retired from newspaper work
and devoted himself to literature. His repu-
tatlon as story writer was world wide.

tee.
Special to The New York Times
WASHINGTON, April II. An argument
was made before the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries this morn
ing for the restoration of that provision of
the Ship Subsidy bill allowing small
wooden sailing vessels under 1000 tons
capacity to participate in the subsidy.
Fields 5. Pendleton of New \ ork, President
OF the Atlantic Carriers Association, was
the witness before the committee In the
shipment of certain cargoes, notably those
which have to remain in the hold of the
vessel untouched during the voyage in
order that they may be landed in perfect
condition. Mr, Pendleton represented that
the sailing vessel was preferable to the
steamship, as the latter, touching at so
many ports, frequently shifted the cargo,
to the detriment of the goods.
The only protection which the ship owners
had received up to the present time, Mr.
Pendleten said, was the protective barriers
which prevented them from doing business.
He referred to the protective tariff on steel
lumber, cordage, &c, all of which materials
enter into the construction of sailing ship
He submitted "a statement of the relative
cost of vessels constructed abroad and in
the United States, showing that a vessel
costing S9N.nUO 10 Dullu III the nlted States
could be built abroad for $4,000 to $4,000
When Mr.. McDermott of New jersey ex-
pressed some incredibly. MI. Pendleton
calmly stated that he would give a contract
for tive vessels of this character if any one
could discount his figures.
MI, l'endetOn said the tariff operated al
most altogether against the snip owner and
builder because 1t was levied upon the
materials which entered into the ship, and
the owner received no countervaling COM
pensatj0n, He testified that the sailing
vessel trade had been diminishing steadily
10r years, the number OF ships being re-
duced from 1000 to 300 and was decreasing
every Year Mr. Pendleton gave some IN
tereStIng details as to the advantage of the
wooden ships over steel in our foreign trade,
particularly with South America and Af-
rlca, where the countries have not expended
vast sums for the improvements of rivers
and harbors. Mr. Pendleton pointed out
that in many of the harbors the water was
SO shallow that vessels OF deep draught
could not be admitted, and it was therefore
necessary that small wooden vessels be
employed.
Mr.. Pendleton made an appeal to the
committee to do something for this class of
vessels, in which he was interested. He
lett with the committee letters from COnsulS
at different ports throughout the world in
support of his statement that in many cases
the trade Of the United States depended
upon the wooden sailing vessel of small
tonnage.
