NEWS OF THE DAY.

A treacherous sea, kicked up by the
strong northeast blow, CEASED the death
OF one man, and other tragedies we're
averted only by the narrowest margin
through the desperate work of beach
life guards at Atlantic City yesterday.
The drowned man is John G. McFar-
ley, a St. Louis aviator.
A l-pounder gun, designed by Rear
Admiral Nathan G. Twining, chief OF
the naval bureau of ordinance, to des
troy aeroplaues in battle, was partially
tested at the proving grounds Of the
navy at Indian Head, Md, yesterday.
Its preliminary performance was salts
factory to the ordnance experts. Only
three shots were fired, and, at an angle
Of So degrees, the shells we're sent
1000 yards into the air and dropped
into the Potomac 600 yards distant
from the gun.
A special dispatch to the New York
Herald from Chicago says: Champ
Clark's presidential boom will be semi
officially LAUGHED Saturday at the nat
ional convention of Delta Tau Delta
fraternity. In the movement are
thirteen members OF Congress, who be-
long to the Delta Tau Delta society.
The street railway committee at
Liverpool yesterday decided to reinstate
the strikers, thus ending the labor
troubles in that city. Sixty-eight
thousand men, who were at Liverpool,
awaiting yesterdays decision on the
part OF the street railway committee,
| will now return to work.

RIOTING IN ENGLAND.

A dispatch from Liverpool in yester-
days Gazette told of mob OF three
thousand boys attacking street cars
breaking windows, aud terrorizing GER
tain sections of England's great ship
ping port. Such scenes are signs OF
the times, and show that many OF the
coming generation are being tutored
in lawlessness by the example set by
their elders. 1t has been suggested
that should men lead law-abiding lives,
their children would doubtless follow
in their footsteps, but when boys see
their fathers defy the police and throw
bricks at cars, they too, are liable to
become lawbreakers. Besides, thou
sands of children sit around family
boards and listen to incorporate salE
from men who regard capitalists and
corporations as The natural foes OF
mankind. Like father like son, )" Is
an old and true saying. People who
tutor their children to become rioters
are sowing a wind which will be
cyclonic when it does break loose.
Every country has large and growing
percentage of naturally born discop-
tents, who would not be satisfied had
providence cast their lot in the Garden
of Eden. Unfortunately, they are the
pedagogues OF many of the rising gen.
GRAFTON. England is staggering under
her heavy load of this genus. and there
is no telling whata few more years may
bring forth. One of the school books
OF by-gone years contained an obser-
walton to the effect that as the
twig is bent the tree is inclined" The
correctness OF this is universally ad-
mitted.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO OPEN

The public schools OF Alexandria will
resume operations on the eleventh III
timo. Preparations for the resumption
have nearly been completed, and within
the next two weeks the busy hum OF
the school room will again be heard.
While Alexandria may not have 10
stalled all the modern conveuiences and
adjuncts incident to the running OF a
large city, she has certainly not been
remiss in public education. During
the past forty years tue present public
school has been in progress, the city
spent many thousands OF dollars in the
interest OF popular education, and 10
recent years Alexandria has gone TO an
enormous expense in building new and
modern school: houses and in providing
everything needtul for the conduct OF
her educational institutions. The city
has no idea of relinquishing its work
until she is in position to point with
pride to her public school system as IN
ferior to none in the state. VI tcourse,
all this cannot be done in one or two
years, but the work is to be continued
until other buildings shall have been
erected and the educational methods
enlarged and improved. The schools
this year will open under better az
spices than at any time in their history
The facilities have been expanded by
the provision for high school and
providing for co-education. This Is a
great desideratum, which should be ap-
preciated, and we believe it is. The
boys' and girls buildings have been
lifted with modern heating and sanitary
arrangements, and every comfort Is
now to be enjoyed by the children OF
both sexes. The present generation,
for chose benefit so much money %
being spent in these days, are not as
conscious of the privileges they enjoy
as they might be. Many now living
ACQUIRED the little tuition they received
10 kitchens, frame shacks or in any
place some of the private teachers OF
by.gone days might feel inclined to Sc
lect for school rooms. Martin Luther,
when boy, was compelled to become
a wandering MINSTREL at night in order
TO beg his bread while going through
school. The little ones OF our days are
not forced to resort TO such hardships
in order to get their education.

Keep House Closed
To Have 1t Cool

In hot weather the good housewife
realizes that everything must be done
to keep the house as cool as possible,
and she has learned to do it scientific
ally. She airs out the whole place be-
fore the sun is high, and then closes 1t
up for the day, thus securely keeping in
the cool air of early morning. In a city
rhere brick and stone make the heat
Of midday particularly depressing, it
is important to do this, but unfortun-
ately most of the houses do not have
blinds or other means Of shutting out
the sun.
After airing the house close all the
blinds, but leave the windows open The
shutters in the blinds should be shut
tight on the sunny side, but left partly
open OH the others to admit stray
breezes. Toward evening all the blinds
should be flung open again.
It is easy enough to keep a cool cellar
throughout the summer II the widows
in 1t are opened all night and closed all
day. With a grating over each window
there will be no trouble from prowling
cats and other nuisances.
Nowhere is GOODNESS more important
than in the bedrooms, for in hot, close
room 1t is impossible to sleep.
The ono and only room which should
not be closed in the, heat Of day Is the
kitchen If one is burning wood or coal.
