TlioIgorous insertion of a lady who ,
living In New Haven , Conn. , spoke ex
cathedra that she would ralher rend her
boy to hell than to Yale college , has fomented
n lively dlecuslon of the morality of college
life. It might better have created discussion
cf the menial responsibility of historical ami
"hprp-tongued women , but that's neither hero
nor tlicie.
It la safe to assume , says the Chicago Times-
Hcrald , that vvhen 200 or 300 lusty youths
are gathered together even In the name of
learning thete will bo some gajety and
merriment not wholly Innocent. Some , doubt
less , will bo virtuous , but for the many there
will bo cakes and ale galore. The lady who
thought as meanly of Yale college as "Uob"
Ingersoll Is said to have thought of Texas
confines her Indictment of collegiate > outh
to the high crime of smoking In public. It
Ib not iccorded that In that Infernal settle
ment to which , In preference to Yale college ,
she would consign her son the denizens smoke
In private. A gentleman named Dante , who
claimed to have been thither and wrote a
book about It , describes them fuming away In
all promiscuity. Doubtless there were other
nnd more rJprehenslve offenses than the pub
lic use of the weed which Impelled the super-
eloquent lady to denounce the Yale boys as
imps of atan , but she enumerated none. She
might , however , consider whether they are
practiced by college boys to any greater ex
tent than by youngster ? cf the rame age with
equal sums of money at their disposal and en
gaged In commercial life.
Two superstitions about collegiate educa
tion have largely disappeared. One , for which
Horace Oreeley was chiefly responsible , wj'i
that the college graduate wns absolutely In
competent for any work. It was a sort of
poetic rctilbutlon for Grceley when he wns
forced to surrender control of his paper to
one of these1 "horned cattle from the col
leges. " The other time-honored fiction was
that with a college education a lad's success
In the world was absolutely assured. Theie
are too many valedictorians and renlor
wranglers holding slender clerkships on the
narrow line between genteel poverty and
squalid penury to give this theory longer
validity.
Nevertheless , college Is not worse * than
hades. At the worst It need only be com
pared to purgatory , for youth may be at uny
time snatched thence and restored to an nt-
mosphcre of sweetness and light. Besides
the mere fact that men with a seamy pwl
can at any time buy absolution of their sins
and bs hailed as noble workers In the Lord's
vineyard by making a lavish gift of money
to a college particularly a denominational
one shows that these Institutions , Instead
of comparing unfavorably with slieol , nro , In
fnct. abodes of the highest virtue and the
moRt exalted rellg.ous zeal.
Mate Sclioolw.
The total amount of money disbursed
through the educational department of New
York state during the past , year was 14,403-
73C. This Is one-third of the total amount
of s'ate disbursements , exclusive of the capl-
tel appropriations and trie amount paid on
the state debt. A compilation of the business
and statistics of the department since Super-
IntendtntCharles R. Skinner took posses
sion last April , the features of which will
appear in the forthcoming report to the
legislature , says til ? New York Sun , shows
that there are 20,000 licensed teachers In
th" state of New York and 12,000 school dls-
trlctp. In ceth of which there are from one
to nlno trus'ees , together with other district
cn l < ; ers ; also , 114 school commissioners ,
thirty-four city superintendents , and thirty-
two village superintendents. The correspond
ence of the department with these various
officials is voluminous , more than 12,000 let
ters having been received and answered ,
while 5.GS5 different pieces of express mat
ter have been received and dispatched at
the department. In the examination depart
ment alone 2GO.OOO papers have been recelvsd
from applicants for teachers' licenses , each
of which was examined , marked , and the
result tabulated. In addition to this there
are seventy-seven teachers' training classes
In the various academies and High schools
of the state , each one of which Is inspected
by th ? department at least onca in six wesks.
There are 110 teachers' Institutes held In
the state , at etch of which the department
was represented. The department exercises
general oversight over eleven normal schools , .
It holds examinations in every assembly
district of the state for admission to Corn -
n ° H university and annual examinations In
all the cities of the state for teachers' certifi
cates. The enforcement of the compulsory
e.liica'lon law Is also Imposed upon this de
partment. The legislature has ordered a
system of visual Ins'rucllon applicable to
every city and village school employing a
superintendent , which Is also placed under
the control of this department , and directed
f. biennial school census to be taken In Oc-
tobsr of this year , and every second year
thereat er , under the bupervlslon of the super
intendent.
I'roslilpnt AmlriMiH'
Ideal.
This Is the Ideal of a system of public edu
cation which President Andrews of Drown
university would like to see built up In the
United States : "Bettor co ordination of
gradfs lu needed ; abolition of politics In school
boards , abler Biiporlntendency In smaller
schools and a higher standard of teaching
talent. We nil wish our children tote
to upright , sweet In temper , reverent , patri
otic , rcspecirm , nrm in purpose. TO tnis end
of perfecting chnractjr wo should Insist not
only upon merely moral teachers , but upon
men and women of eminent and positive vir
tue. The point to Insist upon Is that the
schools ohould bo made the most perfect pltce
of moral engineering that can possibly bo cre
ated. Outsldo the school house everything
should bo In keeping with the splendid In-
erlor. Lastly , a lunch , frugal , hygienic and
elegant , should be served for all pupils each
lay .at the public expense. "
It la Interesting to note that the idea of
giving school children lunches at the public
ixpense Is approved by this economist , who
ias no sympathy with wlmt usually passes
or socialism , One- who Ktops to think of the
educational Influences which center In the
able Is compelled to admit that a system of
education which doca nothing to Impress Ha
refinements upon the children of all clan ? s
a deficient. Another Mca , too , appears to bo
growing that education Is primarily 'moral ,
] f ttudylng books there Is no end In the
> ubllc schools ; of studying character In the
ifrwiu of teachers themselves and of men
ind women esteemed by the whole world
hero has been too little , but there will ba
more.

The announcement that the faculty at Yale
mve decided upon a course of modern novels
s a part of the curriculum seems to have
tlrred up ssveral educators considerably ,
There Is a manifest purpose on the part of
crno other educational Institutions to follow
'ale's example and the opinions expressed by
he more prominent college men are generally
avorable to the plan. Some recent Inter-
lews with the Chlcigo educators , says the
tecord , show a similar Inclination here , al-
hough one of tlio professors In a Chlcigs

Ills opinion Is worth considering , not for Itt -

f a certain group of educators who fear

may be a question whether the novel should

In sections of western Kansas there arc so
few Inhabitants tint the schools are run nt
a great disadvantage on account of the scarc
ity of pupils. In Meade county the lack of
bchool children has given rls-o to some pe
culiar and unprecedented conditions. In som ?
Instances teachers draw salaries for simply
Instructing the children of their own families.
A case In point Is that of school district No
36 , Meade county. A very winsome young
Indy holds forth In the little" prairie school
house with but one pupil. A visitor asked
the young lady where the rest of her scholars
were. "They or ? all here ! " she smilingly re
plied , with a wave of her hand toward the
solitary pupil. Further Inqulby'developed the
fact that this pupil was the brother of the
teacher , that she wab' the daughter of a
member of the school board'and that sh ? re-
co-vpil n snlnrv of J20 a month for a term nf
lx months to teach her own 'brother ' , the only
child of g-chool age in the district/
School district No. 20 , In Meado"county , fur
nishes another example of western thrift.
There are only sx school children' In the dis
trict , and each of the two members of the
board Is the happy father oj .three . of them.
One of the directors furnishes ,1 room In his
house for school purposes and Is hired a ?
tEacfler at $30 a month forji Xbrm of six
months to teach these sfx , "children. His
school duties do not prevent him from looking
after a big herd of live stock. The people of
Meade county are not there for thIr he'alth
exclusively. _
I'liHsliin of Money Gcttlnpr.
Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst , D.T ) . , In writing
of "Tho Passion of Money-Making , " In De
cember Ladles' Homo Journal , says , con
cerning the prevalent Idea regarding the
valu ? of an education to boys : "We are con
sidering1 the effect which Is going to bo had
upon the boy by being led to feel that the
value of lils training , whether It be obtained
In a business college or In any other kind of a
college. Is determinate by the amount in
cash , stocks and securities In which It may
be expected ultimately to eventuate. That ir
an Indirect but none the less effective for
being Indirect way of telling the boy that
money Is so franscendantly great a thing that
the only value that anything tire can have is
Its efllclency In contributing to that end. It I"
an indirect way of telling htm that the onlj
value of an Idea , the only value of a mental
energy , the only value of a disciplined brain ,
In fact , la Its cash valu3 ; which amounts
substantially to lining Intelligence and put
ting It upon the market In mercantile compe
tition with wheat , leather and railroad sleek
Of course there Is no such intention as this on
the part of parents when thsy hurry their
sons Into the store or the banking houro oren
on to the exchange , but the effect JuK stated
comes , Is bound to come , and Is damning In
Its consequence. "

singing about grandma's Siouse , and ending
with "Hurrah for the pumpkin pie , " each

AAIUSEMENTS. *
If the fragrance of the delicious
honeysuckle had pervaded the Crclghton bit
night It would have required a very slight
stretch of the Imagination , considering the
other suggestive features of "Down In
Dixie , " to convince those present that they
were In the midst of nn o1d-fa < < hloned
Mississippi plantation , with Its splendid
landscapes , balmy atmosphere , delightful
flora , and hero and there In careless array
relics of the ancient greatness of the coun
try where "old master" owned a hundred
"niggers" and was monarch of a thousand
acres. Uut the other characteristically
southern features of the clever melodrama
are so pronounced , the pathos and humor
so delightfully blended , that two houses
yesterday afternoon and last night were
satisfied with the entertaining production
"Down In Dixie" docs not present as much
noble sentiment ns "Alabama , " nor In any
way furnlKh as correct an Interpretation of
southern life , but the situations arc natural ,
the clnractcrs evenly balanced , the side
lights sparkling'with mirth and the entire
combination of a tone calculated to please
the average person.
Scott Marble , the pla > wright whose versa
tility gave form to "Down In Dixie , " Is nn
adept at sketching southern characters and
from the plotting villain to the Innocent
girl , from the quaint creation of the southern
judge to the aged colored couple w ho glory In
their befo' do wall recollections , the lines cf
the story are beiutlfully arranged. Miss Nina
Heywnrd as Georgia Halo fills the role nf
the southern girl of lowly parentage whoso
heart and hand arc sought by the son of a
proud family. Thc refiiRal of the haughty
parents to consider the subject of their son's
choice ami Hie trials of the lovers are some
of the Incidents around which cluster n num
ber of very good things. Miss Hejwnrd
found much favor and her natural manner
nnd pretty face contributed largely to the
attractive features. The Florida quartet ,
the nll-Arncrlcan pickaninny band , the Carolina
lina banjo and mandolin club and the midget
whistling wonder are specialties of consider
able merit. The iMay Is elaborately staged
and the cotton press In operation Is ex
ceedingly realistic.
The repertory for the Uostonlans , In
cluding as it does "Hobln Hood , " "Prince
Ananias , " and "A War Time Welding , "
offers a varied entjrtnlnment to all lovers
of music. Much Interest is aroused over
the appearance of Jessie Dartlett Davis , as
Teresa. Sh ? Is said to eclipse all other
efforts and rise to tragic powers that stamp
her most versatile. Helen Bertram Henley
Is also said to liavo In the role of
Maranenta , the heroine , most brilliant pass
ages and In the finale her codsnzos , reaching
high C , arc described as wonderfully drama
tic. Messrs. McDonald , Qowles , Krothlng-
hain , Jos.phlno Hartlett nnd Henry Clay
uarnaoee , in the role of Kzrn Stebblns , In-
Toduclng lib song , "A Cork Leg , " are fea
tures of "A War Tlmo Wedding. " The en
gagement opens tonight at Lloyd's theater ,
closing Thursday night. The sal ? of sjats
opened Saturday morning and the demand
was large , It Is advisable for those who
Intend witnessing any of the performances
of the Dostonlans to procure their scats
early. At the window nf Uoyd's. theater
box. ofllce there wns an unbroken line from
9 o'clock Saturday morning until 2:45 : In
tli3 afternoon.
One of the features of the entertainment
given by Fanny Hlce and her company ns
Nancy In "At the French Hall" Is the
richness and beauty of the costumes worn ,
not only by th. comedienne herself , but the
other ladies ns well. The -engagement will
commence at the Crelghton Thursday , Decem
ber C , b = ing for three nights. Prominent
among the leading members of MiM Itlcc's
company will b ? found Mr. W. H Fitzgerald ,
late cf Robin HooJ company ; Allco Vlncont ,
late of Carleton Opera company ; Mr. Herman
of the Carleton Opera company ; Mr , Herman
Thrent , late of Carleton Opera company ;
Mr. John J. Conley , late of Donnelly & Glrard
ccmpany ; Mr. Edward Trau'man. late of
Nellie McIIenry company ; Mr. Frank E.
Norse , late of Casino company , and Miss
Grace F. Wolvln , W. II. Frlllrnan , late of
Old Homestead company ; Master Willie Meek ,
the wonderful boy soprano of Grace church ,
New York City.
An eminent authority on theatrical matters
he said : "Among all the > American
actresses this generation has produced , few-
have touched human sympathies so gently , so
surely nnd so effectively as Klllo Mllbler. "
Play patrons have received sulllcient evidence
of the truth of the above atsertlon in the
iecollection of her engagements In this city.
On the occasion of her appearance at Bojd's
theater on the two last dajs of the present
week Miss Ellsler will be seen In Slmkes-
peiro's comedy , "As You Like It , " In his
great Jove tragedy , "Romeo and Juliet , " and
in Alexander Dumas' "La Darno aux
Carnellas. " Mr. Frank Wcston and Mr. John
A. Kllslcr are prominent members of the
supporting company , which numbers about
twenty carefully selected Shakespearean
players. The costuming and setting will
be extremely beautiful.
Comedian Eddie Fey , who will be scn at
Boyd's for three nights , commencing Sunday ,
December S , In his successful burlettu , "Lll-
tlc Robinson Crusoe , " from the pen of Harry
I ) . Smith , has assumed full management of
the enterprise and will now be knonn as a
manager , as well as an actor. The cast re
mains the same as when the burlesque was
seen In Chlcigo during Its long run nt the
Schiller. Henry Norman , one of the greatest
favorites In the western country , has been
cast to play Tuffcmiff , the pirate , and Ills
work and Foy's during the action of the
piece IK said to be the cleverest ever seen In
burlesque , according to thu critics of Chicago ,
St. Louis and other tonne. Mr. Fov has
never been given a part by any 'librettist
the equal of Dare * Devil Willie , which char
acter he now assumes. James R. Sullivan ,
who plays the part of HocksUIn , Is favor
ably kno.vn through his connection with
"Ship Ahoy , " and his excellent peiformance
of the Commodore. He is also stage director
of the orginlatlon. Tlio others of the cast
are Miss Adele Farrlngton , a handsome
> oung woman , who pluys the part of Robin
son Crti.oc ; Estha Williams , Alone Crater ,
late of the Henderson forcer ; Mile , Morando ,
Adele Verclllesl , Dot Carter , Robert Cairoll ,
Slg. Do Fllllpl , Henry Carter and rn.tiiy
others. Ono of the features of the entertain
ment Is the excellent specialty In th ? last act
by those exceedingly clever pantomlinlst ,
Mile , Vcrcillesl and Slg. Do Fllllpl.
Among the many prominent attractions
playing at the Crelghton In the near future
may be mentioned Frank Mayo In the suc
cessful dj-amatlzatlon of Mark Tunln'y great
novel "Pudd'n Head Wilton "
, ; a return en
gagement of "Trilby , " which has been one of
the great "hits" of the decade ; Haitian's

The man was rich In many \\njs and
dined from gold platts , but his blood was
poor and his food useless to him Money
could not Rive ( ho healthy apr > cttte , the
vigorous digestion , which alone ctve happi
ness and ward off disease.
No one can remain well , no chronic dis
ease can be cured while the digestive organs
are diseased.
This Is plain , because every organ In the
boiiy depends on the stomach for Its nour
ishment. Nerve , bone , sinew blood are mmlo
from the food which our stomach tonverii
to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this ,
that and the other remedy and neglect tliu
most Important of alt , the stomach.
The earliest fcymptoms of Indigestion are
sour risings , bad taste In the mouth , gas lu
stomach and bowels , palpitation , all gone
feeling , falntness , headaches , coiiftlpitlon ;
later comes losa of tlesh , consumption , liver
and heart troubles , kidney diseases , nervous
prostration , all nf which are the Indirect re
sult of poor nutrition.
Any person sulTerlng from Indigestion
should make It a practice to take after wich
meal one of Stuart's Djspppjlu Tablets , al
lowing It to dissolve In the mouth and thu ?
mingle with the saliva and enter the stomach
In the most natural way. These tablets
are highly recommended by Dr. Jennlson be
cause they are composed of the natural di
gestive acids and fruit essences which as
sist the stomach In digesting- wholesome
food before It has tlmo to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets arc sold by
druggists , full sized packages at GO cents.
They are also excellent for Invalids nnd
