Andrew S. Draper. commissioner Of
education for the state OF New York,
spoke upon 1.-THE Adaptation Of the
Public Schools to Industrial Ends.
In his opinion the reason that only
one-third Of the school children OF the
country finish the grades is because
the schools do not give them enough
industrial training. He proposed, In
order to restore the equilibrium be.
tween industrials and intellectuals
which is being lost by the present sys-
tem"to reduce the compulsory attend.
ance to seven years In cities and
towns, and to take definite measures
for far more complete and far more
regular attendance; to simplify the
courses 10 the elementary schools, by
ceasiDg so much dress parade and ex.
Fermentation and by eliminating
much matter that gives mere informa-
tion at the cost Of. power, and to give
them more efficient and Industrial

handwork, such as paper cutting and |
folding, moldiDg 10 sand and clay,
plain knife and needle. work, ana the |
like, which can be done at the regular
school rooms from the very beginning
Of primary grades. At the end of the |
present sixth grade, 1t Ia proposed to
have the system begis to separate
into three very distinct branches. |

would be somewhat relieved on &C.

The third noted speaker was Booker
washington, who showed how his
race is increasing In the south and
how as yet 1t has been scarcely touched
by education. He said In part
"The negro race In America now

Within few years the race will have
increased to l5,OOO,OOO. They are 20.

A MANIA FOR BRASS
ARTHUR DENTON WILL SERVE TEN MONTHS.
Member of Respectable Mobile Family Develops Peculiar Propensity For Fittings of Scales of
 Bay Shore Road

Mobile. July 2s.--(special. l--Three sentences of four months each were nleted out to Arthur Denton, a young white man. and son of highly respec- table Mobile family. in the Inferior Criminal Court this morning by Judge Jules Afford.
 Denton. according to evidence, had developed propensity for stealing and operated on a line peculiarly his own. He selected the Mobile and Bay Shore Railroad as his victim, and traveIed from station to station strip ping of the brass work from the scales there
 Last week he visited Mertz and Far nell stations and put the scales there out of business by ripping of the brass beams This work put the depu- ty sheriffs on his track, among them being Deputy Charlie Cherry who suc- ceeded in tracing him to the yards at Whistler, where on Saturday evening he was caught In the act of stripping the scales, and also taking brass fit- tings from the engines.
 As a consequence of his work the Mobile and Bay Shore Is crippled to some extent for the want of scales. The stolen beams were 5rcken up and therefore time must. elapse until new ones are secured from the factory.

SCRAP IS ALL OVER
PEACE REIGNs IN HONDURAS SAYS
 CONSUL.
Fletes Declares That Tnsurrection In His Country Is At End and There VIII Be No War With
 NfcmFaMum.

Mobile. July Especial. .)--Aecord- inging to advices received here from Spanish Honduras by Hon. Ernesto F1etes, consul from that country to this port. there Is now no instruction in his country nor Is there any like lihood of there being any war between Honduras and Nicaragua.
 Mir. Fietes declares that all the talk about war between the two countries Is a conjecture of some one's brain and that it has no reality in fact. Speaking of the matter this afternoon he exhibited despatch from the Min ister of the Interior of Honduras, Mr. E C. Fiallo, which was dated July IA. He explained that this dispatch had come via Porto certez and from thence by steamship to this port. hence its statement that there was a revolution in Gracias and Choluteca. which towns were occupied by the insurgents.
 The development however, the des- patch says, was not popular one and found little support with the people of the town who were for peace and wished to aid the government to this end. The dispatch further said that the town of Gracias had been retaken the day before and that the government troops fin strong numbers were march ing on Choluteca, which they expected to take the next day.
 Since the receipt of this dispatch Con- sul Fietes said he had received ad- vices that had assured him that the insurrection had been brief and that 1t had been thoroughly stamped out. As to the likelihood of war between his country and Nicaragua he said this was impossible at this time, that the nations were upon the most friendly terms, and that both governments were striving to preserve peace in that part of the globe. He deploreds he said, the printing of so many dis patches, he said which he knew to be false and which only served to injure his country. s1
