School Records.
III the Pierce school. Eroollline, Mass.
he model school OF the United States,
Il record of each scholar is kept by the
well known card catalogue system
Each pupil is represented by a card
upon which is kept a record of his par
entaee and age: where he had attended
school previous to coming to the Pierce
school: who his teacher was and what
his rank was while at school. This
card is added to by the record of each
year until the scholar graduates from
school Even then its usefulness has
only commenced. 1t viii be retained as
record of his school life that may
become an important piece of testI-
mony to his future life and usefulness.
so far as is known this is the first in
stance in which the card catalogue
system is applied to the pupils at
school.
The scholars weekly record at this
school, or what in other words, is his
department. card. is also an interesting
feature in the school life of the pupil.
1t is embraced in Il little blank book
having pages to run through the year.
Upon the title-page of this little hand
book are the following explanations:
Excellent. gOod-indiCate commend
able progress; fair-paSses, but should
be promptly bettered; unsatisfactory,
pOor-do not promote" Then upon
each page is this blank form: Period
which the report covers; name of
scholar; number of days absent; num-
be- of days tardy; conduct; studies;
subjects which need special attention:
parents signature. When this book is
filled out it becomes Il weekly record
Of the child'S life at school. 1T prompts
each studous, thoughtful pupil to do
his best. If the conduct is reported I'M
satisfactory. or if the pupil is de-
ficent in any branch, or if there is
want of some attention to one thing,
it is known by the parent who is not
likely to sign the same until the report
reaches somewhere near fair ana
reasonable standard. It's whole object
is to help the scholar to do his best.
rhe plan is one that might be adopted
by other schools to advantage.

DID THEIR MONEY SAVE
GREENE AND GAYN0R?
Legislature of Quebec May Have a
Look Into the Matter.


Quebec. Que, March 1.-The success
full fight made by Col. Gaynor and
Capt. Greene against eXtradition pro-
ceedings instituted last summer by the
State Department at Washington will
be the subject of an Interpolation in
the Provincial Legislature.
L. P. Pelletier, former Attorney
General, has given notice that on Mon
day he will ask the following ques-
tons:
HAS the assistance given by the
provincial police to Messrs. Gaynor
Greene, fugitives from justice from the
United States, been so given with the
knowledge and consent of the govern
ment?
who represented the government,
and more particularly the Attorney
Generals department, in the extradi-
tion proceedings with respect to
Messrs. Greene and Gaynor?"
When Greene and Ghynor were ar
rested last summer under sensational
circumstances and hurried down to
Montreal on board a tug boat by
Chief Detective Carpenter and United
States secret service men. counsel for
the American fuGitivess gave chase in
a special train and made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to intercept the tug.
Legal proceedings ensued at Montreal
and GaynOr and Greene We're finally
brought back to Quebec and released.
During all the proceedings counsel
for the fugitives were accompanied by
provincial constables, who were under
control of the Attorney Generals de-
partment. There was feeling at the
time that the local and provincial au-
thorities We're not doing all in then
power to assist the representatives OF
the State Department in their efforts to
take Greene and Gaynor back to Geor-
gia for trial. The discussion of the
case on the floor of the Legislature will,
1t is expected, produce some interesting
debate.

KNAPP SHOWS A
TRACE OF REGRET.
Seemed Sorry for the Murders He
Has Committed.

Seemed Sorry for the Murders He
Has Committed.
Hamilton, O., March 1-Alfred
Knapp exhibited to-day the first evil
dence of regret since his arrest. 1t
followed the visit for the purpose of
identification of Herman Littleman of
Cincinnati, father of the victim of
Knapp's first murder in Cincinnati. Mr..
Littleton failed to recognize Knapp as
anyone he ever saw before, apd as he
turned away Knapp expressed peni-
tence for the crime, while tears stood
in his eyes.
Although convicted of minor offenses,
Knapp was never charged with capt.
tai offense until his brother-in-law last
week started an investigation With
all the charges of incendiarism, rob
berry and other crimes, it is conceded
that his predominant trait is that of
brutality. Two of his terms in peni-
tentiaries were. for criminal assaults
that were not followed by murders.
The officers say he allured his vic
tins to secluded spots before stran-
Cling them, and that his elaboration
is shown in his precaution made to
evade detection.
Knapp does not use tobacco in any
drinker. He is quite a reader, and is
kept supplied with magazines and
books, but is not allowed to see news

business will have to be transacted in
the face of every obstacle which the
minority can interpose.
But even by the laborious processes
to which the majority will be put, it is
believed ample time remains to get
through the conference reports on the
renaiinng five appropriation bills.
There is slim chance for much beyond
this so far as the House is concerned.
Twenty-seven bills with Senate amend
ments are on the Speakers table. One
or two of these may get through, but
the great majority are doomed to die
where they are.
The one bill in which the Republican
leaders are particularly interested is
the Aldrich financial bill, and If it
comes over from the Senate, a way
will be found, probably through the OPP
GRAFTON of a special rule. to secure ac-
ton on 1t The complications arising
out of the fact that a hostile commit
tee, that on Banking and Currency, has
jurisdiction over the subject can be
overcome by rule. 1t is believed the
Immigration bill which passed the SEN
ate yesterday in an amended form will
also be acted upon.
One of the things which gives the
Republican leaders grave concern in
these closing hours of the session, is
the weakness of the position of the
| House conferees on the appropriation
| bills. With the present tie-up in the
House the House conferees cannot go
back to the House for Instructions
without a complete agreement. except
at the price of great risk and delay
The Senate conferees have not been
slow to take advantage of this situa-
ton, 1t is said, and believing that the
| House Is at their mercy. they are in
| slsting on propositions which the House
conferees say they would be forced to
abandon If the House could be appealed
to to uphold the hands of its represen-
! tatiVes.

and George Collins were arrested here
to-day by officers of a detective agency
and the Hartford police. The men are

ing. About $4,000 in money and $780,
600 in securities were stolen.

The detectives got Collins without
any trouble on the street. and then two
of them went into the room where Ru-
do1ph was with revolvers drawn. Ru-
dolph reached under his overcoat for
his gun, but Detective Dougherty was
upon him before he could pull it. The
men had a struggle while the Hartford
detective tried to get the gun away
from Rudolph Dougherry was bitten
in the neck. Detective Farrell finally
got the gun away from Rudolph when
a man in the house went to Rudolph's
assistance. thinking the detectives were
trying to hold him up. The woman of
the house told the man who the off,
GERS We're. and then he helped them.
Rudolph had about $500 on him. In
the rooms occupied by the men were
found three large revo1vers. a bag Of
cartridges and skeleton keys and a
large quantity of clothing. In all 49,

ON F0WLER'S BILL

committee Says of II.

committee Says of II.
Washington. March 1.-The House
Committee on Banking and Currency
to-day, by a vote of to "a strict
party vote-authorized a favorable re-
port on the currency bill introduced
yesterday by Representative Fowler,
chairman of the committee In re-
porting the bill, the committee says:
I'm addition to providing for the is
sue and circulation of national bank
notes, the object of this measure is to
Immediately put back into circulation
any money the government may coll
lect through its customs receipts, as
well as through its collection from in
ternal revenue.
THE available cash balance now in
the treasury is 1922, 466,S7s OF this
amount there is now in national bank
depositaries $15O,147, 425, leaving net
balance in the treasury of $71994, i54.
If we deduct $50,O0O.O0O as a necessary
working balance for the treasury, we
shall have only $21,994,454 to meet the
demand ON the treasury growing out of
| the Panama transaction, which will
| call for $50.O0O,OO0 1t is. therefore, ev-
ident that the government will not
have any additional money to deposit
with national banks for the next six
or eight months.
1.-THE effect of this provision will be,
within the next few months, certain
ly within a year, to release the total
amount of bonds now deposited to Sc
cure government deposits, viz: $685.
100000 of government bonds and $22,-
100000 of state and other bonds. now
held by the treasury in addition there
to as security for such deposits. The
bonds so released may then be used
by the banks for further increasing
their bond secured circulation, which
will undoubtedly be much needed dur
ing the coming fall months"

Rome. March. DIR. Lapponi, the
Pope's physician, made this morning
last effort to induce His Holiness

saying, Your Holiness, my duty is to
point out that your health would great

The Pope replied: MY dear Doctor,

The audience was held in the Pope's
private library, and Leo XIII spoke
continuously for half an hour with AZ
cardinals present.
No address was delivered and the
most important words were when the
Pontiff referred with emphasis to his
advanced age and approaching end

RUSSIAAND TURKEY
MAY HAVE A WAR.
In Russia There is Talk of Extreme
Measures,

Measures.
st. Petersburg, Saturday, Feb. Is
(Via German frontier, March 1)-Some
publicists are of the opinion that only
the strongest language to Turkey can
prevent war between Russia and Tur-
key in the spring. They believe that
Turkey will pursue bands of Macedon-
ian revolutionists across the Bulgarian
frontier and that public opinion will
compel Russia to interfere.
The Russians thoroughly understand
that war with Turkey will be more
severe one than that of 1873. officers
are quoted as saying that the Turkish
army is the best in the world, owing
to it's German organization and arma-
ment. There is an inclination here to
anticipate German financial support
of Turkey, and, in view of the situa-
ton, forebodings of a clash with Tur-
key are freely expressed in private,
although they are carefully suppressed
in the newspapers.

Evangelist at Atlanta Against Uni

was created at a religious meeting at
the Bijou Theater this afternoon when
Rev. George Campbell Morgan, success
sor to Evangelist Dwight L. Moody,
announced that he would refuse to
take any part in the joint evangelical
meetings here during Lent, if the Uni
tarians and Universalsts were to take
part in them. He declared he would
refuse to serve in conducting meetings
with any one who denies the divinity
of Christ and salvation through him.
1t appears the ministers of Atlanta
of all denominations have arranged a
series of services during Lent, and
Rev. Mr. Morgan came to aid in con-
Quoting them. His announcement Gre
ated somewhat of a stir in the audi
ence.
Then ex-Gov. Northen read a state
ment from DIR. w. w. Landrum of the
First Baptist Church, expressing the
ideas and tenets of the evangelical
ministers who have arranged the
meetings. III tHlS SldleIllSllI the ulNll-

statement was lived up to, he would
consent to go on with the work here.
DR.. McGlauilin of the Universalist
Church said tonight that the commit

any such statement. He said ne and

point, the gauge marking "a feet.
The water covers an area of ten
miles in the Arkansas lowlands, oppo-
