Two Notable Addresses Made Be-
fore the Summer School
DIR. Minis Subject Was on The Art IF
Thinking DIR. Poteat spoke on
South"-Both Subject. Treated in
"a Mastery Manner.
Especial TO The MesSel ger J

Raleigh, y. C, July 3.-The features
of today's summer school were th= NO.
table addresses of DR.. Edwin Minis, of
Trinity college, on The Art Of Think-
ing and Dr. W L. Poteat, Of Wake
Forest College, on practical Educa-
ton for the New South" In the Iat-
ter speech the opportunities and the
manner in which they have been m
proved, symbolizing the general de-
velOpmenC Of the south III all ways,
was eXemplified and delineared. Pres
perity and salvation with il were plac-
I ed before the audience. DR.. Poteat sa.d
in this regard:
The salvation of the new sOltn
| against such a peril lies in the right
education This will recognize two
fundamental principles, first the inner
| ent worth of man as man. irrespective
!! Of birth, circumstance or calling. The
| education must be the man
| The life of the race of southern men
was a strong themal part and was
treated with power and effect.
Nj. Minis thrilled with magnificent
utterance in a psychological summary
based on profound learning and a wide
land varied experience through which
he ever appeals in general and IN de-
tail. No synopsis can do justice &c
such a speaker on such subject. The
climax of the address embodied force
and breadth couched in part as FOL
lows:
The historian who does not dlstln
! yuisn between types Of cavaliers ant
lpuritans or nOrtherners and southern
! iers, the biographer who does not dls
terminate between the virtues and de
fects of a great man, the preacher Wn'

 CARED FOX
Holders of Great Blocks
 of Goal Stock
Further Facts Brought Out by the Investigation of Pennsylvania and 3. o. Railroad Officials.

Philadelphia, June 6.-That he ac- cepted gifts of stock amounting to S11.- 900 and money aggregating mofe than s46,OOO from coal mining companies during a period of about hree years, was admitted today by Joseph V. Boy CT, chief clerk in the office of A. w Gibbs, superintendent of motive power of the Pennsylvania Railroad company. Mir. Boyer purchased the coal used in the locomotives of the company, and the donors of the gifts were the local companies who furnished the fuel to the railroad.
 Mir. Boyer named five companies which allowed him from three to five cents on each ton sold to the railroad company. He declared that he never asked for the allowance, but accepted it because he was following a custom of the department. In fact, one of the coal company officials told him he had paid it before and wanted to continue paying it to the witness. Mir. Boyer de- nied that he divided the money with any other official or employe of the railroad. He said he kept it all.
 A w. Gibbs, MT. Boyer's superior officer on the stand, sand that he was unaware that any such conditions ex- isted in his department.
 ] Mir. Boyer said he was at first dis inclined to accept the money, but that after thinking it over decided that he
 was doing nothing unusual.
 How long did you wrestle with your
 conscence? quired Commissioner Clem- ent. The witness did not know.
 1 NJ. K. Reeves. assistant to Vice Pres ident Pugh. admitted that he had ac- cepted stock from Col. George S. Hufl and David F. Williams. Col Huff. he
 said. purchased some of his holdings in the Keystone Coal and Coke company paying him $50 900 for them. MT Reeves said that he had known Col
 Huff since they were boys, and de clared that the latter knew that he
 was not in a position to favor hin when the stock was presented.
 A number of employees of the Balti- more & Ohio railroad were examined during the afternoon and the committee IendeaY0red- to learn through J-E Murfed. general superintendent of mo. tive power, something concerning tn. arrangements between the railroad anC the H. c. Prick Coal company concern ing the repairing of cars. MT. Muhl
 fed admitted that the Prick company had an advantage over other compan ies but he was unable to tell why. H,
 said it had been the practice for tn,
 past ten years, but he did not knov
 the terms of the agreement, if one ex isted.

Tucson. Arizona. June 6--(SpeciaI- sensation was sprung in school mat ters today when when the Star charged the school board specifically with @rafting. and the trustees, Samuel II. Drachman and Lon Holiday with fav- bring their relatives in school positions.
 The Citizen this evening says edi- torially that the Star puts a pretty good case against the school trustees. and that it is up to the latter 10 make a full and sufficient explana ton of the Stars charges. That more than Sze= has been paid to a son Of Trustee Drachman for his emplOye since his in cum bency is one of the spcific charge of the Star quoting from a copy Of the school superintendent's record spees- fically for each item, The Star aI- leges that the superintendent stoppea further payments, finally.
 1t is alleged also that Drachman dis charged for political purposes a com petent janitor and put in a cOnsumptive Janitor, who was too weak to perform | his duties and whose bugs endan- gered the lives of the school children i It is alleged further that Drachmau and Holiday appointed the seventeen year old son of Holiday as school cen sus enumerator, contrary to law and | finally the charge is made that Drach-
 man illegally received and kept money i from the sale of trees raised on school yards.

LAND SLIDE
 FOR BRYAN
His Name Received With
 Joy by HOOSieT Democrats
An Endorsement of Him by the Arkansas COnventiOn--ChsmP Clark on the Tariff Fight.

Indianapolis June 6.-The demo- cratic state convention tomorrow will bn largely attended. Although there are not the warmly waged contests for places on the state ticket that have marked some previous conventions, the crowd tonight compares favorably with past political gatherings. The mass of the delegates were addressed at Tom linson hall tonight by Representative Champ Clark of Missouri, who devoted considerable time to discussion of the tariff. His mention of Wm. J. Bryan's name was received with a great out burst of applause.
 In his discussion of the tariff ques- ton MT. Clark said: Among other things, we differ widely on the tariff. The. dominant idea among democrats touching the tariff is revenue; the dominant idea among republicans on that subject has come to be protection. I think this a fair and accurate state ment of the battle lines on which this campaign is to be waged as far as the tariff is concerned.
 "Wc say that inasmuch as we must both from habit and necessity raise a vast revenue by tariff, the taxes on all articles on the dutiable list should be divided into three great general classes
 -luxuTies, comforts and pecessaries; that the highest rates should be levied on luXuries, the next highest on com forts, and the lowest, or none at all on the necessaries of life"

MAY SUTTON VICTORIOUS.
The Only Question Is How Bad Will
 She Beat Her Opponents.

Liverpool June 6.-There was a fine attendance present when the North England championship games were re- sumed. The most interest focused in the singles match, in which Miss May Sutton of Pasadena, Cal, met Miss J. D. Staurton of Lincoln. Throughout it was just a question as to the mar gin by which Miss Sutton would win.
 She gave no quarter and driving and serving with great power, won 60, $ to l. It is the general impression that the American will retain the northern championship despite the recent form of Miss D. k. Douglass, who is con- sjdered her most dangerous rival.

of the country have enough obstacles to contend with without increasing the number unjustly or mischeviously. Everybody knows how hard it is to control the meat trade in Germany and France. The world is allied commer- cially against the United States. It is only by dint or sheer superiority of products better methods and American strenuosity that America holds her own in conquering the markets of the world. It is not from any commercial hospitality.
 "I do not think the estimate of $150.- 900 00O loss to the packers in the whole country is exaggerated. That is only a shrinkage of about 10iper cent on the total volume of business done, which I think is easily a billion and a half dol lars in all branches of the trade. We have complaints from England that the canned meat trade is decreasing"
