ing a fortune of at least $3.50. 900 John
Mcmillan, aged So years, died todav in
hoveI in the outskirts of Chattanooga.
He had for years lived in apparent
poverty, being seen on the streets at
infrequent intervals. When away from
his shack he invariably carried a chip
basket which it has been learned since
his death contained cash and papers
worth over 500, ,000-s At one time he
owned a great deal OF real estate but
six years ago his son committed suicide
after which the man converted most of
his property into cash. So far as known
he left no will and his fortune will go
to his only daughter, Mrs. James Nc
Cluggage of Rose Hill, Kan. It is said
the old man and his daughter had been
estranged for many years.

Pupils Are Taught Many I'm.
necessary Branches.
FAIL IN THEIR EFFECT
Should Teach Girls How to
Make a Living.
Then Would Not Be So Many In
mates in Industrial School.

Mrs. Julia A. Perry, superintendent
or the Beloit Industrial school in the
paper which she read yesterday at the
nrst quarterly conference of the officers
OF the state charitable institutions.
criticised the present public school
methods by which pupils are taught a
lot OF unnecessary branches and are al
lowed to go out into the world without
learning any means for making a liv-
ing.
II the girls in the public schools and
high schools" said Mrs. Perry, were
taught some means of earning their
own living there would not be SUCH
danger Of social impurity''
Mrs. Perry thought that some of the
modern varieties of education should
De eliminated, and more practical sub
1ects substituted She commended the
tendency to incorporate manual train
Ing into the school curriculum.
Mrs. Perry emphasized the fact that
her work at Beloit among the wayward
girls placed in her charge is directed
especially to character building She
said that every girl had to be studied
as an individual, and her own peculiari-
ties understood She said that the OBJ
Ject of the school was to build I'D the
girls character so that after leaving
the school, the whole nature would re-
volt against returning to her former
ways of life.
She said that it was a mistake to
suppose that the inmates of the in
dustrial schools are billiards or are
lacking in brains. On the contrary she
contended that the reason many of the
boys and girls get into the Industrial
schools is that they are too active and
shrewd to be managed by the ordinary
means.
Mrs. Perry's address was listened to
by Governor Hoch, who commended 1t
and Mrs Perry's work highly to the
meeting when she had finished. A num-
Der of the leading club women of the
city attended the meeting.
The board of control rooms were

REFUSES TO AMEND ORDER
Justice Gould Will Not Change Rullne
aR to the Boycott.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. sJanuary To-
Justice Gould, OF the Supreme Court OF
the District OF Columbia. To-day over
ruled a. motion made by the American
Federation OF Labor to amend the
courts order In the case sof the Bucks
Stove and Range Company. OF st. Louis
In which the court recently temporarily
enjoined the federation from placing
the company on boycott and unfair
list In the federation's publications.
The case involves the right OF labor
organizations to boycott The motion
OF the Federation coRtended that the
order was erroneous because It was
made to ran until the final decree In
the case. instead OF until the further
order OF. the court: because It may be
construed to enJoin the defendants
from uniting to agree not to patronize
plaintiffs products. or construed to
prevent the defendants and cir asso-
ciates from saying to others that they
had united and combined not to patro-
nize such products. or construed to
snioin their announcing that they had
combined not to deal with others who
should, deal with the company. The
motion also. contended that the order
abridees freedom of speech OF all til e
DEFENDANTS. and freedom OF the press,
which is protected bv the first amend.
nlent to the Constitution OF the United
States. The court decided thatit would
not alter the order in any way.
