ADJUSTMENTS.
Baumgardt's Lectures.

"An Evening With the Stars" Baum
gardt's fourth lecture in his scheduled
course, was presented before a large au-
dience at the Belasco last night The
armament as revealed by the world s
largest telescope, disclosed a starry PAN
Drama of which the earth Is but an
atom. and gave new conceptions of what
science has done to create for man the
extended vision which nature has denied
him. Craters of the moon were shown
in more convincing detail than smaller
telescopes have been able to picture, and
sciences last word concerning Mars
contradicts the existence of canals. The
mathematical exactness with which the
celestial bodies move and the absolute
proof they give Of a supreme guidance of
the universe was accented, incidentally,
when in showing photograph of star
group-the work of Prof. Langley-the
speaker in comparing its resemblance to
a frost picture he had taken in Switzer-
land, threw on the screen window pane
which nature had illustrated in marvellous
design.
In the afternoon Mr.. Baumgardt added
to his course a specially requested sub
ject, Napoleon Bonaparte, Conqueror
and Captive Of the Earth"
The applause Of a number of distin-
guished foreigners in the audience at the
Belasco testified to an appreciation of the
study which the speaker had given to his
subject and the care with which the
hundred and more slides had been select
ed from paintings identified with Napo-
Icons career.
While admitting crimes born Of an
overweight ambition, the speaker de-
clared Bonaparte to have been the
greatest military leader of all times"
and that while the time may come when
his victories shall be but so many echoes
from the past the impetus he gave to
the progress Of mankind was for all
time. Next Sunday evening Mr.. Baum
gardt will lecture on "a Visit to Athens"

ROCKEFEL[ERS ACQUIRE
OLD TRAPPER'S CABIN
Ends Long Feud for Possession of
Property in Adirondack
Mountains.

MALONE. y. Y. March 3o.-Word has
been received here that the celebrated
Observation-Disclosures feud has been ended
by the action of William Lamora in sell
ing the cabin and grounds left him by
his father. hunter and trapper. who re-
fused to sell his property to make up a
portion of William Rockefeller's vast
Adirondacks game preserve
1t was in 1892 that William Rockefeller
set out to acquire the game preserve. He
bought 10000 acres around the town of
Brandon. but could not secure Oliver
Iamora's cabin and clearing. which stood
in the way. Out of this arose legal
battle between the oil magnate's agents
and the old trapper
Neighbors Aided Him.
1t was expensive work for Lamora. but
the old trapper's friends and neighbors
sympathized with him and came to his
aid financially.
Iamora was arrested for trespassing,
having ignored the 1900 signs forbioding
this, posted on the reserve. But twice he
defeated the Rockefeller agents in the
courts by showing that the nSh IN the
Rockefeller streams were supplied by the
state hatchery. and that the state law
forbids the setting aside of such waters
as part of any private estate.
On the third occasion, when the agents
got Larnora into court 1t was a civil suit
for damages. 1t went through several
courts, finally reaching the court of ap-
peals which found in the kockefellers
favor.
Blow Staggered Lamora.
The damages awarded were only IS
cents. but $500 in costs was assessed
against the old trapper. This was
staggering blow, and the loss of the cabin
was threatened for a time Lamoras
friends. however. proved loyal, and club
bed together successfully TO raise the
sum.
For the remainder of the old mans life
the Rockefeller agents recognized as
useless any attempt to get him TO sell.
After he died his son. to whom the prop
erty fell. assumed the same attitude as
his father for a time, but he finally has
been induced to sell.

Less Typhoid Fever Here.

DR.. Murray believes the success Of the
local campaigns to be responsible for the
nationwide interest being taken in work
of this character. The fact that fewer
cases of typhoid fever were reported in
the National Capital last year than In
ny previous twelve months has received
xtensive advertising, and health author
tiles here and elsewhere are inclined to
attribute this, improved health showing
to the effective work Of citizens last
spring in removing trash and destroying
disease-breeding sources.
It was announced today that the clean
city committee will hold its next meet
ing the evening of April 6 instead of April
I, as previously announced. At this meet
ing final plans for launching cleanup

Delegates from South America. Eu-

international congress on child welfare
under the auspices of the National Con-
gress of Mothers and Parent teachers

"A child under fifteen years of age
should never be taken before court as
an incorrigible,' said Vice President
Marshall last night in discussing an
address he had delivered along these
guests at the banquet Of the Henry

the abolition of juvenile courts. but
favored the addition of parental tribu-
nails. He did not believe the juvenile
courts ought to have the right to send
children to criminal institutions for cor
rection unless they be at an age where
they have little regard or respect for
their parents teachings.
Mrs. Fred T. Du Bots, in speaking of
the need of policewomen in Washing
ton, and the work now carried on by
the big sisters who act as volunteer
officers. emphasized prevention" as the
greatest aid in fighting the evils of child
life.
This country" she declared spends
s1.10o. 100000 each year on it's courts
and penal institutions, and about $780,
100000 on its schools. If the difference
between the two were expended on the
schools and the churches, think how
greatly we could conserve childhood.
Our present school system teaches
the children everything excepting the
very things they should be taught. the
greatest vocation Of all--fatherhood and
motherhood"

Hashuqua Correspondence.

It was the writer's privilege
and pleasure to attend the open
ing exercises of the Noxubee COun-
ty Agricultural High School, Tues
day, the 8th. We were late get
ting on the ground and Prof.
Brooks, of the A. & NJ. college,
had the floor delivering a very
fine and practical address to a well
filled house Of hearers. Pm sure
that the address was an inspiration
to all who heard it, and those OF
the community who were not there
certainly missed a treat.
Mr.. T. j. wilkins, Jr., one of
newly elected trustees, was the
next speaker, followed by Mr.. j..
@. Poindexter, who also is a trus-
tee. Both made short talks that
were good and we'll received.
1t seem to us that the school has
opened up under very favorable
conditions with u number of new
students from the county at large
who will board ut the d0mitOry.
There has been some good i'm
provements made in the farm in
the last twelve months and we
have been informed that there has
bcen 20 acres of land added to the
place.
The doctrueo of fewer schools and
setter teachers, that is universally
preached now adays is q good one,
md what We shall attempt to say
,long this line Of progressive edu-
.ation is not intended for any crit
icism or reflection on any one of
he faculty, or to discourage any
patron, but to bring out the very
best possible in them; why do we
say this? Because ofthe immature
lge of the majority of the faculty
1t is feared and talked by some
that a mistake has been made on
the part of the trustees in the Sc
lection of them. 1t is hoped
though that such will not be the
case and that this will be the most
successful year in the short history
of the school.
So let the trustees and faculty
take notice and see that the very
best possible in them is put into
effect and all concerned will be
made to rejoice in the end.

Church, State and Poor.

A book on "The Church, the State
and the Poor has been written by an
English vicar. The book is compre-
hensive, tracing the subject of preref-
ormatlon days. The author regrets
that during the growth of collectivism,
under which he Classics what is
called christian socialism," the
church has trusted too much to the
state to better the conditions among
the poor. Now there is a revival of
interest in the welfare Of the poor on
the part Of the church. The writer's
contention is that a firm belief in the
Christian creed is the only inspiration
and guide to any effort to solve cthe
social problem"
