OFTEN A WASTE OF TIME
Prof. Perrin on the Uselessness Of
Too Many College Educa-
tions.

Boston. Feb. o5.-The students of Bos-
ton university are discussing a talk which
Professor Marshal l.. Perrin Of the uni
versity gave to his class on the subject
Of Unfortunately sending boys and girls
to college
According to the noted educator a
great mistake is made by those parents
who knowing that their children lack
brains. still think that they can have
them trained to lives of usefulness by
pachir;: them off to university. DR..
Perrin declared that careful Judgment
should be used in choosing between prac-
ttcal instruction and higher education,
Among other things he said many a boy
would do better to stick to the black
smith shop and many a girl to the mill
linery trade. Too many feel that going to
college Is going to- redeem their lives.
II sometimes ruins them. Some people
are no good in college, but all right in
other lines. 1t is much better to be a
successful laborer than a tenth-rate min
lister. a fifteth-rate lawyer or a petty
school marn."

WEIDENFIELD SUSPENDED
The Peter Power Broker and His
Fake Suits. - " :.

New York, Feb. 25.-Camile Weiden-
field, a member of the stock exchange
since 1890. was found guilty of acts "det-
rimental to the welfare and interest of
the exchange and was suspended for one
year. This decision was reached unani-
mously by the governing committee al
ter an executive session which lasted al
most six hours. during the greater part
of which time Weidenfeld was under ex-
amina ton. .~.7
The other witnesses before the commit

ert r. Linburger Of this city, all Of
whom appeared as counsel or attorneys
In the Peter Power Northern Pacific liti-
cation and Of which to days proceedings
were the outgrowth.
The nominal complainant at the trial
was William Mcclure, secretary of the
exchange. The exact character Of the
charges and specifications against Wei
denfeld were not disclosed. but it was &C
copied as a matter Of fact that Weiden-
field was regarded as the author and in
stigator Of the Peter Power suits and THAI
the stock exchange believed these suits
to be conceived in bad faith. -.

u.s. his wife remarked obviously.
.she dare not, was the reply. From
her we have nothing whatever to fear. AS
long as you keep up the appearance of
deep mourning, are discreet in all your
actions, and exercise proper caution on
the occasions when we meet our secret
must remain hidden from all.
But I am doubtful of Ethelwynn. A
woman as fondly In love with man as
she is with Ralph is apt to throw discre-
tion to the winds" the woman observed.
"Recollet that the breach between them
is on our account, and that a word from
her could expose the whole thing, and at
the same time bring back to her the man
for whose lost love she is pining. 1t Is
because of that am in constant fear."
Your apprehensions are utterly ground

"She's the only other person in the secret
besides ourselves, but to betray US would
be fatal to her.
"She may consider that she has made

."Then all the greater reason why she
should remain silent. She has her reputa-
ton to lose by divulging."
| BY this argument she appeared only hall
convinced, for I saw upon her brow
heavy thoughtful expression, similar to

her at dinner. The reason of her constant

sister might give me the clue to her secret.
That a remarkable conspiracy had been
in progress was now made quite plain,
and further-one very valuable fact 1 had
ascertained was that Ethelwynn was the
only other person who knew the truth,
and yet dared not reveal it.
This man who stood before me was
old Mr.. Courtenay, without doubt. That
being so, who could have been the unfor-
.tunate man who had been struck to the
heart so mysteriously?
So strange and complicated were all
| the circumstances, and SO cleverly had
the chief actors in the drama arranged
it's details, that Courtenay himself was
convinced that for others to learn the
truth was utterly impossible. Yet 1t was
more than remarkable that he sought moi
to disguise his personal appearance if he
! wished to remain dead to the world. Per.

Washington. Feb. e5.-The Indianola
(Niss) postoffice case occupied the major
portion Of the senate yesterday Mr.. Till
man spoke for three hours. - .'-'
He referred to the cost in lives and
money on account of the ace problem in
this country. and. addressing the repub
lican side, he called on them to meet him
'upon the same plane Of patriotism Of
race pride and civiliza ton and not fall
into the pitiful cesspool Of partizan poll
ties He added that the people of the
north have no more use for the negro in
close quarters than he had. He cited in
stances of assaults by negroes on white
women, and declared that the more the
northern people find out about the negro
the less use they have for him. The bal
lot of the negro. he maintained, was a
menace to good government, and the peo-
pie of the north coming to realize that
the acknowledgment of him bordered on
a. crime.
Reverting to the presidents utterance

hope and opportunity In the case Of a

sentiment, but he inquired if it ever oc-

door of hope it might not be shut in the

had been closed by bayonets to the

eminent ran riot, with an abominaton in
the sight Of man presiding over the state.
He declared that he did not hate the
negro and, that all negroes are not bad.
Only a small percentage were bad, and
these, he said, are leading the rest and
being patted on the bacy by politicians. 80
He regarded it as his duty,he said,to his
state to stand forever opposed to any
idea Of political or social equality on the
part Of the negro with the whites.
The purpose Of those who indorse the

THE WANDER
ING BOY

There Is an important lesson In
the following item for the boys of
today, who are thinking of clan
destineiy leaving their homes and
their mothers.
An old time favorite topical song
was entitled Where Is my Wan
deriug Boy Tonight 1t was a
mothers plant over the fate OF a
loved, but erring son, whose way.
ward steps had led him from the
parental roof Into unknown paths.
A sad answer Is furnished to the
question embodied In the song
by the residents of Durand, Mich.
which states that business houses
closed for an hour on Tuesday,
while funeral services were held
over the bodies of 10 unknown and
unclaimed victims of the collision
at that place between two sections
of a circus train. Several OF the
bodies had been identified by the
surviving circus men, but the vic
TINS homes, and even their right
names, were unknown.
Every one of these unidentified
victims was the son of some moth =
er who, If she still survives, Is
probably asking the question with
tears: Where Is my wandering boy
tonight" And with the question
doubtless goes the earnest prayer
that the wandering boy may return
safely to his home. Ten of these
wandering boys, who have indeed
now gone home, were laid to resi-
In the little Michigan town yester
day, far from their mothers ant
their friends, but let US hope really
nearer to them than In the days
when they wandered from home.

Yesterday the indictments
against Capt. J. H. Pine were called
for trial. Hunt & Staples appeared
for Mr.. Pine and J. II. Strickling
made the principal fight for the
State and City. There are only
three indictments against Pine, two
for forgery and the third for max
Ing false records and changing puo-
lie records. On one of the indict-
ments for forgery the court sustain
ed the demurrer and quashed the
indictment on account of the word
"false" having been left out In
writing the indictment. This
morning a jury was called to try
the Indictment for forging the
order to Bently & Gerwig, of Par.
kersburg. The order was issued
to pay small bill for furniture
purchased for the use of the
city from the above firm. The bill
was read, ordered paid but when
the order returned instead OF being
for a few dollars 1t had been raised
to something like $3.50. 1t Is for
raising the amount of this order
that Mr.. Pine Is now on trial. If
he Is found guilty the penalty Is
from two to ten years In the peui-
tentiary.

THE PINE CASE

we are also Informed that today
a number of witnesses were sent
before the grand jury for the pur-
pose of having q lot Of additional
Indictments found against Mr..
Pine.
In the court room Capt. Pine Is
apparently the most unconcerned
person present. He Is looking re-
markably we'll for him and listens
to the arguments of the attorneys
for and against him, apparently as
though he was not at all interested
in the case. He insists he IS not
guilty, In talking to outside parties
and when the time comes for him
to testify he can and will explain
all of the decrepencies to the entire
satisfaction of the judge, jury and
people.
When the Pine case was called
this morning the attorneys for the
defendant moved to quash the ven
Ire or summons for the petit jurors
for this term of court. 1t appears
that no venire order was issued At
all and the court sustained objection
and there will be no civil cases
tried by jury this term of court,
An especial Jury, however, Is being
summoned to hear Capt. Pines
case which will be up tomorrow.
