SENDS TEACHERS TO PUPILS.
italy Rsvsrses the Order Of rhInss
90 That Education May Be
Spread.


Italy's recent plan to educate her
mountain folk is already in operation.
according to the Rome correspondent
Of the New York Sun. AS the shep.
herds of the Abruzzi could not be
brought to school. teachers were sent
to them. The percentage Of illiterates
among the inhabitants Of the Abruzzi
has always been very high. and sta
tistics show that despite the fact that
many schools have been opened in the
towns and villages within the last
five years. 6S per cent Of the popula-
ton is still illiterate.
Some members OF the board Of edu-
cation feared that the general spread
OF education among the peasantry
would tend to a decline Of religious
faith. Others put forth the theory
that the inhabitants OF the Abruzzi
had been ignorant and unlettered for
centuries. and consequently had lost
the aptitude to learn.
Prof. Emidio Agostinoni discovered
the real cause. He noticed that the
government schools in the towns and
villages were not we'll attended. not
because the boys were not willing to
go to them. but because they could
not. The majority of the Inhabitants
Of the Abruzzi are shepherds. and
spend nine months out OF every year
IN the mountains. living in huts and
tending their focks.
Prof. Agostinoni suggested to the
ministry of public instruction the plan
which has now been adopted as an ex.
pertinent.
Instead Of having schools with teach.
ers and empty benches. why not send
the teachers up to the mountains
where the boys are. and hold classes
there?
The plan pleased some influential
members of the board OF education.
and 15 teachers we're furnished
with horses and instructed to ride out
every day and beat the country for pu.
pills. Wherever they found boys or
men willing to learn. they were to stop
and teach.
The Is travelling teachers have their
hands full. as. to their great surprise.
they found that the shepherds. young
and old. are not only willing to learn
to read and write. but that they are
very quick and intelligent-Youth's

MADE TRIPLE PLAY
oENsATloNAL PASSAGE IN BASE.
BALL HISTORY.
You May Have Other ideas. But All
win Agree That the Incidents Do
serlbed Must Have Been
Worth Seeing.

The most sensational play ever
made? Every fan will give differeL,
answer to this question. Some W.T.,
say that Chase made 1t when he saved
game by racing into the middle q
the diamond on pop fly. reaching the
ball when 1t was only few inches
from the grass. Ed. Walsh. the Chr
cago White Sox pitcher. thinks 1t was
made at Detroit two years ago.
1t happened In the game In which
Walsh broke the Detroit hoodoo. The
Tigers had beaten Walsh every time
he faced them. They regarded hili
as their lawful prey. The game was
played In Detroit, and Mullin. who
started the season with II straight vic
tories for the Tigers. was slated to
pitch against Walsh.
Early in the contest George Davis.
the veteran shortstop Of the Chicago
club. secured the only hit made Off
Mullin, and 1t was enough to win the
game. The ball. driven down the first
base line into right field. struck fire
hose lying in the grass and bounded
into the bleachers for a home run
After that Mullin was invincible.
Toward the end Of the game De-
troit opened with the usual rally.
Rossman. Detroit's first baseman. lead
ing of in the last inning. smashed the
ball against the fence for a clean
triple. Dutch" Schaefer drew a base
on balls. Schmidt. next at bat. gave
the hit-and-run sign and. with both
runners In motion. hit a hard bounder
down toward third base. where Tan
nehill of Chicago was playing. Tan
nehill made perfect scoop and threw
the ball to the plate. 20 feet ahead OF
Rossman. who. seeing that he was
caught. doubled back on the line,
hoping to dodge the tag long enough
to allow Schaefer to reach third.
Sullivan raced down the line with
the ball, driving Rossman before him
Rossman slipped and fell close to third
base and Just as Sullivan tagged him
for the first out Schaefer slid to third
In the meantime Schmidt. slow run
ner because Of an injury to his ankle
had rounded flrst base and was well
on his way to second. Sullivan
Strengthened up and whipped the ball
to Robe. who was covering second
base and calling for the throw.
AS Schmidt slid Robes arm came
down with a thump and Schmidt made
the second out. The instant Sullivan
threw the ball Schaefer was on his
feet and dazzling home from thirc
base. The plate had been left unprc
tected:o Sullivan was down near thire
base. Walsh. the pitcher, yelled fol
the ball and raced Schaefer to the
rubber. closely followed by George
Davis. The two runners collided II
front Of the plate.
Walsh was stunned and Schaefel
was thrown ten feet from the plate
alighting on his shoulders. Davis. wht
arrived about the same time. took the
throw and dropped the ball on tht
struggling Tiger. completing the thirc
out and the most sensational tripl,
play ever made in the big league

'she Had Arms About His Neck and

( That his wife both entertained and
shocked their company with limitations
OF Oriental dances while scantiiy clad.
was one OF the charges made by Ar
thur Stewart, OF No. 1000 Hudson-ave.,
who brought suit for divorce against
his wife, Alice. In Judge Mandelis
court. Thursday. Much OF the testi-
mony In the Gaze IL unprintable. and
most OF Il decidedly racy and salicious.
The Stewards were married In 1905,
and lived together until 1905. They
have q daughter three years old, tbs
custody Of whom both are lighting.
The child Is now with Mrs. Stewards
parents In Goderich, Ont.
Stewart testified that his wife called
him vile names, and many times at
tackled him while In a rage, her usual
weapon at these times being her teeth.
He said that at least 20 times she had
bitten his arms and hands until the
blood ran. He also charged that she
was cruel TO their child. alleging that
she beat the little girl numerically
for the least mistake, sometimes q
dozen times a day.
Stewart charged that his wife was
friendly with several men, some OF
whom he did not know. One OF the
men OF whom he was particularly
Jealous was John Hart. his uncle, a
well-known contractor living on Wood
ward-ave.
Several times when l came home

about his neck and was kissing him"

appeared he seemed to be anxious to
leave, and soon went away. l asked
my wife why she was 80 loving with
my uncle, and she replied that he was
her uncle, as well, and she could love
him IL she chose"

wife on the street several times with
other men, and recently saw her at
Bois Blanc with man whose name he
did not know.

ROYAL OAK TOWNSHIP
HAS GOOD ROADS FEVER
Bond Issue To BE Increased TO S4o,-
600 and II "a Miles Of Thorough
fare improved.

Royal Oak has weil-dsveloped
case OF good roads fever. In the meet
ing held short time ago a petition TO
bond the township for $4,000 for the
purpose OF building four miles OF con-
crete road on woodward-ave. and
three miles of gravel road on Oakland
ave. was signed by a sufficient num-
Der OF freeholders to make II man
datory upon the township board 70
submit the proposition. But this meet
ing SO inoculated the citizens with
good roads fever virus that this
amount OF road will nowhere nearly
cure the disease.
They have circulated another petit
ton proposing TO bond for $4,000 and
this petition has been signed by over
one hundred freeholders. This propo-
sition contemplates building four miles
as before planned on Woodward-ave.,
and three miles on Oakland-ave. also
four and q half miles on the Roches-
ter road, OF which one and one-half
miles will be concrete and three miles
gravel.
The Rochester road is the main
street through Royal Oak village, and
one-half mile OF the concrete road
planned is THE main street. II Is g,
pected the village will contribute
money raised by subscription and tax
to the amount of $4,000 toward the Inn
provement OF this street.
This will make a total of about
1884 miles OF road and street I'm
provement In the township and vii
lage, and the money will be made up
as follows: State reward, $500;
Royal Oak village. $4,000; subscrip-
ton, Edwin 8. George and others, 49,
600, and the money received from the
sale OF bonds $4,000, total of $780,
500.
This will place Royal Oak township
on the good roads map. Troy town
ship, just north Of Royal Oak last fall
turned down by large vote the prop
osition to bond for good roads, but IL
now shows sign Of catching the good
roads fever and voting on the matter
again
