is the variety of gasoline engines,
some of the very newest and best.
In the line of stock there is not the
display that might be expected, though
it is very good, some fine looking COWS
and some swine that have the appear
ance of being in excellent condition to
make good pork never fail to attract
the attention of the people, though
they are away from the main line OF
attractions.
AS has always been the case there
are more chickens and other fowls
than other things and some of them are
good enough to enter contest for
premiums at the state fair. The coops
are all full and many of the creatures
are kept in the coops in which they
were brought. Along with this exhi-
bit there are the usual number of rab-
bits and pigeons, the existence of which
would never be suspected, without at
tending the fair.
There is one thing that has always
been detriment to the exhibition of
costly articles at the fair and that is
the insecurity of the hall in which the
exhibits are placed. While the hall
is guarded and every precaution taken
to avoid accident, q fire would work
untold mischief in the place, and this
fact alone, is sufficient to make q
business firm hesitate to place any
thing there that has value of many
dollars and all who have exhibits there
run a considerable risk in the ven
ture, but it is matter of congratula-
ton for the society that there enter
prising firms in the city who are will
ing to take the risk and brighten up
the appearance of the place by their
splendid exhibits.
There is not the large amount of
fancy work in the building that there
was last year, though there are num-
berless excellent specimens Of the han
diwork of the women Of the city.
Taken in all of it's apartm ents the
fair isIwell worth the time and money of
any person to see, aside from the races
and other attractions. It shows a
county capable of producing all that
is necessary to the comfort of it's peo-
pie and varied industry that only
lacks development to be perfect.

A Chinese Duel.

A Chinaman was killed recently IN
Bangkok in a duel with another Of his
race. The Chinese method Of dueling
Is interesting, but does not seem dead
ly. These two Bangkok Cinnamon
fought with the two forefngers Of
each hand, stabbing each other with
these in the region of the spleen and
at the same level on the other side Of
the body. The men who go in for this
kind of contest practice every morn
ing, stabbing bags Of rice or paddy
with these fingers till they can use
them like a piece Of iron

Death hy Rnflinr

In old England, before the law was
passed which prohibited "cruel and I'M
usual forms of punishment" murder
ers were often condemned to death by
boiling. In such cases the victims
were chained in large kettles Of cold
water, which was gradually heated
until it caused the flesh to drop from
the bones. The last English victim Of
the boiling death" was one Rouse, a
cook, who, it was alleged, had killed
seventeen persons.

Intrepidity.

1ntrepidity is an extraordinary
strength Of soul, which raises it above
the troubles, disorders and emotions
which the sight of great perils can
arouse in it. By this strength heroes
maintain calm aspect and preserve
their reason and liberty in the most
surprising and terrible accidents

Chinaman's face. II Cinnamon ever are
hard losers they rarely or never show it,
The legation people had a great lot Of fun
over the clumsy Chinese secretary's thump-
ing falls. They pretended to sympathize
with him keenly, but their winks n girl
maces when he wasn't lookin g indicated how
much enjoyment they were having. When
he had the skates taken of the Chinese
Secretary of Embassy resumed his bench
seat and benevolently watched the rest
Of them skate for the remainder Of the
morning seanoe.
The Chinese secretary appeared at the
rink at 0 o'clock on the following morning,
sought the proprietor OF the rink, intro
duced himself and announced that he was
going to learn how to roller skate. He
wanted to learn while there was nobody
else on the floor, he said, and was willing
to pay for private instruction during the
off hours. He arranged for private in
~struction in the art Of roller skating from
8 to 10 in the morning, II to 2 in the after
noon. and S to 7 In the evening, at which
periods the rink Is closed to the public
The proprietor of the rink detailed one of
the instructors to attend the Chinese secre-
tary during these hours.
Whent the Chinaman turnedup at the rink
on the following morning he wore an Amer
lean sack suit instead Of his Chinese official
robes. He had regular skating shoes on
his feet, and he had a pair of brand new
roller skates. the finest purchasable for
money, slung over his arm. The whole
immense rink floor space belonged to the
Chlnaman and his instructor, and they went
at IL. The Chinaman. practised roller skat-
ing for six hours that day, six hours the
next day, six the day after that, and every
day for three weeks. He was as prompt as
the town clock, and there wasn't a minute
of the entire time that his smile didn't look
to be ine~radicable.
On Wednesday morning last the Chinese
secretary invited his chief, the Chinese
Ambassador, and all Of the members OF
the Chinese official suite, to accompany
him to the roller rink for the morning
session. Whether the secretary let. his
chief and the others Of the legation stan
in on what was going to come off doesn't
appear; but the Ambassador from the
Flowery Kingdom and every member OF
his encourage down to the lowliest copyist
Of official documents went with the secretary
to the rink.
An unusually large diplomatic bunch"
including a couple Of Ambassadors, there
to look on. had already assembled at the
rink when the Chinese party arrived. All
hands gave the Cinnamon a great recep-
ton, and a crowd Of the young attaches
Of other legations got around the Chinese
secretary and pleaded with him to put the
aka ties on onoe more and try the thing
gain. The secretary demurred quite a
little, hut finally he yielded again, this
time with more apparent reluctance than
when be had put the skates on the first
m he retired to- TO- ms s. instructors ~ onbby.
and his fine pair Of roller skates and then
appeared at the gate to the floor, leaning
heavily on the arm Of his instructor, his
knees seeming 10 shake beneath his flowing
robe,

men learning to make cakes and pies. DR..
Maxwell hadn't found this in any OF the
industrial high schools.
sWhat in the world are you doing here2'
he O sked one of the male pupils, a big black
fellow, who isl waiter in the day time.
.aLearnin' to be a chef, sab" said the pupil
proudly.
On the night of the commencement the
men were arrayed in spotless white and with
white caps on their heads. They were
proudly exhibiting to male friends who
had dropped in cakes with colored frosting
arranged on tables and pointing to pies
that made the mouth water.
Most Of the pupils want to work on the
dining cars and the city is helping them to
get there '-
Right next door to the cooking class and
its kitchen, so close that its savory odos
could be detected, was the class in car
pentry. Its teacher was a colored man
and about three-fourths Of its pupils this
year were colored. There are at present
classes in mechanical drawing, embroidery,
stenogfaphy and typewriting. Next year
they are going to add some more,
The principal of this school is.Whham Fl.
Buckley. He is a coIored man and'h a been
connected with the school system a long
time. Some of his teachers are white and
some are colored. At the school exercises
they sat with their pupils Of all ages and of
both races and were as proud Of them as
any teachers could be.
But the proudest of all vas probably the
old negro, the schools oldest pupil, who
had learned to write his name in his sixty
seventh year.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-04-22

Dressmaking was the most popular. The
school started with one dressmaking class
and finished with six. On the night the
school closed choruses Of ordinations
came from these classrooms. The colored
population Of the district had turned out
to inspect what had been accomplished
and gasped at what they saw. There were
creations in blue, in red, in lavender, dresses
with lace and without lace, princess gowns
and gowns for the ballroom. And the
creators stood around ~giggling at the ex-
CARNATIONS of their friends. Some of the
pupils were middle aged who did
washing in the daytime, but their JOY was
the joy Of children.
Next to ~dressmaking came the millinery
classes in point Of popularity. There, were
five OF these. There were classes for be-
ginners and advanced classes. The crowds
of colored visitors that surged through
these rooms saw hats Of every KING and
shade.
Sixth avenue has nothing to equal some
of them, and Sixth avenue has been ablaz
with them ever since the school closed,
for. the pupils were allowed to take them
home for their own adornment or to sell
them il they wished. The city furnished
all the materia ls and taught the pupils how
to make the hat from the frame to the last
piece of ribbon on it.
If the joy of those who had turned out
these CONNECTIONS so lea to the race that
loves color in its gaudier forms was great, II
was nothing to that OF the pupils in the
cooking school. City Superintendent Max
well happened to visit the cooking lass OF
the new school soon after il wa sta rted
To his surprise he found a lot of able bodied

live to make the school a success. There
wasn't any doubt of this in a few weeks.
The school started with 200 pupils CT all
ages and wound up the term with 1000.
Next year il is expected the number will
swell to more than 1900.
Even those who wanted to see the eN-
pertinent made were hardly prepared for
some Of the things that happened. One
night soon after the school was started a
white haired colored man came along and
put his name on the rolls. He said he was
O.. All they asked him was what class be
wanted to join.
Il want to write my name" said the old
man. I'm kind of late, but I'd just like
to see how it looks"
George Bra xton-that was his name
%straightway became q member OF the first
primary class. He has been going every
night.
When the closing exercises were held
recently he was kept busy writing his name
and a lot OF other words for q circle of adj
miring friends. He was the oldest pupil
in that or any other class, but there were
many who had passed 40. Some Of these
were colored women who went out scrub
bing all day or BENT over the ironing board
until 9 O'Clock. They were there learning
to read and write, too.
There were carpenters, ~janitors and
walters, men who worked hard all day
They sat side by side with oolored boys and
girls in their teens.
Hundreds came, however, not to learn
to read or write but to learn how to make
a livelihood. They weren't asked how much
they knew. They were just told to enter
whatever class they wanted to.
