low Rothschild Made Millions in America Square l.

LONDON, Aug. 20-Thousands of
Americans this summer are visiting
the Tower of Aondon. But hardly
one of them turns aside TO see a spot
of especial historical interest, known
rs America Square, quiet little
backwater off the busy stream of life
in the Minories. where in former days
city merchants lived and traded.
Many have been the conlectures as
to the origin of its name, but all the
evidence points TO its having been so
called in honor of the declaration OF
American independence. strange as
that NAV seem in the heart OF London.
About that time the locality was 4
favorite residential quarter with
traders from the United States, and
even at the present day the number
of American business houses within q
stones throw of America square is re-
markablc, their presence being mani
tested every Fourth of July by the
flying of the "Stars and Stripes" from
their fagstaffs.
In addition to its origin, this
smallest of London squares has other
claims TO interest, for it was from a
house on the west side, recently de.
brick Offices. that Miss Caroline Harden
was married on March &c. 1885, at ST
Olave's church. Hart street, to Joseph
Chamberlain, the father OF the famous
politician of today, who is as well
known in America, where he found his
own bride, as he is in England. Just
before he fell a victim to paralysis
the ex-colonial secretary paid visit
to the square, and was convinced,
against his convictions Of the
Chamberlain family connection with it.
At No. Ia. the adjoining house,
which is still standing, Nathan Roths
child, the famous fnancier, reaped
the reward of his carefully land plans
b. receiving the first news of the result
of the battle of Waterloo, whereby he
was enabled to clear S5,000,000 on the
London stock exchange.
IL is strange that with these most
interesting associa tions attached to it,
America square should have been to-
tally ignored by modern writers on
London's history. The square is built
over the site Of the city ditch, dug
outside the Roman wall which here
passed in straight line between Aid
gate and the postern gate at the
tower. When tho excavations were
being made recently for q new block
Of offices n fine portion Of the Roman
wall was brought to light, but it was
not preserved. At the other extremity
Of the square, however, in the vaults |
of some bonded stores. there is to be |
seen splendid specimen of the old
masonry. In it there is still, unim-
paired, one of the original loopholes, |
through which the watchman could see |

outside the city boundary. At one
timo passage led from these vaults to
the postern gate of tho tower, the
entrance having been only recently
bricked up. The whole nlace, indeed,
is marvellous subterranean labyrinth,
for beneath the vaults are lower re-
gions still, Mt the very foundations Of
the ancient city wall, to be seen here
in its best preservation.

Mrs, Orville T. Bright, president of
the Chicago Congress of Mothers,
spoke to the department. of household
science of the State Farmers institute
at Edwardsville, saying in part: My
organization is doing the same kind
I. of work you are doing; we are pro-
noting domestic science as fast as we
can. We should join hands and learn
how to work together.
We felt we weren't doing the work
before US, and weren't equipped to
carry it on. We didn't know enough
about home work and the training OF
children, the one great profession for
which nobody ever prepares. Girls go
through college but only in recent
years have colleges had any thing In
touch with the home-maker in an
actual practical way. We mothers
through the whole country must find
a way to learn how to do our work
better and find a way to share our
advantages with other mothers who
lack the same.
Know and Help the Boys.
am convinced that we mothers do
very much better by our girls than we
do by our boys. In this day the moth
ering which should be done by both
father and mother. is done entirely by
mothers because the men are so busy
busy getting together the things that
we demand. We don't know so well
how to take care of our boys. Have
you ever noticed that the great proper
ton of men in the state prison are
very young men; very few women in

experience in bringing up our girls.

tuberculosis test, in violation of the
laws of the United States relating to
interstate commerce, Mr.. Cownie de-
clares he did so by orders of the board
of control, but that he had not been
aware there was such a law concern
ing the Shipment of cattle, and that
the governor had admitted that he had
not known of this law until he had in
vestigated the matter.
Brands Charge wicked.
The governors second charge, which
alleges that Mr.. Cownie used improper
language to a girl in the industrial
school at Mitchellville, Mr.. Cownie
brands as wicked and malicious"
falsehood and states that mo word or
act of mine toward any girl in the
school has been other than pure, such
as true father would give to his own
daughter
Mr.. Cownie answers the third charge
that he had informed convict in one
of the penitentiaries that the board of
parole had not acted fairly toward
him, by declaring the statement to be
deliberate falsehood."
Regarding the charge that Mr.. Cow
ME, in writing Dr. Kischner, asking
for his resignation as superintendent
of the state sanitarium for the treat
ment of tuberculosis at Oakdale, had
stated the board was unanimous in
asking his removal, Cownie declares
that at the time the letter was written
the board was agreed the change
should be made. but that Judge Robin
son later changed his mind concern
ing the matter, leaving the board two
to one in favor of Superintendent
Kischner's removal.
The last charge, that Mr.. Cownie in
addressing the girls school at Mitchell
vile stated that had he been a girl at
the institution at the time of a riot 10
years ago, he would have joined in the
rebellion, Cownie declares as false.

as carefully looked after as the girls.
Parents clubs have done wonders;
they have done a great deal in mate
rial ways for the school buildings.
have known manual training to be put
into schools because patrons of the
school would have it. Too many par
ents get the idea that what is going
on in the school house is none of their
business, but give the little ones up to
the teacher just as if they weren't our
children. The greatest benefit is from
the parents coming into the school and
talking things over with the teacher;
this is infinitely greater than the mate
rial improvement, valuable as it is.
Culture In Domestic Science.
Our schools are doing a splendid
work but it is entirely too limited.
The educator generally doesn't even
yet quite realize the cultural side of
manual work. Part of the book study
could be laid aside for more of the
active work, and no culture be lost.
The brain work in domestic science
and manual training is equal to the
brain work in the study of any book
Women are timid about going into
school houses. We feel out of place
there, that we have nothing to offer.
But we have things of infinite advan-
tage to offer to teachers. We shall
never have schools that are just what
they ought to be until the patrons are
part of them just as the faculty is
part.
Boy Hated Dissection of Literature.
One day my boy came home from
school and expressed a great liking
for the book, Lady of the Lake.
which his class was beginning to read;
but it was not long until he came

home with disguised look and threw
that book down and said, Il just hate
it," | found out that 1t wasn't really
the book he hated, but the method in
which the class was forced to study
and dissect it, His teacher, a close
friend of mine, was amazed when 1
told her the result upon the boy. She
was required to teach certain things
assigned.
After all, what is the important
thing? l want my boy and girl IN the
study of literature to love literature
that is the great thing. Education
doesn't stop when We get out OF
school. | don't care so much what
they have read or what they haven't
read, but it makes a difference
whether they love it or hate it. The
trouble was the teachers didn't think
enough about the nature of the child.
Try to be a little less thorough.
don't care whether my boy knows
every little point in Lady of the
Lake." but do care that he can quote
some beautiful passages and that he
loves it. Every one of us has some
thing to bring to the teacher, and we
must not be afraid to go in and talk
to her.
Why should we stop with the edu-
cation of our boys when they leave
school? Every community is full OF
young people who must go on with
their education. We are not getting
our moneys worth out of our school
buildings; why not have gatherings at
the school house for education and en-
tertainment?
COmpanionship with Children.
1t is a necessity to know the COM
panions of your children and know
them thoroughly. There is no greater
mistake that we mothers can make
than to allow our children to form
companionships without knowing what
they are and what they stand for. We
must associate with our children and
learn about their associations. You
can do so much if you see early to the

cratic candidate for congress against

spite of the denial made by Mayor
Knots that he was candidate or that
he would consent to become one.

you can't keep Mayor Knots down and
that he Is really bigger than the office
Of mayor of city of this size. He be-
1iaves that he Is just the kind OF man
that appeals to the public or rather to
the common people. He likened him in
fact to President Grover Cleveland

of the county in which Bufralo is To-
Gated.
Compares Him to Grover.
Later the president became mayor OF

draw the line on the possibility of Mr.
Knots becoming president some time
In the not very distant future.

The right of way could probably be
easily secured and with as little ex-
penditure of money as the Gary &
Southern right of way was procured.

CROWN POINT INDIGNANT.
The action of the Gary citizens who
have control of the situation, in delay
ing and putting stumbling block in
the way of the successful completion of
the Gary & Southern road by refus-
ing the necessary franchise is arousing
a great deal of indignation around
Crown Point citizens and business men
and the concensus of opinion here is
that If Gary does not cater or care for
any friendly commercial relations be-
tween Crown Point and her southern
boundary the citizens here are ready to
