SCOTTISH SCHOOL METHODS.
Pupils at Glasgow Are Taught to Es
Ambitious.

Ambitious.
"The public school system Of Scot
land, to my mind, is as good as that IN
this country" said Andrew MacAllis-
ter of Glasgow. "In one respect it is
better, think, for they not only teach
the child how to write, but they teach
him also to be ambidexterous. This
is oftentimes a great help in after life.
Another thing in which think the
Scotch schools are superior to those
in America is that teachers in Scot
land have the same right by law to
chastise a child that the parents have.
This law acts well, and, if there was
more of it in this country, there would
be more lessons learned by pupils.
Between the ages of and II, chill
dren in Scotland are taught the funda-
mentals of good education. That is,
they are instructed in the three RS,
and some more, but readin', writin
and 'rithmetic are the basis of the
education. And at the age of II the
Scotch pupil knows as much as the
average English pupil at the age of Is
or Whereabouts. If they want to con-
tinue SCHOOL after that time they go to
an demy."-Detroit Free Press.

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.
Mrs Van ScOy Experiences Dangerous
Arter-E Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of a Blood Remedy.

Value of Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
cestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores of victims Of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and i'll every way wretched from
auemia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty III breathing and
acute neuralgia. III every case relief
was sought i'll vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
Il had a severe attack of grip and, be-
fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was in badly rundown
state. Soon after it began I was so lame
for a week that could hardly walk. 1t
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had to give up completely and for
three weeks was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
"While was suffering in this way I
CHANGED to run across little book that
told about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements III it i'm
pressed me and led me to buy a box. These
pills proved the very thing l needed.
Improvement set III as soon as began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time I had finished the first box.
Four boxes made me well woman. !"
Mrs. Laura NJ. Van Scoy lives at No.
30 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow in the train OF grip. They are
sold by all druggists.

ELYRIA, Ohio. Jan. 1S.-Andrew
Carnegie placed $4,000 in the hands
OF Rev. w. e. Cadmus, pastor of the
First congregational Church of this
city, to-day to be distributed to the
depositors who lost their money in the
failed Citizens National Bank of Ober-
lin as a result of the Chadwick loans.
Carnegie in a letter asked Cadmus to
investigate among the students at
Oberlin College and learn the amount
they lost. When this is done, it is un-
derstood, more money will be forth
coming. Judge Steele of Oberlin will
appoint a committee to investigate the
most worthy cases. Carnegie has also
given Cadmus $4,000 to reimburse the

Alleged Expose Of
Land Steal in
Colorado.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. S.-The Denver
Post tonight charged that influential
men in several departments of the
United States Government were inpli-
Gated in land steal in connection with
the opening of the Uintah Indian reser-
walton in Utah. The Post says:
"Ex- Governor OdelI is one of the
large stockholders Of the Raven Min
ing Company, which has the practical
ownership of the elaterite beds. Jo-
seph Letter of Chicago is an owner of
stock. The American Steel and Wire
Company, a part Of the great United
States steel trust, in which J.. Pierpont
Morgan is the moving spirit and John
.. Rockefeller an important factor, is
also interested and is using large guam
titles of elaterite. Henry c. Payne, late
Postmaster General, was a director of
the Raven Company.
There is no place in the known
world where elaterite exists except on
the Uintah Indian reservation. The
mines there cover an area about twen-
ty miles long and forty miles wide. The
ore sells for cents pound. The Ra-
ven Mining Company and the Florence
MILLING Company, WHICH are HdTfuOIll-
ously blended together, have exclusive
control of the beds.
The Uintah Indian reservation was
created by an act of Congress in the
year 1869. In 1891 the Raven Company
secured its lease from the Indians.
Five Indians had to sign the papers.
The redskins were feted in Chicago for
week or more before they were taken
to Washington. They were driven
around in tally-ho, dined and wor-
SHIPPED as heroes. AS soon as they
signed the lease in Washington they
were dropped like cold potatoes.
About two years ago the deal was
made in Congress whereby the Raven
Company was given extensive tracts OF
land in return for the lease made by
the Indians
The president of the Raven Com
pany is Charles F. Pfister, a Milwau-
kee capitalist. A. H. Morgan, the
treasurer. is president Of the Chicago
Varnish Works. Other officers are d.
d. Thoman, secretary and manager; T.
j. Boggs and w. s. Potwin, directors.
The company has 100 claims and the
deposits of elaterite and gilsonite are
said to be worth millions of dollars.

are involved. whose names will be

WORCESTER. Mass, Jan. 1s.-Torn

wish to see the Japanese deprived OF

in their war with China, by joint ac-

FIVE VOTES
PUT SW AYNE
IN DISGRACE
House by Narrow
Majority Votes to
Impeach.
Gillett Of California Makes
Vain Plea for Florida
Federal Judge.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The House
of Representatives to-day adopted the
twelve articles of impeachment against
Judge Charles Swayne of the District
Court of Northern Florida, which had
been presented by its special commit
tee of investigation. The Speaker was
authorized to appoint member to pre-
sent the case to the Senate and con-
duct the Impeachment proceedings be-
fore that body.
This action was the elimination of a
debate which has been In progress for
more than week, and which has de-
yeloped much partisan feeling. The
first vote. that to table the first arti-
scles, which related to the classification
of expenses. went against Judge
swayne by the naf;a5w margin of five
votes. This was resardeds as the test
vote, as the charge regarding expenses
was the only one concurred in by the
members of the COMMITTEES signing the
minority report. The motion to table
these articles were lost, 100 to 165.
Twenty-four Republicans voted with
the Democrats against tabling, and
three Democrats voted with the Re-
publicans to table. On roll call these
three articles were adopted.
Articles 4 and 5, relating to the free
use of private car by Judge Swayne,
were made the subject Of separate
vote and adopted. Like action followed
on articles and T. charging him with
non-fesidence in his district. This was
the last roll call, as articles 8, 8, 10 and
IL, relating to the Davis-Belden con-
tempt case, and article IL, relating to
the O'Neil contempt case, were de-
clared adopted on viva voce votes.
The last time the House voted to pre-
sent articles of impeachment was in
1876, when it voted the impeachment Of
w. w. Belknap, Secretary of War un-
der President Grant
The debate to-day was chiefly nota-
BILE for the closing arguments in the
case. That for Judge Swayne was
made by Gillett of California and that
for impeachment by Palmer of Penn
sylvania. Gillett made an earnest plea
for the Judge and Palmer spoke
strongly for purity on the bench and
for impeachment.
Gillett read a telegram signed, he
said, by the leading merchants and cit
iZens of Pensacola, Fla, condemning
the impeachment proceedings and ex-
pressing sentiment friendly to Judge
Swayne. Judge Swayne, he said, would
never nave Deen proceeded against and
prosecuted" if it had not been for the
O'Neil contempt proceedings.
Gillett spoke of the car incident as
having occurred years ago and said 1t
would be trif1ing to present seriously
such charge. He asked where It
would end if Congress started to i'm
peach men for riding in a private car.
He said he had statements showing it
was the intention that $40 a day should
be charged by Judges. and that he had
a statement from the Secretary of the
Treasury showing other Judges had
charged SO.
Bell of California was one Of the
three Democrats who voted against
impeachment.

their intentions and have bound them
selves anew to preserve the integrity
OF China and the open door. The other
powers have not been heard from, but
IL is expected that their replies will be
equally favorable. Whether they are
or not, Hay believes that he now has
sufficient influence behind him to pre-
vent any extension of the war zone, on
any condition. With the United States,
England. Germany and Italy standing
firn1ly for Chinese integrity and the
open door, Hay considers it certain
that Russia will not dare to invade
China or succeed by any means In in
yolving China in the struggle.
GERMAN INTERESTS MENACED
This country would not fight to pre-
serve either China or the open door,
but England and Germany must, for
their interests in the Yangtse Valley
and on the Shantung Peninsula would
be menaced by any extension of the
zone Of actual hostilities. Russia must
promise that they would not be dis
turbed. but in the light of recent events
HAY has no idea that the Russian
promise would be accepted by either
england or Germany. 1t is Hays con-
viction that the Kaiser's friendship for
the Car would be broken the moment
German interests were threatened, as
they would be by any invasion of

MONKEYS TO
PICK PRUNES
San Jose Grower
Plans a Novel
Experiment.

SAN JOSE, Jan. 1S.-The proposition
to train monkeys to pick the prune
crop has been advanced by Martin W.
Seeley, an orchardist, who resides at
361 South Sixth street in this city. He
conceived the idea of training the ami
mails TO do such work while a resident
of Central America. Seeley asserts
that he has made arrangements with
A. B. James of Acapulco, Panama. for
800 native, tanned monkeys. and that
this shipment is now on its way to Cal
ifornia. The securing of help to pick
the prunes off the ground has been a
perplexing problem of orchardists be-
cause of a scarcity of help. Seeley de-
clares that he will have no trouble in
training the animals to pick up the
fruit, and will place muzzIes on them
to prevent them eating it. Orchardists
in general doubt the practicability Of
Seeley's plan.
