Evansville Negro to be Tried.

Evansville, Ind, July S.-Acting
under of Judge Rasch, Sheriff Kratz
left secretly this evening for the Indi-
ana reformatory at Jacksonville to
bring back Lee Brown, the wounded
negro who killed Patrolman Massey
last Friday. It was this killing and
the desire Of the mob to lynch Brown
that preciptated the rioting here.
Brown was secretly removed to Vim
cennes early Sunday morning and from
Vincennes to the State prison.,at Jeffer-
sonville for safe keeping. How Sheriff
Kratz will bring the negro here and
what hour he will arrive will be kept
secret if possible.
The sheriff took with him one
deputy and DR.. Gilbert, who will try
to prevent the negro dying from the
bullet in his lung. If the negro shall
be successfully placed in Jail here,
his trial for the killing of Patrolman
Massey will be rushed through, and
unless a change of venue shall be
taken, the troops will be held here
until after the trial.

A Stander: on France.

Paris, July SIT has been stated
here in dispatches from Rome that
Cardinal Mathiu would, in the event
of the death of the Pope, claim for
France the right to exercise 'high
patronage" (the right to control) at
the conclave. The correspondent OF
the Associated Press made an inquiry
on the subject at the foreign Office
here and learned that the report was
untrue. No such instructions have
been sent to Cardinal Mathiu or to
any other Cardinal. The presence OF
Cardinal Mathiu at the Vatican is
due to the fact that he is member
of the Papal Government, which ne
cessitates his attendance under the
circumstances. His action is quite
INDEPENDENT of the French Govern
ment, which has not contemplated the
exercise of any influence over the con-
claye.

Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old

Use this great medicine regularly, and its invig-

what George F. Morse, 81 years old, writes:-
Wells & RICHARDSON Co.,
Genazewen just word in favor of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago had a combination of
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con-
tinued for year or more; meantime lost in
weight about 60 pounds, trying different medi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using little began to improve,
gaining about pound week. In a year !
had regained 5o>pounds of the lost weight and
good health, and have been well man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE F. MORSE.

The staff correspondent Of the Chi
cago Tribune. who has been down at
Indianola, Miss, studying the post
Office situation there, gives a some
what different version of why the
whites objected to Minnie Cox, the
negro postmistress, to that suggested
by several of our esteemed Mississippi
contemporaries. The Tribune man
says that the trouble "arose entirely
from the fact that the negroes got into
the habit Of congregating about the
postofice, although not one Of them
in q hundred had any business there,
and white women and children were
frequently made the objects Of IN
pleasant remarks by these postodfce
loungers. s.''

Taaehin' Lizzie Fiscal Torture

g,he Philadelphia Ledger publishes

sscism that have been received by
asafshers in the public school system

Kin make her jump.
Mrs. Canavowski. -
Me believe there is too much scatter
lng and smattering in the schools to-
day and too little attention TO the
foundation stones Of reading, spelling,
wiring and ciphering.
There may be some educational
1tility in giving child squint az
{ freehand drawing, a shy at physical
culinre, bluff at singing by note,
and half-score of other educational
sidslines, but We cannot get over the
idess-old fogey idea. perhaps-thaJ

smelling, reading, English compost
ton and grammar, which are essen
Sials.

This letter expresses the right idea
Of public school education, while
boards Of education, educational con-
Tensions, professional pedagogists even
SEEM TO have gone far astray. Fiscal
torf1re' or physical culture is an ad-
rnir,ble shing: nature study is good ;
clay modelling may serve useful
UurI,ose in it place; instruction in
Ehe avoidance of alcohol and scores OF
DEher things, OF themselves and IN

when these and many others are made
part OF the public school curriculum
at The expense OF sound and thorough
knowledge Of more important things
they become positive stumbling blocks
and nuisances. Lizzie needs other
ShiRgs more.

The outset, Theln's our sentiments. -
Yhe average child OF twelve years old

Eols prostration. and after ten months
Of coquetting with a dozen different
studies and departments can read and

teaching of reading, writing, spelling,

and not simply hearing the lessons"
that parents have had to spend hours

Nine. Humbert and her husband (the
other pair of culprits came off more
lightly betray very imperfect appre-
citation of it's nature. Five years re-
clusion, or solitary confinement as it
is understood in France, is not only
rigorous but a terrible penalty. Our
own code offers no parallel TO it and it
is probable that life sentence of penal
seryitude in this country would be far
more easily endured. The solitude Of
the prisoner in reclusion is all but alb
solute. The strictest silence is enforced.
Presumably the consultations of religion
whatever that may amount to in so
dreadful a situation-are not entirely
withheld; otherwise the prisoner is for
hidden to speak, even to his guardian.
Books are denied and (which must be

tomb, but it is more likely to end in
