DOG GOES TO SCHOOL.
This Canine Has Not Been Absent vi
Tardy in the Seven Years OF,
His Attendance.

In Brockton, Mass, the home of W.
Z. Douglas, the governor of the state.
there is bulldog that has been regu-
lar attendant at school, with no absent
or-tardy marks, for seven years. He is
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Niles,
and went to school first with their son
Ralph. The boy went into the first
the dog insisted on going with him.
Like Mary's little lamb, he made the
children laugh and play, but the teacn-
er could not turn him out. He abso-
lutely refused. to go away, and, as ne
did nothing but sit quietly by his little
master, she did not take strenuous
methods to get rid of him. The chill
dren soon became used to him, and nc
longer laughted when he was in the
room, until finally he was enrolled as a
regular pupil and his attendance re-
corded the same as that of any boy or
girl.
After time he was often used as an
example of obedience to the pupils
for the teacher never had to speak to
him but once, whether it was an order
to go and lie down or close the door
without his obeying Instantly. He also
served as a model for the drawing
classes. He took kindly to the fire
drill, and all through his seven years
course he has been in his place in the
line the second the fire alarm bell
rings, and he files decorously out with
the other pupils.
After a year in the primary depart
ment, he thought he had become too
advanced for such baby methods, and
promoted himself into the grammar
department, where Rita Niles, Ralph
Niles sister, was. He has accompa-
MED her from room to room ever
since, until now he has reached the last
grade, and will graduate this June
Already he has made trip to the high
school tc see how he likes 1t, and will
have a place there as soon as he gets
his diploma from the Winthrop school
Sickness does not keep him at home
and, unlike most boys and girls, he
does not have to be hurried to school
to escape being tardy. He trots out OF
the yard Is minutes before school time
every day, ani is in his place when the
bell rings. A few weeks ago he was
ill. and Mrs. Niles tied him up at home
But he broke away and went to school
although he was SO weak he could
hardly stand, and thus kept up his res.
ord of no absences.
Both principal and teachers of the
school are deeply attached to him, and
will miss him sorely when 8e gradu

PUBLISHED WEEKLY,
Immigration Insanity


Anenlsts Of recognized authority in
N1" 1ork say the resant report Of the
state lunacy commission does not in
oicate that the noise and methods Of
ue IN the metropolis are driving its
reputation into uAdhouses. Since the
report was issued, showing 20 eper
cent increase or insanity in this state,
largely in New York city, there has
oeen much comment in various sections
upon the insanity breeding conditions
OF the greatsr city. One physician in
the western end of the state has as
cf1oed tbs condition to flats and tene-
ments. a Boston alienist believes the
ancreas, OF New York's insane to be
que tc money madness and the noise
OF ~ trains" Doctor Spitzka says all
Anls saik is nonsense While admit
unG That there are undoubtedly larg-
er aumber Of cases in insane asylums
tnan ever before, he says this is due
% natural causes, the chief cause be-
ing the factithat New York city is un-
fortunately the port OF entry for the
large part Of the immigration to the
United States. If some method could
be devised he said, ito get the Euro
pean immigrants out into the country,
where they could get Gods fresh air
and have more favorable surroundings,
New York's list Of insane cases would
materially diminish. There Is not the
slightest fear that the people of New
York are going crazy. AS commune
~ we are just rs sound mentally as
any people on earth, II we could find
q way OF preventing the herding Of
Immigrants in the east side section.
There are 3.017 more cases in the IA
state insane asylums than can be prop
erly cared for. Last year there were
36.861 commitments In the state, an
increase Of 927 over the average for
the last ten years. A very large part
Of this increase came from New York
city, and more than so per cent. of the
commitments from the city were aliens.
There is now talk Of building two more
hospitals for the insane"

MoNTANA's BIG TROUT.
The Great Twelve-Pounder Senator
Biggs Caught with a Five and
One Half Ounce Rod.

Frozen inside cake of ice, there is
on exhibition here one of the finest
trout ever landed in Montana, says Q
Helena (Mont.) correspondent of the
New York Sun. 1t was caught by
former Senator William Biggs, and
weighs slightly more than IL pounds
It was caught in the Big Blackfoot
river near Bonner. It took more than
20 minutes to tire the fish out SO that
"a landing net could be placed around
it, and the lucky angler complains
that for two days his arm was tired
as the result Of the long-drawn-ou'
tussle.
Just back Of the cake of ice stant
the rod, reel, line and hook which
proved the undoipg of the fish. They
seem out of all proportion, as the roo
weighs only five and half ounces, the
reel is an ordinary affair, the line q
deceptive silk thread, and the hook is
minnow size.
In addition to the IL FOUNDER, the
senator landed eight and four pound,
ers.
Bonner is beyond doubt the banner
fish center of Montana this year, as
two other beauties, weighing eight and
ten pounds, were caught in that vi
cinity during May. Reports are slow
in reaching Helena from the numer
Gus parties which have gone overland
to the Big Blackfoot-central Mon
tana's favorite stream-but judging
from results further down, it will
yield its customary amount.
This has been an unusually good
year for anglers. in Montana, owing in
part to the fact that the waters are
lower than in other years because oj
the light snowfall during the winter.

Electrician Colds.

/, The reason the Electric fan cold' is
20 often accompanied by sore throat is,
according to Philadelphia physician,
that the draught made by the fan car
ries so much dust with it. THE fact il" !"
says this authority, that the air stirred
by the fan is not fresh air, unless the
fan is backed up against an open win
dow. When operating in an inside
room or in similar places, where It is
most appreciated, the fan uses the same
ar over and over, and this air gathers
M and keeps In motion all the available
dust, People who don't catch cold are
sometimes affected by this dust and
show symptoms either Of sore throat
or OF nose troubles akin to catarrh.
the right way to use fan is to arrange
Il with relation to an open window 50
that all. the air with which It Is sup
plied comes from outside.

BY LUCY ELLIOT KELLER.

One Of our distinguished statesmen
was as boy taken to call on Rufus
Choate, the father asking the great
lawyer to give some word of advice to
his son. The distinguished man re-
nlied, kindly: BE accurate. my boy;
accurate and honest, and love your
books" Whatever success the states
man has had he attributes to since:e
endeavor to follow that motto.
Choste's accuracy marked every de-
tail Ct his life, and he had no SYM
pathy with botch and inexactness in
any form. A client once brought hiEa
deed of land wherein boundary line
was marked by two stones and a-sap-
ling.
Zone might as well have defined it as
starting from blue jay, the lawyer
exclaimed, running thence to swarm
Of bees, and thence to 500 foxes with
frebrands tied to their tails.

Cuba's National Convention.

Election day in Cuba does not come
until Dec. 81, but the first Of the national
conventions met on Monday and is now
in session This is what is generally
known as the Coalition Convention. 1t
consists Of Moderates who are opposed
to a reelection Of Mr.. PALMA as Presi-
dent and of Liberals who have cast in
their lot with them. The leader, and
almost certain nominee for the Presi-
dency, Is Senior JOSE MIGUEL GOMEZ,
now Governor of Santa Clara Province.
The date for the convention of the
regular Moderates, who will unques-
tonably nominate Mr.. PALMA to sue
coed himself, has not yet been fixed. The
convention OF the Liberals, who will
probably name Gen. EMILIO NUNEz, now
Governor of Havana Province, Is also
without fixed date as yet Some hope is
entertained OF complete union Of Lib
erals and Jose Miguel Gomez Moderates
Should the present illness of Gen. MAX
IMo GOMEZ terminate fatally the chances
of such combination would seem to be
increased Senior NUNEz is a protese
of the old General, who has not been on
cordial terms with JOSE MIGUEL.
The electoral college will consist of
eighly-seven members. II the coalition
holds, PALMAs defeat is little short of
certain. If it breaks and three cor
nered fight follows his chances are great
ly improved In any case, he holds the
decided advantage of control Of the
official machinery. ..
There are few institutions in all the
world which are quite AZ erratic and I'M
certain as Cuban politics. 1t is, however,
entirely safe to predict a row in Cuba
that will be crammed with interest, and
perhaps some amusement, for appre-
ciative students OF political situations.

The Question Is for Congress-.

Secretary TAFT is right in assuming
that in the absence Of statutory instruc-
tions to the contrary it is the duty OF the
Administration TO construct the canal
in the most economical manner con-
sistent with good work, 1t follows that
Il Is the duty of the commission 10 op-
tain its material at the lowest market
price for the quality required, lnde-
pendently Of any consideration OF the
locality of the market where the ma
terial is purchased,
The position of the President and the
secretary Of War is the stronger because
the importance Of this question OF policy
was foreseen and brought to the atten-
ton Of Congress months ago when
Gecretary TAFT said in his report or
Jan. ~ to the President: IF Congress
approves the policy Of giving all contracts
to American manufacturers and dealers,
even IL it increases the cost Of the con-
str,ction Of the canal it seems to me only
Just that it should declare this policy
by law and lay down rule which the
commission can easily follow
The sole warrant for the Executive
Department in increasing tho cost OF
construction by giving preference to
American material on any large scale
at higher prices would be the enact
ment OF specific Instructions SO to do;
and Congress- has neglected to declare
that policy.

In ShlpiIui!dlnr Case.

Supreme Court Justice TcveRt.itt denicd
yesterday al application made by the
Common wealth Trust Company. through
it, attorney. D-Cady Herrick, for com
mission to take the testimony Of Lewis
Nixon In correction With tne trust COM
pany's suit against Daniel Leroy Dresser,
John w. Young, Charles ". Mayer, Nixon
and other defendants to d,termire thu
rights and interests of tho various parties
in the matter Of TIE floatirg OF the bond,
and stocks of tho late United States Ship
building Company. Dresser was president
OF the Trust tonrany of the Republic.
which was reorganized after the collapse
of the shipbulding company and the bank
ruptcy of Dresser, under the name of the
Commonwealth Trust Company.
Nixon is at present in Russia, and was last
heard from in Sebastopo. The suit, which
is in equity, may come up for trial shortly,
and his evidence is considered very material
by colli. sel for the trust company. Nixon
held power Of attorney for Young, who
had options on the various shipbulding
plants which the Shipbuilding company
absorbed. Nixon was also very prominent
in the negotiations by which the cash was
raised to acquire these plants. Justice
IIeventritt found that the delay of the trust
company in applying for the commission
deprives it of the right to the order. and
the trial will have to proceed without Nixon's
testimony unless he should voluntarily
return In time for examination.

I'm Favor OF II.

The Mayor had before him yesterday the
bill extending TO -four years the terms Of
the Mayor, Comptroller and Borough Presi-
dents after the terms Of the present officials
expire. There was no opposition to the
measure and only one speaker responded to
the call Of these in favor CT the bill. This
was Austen G. Fox of the City Club His
opening remark was not happily punctu-
ated
Your Honor has been long enough in
Office" he began and then he paused while
he was searching among some notes. 1t was
only when the Mayor laughed aloud that Mr..
Fox "tumbled" to the incongruity of the
pause. He FASTENED to say:
Il don't mean that; ! didn't mean to put a
comma there. What | was starting to say
was that vour Honor has been long enough
in. Office to feel that the longer you serve
in that Office the better qualified you are to
All it because of the better knowledge you
have obtained Of the needs of the city
THANK you" replied the Mayor laugh
ingly Il was afraid from your opening
that you were going to be less compI-
mentary."
The Mayor will undoubtedly sign the bill,
but the predictions which come from AL
bany are that the Governor will veto it,
because OF the opening up of considerable
Republican opposition to 1t.

The preservation OF the Park.

To The EDITOR OF The Sun Sir: Those
who are SOLICITORS for the welfare of our
parks and who disa gTee with our genial old
friend Mr. Robert B. Roosev welt are not
necessarily narrowminded. / may be per-
mitted to say that in designing our great
parks it has been the rule with the designers
10 give Thought to the possible future of the
park = en- vironment and to provide for con-
ditions which in their view will inevitably
follow the development Of these great con-
structons. 1t expected that excep-
tional value would be reflected upon the adj
jacent property by the establishment Of the
park. and that expectation, abundanty jus
lfed thus far. will be best realized hereafter
by holding generally and characteristically
to the existing design and purpose of the
park. The superstructural work the road
surface and walks Of Fifth avenue with the
finely developed trees) should be OF the best
and their maintenance as complete as posi-
bic; under which conditions the avenue and
the park. in their relation to one another.
cannot be improved upon to any great ca
tent.
As to the matter OF transit. while GER
ta'nly that ought TO be considered without
delay. II is nevertheless an affair of admins
tration, But here, too. the designers OF the
park have quite effectively anticipated the
need. in providing the transverse roads
which now exist constructed more than
iorS s'aiN aFo' iHese ROADS should be-
properly aTailed Of. literally maintained and
carefully polic"d. thus rendering them equal
TO all the present and unlimited future de-
mands for Transit across the park
There are no morc drives or rides needed
in the park. Those who ride and drive now
have aud will have ample facilit les quite
their share Of a generous public provision
in the extending and improved avenues and
the larger park areas beyond For the rest
