Railroad riding is altogether
too luxurious nowadays, says
Galusha A. Grow, the venerable
Pennsylvania who will retire
from public life with this con-
gress. The comforts of modern
travel are all very we'll, he adj
mits, but they have robbed him
of his medicine. In the old
days of crooked lines and jolly
cars, it he felt that his liver
was becoming torpid he jumped
on a train and rode to New
York. The shaking up he re-
ceived in a few hours run was
sufficient remedy. He still tries
the same cure, but maintains
that the beneficial results have
diminished in ratio correspond
ing with improvements which
have been introduced.

pa.

been touched for a roll of bills
amounting to about $25. He
accused his chance acquaintance
and several arrests were made
by the police, but as no evil
dence could be secured to con-
vict any of them all were dis
missed. All concerned in the
affair were transients.

POINTS PLEADS FOR PEACE
Tells Philosophical society of the Bad
Features and had Effects
of War.

]. ] Points, at the meeting of the Phil
osophical society Sunday afternoon de-
livered an address on Peace, and War"
He said that all of the progress of which
the world can boast is the result of peace,
during which alone can exist these har-
monIous relations between men which pro-
duce advancement in art philosophy and
science that commerce, the great pacifier,
is the one thing to which the people now
can look to make wars impossible; that
as people become acquainted they realize
the brotherhood of man and hold in higher
respect those who are not identical with
them in manner of life and thought. He
said that while some progress has been
made by nations while at war, 1t was only
during foreign war which made pos
sible conditions Of peace at home. under
which this progress was made.
He disagreed with Tolstoi and other
writer's who preach the doctrine Of nom
resistance and said that under one con-
dition at least war is justifiable. and that
is when after exhausting all attempts at
peaceabIe arbitration. nation is invaded
and threatened with loss OF power and
territory, and the people denied opportunity
for evolution On this basis the wars OF
the revolution and of the rebellion in the
United States could be justified.
In conclusion, he said that he is op-
posed to war on the grounds. first, that It
substitutes might for right In the settle
nent of questions; second, that war is
always destructive and never constructive;
third. because of the evil effects upon those
engaged In 1t, especially the common sol

WISH FEWER REGULATIONS
Omaha Teachers Encourage Board TO
Reduce Number of Periods
to Five.

At the next meeting of the Board Of
Education the high school committee prob
ably will report a resolution for a change
in the study hours at the high school to
restore the recitation time to five periods
in place of six, at present.
The committee recently held a meeting
with the heads Of the departments and
the teachers at the high school for the
purpose of ascertaining their opinion OF
the proposed change, and the result was
that every person connected with teaching
at the high school favored the hve-recita-
ton periods. The principal objection to
the six periods is that IT gives the teachers
insufficient time between the periods. Each
period OF recitation takes forty-five minutes,
which, under the six-period system, keeps
the teacher in the recitation room for four
hours and thirty minutes out of the total
of six hours of school, while under the
five-period system they would be in the
recitation room three hours and forty-fve
minutes. The teachers before the commit
tee said they find it impossible to do the
work as 1t should be done when they are
compelled to hear classes without having
enough time between to give the teacher
an opportunity to recover from the strain
of the preceding recitation that in order
to secure the best results they must attract
and hold the attention of the class during
the entire time of recitation and that after
the morning hours this is impossible be-
cause of the weariness .occasioned by the
strain of frequent recitations.
The six-period system has been in vogue
in the high school but a comparatively
short time. and the change would be but
a return to the method which obtained for
several years.
There is some question as to the fate Of
the resolution in the meeting of the board.
The high school committee is not absolutely
unanimous on the resolution at this time
and it is expected that II will meet with
some lively opposition when 1t is called up
for consideration. The president of the
board, Theodore johnson, favors the fewer
periods, because of the expression OF the
teachers. He said yesterday that these
teachers and heads of departments, all
being in favor of the change, demonstrated
to him that they would do better work
under that plan than under the present
one, and that the heads of the departments
should have their ideas carried out as far
as possible, as they are held responsible
for the results obtained in the school and
were more familiar with the conditions
than the most attentive member of the
Board of Education could be.

COIN WITH A STRING TO IT
How Two Jokcrs Fooled the PasR-
ersby ON Fifteenth street
Last Evening.
'cllnk, cllnk, ting-a-ling-ling."

"Clink, clInk, ting-a-ling-ling."
Mandy, peahs to me somebody dun loss
some money round heah. I'm gwine to
look round and see eff Use ben teched." "
And with that two buxom colored mat
rons instituted a vigorous search on the
stone pavement in front of the Karbach
block on Fifteenth street last night for
the elusive coin they had heard drop. They
looked long and we'll despite the inter-
mittent showers and every once in a while
were confused and even annoyed at repe-
titions of the sound, but they could not
locate the money.
Does seem powful strange me and you
CANT find dat money when 1t peahs to
be falling all round us, Mandy" presently
remarked the old woman whose curiosity
was first aroused.
Finally the search was given up or Mt
least temporarily abandoned and the coll
ored women walked on down to the corner
Of Fifteenth and Douglas, deciding to await
developments. Meantime they had ran
sacked their own and each others gar
ments to see II 1t was possible that any
leaks had been sprung in any Of their
iscal repositories.
The sound OF the metallic coin again was
heard on the sidewalk. The colored women
by this time had begun to think strange
thoughts. They knew the money did not
fall from their purses and they didn't ex-
actly feel right about the matter. However,
they started back to the spot, but were
beaten to it by a real tidy young person
and his lady fair.
''Oh. say, Maude. beg pardon, but
quite believe I have dropped some money,
casually remarked the dapper youth, as
he stopped to the pavement, pretending not
to see the colored women a few yards
away.
TITS deucedly awkward, Maude deah, for
q fellah to drop his money around like that.
but. by Jove. just for the satisfaction OF
the thing mot for the money at alb
think shall keep on till ! find the bloom
ing stun"
Maude was beginning to show signs OF
impatience. The suspense and anxiety OF
the two colored matrons had about reach I'd
the breaking point and a couple OF inter-
ested spectators across the street were rap
idly losing control Of themselves when.
'clink-cIink" went the money again and
a merry "ha-ha" rang out from one OF the
fourth story windows of the building above
There II is. on the end of the string, "
cried one of TIE fellows in the window,
as he lowered the coin to the bewildered
bewitched and irate young person of the
beau monde.
He said naught.
She spoke but her words were inartic-
ulate. They sounded like, How very re-
freshing are these April showers"
