RECKLESS BICYCLING
Young Man in Court To- Day-NO Case
 Against Fairfield.

Charles Dominic was arrested last night on charge of evading responsi- bility. It is said that he was riding bicycle on South Main street last night and that he ran into a child near the bridge below the Benedict & Burne ham concern, knocking the child down.A Instead of stopping to inquire as tok the girls condition Dominic mounted his bicycle and rode at a fast clip up South Main street to Meadow street, to Bank street, along Bank street to Wards flats. But he was followed all the way by a boy, James Degnan, who was also riding a bicycle. Degnan, who lives on Riverside street, was a star witness. He testified about see ing Dominic knock the child down, of his remounting his bicycle and riding away without seeing how badly he had injured the child, who was Bessie Riley of Washington street. Degnan told of his following Dominic to Brook lyn and Of finding Police Officer Der gin there and of having Dominic ar- rested. Dominic denied the charge and stated that he did not hit any person with his bicycle. Dominic speaks poor English and was making little headway with his testimony and the services of an interpreter were being sought when Judge Burpee ad- journed the case until tomorrow mornA ing. Judge Burpee and Attorney Rus sell, counsel for the accused, had an interesting discussion in regard to an interpreter Attorney Russell asked that the state furnish an interpreter
 Judge Burpee replied: eff he can't talk to us he must bear the responsi- bility."
 Mir Russell: But we would like to see justice done"
 Judge Burpee: "How can we do jus tice to him when he can't tell us his case?"
 MT Russell: ''The state should fur nish an interpreter"
 Judge Burpee: "It is not the busi- ness of the state to furnish an inter- preter.,,'
 Alfred Fairfield was charged with stealing quantity of cigarettes from the Hotel Connecticut. where he was formerly employed. The evidence against him was so unimportant that he was discharged by Judge Burpee. While on the witness stand John Mack manager of the hotel, stated that a considerable amount of silver ware had been stolen from the hotel lately.
 Mrs Maggie Smith was charged with drunkenness. Since the middle of April until a day or two ago she has been living at the Brookside home. Wednesday she was allowed to come to town to secure rent for herself and three children. for they had been kept at the Brookside home beyond the time limit. but instead of engaging a rent she secured intoxi- cants Yesterday she was drunk and was walking around town with her three children. She was arrested and the children were sent to the Brook side home again, but Mrs Smith re fused to go there. She kicked like a steer and insisted on remaining at the station. This morning she was sen tenced to 30 days in the Brookside home. The children will probably be sent to some charitable institution which looks after homeless children

freely, and the forms of the ''art

FEATURES OF EDUCATION.
psow the Exhibit at St. Louis Will Be
Distinctive From That at Any
Other Centennial.
BY CLAUDE HI. wETMORE.


Education finds more recognition in
he Louisiana Purchase Exposition than
In any previous centennial celebration.
It is the keynote of the great enter
prise, permeating every display. More
over, the idea in it's abstract has home
Of its own, in that for the first time in
history the appliances Of school life are
shown in a building constructed ex-
clusively for this purpose.
At Chicago and at Paris this exhibit
was made q department Of something
else. At st. Louis it is seen alone,
housed in a palace which many con-
slider the most perfect intellectually
Of any on the grounds.
Besides, in the classification Of ex-
hibits education leads all others, taking
rank over fine arts, manufacture and
all the industries.
In remarking these facts visitors have
added that it was strange such promi-
hence had not been given to education
before, and they are loud in their praise
Of those who have carried the idea so
prominently to the front.
In st. Louis the revealment of process
will be carried out in the Palace Of Edu-
cation as well as in the other palaces.
Formerly it was deemed sufficient to
arrange in booths samples of text books
and of apparatus of the laboratory and
observatory. Appliances used in the
schoolroom were displayed convention
ally, and visitors could pass through
aisle after aisle and view only the
technicalities of the world Of instruc-
ton. AS a result the pedagogue only
was interested.
In st. Louis, however, there is to be
actual demonstration of the use made
Of all such appliances, and the multi
tude will find itself entertained. Thus
the model training school will be a
creature of life-boys to be seen using
the tools Of the various trades. Pupils
Of a school for the blind will demon
strate the methods in vogue where the
sense of touch is made to supply that
Of sight, and those who are deaf and
