Minutes of previous annual meet
ing and directors meetings were

The executive committee report
ed that they had not been called
upon during the past year to put
this mighty organization of keen
sleuths on the trail of stolen
property, showing that member
ship in the association is safe
guard against theft.
The dinner committee reported
having made arrangements with
the Mite Society for the annual
turkey dinner, but on account of
poultry roosting so high they had
been obliged to guarantee an ad-
vanced price for the feast.
In order to keep from depicting
the treasury on account of the ad-
vanced price for the dinner, a
motion prevailed to amend the by
laws and change the annual dues
hereafter from seventy five cents to
one dollar.
The treasurer submitted his re-
port of the finances of the associa-
tion which showed balance in
Bank of $112.49.
Fourteen new names were pro-
posed and accepted for membership,
making the present enrolment over
one hundred.

Dinner being announced, an ad-
journment was taken and 92 hungry
detectives lost no time in getting
around to the basement of the M.
E. church where feast beyond
description awaited them. When
ninety.five pounds of turkey and
la proportionate amount of other
good things had been transferred

ing any time for meals, and still

Fireman Was Injured.
Panic Causes Injury.

New York. Nov. 26.-The lack of
block signals was responsible yester-
day for a bad rear-end collision in the
One Hundred and Sixteenth street sta
ton of the Lenox avenue subway,
which resulted in the injury of several
women and caused ore of the most
frightful panics yet seen underground.
Locked Doors Added to Fright.
The locking of the doors from which
panic-maddened men and women were
trying to escape added to the horror
of the situation. A subway express,
fsalghted to the limit of it's capacity
with humanity, was standing in the
station when the passengers in the rear
saw the headlights of another train
approaching at terrific seped.
Saw Impending Danger.
Those in the first car of the second
train Ia the tail lights of the express
loom up, as they stood transfixed with
horror, when the impact came.

NoT so

no "'NI'i THVG DEEM.
The official returns from the cleo
ton in Fremon county show that
the county is not so democratic as the
first returns would indicate. Keister
carried the county for governor by
$40 plurality, while Grant, republican,
for state auditor, defeated Dayton,
democrat, 10 votes. The county gave
a plurality for Gill for secretary of
state and Miss Hamilton for state su-
p~erintendent of public instruction, but
Mondell defeated Hamm for congress
rs votes and Gillette ran ahead of
Lobban for state treasurer 46 votes.
The republicans elected the county
clerk, the sheriff, the prosecuting at,
torney, both members of the board of
county commissioners, the coroner and
the surveyor, the democrats electing
only three members of the house of
representatives and the county treas
urer. Brer Stone and S. A. D. can
find little comfort for themselves in
the returns even from the only dem.
ocratic county in the state.

Warren Identified Himself.

Probably no actor ever achieved as
great local popularity as was enjoyed
by William Warren in the old Boston
Museum days.
One afternoon, some 80 years ago,
he was strolling along fremont street,
Boston, when he was espied among
the crowd by a young woman. who
turned to a friend with whom she was
walking and said excitedly: There
goes William Warren"
The friend turned quickly. saying:
"Where?"
A figure In the crowd turned abrupt
ly. and Warren's voice answered:
Fright here" much to the chagrin OF
both women.

Best Method of Education.
Dean MacClintock of the department
of English in the University of Chi
cage says: "Play is natures best
method Of education. Play is natural
and to be natural is to be precious
Experience and observation confirm
our belief that play is a splendid me-
dunn for the teaching of things; that
children learn to a better advantage
If taught through play than work
alone; thai we do not need to make
the spirit of work any less conspicuous
in the curriculum Of our primary
schools simply because play is a prom
inent feature in all three.
Three Kinds of Play.
Our play is divided into physical,
mental and dramatic. We advise the
use of all three. The physical games
train for leadership and take the place
of the outdoor recess. The children
play under guidance and control. The
mental games are given as drills in
connection with lessons in arithmetic,
phonics and word pronouncing.
The general lessons in history, liter
ature and art, and the dramatizatlons
are made a partial basis for the read
ing. They assist the children to under
stand that which books may reveal TO
them. Through these lessons the chill
dren bring to the printed page the see
ing eye, the hearing ear, the sympa-
thetic heart, the ardent imagination.
The more they bring, the more they

thoughts.

An Unflatterina Light.

The Cooper Hewitt mercury vapor
electrical lamp is the cheapest light
In the world, barring the sun. 1t has
no red rays, and is therefore less irri-
tating to the eye than any other light
but this absence of red rays makes
colors mixed with red appear as
shades of dirty brown or bright violet,
and the woodwork of the room is
given a greenish tint, while the faces
of persons are green, blotched with
