Y. N. G. A. CLASSES
BEGIN ON MONDAY

The evening school for men and boys
who cannot attend the day schools at
the Young Mems Christian association
will open next Monday with what prom
ises to be large enrolment and one Of
the best corps of teachers that could
possibly be obtained.
Entries are being made rapidly and the
association still has facilities to care for
more. Pupils should enter this week if
possible.
The association has issued little folder
which tells the whole tale. There are
courses in elementary and advanced arth-
metic, graded English, applied mechanics,
mechanical drawing and architectural
drawing. There is special boys class
which fits him for practical application
of the elements of arithmetic, a working
knowledge of English grammer and COM
position, and the ability to spell with
reasonable accuracy. The courses are
cheap, and the instructors are all special
lists in their lines holding responsible po-
5itions in the district
The head offices of the association have
given out the following authoritative bit
of statistics, which will be of interest:
Educated labor as a rule is paid from
81 to So and up per day, and more than
uneducated labor. Even boys and men
who have well mastered the three RS
receive in the industries at least 81 per
day more than those who have not. This
latter increase amounts to $3.50 per year.
1t has been shown that the interest on
the amount invested to gain working
knowledge of the three r S plus what the
boy might have earned is not more than
$50 per year. His increased income is $3.50
or 500 per cent annual profit. Make any

that they will not only comfortably heat
the building, but will quickly dry the
damp clothes that the workmen hang up
in their lockers when they come out of
the mines. A man will be left in charge
to see that the men do not get their indi-
vidual lockers confused with some one
else's, as well as to see that first-class
service is rendered.
The employees are looking forwasd to
the completion of this great convenience
with much anticipation, when they will
be able to get hot and cold baths any
time during the day or night that they
might want them.

The scenes of kidnapped in New York"
which Barney Gilmore presents at the

Madison Square park giving view of the

Encouragement you wish, you cannot re-
duce the dividend SO that 1t will not still
be the largest dividend known in legiti-
mate business. In the average large city,
if you make three classes of the males,
putting life in the first class, those who
have had a grammar schooling in the
third, we shall find some interesting COM
PARSONS. Investigation proves that the
net income to the public per capita in
taxes, etc, above the cost in pauperism,
benevolence, crime and so on from the
first class, is only one-third as much as
in the second class, or one-ninth as much
as IN the third class.
1.-THE total cost of crime in the United
States for last year was S1,176 100000 The
cost of all constructive and healing agen-
cies, including all educational privileges,
spiritual church, ecclesiastical, humans
tartan and physical work, was only $780,
100000, or one-half as much. Horace Mann
said that schools were the complement of
the Jail and prisons, the moro we had
of one the less we had of the other. This
is especially true of the greater value of
those educational features which, under
Christian auspices, build the best there
is in characters, as well as at the same
time fitting for life's daily duties. Such
is the educational work of the associa-
ton.
1--WE are told that the results of obser-
walton on the part of many, as well as OF
investigators, reveal the fact that COM
mon drunllards, among common paupers,
and the common criminals from the thrift
less and worthless classes, not per cent
have had a complete grammar school
training.

He was sensible that he had played the part of--well. a cad, and he was receiving the punishment he richly deserved; he had certainly been piqued by the girls reluctance to seize the brilliant position offered to her. not merely as the wife of him, Paul de Sarazin. but, an alliance with one of the first houses in Spain. Then there was Mrs. Tudor's illness which was unfortunate for many reasons Next came Dolores, with her witch cries. her magnetic personality, and her overbearing determination to bend every one to her will. 1t was her will, that they should motor. drive. and dance together; and he was far too well amused to combat it. or offer her any resistance.

CHAPTER xxxVIL. The Great LOaR.

The morning after the ball, Paul de Sarazin, who had slept till midday, awoke-not with the traditional head ache. but a sense of oppression, and a curious ache in his mind. What had happened? He stretched himself la zily and summoned memory. When memory returned, bringing with her her cousin disquietude. he recalled the last evening-his wild abandonment to the pleasures of the women, the mu- sic. the waltzing, the spell of Dolores ; he remembered the wistful, furtive glances of the grey-garbed Puritan and the strangely white face which she had worn at supper. Oh. yes. un- doubtedly he had neglected Hester, but he had been swept from her side by his uncomfortable rage for dancing 1t was a passion. a national weakness, and nothing else! The perfect floor, the perfect partner-with her sympa- thetic Spanish blOod--had borne him along on a current of mad delirium. Ee had had his play. and now he must pay like a gentleman. He would go down to the Bellevue immediately after dejeuner, offer the ladies a motor ride, and make Hester the amende honorable. As for her cold. delicate reserve, he would soon transform and change 1t!
 When he entered the courtyard of the Bellevue. the notable Marquis de Sar- azin was eagerly accosted and way laid by numerous acquaintances-all brimming over with the ball. the cos tunes the piquant little anecdotes and scathing sketches incidental to such an occasion. At last he arrived in the hall of the hotel. and delivered his card to the heaVy-brOWed concierge, a man who spoke six languages.

FORMER PREACHER LOCKED UP
 IN CITY PRISON FOR ASSAULT

While was alsleep Sunday after noon, he sneaked into the room and struck me on the temple with metal knuckles, laying my head open and covering me with blood" is the story Powell Surles, millwright, residing at boarding house 311 Dexter Avenue tells in speaking of an a1tercation he had with J. A. Brash, book agent.
 Surles says one Of the boarders came to him a few days ago and requested the loan of some money, but not hay. ing It, he requested 1t of Brash, prom ising to make 1t good if the borrower did not pay. He says Brssh offered to lend the money, but later requested it from him before Surles was ready to make good. Surles said he told Brash that he would give 1t back as soon as he could, and states that Brash seemed satisfied. Later In the day, Surles states, he was awakened by Brash. who had hold Of his arm, and 8 moment later was struck with the knucks and suffered a severe cut on the side of his head. That ne got up, armed him, later sending for tho po- lice, and having him arrested on charge of assault with weapon.
 Brash, when seen In the city bar racks did not want to talk, saying he preferred the matter being tried in police court first. Ee says he was formerly minister, but through force of circumstances gave that up and started teaching. making his living in this way for several years until the recent financial panic forced him to seek other methods of making 4 living. He was then offered a good position travelling for a large publishing house, and he took it.
 Hs~ says that Surles borrowed the money from him personally and diI not mention the subject to him again until. needing it. he was at last forced to ask for it, only to be put off. Sun day, he says, Surles promised to pay him, and when he went to him for the money, Surles got angry and called him a liar. and, because of this. he struck Surles over the head with a light silk parasol. the handle of which cut Surles's head.
 Brash Is an educated fnAr. with good appearance. a Mason, and talks in a manner that strongly speaks fer the truth of his story. The case will be tried in police court this evening.
