suit in the name of her father guardian II dragged
its slow length along until finally she obtained judg

Court Of Appeals. and there old legal techni

grossly unjust by many legal authorities. and con-

become celebrated. and is quoted in the Code
reason for the change in the law. 1t is undoubtedly
harsh that Miss Hank should be brought before 4
court in the present manner, and IL Mr.. Pike
alive believe he would abandon the case, for the
amount involved is insignificant.


Have you any idea that Miss Hauk will be arrested

ENGEEEE FRXEKILNs INDIGNANT REPLY TO


TIE CHARGES or PARK COMMISSIONERS LANE


Mr.. Thomas Franklin the experimenting engineer
Of Riverside avenue, met yesterday by HERALD
reporter. He was highly indignant at the implied
charges OF fraud against him in Park Commissioner
Lanes published letter Comptroller Kelly There
is absolutely not atom Of foundation for them."
he said 1T is gross outrage and will be righted
without doubt in the very future. The follow
ing conversation ensued:--


Has any portion Of the pavement of the Riverside
Drive been completedY'


None has been completed, because il requires
eral rollings before it can be actually declared
finished. but considerable work. than the
casual observer would imagine, has been performed
upon it,"


"How is it that you have made return OF 1900
square yards if the work is not finished p


This il only approximate estimate Of the value
Of the work actually performed. Other work which
is not completed is estimated and know of no rea-
son why TINS should not be. The pavement has been
partially finished 10 the extent of about 900 square
yards. which the contractor has only received
about 2,s00 IL is customary for engineers TO esti
for pavement partly done the work progresses.
OF course it docs not affect the final amount OF work
70 be paidior."


Mr. Lane in his letter, quotes his last refusal to
audit the claim OF Messrs. Decker Quntard in the
following words:-I refuse to audit the foregoing
estimate Of Messrs Decker Quintard for sl5 i25 %
for the that my personal examination OF the
work satisfies me that the work has not been per-
formed in accordance with the contract and that the
certificate OF the engineer. franklin that IL has been
performed is incorrect What have you TO ray in
reply to that charger


I'm reply 70 that have 10 say that examined
the WORK carefully and know that 1t was properly
done and certified accordingly. Mr.. Lane not being
engineer OF course cannot be competent judge
Of engineering work. The work itself will stand the
test OF examination by any competent engineer. aud

test. invite and desire the fullest investigation into

"A newspaper came as a package wrap
per into farmhouse near Cleveland O.
1t was very innocent looking sheet,
but was full of buzz and hum of the
great world outside of this secluded
farm. Clara, an eighteen -year-old daugh-
ter of the house, was charmed with it,
and charmed with it's column of person
al advertisements. They were new to
her, it a newspaper was not entirely
new. She had never seen such conf
dental communications made public
before. She was fascinated with the ro-
nance OF such a method of acqualn-
tanceship as it prescribed. One young
man of easy means, living in city,
wanted to make the acquaintance of
lively country girl, through cores
pondence. 1t was just to have little
fun-that was ALL Clara thought she
filled the conditions of a lively country
girl, and wrote. He wrote; his letter
looked right. 1t was fair writing, all
modesty and good breeding. 1t was de-
lightful to Clara to have a city cores
pondent, nice young man whom she
had never seen, but already admired for
his penmanship and sentiments. Be-
sides, he told her in his first letter that
he had received hundred answers to
his advertisement, but had singled hers
as the only one to which he made reply
This was hattering her. She knew no
better than to believe it, and her own
girlish vanity helped to snare her. OF
all this Clara's parents knew nothing
for some time. At length he wanted a
meeting, and she told the old folks how
she had been amusing herself A meet
ing would do no harm she thought; it
was all pure fun Her parents thoug ght
differently, but through her earnest
solicitations they at length consented,
and Clara and her correspondent met
She thought his person as fine as his
writing and as noble as his sentiments.
He loved, she loved, but the parents
did not love. The young fellow was too
fashy dressed to suit them-plain,
country people as they were. He was
too loud for the modest scope of farm
house. But at length the old folks
gave way to an engagement, and in a
short time there was marriage in that
house, and the flower of the farm left
for the city a happy bride. Her ro
nance had become reality. What
money the old folks could scrape to-
gether went with her to make easy the
beginning of life. In less than two
months the girl returned to her country
home with the look of twenty years
more age and experience stamped on her
face She had lived long life in two
short months He did not turn out to
be what she expected He was gam
bier, and luck was against him. She
thought he was a broker, and the de-
ception broke her heart. He spent all
her dowry and pawned her extra clothes,
and then she was forced to return to
her parents in rags, for something to
eat. That's W hat came Of the fun OF
answering a personal" addressed to

PART II.


Says noble hearted mother who be-
gins to have some conception of the
grandness of her mission, II am sure |
love my boy, but do not feel compe-
tent to conduct his education success
fully till he is ten years of age | just
begin to see what [ lack am ignorant
of the true order of study, and do not
know in what way best to present the
different subjects. l find myself una
bic to bring in counter educational fore
es to neutralize his evil tendencies.
| find him full of life and energy, but
that energy, instead of being harnessed,
controlled and made to elevate and en-
oble him, is, through want of knowledge on
my part, proving the destruction of the
boy. John is almost ten years old, and
| have to confess that he has made
very poor start. | fear he has taken
the road that leads to ruin. The early
impressions you speak Of are there, but
| fear they are Of kind that will bring
sorrow and shame to both him and me-"


Thus it ever is; constant watchful-
ness and ceaseless effort are the price
of good character. Children may
grow up without much care and chance
to become reasonably good people. but
the venture is hazardous one, and, in
most cases, fraught with disaster and
sorrow of heart.


But we have digressed. Let us find
our charge under the guidance of
mother, whose love and knowledge COM
bine to make of her a perfect woman,
who mars not the precious soul that is
developing a character the duplicate Of
her own in all that is beautiful and good.
Here We have teacher who recognizes
the forces within that impel the child
to act, and seeks so to preoccupy the
intellectual and moral field as to leave
no room for the erroneous and the evil.
She knows that early impressions are
lasting, and that habits acquired in
childhood are difficult to break, so she
never suffers her + watehfulness to (. flag


Let us find our pupil again at eight
years of age. His eye is bright, his
complexion clear, and his step elastic.
His muscles have been developed just
enough to balance his brain, his brain
has been developed moderately, not
forced, and his affections have been ex-
ercised healthfully. He begins to learn
that there is right way and wrong
way of living. His conscience begins
to unfold, for his teacher. through all
her other instruction, has wisely blend
ed the moral, not by precept alone, but
by seizing and turning to advantage
actual occurrences to enable her the
more deeply to impress her pupil with
crime, and to make the picture look
darker still, by contrasts he has pre-
sented shining examples of virtuous
deeds and righteous living. And so the
pupils tendencies to evil have been met
at every point, and the forces, which
these would otherwise control, have
been turned into bene6cent channels.
A good foundation for system of ex-
cellent habits has been laid on the en-
during basis of benevolence and truth.

THE ICE IN THE NORTH BREAKING UP-ANAitl'


BEGINNING TO DE FELT FOR ACTION By CON


GnEss.


IBY TELEGRArH TO THE TRIBUSE.l


WAsmNGToN April 4.-The friends and promoters
of the Hovgate Arctic Exploring Expedition are be-
coming uneasy on account of the delay of Congress
in taking action in the matter. Very little doubt Is
felt by them that when the bill making an appro-
priation necessary TO fit ont the expedition Is
brought up in the House 1t will pass without serious
opposition but the element of time quite as ncces-
sary 10 the success of the enterprise as money! is be-
ing squandered in n way which seems to Indicate
that Congressmcn are not aware OF Its Importance


Reports from Labrador and other high Northern
ATTITUDES confirm the opinions OF weather experts
at home, that 10 season 50 favorable TO northern
evnloroton has occurred for thirty years. Owing to
the warm Winter just past, comparatively little ice
was formed. and this is now supposed to be break
ing up. drifting South and melting. European
steamers report having encountered icebergs much
earlier this season than for many years before. San
gune hopes are based on these facts that if the ex-
pcdton can get away from shores by the 25th Of
July leaving Disco about the 18th of August,
no difficulty will be experienced in seaming
directly north az far as Lady Franklin Bay, about
$50. nearly rs far as the highest point reached by
any former expedition. Should these hopes be
realized and base Of supplies be established IN that



vicinity during the coming Summer, its friends say
the ultimate success of the expedition under the
well-consdered plans on which it Is TO be conducted
would be certain.


The bill appropIatng $50, 900 for This expedition
is in the hand, OF Congressman Willis, Of Ncw-iork,
10 whom as Subcommittee. the matter was re-
ferred by Tie House Naval Committee This gentle
man gave the subject careful study and made very
favorable report UpOn IT. which was adopted ~ TIE
full committee and presented to the House.
The same report was also adopted by the
Senate Naval Committee, and Conu"ssmen
generally who have been heard TO express
opinions on the subject favorable to the project
Every day between the present time and the last
OF July later than winch the expedition ought not
TO start is Of great consequence 20 the proper ar
Tangemont of details, and If the appropriation was
even available, the time would be none 100
purchase supplies The promoters OF this expedition
are very much in hope that Mr.. Willis VIII bring
the measure forward in the early part OF next week,
# not before.
