"Oh, We have some very strong men
in England" boosted the new arrival
from London.
How strong are they?" queried the
American citizen.
"Oh, I've seen them lift cannons,
trucks, and even cars"
Indeed! Then it is strange that
none of them can life such small OBJ

NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOLS.
From the Burlington (vt.l News.

From the Burlington (Vt.l News.
The newspapers are.being read in
the New York public schools. Ac-
cording to the plan, before the reg
ular routine of school work is taken
up for the morning, some twenty
minutes are given over to discus
sion of the leading news items from
all over the world as printed in the
morning papers. The teacher whose
duty is enlarged to obtaining and
glancing over a newspaper, writes
down on a blackboard so that his
pupils may see, topics ofimportance
which are explained amplified and
dilated upon by the pupils. 1t is
supposed that the preceptor is i'm
partial and gives what he believes
to be facts, without bias or editorial
comment. Personal prejudice of a
teacher instilled into the younger
mind by way of talk on daily news
might be harmful.
In the manner described the
young people are supposed to be
kept in touch with live topics of the
day, and the plan is reported as
very acceptable to the pupils, and
they are deeply interested in the
work of the busy world.

THE FAT THAT THINKS.
Harper's for May:

Harper's for May:
Still, it is a matter of some in
terest to know that there is a
substance, as chemically de6nable,
let US say, as cheese or anthracite
coal, which does our thinking. The
physical basis of thought and sem
sation is the brain and the nerves.
And the vital part of the brain and
the nerves seems to be highly
phosphorized fat, and without the
phosphorus this fat does not seem
to think.
The world of science was long
time accepting the notion of a
living substance, a chemically an
alyzable basis of life. Huxley's
celebrated "protoplasm" lecture did
much to reconcile mems minds to
this materialistic conception. But it
has heen a great deal harder to
bring man to conveive a thinking
substance form of matter, like
salt or sugar or gunpowder, whose
business it is to feel and think and
dream. To many the notion is
uncanny.

SENATE WILL INVESTIGATE.
Resolution to Inquire If President
 Roosevelt Accepted Favors.

Washington Special to N. o. Picayune. It Is said that the Democrats i'll the Senate will introduce resolution soon after Congress convenes demanding in formation about the alleged practice of President Roosevelt in obtaining and us- ing special trains and special cars from the service. The resolution has ben pre- pared, and only awaits discussion by the Democrats before 1t is put in final shape. It recites the fact that the public press of the country. and particularly a DOT ton of the Republican press of the coun- try, has openly charged that the Presi- cent paid none of the expenses of his trip to the Pacific Coast by special train. which lasted sixty-six days and covered 22,0OO miles at an enormous cost. but that these expenses of every kind. including wines. liquors and food. were paid by trc railroads over which the train ran. Continuing the resolution calls attention to the frequent other trips Of the Pres ident since he succeeded Mir. Mckinley. and then demands information as the ex- penses of these trips
 The reason for the resolution is the dis cussion aroused by the Pacific Coast trip. It Is stated in the preamble that 1t does not see credible to the Democrats at least of the Senate, that the President of the United States would accept com plimentary transportation and food and dr.nk and service from the railroads. and that the Senate desires to know If It's faith in President Roosevelt in this par ticular is unwarranted.

 In presenting the Mrs. Charles M. Schwab school building to this town yes- terday Charles M. Schwab, who up to short time ago was the president of the United States Steel Corporation, said he intends to emulate the example set by Andrew Carnegie, and give his entire fortune (variously estimated to be from a dozen to a score of millions) for ben evolent purposes.
 MT, Carnegie now the chief library and pipe organ builder, Is the man who took Mir Schwab from behind the counter Of the village store at Braddock and event uaily made, him the president of. the greatest corporation of the world. MT. Schwab, however. says he will give his fortune to- found, industrial schools and erect public school buildings where they are most needed. but least likely, with out his aid, to materialize.
 MT Schwab, in presenting the schoo named in honor of his wife, said the pub lie schools deserved in a great measure the credit for Americas industrial great ness They are the nuclei around which the greatest nation in the world has beer built To aid them, he said, is to aid this country and to make it greater ant better than it is to-day.
 For this reason he said he has decided to devote his entire fortune to the fur therance of education, and particularly industrial education. It Is his desire tha the public schools pay more attention to the various trades, and that in thic manner they may add to the country: army of intelligent and energetic artisans It was with this thought in mind tha he built and equipped at Loretto.

 ufacture of buggies, which has greatly increased within the last few years. has
 made great inroads on the supply. Ac-
 cording to the statements made by sev-

 not been able to meet the demand on the market on account of inability to secure , the raw product.
 The market price of green sawed nick ory is $30 per 1000 feet Manufacturers

It ia Claimed That They Have Been
 Discovered.
 City of Mexico Special.
 After long search in the National Li- brary of Mexico. and in trips of inves- tigation through ancient churches and residences of the city. 1t is thought the remains of Hernando Cortez. conoueror of Mexico. have been found. The bones of the invader. the urn In which they were deposited. a bust of the conqueror and the pedestal are at present in the house of Sebastian Aleman. an attorney a lineaI descendant of Cortez, near the Hospital of Jesus.
 The history of the discovery of the re- mains IS of the greatest interest AccoTo- ing to the ancient work of pr. Lucas Aleman, grandson of Cortez. caled DIS sertations on the History of Mexico From the Conquest to the Year 1858, the oooy was placed in the Hospital of Jesus which was founded by him in lo2s After wards an urn was made. In which the bones were placed and the whole ouiieo in the floor of the hospital. Above the burial spot a pedestal was placed ana on this a bust
 The pedestal was four feet in height, according to the work or Dr. Lucas AIe- man. and is easily identified as the same as That which stands in the house of &c., bastian Aleman. The bust Is recogniz- able as that ot cortez. although in bad condition.
 Other records say the remains of Cor tez. with the urn. pedestal and bust. were after the death of Pedro Aleman. in l629, transferred to Texcoco. where they were in charge of the Dukes of Monteleon.' In 1,S6 the third Duke of Monteleon had the remains taken to Italy. in which country the Duke had made his residence; but in lT94 they were brought back to Mexico by the fourth Duke and deposited in the Church of Jesus. which is attached to the hospital. In this church they were kept until 1924 when the revolution began.
 One night, when the revolutionists were almost in control of the City of Mexico, and 1t was feared that they might gain possession of the church. to seize the remains of Cortez and heap indignities upon them, Lucas Aleman and the Duke of Monteleon had them moved to place of safety and security. Both Aleman and Monteleon were subsequently, killed by the revolutionists. and 1t has until lately been believed that all knowledge of the location of the remains had died With them But before dying the Duke in- formed Dr. Fernando Canalis where the bones of the conqueror were hidden Dr. Canalis advised the surviving members of the family of Lucas Aleman as to the whereabouts of the remains and assisted in transferring them to the house of Ale aH where they rest

MT. Maxie D. Pepperman. special agent of the Travellers Insurance, received telegram yesterday notifying him that he was successful in the recent prize contest of that company.
 MT. Pepperman won in the class which gave to the ten agents in America who wrote the largest number of accident pol icies an invitation to attend the annual convention of the Travellers Insurance Company which will be held in Hartford, Conn.,. the home office of the Travellers This is not only a distinctive compli- ment to Mir. Pepperman, but to the peo- pie of Montgomery, as 1t shows that the Southern people appreciate the good of accident insurance as evidenced by a Montgomerian winning out along with agents in the large cities of the North. MT. Pepperman attributes his success not to his personal ability as an accident writer. but to the liberal contracts back ed up by the enormous security of the Travellers Insurance Company.
 Mir Pepperman will leave for Hartford early in October. adv.

SCARED BY EARTH RUMBLEs.
Hoosiel Farmers and Others Cannot Explain Mystery.

AHuldndpOlIS opeCIdl'
 Reports from the scene of mysterious rumblings in the earth near Morgan town. which have caused a number of Brown county farmers to desert their homes. are that the disturbances continue and that the territory affected is growing instead of decreasing.
 The people in the vicinity are greatly excited by the mysterious sounds and hundreds who live in other parts of the county and in Johnson and Morgan coun- ties are visiting the scene.
 State Geologist Batchley said to-day that he never has heard of similar case in Indiana, or in the United States for that matter. and Is unable to advance any plausible theory regarding the dis turbances. The only way to determine the cause of the noises. he said. will be to bore into the earth, but his office is not provided with funds for such an investigation. and he has advised persons whose lands are affected to make the experiment and report the result.
