CATCHING THEM YOUNG.

As there are going to be more wars and rumors of wars, it is interesting to notice that it looks as if the efforts of the Lads Drill Association, an or ganization in England headed by the Earl of Meath, an active promoter of physical culture, whose object it is to convert all the large schools into re- cruiting grounds for the army is likely to be rewarded with @ consider able measure of success. At all events, the headmaster of Harrow, one of the most famous of the large public schools, has become a convert to the views of the association. Every boy under his tuition has to learn how to handle a rifle and pass standard in shooting as a part of his regular course. The boys of each mouse" use the rifle range in turn, out of school hours, and are compelled to be regu- lar until they have attained certain measure of proficiency. At first there was some grumbling on the score that the rifle drill would interfere with cricket, but as this has not been found to be the case, the boys have taken to the new accomplishment with enthusiasm, and have organized a number of school contests, which are exciting keen rivalry. The headmaster, the Rev. Dr. Wood, explains the new departure by announcing his convic- tion that in the England of the future thera can be no other alternative for conscription except the rifle club. , Good. Let us have peace, but as long as we know we can't, let us be ready to fight for it. |

LADY MANAGERS.

Lady managers are all right when they choose to manage. and the lady managers of the St. Louis exposition did choose to manage. They were giv- en $10O.OOO of the governments money to spend, and they have done the al- most unprecedented thing of turning back $2666756 as an unexpended bal anee. They are entitled to feel a pride in the economy they showed, for there were no restrictions placed on their ac- tion. They could do with the money just as they chose, and in turning back more than one-quarter of the amount, with books all straight. bills all paid and proper vouchers for all bills, they have done well.
 Perhaps the Equitable and some oth- er things ought to have lady managers. They would manage as well as the men managers have managed.

Of Boston. Boston for the Bostonians, and no patronage for rank outsider was the object of the patriots who framed this restrictive legislation, but it has been disregarded generally for years. Now however. 1t is proposed to enforce 1t, and the aldermen are the stern agents who will undertake to bring de- linquents to punishment.
 That sticker for the letter of the law. Alderman Curley. addressed his colleagues Monday and waved the city payroll under their noses to show how Wantonly the rule has been disregarded
 Take the library department, with its new form of graft practised under the Rallies at its head himself non- resident. The only qualification for man to draw a salary Of over $100O seems to be that he lives outside of Boston,
 Rallies is Liberarian waldin, and he laughed heartily when he was told that MT. Curley. had denounced him. He confessed that 25 members of his staff live outside of Boston. Why should person having the opportunity to live in Boston prefer to dwslI else where? And laoY does any person dare to disobey the mandates of the Boston aldermen? If other aldermen are dignifled, Boston's are majestic. If less favored communities point to their legislative departments as famous re- spositories of intellect, how can the minds of the wonder working law makers of Boston be described
 The aldermen adopted resolution calling on Mayor Collins to enforce the disregarded ordinance. Mayor Collins has an easy job. The wishes of such eminent aldermen as MT. Curley are, and of right ought to be self If-enforeing, and need but to be known to be obeyed New York Sun.

SIMPLE, YET PROFOUND.

Once in awhile you hear a tired but observant man say, What's the use of wbrking?" Of course he doesn't ask that question seriously, for he knows that work is good for him. But, how eyer. The Continental Finance Com pany of Chicago, and an allied com pany known as the Continental Finane- ing company, made profits of S1, ,000 in three years, as has been discovered now that both concerns have passed in- to the hands of receiver under action taken by the attorney general of Illi- nois. The method by which these enor- nous profits were secured is simple enough. Advertisements were sent out offering to receive deposits of $5 a month for 10 years with the proviso that at the end of the time the deposits with interest would amount to $792, while the depositors' share in the profits would be $20S, or a total of an even $1,- 900. That is, the depositors by putting in $500 spread over 10 years would at the end of that time take out $1,OOO.
 This wasn't very great promising, and that Is one of the reasons why it worked so we'll. A Continental Finance Company that couldn't promise to give back. $1,OOO for $500 wouldn't be very Continental.

DON'T CARE TO BE FREE.

'Who would be free themselves must strike the blow,'' said the poet, but it appears that there are people so stuck on'' being slaves that they wont be free even when cordially in- vited to be so. A rather remarkable state of affairs has developed in two islands, Zanzibar and Pemba, off the African coast, as the result of a gov ernment decree abolishing slavery. De- spite the fact that any slave can now obtain his freedom for the asking, and that they all know it, very few have yet applied for liberty. The reason for this is, according to J. T. Last, a Zan- zibar official that the slaves have dis covered freedom to be anything but g. bed of roses. They have learned that they lose more than they gain by leav- ing their owners. "The slave of the present day." writes MT. Last, "who is practically a free person and has all the legal privileges of a free person, is in much the same position as an or dinary servant at hone.. He is in some respects in better position than the. European servant, for he can practically do as little work as he pleases, and he is at liberty to leave his owner whenever he sees fit. I am strongly of the opinion that the num- Der of slaves who will apply to be fresd by the Zanzibar government in the future will be very small, and ill the case of those that do so will be the result of some pique, dispute, or

They destroy apples, cherries, figs, grapes, etc, and unless they are exter- minated, fruit growing will have to be given up.

Like the queen dowager of Portugal, King Oscar of Sweden wears upon his breast a medal for saving life. It was conferred upon him by the French gov- ernment as far back as 1861, long before he ascended the throne, for two feats of courage performed in the neighbor- hood of Nice. The first consisted in checking at the peril of his life two runaway horses llitched to carriage that were on the point of dashing themselves and the vehicle with it's oc- cupants over a precipice. Five days afterward he jumped into the water and saved a child from drowning. He declared that he deemed it best to leave Nice after this lest he should be accused of posing for professional life-saver and as staying on the Rivie- "a for the sole object of exercising his profession.

Addicks as Senator for the full term. had no effect on the Senatorial deadlock. On the con- trary it only served to draw the faction al lines closer. Addicks lacks twelve votes of enough to nominate.
 The joint Assembly separated until noon tmorrow. A large number of Re- publican leaders representing both of the factions are in Dover today and will stay until the close of the session on Thursday afternoon. They hope to eff Senatorship. but the unity of Addick's followers makes an agreement extreme ly improbable.

MIR. GRAY SCORES POINT
HIS SUIT GOES BACK TO CITY
 COURT.
Judge shelby in New Orleans Decides That Litigation Over Railroad In-
 terests Does Not Belong in 1"-' Federal Court.

Captain J. W. Dimmick, Clerk of the United States Court for the Middle Dis trict of Alabama was yesterday notif. ed that Justice Shelby of the United States Court of Appeals had upheld the opinion of Judge A. D. Sayre of the City Court of Montgomery in the case of Henry B. Gray of Birmingham against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company.
 This means that the suit begun last week will remain in the City Court of Montgomery instead of being removed to the United States Court as the rail- road company desired.
 It will be remembered that a petition for an injunction was filed in the City Court of Montgomery In equity to pre- vent the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company from voting It's ninety per cent of the stock of the South and North Railroad Company for the pur- chase of the South and North by the Louisville and Nashville for s27.5o per share. claiming this price to be entirely too low.
 Motion to remove the cause to the United States Court was overruled by Judge Sayre. Nevertheless the Louis- ville and Nashville claimed that the cause was removed to the United States Court by virtue of It's being a non- resi- . dent corporation.
 Judge Thomas q. Jones was asked for ruling on the question. He refused to do so. having been counsel for the Lou isville and Nashville before going on the bench.
 Judge Shelby at New Orleans was asked for an opinion and he sustained Judge Sayre after the matter had been argued before him by Alabama lawyers.

tin by tho Japanese garrison of Rus sian officer who repaired there in breach of parole, a St. Petersburg semi- official telegraph agency pub lished the excuse to the effect that in returning home from Shanghai to Rus sia he took the route by the Chinese railway and therefore the Japanese re- port Is founded on a misunderstand- ing.
 "As a matter of fact, however, the Russian officers who were liberated on the surrender of Port Arthur had each and all sworn in writing. according to the terms of the equalization, to the erect that they would not act contrary to the interests of Japan. The Japa- nese government being convinced that the returning to Russia of such officers through the war zone is detrimental to the military operations. decided that they should not in any case be allowed to take that route and decision was expressly communicated to them at the time. It is therefore clear that the Russian officers arrival at SiSAnintin, lying within the zone of hostilities. constitutes a breach of the parole"
