Bronson Alcott's System in England.

Educational circles in Wolverhamp-
ton district are interested in a re-
markable incident which occurred in
a voluntary school. A boy had been
punished by the headmaster, and
complaint being made to the man.
ayers the chairman, who is a we'll
known clergyman, went to the school
and asked that he should receive the
punishment which had been inflicted
on the boy, so that he could test and
judge of its severity.
The headmaster explained that the
boy had received six strokes, three
on each hand.
Well" said the reverend gentle
man, I'll take them" and he held
out his hand in the conventional boys
fashion. The headmaster screwed
up his courage, and in the presence OF
the assistant teachers and class ad-
ministered six vigorous strokes.
The clergyman lost his smile at the
second stroke and WINGED at each OF
the succeeding ones, to the great Joy
of the assembled boys. After the
punishment he picked up his hat and
%hurriedly left the room.-London

ant place in the wardrobe. Here Is
one that can be made either entirely
of lace or some pretty lingerie ma
terial or Of muslin with facings and
sleeves Of lace as liked. The latter
method is, as a matter of course, a
bit more economical and when costly
material is used is in every way de-
sirable, although the entire garment
always possesses certain inherent ad-
vantages. In this instance imitation
Irish crochet is the lace chosen and
the sleeves are cut off at the elbows
and shirred to form puffs with frills
of thinner lace making the finish.
But deep cuffs a be added, making

MARVIN MURDER THEORY
Farm Hand Suspected.o of Causing
Missing Delaware Lads Death.
Search For Kidnapers Abandoned
Body May Have Been in Bag
Carried Away.

Dover, Del.-Through a statement
made to Detective Frank H.. Lore, Of
New Jersey, by Horace Caldwell. a
farm hand, of Kits Hammock, Frank
H.. Butler, who is now locked up In
the Dover jail, Is charged with the
murder Of Horace N. Marvin, Jr., the
four-year-old son of DR.. H. N. Marvin,
who disappeared. mysteriously from
Bay Meadows, the Marvin farm, on
the morning Of March 4.
' Butler, who was a farm hand en-
ployed by Charles Woodall, the man
who sold Bay Meadows to DR.. Marvin,
was the last person known to have
seen the Marvin lad. Suspicion has
been directed against him for several
weeks.
Butler a few weeks ago obtained a
Job as deckhand on the steamer John
P. Wilson, Of the Dover and Philadel-
phia Navigation Company.
Lore, Lorenzo D. Woodruff and
James Hawkins, State detective, of
Delaware, went to Philadelphia and
boarded the steamboat John P. Will
son, which was about to start for Leb-
anon.
After the vessel reached Delaware
waters at the mouth of Jones River,
Butler was served with a warrant is
sued by Justice Of the Peace E. F.
Wood and sworn to by Detective Haw-
kins. He took his arrest coolly. Dur
ing the next three hours, up to the
time the vessel locked at Lebanon,
Butler was put through a sweating
process by the detectives.
Butler denies knowledge of the dis
appearance of the child and reiter-
ates that the boy was sitting on a
haystack on the Marvin farm when he
and several other men, who were
moving the effects of the former own
er of the land, left the place. Butler,
the barn and load up wheat screen
ings in bags. This he did, and when
Caldwell later entered the barn he
found that Butler had loaded three
bags into a wagon and a fourth was
lying on the floor Of the barn. Cald-
well says he lifted this bag into the
wagon himself and found 1t heavy,
although Butler had said it was filled
with corks such as are used by fisher
men for nets. This bag, Caldwell
says, disappeared. Acting on the the
DRY that this bag contained the body
Of the child the detectives decided to
charge Butler with murder.
1t Is the theory of Lore and Haw-
kins that Butler accidentally a over
the boy, and, rather than take the
dead body to the house, concealed 1t
in a sack Of corks and removed it to
the woods, a mile and a half from the
Marvin farm, where he buried 1t.

way of change we have the plain lit

nor short and are finished with trim
