asked Capt. Lawrence OF Station to
have the woman arrested; and she was
located last evening and sent TO the Cen

took her TO Overseer OF the Poor Cum

The woman said that she belongs I'm

New Haven. Conn, July 11.-One thou
sand children OF the New Haven public
schools sang a number OF patriotic selec-
tions in connection with the exercises at
the second days session of the American
Institute OF Instruction, In woolsey hall
this morning
Several songs were written for tire oc-
and were sung at sight by the big chorus
At this session three papers were read
the first by President George c. Chase
of Bates College, whose topic was The
Individual Versus tn Glass"
Superintendent Carroll @. Pearse OF the
public schools OF Milwaukee, Wis, read
a paper on THE Trail Of the Troublesome
Boy" which in part was as follows:
Mr.. Pcarce In the course OF his remarks
said: THE trail OF the troublesome boy
has too often led away from the school
room door and has passed by short cut
into. and too often ended I'm, some tam
gled thicket. The skill OF the school
master In diagnosing the difficulties
which arise in his profession. however,
has In some measure kept pace with the
advance OF science in other professions.
I'm this study we have learned much
OF the proper methods To be used I'm deal
ing with the troublesome boy. We have
learned that for that class OF children
who are on the border line between fee
ble-minded and troublesome In disposi-
ton. who are not feeble minded but are
lacking I'm some Of the usual mental pow
ers, the troubiesomeness comes from the
lack OF mental balance. and that while
these children cannot do the W w)rk OF or
dinary children, they can, II taught in
proper ways. by proper teachers. receive
much benefit from the schools.
1T has been learned that the boy who
seems so dull and inattentive may he so
because he comes TO school without break
fast and Is so hungry he cannot do any
proper school work. The boy whose at
tention wanders or whose head drocps
over his book may have been out last
night selling papers on the street. or lis
parents and some companions were ca
rousing until an early hour I'm tho morn
ing and the boy had little sleep.

spent the noon intermission walking
about the streets and looking into the
windows Of the bakeshops because her
mother was gone away 90 work for the
day hnd the house was locked up. The
wise schoolmas ster today knows that what
these children need is not reprimand.
that they are not wilfully dull or per-
verse or lacking In self control. but that
what they need Is decent physical con-
ditions and the enjoyment Of a child's
right to food and sleep.

THAW DECLARES
He IS NOT INSANE

New York. July Hilary X. Thaw to-
day reiterated the statement given out
yesterday by him that he is not insane
and that no lunacy commission would be
appointed to inquire into the state OF his
mind. For this purpose he asked per-
mission 10 see the newspaper men imme-
diately after he had breakfast and they
were taken into the prison to meet him.
After greetings had been exchanged
Thaw said he had asked to see them as
he wished TO emphasize and to ask them
to give the widest publicity to the state
ment he handed to them last evening de-
nying that he was insane or that lunacy
commission would be appointed TO inquire
into his state OF mind.

Speaking or his mothers return to this
country. Thaw said:

family, was anxious that mother should
remain in Europe. She is suffering from
rheumatism and went to Europe for the
purpose OF taking n cure at Schinzenach,
Switzerland. and /. In fact, all OF us.

turning home. or course, shall be glad

During his talk with the newspapermen.
Thaw took occasion to explain his failure
to take advantage of his permission to
go into the prison yard for exercise yes
terday.
"The reason I was not out in the yard
yesterday is simple eaough. I spent the

Thus spoke a Republican leader today

There is no doubt, however. that Gen
Brayton is not now so powerful as he was
some years ago. and that Aldrich Colt

AS TO the operation Of the air brakes.
Coroner Babcock makes this comment:
The sudden application OF the air brake
by the motorman, as after emerging from
a particularly dense bank of fog he dis
covered that the car was on this curve,
seems TO me TO be an important fnctor
I'm the cause of derailment
THAT the air brake was suddenly and
forciby applied, admits of no doubt. Tho
motorman testifies 10 the act, and several
of the witnesses saw him turning cerfain
handles or levers 81 r---@---r-..' ~
''It is true that the motorman says that
he at once released the brake: but 10 is
possible that he is mistaken In this state
ment. or. II he is not. that the release OF
the brake came too late.
The effect OF the sudden application
of the brake would be to stop the trucks.
while the body of the car kept on at the
same rate OF speed at which II had been
going. unless held by the bearings of the
swivel plate and by the swivel pin.

Whether the Aldrich-Co Perry COM
bine has any inclination whatever TO
weaken In view Of Senator wetmores
open denance does not yet appear. and
may not be known for some time.
The general belief appears TO be, how
ever, that they have gone too far. that
the pressure OF Standard oil and other
trusts behind them TO secure another
trust representative In the senate is too
great. and that their confidence in their
own power and in the power Of their
money Is too profound. 20 warrant any
expectation that they will yield one hairs
breadth. but rather Is such as 10 ensure
even greater and more determined per-
sistence In their plan to oust Senator

This years nomination for senator TO
succeed Wetmore was the principal in
ducement held out TO Col Colt when

and after his defeat II was again dan
gled before his eyes as an inducement
not 10 insist upon running in 1904 when
