school system of New York is among
the best in the United States, and
since 1t is well known fact that the
board of education passes upon an

Ex-confederate Soldier Who Taught

Negro School at Baltimore.
In the death Of William R. Ryan,
which occurred recently at Baltimore.
young Afro-Americans whose privilege
1t was to sit under his instruction
while he was the principal of the Col
ored Polytechnic school in that city
have lost sincere and devoted friend.
Although Mr.. Ryan was an ex-Confed-
crate soldier, he had the best interest
OF the colored youth at heart and did
yeoman service as an educator among
them from 1892 to 1900, when the
school board changed the Polytechnic
into what is now the Baltimore High
and Training School For Afro-Ameri-
cans, with an Afro american principal
and faculty.
Mr.. Ryan, who was an expert ma
chinist and a practical craftsman, took
delight in teaching the class in free
hand, mechanical and architectural
drawing. At commencement times
there was no prouder man in Balti-
more than he, for he believed his boys
to be the equals Of any boys at any
similar school for white or colored.
Principal Ryan may have lacked the
graces which obtain in the most fash
ionable society, but all who came in
contact with him were charmed by his
sincerity, devotion to his work, and if
his influence could have made one Of
his graduates president of the United
States he would have used 1t to that
end. He was known by all the leading
colored men Of Baltimore, many Of
whom said Of him that, although
Democrat and an ex-Confederate sol
dier, he had laid down all his preju-
dices at Appomattox and regarded
men not by the color of their skin, but
upon their merit and ability as men.

The fifth annual entertainment and
reception of the Alpha Physical club,
which occurred at Palm Garden, New
York, recently. was one of the most
enjoyable events in the social circle Of

somebody asked Coquelin. He took a
sheet of paper and wrote down the
names of fifty-three plays of his reper'

"You are boasting surely mon

"You have every one OF these plays
IN your library" said Coquelin quiet
" "Get them all out and put them
on the table" The Viscomte did So
"Now," said Coquelin, "let anybody se-

At haphazard and give 1t to me-"
They tried him with sixteen plays
out of the fifty-three and he never
missed a single cue or made one mis-
take.

70 naturalists, for In spite of investi.

whether the bite of a gila monster Is

instances come under my observation
where men have been bitten by gila

few minutes after the guinea pig had
been bitten. The natives OF the
Southwest, particularly the Indians of

bite Of gila is fatal to a human b. p
Ing and the lizard Is held in much awe

ut Is likely, however, that this fear
is occasioned largely by the repulsive

one-fifth Of the total length of the
