lie school makes education easy to
obtain and education makes nations
prosperous and progressive.
THE public school is no expert
ment; its worth has been demon
strated and men and women occu-
pying positions of honor and respOn-
sibility were educated in the public
schools. The only argument against
the public school not being prefer
able to the private school is the
elimination of the bible and every
form of religious instruction from
the schOolroOm, and this is some
thing very much to be regretted"
Mrs. John Bowers: Loyalty to
our public institutions makes one
loath to admit any private school of
whatever kind as superior to the
public school, but the fact remains
that the present rigidity of our
school curriculum, it's inelasticity,
renders it difficult problem to the
conscientious child of naturally
nervous temperament or slow in
telligence. who desires to rank we'll
or even acquire an average grade.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10
Charles Corley left his home to the
south of Market street q years
ago with a small bundle in his
hand to face the world and make
his fortune He was then a boy
of 16 and was leaving a widowed
mother and two younger sisters.
Charles Corley returned to San
Francisco few days ago as James
Burns, ragged, unkempt and with
no visible means of support. He
had come home, he said, to see his
mother and sisters. One sister,
Mrs. Owen Kelly, visited him this
morning in his cell in the detention
hospital. 1t had been u long years
since she had seen him.
In q years COrley or Burns, had
wandered much over the face of
the globe. lie had shipped before
the mast on tramp ships of all ma
tons and travelled beneath speed
ing trains. There had been little
pleasure in this 81 years of wan
dering on the face of the earth. 1t
was hard work to keep alive.
Corley changed his name for
the first time in South Dakota. He
was seen by Waterman as he
crawled through bakery window
early one morning and was prompt
ly collared, He showed fight and in
the struggle which followed nearly
killed his adversary. He was ar
rested and sent up for long
term at hard labor. This lasted
for six years, then Corley, or Burns,
escaped,

had heard of it that he had nearly

The police arrested him as sus-
picious character. They thought
him insane and James Burns was
put in cell in the hospital. He had
not yet seen his sisters, but man
aged to notify one of them of his
whereabouts. She came to the hos
pital and inquired for Charles Cor
ley. There had been no Charles
Corley there. She was positive
that her brother was there. so
they let her peep into each cell as
she walked down the corridor.
In the last cell she found him.

SUES FOR DIAMONDS;
ONLY PLATE GLASS.
" Affinity" Thought They
Were Real Goods Till She
Visited JeWeler.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 49,
Edward f. Wheeler, who thought
for few months that he was des-
perately in love with Miss Elizabeth
Nj. Hughes, distant cousin, is now
suing the girl in the courts for the
return of his diamonds.
Miss Hughes arrived in San Fran
cisco from the east about a year
ago. Wheeler picked her out imme-
diately as his affinity and lavished
presents upon her. The prize gift,
which nearly sealed the fate of the
couple, was string of diamonds
that twinkled in the light just as if
they were real. Miss Hughes
thought they were real until her H.
lusions were dispelled one day
while observing the costly iewelry
at Shreve's. There she was in
formed by a clerk that the string
was glass.
Upon Wheeler's next visit to the
home of his beloved, he was told to
be on his way.
A month ago he sought revenge

of his Jewels He valued the
string and the other presents at a
total of 500. Miss Hughes. on the
witness stand in Justice of the
Peace Lawson's court, told the en-
tire story of the transaction.
Justice Lawson has taken the
case under advisement and will
hand down his decision later.

the quality of leadership, as every
child is given an opportunity to pit

those of his associates.
Another thing wherein the pub

is that the children learn to concen-
trate their minds. A child taught
by private tutor is surrounded by
calm and comfort and has to exer-
else no great concentration of his
mind, thus the faculty remains dor
mant. The children of the public
institutions are also taught to con-
troll their will and govern their emo

sometimes sadly neglected in the

what helped me will help others. My
body and face were covered with
sores. One day it would seem to be
better, and then break out again with
the most terrible pain and itching. l
have been sick several times, but
never in my life did l experience such
awful suffering as with this eczema. l
had made up my mind that death was
near at hand, and / longed for that
time when I would be at rest. had
tried many different doctors and medi-
cines without success, and my mother
brought me the Cuticura Remedies, in
sisting that l try them. l began to
feel better after the first bath with
Cuticura Soap, and one application of
Cuticura Ointment.

and Cuticura Ointment, and have
taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolv-

One Hundred Avalanche Victims.

Wellington, Wash.-The list of dead
and missing passengers, trainmen and
postal employees who were carried
down by the avalanche that destroyed
two Great Northern trains Tuesday
morning, now contains e1ghty-six
names. Statements of the number of
laborers engaged in fighting the snow
and who were sleeping on the Inflated
trains, vary from twenty to thirty.
Consequently an estimate of 100 dead
is conservative. The dead all were
residents of the Northwest. OF the
injured only one, the Rev. Bishop Win
get of Chicago, was an easterner.
The explorations have uncovered
only dead, and some Of these shocking
ly mangled. An avalanche of dry snow
might have covered its victims alive,
but the gorge is filled with snow, ice,
huge trees and glacial boulders OF
enormous weight.
Two of the bodies recovered were
those of the electricians who were liv-
ing in a cabin at the edge of yelling
ton and who we're carried with their
home 300 feet down the slope.

HAS COME INTO HER OWN
Spinster of To-Day by No Means the
Grabbed Old Maid of the
"Comic" Papers.

The day of the typical grabbed old
maid is passed. Even the comic pa
pers have ceased to make fun of spin
sterhood in this guise. Her place
has been taken by the independent
woman who quickly enough finds her
own niche in the world, and who gen
orally has plenty of common sense to
spare for the benefit of others.
The old maid of today finds a
whole realm of interest awaiting her,
and plenty of work which she cares
to do. No longer is she condemned
to solitude and a cat, no longer is
spinisterhood regarded as a term of
reproach and looked upon as con-
dition to be ashamed of.
Look at any of the big charities,
any of the numerous boards of man
agement, and you will see the old
maid triumphant and at her best, hap
py enough in her work and her eff
forts to help humanity.

KING OF NATIONS PHIL
ANTHRoPlsTS.

New York.-Among charities the
new Rockefeller foundation is to be-
come what the Standard Oil Company
has long been among corporations, and
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., as its head
will in another sphere of influence
perpetuate the domination so long
maintained in the world of industry by
his father.
The younger Rockefeller announced
Thursday that he had recently retired
from the directorate of the Standard
Oil Company to assume the manage
ment of his fathers benefactions. No
successor has been named to fill his
place in the oil company.
The announcement in Wall street
was taken to mean two things-that
all past estimates of young Rockefel-
lers future must now be revised, and
that hereafter the Rockefeller millions
will no longer be market factor. In
stead, it is assumed, they will pass
wholly into conservative securities,
such as it is proper for trust funds,
savings banks and insurance compa-
nies to acquire.

graduation from Brown University
some years ago as in prospect the
richest young man in the world, he
now leaves the field to J. Pserpont
Morgan, Jr., ten years his elder. Nor
gan, Sr., and Rockefeller, Sr., are both
very near the same age. The former
will be seventy-three in April, and the
latter was seventy some months ago.
Btho are in vigorous health.
Young Rockefeller's relations with
corporate finance in the future, it is
understood, will consist chiefly in con-
serving the huge fortune amassed by
his father, reinvesting the income and
distributing such part of it as may
seem wsse.
1t is not thought likely that the new
foundation for philanthropy, as pro-
posed by the bill introduced in the
United States Senate Wednesday Will
assume settled policies for years to
come, but in this connection Frederick
T. Gates, one of the incorporators of
the foundation, said that two main
points had been missed.
"every other eleemosynary institution
has been organized for some specific
object, and thus limited it's sphere of
helpfulness.
another thing-there are no secta-
rian boundary lines in the charter OF
the new foundation, and nothing to
prevent it from absorbing the work of
other organizations which have out
lived their usefulness under present
conditions
Gates was understood to mean that
there will be a gradual merger, along
family Rockefeller lines, of the Rocke'
feller charities. The general under
standing among those in the conf
dence of the family coincide with
those of Senator Gallinger, who intro
duced the bill to incorporate the foun-
dation, when he said that he believed
ultimately the bulk of the Rockefeller
fortune would be devoted to the work
