A Pretty Good Yarn.

A telegram to The World from
Connecticut correspondent gave these
truly remarkable results of the explo'
sion of seventy-fve pounds of giant
powder and three dozen sticks OF dy.
Mantle on the farm of Silas Pettigrew:
l. When Pettigrew tried to milk
his prize Jersey. Isabel, he found she
was loaded with pure creamery but
ter.
2. The prize Cochin Chinas laid
scrambled eggs that could be served
with minced ham from the ruins of
the smokehouse.
s. Seven cords of pine were splin-
tered ready for sale to the match
factory.
4. Tons of rock that had been
dragged near the explosives to be
blasted for fence building were
broken to ideal fence size.
Chorus of readers-That telegram
must have been from Winsted.
Editor-Wrong; from Durham.
And here's another:
Home Buttery of Broad River,
Conn, tried to steam piece of plate
glass so he could bend it to put in a
bay-window.
Chorus of readers-Well, surely
that's from Winsted.

ASSAULT BY NEGRO.
Attempt on Life of Well Known
Florence Lady.

Florence, April 21:-An attempt.
supposedly to take the life of well
known Florence lady and her son,
Ferdinand, at their home, l04 East
street, this city, about $50 o'clock
Saturday night, was made by negro
with the use of a part of a heavy
steel 50 wrench. But for their
screams and the prompt response of
neighbors and members of the po-
lice force, both of them no doubt
would have been murdered. The hus-
band, who was at work in the A G L
yards, was apprised of the deed later
in the evening. The story as given
by Chief of Police H M Brunson,
who, with Foreman Mack Worrell.
of the chaingang, ran to earth the
negro supposed to have committed
the assault, is as follows:
The lady, the wife of an Atlantic
Coast Line trainman, and her 12-
year-old son were aloneat their home.
Some one knocked at the door and
upon investigation it proved to be a
negro, said to be named Herman
Kelly, who had been sent there to
buy milk. He did not have a vessel
to take the milk in and was loaned a
pitcher which he was to return.
Later in the evening Kelly returned
with the pitcher and, according to
the police story. as he handed the
lady the vessel he caught her by the
arm and struck her over the head
with a part of a steel IS" wrench,
which is used by track forces for
Tightening rail bolts, The blow par
TALLY felled her and she began to
scream. The assailart struck her
again and by this time her son, who
had been asleep, was awakened, and
he ran into the yard screaming.
Thinking that he had probably
slain the lady, the negro ran out af-
ter the boy, telling him. By this
time neighbors began to reach the
place and, fearing that he would be
caught, the negro, supposed to have
been Kelly, ran through the back
yard and attempted to scale high
fence to the side of the premises. In
doing so, however, q board broke
with him and he fell heavily to the
ground. AS he fell his arm was
caught on the end of a picket and
the skin torn off. In this condition,
and with blood from his victims
wounds smeared over his clothing,
he made good for the time his es-
cape.
1t was not long afterwards before
a great crowd gathered and the po-
lice officers proceeded to run down
the negro. Chief Brunson and Offic-
er Worrell followed a clue and
shortly after midnight, at the home
of Jack Black, whose wife is an aunt
of Kelley's, they arrested Kelly, who
is charged as being the man who
committed the deed.
When arrested Kelly is said to have
had the scratch on the arm which it
is thought was made in the fall over
the fence.
The officers took Kelly before his
victims, who identified him as being
the right party. Kelly was then
carried to the station house and later
removed to the Jail.
By this time there were various
rumors as to what would be done

THE NEW SENATE.

Not the least interesting of the
many phases of the tariff fight that
has just ended in congress was the
treatment OF the measure az The hands
OF the senate
In all previous tariff legislation,
history shows that downward revision
has had harder shedding in the senate
than in the house Under the coustl-
tstion all revenue bills must originate
in the house and the recorl shows
that when they have emerged from
the senate the duties have been high

measure. but not 50 in this latest re-
vision. II has been pointed out that
far more sweeping reductions We're
made by the senate than by The house

have senators shown 50 much eager

The explanation is not hard to find
In all probability it is due TO The con

their efforts 20 make the tariff bin
represent the wishes Of the people
rather than the interests Of the privi-
legged classes who have frequently in
the past dominated IN the election Of
senators by the legislatures Of the
several states.
This new tariff law, insofar as It
was shaped by the senate, represents
in a sense one OF the results OF the
far-reaching reform that was made
when the movement for popular elec-
tion Of senators was crowned with sue
cess. It is evident that the senate as
now constituted. composed as it is Of
men who are elected by and are d.
rectly responsible to the voters IS
very different body from that which
has existed in the past. IL is likely
that the same influences that keep
the senators mindful of the peoples

as effectively in future legislation on
other vital questions and we may
therefore expect the senators to be CO.

Der of the National Council of the
National Education Association.
Mr.. Wright first attracted attention
in this state as superintendent of the
schools OF Ironwood, where. during a
service of twenty years. he developed
the schools into one of the finest city
systems in the land. For five con-
secutive terms he was chosen, with.
out opposition, commissioner Of
schools of Gogebic county.
In 1906 he was. elected to his pres.
ent position He was reelected in
1908, again in 1909 and at the state
election two years ago was>returned
to office by a flattering majority OF
almost 100000 votes.
During his service as state super
intendent all lines OF educational
work have received his supervision
and much valuable legislation along
educational lines has teen enacted
The trend has been toward more
practical education. The introduction
OF vocational work has been advo-
Gated and agriculture made a required
subject in the rural SCHOOLS.
The amendment to the constitution
regulating the apportionment Of pri-
mary money is leading to good re.
suits. There has been an increase in
graded school districts with an in.
creased attendance of about 10000
and decrease in the enrolment OF
| ungraded districts OF nearly 5000.
Two years ago $2.500,00O was lying
unused in district treasures not avail
, able for any purpose other than for
f., teachers wages. During the last two
| years this money has been made
available for paying eighth grade tut
ton and for general tuition for such
pupils as could otherwise not have
, school advantages. Besides this 1t
has distributed the surplus to the dis.
tricts that needed 1t, so that at the
close of the year 1912 the amount on
hand in the various school districts in
the state was $1S0.394.23. or more
than two million dollars less than two
years ago There has been a notice
able increase In the number of dis
tricts enforcing the compulsory at
tendance law, in the number Of teach
ers employed, In the average wages
