PRACTICAL PRINCIPLES IN
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
Rev. r. c. Lauderburn of ST. Agnes
Church, New York, Speaks to Nor
witch Branch of Sunday School Union


witch Branch of Sunday School Union
Practical Principles in Sunday
School Work was the subject of an in
structive talk Wednesday evening in
the vestry OF Trinity Episcopal church
by Rev. F, c, Lauderburn of st. Ag
nes' church, New York, before a meet
ing Of the Norwich branch of the Sun
day school union of the diocese of
Connecticut. Rev. Nelson Poe Carey
president of the Norwich branch, pre-
sided and introduced the speaker as
one whose close study of modern Sun
Jay school methods qualified him to
speak with authority upon the sub
ject.
AS the first principle. Rev. Mr.. Lau-
derburn said that the Sunday school
must present to the child the whole
Of his religious inheritance It is i'm
portant to understand what the child
is, not an adult in miniature. not an
immature man, but complete child,
perfect in himself. We cannot ask
them to exhibit an adults religion, but
merely the highest ideal for them
selves, growing In depth and height as
the child life Is a constant develop
ment.
AS the second principle, we are to
consider how this can be done. It
must De through recognition or the
psychological periods in their lives,
adapting the coures of study to the
child's varying needs and capacities.
For the little ones there can be teach
ing by pictures, at another time their
natural hero worship is to be directed
Alright, at another seize their desire
for service.
The third principle is concerned with
the unity Of child life, and there is
the weakest point in our Sunday
school work. The child is a unit. but
are we presenting our religion to the
whole child, calling into activity every
one Of his latent faculties? We must
appeal through every avenue of ap-
preach. The Sunday school, in short,
should be a. religious manual training
school, teaching our children to be
working Christians, good church peo-
pie. They must know the formal side,
but they must practice it, and we must
teach them under the roof of the
church. Teach them the trade of be-
ing Christians. How thar uplifts our
Sunday school work.
After his talk, which was greatly
appreciated by those teachers present
a number Of points were discussed be-
tween the speaker and several who
asked him questions. President Carey
expressed appreciation of the valuable
talk before declaring the meeting ad-

KENTUCKlAN ACCUSED OF
MURDER GIVES EVIDENCE
Nephew of Chief Justice Takes Witt
ness Stand in His Own
Defense

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-Jo-
seph e. Gardiner, nephew of several
prominent Kentuckians, including
Chief Justice O'Rear of the appellate
court of that state, took the stand in
his own behalf today in the United
States circuit court, where he is on
trial for the murder of Joseph CORDOBA,
negro steerer of the whaler Bowhead,
on which Gardiner shipped last year.
His testimony followed the statement
of his case, made by Attorney Parker
S. Maddux, who said that CORDOBA had
picked up a clawhammer and was adj
vancing toward Gardiner when the lat
ter struck him on the head with a
piece of wood. MadduX said further
that CORDOBA had made immoral ad-
vances to the boy before the fight and
had threatened him with death if he
mentioned it,
q The prosecution rested its case in
chief, with the testimony of several
sailors of the Bowhead who saw the
blow struck, and that of a physician
as to the effect of fractures of the
skull.
The sailors repeated the stories of
the fight related yesterday, but were
not positive that CORDOBA was coiling
down a rope when he was struck.

DECLARE HOPKINS HAS NO
CHANCE TO BE SENATOR
Republican Caucus in Chicago Agrees
to Eliminate the Man Who
Caused Deadlock

CHICAGO, March 31.-The Tribune
today prints the following news arti'
Gle:
Albert j. Hopkins was practically
eliminated from the senatorial race
last night by a caucus of the big Re-
publican chiefs of the Cook county or
ganization, thoroughly secret, but more
important politically than any con-
ference of the powers which has been
held in Chicago for years.
Hopkins was abandoned as sena-
torial possibility, it is believed. as a
result of the conference. A new man,
one who has received no votes as yet
in the senatorial deadlock, was tenta-
lively considered for the toga, and all
but agreed upon.
That man is Roy o. West. 1t is not
believed the effort will be made to
elect West this week.
Represented in the secret conclave,
which broke up just before midnight,
were these Republican stars of the first
magnitude: Governor Deneen, Mayor
Busse, Roy o. West, Postmaster Camp
bell, Congressman Lorimer and John
f. Devine.
Governor Deneen slipped into Chi
cago just after dusk for the confer
ence. Congressman Lorimer had been
kept here upon orders from SPRING
field, and he hurried from the con-
ference to catch a midnight train for
the state capital to keep the deadlock
intact until the program to elect
West had been explained to the down
state members of the legislature.

SAYS HOUSEKEEPING ART
IS DEFUNCT IN AMERICA
President of chicago's Board of Edu-

Talent

CHICAGO, March 31.-President
Schneider of the board of education is
rapidly coming to the conclusion that
the art of housekeeping is dead in
America. The cause of his belief is
the difficulty he is experiencing in
filling the $4,000 position of supervisor
of domestic science recently created by
the board.
The trouble seems to lie in the fact
that the incumbent must teach both
cooking and sewing.
Il have been overrun," says Mr..
Schneider, with applications from
every part of the country. Here Is
one now, a telegram that 1 have just
opened, announcing that someone is
sending an application by mail from
Davenport, Iowa.
rs not that the limit? That is not
the worst, though. Last night they go:
me out of bed at IL 80 o'clock to sign
for a special delivery letter. 1t was an
application for the domestic science
position.
All that these women can see, ap-
parently, is the $4,000. We cannot find
anyone that has all the qualifications
we need. We have found some who
can cook, but they cannot teach sew
ing, and the sewing teachers cannot
supervise the cooking class.

SORROW PERvADES
CHINESE OPIUM DENS
SM0KE-DIMMED 'g0INTS" ARE
BEREFT OF DREAMS
San Francisco's Oriental Dives Sad
dened by Prohibition of Sleep Pro-
ducing Drue-Big Shipment
Stays "Famine"

SAN FRANCISCO, March 81
Gloom pervades the -dimmed
opium joints of the Chinese quarter
and the ever changing dreams of the
smokers are tinged with bitterness be-
cause of a ruling received by Collector
of the Port Stratton from Washington.
The government has set its face
against the indulgence in the delights
Of the dope pipe" and has prohibited
the importation of opium of anything
less than medicinal purity after
April 1.
That was bad enough, but the hus-
Ting importers rushed their orders to
the orient and nearly million dollars
worth of the drug was landed here a
few days ago and safely stored in the
customs house and bonded ware
houses in time, it was supposed, to
evade the new regulations.
Now the authorities at Washington
have instructed Collector Stratton not
to allow any opium to leave his pos
session on or after April /, and the
vast heap of canned dreams is doomed
to go unsmoked.
The government authorities further
declare that a careful reading of the
pure food and drug law which raises
the bars against poppy smoke makes
it possible for federal officials to seize
and confiscate any opium found any
place I'm the country after April ],
whether marked duty paid or not.
ia this ruling is enforced the opium
importers of San Francisco stand to
lose a large sum-. as within, the last
two days alone nearly 100000 worth
has been withdrawn from the customs
house on payment OF duty.
1t is estimated that opium valued
at between $1,000,000 and $1.500,000 is
now in and near this city. all of which
is open to seizure wherever found.

FUGITIVE ITALIAN SLAYER
ELUDES NORTHERN POSSE
Supposed Black Hand Member NAV
Have Committed Crimes
for Robbery

REDDING, Cal, March 31.-The
posse of officers under Sheriff Mont
gomery, which started out yesterday in
search of Philip Leo, who is suspected
of having killed Gregory MARITIME and
wounded A. Franco, probably fatally,
on the road between French Gulch. and
Tower house, has not found any trace
of the fugitive Italian.
All the mountain passes are well
guarded, and the officers declare that
Leo cannot escape. Franco has re-
gained consciousness but is not able
to speak. An operation on his skull will
be performed in an attempt to save his
life. 1t now is believed robbery was
the sole motive for the crime.
