BoNAPARTE FIRES A MAN.
Sailor Complained that AbJectiOn Was
 Made to His Uniform.

Washington, Oct 27.-Secretary Bonaparte has directed the dismissal of an employe of the Norfolk Navy Yard as a result of a complaint which came to the Department that the em- ploye after having agreed to lease two rooms to a machinist's mate serving with the reserve torpedo fiotilla re- fused to carry out the agreement be- cause 1t would be necessary for the rsachinist's mate to come to his resi- dence dressed in the uniform of petty officer of the United States navy.
 The employe, in his explanation to the Department, said that neither he nor his wife had any objection to the uni form, but owing to the prejudice which existed in the town of Berkly against sailors, he felt 1t due to his family in order to maintain their position in the town, that he should refuse to allow a sailors to reside in his house.
 After consideration of the employees statement, Secretary Bonaparte holds that a person whose attitude towards the uniform of enlisted men is what this employe states to be, is unsuitable for employment by this Department" It is ordered that the services of the em- ploye be dispensed with immediately.

SOMETHING NEW.

In the course of our reading we have read a good deal about Utopia but never expected to get as near 1t on this earth as Elmira, N. r. We mean politically. of course, for there are doubtless some things in that city that can hardly be called utopian. In fact, 1t has enjoyed a rather unenviable reputation in some respects, in which 1t is not different from some other large cities in that por- ton of the country.
 What it has done that Is both un- usual and encouraging is that both poli- tical parties have united on one man for Mayor. in the person of MT. 2. R. Brockway, seventy-nine years old, who has been tried in other oficial posi- tions and not found wanting. He is still strong. hale and hearty. and both the political parties of the city are agreed that hs will make just the Mayor the city needs. But that is not all, for The Brooklyn Eagle says:
 For him, in his old age. to be chosen by both parties to be Mayor of Elmira indicates the high honor in which he Is held by those among whom he has lived for over twenty-nine years, and we are glad to say 1t indicates more His nomination has been followed by a dec- laratfon from the management of both parties that they will now and here- after pledge themselves to use no money In the approaching election and in all future elections, except such as may be necessary for strictly legitimate expenses"
 This joint nomination. and the decla- ration of the leaders that they will use no money. has brought forth from the leading Democratic and Republican papers the statement that the action of the parties points out the only way "to free EImira politics from the nasti- ness and corruption which has given to the city an unenviable reputation In the past" If all that is not a condi- tion of milleniai politics 1t rubs 1t very closely.

Remarkable Features of the Death of
 Stella DreYer.

Iowa City, la, Oct. 27.-A startllne g series of coincidences is revealed In the coroner's investigations into the death of Stella Dreyer the 16-year-oid daughter of Rev c. Dreyer. formerly of Minneapolis.
 In addition to the fact that the girl was carrying a message foretelling the death of Mrs. Ed. Montgomery or MUS catine, the messenger girl was pickeo up by Manager D. W. Corey or the Bell Telephone Company just subse- ouent to his receiving a message an- nouncing his mothers death.
 Manager Ed. Dreyer of the Postal Telegraph and brother of the girl nar- rowiy escaped death at the same spot about one year ago. He also was de- liyering a message to the very family to whom the girl was going when sne met her fate.

One Professor Miller, of Berlin, Is authority for the statement that the bite of girl would often bring a quicker and more horrible death than the bite of serpent He went further and said that from actual experiments he found that an arrow dipped in saliva from girls mouth would cause more terrible effects than if dipped in the venom of the deadliest snake. This leads The Arkansas Gazette to portray this scene:
 A lonely road. Enter lonely girl Enter lonely william. The william makes a pass at the girl. She deftly pulls hat pin from her head covering, sticks it in her mouth for an instant and jabs 1t into the villain. The deadly bacterial poison from the girls mouth goes coursing through the wretchs veins. He falls down in the road and is soon writhing In death throes more terrible than If he had been bitten by the most deadly snake. "A ha, villianH' kays the lonely girl, now more lonely than ever since the lonely villain is dead. thou art foiled."
 It is we'll for humanity that we have scientists to find out things and to warn us of danger ahead. Hereafter in addition to other warnings there will be added: Beware the bite of a girl" But will 1t be needed? If the girl has what Is denominated a kissa- ble mouth and the young fellow is hungering for taste of it, will he hold back because of the possible danger that she may bite instead of kissing him? We doubt 1t. Under such con ditions a hungry youngster will take long chances and will console himself with the feeling that one smack is worth all that 1t may cost.

Mayor Mcclellan has put a spoke in the wheels of his opponents in New York. They have continually charged that if he is elected to the ofice of Mayor he will resign the office next year and become a candidate for Gov ernor. This would be no crime, but they affect to believe that if he re- signs and McGowan becomes Mayor the city may as well go out of business. We don't know what there Is so horrible about McGowan, but at all events the Mayor has knocked them out by the public declaration that If elected he will not be a candidate for Governor, but expects to serve his full four years as Mayor. He does not say he would refuse to accept the nomination if it is offered him. but what he does say amounts to that, and his opponents must find a new argument against him.

NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOL.

Recently a Professor of History in a Chicago University inquired of his class of sixty students how many of them had read a morning newspaper that day and found but two of them wlib had done so. He thereupon made newspaper reading a part of the regu- lar studies, taking the sensible ground that daily news is history in the mak- ing," and that knowledge of the hap penings each day is as important as are the lessons in the text books. Com 1aepting on this The Indianabolis Star says very correctly that some of the greatest history of the world has been first printed in the daily papers. The war between Russia and Japan was a world movement. affecting all nations .n one way or another. The estab- fishing of peace was an epoch which will loom large in the books written by future historians: Our own his- tory as it progresses from month to month and day to day-history is writ ten rapidly in this twentieth century, Is of absorbing interest to those who have the gift of comprehension"
 Reading the newspapers in school is not an unheard-of thing. of course, but we are Of the opinion that much more of 1t might be done to advantage. It is not necessary that the students read politics, social gossip, or even the editorial opinions expressed in the papers, but the real news of the day. enpAforn and douaaatin y,oIa,bt ,,,on =
 gage some of their attention each day. As the professor expressed it such news is history in the making" and 1t would be easier and better for history students --or all others, for that matter-to keep up with 1t as 1t Is making than to wait and then set themselves to study modern history. It is certainly mis- take to teach boys and young men, at least. that which occurred centuries ago and leave them in ignorance of what is going on all around them in the pre- sent.
 During the past decade. to go back no further. history of world importance has been making with astonishing rapidity. Great events have followed on the heels of each other so fast that only a close student has been able to keep up with them, and those who have failed or neglected to read the daily papers will find themselves badly behind the procession if they wait for all of 1t to be put into textbooks. Better keep up with 1t as it goes.
