CART WHEEL IN A TROLLEY SLOT

eus an Italian Pedler.

A pushcart with load of chromos and
an Italian showing it got tangled up In
the slot of the uptown track OF the Third
avenue surface road opposite Spruce street
last evening. short-circuited the current
and set free enough electricity to light
up Park row for a couple of blocks. The
Italian had come from uptown and was
trundling his load home along Park row.
He took the uptown tracks. presumably
so that he should not be bumped by car
from behind.
Opposite Spruce street one of the wheels
Of the cart went down in TO the slot. In a
second flames enveloped the cart and shot
up and down the track. The Italian didn't

mans turn now. As for him he was con-
tent with he curb.
The motorman saw that he'd have to climb
down or be held where he was. so he jerked
the wheel loose. The lower rim was pretty
badly burned and some Of the pictures
got scorched in the fame. That was all the
damage. but there was no more of Park

Bingham. constituting the Correspondence
Institute of America. were arrested here
to-day at the instance of Post Once In
spector Hugh German, charged with a
fraudulent use Of the mails. They were
taken before United States Commissioner
Searle and held in $1,000 bail each for
further hearing on Saturday.
The Correspondence Institute Of America
must not be confounded with the Inter-
national Correspondence Schools of Scran-
ton. The former occupies two floors OF
the Mears Building in this city and the
management Of affairs seemed to be solely
in the hands Of the president. Alton +.
Clark. The other mentioned are business
men Of the city and up to to-day the pub
lie was not aware that they were connected
with the concern.
The allegation Of Inspector German
is that the Clark concern advertised to do
service for its pat rons that il was impossi-
BILE for 1t to perform. The Correspondence
Institute of America was a heavy adver-
tiser. II spent thousands Of dollars in
informing the people through the leading
newspapers what it proposed TO do, and
IL advertised to give instruction by mail
in Journalism, electricity. stenography,
art illustrating and advertising writing.
Inspector German says he has discov-
cred that the concern did not POSSESS facili-
ties and instructors to carry out their
promises.
The books of the institute show that
the firm netted about 10000 during the
two years that il has been operating II
had about 5000 patrons and il spent 500
day in postage. The mails were foe d d
with letters to and from the firm. The
instruction that was given the patrons
was comparatively worthless, il is alleged
According to the inspector the methods
of securing patrons were interesting. They
would offer tuition free and send the instru-
ments that were needed in following the
course that the student would select. The
application that the student signed for
the instruments needed for the course was
demand Immediately Of each student SIS
as tuition fee In nearly every case this
was paid. Then the instruction papers
were sent TO the students.
Under the contracts made by the insti-
tute with its patrons it is required TO
give personal instruction to each student
This was never done. II Ia alleged. all instruc-
ton being by printed circulars. The allega-
tion Is made that there are no instructors
al the institute at all now and that the
office force consists Of twenty-five clerks,
nearly all of whom are stenographers
A hearing will be held on Saturday.

BRITAIN'S .tW4kENING.


Special Cable Despatch 10 THE sun,
MANCHESTER, Oct ia. j. Balfour the
Prime Minister, opened the Manchester
municipal school OF technology, which is
probably the largest and best equipped
institution Of that kind in the world. to-day.
Mr.. Balfour said the building was an out
ward and visible sign OF the awakening
that had come.
In view Of the ever changing conditions
of international industry the time had
passed when they could say they were the
first Of the industrial nations and the rest
were nowhere. That time had passed
never to return. The cause was inevitable,
but 1t might not be sad for them. The
growth Of the wealth Of the world must
be benefit to every part Of the world.
What they had to do was to bear their
own share in the development.
Still more important, said Mr.. Balfour
was the change from the pre.scientific G
to the scientific stage Of industry. Hence.
forth and for evermore,' said the Premier.
there will be closer connection between
the most remote and abstract scientific
study Of the chemist, Of the physicist and
OF the electrician in their laboratories
and the great industries Of the community.
We must give that complete scientific
training which is more and more the basis
Of our industrial fabric"

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN
LONDON. Oct. i5.-The Cabinet tonight
gave Prime Minister Balfour a demonstra-
ton Of its solidarity on the eve Of the meet
ing OF Parliament which will assemble
tomorrow. The occasion was banquet
given by the Lord Mayor Of London to
celebrate Mr.. Balfour's assumption Of the
premiership. Two hundred guests were
present.
In the chief speech Of the evening Mr.
Balfour unwittingly furnished an instance
of his habtual unconcern for practical
arrangements. which. it il predicted, will
make the coming session lively for the
Ministry, despite it's enormous majority
He was thanking the Lord Mayor for the
toast to his health when he said that there
were subjects on which IL was difficult to
speak in public. One Of these was his re-
lations with his predecessor. He had been
associated with Lord Salisbury in all trans
actions where he had taken a leading part,
and owed a great deal to Lord Salisbury
for the encouragement given him when he
was a mere boy. These were debts that
he owed to Lord Salisbury. He would not
have referred to them except for the ears
Of private friends.
The Lord Mayor thereupon informed
him that there were reporters present.
Mr.. Balfour was quite surprised at this
information, but he declared that he was
not ashamed Of his words. He would
not have said them. however. If he had
been aware that they would be made public.
He devoted the remainder Of his speech
to the puSlc business of the coming
session.
Later in the evening Mr.. Balfour and
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain exchanged
the ~armest compliments. The latter de-
scribed Mr.. Balfour as the soul Of honor, who
broke no promises, served M private ends
and represented the best traditions of
the English Parliament. Mr.. Balfour.

had done more for the British Empire than
any other Colonial Minister.
