STATE HOUSE,
Establishment ola State Truant
School Being Agitated.
Improved Model Of Krag- -Jorgensen
to Be Made by Government.
State Officials to Proceed Against vioIators Of
0leomarsarine Law.

The movement to establish a State
truant school, which is being agitated
in some parts Of the State, has not been
discussed to any extent at the Capitol,
although it Is said the plan is endorsed
by many leading educators. In some
States such schools already exist.
Whether the Legislature would look
with favor upon the proposition is a
question that cannot now be answered.
The supporters of the plan argue that
the Reform School does not meet the
reeds of school for truants, as many
of the truants, while very persistent in
their truancy, are not addicted to other
vices and ought not to be sent where
they may be obliged to mingle with
boys of more vicious class.
In speaking of the subject one we'll
known educator says: Defective chill
dren are often required by teachers to
do work which they are incapable of
doing. Children with physical defects.
weak memories, hallucinatiOns and bad
tcmpers need special care. Many pa
rents are ignorant or indifferent while
others are even criminal, yet their chill
dren need school training more than
all others. Sometimes boys are driven
to truancy by bad management on the
part of the teachers, but I am glad to
say that do not think that this is fire.

ested, that the Telling OF a giant popular
on the, headwaters of the Broad or the Ca
tawba, directly affects the prosperity OF
the cotton spinner of the lowlands of
South Carolina or Georgia. The secretary,
as is well known, heartily indorses this
enterprise, and says that the question of
its establishment or failure, depends en-
tirely on the southern people themselves.
II they are practically a unit I'm demand
ing IL, they will get It; II they divide
among themselves. they will fall"
Senator Bate said during the last ses-
sion OF congress that he was opposed TO
the enterprise on the ground that there is
land for the purpose of establishing
national park and forest reserve on the
large scale here contemplated.
II is true, as Senator Bate says, that all
OF the reservations heretofore set apart
in the far west have been carved from the
public domain. The nearest approach TO
precedent If statesmen must have one. is
the case OF the "Flathead Forest Re-
serve" established by proclamation of
President Cleveland, February p. 1897. 1t
comprises one and a third millions of
acres and the east half of IL was purchas-
ed from the Indians and Immediately con-
verted TO this use. We are a people who
make precedents instead of allowing prec-
edents to make u.s. The wisest man who
made for man and not man for the Sab
bath.
There was no precedent for purchasing
Louisiana; Thomas Jefferson made one.
There was no precedent for despoiling
Mexico: Polk the great expansionist.
seized a mighty empire. There was no
precedent for a joint occupancy with
Great Britain OF the far northwest; we
made one.
The famous ordinance Of 1871; the
Missouri compromise: the bred Scott de-
cision; the great civil war: the electoral
commission: the attempted impeachment
Of a president: the Intervention In Cuba;
TO say nothing of a hundred minor incl
dents OF our history; all these have been
without precedent
II Is safe TO say that the enterprise
ought not TO, and will not fail for want
OF a precedent.
GEOGRAPHICALLY considered, this region is
in the center OF that portion OF the country
east OF the Mississippi and south of the
Great Lakes. The establishment OF.
great public park here involves vastly
more than a mere economic question con-
corning the farmer and the cotton spinner
of the southern states. IL will become

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Lady Stanley, wife
of Sir Henry NJ. Stanley, asserts that she
has high authority for saying that Italian
legal difficulties have been overcome and
that negotiations are well advanced for
the transfer of the entire Borghese gallery
to the United States. She implores the
civilized world to join in averting such a
catastrophe.
The italian chamber of deputies on No
vemberl % last, passed bill appropriating
600 lire C$6755OO) for the purchase Of
the Villa Borghese collection of pictures,
statuary and other art objects, the esti-
mated value Of which is 100000 lire G1,-
$50 000) Prince Borghese, who was In
financial difficulties, offered to donate the
entire collection of paintings to the italian
nation If he were permitted to sell
"RaphaePs Sacred and Profane Love"
abroad for which he has been offered
100000 lire. but the government, under
the law, refused to give him permission
to sell it. 1t was further announced some
time ago that the city of Rome would
purchase the villa and park.
The Borghese gallery is regarded as be-
ing the finest private collection of paint
ings in the world. Among the best known
works in it are Correggio's "Danae" and
RaphaePs "Entombment." The statuary
in the collection is not regarded as or
great Importance, but the modern sculp-
ture includes several masterpieces, such
as Canova's Venus Victrix."

Some Interesting Tests
Made With Crude Oil

Prof. James E. Denton of Stevens insti-
tute. in report just completed and COM
piled in pamphlet form on the use of
crude oil from Beaumont, Tex. as fuel,
has reached some interesting conclusions.
The tests were made in New York city,
and were severe and scientific I'm charac-
ter. In the first test IS pounds of steam
were raised in % minutes. while in test
made later with a heavy coal 6re one
hour and IL minutes were required to raise
the same weight of steam. After this ex-
pertinent a careful examination Of the
boiler was made. and no injurious results
were found. Several tests were subse-
quently made. with similar results.
The scientific aspects OF the expert
ments are gone into infinitely and eXhaus-
lively by Prof. Denton, but TO the lay
mind the interest in the tests will proba-
bly, be on tho side Of economy and the
possibility OF danger. II was found that
four and one quarter barrels Of oil VIII
do the work OF a long ton Of coal. The
price Of the latter IS about s., while that
OF the former is but n cents.
One Of the large southern railways has
been experimenting with crude oil, with
results so satisfactory that, before the end
OF the year, over 200 engines will be equip
ped for burning oil instead Of coal Prof.
Denton estimates that IL will require but
one fireman TO attend to 80 oil burners
Of 1000 horsepower each. and no ash
handling will be required.
As to the danger from the use Of oil, the
report says:
Experiments with samples OF the oil
used for the evaporative tests show the
following results regarding Its infamma-
bic qualities:
"A pool Of oil spilled upon board can
not he ignited with a match. The latter
extinguished itself when the match is
partly burned. The instant the match
comes in contact with the oil. air is

GREAT MORAL LESSON THE DOWNFALL OF A ONCE Bril-
LIANT MAN.


Political reverses come to all men in
public life.
Ny real ruin dated from the time that
the most brilliant part of my career be-
gan.
In 1873 1 had Just been elected govern
or-the youngest man who ever held that
position in my native state-at the age OF
thirty.
had fought my way up to that position
to speaker of the state house of repre-
sentatives and to other offices against the
bitterest opposition. 1 had been in the
Confederate army, but had become Re-
publican. as matter of principle.
That was equivalent to being called
traitor by the aristocracy of my state.
At the outset of my administration l.
was subjected to a social ostracism. 1t
was extended to my family and friends.
Ny Masonic brothers would not speak to
me outside of the lodge room.
1 held my head high and tried to ig-
more the taunts and humiliations that
were heaped upon at me at every turn.
Ny nerves gave way. 1 could not sleep.
To one of my particular friends 1 con-
filed my sufferings Of mind and body.

Sleep" That friend. who thought he was

was Major ]. b. Dennis. formerly of Nor
wich, Conn, who went to South Carolina
to settle after the war.
I took the advice and sent a messenger
to the apothecary that evening for the

, Now I will sleep!' I cried exultantly
] that night before going to bed as poised
