WORK FOR PUPILS.
Chicago School Officials Want to In. , trOduce Municipal Government

Chicago, March 23.-The public schools of Chicago will be organized into miniature national, state and municipal governments, if plans under consideration by Superintendent Ed win G. Cooley are carried out.
 Superintendent Cooley believes that by bringing the pupils into organiza- tions representing the three different stages of government, ciyics can be taught with better results than in any other way.
 The plan being considered by Super intendent Cooley and other Chicago educators interested in the project con templates the election of a national house of representations from the grammar schools, considered as sep arate states and the election of sena- tors from the high schools.
 Each elementary school will send one. representative to the national con- gress, and each high school will send several senators, one or two from each years class, to the higher branch of the mock national government. The state and city governments will be formed in much the same way.
 The president and all officers of the different branches of government will be elected by the Australian ballot system, and in every detail the ma chinery of the national government will be copied.
 The little government will be found ed upon the principles of co-educatfon and equal suffrage.

WORKMEN
 LOCKED OUT
Lynn Shoe Manu-
 lecturers Act.
About 500 Men Had the r Doors. Closed in Their Faces 5000 Hands Will be Affected Unless Settlement Comes.

Lynn Mass, March 23.-Thirty- three shoe manufacturers of this city Who employ turn workmen to-day locked out the men in this department of their factories About 800 men are, out of work and the outlook is that unless a settlement is effected within week or ten days that 5000 hands W1ll be idle. The present difficulty Is the anost serious that has occurred in Lyss<s since the fight began between the Boot and Shoe Workers union and the Knights of Labor early in 1903.
 While the trouble is due to the strike of turn workmen in three fac X tories over the question of wages, there is a widespread belief that the lockout is part of a plan adopted by the manufacturers association look ing towards a general re-adjussment of prices.
 The locked. out men are, with few exceptions, members of the Lynn branch No Of the Shoe Workers Protective union, which has its head quarters in Haverhill. This union is affiliated with the Federated Shoe and Leather Workers. a national organiza- ton closely related to the Knights of Labor. The Boot and Shoe Workers union is not involved in the lockout
 There was no disorder to-day when the men took their outfits out of the shops. All work in the turn depart ments in the city factories is tied up and it is only a question of time when the other departments in the shops will have to close. Among the fac tories affected are those of A. B. Lit tie & Go, Faunce & Spinney, Joseph Caunt & Go, Luther $. Johnson & Go, the Watson Shoe Co, M. J. Worthley, Murray Shoe Go and Mrs A. R. King. . The latter is the only woman shoe manufacturer in the trade

New York Clergymen Op- posed to Marriage Of Divorced Persons A New Law Proposed to Fit the Case.

New York, March 23-Agdtation against divorce and the marriage of divorced persons has resulted in a meeting here of eminent Protestant ministers and laymen who will att tempt to solve the problem of undforn legislation on the subject by the states The executive committee of the con- ference, with Bishop Doane of Albany presiding, drafted a rough outline of the proposed law which later will be presented to the full meeting for dis cussion. The conference is a direct result of action taken by the Protest ant Episcopal church in its last gener~ al conference in San Francisco.
 Every effort will be made to solve forever the divorce evil so far as tha Protestant churches are concerned, < declared Right Rev David H. Greer. bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal archdiocese of New York.
 The Roman Catholic church was invited to participate in the delibera- tions of the conference, but declined. The opposition of that church regartns HE tulNOISG IS WGl1 KDOWIl7 however,
 Personally I do not believe in dis' vorce or re-marriage but dn separa- tion only. Other gentlemen at the conference may have other views, but it is the purpose of the representa- tives of the Episcopal. Methodists Presby yterian. Reformed. Evangelical, Lutheran, Baptist, Congregational, Universalist Unitarian and Reformed Presbyterian churches to dc de upon; some final method involving a comity of relation and uniform practice to treat the great evil of divorce in this country, so that persons who sre4 married under the rites of one chIkchl cannot, after securing divorces, re- marry under the rites of some other Protestant church.
 AIdeal legislation ill such a matter can come only after many rebuffs dis arrangements and long deliberation as to the wisest course; but such legislsl- ton will be enacted and the divorce scourge checked In so far as it is in the power of the churches to accom- plish.''

A RATIONAL CELEBRATION

In several cities throughout the
country the discussion about a nation
al celebration OF the Fourth OF July
has already commenced. In fact. II
has been going on for some time. In
Chicago an amusement association"
Is to be incorporated, and this assoca-
tion VIII provide suitable display OF
fireworks In safe place. and all citi-
zens are invited 10 sec the fun.
The idea Is to prevent the accidents
that make the nations great holiday
a day OF destruction. For several years
there has been demand for more
rational celebration than that by which
lives are sacrificed az upon batte-
field, and valuable property get fire
to. The Chicago arrangement is In
tended TO meet this demand.
An IDEAL celebration Of the day would
be to have open air concerts and patri-
otto addresses In public places recount.
ing tho glorious achievements Of the
past and explaining our mission in the
future. The setting of OF flre-crackers
and the discharge OF toy pistols and
bombs, and the making OF all kinds
Of hideous noises ought to be particu-
lGry prohibited on that day; first, be-
cause the handling Of explosives Is dan
gcrous, and requires skin and expert
ence; secondly because heathehlsh
noise and pastlmes and all manner OF
lll-behaylor are disrespeotful to the flag
which on that day Is flung to the
breeze a rational mode Of celebra-
tIon is needed. Chicago Is going to set
an example which Is worth while
