A GREAT WORK IN DANGER.
Noble Response tn Its Appeal to Berea
for Help.

for Help.
In the Union Church last Sunday
morning, Prof. Dinsmore made an APP
peal for Okolona Industrial College.
This institution is located at Okolona,
Miss. It's chief aim Is to give edu-
cation and industrial training to col
ored boys and girls. II also has a
department for the training of teach
ers IL is modelled somewhat after
Booker T. Washington's school az
Tuskegee. Ala.
II was founded four years ago by
Wallace A. Battle. former student
OF Berea, whom many of the readers
of The Citizen will remember. Mr..
Battle had long had Il In mind to
found a school among his own people
and after graduating from the Col
lege at Berea, chose 0kolona as a
location. His only assets were his
own faith and courage and the COOP
GRAFTON of the people who were inter
ested in such an enterprise. Money
he had none, but by the assistance Of
friends a considerable amount OF land
was purchased and a building erected
Students flocked in from the start
and the institution prospered. Last
year the attendance ran up TO four
hundred and many were turned away
for lack of room.
Students and teachers worked to-
gether In the school room, on the
farm and in the shop, In this way,
and with the help OF small tuition
fee, such as the poor people could
manage to pay, the school has been
self-supporting.
The main building, a three story
wooden structure, was a combination
of school rooms, boarding han, rooms
for teachers and a dormitory for girls.
A second building was erected, a barn
like structure of two stories, consist
ing OF a shop on the ground floor and
a boys dormitory above. Last spring
this building was destroyed by fire.
Poor as II was, It was a great loss.
However, friends rallied and a shop
was soon supplied. Then as soon as
the school year was ended PRESIDENT
Battle FASTENED to the north TO make
an appeal for funds to- erect a boys
dormitory, Twelve thousand dollars
was needed to meet the demands OF
the situation. Mr.. Battle labored ar
duously thru the summer months and
about half of the required amount wa
given or pledged. After attending 10

THE GYPSY MOTH.
How q Careless Frenehman's Expert
ments led to Trouble.

On a certain ill omened day in
1869 gentle breeze rippled through
the streets of quiet town in east
ern Massachusetts. 1t left chimneys
unharmed and hardly rippled tree,
vet if it had been cyclone 1t could
hardly have done more damage, for
in a bare little frame tenement
house on side street stood Pando-
ra's box full of troubles waiting to
be spread broadcast over the land,
and the breeze furnished the need
ed KEY. Presently the owner Of the
house and of Pandora's box, =
Frenchman. known to his neighbors
for his curious experiments in silk
raising and for his absorption in the
study of strange insects, was seen
searching anxiously in the grass out
side his window. People who saw
him said that he seemed much dis
turbed at the failure of his quest.
Well might he be, for he had just
let loose one of the plaques of Egypt
upon fair and fertile land. He had
lost 'le zigsag," and the new world
gained the gypsy moth.
Mr.. Trouvelot, the silk grower of
Medford, can hardly expect to have
his name pleasantly remembered
among his quondam townsmen and
countrymen, but he should be given
credit both for intelligence to fore
see the consequences of his negli-
gence and for the candor immediate
ly to give notice of the danger to
which the public was exposed. But
his warning fell on deaf ears. No
one realized that the pest, which is
nuisance rather than danger in
Europe, would gain such headway
in new home, and, freed from its
hereditary enemies, was to devastate
wherever it went. 1t would have
been economy, if the future could
have been foreseen, to appropriate
100000 if need be to quarantine
the whole neighborhood, to fell the
trees, to raze the houses to the
ground, to plow the fields under
and leave that part of the town a
desert. But no one rose to the
emergency till it was too late.

IS NOW PROGRESSING
Electric Railway Projected for
Pleasant Valley

An electric railroad connecting
Denver and Greeley and throwing out
its feeders through the fertile valleys
of the north and east is now almost
settled fact. The survey has been
completed by j. D. Houseman, rail-
road builder and promoter, and a
move has already been made toward
securing right Of way and other ne
cessary concessions.
A meeting was held Monday even
ing at the Union Bank, attended by
Mr. Houseman, j. A. Webb OF st.
Louis. the directors Of the CONNER
cialssclu and citizens to the number
of about twenty-five. Senator Clay
ton presided, the meeting was more
or less informal, and was held for
the purpose of affording Mr.. Webb
an opportunity sof acquainting him
self with conditions and the desires
of the people. Mr.. Webb represents
body of capitalists in st. Louis
who will finance the enterprise. 1t
is necessary to know whether the
people of Greeley and vicinity will
put their shoulders to the wheel and
help to secure right of way, entrance
into Greeley, etc.
This road will enable shippers to
connect with trunk lines not now
coming into Greeley, through their
converging point, Denver. The first
feeder to be built will probably be a
spur running out through Pleasant
Valley and tapping the Lone Tree
district. This district is from six
to ten miles, at different points,
from Greeley; is very rich and pro-
ductive and as yet untapped by
any railroad. 1t embraces an area
of from seven to ten miles, and
may be bounded practically as fol-
lows: Running north to the Cam
field ranch, twenty-five miles north
east of Greeley, east to Grow Creek,
south to Platte river, and on the
west merging into the Greeley dis
trict, all east of what is properly
designated as Pleasant Valley.
The farmers in the Lone Tree dis
trict are agitating for a sugar fac
tory, which, investigators say, would
easily find a most desirable site along
the banks of the Lone Tree creek,
which furnishes perpetual water.
Pledges of 5000 acres for it are said
to be awaiting the asking.
This district is level, practically
all under irrigation, and as fertile as
Is to be found in northern Colorado,
which is saying great deal. Mag
niticent crops are now growing upon
1t, and it is only awaiting a closer
connection with the worlds markets
to make it one of the most valuable
agricultural districts in the United
States.

THE TEACHER TAUGHT.
Why Sir Edwin Arnold Ceased to Use
the Rod on His Pupils.

the Rod on His Pupils.
Sir Edwin Arnold, in his autobl-
ography, tells the unique story OF
how, as master of the Birmingham
Grammar school, he was caned by
one of the boys.
The class was engaged on Cicero.
Some disorder occurred near the
masters chair, and seizing the cane
he gave nasty cut upon the too
tempting back of one youth who
seemed to be the offender" ''lf
YOU please, SIR" said the boy,
souirming, Il did nothing. 1t was
Scudamore that kicked me in the
stomach underneath the desk"
The statement was true. Scuda-
more had demanded from his neigh
Dor, quite illegitimately, the expla-
nation of an obscure passage and,
not being attended to, had taken this
much too emphatic means of enforc-
ing attention. Having called the
class up, Arnold said to the donbly
wronged boy, who was still rubbing
the place: at is l who am most to
blame for having dealt you an unde-
served blow. Take that cane and
give it back to me as hard as you
got it," "No, SIR" the lad answer
ed. ''I can't do that" The whole
great schoolroom was now listening,
masters and all. Arnold insisted.
"Jones, you must obey me, and If
you disobey l am sorry to say shall
make you write out that page of
Cicero three times, staying in to do
it."
Whether it was desperation at
this dreadful alternative or the
sparkling eyes of his class fellows,
evidently longing to have the good
luck themselves of clicking mas
ter, that suddenly inspired Jones, I
know not. What l do know is that
he reached forth his hand, took the
cane and dealt me no sham stroke,
but the severest and most telling cut
over my shoulders. I had no idea
that the ridiculous instrument could
sting as it did, like a scorpion. Grub
bing the place" in my own turn, ]
managed to thank Jones for his
obliging compliance and then said
to him: "Break that detestable
weapon across you knee and throw
it out of the window. Never again
will we have anything to do with
such methods here"
Sir Edwin Arnold adds that cor
poral punishment is, in his view, a
cowardly and clumsy expedient and
that che who cannot teach without
the stick had better get some other
business. London Globe.

An Innocent Aceompliee.

Residents in certain West End
avenue block are surprised at the
suddenly refractory disposition of
the postman on that beat. Time
was when he obligingly stopped and
delivered letters to. persons whom
he met in the street. Nowadays all
such requests are answered with a
stubborn denial. About two weeks
ago that neighborhood was thrilled
with news of an elopement. Upon
investigation it turned out that the
match was made by means of clan
destine correspondence which was
carried on with the postman's aid.
The young man and woman in the
case wrote the letters, but the post
man handled at least half of them,
and by allowing himself to be whee-
died into giving them up to the
young woman half block away
from her own door he prevented her
family from finding out what was
going on. The enraged parents are
now denouncing him for completely
in the scheme, which accounts for
his sudden reformation.-New York

Mozart's Memory.

Mozart had memory for music
and for nothing else. On attending
the papal mass at the Sistine chap
ell he was greatly impressed with the
musical service and asked for copy,
but was told none could be given
him, as the music was not allowed to
60 out. He went to the next service,
listened attentively, went away and
wrote down the whole from memory.
When "Don Giovanni" was first per
formed there was not time to copy
a part for the harpsichord, so Mo
Fart conducted the entire opera,
about three hours long, and played
harpsichord accompaniments to the
songs and choruses without a note
OF music to assist his memory.

ola sho...

'sThere are hundreds of men in
New York city," said a salesman in
a downtown shoe store, "who are in
directly adding to the income of the
corporations controlling the shoe
business. A man wearing an old
pair Of shoes, sometimes only half
worn, purchases new pair and
leaves his old ones here. Gradually
others accumulate, and in time there
are, say, hundred pairs. These
are placed in pasteboard boxes,
wrapped and tied. About once a
month a dealer in secondhand foot
gear comes along, bids on the lot
and gets it. In this way the COM
pany profits during the course of a
year some hundreds Of dollars. Of
course, the secondhand man gets
stuck once in awhile, but most of
them also realize a profit by selling
the shoes again after they have been
repaired and polished. New Yerk

A Wise Fish.

In Java they have a species of
fish that carries a very useful gun
with him wherever he goes. This
queer fish is called the jaculator,
and his weapon is combination air
and water gun, which nature has
provided him with. The jaculator
has the power of puckering the
mouth into a small, round tube and
squirting water through it. He is
such an expert gunner that when he
observes beetle or fly on twig
above the water he invariably knocks
the insect from his perch, even
though the distance be five or six
feet. There are seven other varie-
ties OF these water gun fishes, which
are known as "sportsmen" and "gun-
ners" on account of their queer hab-
its.

REAL SEA sERpEN1s.
Giant Ribbon Fish With Red Plunes
and Heavy Names.

Giant Ribbon Fish With Red Plunes
and Heavy Names.
An interesting form Of the sea
serpent is the SO called ribbon fish,
several specimens of which the writ
er has seen on the shores of Santa
Catalina island. This creature is
one of the most beautiful of all
fishes. 1t resembles white or silver
ribbon slashed with black. A long
fin extends its entire length, and
over the head form a number of
plumes or pompons of vivid red
that in long specimens might easily
be taken for name waving to and
fro.
That this delicate ribbon fish at
tains very large size is generally
believed, as good sized specimens
have been captured. Some years ago
fisherman was hauling a net on
the coast of Scotland when it was
found that some heavy weight was
holding the net back. Additional
help was obtained, and dozen men
finally hauled in monster fish,
which was estimated to weigh 500
pounds. 1t was gigantic ribbon
fish, thirty feet or more in length,
SO long and heavy that it required
the efforts of half a dozen men to
carry it along the deck.
1t was veritable sea serpent,
and extending from its head were
tall, deep red or scarlet plumes, like
fins, which formed a sort of name,
frequently described as being seen
on the typical sea serpent If these
fishes attain length of thirty feet
there is no reason why they may not
exceed this, and it is very possible
that some of the "sea serpents"
which have been observed at vari-
Gus times were gigantic ribbon
fishes, which came up from the deep
sea and moved along with undulat,
ing motion at the surface. One of
the most remarkable as well as gi-
gantic animals of the deep sea is the
giant squid, favorite tidbit of the
sperm whale.
The size to which these animals
grow, their strength and their hid
eous appearance place them on par
with many of the weird and gro
tesque creatures of past age. The
squid undoubtedly attains length
of nearly if not over 100 feet.-Chi-
