AN EDUCATTONAL TEST.

When the dear children get through the educational mill set up and oper- ated by the educators they know a lot and wisdom is seen to be justified of her children. But, of course, not all the educational mills are as thor ough and efficient as the one in New Haven. The one in Brooklyn, for in- stance. In Brooklyn the dear chill dren have been periodically and en- thusiastically singing "The Star Span- gled Banner" in school, and the edu- cators believed they knew something about the song. Assistant District Su- perintendent Campbell discovered that they did know something about it- just about something. He ordered a test of 10000 children, ranging from il to 16 years of age. Of these children only 100, or 1 per cent, could write out three stanzas of the song correctly. The things that many of the other $500 did to the poem would be past be- lief if the Brooklyn Eagle had not printed samples of the papers that were handed in. Here is one of them; | O, say can you see, by the porous fight, | Twas so proudly we air. | At the Twilight stars glooming, l And the rOkinS red press,
 And the stars perilous flgt
 came through, through tlle night,
 That our flag was still there, ] o, say does that Starbangle,
 And ever night, and Free
 Or the Land of the free, | And the home of the brave. 1 0 say does that Star-Spangle Baner, And let it always be waving above us, | And let it always wave before us,
 Or the Stars glitter before us, l And the Stripes, of the blue,
 And the Stripes and the stars
 We congratulate New Haven on the fact that this exhibition, or exposure, was in Brooklyn. Here the dear chill
 dren know what they sing as well as how to sing. Perhaps the Brooklyn
 system is training the children for

The greatest deer hunt on record in Canada was that n the wilds of Onta- rio in the open season in November. From the latest returns received by the Grand Trunk railroad system. the lines of which tap the best territory in the province for fish and game, 1t ap- pears that hunters had the fullest measure of success. In the fifteen days of the open season of 1906 the Canadian Express company alone transported 3,100 carcasses of deer, having an aggregate weight of 31S,215 pounds, all of these being shipped from points on the northern and Otta- wa divisions of the Grand Trunk. When it is considered that about five thousand hunters were operating in the several districts of the province in the open season, and that the game laws of Ontario allow the killing of only two deer by each hunter. it can be conservatively estimated that no fewer than ten thousand deer were killed in the province between Novem- ber i and 15.

Lincoln Hutchinson says that the Germans are getting trade in South America because they go at it and stick to it in the right way-with intel- ligence, persistence and resoluteness. or our own exporters he says: "They attempt to find a market for the out put of their own factories only; they sell to foreign houses in South Amer lea; their agents are frequently mere salesmen, without much technical knowledge of the goods they are sell ing, and they find themselves unable through lack of information, to grant credit. They will never gain last ing or predominant hold in the market until they adopt the broader and more costly methods of their European com- petitors.

DIR. HIS Career.

While he was in the State Department
DIT. Hill often served as Acting Secretary
of State, during Mr.. Hays absence. at
times when the international relations of
the United States had. TO be conducted
in a manner requiring skill. tact, and
judgment He was a thorough and con-
sistent student of diplomacy. and was
intimately acquainted with the history
of diplomatic proceedings. He was en-
gagged in researches of this kind when, in
1895 he received cable message at The
Hague. expressing the desire Of Presi-
dent Mckinley that he should accept ap-
pointment as Assistant Secretary Of State.
DR.. Hill was born at Plainfeld, n. D..
hfty-seven years ago. He was gradu-
ated from Bucknell University in 1874,
and afterward studied at the universe
ties OF Berlin and Paris. From 1879 to
1855 he was president of Bucknell Uni
versity, and from 1855 to 1896 was presi-
dent of the University of Rochester. 70.
nearly three years prior to his appoint
ment as Assistant Secretary Of State ne
was in Europe studying public law and
diplomacy His tendencies were all IN
the direction or more intimate asso-
citation with diplomatic practice than was
afforded by his service as Assistant Sec
Rotary OF State, and in 1903 he resigned
that Office to accept the mission 10 Swift

According TO advices received at police
headquarters, a man has been arrested
at Beckley, Raleigh County, w. Va.
whom the authorities there believe is
James Arthur Kemp, missing chief and
property clerk of the police department,
who disappeared from this city several
months ago leaving his accounts short
by several thousands of dollars.
Last evening d long-distance telephone
message was received by the police officials
from States Attorney a. \. Lilly, of West
Virginia, telling of the arrest. The sus-
pect was placed in custody at Beckley
yesterday afternoon by Constable Smith,
acting on directions from Attorney Lilly,
who was in that town on the occasion
OF the fan session of the county courts.
He Resembles Kemp.
Attorney Lilly says the man under ar
rest there closely resembles the pho
tograph of Kemp which was sent broad
cast throughout the country on the many
thousand circulars offering a reward for
his apprehension. According 10 the re-
ports received last night, the man under
arrest in the West Virginia town had
been engaged as a bookkeeper in one of
the larger business houses there, and is
known to be an expert stenographer.
short time after Attorney Lilly rec
Ognized the man and had noticed the
great similarity to the picture of Kemp
which he had at hand, the suspect sud-
denly got together his belongings and left
the place, apparently aware he was being
watched. Constable Smith was directed
10 follow him. and after ride OF twenty
five miles located him in Il small village.
He was promptly placed under arrest,
and under the escort of the constable was
taken back 10 Beckley. The fact that the
man is known to be a bOokkeeper and
stenographer, and because Of the sudden
flight from the town. leads the local au-
thorities TO believe they have perhaps sue
ceeded in locating the missing chief clerk.
Second Message Comes
About 9 o'clock last night a second
message was received by Capt. Boardman
from States Attorney Lilly. as the result
of which SerSt. Carter. one Of the Oldest
members OF the headquarters detective
force, who, like al the members OF that
command. is well acquainted with Kemp
was directed 20 start Immediately for the
West Virginia town, 10 have a look at the
man now under arrest. Detective Carter
was one Of the many persons about the
city victimiZed by kemps notes.

Led Like sheep.

"In this fight, the women and children,
most OF them not knowing what it was
all about were led like sheep. on the
ground that the mere sale OF liquor makes
a vile nation. AS / pointed out in my

That the fanaticism displayed by the
women and children in the recent Della
ware night for prohibition is enough TO
keep all thinking men from giving the
feminine half Of the world equal suf-
frage, is the belief Of Miss Phoebe Couz-
ens. who took an interest in the election
and who was in Wilmington during the
campaign.
Practically the entire population of the
State" said Miss Couzens last night, upon
her return from Wilmington, will not
have prohibition. Two counties, Kent and
Sussex. voted dry. but these comprise
but something more than one-fifth Of the
entire population Of the commonwealth.
I am firmly convinced that had the
election in Wilmington gone for the 'drys'
there would have been a bloody riot
Never was a more confscatory measure
proposed than the one on which the vote
was taken. II provided that Immediately
upon the announcement Of the election,
should It go against the saloons. they
should be closed up without even an
hours notice
Led by Churchmcn.
THE fight was led by the churchmer
and the ministers. and l contend. as

was a good example OF the fact that
there is no chance in legislating the pas

appointed minister u The Netherlands
vice Hill. and Spencer +. Eddy. Of Iili-
nois. secretary Of the embassy at Berlin,
viii become minister TO the Argentine
Republic. TO succeed Beaupre.
To members Of the diplomatic corps the
most interesting feature of these appoint
ments is that they are all promotions,
thus indicating an intention on the part
Of the government 70 continue the policy
Of recognizing merit in making selections
for diplomatic posts.
DR.. lin was minister 10 Switzerland
before being appointed minister 10 The
Netherlands. and Mr., Beaupre served sue
cessivcly as secretary OF legation al
Guatemala. secretary Of legation al Bo-
gotta, and minister to Colombia before go
ing 20 the Argentine.
Mr.. Eddy IS young man who received
his first diplomatic experience as private
secretary 10 the late John Hay. when Mr.
Hay was ambassador to the Court Of St.
James Subsequently, he was clerk in
the State Department, third secretary OF
the embassy at London, second secretary
Of the embassy at Paris. secretary Of le-
cation at Constantinople. and secretary
OF embassy at St Petersburg. His sister
was married in July TO Albert J. Bev-
| eridge, of Indiana.
The selection of DR. Hill for the Ger
man mission is commended particularly
| in Washington. where he has many warm
! friends and admirers who nave followed
/ his work with great interest. He spent
several years here as Assistant Secretary
Of State under the Mckinley and Roose-
welt administrations. His ability as a

/ national law was recognized by his ap-
pOintment to the chair of diplomacy in
