TtEg TEAcHEaSs ASSOCIATION.

The State Educational Association
meeting at st, Augustine last week was
very successful and profitable one,
and all who were present enjoyed the
occasion very much. The following
were elected as officers for the ensuing
year: President, w. d. earn, Of Ocala,
superintendent of public instruction Of
Marion county; vice-president, Mrs. r.
B. Rutherford, Of Jacksonville, princi-
pal Of the Springfield Grammar School.
Secretary, J. G. Kellum, Of TalIahas-
see, secretary Of the State Board Of
Control; Mariana was chosen as the
place for the next annual meeting.
From the excellent address Of Presi-
dent A. M. G. Russell, county superin-
tendent Of fernando county and editor
Of the Brooksville Argus, we make the
following extracts:
THE Legislature, however, should be
given well-merited praise for one piece
Of legislation that has resulted in great
benefit to the school system. ] refer
to the enactment Of the Buchanan law.
While 1t has caused great temporary
inconvenience and some hard feelings,
the outcome will be to the permanent
welfare Of all the schools and all the
children Of the State. A system Of ed
ucatiOn had developed that was top
heavy, too many State schools and too
little money appropriated TO the COM
mon schools, where the masses of the
children are being, have always been
and will always be educated, without
further advancement Happily, the
Buchanan law corrected this. Teachers
have q right to hearing before the
lawmakers on school subjects at least,
and they should notify the Legislature
that the upheaval and tearing up Of
settled conditions have left educational
affairs 80 that they cannot stand any
more experiments, friction and uncer-
tainty. Nothing more should be done
TO the Buchanan law except TO correct
some errors in minor details, The main
features Of the law should be permitted
TO remain as they are. "
THE State College for Women, To-
Gated at Tallahassee, Is admirably Off
cered and beautifully located and de-
serves to be characterized as one of the
brightest jewels in the crown Of FlOri.
da's glory. President A. A. Murphree
and his able colaborers are doing good
and q great one for our young women
of the State, and the institution over
which he presides should have all the
help Il needs from the State, and the
patronage of it's citizens. The welfare
Of the daughters, their pride for one of
the gYandest institutions of the State,
and their self-FnteFest should induce pa
rentf TO send their daughters to this
school, rather than to schools beyond
the confines Of the State"

 New York March 16 -The Herald to- day says '-s
 While the conference of railroad presidents, held here yesterday, which was attended by McCrea. of the Penn sylvania, Newman of the New York Central; Mellen of the New Haven and Hughitt, of the Chicago and North western. decided not to go 10 Wash ington in a body, according to the plan outlined a few days ago at least one of them sent a communication to Mfr.

 Mir. Mellen, The Herald says. went back to New Haven after the meeting and from there. sent message to the president. asking for an appointment to confer with him. He is awaiting MT. RooseveIts reply and will go to Washington whenever the president desires to see him.
 In railroad circles, opinion appear ed to be divided as to the wisdom of the step decided on by the four men. Officials identified with Western roads expressed indifference to the matter. They felt, they said. that they were not being represented in the confer ence. They regarded 1t more as a Morgan affair.

 OF
 THE DEFENSE Delmas Asks For More
 Subpoenas. JEROME TO CLOSE MONDAY Thaw's Counsel Will Then Go Into
 Sur-Rebuttal. More AIienists wilI Be Put on stand aud District Attorneys Cross
 Examination Win Probably Be Extensive.

New York. March 16.--Attorney Delmas tonight conferred with his as- soeiates in the defense of Harry K. Thaw today. mapping out plans for the sur-rebuttal work at the triai. which when resumed on Monday, will be entering it's ninth week. Applica- tions were made to the District Attor- ney's office for several additional sub poenas for the defense. but just who they were for could not be learned.
 From the plans laid today it seems that the better part of next week VIII be consumed by the defense and that the case may not go to the jury until some time during the week beginning Monday, the 25th instant.
 When court convenes on Monday, MT Jerome will present the last bit or evidence he has for the prosecution. He will renew his request of last Fri day afternoon that Justice Fitzgerald admit fin evidence the photographic and carbon copies of the affidavit Eve iyn Nesbitt is said to have made in Abraham HummeiiS office.
 This affidavit. Mr. Jerome contends, is competent evidence to contradict the statement that Mrs. Thaw was drugged and betrayed by Stanford White. In it. the young woman Is said to have sworn that the stories concerning White were untrue and that Harry K. Thaw beat 2hef when she told him there was no truth in the statement that Stanford White had betrayed her.
 WflI Admit Photographic Copy.
 Justice Fitzgerald having permitted Hnmmel and his clerk to testify as to the making of the affidavit evidently intends to allow Mir. Jerome to put the papers in evidence and read whatever of the contents he chooses.
 Mir! Delmas said yesterday afternoon sI. zzR ...1 11l ,n4 no objection to the affidavit going in evidence He referred to the "ques~ tionable shape in which this evidence" comes. apparently will content himself with the attack he made on the credi- bility of Hummel as witness MT. Delmas will probably have young Mrs. Thaw take the stand and repeat that she did not know the contents of the paper that will be produced against her That will then go before the Jury to decide between the prisoners wife and the convicted lawyer.
 Thaw's wife and the Countess of Yarmouth. his sister called on him in the Tombs and reported that he was In high spirits. When the matter of the affidavit is settled, MT. Jerome will rest his case and Mir. Delmas will then take dp tho work of sur-rebuttal. AS he in- 1 tends to call several alienists and as District Attorney Jerome has commit | ted himself to extensive cross-examina- | lions of this class of witnesses, there | Is no way to tell just how long a tims the defense will require in putting it's last evidence before the twelve mer who are to decide Thaw's fate.

 A thin, emaclated man ambied up and took his place before the magis- trate He said that he had no homs and no money. He wanted Co be sent to the workhouse. The magistrate sent him.
 It was hours afterward before tho identity of the prisoner was known. He was once James McNally, the king of the green goods swindiers, who Tn his time has made s6O0,000 out of the eome-ons that he lured to New York. McNally in his prime was clear-eyed and as bright as a steel trap. He be- gan his career with a capital of $500 and so fast did his nefarious traffic grow that it was a dull day that did not bring him from three to half a dozen victims McNally sent out cir- cuiars to his intended victims, usually making arrangements to meet them in Philadelphia or some other nearby city. He would show them $50,O00 In new greenbacks and would offer them for $I0, ,000, convincing the come-on that he was purchasing commercials that could never be distinguished from the genuine article
 The last act in the drama was the exchange of saw dust and paper for the savings of tho victim. The down. ward career of the green goods king begin when he was seut to prison in 1896. He is now a Bowery wreck.
