Manual Training Building at Good Will
Almost Assured,

Rev. G. w. Hinkley of Good
viii Farm was in the city, yester-
day, on his way to New York
He told the Journal that he had
just received telegram from one
of the trustees Of the school saying
that 4 pledge of $4,000 had been given
toward the proposed manual training
building and this was the business
calling him to New York. The pledge
comes through a trustee of the school
and Mr.. Hinkley does not know the
donor. This makes $4,000 of the $50
600 which must be raised before May /,
to secure the building and Mr. Hinkley
is confident that the funds of the school
will not allow the project to fail for
the lack of the comparatively small
sum of $4,000.
1t was a year ago that a wealthy
friend of Good Will, living outside the
State. offered to give $4,000 to build,
equip and endow q manual training
school building, on the condition that
$4,000 more. or $4,000 in all, could be
secured for this purpose before May 1,
1902. Since then there have been re-
ceived another pledge of $4,000, two
pittSoco VI P.VoV CelCli Ollt plcuSe VI
$1,000. and these, with the pledge of
SIS. GOO. of which Mr.. Hinckley received
word. Thursday night, make a total of
$4,000 with almost two weeks in
which to secure the remaining $4,000
Mr.. Hinckley's faith never wavers, and
every friend of the noble institution at
Fairfield most sincerely wishes him
success in this matter.
1t was a dozen years ago that Mr.
Hinckley began, in a modest way, the
work at Good VIII Farm which has
now become so great and important.
At the home which he has founded and
conducted there, over 300 boys have
been cared for, educated and trained
for useful, Christian lives. The in
stitution has been kept strictly non
sectarian, and has never asked for "a
cent from the State treasury There
are now at the Farm about 100 boys
and 80 girls. There are six cottages
for the boys and two for the girls, be-
sides school buildings for each, ad-
ministration building, etc.

s1ift,nr the K,nr.y

One Of the picturesque English coro-
nation ceremonies which have been
discontinued is that Of lifting the king.
In the old days the monarch always
slept at the palace Of Westminster on
the night before the coronation. The
regalia, which are still, technically
speaking. in the dean and chapter Of
Westminster, were brought by them to
Westminster han In preparation for
the ceremony. These were arranged
on a long table, the crown, the scDter,
the spurs, and so on. The king when
he descended from the palace to West
minister hall was lifted by his mobiles
on to q marble chair.
The lifting Of the king into this chair
was a survival Of the old Saxon custom
Of carrying the king on his shield. The
custom survived up to the time of the
coronation Of George ". When the
monarch was seated in the chair. he
at once directed by pointing his finger
which of his mobiles should carry the
various parts of the regalia TO the alb
hey, and the procession began.-Lon

MARITIME EXPRESSIONS.
Used In n Metaphoricnl sense, They
Arc QnIte Common.

Maritime expressions, used meta
phorically, are. in fact, very conamon.
We say n couple are "spllced, young
man is the "malpstay" of his family,
an intruder puts his oar in" the mem
ber from Wayback steers through"
man is "hard up" sometimes "taken
abacl5" or has "the wind taken out Of
his salls.' topper is "slcwed." loafer
"spins a yarn" sometimes tries the
other tack" and ruler "steers the
ship of state" through troublesome
times.
This last metaphor is extremely an
cient, by the way. Horace refers TO
Rome as ship at sea, and plutarch
says the Delphic oracle referred to
Athens in the same way. A Tamil
saying embodies a like metaphor "The
soul is the ship. reason Is the helm,
the oars are the souls thoughts, and
truth is the port" An old collection
of English proverbs contains this one:
'sThe tongue is tho rudder Of our Ship
A Malay maxim says, THE boat which
is swamped at sea may be bailed out.
but the shipwreck of the affections is
final"
Aristophanes, Plautus and others use
an expression which comes down TO
us as an English saw. ITO row one
way and look another" An old Eng
lish proverb d61D was, 1T Is not good

MINE WATCHMAN
SHOT IN BREAST
How He Received Wound Is
a Mystery
Officials Offer a Reward for The De-
lection Of the Person KhO
Fired The Shot

Scranton, Pa, June 16.-About 1
o'clock yesterday morning a watch
man at the Delaware and Hudson
company's No. colliery in Olyphant
found a fellow watchman, named
Charles Robinson, lying under a
freight car unconscious and with a
bullet hdle in his right breast. He
was taken to the Lackawanna Hospi-
tai in this city, and still lies uncon-
scious. How he received his wound
is a mystery. The company officials
have been unable to unravel 1t and
have offered a reward of $1,000 for in
formation that will lead to the detec-
ton of the person who fired the shot.
One theory is that Robinson scrambled
under the car to be sheltered from the
rain and was shot by some-fellow po-
liceman, who mistook him for prowl-
ing striker. Earlier in the night a
Hungarian was fired on by two coal
and iron policemen at this colliery.
The Hungarian was cutting firewood
on the company's property when po-
liceman fired a shot to scare him
away. AS he was fleeing, another po-
liceman, who had heard the shot and
supposed the fugitive had fired it. be
gan poppering at him with a revolver
It is thought possible that he was hit
and that his friends returned and am
bushed Robinson.
The two policemen who fired on the
Hungarian were arrested by Chief oi
Police McKenna. They gave bail fol
a hearing today.
For the past two days the Citizens
Alliance has had a card in the paper:

Union yesterday the secretary was in
structed to mail to the Alliance a ful
