ENGLISH REcToR's COMPLAINT.
Declares Proficiency in Games Is
Put Ahead of Every Other Con
sideration at the Fashion
able Girls Schools.

HERALD AND THE s Louis REPCBLIc
London. April 1S.-CCopyright, Is03)-The
Daily Express and the Daily Mail have
been publishing a series of letters condemn
ing the modern tendency of fashionable
schools for girls. 1t is declared they place
proficiency in games before everything
else. on rector of the Church Of England
says it IS difficult TO distinguish between
the letters written by his barbarian. sons
and those by his daughters. as both are
full Of hockey. cricket and football terms.
Both equally reek OF slang.
There is. he says, the same interest in
matches, the same journeys of teams to
other schools. the same pursuits and. as q
result. the same t~echnicaIities. also the
same slang.
Mary - is a ripping bowler Nellie
- is a ripping forward etc. Not one OF
them. or their friends, but knows what the
hat trick means. Why. sir. when I went to
see my third girl last year 1 found girls
in padded gloves playing to the bowling Of
a male professional.
While on this subject. it is interesting to
know what Queen Alexandra thinks OF the
modern tendency in girls. a society writer
says that privately the Queen d~isapproves
and expresses her disapprovaI of the ultra
athletic girl and Of the manner in which
the modern girl emulates freedom of the
American type.
But her keenest condemnation is reserved
for the married woman who struts upon the
amateur stage with the airs OF a profess
sional actress and who shows an unwom-
anly taste for masculine parts and Of alb
breviated dresses. Her ideal woman is more
domesticated. a blend Of the perfect house
keeper of a generation before the last and
an accomplished Blue Stocking.
At the present day, IL may be pertinent
to recall the fact that it was the Kings
Illness that upset plans for the Kings and
Queens visit to Chatwood House, where
the principal entertainment the Duke and
Duchess of 4evonshire had prepared for
the royal guests was private theatricals,

the big mills and they practtced pinch
ing and pocketing gold and silver
amalgam. a few pounds at q time. un-
til In the course Of years time they
had stolen and carried away over one
hundred thousand dollars worth. How
TO market their goods was a problem.
Comstock bullion had an identity Of its
own and any offered for sale outside Of
the regular channels would arouse
suspicion and might result in detec-
ton. In this dilemma they took Ras
cal Number Three into partnership.
Rascal Number Three had a few thou
sand dollars capital. There was a bank
rupt mining corporation called the
Hornet that owned an abandoned mine
and a dismantled flve-stamp mill IN
decayed mining district about forty
miles from where the stolen bullion
was hidden. Rascal Number Three
was a skillful metallurgist and miner.
Ae bought up the Hornet stock for a
trifle and took possession Of the prop
erty. With a far night Journey he
transported the bullion IN spring
wagon to the old mill Then he re-
opened the Hornet mine and with the
aid Of the two thieves refltted the mill
and began crushing the ore. There
was some silver in the Hornet ore and
to the actual yield the conspirators
added a portion OF the stolen bullion
until IL all was marketed. While this
was in progress. the continual yield
from the Hornet gave it's stock a mar
ket value and II was fed to the public
at gradually advancing prices. 1t was
estimated that the three clever rascaIs
cleaned up a hundred thousand dol
lars each.

Few thousand uoIIars TO spare, / con-
cluded to rid myself of both by a trip
to Europe. In Paris I received let
ter from a banker in q mining town
where my home had been, inclosing
Quitclaim deed to him of a one-third
interest in the Kempton mining claim.
and saying that if l would sign 1t
could draw on him for $500. did not
know Of any such claim, or Of owner
ship of any mining claim in that dis
trict, and / did not think 1t safe to
take the money, so wrote him brief
Iy, declining the offer, giving no rea-
son for my declination and stating that
/ would soon be back. Some months
afterward on my return to my former
home the same gentleman called on
me, told me that the mine was look
ing better and offered me $4,000 for my
interest. I said l would look into 1t
and let him know In a few days. I
visited the district where the mine was,
searched the records and found my
name along with those OF one Kempton
and one Hamilton signed to a notice Of
location OF the Kempton mining claim.
1 did not know either Of these gentle
men and inquiry developed the fact
interest to my banker friend some
months before and that Kempton was
dead and Hamilton had left the Terri
tory. l interviewed the banker and
stated the facts to him and
agreed to accept $4,000 for any interest
/ might have In the mining claim. pro-
vided he would sign an agreement that
] had sold with the understanding that
did not know whether ! was the per-
son whose name was in tho location or
whether 1t was another Of the same
name. He accepted my offer and paid
the money.
Years afterward q man came into
my ONCE and invoked my services In
some litigation In which he was in
volved and suggested that he had once
turned q lot OF water on my wheel by
locating me In q mining claim II
seems that my locator had backed a
utigant in q case where had been en-
ployed on the other side and be was a
witness and was severely handled and
his friend lost the case and he remem-.

they concluded to locate me therein. so
