Miss Beesun'S Resignation.

Fifty years ago, then just / . years
Of age, Miss Susan V. Beeson began
her career as public school teacher,
in which che has won deserved dis
tinction.
There are teachers and teachers.
The boys aud girls who have enjoyed
the benefit OF Miss Beeson's instruction,
many of whom are men and women
now, doing sturdy work in the world,
unite to say that the subtle personal
influence exercised was of more worth
to them than the facts of history,
literature or art which she communi-
Gated. Teachers of this kind are the
real leaders. They are the character
builders, the helpers who by tact and
understanding help the young people
to help themselves. They touch the
spr;r.;s of character and arouse the
latent powers of the child and youth.
The pupil of such teacher does not
merely receive headful Of learning.
He is stimulated and grows from
within; he becomes sef.developing,
self.determining man.
II the value OF public service be
measured by the manhood and woman
hood trained for social duties, we can.
not rate too highly the worth OF
women who, like Miss Beeson, work
year after year in obscurity, quietly,
without self-assertion, with loving care
to elicit and perfect the elements OF
character which make for robust good
and truth.
Such public servants are not with
out honor, even in their own com
munity, although they are in obscurity
They are remembered in quiet heart
who are grateful to them. But in tbi'
case the facts are well enough know
to justify the suggestion of visible

The above deserved compliment vii
be appreciated by the thousands o
people who have been under Mis-
, Beeson's influence. Miss Beeson ha
been granted leave Of absence in
stead OF having her resignation &C
cepted, aud in February will come L

her niece, Mrs. NJ. p. Cayce, and sh
will be welcome addition to Farm

Frustrated 0y Story IOlQ ABOUT the
Conduct of Their "Benefactors
PITTSBURG, Feb. Mrs. Charles j.
Holman, mother of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, is Frustrated at her home in
Brookline, and tonight the attending
physicians say that she is in a most
serious condition. Her collapse came
after she had listened to the startling
testimony given by her daughter, as
it was repeated to her over the tele-
phone from a newspaper office con-
nected by direct wire with the Criminal
Courts building in New York.
For weeks Mrs. Holman has been
under terrible nervous strain as the
result of the trouble, and her daughter
and she had fondly hoped that the
reputation of Stanford White, the man
whom she has always claimed was her
and her children's benefactor, would be
unsullied. To hear Evelyn's testimony,
even at second hand, was more than
she could stand. The newspaper, as
soon as Evelyn went on the stand this
morning, called up Mrs. Holman and
apprised her of the fact. The mother
eagerly asked to know what her daugh-
ter was telling as a witness. AS the
news came over the wire 1t was re-
peated to Mrs. Holman. The testimony
regarding the dinner at Martins Just
before the tragedy brought only the
response. Yes, yes; 1 know all about
that"
Then the story of Evelyn's confess
sion to Thaw in Paris came over the
wires. AS Mrs. Holman heard it she
became very nervous, and the reporter
who was talking to her was frequently
interrupted by exclamations of "This
Is terrible, horribleI" and finally Mrs.
Holman began to cry. When the re-
porter read from the confession: st sat
up and saw Mr.. White =" there
was shrek of anguish, and the tele-
phone receiver at the end fell clatter-
ing against the wall
A moment later a maid at the Hol-
man home called over the wire that
Mrs. Holman had tainted, and that they
did not desire to hear any further news.

"AIR LINE NEWS"
Tells All About Railroads and the Chicago
New York Electric Air Line

The "Air Line News is the official
publication of the Chicago-New York
Electric Air Line Railroad. So much
is to be told about the work actually
accomplished on the new railroad be-
tween Chicago and New York that the
next issue is to be increased to twice
the regular size. Keep posted on what
this wonderful railroad is doing-it
will surely interest you.
THE ENGINEERING MARVEL OF
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
The Chicago-New York Electric Air
Line Railroad is the engineering
marvel of the twentieth century. 1t
is regarded by engineers, electrical and
railroad men, as the most feasible and
practical connection between Chicago
and New York. 1t not only cuts down
the time between the two cities to
ten hours, but the fare as well. It's
operating expenses are less and It's
traffic possibilities are greater than any
other railroad between the two cities.
The Goshen, South Bend and Chicago
Railroad is now being constructed
through Indiana as the first section
of the Chicago-N New York Electric Air
Line Railroad. The first one hundred
miles will cost $7,700,000. This amount
has already been subscribed. This road
