MAY REOPEN NIGHT SCHOOLS.
Council of Jewish Women to Defray
Expense of Glasses.

The night classes at the Franklin
School. which. with the other local night
schools. closed their season last week,
may be reopened by the Council of Jew
ish Women in the very near future, as
this organization has offered to the school
authorities to defray the expense Of at
least one class, and possibly more.
The night schools were compelled to
close, as in previous years. because of
lack of funds. The Council Of Jewish
Women. having become greatly interested
in the classes for foreigners conducted in
the school. made the offer to pay for the
continuance of one or more classes of
the school If the school authorities would
permit II. The officials have the matter
under consideration at present and will
probably make their decision in the i'm
mediate future

Songs of the Long Ago.

T A feature that promises to attract con-
siderable attention is scheduled to begin
In our next Sunday Magazine. 1t is no
less than the printing each week of one
of the we'll known popular old songs that
everybody thinks he knows and so few
really do. How many of our readers. for
instance, can recall all the words Of
America" our national hymn? How
many know even the complete words OF
Home, Sweet Home? But there is no end
of songs besides these, of course, of which
the general public knows snatches. and
nobody all the sta1Zas. These songs will
appear in our Sunday Magazine till most
of the popular collection has been ex-
hausted. with the complete words in all
cases, and enough of the music to start
you off right And the chief feature of
their republication in this form will be
the reproduction of magnificent paintings
made specially for this series by promi-
nent artists Of the day. The series will
be started in earnest in our next issue
with Henry Carey's famous song. Sally
in Our Alley with drawing by Fred
Pegram. Look for It in our Sunday
Magazine.

REGARDED AS HEARTLESS.
Alleged 1nquisition in Departments
Resented by Grand Army Post.

Acting upon reports that ex-soldiers in
the executive departments are being re-
quired to disclose the amount Of the pen
sions received by them and that the in
formation is being used in considering
reductions of their departmental salaries.
John A. Rawlins Post, No. 1. Grand
Army Of the Republic. has resolved to
bring the matter to the attention of the
nalional headquarters of the G. A. R. and
to the President.
At its last meeting the attention of the
post was called to the facts and the in
formation aroused considerable indigna-
ton. BY some it was denounced as
violation of the Revised Statutes as we'll
as q gross injustice to the nations de-
tenders. 1t was declared that the receipt
Of a government pension did not initiate
in fixing the wages paid old soldiers in
private employment, and that for the
government to do 1t was unfair and
heartless as we'll as unwarrantable.
It was charged that the first operation
of this new method Of disposing of super
animated clerks was tried recently in the
Post Office Department. and that twenty
three of the sixty-odd persons reduced
were veterans who receive pension.

An Unusual Ghost Story.

Peter Emmons Who Was" an entrant
in our prize competition, Is written by
Paul West. Some Of our editors. In pass
ing upon it, said 1t was the best ghost
story they ever read; which is saying a
good deal. for there have been some very
fine ghost stories published. This tale Is
another example of the remarkable versa
tility possessed by Mr.. West. who has
done more than ordinarily well in practi-
cally every branch Of current literature,
from writing songs to turning out novels.
1t Is rather grimly appropriate that this
ghost story should be No. l3 In the list
Of competitors. Remember, in our next
Sunday Magazine.

WILL SEND MAGAZINES

Change in Third Contract Sec

Made After July l.

Fast freight will be utilized after July /
for the transportation Of magazines and
other bulky periodicals through what is
known as the third contract section of
the country, comprising the states of
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri.
THE plans 1 have decided upon." said
Postmaster General Hitchcock, "are not
proposed as a solution of the pending
controversy over the suggested increase
Of the second-class mail rates on the ad-
vertising sections Of magazines, but they
probably will tend to bring about solu-
ton of that question the more easily
The quadrennial weighing of the mails
in the third contract section is now in
progress. BY direction of the Postmaster
General, given in accordance with his
plan for transporting periodical mail by
fast freight where a saving can be eff
fected, the weights of monthly and semi
monthly periodical mail matter original
Ing in large publishing centers are being
taken and kept separate from the weights
Of other mails. The great publishing
centers are Boston, Springfield, Mass;
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.
From July 1 next periodicals that can
be transported in carload lots by fast
freight through the section weighed, with
out disadvantage in delivery, will be car
ried in this manner and paid for at
freight rates The weights of the period
icals taken during the present quadren-
NAL Weighing will be excluded from the
basis Of adjustment of transportation pay
for the four-year term of the railways

Distributing Terminals.

Distributing terminals have been estab-
lished in Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago. st. Louis. Omaha, st. Paul and
Cincinnati. Through matter that can. be
handled in carload lots will be sent
through the weighing section by freight,
and such additional distribution as is
necessary before the matter Is delivered
to other railway post office lines will be
done at the terminals. Arrangements will
be made with the publishers for a finer
separation in the publishing offices and
for an earlier mailing Of their matter, so
that the slower method of transportation
may not affect the regularity or prompt
ness of its delivery.
I'VE expect said Mr.. Hitchcock, Ito
effect considerable economies, not only
in the actual cost of transportation OF
the matter, but also in the railway post
office car pay. in the section that IS now
being weighed: and as the other sections
are weighed and the plans adjusted to
them, the aggregate saving to the govern
ment will be very large"

FOURTH OF THE
 GREAT AMERICANS
Rev. P. c. Wright Speaks of Life, Work and Character of Frances Willard.

For the last of his series of four summer addresses on Great Ameri- cans, Rev. P. c. Wright considered Frances Willard, her life, her work and her character, at the Central Baptist church, on Sunday evening. There was a good Led congregation and George A. Turner sang in excellent voice.
 Many qualities and characteristics enter into life to make men great, said the speaker. But there is one great, unshifting quality and that quality is virtue. In every great life there must be virtue. A man may be bril- liant and a man may have a splen- did education, but great moral strength is necessary for greatness, and this may be achieved by a man without brilliancy and one deprived of the ad- vantages of an education.
 The lack of opportunity for devel- opment in the early life of Frances Willard, her inability to attend school until IA, and the subsequent steps in her education were touched upon up to the time when ill with typhoid fe- yer, her religious faith was awakened. The speaker divided her life into four periods, those of her youth, her teach ing, her travels and finally that of her great life work. The hour of deeis- ion in Boston, when she declined the presidency of an institution of learn ing to accept the presidency of the w. C. T. U.. of Chicago. so profoundly impressed was she with the awful ness of the curse upon the land and the influence that women might have was described. She was endowed with the conviction that life should be spent according to the vision that God gives us and not controlled by worldly de- sires. In her character she had those qualities that men and women need to build into their lives to make them useful She was born leader, with a clear-cut conscience and an oppor- tunity. She was a reformer who stood for absolute sobriety in both high and low places. yet mellowed by sympathy, by her loving, gentle spirit. instead of repelling. she drew people around her. Her tender sympathy, her deep moral purpose and her unbounded faith in God were eminent character istics of Frances Willard.

TO SHOOT
 NEPHEW IN TALMAN STREET
Joseph FaIcone Claimed Revolver Be- Ionged to Him and Was Arrested With His Brother Frank.

There was plenty of excitement in Talman street Sunday when a dispute arose and during the melee it is claim ed by Michael Falcona that his uncle, Frank Falcone, jumped back of his uncle, Frank, drew a revolver and threatened to shoot him. Michael says that his father who is Joseph F'alcone, and brother of Frank, grabbed the re- volver and took it away from Frank and put it in his pocket.
 Complaint was made to the police and Frank was arrested. Joseph was searched also, and the revolver was found on him. Although Michael said that Joseph had taken it away from Frank, Joseph declared that he had not, and that it was his revolver. It was loaded. The weapon was taken away from him and both were locked up for carrying concealed weapons and Frank was charged with breach of the peace. In the evening they secured bail
