Miss Alberta Gallatin, who is a
daughter of the Confederate General
Albert Gallatin, has been denied hon
orary membership in the Virginia
Daughters of the Confederacy because
she is acting in the play. Ghosts"
which the Virginia Daughters condemn
on moral grounds. The story Of
Ghosts" is by Ibsen and is regarded
as one of his best efforts. OF its pur-
pose to teach morality there can be no
question. 1t portrays the consequences
of wrong doing in a manner that is de-
cidedly impressive. If there is objec-
ton to Ibsen, it seems hardly fair to
Miss Gallatin that the displeasure
should be visited on her.

money earned was a little more than
$31, 900. The highest average of earn
ing power was shown by the law stu
dents, the average being $3S1T1 each
for the three months. BY tutoring and
teaching the students made $12,6S4; by
clerical work $5,0S0; by technical work
$2.11S and in miscellaneous ways S11,-

An interesting and instructive ex-
hihit at the St. Louis Exposition will be
a model street" which, as a matter Of
fact, might be called model city. The
street will be 100 feet wide and nearly
half mile long. and It is designed to
show what an ideal American street
should be. Twenty-Five of the leading
cities of the country will combine with
the exposition company to perfect the
street. 1t will show various kinds of
paving, and along it's sides will be
model houses, factories, depots and
other buildings. Certain leading fea-
lures Of each Of the twenty-five cities
will be shown in the street, including
transportation, police, street cleaning.
etc. The object lesson will be one Of
crest value to city officials and others
who visit the exposition.

Certain officials of the steel trust
made an inspection of the corporations
mines in the Northwest last week. The
inspection was official, for the purpose
of ascertaining conditions and values,
for the information of the directors.
The mines are located in Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. In forty
hours the inspectors on their special
train covered five ore ranges scattered
through the three states and were on
their way East. In Minnesota seven
teen mines were inspected and 1870
miles travelled all within thirteen hours
In Wisconsin three vast mines were
visited and inspected in forty-f1ve min
utes. 1t may be judged that the in
spection was largely from car win
dows and back platforms but that
doesn't make any difference, since the
physical condition of the property is
not so important as the f1nanciering
part of the business, which latter is
conducted in Wall street.

The Department of Agriculture has
discovered a disease that is so deadly
it will kill a goat. 1t is new ailment
and is called "takosis," the name be-

to waste away. The disease was first
discovered in flock of angora goats
in Pennsylvania. meteorological ex-

which has been given the name of mi
crococcus caprinus. Angoras, by the
way, are not so tough as the native

micrococci strike these they may find
they have undertaken a hard PROPOSE

which for country of only 5000, 900
inhabitants means a heavy outlay.
None of the rivers emerging from
Switzerland being navigable. fuel must
be transported by rail. This naturally
makes fuel in this country very ex-
pensive; hence it does not pay to i'm
port any but the very best qualities of
coal. owing to the increase in the price
OF coal during the last few years, Mr.
Thormann, a prominent Swiss engi-
neer, wished to find out whether it
would not be an advantage to use cleo
tr1cal energy furnished by hydraulic
plants, over the whole of the railroad
system of Switzerland. After inyesti-
eating the subject he published a re-
port which has awakened considera BILE
interest, and will, no doubt bring about
some practical results in this direction.
He finds that the substitution of cleo
tricity for steam on the railroads is
quite practicable and has many ad-
Vantages, although it will not bring
about any considerable reduction in
the cost of operating the roads. The
nve main railroads in Switzerland re-
quire over 10000 horse power daily.
In order to organize a complete cleo
trical service, it will be necessary to
obtain about $4,000 horsepower in the
shape of an alternating current of
hlgh tension. not counting the reserve
supply, which is indispensable. Not

Gated in separate schools. the boys to be
taught by men, the girls by women. In this
conclusion she was in line with the mature
opinions of the best educators of that period
and entirely in harmony with the prevail
ing opinions of the best thinkers in Indian
apolis, hence her marked success in later
years as a teacher of girls. Acting on this
conviction, the people of Indianapolis made
ample provisions for educating girls, with
only moderate provisions for the boys. The
old county seminary was almost the only
apology for school for boys. This was
supplemented by a few one-roomed school,
houses, built by private enterprise, but
these schools were mostly co-educational,
ana were patronized chiefly by the poorer
classes, as the numerous private schools in
church Easements and private rooms were
generally too expensive for them. The
first public enterprise in this direction was
undertaken by the Methodists, who formed
a joint stock association and bought lots
nine and ten in square forty-five at the
southeast corner of Meridian and Ohio
streets, for $3.50. There was a frame house
on the south end Of the lot on Meridian
street of seven or eight rooms. In this. In
October, 1850. the Rev. Thomas III. Lynch
opened the Indiana Female College" The
next year they built two-storied frame
structure on the corner for school rooms,
which yet stands with third story added.
The school was a success under Dr. Lynch
and successors until the general democrat
ization of business during the war caused
a suspension until business began to revive
in 1865. But, meanwhile, the public schools
were assuming such Importance that its
final closing became inevitable as 1t was
dependent chiefly upon local patronage, be-
cause the public schools elsewhere were
becoming so good as to do the local educat-
ing of girls.

both denominations for many years. and
which at the present time seems far from
being solved, is taxation. While they both
admit pupils free whenever the parents are
able, they required TO pay tuition.

and the Catholics pay theirs directly TO the

quired to pay a city school tax. they thus
undergo double taxation for school pur-

be reached to prevent this, for neither
denomination wants TO be under the control

prefer conducting their schools independent

have in England seems to be the only means
of overcoming this difficulty. and It is ex-
ceedingly doubtful whether this would meet

act were passed. In that country any re-
ligious denomination can start a school
