The Naval Board now investigating
the death of Lieutenant James N.
Sutton, two years ago, has now seen
fit to exclude the public from the
hearing. In this case, the young ma

of his mother and sister to sift the
matter further at length resulted in
another investigation. From what
has been ascertained thus far, it ap-
pears that the lieutenant must have
shot himself in the back of the head,
with his left hand, while four or five
brother officers tried forcibly to dis
suade him from the act, so far as the
survivors can remember; though it
was several months ago, and such

Humor.

The temple of art devoted to that

suffocation as Messrs. Biff and Bang,
the refined sketch team and sidewalk
conversationalists stepped jauntily to
the footlights. In response to the deaf

bowed condescendingly as though it
hurt them.
Without further preliminary Mr.. Biff
hit his partner on the rear of his am
pie trousers with a stuffed club, re-
marking: ITS a wise man that knows
his own mind"
And Mr.. Bang, not to be outdone in
this little exchange of pleasantries,
promptly buried an ak in the skull of
Mr.. Biff, remarking the while: TITS

screamed with delight and voted Biff

TO SAVE THE BOYS
ROBERT RAlKES' IDEA IN START
ING SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Movement That Is Now Worldwide
Had Humble Beginning in an Eng
lish City One Hundred Years
Ago.

One Sunday morning, a hundred
years ago, a workingman, carefully
dressed in his best suit, came out of
his house on the main street of the old
English town of Gloucester and
strolled leisurely down the hill. The
New Inn was fronted then, as 1t is
to-day, by a square garden overhung
by the carved galleries of the tavern.
There was a mOSS-clad well in the
center. and about it were beds of
sweet-smelling pinks and columbines.
But the calm of that Sunday morn
ing was destroyed by crowd of street
boys who fought over the flower beds,
making the day hideous with their
noise and coarse talk
The printer-for printing was his
work on weekdays-stopped in the
midst of the crowd and looked steadily
at the boys. Presently he said to him
self: "At this rate those boys will
soon go utterly to the bad. That must
not be. There are good possibilities
in them. Here. boys" he called aloud.
come with me,"
He led them. yelling and pushing,
down the street into his own quiet
house, planning as he went how to
keep them there.
'T am going" he said presently, "to
start school for you. Now and here.
1t shall be a free school; l will be the
teacher"
The boys received the news with
shouts. They were too ragged and
grimy to go to church on Sundays.
No other decent place was open to
them.
The next Sunday his house was
crowded with the same class of chill
dren.
The idea of a free school on Sunday
appealed to every Christian as a most
hopeful plan for the rescue of children
from wickedness. 1t spread through
the town, through the shire, through
England. 1t was adopted in France
and Germany; it made its way to Aus
tralia and to the United States. Now,
in every country in the world and in
every sect there are these schools, in
which, every Sunday morning, the
Bible story is told, without money and
without price
In the staid old city of Gloucester
they still show you the New Inn and
the garden where the boys played,
and the old brown house with its
peaked roof in which Robert Raikes,
that long-ago morning, taught the first
