ropeans at Naraingaj. who did not care
whether British rule was overthrown or
not, were selling arms to the natives.
in working up the present, case the po-
lice adopted European methods, and they
are not depending upon either informers
or confessions. Another arrest has taken
place in connection with the case. The
prisoners are regarded as heroes by the
students, who assemble in crowds to wit
ness their march to the court The au-

buyers of yesterday finally closed the
market easy at about 10 points decline.
Judging from the movement at the In

ENTIRE FORTUNE
 OF S3,000,000 IS
 GIVEN TO SCHOOL

St. Louis, June 13.-David J. Ran ken, Jr.. one of St. Louis wealthiest citizens and founder of the David J. Ranken, Jr, School of Mechanical Trades, has deeded his entire fortune, estimated at more than s3,0O0, 900, to the Board of Trustees of the Ranken School, to be used in the mainten- ance and enlargement of this institu- tlOn, which promises to be one of the largest schools of it's kind in the world.
 The announcement of MT. Ranken's s endowment, under which he reserves less than $3,00O year for his sup of Trustees following the signing of the last deed. The property deeded to the Board of Trustees consists of the land known as the Ranken tract" MT. Ranken's home. stocks in the Illinois Central and Rock Island Railroads, and of the Mississippi Val ley Trust Company, Mercantile Trust Company, Boatman's Bank, and the Merchants Laclede National Bank.
 The entire property and it's pro- seeds are to be applied wholly to the Trades School at the discretion of Board of Trustees.
 MT. Ranken, when he was asked for a statement, said:
 T dislike very much to see my
 
 anything about it. The matter is in the hands of the Board of Trustees"
 MT. Ranken lives in three small rooms over grocery store. Here he has lived for years and planned his fortune and worked out the scheme and ambition of his life-the found ing of the Ranken trades school for poor boys, an institution where boys over 16 years old receive a trade edu cation for a nominal fee.
 MT. Ranken visits his school every day and watches the boys at work. He has insisted that the whole scheme of education be practical. He insists that no time shall be spent in teaching theory in the lecture rooms, unless 1t has clear practical applica- tion in the shop work.
 Geometry is taught, but instead of having the boys compute the volume of a cone, they are taught the hold ing capacity of a funnel of like di- mensions. Classroom work in all branches of drawing, carpentry, bricklaying, painting, and steam en- gineering is along similar lines.
