 We believe that the closing of the schools. in spite of the superstition of the school committee that somehow ex' ceptional respect is paid thereby to Lincoln's memory. is really a lamenta- ble perversion of the opportunity to enforce one of the most important les sons of life of Abraham Lincoln on our American youth. Instead of teaching the children that no work is the most fitting observance of the birthday of one of the most tireless workers fllls country has ever seen, the children ought to be inspired with the truth that the best way they can honor nm is by doing better work than ever.-- New Bedford Standard.

The navy department never has been enthusiastic over the drastic pun ishment of dismissal that is the law in relation to haZing, says our Wash. ington correspondent. Since the in- quiry at Annapolis has developed and shown that the most of the three up per classes are slated for dismissal if the law is enforced, even the secretary of the navy has. been willing to see the statute modified. and he is now in conference with a number of promln. ent congressman with q view to hay ing a new law passed that will re- cognize some distinction between diff ferent degrees of hazing. There is no question but that hazing is wrong in principle. and that 1t ought to be erad- icated 50 far as boy nature will allow. But there is a wide difference between boyish pranks, that will annoy with out seriously hurting the victim. and brutal hszing that seriously iaeapaci- tates its victim. Some of the pranks are no more serious than making a cadet get under the table during deS sert. Other forms are absolute bru- tality and consist in making the vie. tim stand OF his head till Ee faintS then rcviyins him with cold water and continuing the torture til t'e subject will not revive and has 10 be carried to the hospital by the first of fcer who happens to find hiin. An effort is now being made by SecretaT! BonapaFte to grade the punishment tC it the crime. It is also suggested that the president will be asked to inter cede and pardon the eight cadets whC have so far been dismissed from th' academy. But there Is a serious ques ton fin law whether even a pardoi from the president would be sufiicien to rejnstate those who have already been dismissed. and if they are per uanentiy barred from the academy l would seem decided partiality to re
 tain any of the others who have beer proyen guilty under the same law But there is talk now Of suspendin.
 the bazing trials altogether, and al lowing the cadets who are now ROmin , ally under arrest to continue the ful

THE RICHEST DUCHESS.
Her Marriage Was the Result Of d
 Love Match.

Her Marriage Was me hesuit ol
 Love Match.
 Riches and romance do not always go together, but in the case of the lovely Duchess of Westminster they share the honors.
 The Duchess was a daughter or Colonel William Cornwallis West ahd consequently sister in law or the clever American, who was once Lady Randolph Churchill. Some people think that it was the clever patch- making of the Yankee sister in law which made Shelagh West duchess.
 But there is another story. And according to that it was a boy and girE love match dating b,iikl To the fine when young Lord Be1gTnve was wont to go down to Wales to be eii- tertaIned in the nursery of the Cora wallis West home.
 The children fell fathoms in love with each other, says Munsey's mag azine. and when they were just old enongh to feel the first bangs of sol'- TOW in love they went through the graceful old world ceremony of nur- sery betrothal
 The boys father was dead and his grandfather. to whose great title and splendid estates he was heir. frowned upon the childish romance. Young BelgraVe was sent off to school and then to war: but six years ago the old duke died and the youth became his own master. Meanwhile Miss Shelagh West had entered London s0- l ciety. where she was much admired and petted. Her sister had married Prince Henry of Piess. a brilliant match. which brought the elder Mrs | Cornwallis West much credit as q matrimonial strategist.
 The Boef war was nearing ifs eld, | though De Wet was still at large. when the young Duke of Westminster | reputed to be the richest nobleman in |. the world. came home to take over his | inheritance and suddenly the fashion able world was startled by the infor- nation that Shelagh West was to be 1 the Duchess of Westminster. ] An illustriOus parsonage. not usually addicted to testing. was told of the
 match. and he is credited with hay ing said:
 Mrs CoInwallis West should be [ sent to Africa. She is the only per. ! son who could catch De Wet
 The young duchess at once took a | leading place in society. Her first act i was 10 drop the name of Shelagh. by which she had always been known and to resume the more dignified one of Constance. She dresses extremely well. and is the possessor of jewels befitting her rank and station. Hpr diamonds alone represnt a vast for. tune. Among them is what is known as the Neska diamond. q wonderful stone. about the size of a fifty cent piece. She spends little time in Lon don. GrDsvpnOr House being mostly rlUseI. pr given over to meetings Oi charitable societies. But she has giv en entertainments there. though shs prefers the retirement of Eaton hall

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Miss Maria Corsa. fifty-six years old, whose for tune is estimated at from s600,000 to s1.Oo0.OOO. is dead in her home here on Morris avenue. Her death was caused by starvation and exposure due to her life of seclusion and false econo- my. She lived entirely alone in one room of the Corsa residence, denying herself even the necessaries of life and refusing the warmth of a fire which might have been built with coal which had been fin the cellar for years.

Explanations for Germany's marked advance are being sought, and her na- tional traits are demanding more study than ever before, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. We must not forget that long training and hard work tell most of all. that these char acteristics come from Germany's great commercial past. The commercial sov- ereignty which Germany exercised in the Hansa times did not entirely die out. The merchant houses of Ham, burg, Bremen and Lubeck. and the bankers of the inland towns have, for centuries, kept up their traditions and remained in touch with all the rest of the world. Only the union of all Ger many into a peaceful and well gov, erned empire was needed further to encourage the business enterprise and energy which was lying dormant The technical business of the future will probably depend more and more upon the engineer. As education becomes more general and theory more exact, the production of new articles Of con- merce will depend to an increasing ex- tent upon engineering knowledge. All the problems which come up in rail. roading, mining and factory operation will require more and more engineer. ing for their solution as the number of applicable inventions increases. Ger
 many is especially strong. on fine ,engi
 neering side of business. '
