TEACHING THE TEACHERS.

Martha Adler in School Work.
At Columbia college a series of lessons
was given by an English lady on How TO
Tell Stories" Not long ago 1t was my
pleasure to listen to her tell, or, | might
better say, act several stories. 1 do not
mean act in the sense of great elocution-
airy effects; she simply told them so that
her listeners, who, by the way, were no.
children, seemed to experience 1t all.
In the story of the "Wolf and the Kids
we experienced the sorrow with the
mother goat when the little ones were
swallowed, and we rejoiced with her at
their release. So with her rendering of
the story, Its Quite True" Anderson's
tale of the little hen which, while plum
ing herself, pulled out a single feather,
and then said she believed she looked
better without it. This story ran on and
grew until 1t finally became the tragic
tale of five hens who plucked themselves
to death. In order to- look more beauti-

ing a genuine disgust of scandal and ex-
aggeration. To rouse right feeling through
action and stories is so much better than

like being good, because you preach to
him. he feels like being good because that
which he admires is good.
Imitation Is a most important part of
the child's capital. He will initiate the

too, he will grow from imitation to in

must be made part of the chld's expe-
rience and in so far as we accomplish
this, and cultivate the power of making
ideal real, of putting precents in practice,
in so far have we succeeded in teaching
a child through his own experiences.

Two Guhernatorial Salaries.

Attorney General Wilson makes
plain in an official opinion supplied
to State Auditor sowell the salary
question that has arisen in an ill-ad-
vised manner. He shows that William
Dorsey jerks, lying i'll in a distant
territory, is still governor of the state,
and that Governor Cunningham is act
ing governor only. He is the states
lieutenant governor with added duties
and powers. Governor jerks retains
the right and title to his office, and is
clearly and constitutionally entitled to
its salary. All the decisions and all
precedents sustain this position.
Section 11S of the constitution pro-
yidestas follows:
The lieutenant governor, president pro
tenn Of the senate, speaker of the house,

scribed by law for the governor. and no
other.
Under this provision Governor Gun
ningham is clearly entitled to a gov
ernors salary until he is relieved
from extra duties by Governor Jelks
himself. Attorney General Wilson
shows that a constitutional provision
like that of section 11S is self execut-
ing, needing no statutory enactment to
give it effect. 1t is in itself, says Mr..
Wilson, an appropriation by law, and
Governor Cunningham can draw his
salary without waiting for a legisla-
tive appropriation.

Neoroes in New York.

The New York Tribune gave in
about three columns of it's Sunday edi-
ton an account of the negro in New
York. He numbers there about $4,000,
and his life Is by no means an easy
one in the metropolis. With increas-
ing difficulty he finds a fiat in which to
live. and his avenues of employment
are yearly becoming less. The Hunga-
rian. Bohemia and Italians are sup
planting him as walters, and the Ital-
ian has nearly driven him out of the
barber shop and from the streets as a
bootblack. They have in three or four
well-defned districts, the chief one
lying on the western side Of the "Ten-
derloin" region along Seventh avenue
between Thirty-ffth and Thirty-ninth
streets. Recently an attempt was
made to drive them into poor build
ings along the North river, and the
wealthy members OF the colony re-
sented this by forming a company
with capitalization of $50O,O00. This
company Is purchasing fat-houses in
One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street,
or in that relghbornood, with the in
tention of subletting them to negro
families.
Heretofore the negro has been
thrifty in New York, but now he is
confined as a rule to employment as
porter or operator of elvators, and
they have to pay higher rents than
whites, and they are not prosperous.
The opportunit.- of negro women for
employment is daily becoming less in
the big city Their number will not
increase under such conditions.
And yet negroes own property in
Manhattan to the extent of three mil
lions, AID several of them conduct

Judge Kelly is being opposed by Col
E. M. Oliver of Chambers county. who
ran in the primary receiving the second
highest vote. The executive committee
of the division will be called together in
a few days to either call a primary or
name the nominee. 1t is argued that a
urinary will be too expensive to the can
didates. as the Northeastern division com
nrises sixteen counties. With only two
candidates in the field a special urinary
would cost each several hundred dollars
Judge Kelly ranks high among the iudi-
ciarv of the state. He has been ON tho
bench for six years and during that time
has made a fine record. Out of the cases
appealed to the supreme court during his
term of office only about two per cent

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Ponulists.


The promised coming of Thomas e.
Watson. of Georgia. candidate for presi-
dent on the popullst ticket. suggests the
fact that that political party has dwindle /
to quite dminutive proportions In Ala
bama. An observant public man last
night observed
"The populists of this state were once
quite strong. but now they have gone
to pieces-some into the democratic camp
and others have taken position under the
republican flag. Under the leadership of
Capt. r. +. Kolb, now a staunch demo-
crat, the third party promised to become
quite formidable in Alabama. and you
know jefferson county had for time a
populist representative in the legisla-
ture
THE party Is practically out of busi-
ness in this state now. and when you
hear of fusion of republicans and popu-
lists in a congressional district of Ala
bama 1t simply means the republican
party of that district with a few recruits
from the old-time populst ranks, and
need not alarm democrats.
IF Tom Watson does speak in Birm-
ingham, however, he will probably have a
good and attentive audience. He is an
interesting speaker, and his oratory IS
musical to the ear, If not convincing to
the mind"

Early or Late Marriages.

Governor Warfield of Maryland has
raised still another issue. This is a
year of issues, and the more we have
the merrier we may be. Governor
Warfeld delivered a school address,
in the course of which he said:
Don't do the foolish thing of getting
married early in life. have three daugh-
tiers, and will not give my consent to any
one to marry before she is twenty-eight
The drift is towards marriages at
twenty-eight or thirty, whereas a cen
tury ago seventeen was deemed mar
rlageable age. People are now
shocked If a girl marries at that age.
President A. Lapthorne Smith of the
University of Vermont does not agree
with Governor Warfield at all. He
SAYS the modern education of girls
saps their vitality. He desires a re-
turn TO early marriages, because it
means healthier children. He en-
larges ON the theme by saying that
men marry latter in life because wo-
men are crowding them out of posi-
tons. Men now marry at forty and
women at thirty. President Smith
wants more homes founded by the
younger element
When governors and college pres
idents disagree, who shall decide? The
truth is no decision from governors or
college presidents is needed. The
girls and their beaux will settle the
question, and neither President Smith
nor Governor Warfeld will be needed.
It is a subject to be settled not by
law or any mans wisdom, but by the
persons that are to be or might be
mated, and tLey are wholly competent
to determine it.
The extent and scope of a young
womans education is also a matter
of circumstances. A great majority
of girls are not, and never were, over
educated Plenty of them are unedu-
Gated, owing adverse circumstances.
The few wno go to the Radcliffe col
leges of the land will work no general
harm. and President Smiths objec-
lions are Congregations. Governor
Warf1eld, on tie other hand, will find
that even a III Shter of his own will
speak for herself il the man of her
oh ice appears on the horizon. The
young folks will decide, and the doc
tors need not distress their intellects
over the matter.
