scHooLBoYs IN GERMANY.
From Infancy Their Training Is Shaped with an Eye to Mill
 itary Fitness.

Germany Is before everything a mill itary nation" says Mir. George Andrew, a Scottish school inspector, in report on the educational system of Berlin and Charlottenburg, in the London Mail. Tn the boys schools the infants are taught by men and not by women.
 "One remembers ones feelings of sur prise on finding class of 60 infants pre- -sided over by a man of excellent physical development The Prussian Idea seems to be that the sooner the boy comes under masculine discipline the more adaptable will be become to the military practice later on.
 "Smartness is carried almost to an ex- treme. When pupil Is called to the Blackboard, he must run there and back. Yhe habit of the gymnasium is carried into the class room. There Is no play Instead the pupils wander in 8 tortuous column four abreast under the superin- tendence of teacher
 Neither is there chance of ''piayins truant" in Charlottenburg. The truant can be called for by policeman, walk ened from sleep and escorted to school
 One German town ordered gargling exercises to be practiced in the schools, the reason being that, while, in throat troubles, gargling was often ordered Che children could not do 1t, and the par ents could not help.

Now sfxty-One, He VIII Rest From
 Political Labor.
 ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Today is the birthday of Hon. David B. Hill of this city, who will be sixty-one years old, having been born on Aug. %, 1S43. Tn conversation with some political friends here he has announced that no matter what the result of the present campaign might be, either in the state or nation, he should retire from political activity and leadership on the first day of January next and would not in the event of Democratic success accept any position under the national or state Democratic administrations or again become a candidate for election to any office whatever.
 He stated that he had intended to take such action year ago, but was persuaded by some close personal friends to defer doing so until after the presidential election. this year, which he consented to do. Having been en- gagged in active politics since his youth and having served the people as city attorney, alderman, mayor, member. of the legislature, lieutenant governor, governor for seven years and United States senator for six years, he feels that on the one hand he has been suffi- ciently honored by his party and on the other hand that he has rendered political service during period of years sufficient to entitle him to be re- lieved from further active political eff tort in order that he may devote more time to his personal affairs and profes- eional duties than he has in the past.
 He will continue, however, his pres ent arduous labors for the Democratic cause during the pending presidential election, and thereafter, while expect. ing always to maintain his interest in the success of Democratic principles and cendidates. he will after Jan. next do so in his capacity as a private citizen and not as a party manager leader or oficehoIder.
 MT. Hill will speak for the Democ. racy at the county fair to be held al Wh4tney's Point, in this state, or "Wednesday, to be followed by Senator Depew the next day for the Republic ans

WATERFOWL JOTTINGS

The local baseball team went to Newtown Saturday where they met defeat at the hands of the strong team representing that place. The game was very interesting and in tensely exciting from start to finish, the feature being the pitching of George Zeidler of the Watertown team. He is credited with eighteen strike outs, and allowed only one hit. Dunn's work behind the bat was very good, although a passed ball allowed one of Newtowns two runs. The score:

 Grounds at St. Louis.
 ST. LOUIS, Aug. 20.- -Cheered by thousands who watched the start Of the novel race, George c. Tomlinson of Syracuse, N. Y., and Professor Carl Meyers of Frankfort, N. Y., superin tendent of the aeronautic concourse at the worlds fair, scared away from here in their balloons on the first flight of their long journey to the Washing ton monument in Washington. Five thousand dollars is the prize offered to the man who gets there first or, failing an entirely successful termination to the aerial voyage, to the one who comes nearest to his destination.
 Both balloons rose together when the last of the anchor ropes were cast loose. The first upward rush was so swift that the watchers gasped and forgot to cheer, but once they were floating high above the earth the speed of their mo tion was less apparent, and for a few minutes enthusiasm ran riot From the start the two aeronauts were carried in slightly westerly direction, but the wind was so light that presently they seemed to hang motionless, and for fully thirty minutes the eager thou sands waited to see one or other gain the advantage. Both had reached an altitude of more than 5000 feet when suddenly they struck powerful cur rent and, still almost side by side, swept away toward the west.
 Both men have taken provisions and have with them carrier pigeons, which will be released at different points to report the progress of the race.

Request.

Governor Carter yesterday pardoned
from prison Jose Rodriques and

victed at Hilo for holding up Japa-
nese hackdriver on the Volcano Road
about year ago.
The Governor stating his reasons for
extending executive clemency to the
men, said:
Il pardoped these Porto Ricans on
the recommendation of Sheriff Andrews
of Hawaii and others. Although the
men pleaded guilty to the charge, yet

stances surrounding it which give me
grounds for granting the pardons.

One request was to pardon V. H.
Brown, who was convicted of extort-
ing money while on the Hilo police

where he yielded to weakness rather
than to any criminal intent. but at the

made to give this pardon because it
would have political influence.

AFTERMATH OF THE
GLEN COLLINS CASE

Now it turns out that Nathalie
Schenck did not make a brilliant
match, in the smart set acceptation
of the term, when she married Cap
tain Glen Collins. 1t is reported that
he married her thinking she was an
heiress and that she married him under
the impression that he was wealthy.
They both discovered their blunder in
Honolulu. and that was why, it is said,
they turned back. At that time it was
reported that they had decided to rush
over to Paris TO hire a high-priced
skin specialist to patch UP Mrs. Col
lins's face. she having met with
painful accident. They went as far as
New York and have been there ever
since. The story of the mutual mis-
apprehension arose, perhaps when it
leaked out that Collins had been rais-
ing money right and left before his
marriage. One of the stories current
in New York is that he asked Alfred
Vanderbilt for loan of one hundred
thousand dollars without security The
Honolulu because the Captain did not
have sufficient money to continue the
journey IS one that taxes credulity, and
as the young people are still together
il looks as though mutual disappoint-
ment. if any existed. did not jar them
very hard.--Town Talk
