NORTH AND SOUTH.

At the Southern Education Con-
ference. in Richmond, last week,
one of the principal addresses was
that of DR.. st. Clair McKelway. of
the Brooklyn Eagle. whose theme
was North and South" After
declaring that the contemporary
North Is in sympathy with the
contemporary South" and that
the young captains and the young
soldiers of industry refuse no rev
erence TO the veterans of the civil
war on either side, but the men of
this generation are determined to
run it, >" DR.. McKelway laid down
these propositions, which he elabo-
rated in the cleareSt and most ear
nest terms.
The sons will preserve and
magnify the fame of their fathers,
but they will not foster or fight
again their feuds. since the fathers
themselves an illustrious and a pa
thetically thinning band, long ago
renowned rancor and dissolved
differences. Let people that may
do otherwise, but the electives,
both of the North and of the South,
to-day believe in factories quite as
much as in pantheons, in
energy more than in in
quests, and in school houses more
than in graves. \ spent quarre
not of our making and not OF
yours shall not be revived or re
worked TO the unmaking of either
of us. We will finally honor tn,
shades of our ancestors, but W,
will not cut ourselves among thei
tombs. We will honor as children
their parents the survivors of tn
struggle between the States"
Striking declarations in his ad
dress were:
Better decade of love and O
peace than cycle Of the mutiIa
tons and of the memories of
civil war And. with us tn
tide of truth and of manhood ha
risen higher among the people tina
among the managing politicians
There has been a manifest and a
overwhelming revolt against tn
lowering conception of public in
teligence by beaten bosses, by mis-
leading leaders, by discomfitte
demagogues, and by strande
cranks.
In closing he said
"Fellow-citizens, let us remen

derivation and destiny. Let us b
thankful that in the baptism O
blood all serious causes of division
and reproach were purified away

Ituruisttc Instinct.

The strength OF the linguistic instinct
in children is shown by the remark
able shifts they will make to find forms
OF expression for their perception or
feelings. An examination OF these
shifts will show that the energy OF the
child manifests itself along precisely
the same lines as have been taken by
the languages OF the races OF man
kind toward their ultimate forms.

Grassini. the great Italian singer,
was very much interested in the young
girls among her relatives and always
ready to encourage any talent she could
find in any OF them. One day a novice
was brought to her with the unpromis-
ing words. ''She is a spoiled contralto
and. will never do anything on the
stage" But the singer listened while
the young girl began her frightened
trills. when suddenly Grassini caught
her in her arms with delight. why,
you are not a contralto," she said. "but
the finest soprano in the world. Your
voice Is far stronger than mine. Study
well. You want none of my help.
There Is rich bank In your throat"

Follow This Recipe and You VIII
Have One Complete.
The classical garden. like n sonnet. is
governed 10y special laws OF harmony
and rhythm 1t must have its FIVE
hills. its ten trees and its fourteen
stones. You can get along without the
hills. and you can get along without
the trees. but you cannot get along
without stones. Indeed the perfect
type OF the Hat garden is nothing but
an archipelago Of rocks in sea OF
white pebbles. The stones must be
the foundation; the rest are mere ac-
cesSorieS. Speaking stones are what
is wantod-stones that suggest moods
and paSsions-fOr the Japanese recog-
nize that there are sermons in stones.
Each stone has it's name and relatiye
place i'm the composition. There is
the guardian stone i'm the center and
opposite IL the hclleview stone. Across
the cascade is the moOnshade stone
and SO on.
The hills unmask each other by rule.
The principal hill has its two foothills.
its spur hills. its distant peak. seen
through valley. and the low hill that
must stand on the opposite side OF the
lake.
As there are n principal stone and n
principal hill. SO must there be ''prin-
cipal tree" the shojin boku. around
which the Tree or Perfection, the Tree
OF Evil. the Tree OF the Setting sun.
the Tree of Science and the Tree OF
Solitude bow their lesser heads.
These are the essentials. Now. add

Heirs Of George Rapp Claim
Conspiracy In Sale Of Lands.
THEY ASK FOR s2,5oo,ooo
The Contestants Declare That The Proceed
Ings Were for Private Gain and
Hint al Bribery.

Pittsburg. May 27.-Alleging conspiracy.
a sensational suit will be filed by George
c. Buell.. a lawyer. OF New York. against
the Harmony society. John 8. Duss. the
orchestra leader; Mrs. Duss. Christine
Schoneman. aged so: Barbara Bosch, aged
SO. and Franz Gilman. aged 81. surviving
members OF the Harmony society; the
American Bridge company. the Union
company. the Liberty Land company and
Commonwealth Real Estate and Trust
company. for participating In the sale of
5000 acres OF land at Economy. for which
deed was recently filed in Beaver
county for s2.5oo,ooo.
The plaintiffs are G. L. Rapp. keyport
n. J.; Mrs. Ada Everitt. Jersey City; Mrs
Louisa r. Tyron and Mrs. Eliza b. Mum,
Rayonne. y. j.; Mrs Jessie Wright and
Mrs. Christine Rodgers, New York and
Mrs Carrie Hudson OF Chicago, all col
lateral heirs of George Rapp, founder or
the Harmony society. The bill Is left
open for other heirs OF members OF the
society to join In the proceedings.
The plaintiffs will ask the court TO set
aside deeds and conveyances OF the prpp-
~
veyance can be made except upon the dis
solution Of the society. This claim Is
based on the dissenting opinion OF Chief
Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer In a
former suit against John Duss by Chris
tian Schwartz. that the court should have
taken up the question whether the so
ciety had dissolved. in which case there
should be a division OF the property. and
the standing OF the petitioners then de-
cided The bill will allege conspiracy on
the part of the defendants, IL being al
legged that Duss inaugurated the former
suits against himself TO establish a color
of validity to his action 10 dispose of the
property.
II will also be alleged that in addition
to the sale price OF $500. 900 for the prop
erty John Duss Is to receive 81, 500, 900 as a
bonus for disposing OF the land TO the
Liberty Land company and the American
Bridge company; that the land is laid
out in lots and being advertised for sale.
and that the Union Land company and
the Liberty Land company. the seller and
| buyer of the property. are merely cats
| paws being manipulated for private gain.
Knox g. Reed. attorneys for the Ameri-
can Bridge company. said the firm had
examined the title TO the property and
had taken such suits into account and did
not anticipate that the supreme court will
reverse itself.
