In the May number of the North Ameri
can Review Mrs. Rebecca Harding I > avj |
imbll hed an article entitled "The Purse
In Education. " In which the criticise 1
* harply the methods In vogue In our public
frchools and pointed out some ot the unde
sirable results of our educational system.
In the July number of the Review Mrs.
Schuyler Van Rensxelaer takes up the argu
ment , contending that the "curse" com
plained of , If curpe there be , is vastly
outweighed by the Innumerable blessings
which our free schools confer uport the
people and showing , by special reference to
the reforms and Improvements which have
Viecn effected In the educational arrange
ments of New York City that the defects In
our system are rapidly .being . removed. Mrs.
Van Reiipselacr emphasizes the value of
manual training :
"To train the hand means to train the
rowers of the eye and to trlng the mus
cular and nervous system Into working ac
cord. Some kinds of manual training give
the whole bady useful exercise. All kinds
rest the brain and relieve the body after
purely Intellectual work , while cultivating
them In another fashion and developing the
creative Instinct. And they teach directness
of purpose , concentration of effort , accu
racy of obsrrvatlon nnd also mental and
moral precision and honesty. The teacher ,
end even the pupil himeeif , may think that
a book lesson him been learned when It has
not been , or that an Idea has been mas
tered -when It has been only half grasped
or wholly misunderstood. But this cannot
happen with manual work. A tangible
thing Is done , and rightly done , or it IK not.
A stitched seam is straight , a leaf Is cor
rectly drawn , a carpenter's Joint Is true , or
It Is not. Neither deception nor self-dc-
ceptlon Is possible In the workshop , and
the spirit of accuracy , system , conscientious
ness , self-reliance and helpful co-operation
J that It develops IB carried over Into the
other classroomfl. iMorcover , the workshop
may cultivate laste a * well as skill. and
although It docs not teach trades it cele
brates the dignity of manual labor aa
often develops individual likings and aptl
tildes for It. The same Is the case with
the lessons In domestic science given to
Kirlf. They are not taught to be "pro
fessed" cooks or dressmakers. But their
fingers , eyes and palates are trained ; the
Importance of cleanliness , neatness , order
and exactness Is Impressed uprm them : re
spect for household work nnd interest in It
nre awakened , and these great benefits are
augmented by such Instruction in hygienic
And alimentary laws as could hardly be
made to seem practical and Important with
out the help of the cooking stove. "
I'nlno Method * of Tonclilmr-
"It we consider the matter frankly we
* .hall . find that the study of our literature
Is In n state quite as unsatisfactory as
that of our language. " says Mark H. Lid-
dell In the July Atlantic. "For our notions
of English literature are conditioned at
every turn by that mixture of opinion and
prejudice which we call 'taste. ' English
criticism has continued to reflect itwith
varying moods ot petulance and arrogancy
from Shakespeare's day to ours. The
formal teaching ot English literature , which
Is ot comparatively recent date , has taken
Its cue from criticism. When the Inde
pendent teatber has attempted to escape
the critic's tyranny It has been by flight
Into the. bypaths of history land philology
rather than by open revolt. At Its best ,
therefore , our teaching of literature Is im
perfect , resting now on the study of bi
ography , now on the study of history , now
on the study of sources , now on the study
of foreign Influences , now on the study
ot style , now on the study of a metaphys
ical aesthetic turned wordward always on
* ome partial aspect of the subject. At its
worst , it Is unworthy the name of teach
ing , belnp merely a generous dole of opin
'
ions' gathered from various books of critical
essays and salted with the teacher's own
prejudices , or larded with that transcen
dental vaporing to which students have not
unaptly given the name of 'drool. '
"Our teaching Is thus , entirely Inadequate.
L\ clear idea of the part literature has been
playing in the lives of the English-thinking
people is not to be found in It. This Is
equally nttle. in the way of a concrete
statement of what literature is. Some of the
niobt fundamental distinctions , such as that
of the difference between poetry and prose
nre left unexplained. The student who has
enjoyed the benefit of suih training Ss not
much better off than he who has had to ge :
his understanding of literature by dint and
rtress of Journalism. Indeed , the self-made
scholar In literature is really better , for he
will read more of literature Itself and his
thinking ? upon It wllr be more original. The
fystem has already been much criticised
on the ground that It is not teaching , bu
rncro talk. It holds its own only because
it Is thought to be a means of culture , cul
ture being here synonymous with literary
fmotlon. But It Is no more a means of rca
culture than running through Europe with

This was the end of the case for the
bondsmen and in the afternoon Attorney
General Symth called Governor Holcomb in
rebuttal. The purpose of his testimony waste
to show that Bartley was not fehort in his
accounts at the 'beginning ' of his second
term. The governor testified that at the
beginning of his second term Bartley ac
counted to him for about $950,000 , which
was the entire amount with which he was
charsable. Of this amount $500,000 was in
depository .banks and the balance was In cash

Amen Cnnc He fore Baxter.
The preliminary hearing of Wolff Zacharla
and Phillip Nathan , charged with starting
the fire that occurred in their Farnam
street furniture establishment last Decem
ber , was resumed before Judge Baxter
Wednesday afternoon. The evidence was
very similar to that of the firemen who
were on the stand during the first day.
L. B. Williams testified to the condition
cif the building ; as he found it on the fol
lowing morning , and M. M. Hamblen , an
Insurance adjuster , testified to substantially
similar facts. The only Interesting fea
ture of the proceedings was a prolonged
tilt between the attorneys as to the admlts-
slbillty of testimony bearing on the amount
to which the stock had been damaged by
the fire.
Suit Over nil Old Judgment.
Some months ago the American National
bank secured a judgment against Morris
Steinberg and others for $517.09 on which an
execution was returned unsatisfied. Since
then Steinberg has established himself In
the junk business and , according to the view
of his Judgment creditor , he has accumulated
some money. The bank has now filed in
junction proceedings to restrain Steinberg
frota transferring his property and to pre
vent the Merchants National and Nebraska
National banks from paying out the deposits
that Steinberg is alleged to have made.
After th Water Company.
Fred Suter has added one more damage
suit to those that have accumulated against
the Omaha Water Works company on ar-
oount of the Patterson block fire. Suter was
one of those who were severely Injured. He
was badly burned on the hands and face , and
he now asserts that he Is permanently dis
figured and that bis lungs were Injured by
inhaling the smoke and flame through which
be was compelled to pass to reach the street.
He fixes his damages at $25.000.

A Jury of fix men listened to the evidence
bearing upon the death of John DeMolins
yesterday in Coroner Swanson't undcr-
aklng rooms while Charles Moore sat near
with manacles on his hands listening to the
cstlmony which was tightening the cells
around him as the murder ot his former
friend.
Before the hour for the Inquest to begin
the rooms were fitted with witnesses nnd
spectators. Moore was represented by ex-
Bounty Attorney H. H. Baldrlge and Wll-
lam Cowan. Deputy County Attorney El
mer Thomas conducted the Inquiry for the
state.
The Jury consisted of T. F. Lyon , Z.
Stevens , J. T. H. Woods , Charles Johnson ,
Charles J. Westcrdahl and E. C. Crane.
They viewed the remains of the deceased In

face.Dr.
Dr. Henry B. Wilson , the first witness ,
said he had been requested by Coroner
Swanson to perform an autopsy on the re
mains. He was called to the Clarkson hos
pital Monday night to sec DcMollns. He
Found the injured man In a stupor and ap
parently Buffering from paralysis. There was
fracture at the base of the skull and his
brain was lacerated. Nothing coufd have
been done , no operation could have been
performed that would have saved his life.
When the autopsy was performed by him
and Dr. Summers he said they found a frac
ture flvo Inches long from the right eye
across to the left eye and back towards the
left ear. There were smaller fractures
radiating from the main one. The fracture In
bis estimation was caused by concussion.
He thought the head struck back of the left
ear. He found six small clots formed by
ruptures of blood veins.
Dr. Wilson said there was some discolora-
lon about the lips and in the vicinity of the
occipital portion of the head. The left eye
was discolored , but this may have been
caused by the post mortem examination.
There was a slight abrasion under the chin.
This abrasion , he eaid , was where the knock
out blow is usually administered by pugi
lists. He stated that it has produced death
in a number of cases , and in 25 per cent of
those coming under his observation had pro
duced unconsciousness.
Dr. Wllscn eald the fracture of the skull
and resulting hemorrhages inwardly had
caused death. These followed the two blows
which he believed had l > een struck with a
! ist or a blunt instrument. He thought from
the marks that a bare hand had been used.
Mr. Baldrlge asked permission to cross-
examlne the witness. His questions were
directed towards obtaining an onlnlon from
the witness concerning the blows. Dr. Wil
son said the discoloration of the lips might
have been caused by the blow under the
chin. The skull of the deceased was over
one-eighth of an Inch thick , or much thicker
than that of the average man. The witnecs
said death had probably occurred as the re
sult of a blow and the subsequent fall upon
the pavement.
Dr. James M. Borglum , 533 South Twenty-
second street , arrived in front of the Turf
Exchange saloon after DeMolins had been
struck and the men were moving swiftly Into
the saloon. Ho Bald he saw the body roll
Into the gutter. DeMollns was moved back
towards a store building. The witness ob
served blood oozing out of the left side of
the head. The breathing of the man indi
cated an apoplectic injury.
The witness said several people around
there stated that Moore had struck the
injured man. He did not know them. He
thought the man had struck the curb in
falling and had rolled into the gutter.
Assistant City Physician John B. Ralph
testified that he had seen DeMolins in the
operating room of the Jail between 7 and S
o'clock. He found a contusion of the chin
and upper lip. There was a third con
tusion over the left ear and considerable
swelling.
Dr. Ralph administered cold Ice bags to
the injured man's hsad. He found the pulee
very'weak and gave some strychnine to In
crease it. He believed the case hopeless ,
but sent DeMolins to the Clarkson hospital
after perhaps forty minutes' detention at
the city Jail.
Dr. Ralph said on cross-examination that
he could not recall ever having seen or
heard of such a fracture of the skull as that
of DeMolins' from a blow of the fist.
Stntciuent of OOlcrr Pcrvon.
Officer Nels E. Person. 1613 Dorcas street ,
said he arrived on the scene perhaps a
minute and a half after DeMolins bad been
struck. His attention was called to the
trouble by some men running across the
street at Thirteenth and Douglas. He went
to the place , where he found DeMolins
lying with bis head on the rough stones
In the gutter , his head being near the
asphalt pavement. A spot of blood was
noticeable perhaps two feet away.
Officer Person said be carrle } the body
over to the building and ran into the Turf
saloon to call the wagon. He stopped In
front , where a loose 'phone stood on a show
case , and turned It toward him. The bar
tender came up and snatched It away from
him , accompanying the movement with the
remark :
"That IB a private telephone and you
cannot use it. 1 don't want the wagon
backed up In front of this place. '
The officer paid rather than argue the
matter he went to the American District
Telegraph office and summoned the patrol.
L. E. Overton , a bartender , living at the
State hotel , said "he was reading a paper
out in front of the hotel when he saw
Charles Moore and two friends coming down
the street. They did not appear drunk.
They were not making any noise nor did
they stagger. They passed the Turf Ex
change und then turned back and went in.
After a few minutes he noticed DeMolins
walk out followed by Moore. There was a
short scuffle , which be thought was good-
natured. Then they got to fighting. De-
Moling had his arms up trying to protect
himself. The witness saw Moore strike
three blows. One appeared to be a left hand
hook. He could not toll whether all three
blows landed. The last blow etruck appar
ently on the chin. The witness said De-
Moltns fell over backwards without any
effort to catch himself. His head struck
the asphalt and the noise made by his fall
could be heard elxty feet away where the
witness was sluing.
Mr. Overton bald he did not see the in
Jured man move after he fell. Moore turned
and walked rapidly toward the Turf Ex
change , -which he entered. He did not seem
In a hurry , as he moved at his natural gait.
On cross-examination Mr. Overton said it
seemed to him that DeMolins was trying to
get away alt the time , as be was backing off
and did not strike a blow.

F. M. Kutchner , a hackman living at 1217

and DeMollua a long time. The witness

off the sidewalk , his head ( striking on the
afphalt pavement , making a noise ilniltar
to that which would be canted by strik
ing a wooden block on the sidewalk. DC-
Moling' feet were on the walk.
The witness said DeMoltns made no
effort to strike Moore. The men did not
enter the saloon , but met DeMolins at the
door. DeMolins started up street and wan
te te topped by Moore's attack. The witness
did not Interrupt the assault of Moore be

be bad to hold them.
Frank O'Neil of Sioux City was sitting
u front of the State hotel the evening the
assault on DeMolins occurred. He saw
Moore strike DeMoHns or push him off the
walk. DeMolins went up in the air and came
down on his head on the asphalt pavement

ic lay there for a few minutes.

National Protective association. One of
them , which was referred , but which is
sure of adoption , protests "against the In
human practice of compelling men and
women to work seven days In succession ,
and calls upon American trade unions and
trade unionists to agitate upon and co
operate with us to secure legislative enact
ments providing for one day's rest In
seven. We protest against long hours ,
overtime and Sunday work and demand
that all shall have one' free day of rest in

For genuine novelty there has nothing
been offered to the amusement-loving public
of Omaha since vaudeville has existed here
as novel and entertaining as Harris &
Wall's motion pictures , which are being
shown at the Trocadero this week , not that
motion pictures themselves are any great
novelty , but it Is the way that Harris &
Wall show theirs that make them so in
teresting. After running them through the
machine properly they are reversed and put
through backwards and we are shown how
things would look If the world was to go
backwards awhile. The pictures are ex
ceptionally clear and include a sleighing
scene in Centraf park , New York , on a
Sunday afternoon , when thousands of cut
ters are out. AH exciting run of the New
York fire department and their work at the
fire , a cross-country hurdle race or steeple
chase and many others equally as interest
ing. The Chicago Ladies' quartette pleases
lovers of music immensely and others
equally as well , because they render popu
lar as well as classical airs. Zazelle and
Vernon , representatives in the line of pan
tomimic bar work ; Josephine Harvey , a
woman slide trombone soloist , as clever as
they are made , as well as three other acts
equally as interesting , make up a bill that

The republican judicial convention to
nominate seven Judges of the district court
pf the Fourth district will be held in Omaha
on the afternoon of Saturday. July SI. The
county convention to select the 182 delegates
from Douglas Bounty will be held on the
forenoon of the same day. The primaries
will occur Friday , July 31. It Is generally
understood that the representation of Doug-
ros county in the Judicial convention will
consist of ten delegates from each ward in
Omaha , sixteen from South Omaha and two
from each of the thirteen country precincts.
The remainder of the district consists of
Washington , Hurt and Sarpy counties.
As It Is conceded that the complexion of
the county convention will rule In the selec
tion of delegates to the Judicial convention
the primaries will be the flcld In which the
aspirations of the candidates for Judicial
honors will be subjects of contest. The gen
eral understanding that Judge Scott Is out
of It as a republican candidate on account of
bis change of politics , leaves one undisputed
vacancy on the ticket , and for this there are
a number of active candidates. The remain
ing six Judges are candidates for renomina-
tlon , but there are various schemes on foot
to sidetrack some of them In order to make
room for new aspirants. It Is In connec
tion with these pfans that the principal dif
ferences at the primaries will occur.
There Is no apparent possibility of a con
test In the First ward , where Lee Estelle
wall undoubtedly have a solid delegation.
Estelle Is confident that he will also have
the support of the Second ward , which has
no candidate of Its o\vn \ in the field.
The Third ward is scheduled to como Into
the convention for Judges Slabaugh and
Baker. Aside from three Its approval Is
fixed on no particular candidate. The Fourth
ward win probably Indorse County Judge
Baxter , "who is now a candidate for the
district bench. There Is some talk of a
contest , but It seems doubtful whether It
will be successful.
There Is a general understanding that 11.
TV. Richardson will have the harmonious
support of the Fifth ward delegation. A
resolution Indorsing his candidacy was unan
imously adopted by a meeting of the re
publicans of the ward and It Is doubtful
whether there will be any other candidate
to contest his right to the delegation.
Judge Fnwcett has a fight on his hands
In the Sixth ward and the oppostion has
settled on J. H. llacomber as its candidate.
An effort was made to induce W. A. Redlck
to make the fight , but Mr. Redlck declined
to enter the race.
There -will be two delegations in the field
in the Seventh ward , where there Is a four-
handed fight In which Judges Baker and
Powell are opposed by George B. Day and
A. S. Churchill. At the preliminary meet
ings the sentiment has seemed to be in
favor of giving Judges Baker and Powell a
eecond term and their friends assert that
they will elect their delegation by a decisive
majority.
Cndrt Tnylor in Sclicniliic nn I"mint.
In the Eighth ward there Is nn under
handed effort on the part of Cadet Taylor
and other members of the Brsatch gang to
down Judge Keysor and It Is probable that
this will materialize in a fight at the pri
maries. At first It was conceded that Judge
Keysor would have the delegation without
opposition , but since then the Taylor pym-
pathizers have been holding a series of
nfcret meetings at 'which plans have been
laid to put a contesting delegation in the
field. They spent some time in trying to in
duce Guy C. B. Reed to be a candidate , but
he persistently refused to mis in the mutter
and they have now pitched on L. D. Holme * ,
who has acted as attorney for the
Globe Loan and Trust company In
some of Its transactions. Several
meetings have been held rn the
quiet at which Taylor pulled the wires while
keeping his personality somewhat in the
background. The last session was held in a
room in the New York Life building : at
which A. J. Van Alystlne , Charley D.
Jureen , C. J. Westcrdahl , Nathanson , Edley
and various other members of the gang were
present.
The Ninth ward belongs to Slabaugh with
out question , and it is assumed that Dick
inson will be the nominee of his own county
by acclamation , and that he will also have
the solid support of Washington county.
Sarpy county is grooming a candidate , but
this is understood to be largely a compli
mentary movement that Is not likely to cut
a serious figure in the convention.

long letter to the government In reply lethe
the charges of Louis Hnvet , member of the
French Institute , \\ho accompanied Mme.
Dreyfus to Rennes , who alleges that Drey
fus was cruelly treated In his island prison.
The former minister says no one In 1R96
questioned the justice of the vurdlet of the
Dreyfus court-martial : that 1n September ,
1S9G , It was reported that an American ves
sel was about to rescue the prisoner nnd
there was some talk among the warders
as to the possibility of his escape. Hence
M. Lebon became solicitous for. the nafety of
the prisoner nnd ordered Dreyfus to be con
fined Jn his hut with double-locked doors ,
but with a sentinel Inside until the hut
was surrounded by a palisade , when the hut
might be opened. The building of the pal
isade occupied longer than was expected ,
but no harm to the health of the prisoner
was reported. M. Lebon denies tampering
with the correspondence of Dreyfus.

Changing Glasses ( Talk No , 30) )
Under the age of 45 it is not necessary
to change glasses very often. If they
are correctly fitted they can sometimes
be worn for twenty years or more. But
after that age the conditions are
different. Changes are taking place
in the eye and the glasses must be
changed frequently. From this time on
i glasses for reading and sewing should
never be worn longer than two years.
Sometimes they ought to be changed
oftener. Failure to make these changes
and attempting to make the old glasses
do , is often the cause of being com
pelled to change every few months in
Inter years. It is not necessary , how
ever , to buy an entire new set of specta
cles each time. A change of lenses is
all that is required ,
