THE STATE PRESS.

New Orleans Picayune: There seems to
be persistent effort by Northern authors
or compilers of school books to instil into
the children of the South, as we'll as of the
North, the notion that the war for Southern
independence was wicked affair, and that
the Southern people generally need to be
reformed and brought into the fold of
Northern political righteousness. If we do
not guard our children against such insid-
ious SANDERS, future generations in the
South may regard their fathers as traitors
and criminals.
Concordia Sentinel: From gentleman
who recently visited Franklin Parish, we
learn that the people there are rapidly
adapting themselves to conditions brought
about by the advent of the boil weevil. 1t
will be but short time before they raise
and manufacture most everything they
need for home consumption. With but a
small acreage planted in cotton, they are
raising enough produce, hogs and cattle
to make them independent. A grist mill
was recently installed at Winnsboro, to
grind meal and feedstuffs, and much hay
is being cut and baled. A company has
also been organized to put up canning
factory, and an increased acreage in sugar
cane has been planted. Our informant
says the people of Franklin are becoming
contented and are now convinced they can
do as we'll there as elsewhere, if not little
better.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE
INSPECTS THEATRES.
Members Satisfied with Condi-
ton of Buildings.

The committee on construction and
alteration of the Common Council today
paid a visit to every theatre in the city.
A thorough inspection of every building
had been ordered and the of
the various playhouses escorted the all
dermen from gallery to cellar. At no
theatre was it necessary TO direct any
extensive changes, but in several in
stances the aldermen insisted that the
managers should abide by several of
the rules and regulations of the build
ing ordinances.
AT the Bijou Dream the stage hands
gave a demonstration with the fire APP
paratus. IL was found to DE in perfect
working order, but Captain C. Albert
Gasser ordered that the hose be kept
away from the steam pipes, as the
heat would soon cause it to rot. AT
the suggestion of Alderman Day il
was decided to notify the fire commits
sioners that 1t would be a wise plan
20 have every theatre test the hose at
least once a month.
The committee expressed satisfaction
with the fire escapes at all the theatres.
Tomorrow the members will visit the
moving picture show houses. Those in
the party were President Pennington
and Aldermen Day, Seeker. ~Ingraham,

"BRING OUT WHAT IS in
CHILD" ADVISES LECTURER

Bring out what is in the child and
don't attempt to put so much in; waken
the ~slumbering prince or princess in the
body OF the child was what the Rev.
Adolph Roeder urged at the morning
ence composed of members of the Con-
temporary Club in the parlors of the
South Park Presbyterian Church today.
"Froebel's idea was to bring out the
individuality of each child n not to
mould all after n pattern" he added.
1.-The kindergarten" continued Mr..
Roeder. was the outgrowth of ideas
and ideals described In an early Ger
man novel written by a The
story of a child who was reared in a
cave with an angel for a teacher and
no knowledge was forced upon him. If
he asked q question it was answered,
whether his understanding of it was
apparent or not and his relation to the
objects Of his inquiry vas explained to
him. And that Is the work of the kim
dergarten today"
Mr.. Roeder declared that there is a
vast work for the women of the city to
do in looking after the curriculum of
tho schools, that the gap between the
kindergarten and the university was
tremendous and that they might better
turn their attention to these things than
the many matters of minor importance.
This was the second lecture in a Sc
ries of five that Mr.. Roeder win deliver;
the subject of the next lecture will be
1.-THE City as a Factor in Social Life"
and will be delivered January 4 in the
same church.

FREDERICK Won BERMUTH
ASKS CHILDREN'S CUSTODY.
Hearing of New Evidence POST
pOned Till Next Week.

Application was made today before
Vice-Chancellor Howell by Messrs.
Sommer, Colby and Whiting, on behalf
of Frederick A. Won. Berlnuth, the
wealthy New York robe manufacturer,
for the custody Of his two children,
Fritz and Emil, who are now held by
the mother, Mrs. Pauline Schultz Won
Bermuth.. daughter Of the late mineral
water man.
Notwithstanding the fact that more
than a score of witnesses, among them
many handsomely gowned women,
were present to testify, Mr.. Van Blair
CON-, of Raymond. Mountain & Van
Blarcom, ounse for the wife, asked
the court for an adjournment because
of the absence of a material witness
whose testimony was needed. The mo-
ton was vigorously opposed by Mr..
Sommer, who said the father wished to
have the children before the Christmas
holidays.
The vice-chancellor then asked II it
was the intention of counsel to rely up
on evidence already in one previous mo-
tions. or to introduce new evidence, and
when assured that the latter was the
case, he said he would have no time to
hear it, and set December II for the
hearing.

GIRL APPEARS AS HER OWN
LAWYER IN TRENTON COURT.
Especial to the Newark STAR

TRENTON, Dec. 7.-Rena /. Halsey,
of Brooklyn, PLEADED her<own Ease in
the Court of .Chancery today. although
she is not a lawyer, and handled the
suit In such a manner as to win favor
able comment from the court and from
her former counsel. whom she was OPP
posing. She appeared before Vice.
Chancellor Walker to fight the appli-
cation of Lawyer William r. Wilson,
of Elizabeth, for an additional counsel
fee Of 1891 for stenographer's notes.
The case involves the ~probating OF
the will of Henrietta H.. Halsey, of
Elizabeth, mother of the defendant.
The Will left a large amount of prop
erty to the daughter, and was probated
over the caveat of Louis H. Halsey, a
son. The prerogative court sustained
the will upon appeal from the Union
County Orphans Court. Counsellor
Wilson applied for an additional fee,
and Miss Halseys who is pretty and
vivacious, appeared in her own behalf
to oppose the demand. She pleaded her
ease SO well that the court asked il
she was a lawyer. She replied thai she
was not, but. had learned some law. in
this case.
Her former counsel also paid her the
compliment that she had lone better
than h three lawyers she had former
ly retained. Vice-Chancellor Walker
took the matter under advisement and
will decide the question later.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. I.-Oficial conhrma-
ton OF damage to the Argentine wheat
crop by frost created considerable
bullish sentiment in the Wheat market
here during early trading today. The
volume of trading. however. was rather
small. An advance of 2ss to "a In the
price of wheat at Buenos Ayres, which
further emphasized the frost scare
here. was a prominent factor at the
start. Prices at the start were Il lower
TO Il higher, with May at 107A as TO
1071a. On buying by leading bulls the
price advanced to 107A@B.
A heavy snowfall over the greater
portion Of the DIR belt. which will
necessitate increased feeding of grain
to live stock. had a strengthening effect
on the corn market. Local receipts were
smaller than the estimated amount.
and this also prompted some buying.
At the opening prices were unchanged
to B@h higher. May being 61H to 615s.
Later the price sold up to SIS.
Trading in oats was active, and the
market was firm IN the early session.
Shorts and commercial houses led in
the buying. The brisk demand for the
cash grain was an important factor.
Opening quotations were unchanged 10
h@A higher. with May at 42E to 1910
40. Later May advanced to 439h.
Provisions were rather weak at the
start, WIN to general selling. but be-
came steadier early in the day because
of support by packers. Prices at the
opening were unchanged to 10 cents
lower.
