NINE MONTHS TERM

Now that the MAY Campaign" has
closed there is wide spread interest
the State over on the subject of our
public schools, and well nigh univer-
sal demand for longer sessions for our
country schools. That this is desirable
no thoughtful man will deny, but those
who know the conditions as they exist
in the country places are not hopeful
Of the extended terms. Hired labor
has fled the country, and the work on
most of our farms will have to be done
by the fathers and the boys. This
means that late in the fall season and
early in the spring boys over IA must
hold the pillow or handle the hoe. I'll
can not be hoped that these can 20
regularly to school except between
about the 18th Of November To the 18th
of April. The family must be fed and
clothed and the father says just can't |
do without the boys. And can the |
State compel" him to do without
themY Not unless it at thesame time
undertakes to clothe and feed the fami-
ly. There is nothing sentimental
about this but a practical suggestion
that hasn't received the consideration
from our educational canyassers it
should receive.
From our view point it is barrier to
long terms in the country districts
which cannot be removed or gotten :
over. Work on our farms must 20 on
Or the school houses will all close and ,
teachers 90 without pay. If the boys /
don't contribute largely to it then il /
will go undOne. No such difficulties I
'Xist in our cities or towns, but that .
does exist in the country would be

The newspapers are sometimes kind
TO candidates for public favor and then
again almost cruel. They were good
enough to give full reports Of the
speeches Of ne candidates early in the
campaign and are now forced 10 serve
the same old dishes. Readers are
growing restless for a change, some
new flavor or fresh spice and are
wondering that these great men can
not make the desirable and palatable
changes.
The change Of audience ought to
come to the rescue of the speaker. and
this would be true but for the fact that
people who make up the audiences
are reading people. The Governors
Spottsylvania speech will not "dOwn
at his bidding" and Senator Martin
rolls il as 'sweet mOrsel" under his
tongue. But it may be that with some
people the old speech is best speech
just as old music is best music and
old wine is best wine. Anyhow the
way of the orator as of the "transgres-
sor is hard" This, however will
ever remain true, that there is i'm
mense satisfaction i'm listening To
good speech and even more in making
one.

EcCFNrRIcITIES OF GENIUS.

The world has often been amused
and then astonished toy the eccentric
titles Of the men Of genius, but il re
manned for one Mr.. Thomas, principal
of Richmond's high school, who must
be a genius too, 10 amuse with his an
ties on this line. Who but born
genius would ever have conceived of
simplifying his individual accounts by
introducing into them the name of an
innocent and unsuspecting neighbor!
Shakespeare, we believe, was the
author of his immortal works, but
Shakespere was never enough Of ge-
Mus to invoke the name of John
Smith to be placed on his bill heads
before he could draw his royalties.
Mr.. Julian Z. Thomas is no doubt the
author Of the Virginia school register,
but his genius is of such aesthetic and
ethereal nature that 10 control the
"filthy lucre" due him for his "labor
Of love" his bill heads had TO bear on
their forefrOnts the firm name Of
McGilvray & Thomas. II this isn't
uniqe in humorous history, where are
you going to hunt for the unique with
the hope of finding it?
We knew a gifted but eccentric |
preacher once whose genius rebelled /
against the trouble Of taking Off a
well-won shirt just TO put on fresh
ly washed and smoothly ironed one.
On certain occasion when he was TO
leave home TO attend some church
court and TO be gone for a week, his
good wife who had packed his trunk,
called attention TO the fact that she
had put up a shirt for each day Of his
expected absence and urged him to
be sure to make the change each day.
On his return home the same good
wife found the trunk emptied Of
ihirts sOiled and unsoiled. She Of |
'OurSee asked for the missing gar ,
nents and was shocked TO learn that {
Ter gifted husband had obeyed her
Commands implicitly aud put on a O
resh shirt each morning but had for q
Ot to remove the old ones, so that she :

The result of this agreement has been

ulf compliance with the mandate Of
the apostle, as the Zionites concluded
it was more economical to grow a

One of the many plays which have
been suggested for the relief of the
coRgested condition of New York Is
street traffic is receiving serious at
tention from engineers and will soon
be brought before the board of alder
men for their approval. The method
has in particular the protection of
pedestrians with a view of decreasing
the "death day" rate, and its pro-
jectors declare that it is especially ap-
plicable to Herald square, which is,
perhaps, the busiest and has the most
crowded crossings in the city.
1t is proposed to erect from one side
of Broadway to the other, at the south
side of Twenty-fourth street, a raised
ascalator way, or, in other words, a
moving sidewalk on a bridge. 1t is
pointed out as one advantage of the
plan that it is cheaper than depressing
one street below another and is de-
clared to be more adapted to change
in conditions that the latter method.

A new musical farce is soon to be
produced here. It's chances of success
will of course be greatly increased if
the public has an opportunity to be
come acquainted with the music. 1t
happens that this production is import
ed by the syndicate of managers which
controls nearly all the New York the
aters. SO on the day following the
arrival of the score in this country
the music will be played by the or
chestra in every first-class New York
theatre but one Once the hum is
started in New York the orchestras in
the principal theaters in other cities
will also play selections from the mur
sic. 1t looks as if such thoroughness
in making it popular would lead any
music TO success.

New York, Jan. by the action
this week of the Washington Heights
local board of improvement the city
will, in all probability, soon come into
possession of the old Hamilton estate
and convert it into park. The prop
osition has long been one of the pet
schemes Of the patriotic societies of
New York city and throughout the
country.
All that is now left of the original
Alexander Hamilton estate is tract
of land on the west side of Convent
avenue, between 142d and 143d streets.
On the other side of the street is the
old house-always known as Hamilton
Grange-which was moved about fif-
teen years ago, having been purchased
by st. Luke's Episcopal church and
converted into a school The church
has preserved the edifce as it origin
ally stood, in order that it might be
unchanged when the day came when
the city or some patriotic societies
would purchase it for the purpose of
making it Hamilton museum. 1t is
in an excellent state of preservation.
Three or four of the original 13 elms,
which Hamilton set out with his own
hand in commemoration of the confed
GRAFTON of the 13 colonies, still stand
guard as sombre sentinels close by the
house.

In their endeavors to make trouble
for the Waterman recently several
boys had been skating on pond in
Sunset Park, Brooklyn, set fire to a
house which was used as a shelter
and candy booth. No help was at
hand and the house was burned to the
ground.
A hundred years ago the structure
had been a farm house. Thirty years
ago when Charley Ross was kidnapped
in Philadelphia, the house was unoecu-
pied. When Ross's alleged kidnappers
were shot in one Of their series of Bay
Ridge burglaries, Douglass, one Of
them, stated on his desthbed that they
had made their headquarters in the de-
serted house and had kept young Ross
there. The police at once searched
the house. II contained evidence Of
recent occupation, but Ross was gone.

The case of William Rockefeller, of
the Standard Oil Company against Oh
liver Lamora, the old soldier, who has
been striving to maintain legal rights
to fish in public waters in the Adiron-
dacks, has just been tried again in the
county courts 1t Malone, and decided
technically against Lamora, for the
sum of is cents. He probably will ap-
peal.
This case has been in the courts for
some years. Lamora won in two pre-
vious trials at Saranac Lake, but each
time the case, on reaching the Appel
late Division, was sent back for new
trial. Several years ago William Rock
efeller, through an agent, purchased
about $4,000 acres of woodland, around
which he posted notices not to tres
pass. Through these woods flows the
ST. Regis river and welldefned trails
lead to the river. The law provides
that trails in use without protest for
more than twenty years shall be pub
lie highways to all purposes. Lamora,
disregarding the posted notices, warn
ing him off the trails, was arrested,
arraigned before justice and acquit-
ted. But that decision made no diff
ference, for the cause was carried
from one court to another until de-
cision was rendered in favor of Mr..
Rockefeller. The point affects all who
hunt or fish, as the streams are stocked
by the state at public expense, and the
wild deer belonging to the state roam
through the woods, while every year
$4,000 is paid out TO protect fish and
game.

Lost Her Whole Fortune.

After having toiled for many years
without being able to lay aside more
than few dollars for a rainy day,
Mrs. Mary Slavin, middle-aged wo-
man, Of 81 South Sixth street, VIII
Hamsburg, by the recent death of q
relative inherited a piece Of property.
She sold 1t for $3.50, and deposited
the money in the Nassau Trust Com
pany, near her home. As the banking
institution pays but per cent on de-
posits she decided to withdraw the
money and deposit 1t In institutions
paying per cent.
She took out all the money, and after
placing it in the bosom Of her dress
she set out for the Dime Savings Bank,
at Broadway and Wythe avenue, two
blocks distant
There were eight $1,000 bills, a $500
bill, two 500 bills, and one $5O-bill.
When she reached the Dime Savings
Bank she withdrew 500 she had on
deposit there, and then set out for her
home, intending to arrange the money
in lots, and deposit each lot in q sep
arate savings bank.
On reaching her home she discovered
that all her money was gone. She
became hysterical, and while in that
condition she went over the ground
she had traversed from the two banks,
but failed to find the money. A crowd
gathered around her and Joined in
the search. Policemen lent their aid,
but the money was not found. On
reaching her home she collapsed COM
pletely and doctor was called in
Washington Post.
