FLEET CAPTAIN UNDER
ARREST ON OWN SHIP.
Commander of Warship Charged with
Drunkenness at Reception Near
Gibraltar.

GIBRALTAR, Feb. 2.-The captain
of one of the battleships composing the
fleet under Rear Admiral Sperry is today
under arrest on board his own vessel and
will be tried by courtmartial on a charge
preferred by one of the rear admirals Of
the fleet that he was under the influence
of intoXicants at a reception given on
shore a few days ago. This captain was
relieved from duty by the rear admiral
Immediately after the reception and the
executive officer was placed in command.
Admiral Sperry, after considering the
report of the rear admiral, decided upon
a courtmartial and appointed the men,
bers. The head of the court is Rear
Admiral Seaton Schroeder and Mai.
Dion Williams of the marine corps, is
judge advocate.
The captain in question denies the
charge. His defense will be that he was
under a heavy strain during the last run
of his vessel on account OF rough wealth
er: that ON the day of the reception he
had been on the bridge since o'clock in
the morning; that he did not drink any
thing during the day, and partook spar
ingly of the wine served at the dinner
which preceded the reception. Fatigue
was responsible for his appearance.
This affair has been kept quiet, but
none the less it had created a painful
impression, as it is the first charge pre-
ferred against an officer of high rank
since the beginning of the cruise.
The name of the accused officer is Ed
ward +. Qualtrough, captain of the bat
tleship Georgia. The charges were pre-
ferred by Rear Admiral Wainwright
commander of the second division of the
battleship squadron. The Georgia is the
flagship of the second division of the
fleet

Etiquette for Nantucket Dancing Men.

Quite frequently young men who con-
slider themselves gentlemen do not con-
duct themselves as such in public places,
and especially in the dance hall, where
good breeding and the instincts of
true gentleman should be shown on every
hand. Boisterous and noisy conduct
does not belong in any respectable place

usually term as ''social dance" When

ares involved. that of John Alexander
Stirling against his wife, who was Clara
Elizabeth Taylor an American show girl
before her marriage, and that of Mrs.
Stirling against her husband.

occupied the witness box today and she
continued to deny the allegations made
by her husband and his lawyers. She
showed great distress, and on several oc-
casions she broke down as she unfold
ed the story of her married life. At one
stage of todays proceedings the objec-
tionable attitude of Douglas Stirling, her
husbands brother, SO irritated the wit
ness that she broke out into a heated
denunciation, and at the suggestion OF
the presiding judge, Douglas Stirling
left the room.
Calls Charges Lies.
Mrs. Stirling characterized as dread
full les all the allegations of miscon-
duct with Lord Northland, and she fatty
denied that she had promised to give
confession to an attorney for Mr. Stirl-
ing, who talked with her after her return
from America in August of last year.
There was nothing to confess she de-
clared, land the word confession never
was used"
Never Bought Revolver.
Continuing, the witness said that the
statement made by Mrs. Atherton last
week that she. Mrs. Stirring, had pur-
chased a revolver and declared she
would shoot Lord Northland unless he
married her was fabrication. She ad-
mitted having purchased pistol in Sep
TENDER last after she had left her hus-
band. and said she was so thoroughly
miserable that she had contemplated
taking her own life.

DR. RANDLE C. ROSENB ERGER.
DR.. Randle G. Rosenberger, the noted
bacteriologist of the Jefferson Medical
college and the Philadelphia General
hospital has discovered a means of find
ing the tuberculosis germ in the blood
of a human being, thing which long
baf11ed science. AS a result of this,
science is afforded it's first adequate
means of getting at consumption in its
initial stage, and either Graduating it or
modifying it's inroads. That the human
blood conveys the tuberculosis germ
from one organ of the body to another
has long been suspected, but it was new
er definitely proven until DIR. Rosen-
berger demonstrated it's entire truth, in
a series of Investigations into the blood
of three score of patients in the labora-
tory of the Philadelphia hospital, in
Thirty fourth street, below Spruce.

his work at home does become too
heavy, the taren. only has to notify
the superintendent, and it is remedied,
as can be testified by some of the gen
tlemen whose names appear to this ar
ticle.
S. That some parents demand that
their children be pushed" while 9TH
ers prefer that their children be placed
in grades where little mental effort is
required to do the work. This is true
to the extent that in some families
the mother will take one position and
the father the other, and vice versa,
and both demand that their wishes be
strictly adhered to by the teacher.
This very fact forces us to exercise
our best judgment in promoting pu-
pills, and to deal with individual cases
separately and entirely upon their
merits.
9. That owing to the varying STAN
dards of parents, any school would be
disrupted and disorganized by allow
ing them to decide what studies should
be taught, how they should be taught,
and what place they should occupy in
| the curriculum. We claim that the
course is made just as easy for the
pupil as it is possible to make it
without running an absolute farce.
10. That our course of study is ped
agogically sound, and the very fact
that student is overworked is ire
| f11+o hi nrfi h C
that he is beyond his capacity and
should pc transferred to a lower grade
which is always done, if the parent in
sists even though we believe his work
is not burdensome.
II. That if our business men could
classroom observing the regular
work of the teacher and pupils, the.
would be much more likely to becom
sympathetic supporters of the schoo
and cf the cause of public education
than if subjected to hours of academ
ic argument.
IL. That argument under 10 an
swers every legitimate objection tha
can be raised to the requirements @
any course of study. Otherwise tn
college would be condemned with in
punity because it requires of all stu
dents, both strong and weak, a certai
number Of hours.
i IL. That if there is a child in tn
Go1dsboro public schools who is over
worked, the parent has only to repol
the fact to the superintendent and
will be remedied Immediately.
Ia. That so long as children are il
competent witnesses, so long as it
a passion with some people to "shoe
> first and argue afterward," and S
long as teachers are terrene and sha1
human f-ailties, 5ust so long will thel
arise frequent misunderstanding b.
= tween school and parents.
Is. That all misunderstanding j

settled by the party who has grie7
1 ance, going in a spirit Of justice ar
!, with a fair unprejudiced mind to tt
]proper authority.
