UNEARTHED A LOTTERY.
Postoffice officials Believe They Have
Made a Great Find.

New York. June An the arrest
Of two men here last night, the post
office department believes that it has
captured the headquarters of the
Mexican national lottery and will be
able to effectuaHy stop an illegal
business which has collected many
thousands of dollars every month
from various sections of the west.
When Chas. o. Backus was arrested
in his apartments, the officers found
many large packages of lottery tick
cts, fully addressed and stamped.
ready to be mailed.
One of these packages was ad-
dressed to Joseph Sanger of 1852
Hickory street, st. Louis, and another
to John Smith, 1919 Rutger street,
st. Louis. From the address, on the
packages, the postoffice department
inspectors said they obtained the
names of many of the representatives
throughout the country of the lottery.
Chief Postoffice Inspector Mayer
said last night that the profits of the
business had been enormous and that
in his several months of investigation
he had not been able to find any
evidence that an actual drawing of
numbers had ever taken place. The
postoffice inspectors in Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago st.
Louis, Kansas City, Denver and San
Francisco have been notified of the
developments here and are expected
to take action. laa--F@sz tssi.---

COME DOWN TO EARTH.
Says Chicago Professor in Suggest
Ing Sunday School Reforms.

Chicago, June Aggregation in
Sunday schools, with girls taught by
women and boys by men, was advo-
Gated by Prof. Allan Hoben of the
University of Chicago before a meet
ing of the Chicago Baptist association.
The influence of the teachers per-
sonality is greater than any other the
child in the Sunday school is brought
into contact with" said Prof. Hoben.
With many children it is the only
influence. 1t is safe to say that nine
tenths of the Sunday school impress
sions are those of the teacher.
Have men teach the boys and have
the finest women instruct the girls.
Those of the same sex understand
each other best. I believe that the
idea of having women teach boys
makes the male pupils effeminate.
I'VE must come down to earth in
our Sunday school work to bridge the
gap that exists between the church
lessons and the interest of the stu
dents. Bring the Bible down to date.
Travel the macadamized roads of
Chicago instead of the streets of an
oient Jerusalem.
I'VE don't have TO worry much
about the Bible. That great books
moral and spiritual value will be per-
petuated among those old enough to
appreciate its worth. Besides, every
one is his own editor of the Bible and,
after all, one holds an opinion in spite
of the efforts of school teachers to
have their Interpretation believed"

HE WANTS A CHANGE.
President of Chicago School Board
Objects to Word commencement

Chicago. June 4.-The word com
mencement" as used at graduating ex-
ercises and defined by Webster is alb
solutely wrong and may be omitted
from the program this June, accord
ing to President Schneider of the
school board.
Il never could understand he said
why commencement was the word
used. It means a beginning, as ! I'M
derstand it, and the graduation of a
pupil is the finish of his high school
work. The matter will be brought
before the board.
The definition given in Webster's
dictionary is 1.-The day when degrees
are conferred by colleges and uni
versities upon students or Others"

CRITICISED FRATS.
Responsible for Poor Scholarship, Says
Professor Reed.

Chicago. June 4.-Members of col
1ege fraternities were criticised in a
lecture delivered in the Belden Avenue
Baptist church by Prof. John Q. Reed,
dean of the University of Michigan.
Professor Reed said he believed fra
ternities were responsible for most or
the poor scholarship and dissipation
among college students. He said that
every student at Ann Arbor who had
to be carried home in a cab at night
or who became involved in any I'M
pleasant incident proved to be a mem
Der of some fraternity.
"The men who hang around street
corners and insult women in college
towns are invariably fraternity MEM
bers," he said.
He added that the members learned
bad habits and a defiance of law that
affected all their college life and that
almost all of the students conditioned
at college were fraternity men, while
the nonfraternity men stood high in
their classes.
Despite the evil he saw in fraterni-
ties the professor did not advocate
their adjustment. He said they might
be made the means of great good, but
that this could come only under some
means of college control.
