REPUBLICANS FAVOR
REMOVING BARNES

New York, May pa number of lead
ing republicans of the state strongly
favored the removal of William Barnes
Jr., as chairman of the state committee,
in speeches tonight at conference and
dinner attended among others, it was CIV
en- out, by a majority of the members of
the state committee held at the repub-
lcan club.
Newspaper men were not admitted, but
according to Herbert Parsons, straight
from the shoulder talks were made urg-
ing the selection of a man, as yet un-
named to take Mr.. Barnes place.
Mr.. Barnes was not invited to the con-
ference. but sat down stairs in the grnl
room with friends. II was selected to
fulfil a function and that function is TO
urge and promote the republican doctrine
to the voters" he said, referring to the
conference. These people want to change
the doctrine but they will have to put it
before the electorate to do it."
The conference agreed on urging a
change in the method of representation
of delegates at the national convention
and early fall convention to bring about
proposed changes.

"SOLDIER" KEARNS
AND FLYNN BESTED

New York. May 23.-Two heavyweight
boxing matches were staged at Madison
Square garden tonight-Geofge Rodel
the Boer," besting Soldier kearns in
eight of the ten rounds, and Jim Coffey
the dublin giant outpointing jim
Flynn of Pueblo after hard session
Coffey exhibited much cleverness, Flynn
at times standing still while coffey
rained a shower of lefts and rights to
his face and head. Flynn did a lot of
rushing and worked mostly for the body,
having his opponent backing away during
the last rounds, but Coffeys cleverness
at long-dlstance work was too much for
the western man. Coffey weighed 1873
pounds and Flynn 1871.
In the other bout Kearns weighed 202
pounds and Rodel 1856. Rodel depended
on his left hand nearly all through the
fight. Kearns knocked Rodel down for
count of five with a right on the jaw In
the second round. At the final bell
Kearns face was bruised and swollen
and his left eye almost closed.

BOARD OF CONTROL
OF BOYS CLUB MEETS

The board of control of the Boys club
met yesterday morning in the secretary s
office and among other things the report
of the work for the month ending last
Saturday was submitted. Mrs. w. ID.
Nesbitt, president, and Burr Blackburn,
superintendent of the organiza tion, were
present and the work of the club as re-
ported was highly complimerted by the
board
The organizing Of the Newsboys re-
public was the chief feature of last
months work. The vacant lot school
gardens were the source of some little
difficulties, but on the whole there was
no doubt expressed of making progress,
and it is believed that the experience
will help the small farmers to a better
advantage next year.
The report showed that the Working
Boys home, established some time ago,
was conducted on a very economical ba
sis considering the accommodate az

we see definite results in the lives

A Schools Ideal for Girls

Burton j. Hendrck, in McClure's Maga-
zine.
And, when you think out the uues-
tion in this personal fashion, you find
that the standard differs materially
from that which has hitherto prevailed.
Desirable as culture" may be even in
the conventional sense n detailed
knowledge of Latin, French, mathe-
matics, biology and Greek history is
probably not the first thing the nor
NAL man would ask for in his daughter.
Probably the first essential-moral
character being taken for granted-is
a sound and healthy body. Next, the
average man would probably like to
have his daughter as beautiful as pos
sible graceful in her movements gen
tie in her manners, gracious, tactfuI
and unselfish in her relations with 9TH
ers. He would also desire that she
should be sef-reliant. capable of ini-
tiafiVe, ready to accept responsibility.
brave, industrious and independent. He
would like to have her keenly inter-
ested In all the realities and essentials
of life, fond of good books, devoted
TO children and the home, alive to i'm
portant social movements aimed at the
regeneration OF the race-the fight
against child labor and disea Sc against
white slavery, the exploitation of men
and women in mines and factories
This ideal. 1t is hardly necessary to
say is strictly modern. 1t would include
nearly all of the old fashioned virtues
the bearing and rearing OF children.
the ability to sew, to make dresses to
cook and to go out into the world III
necessary and earpsan honora BILE living
1t would not even preclude a participa-
tion in public affairs. The Washington
Irving girls always have a good sized
delegation in the suffrage parade. More
tersely expressed, the Washington lrv-
ing ideal is: GOOD health. good looks.
good tempers, good brains good ideals
and good prospects"

Highest honors under the American
military service were recently bestowed
upon Captain Louis j. Van Schaick,
Sixteenth infantry, U. s. A, when
President Wilson pinned on this
soldiers breast the Congressional
Medal of Honor
The honor. long delayed, is given to
but few. The Batangas Province Of
the Philippines was the scene, and Sep
tember %, 1901. the date Of the heroic
deed that brought this badge of merit
and honor to Captain Van Schaick.
At that time he was lieutenant and
was travelling through the province ut
the head Of detachment of sixteen
men. While going through the gorge
with The roadbed at the 5ottom of 4
deep and narrow cut Lieutenant Van
Schaick saw not fifty yards from the
outlet the rear guard of a strong force
Of insurrectos. They numbered fully
a brigade.
Riding at the head of his pitifully
small force, Lieutenant Van Schaick
brought down three Filipinos with his
revolver. The three remaining car
tridges were fired into the mass of in
surrectos. By this time he was in the
midst or the rear guard. and. leaping
from his horse, engaged a bolo man
with his empty pistol
In the meantime his men put the
overwhelming force Of Filipinos to
rout, so fierce WAS their charge. Lieu
tenant Van. Schaick was severely CUT
about the arms and shoulders by the
Filipino he was fighting, who was in
the end killed by Contract Surgeon
James +. Mead, Of Detroit. For this
deed DR. Mend was promoted to the
raak of captain and volunteer surgeon.
