Possibly there ~may be a clue in the action taken on
another extradidon case last week. A New York detective
came to Perth Amboy with an extradidon warrant for one
IGynala de Festetcs on the charge of kidnapping his own son.
On this warrant appeared the Endorsement of Governor Stokes,
made with a rubber stamp by some clerk in the Office of the
Secretary of State. Think Of it, ye champions of freedom. A
mans liberty battered away and himself consigned to Lord
knows what by the Authority of a clerk bearing a rubber stamp
with the Governors name on it
Governor Stokes has the floor. j M.

Knem HIS creditors.

Ed was a mighty bright negro be-
longing to a family in Columbia, Tenn.
He had been a faithful servant for
many years, and by saving n care
fully investing his wages he had belied
the usual thriftlessness attributed with
more or less justice to the majority of
his race.
His master was an attorney, and one
morning. before he had arisen, the law
yer was called upon by Ed, who said:
Say, boss. All wants yo' ter draw me
up a m~awgidge."
"a mortgager' asked his master.
What do you want a mortgage for?"
well, Abs lone lent Unc' 'Lisha fve

For how long have you lent the
money?r

One month! Why, the interest on
that amount for thai time wouldn't pay

There is something not right about the manner in which
one c. B. Thompson was kidnapped from New Monmouth and
taken to Pittsburg, and it is very much up to Governor Stokes
to make a thorough investigation. When application was made
to Governor Stokes for authority to take Thompson from New
Jersey to Pennsylvania the Governor was notified of all the cir
cumstances of the case and, according to reports, he promised
not to do anything without first notifying Thonpson's attor-
neys. The next thing that they heard their client had been ar
rested and was over the Pennsylvania border. That the whole
proceeding was lawless is confirmed by the fact that the charge
on which Thompson's extradihon was sought, and obtained, has
been dropped and a new one substtuted-one for which an extra
EDITION warrant cannot be obtained.

An Ancient nature story.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In these days of nature stories and ma
ture fakes, 1t might be well to recall that
many strange stories that might not come
within the purview of students of natural
history, actually happen. Even some of
the things that our friend Theodore the
Great might think impossible, may be true.
An eye-opener may he the following ex-
tract from a letter printed in Appleton's
Journal in 1871. and now resurrected from
a scrapbook. The letter was signed u.
Stockbridge, U. s. NJ" and was dated at
Plainheld, N. j. 1t describes an incident
observed by Officers on'the United States
flagship of Commodore Connor," while
paying a visit to DIR. Stevens" an "ani-
NAL lover at t west end Of the island
of Santa Cruz. Of course, Santa Cruz rum
has been responsible for some eceentrici-
ties. but IL it affected u. Stocxbridge" on
the occasion of the visit, the effects had
presumably worn off, so a considerable
amount of BELIEF may be placed in the
story, the pertinent extract from which Is
as follows:
while we were waiting for breakfast a
lizard, which had accidentally lost about
two inches of his tail, came up the long
flight of steps to the veranda walked
into the parlor, bringing in his mouth the
mart of the tail that had been cut OF, ana
laid It at the feet of the kind old doctor.

Why the South is Spending Money

The careful student of year-by
year developments recognizes that
mighty things have been wrought
in the South in the past ten years
and understands why on every side,
in city, in town and in country,
building implovents representing
the expenditure of hundreds and
millions of dollars are under way,
first class streets and rural high
ways are being made, sewerage and
drainage systems, water works and
electric light systems are being in
stalled, railroads are double track
ing and extending their lines,
modern docks and terminal facili-
ties are being built; and, under
standing these things, he sees why
the call for labor on the farm, in
the, field, in the factory, in the
lumber camp and in the mine, is
far in excess of the supply. Manu-

Bad Spelling.

The Pickens Sentinel thinks the
schools of the present day do not
pay enough attention to reading and
spelling. That has no doubt been
said and thought of schools in every
generation since schools were first
established, and it will be So through
out all time. There may be some
ground for the statement that pupils
do not learn to spell well. They
never did. They never will. Spell
ing is a very rare accomplishment.
Very few pupils stay at school long
enough to learn how. But they
spell as well now as those who went
before them; as well, we mean, as
those who We're of equal attainments
in other lines of book learning. 1t
is said that George Washington was
miserable speller. Many other
men distinguished in history spelled
badly. Even some excellent schol-
ars misspell the commonest words.
Scholars give good deal of at
tention to spelling; but they must
teach other things as well, and can
not give an undue amount of time
to this subject. And if they should
they would surfeit their pupils with
it without accomplishing any good
result. AS spelling is not strictly
an intellectual accomplishment, and
does not require any special brain
culture, it would be mistake to
make it the chief end of school
training.
1t is, highly desirable that one
should spell well, and we would not
say anything to discourage the ac-
quirement of this accomplishment;
but it is idle to expect good spelling
from the average pupil, who goes to
school only a short time, and is
crazy to get out into the world to
make living. Our observation
is that the young people of today
are no more deficient in the art of
spelling than in any other branch
of lcarning-the deficiency arising,
not from neglect of that subject
by the schools, but from the fact
that most pupils stay at school only
long enough to get a smattcring of
knowledge on various branches.
The deficiencies reveal themselves
more plainly in spelling than in
other lines of study and are there
fore more noticed. Newberry

GENIUS RECOGNIZED.
An Exhibition of Inventors not yet
on the Market at the James
town Exposition.

Norfolk Va, May PA most
interesting feature of the James
town Exposition, on Hampton
Roads, near Norfolk, Virginia,
which opened April 26th -and will
close November 3Oth, is the "Sec-
ton of Invention," in which in
ventors are invited to display their
inventions and demonstrate their
value to visitors.
The invitation is open to all, and
every facility is offered in the way
of floor space, tables, shelves, ad-
vertising cards and labels, electric
current, gas, lights, etc. A modest
fee OF from ten to not more than
thirty dollars, except in very
special cases, is charged for such
space and service. The service in
cludes, as well as the general care
of models, explanations to visitors
and the return of the exhibit at the
close of the exposition.
Awards will be made of gold
silver and bronze medals and
diplomas, That inventors are alive
to this unparalleled opportunity for
making public their creations, is
shown by the fact that within four
weeks after the first notice was sent
out by the Bureau of Inventions of
the jamestown Exposition, applica-
ton has been made for more than
five thousand square feet and new
applications are now coming at the
rate of a hundred a day.
The inventors are not the only
ones who will profit by this display
for the exhibition cannot fail to be
of interest and material benefit to
the public at large. Never before
has such an opportunity been pre-
sented at any exposition, and now
that the first step has been made in
this direction, such exhibitions of
inventions will no doubt become a
part of all future expositions.
