One could hear in Imagination the wind
whstling across the bleak hillsldes and see
the drifts pile high when The members OF the
St.Lawrence Club OF New York city gathered
last night for their fifteenth annual dinner
at the Hotel Aston
The dinner was given in honor OF Herbert
F. Gunnison of the Brooklyn EcjE ana
through him in honor OF st. Lawrence Uni
versity and st. Lawrence county Before
the dinner was over Timothy L. Woodruff
dropped in TO smile a moment and deliver
a euogy on the superior merits of the men
OF the north. He was greeted with a rous-
ing college yell.
A. Barton Hepburn, as toastmsster,
said that almost all the great men OF IN e
oty come from the country and are gradu-
ated from small colleges. he gave Mr.
Gunnison az Exhibit A.
Mr. Gunnison told how hard he had
abored TO escape the honors OF the even
ing. My efforts he said. remind me
of conversation ietween Lord Chief
Justice and Bishop.
Said the latter. Our work is very
similar You say TO man: You be damned,
you be hanged l say to a man. you be

Yes. replied the Justice but when

The committee came 10 me. he con-
tnued and said you be dined, and
said you be -, but they paid no attention
to my wishes
Mr. Gunnison told Of the rapid growth
OF st, Lawrence University and predicted
a greater future for il.
st. Clair Mckelway made witty speech
in praise of the guest OF honor and his
alma mater He praised the latter as a
coeducational college. and said that coedu-
cation up there had done much to eliminate
the old comfortable doctrines Of eternal
punishment.
Don c. Seitz OF the World declared that
the praise Of St. Lawrence county had been
wasted since there were very few true
northern New York men present. But
he added. all who have any claim are like

MOSQUITOES PLENTIFUL IN PALESTINE

tally bad in the south and south
western part of the city, as the
residents in those sections are
complaining. Inside the corpor-
ate limits are numbers of holes
of stagnant water that are alive
with wigglers, and they are pro-
ducing millions of mosquitoes
every day. A gentleman reports
that he inspected a water barrel
in the |. & G. n. yards yesterday,
and that it contained thousands of
wigglers. There are dozens of
these barrels on buildings, sheds,
and in the yards, and they are
regular mosquito breeders. They
should be treated with oil. All this
work can be done at small expense,
and should be done at once. Kill
the mosquitoes.
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1905-08-12

Mosquitoes are bad in Palestine.
In fact in some parts of the city
at least, they are mole numerous
than ever before. So while clean
ing up in other ways. it would be
an excellent idea to do all that is
possible to mitigate this evil. On
ly through the agency of mosqui-
toes can yellow fever be contract
ed. The scientific world is fully
agreed on this one point.
If all cisterns not under ground
were screened, all holes of water
either ditched or treated with oil,
all water barrels, etc., given the
same treatment, the mosquitoes
would soon be a thing of the past,
for it is these local causes that
produce them. They are espec-

The department of manual training
is as good as could be expected under
the circumstances. None of the work
done here can come into competition
with similar work done on the outside,
therefore it must all be used in this in

boys are washed and ironed. a brass
band with a competent teacher. and
other shops. none large. except those
where the clothing of the inmates is
made and where it is Numbered.
Each boy is locked in a cell at 6
O'Clock in the evening and is let out at

wire mattress and suitable bedding,
and there is running water in every

Republic are exempted from being
locked up nightly and these sleep in a
large open room. The citizens Of the
Junior Republic also have a separate
dining room and library OF their own.
The little boys are separated from the
big ones in every way
One very noticeable thing in all these
boys is that no matter how poor and
sickly they may look when first admit

ure to the end sought
About one-tenth of these boys have
lost both parents, and fully half have
lost either father or mother The di-
vorce of parents is apparently the turn
ing point in the lives of many. Broken
homes and broken lives appear to be
intimately associated, and unfit homes
are doubtless responsible for the down
fall of nearly as many more. | believe
that if boy has wholesome home sur
roundings-and judicious control and
moral training are absolutely essen
tial in such surroundings-he will not
often find his way TO the reformatory.
The immoral home is always poor
home-the immoral home is little bet
ter. Neglect is hardly less fatal TO
right development than abuse. and the
overindulgence of misguided parental
affection is often the worst kind of neg
lect. The doting parent who can't
bear TO correct the boy will often have
to bear his being corrected in reform
atory.'
II used 10 be said of institutions sim
liar TO the Pontiac refofmatoTy. that
the younger inmates were taught add
tional wickedness by the older ones.
This is scarcely possible at Pontiac, as
the departments for the younger boys
are rigidly separated from all contact
with the older ones They never come
in touch with each other at school. or
elsewhere.
The school rooms are large and the
teachers are of the best. The inmates
are required TO attend school half a
day each day except Sunday. Grades
are maintained. although often boys of
Il and over may be found in the first
or second grades. Most Of these boys
have been habituaI truants from school
and attend now not from choice, but
from necessity. Many others. however,
take real interest in their studies and
do well
