COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 1J.-Col.
Webb c. Hayes has presented to the Ohio
Historical Society, to be kept forever in
its care, Spiegel Grove, the home Of the
late President Hayes for many years. at
Fremont. Ohio. The society has accepted
the trust. The tract includes the old
Hayes residence and is triangular
densely covered with great trees-once a
part Of the original forest.
Col. Hayes and the other children OF
the President have signified their inten-
tion of removing the bodies of President
Rutherford b. Hayes and Lucy Webb
Hayes from their present resting place in
OakwOod cemetery, Fremont to a high
knoll on the tract conveyed to the society.
and also the somewhat pretentious Hayes
that surmOunts their graves.
so that their permanent resting places
will be forever in the care of the society,
which, having considerable revenue from
the state. is prepared to assume the
trust.
spiegel Grove does not depend wholly
upon the fact that it was once the home
of a President for It's historical value,
however. It's claim to historical interest
runs back to the latter part OF the six
teenth century. when 1t was widely known
as a neutral village Of the Erie Indians

country 1t was a city Of refuge and con-

The saints of Caesars household. the

yesterday afternoon by the pastor. Rev.
DR.. Charles Wood. The text on which
DR.. Wood preached was "lAll the saints
salute you, chiefly they that are of
Caesars household" Philippians. iv:9
These saints of Caesars household"
said DR.. Wood, still salute the Christian
world. and by their salutation they show
ed many OF us that we are often cravens.
when they, In surroundings far less fav
orable, were heroes. We are skeptical.
self-indulgent, avaricious and stolid. be-

But the saints Of Caesars household az
they salute US seem to cry In our ears.

sinuating and alluring your world is ours

the Atlantic states, which was somewhat
disappointing. but not nearly as much SO
as the failure Of our schools and colleges
to apply for the German teachers. This
arises | am inclined to think, from a
misconception of the plan Many Ameri-
can schools have found unsatisfactory re-
suits from the employment of foreign
teachers of Languages. and do not apple
ciate the fact that this plan Is entirely
different from the employment of Ordi-
nary teachers of elementary German. No
can deny that the teaching of Ger
man and French in many of our colleges
and high schools is today Of the most
lifeless and superficial sort. This eX
change does not furnish the American col
lege or academy teacher to take the
place Of Il routine teacher of German,
but it does furnish the opportunity TO
freshen and viVify the whole system OF
teaching modern languages. And, what
is equally important, 1t gives the great
advantage of a comparison of methods
Of teaching with those of the best Prus-
sian gymnasia, where today are doubt
less to be found the best teaching of any
schools in the world l hope that the
realization of this opportunity. which, in
my judgment. means even more for the
American school than for the Ameri-
can teacher. will bring this spring
larger number of offers from Ameri-
carr preparatory schools and colleges TO
utilize the services of Prussian teachers"

TO PUSH BREAD Law CAST
COMMISSIONERS DESIRE TEST
TO BE DECIDED.
After Court Of Appeals Renders
Opinion They Will Consider Mat
ter Of q New Law.

Although the District Commissioners
decided this morning to prosecute the
appeal in the Court of Appeals in the
bread law case, it was further agreed
that the substitution of new bread law
to take the place of the old enactment
of 1858 should be considered They will
await the decision of the case in the
Court OF Appeals before framing a bill
for a new law.
The Commissioners considered the mat
ter in board session this morning. Com
missioner Mcfarland presented the reso-
lutiOns of the Chamber of Commerce ask
ing the Commissioners to abandon the
appeal and make no further prosecutions
under the law. and suggesting that a new
bread law be enacted when the Commits
sioners deemed 1t necessary. He also
stated the oral arguments presented by
the committee of the Chamber of Com
merce in its conference with him.
The Commissioners also heard state
ments from the sealer of weights and
measures, w. c. Haskell. and the cor
poration counsel, E. II. Thomas, both of
whom advised the prosecution Of the ap-
peal They stated to the Commissioners
that the case was test case brought by
agreement. under a letter of Sept TENDER
l, 1903, from A. H. Bell, counsel for the
bakers, requesting that such a case he
made to test the validity of the law and
that they believed that test should be
carried to a conclusion in the Court of
Appeals, and that after the court gave
its opinion the Commissioners would have
the advantage of its suggestions in franz
ing a new law.
The Commissioners. after discussing the
matter. agreed, first, that they could
not abandon the appeal of the test case
brought at the request of the bakers and
SO put themselves in the position Of re-
fusing to execute the only law now on
the statute books; second. that when they
obtained the judgment Of the Court of
Appeals they would know better how to
frame a bill to be presented to Congress
proposing a new law.
They agreed that 1t was desirable to
consider the substitution of a modern
act of Congress for the old law Of 1883.
They agreed that in principle a new law
ought to furnish the buyer with the
knowledge of exactly what he was buying,
the details to be worked out later.
