ENGINEER STEVENS, LETTER.
Public Curiosity Whetted by Intfma-
 tfOns of Its Contents.


 Springfield Republican. So much is being printed about the letter of Chief Engineer Stevens to the President, in which he stated the grounds of his dissatisfaction and jus tified his resignation, that the letter ought, in justice perhaps to the writer, to be made public. Versions of 1t are appearing, in abstract, which indicate that the original is being shown in Washington very. freely, and. of course, no one but the President has posses sion of the original letter. It would be much fairer to MT. Stevens. under these circumstances, to print his let ter entire and thus allow him to speak for himself. Public curiosity, mean while, Is being whetted, for the Pres ident Is reported to have been astound- ed by the engineers statements, which are said to have covered the policy of the administration in matters Of transporta sion, not connected with mere canal digging. Many large books have been written on the Panama Ca nal, but there will soon be room for one devoted solely to the canals en- gineers.

Nutter was found by policemen

he that he had to be carried to the
prison. He never spoke after being
taken to the lookup. So alarming
was his condition that City Physl-

that the generally accepted Limitation

seems to be between so and so; the

that he knew of no one who could
become great factors in the eradica-
tion of this disease than teachers.
He also spoke of typhoid fever in

where she continued her instruction
in primary work which she has
been holding there daily this week.
Maj. Lee,took up general discus
sion of problems confronting the
teacher. The study of the will and
influence Of the will, he said, is OF
great importance to the teacher. He
also spoke of attention and the cul-
tivatlon Of power to attract atten-
tion-invoiuntary attention has no

able value and all that is learned by
the latter is retained. He also
