but the beauty and romance of the
place were not then appreciated. Last
week | was staying over night with

More Coast Line Matters.

The rendering of another opinion in
the Atlantic Coast Line mandamus
proceedings by the supreme court Tues
day created scarcely a ripple on the
surface at Tallahassee. We have
grown so accustomed TO the man
damns that the opinion this week was
the same old story IN the same Old
way" Again the court, speaking
through one of its most learned men,
bers. Mr.. justice Whitfield, says that
the writ must be amended. Joy TO the
heart of the country member of the
legislature il is when he can offer an
amendment with a decided accent on
the 'ment
The atorneygeneral hardly cares
asmuch for the opportunity to amend
as the hlII-Dllly Legislators The court
so specifically defines the character
of the amendment necessary that
there is hardly any doubt that the
next decision will conclude the mat

The essential part of the opinion
upon the motion 10 strike and motion

The motion TO strike parts OF the

BLOCKHEAOS IN SCHOOL.

The Tampa Tribune satiriZeS Prof.
Tom NcBeath. OF the Florida School
Exponent. for saying there are many
children who should not be sent to
school after they have acquired the
rudiments of a practical education.
but should be put to work learning
some useful and profitable trade
Prof. McBeath is right. We know
from experience both as pupil and
teacher extending through twenty
years that there are many children
whom nature has not endowed with
brains enOug to acquire what might
be called an intellectual education.
They are capable of graSping the ele-
mentary studies. such as spelling,
reading. writing and simple parts of
arithmetic, but beyond that hey can
accomplish nothing. They may learn
in the concrete but they cannot grasp
in the abstract
They cannot be taught the mechan-
ism and operation OF a locomotive by
lectures and drawings, but they may
learn these things from actual eXper-
fence with the machine. Nor can
they learn agriculture by theory
alone
Hence. if We find in the public
schools children who, having acquir-
ed the essential rudiments. are men
tally unable to progress further. il is
but justice TO them to take them out
and give them practical training in
some art or industry in which they
may manifest an aptitude. Thus our
multitude OF factories and legiOns of
machines may be supplied with Capa-
bic hands. without brilliant brains and
accomplishments. 10 keep them in OPP

IdlenesS among children is the fruit
full prOgenitOr. so 10 speak, of loafers,
gamblers, or id Omme genus. Keep
them busy and give them no time 70
learn and perpetrate mischief. That ;
the best policy for all concerned.
We don't mean that they should be
worked TO death OF course not. But
give them useful employment, that
for which they are best suited. and
pay them for il 10 inspire their pride
and ambition by the knowledge that
they are earning something. And

WOMAN KISSES MAN
AFTER SHOOTING HIM.
Mixed Relations of Norristown Families
and Jealousy Leads to Prob
able Murder.

NORRISTOWN, Pa, July i'll ex-
pected to end all our troubles" was the
explanation given by pretty Mrs. Fern
Arlington, aged Ss, in the police court
last night, when arraigned for the
probable murder of Samuel Meng, aged
33, whom she shot at the supper table
at their home. in the old Ridgway man
sion on DeKalb street.
.Meng made an ante-mortem state
ment of his version of the affair in
Charity Hospital, DR.. C. H. Mann, his
physician, pronouncing the bullet
wound in his back fatal. Mrs. Arling
ton was sent to Jail to await the re-
suit Of the injuries.
According to Mrs. Arlington, she de-
serted her husband in Indiana ten
years ago, taking with her her daugh-
ter Lizzie. In her travels in the East
she met Meng, who, fascinated with
her beauty, left his wife, in Philadel-
phia, and, taking his two children, he
and Mrs. Arlington combined the two
families and lived together, the Meng
children calling Mrs. Arlington aunt"
After moving to the Ridgway house,
in April. Meng, according to Mrs Ar
lington, began paying attention to an
Arlington recently and threatened to
shoot her.
The next day Mrs. Arlington bought
a revolver and with this weapon she
shot Meng After shooting him she
threw her arms around him and said:
"Oh Sam, / am sorry l shot youi'
