MOTHER DIES SUDDENLY
 AS SON IS GRADUATING

New Haven, June 23.-Graduation day was the saddest of all the college days of John Nicholas Eckle, a mem Der of the Shelf TO class for Tues day night at 11:45 o'clock his mother Mrs. George M. Eckle, of 589 Third avenue, West Haven, died suddenly of heart failure.
 For many years Mrs. Eckle, an in- valid. has watched the progress of her children in the schools, and since her son Carl was graduated from Shelf four years ago, her whole heart has been set upon seeing John Eckle graduated from college and ready to begin his life work as a civil engineer.

THE BARGAIN CHASE.
American Women and the Shopping
 Game Mania,

Game Mania.
 More money is wasted every year by women buying needless things under the excitement of the bargain hunt than is spent in all the gambling houses and race tracks put together, says Mary Heaton Worse in Success Magazine. When you say that have no statistics to prove this I answer that I have common sense and have spent much time in city shops. I know, too, what l am capable of, and I am but half hearted hunter. I know what my friends do. 1t isn't for nothing that have seen earnest young students of economies succumb to this hunting instinct and fare forth to buy ninety-eight cent undergarments,
 It Is not only in the stores frequent ed by poor or uneducated women that have seen the more brutal instincts of the human race come to the sur- face. I have seen a charming looking snatch a dress length of gray voiIs from the hands of another elderly vo- man, and the reason I happened to see these sights was because myself was at the sale looking at garments didn't want and didn't need and buying them
 The bargain chase, the shopping game passion or sport, life work or recreation-for it may be any one of these, according to the temperamens of the woman-has American women well in it's grip. Hardly one of us es- capes some one of the psychological deviations from the normal which have mentioned.

WOMEN TO THE RESCUE OF
 SALEMS ACCIDENTAL MAYOR
 WHO IS ALMOST PENNILESS.
(Special from United Press.)


 Salem, June 23-Victorious after a long and hard fought libel suit. Mayor Arthur Howerd of this city. who ad- mits he is almost penniless, today had further triumph when 800 women, who subscribed dollar each to a bail bond in his recent suit, refused to take their money back and insisted on it's being retained in purchase of stock in a little newspaper run by the Mayor. Howard. who has acquired fame in New England as a political accident, has travelled a rocky road since being elected Mayor here. He has been con- sistently and bitterly opposed by the politicians of the town and has only won out by the aid of the women of the city. who have always been his eager partisans. Howard is a candi- date for the Congressional seat of Au- gustus P. Gardner. son-in-law of Sen ator Lodge, and the Mayors friends today are predicting an easy victory for their picturesque leader.

THE MOHTEHEGRin.

 Vendetta.

He Is Hospitable, but Dearly Loves ths-
 Vendetta.
 To listen to a Bulgar singing fs to make ones flesh creep or want to weep. The centuries of cruel oppres- sion are only too manifest in Bulgarian music and words, but a Montenegrfn grows restless over bis songs and curses the powers that forbid him to emulate his forefathers' deeds en masse across the frontier. He does so whenever he can, but only in tTos and threes.
 When the Montenegrin goes rafdiDg across the border 1t is really more sporting affair than the well equipped and organized outings of the HuIgar "Comitatchis." With him it is usually a private act of revenge or vendetta to which he invites one or two friends. Then they steal across the border at night, find their man, do their best to Kill him and then make tracks home ward with the whole district at their heels. Perhaps the method of. killing is not up to the standard of western sport. for they shoot their victim "sit~ ting," so to speak, and do not give him a chance, but as it is the recognized system on both sides little can be said
 This custom makes men very wary, and the stranger can appreciate the reason when he sees a plowman, for instance, attending to his duties with a rife slung over his back. But in spite of this they are the essence of honor and hospitality. As their guest, no one can come to any harm, and they will do all In their power to make his stay among them pleasant and safe.-Wide World Magazine.

St. Petersburg, June 23-Dispatches telling of the prevalence of Asiatic cholera in Rostov and other cities of southern Russia. have disclosed the fact to the public that the authorities fear the dread disease is again gaining ground here.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.
PennsyIvania EducationnIist Thinks
They Should BE Abolished.

Pennsylvania EducatiOnaIist Think,
They Should BE Abolished.
Public school students have a cham
pion in the person of DR.. Nathan G..
Schaeffer, superintendent of public in.
struction in Pennsylvania, in their an.
tipathy to examinations. DR.. Schaefer
has gone so far as to say that he hoped
he would see the day when examina.
lions would be abolished. "They are"
he said, like drugs, since they have
a primary as well as secondary effect
In that they depression IL kept
up"
DIR. Schaeffer Is himself a keen stu.
dent and observer. He has p~rofted
by his years of experience since his
connection with the public schools of
the state and he knows whereof he
speaks, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
But his opinion in this respect is not
the result Of deductions on the part
Of one man alone. There are many
others who think with him, some of
whom have so expressed themselves
and others who. while convinced
themselves, are too timid to take a de-
cided stand in the matter.
There Is little doubt that the exam
ination is In many respects a barbar.
Gus institution. Education is, in the
last analysis, only a mean to an end,
a process Of gradual mental develop
ment, a plan by which each day the
mind Is broadeued. To expect a child
to pass successfully on details which It
has used only as mental food and for
gotten for five, six, seven or nine
months seems not only unjust, but
ridiculous. The consequence is that as
examination time approaches there is
a examining Of matter into the mind,
mental Indigestion ensues and, not in
frequently, even the brightest students
are injured physically.
In the big world where results count,
a man is not examined at the end Of
each year as to his work during the
past IL months. The caliber of his
work and endeavor at the end Of each
day Is what counts, and SO 1t should
be in the preparation for this real
work.
