Review OF Business Transacted
by the Big Twelve.

The grand jury completed its
work and adjourned this afternoon.
With the exception of Saturdays
the grand jury has been in continu-
Gus session since the opening OF

DISTRICT COURT ADJOURHS
Today Marked the Closing of q
Successful Term.

The May term of the Ellis county
district court has come to an end.
Today marked the closing of one
of the most successful terms held in
the history of the county.
And in point of the business trans
acted the court was one of the larg-

Perfect harmonyprev through
out the term and business was dis

Informed, and he is held in high es-

jurors and the public In general.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
has held court day and night since
the criminal docket was taken up he
says he does not feel the effects of
the great strain that has been rest

to particular place. The same rule
prevails in the harness rooms, which,
by the way, contain some notable spec
linens of artistic work. The harness
OF the horse driven by the emperor in
his dog cart is decorated with mounts
ings of solid gold. Some Of the hack
harness is plated with gold, but most
OF it has quadruple silver plate. The
most valuable article in the collection
is harness for a saddle horse pre-
sented to Emperor William by the sui
tan of Turkey. A number of valuable
saddles, gifts to his majesty from the
rulers of Russia, Morocco, Persia, Siam.
Japan and China are ornamented with
gems as well as pure gold and silver
mountings, and give to the rooms the
appearance of veritable treasure cham
bers. conservative estimate places the
value Of these unique presentation sad
dies at $2,000,000. The livery halls are
equally interesting. They give the
visitor an insight into the etiquette of
court courtesies. There are liveries
for ordinary drives, for the coachmen
OF gala equipages, for outriders and
huntings. In all of the uniforms the
prevailing tone is the imperial blue, the
only exception being the groom of the
dog cart who wears brown with gold.
In the large yard is located riding
court, used principally to give exercise
to the horses. The real riding hall is
on the first floor of the building and
there the great court functions are
held. For the emperor's private use
two small halls have been built. But,
as has been said, the principal riding
school Is at Potsdam, near the capital
city. This institution has undergone
but few changes since the days of Fred
erick the Great. The horses are hero
trained according to the system in use
for the cavalry branch of the army.
The ventilation of the royal stables
at Berlin is as perfect as science can
make it; and the building itself is q
marvel of modern iron construction.
BY simply touching a button a child
can open the entire glass roof of the
main stable hall and thus change the
air in the twinkling of an eye. The
prevailing color is pure white and the
illumination comes from electric lights
placed around the wall under the roof.
Every year certain number of the
royal horses is sold to the public. Some
are disposed of because they are slight-
ly "off color" others because they are
no longer needed or have developed
some petty vice. They are eagerly
sought after by would-be aristocrats
who are willing to pay high prices for
animals which have once been the en-
peror's, although his majesty may
never have laid his eyes upon them
after the first general inspection.

PURSUING DELUs1oNs.
Better Educate For the High station
Of Private Life Than Pursue
the Omcial Bee.

There is no more agregious error,
says Prof. j. j. Britt, of North Caro-
lima, than for teacher or parent to
hold up the ambitious and aspiring
youth, as stimulant to exertion, the
probability of his becoming presi-
dent or goveronr of a state. It is a
fact of history and statistics that in
this great country of ours only one
man out of twenty-nine million can
reach the presidency of the United
States. When you reflect that it is
restricted to native born male citi-
izens who have attained the age of 35
years, aside from the thousand and
one other contingencies, the bright
youth may see how infinitesimally
small are his chances to become
president of the United States. He
stands less than one chance in five
hundred thousand of becoming gov
ernor of North Carolina, and an al
most equally slim chance of becom-
ing senator in congress. He stands
one chance in seventy-five thousand
of becoming representative in con-
gress, and on infinitely less chance Of
becoming a foreign minister or the
president Of great college. There is
another and grander consideration.
The highway of public life is strewn
with wrecked fortunes, blighted am
bitions, and blasted hopes. Besides it
opens the way for temptations to
corruption, deceit and malpractice.
You must disabuse your minds of the
delusion that there is no greatness
outside of public life. There is an
other and grander field for develop.
ment, and that is in the exalted sta.
tions of private life.

PRODUCTIVE EDUCATION.
Gov. Montague of virginia, PIeads
For Manual Training I'm the
q Public Schools.

The social, commercial and indus
trial state of the common yealth has
almost wholly changed in the last
thirty-five years, says Gov. Montague
of Virginia. These changes have inn
posed new conditions that must bo
met with courage, energy and intelli-
gence, or we must fatally lag behind
in the march of progress and civili-
zation. Education for speculative
thinkers and professions will not
save the people. But few of the
many who ever enter public schools
make their living other than by the
use of their hands and eyes. Why
not, therefore, educate those facul-
ties and members which produce the
substance and comforts of life? Such
education is not merely material. Up
on labor all civilization primarily
rests, and the education of this labor
will teach knowing by doing, and
blend science with art. It will beget
habits of order, accuracy, industry
and intelligence; it will produce con-
tentment and develop skill and pro-
ductive power; it will dignity labor
and energize the creative forces OF
society. These momontous nee6s
can be greatly facilitated. if not ac-
complished, by some forms of indus
trial education. Ample experience
affords indisputable proof of the
practical and ethical value Of this
form of education, which in soma
branches may be introduced into
many of our public schools with lit
tie, if any, additional cost; and in q
few years we shall have system Of
teaching that will popularize the free
schools and powerfully advance tho
state.

Practical Education the Thing.

You find here and there individual
men who talk against education for
one class of people or another, but
when you get down to the facts Of
the case, says Edgar Gardner MUIR
ply, you usually find that these men
are objecting, not to education in it
self, but to some specious and un-
practical form of miseducation. For
all classes of our people, there has
been too much of the education that
looks toward vanity, and not enough
of that education which looks toward
a common sense, practical equipments
for the actual opportunities of life.
This is the form of education in
which we are especially interested.

~ MPEROR WILLIAM has reason
r. to be proud of his horses and
equipages. There are courts
which maintain larger number of
animals, but in point of quality the
German stables stand at the head.
The royal family of Prussia has,
from time immemorial, encouraged
the breeding of fine horses, and
rumor has it that the present ruler
is carrying his love for fine horsefiesh
almost to excess.
The imperial stable at Berlin is a

cleverness of interior arrangement.
1t is located in the center of the city.
not far from the palace, and orna-
mented with pillars, columns and
sculptures of rare artistic merit. Al
both ends of the magnificent front
are fountains-one representing Pro
metheus, straining every muscle to
defend himself against the eagle
which is attacking him; the other
Perseus and Andromeda, showing the
hero in his battle with the dragons
and back of him Andromeda with
Pegasus. Beautiful groups, picturing
the training of the horse for pur-
poses of war, lend added magnifcenc..
to the rich gallery at the top of the
building.

horses, which are raised on the royal
