school pupils oay cute- any lime,
select such work as they esire, ana
pursue their studies as rapidly as
their ability will permit. In any reg
nlar couse we permit such substitu
tions as will enable one to make a
specialt y of any line of work desired.
TUITION in the regular De—
partraeiits is Si.oo per week, payable
for a term in advance; in the Special
Courses it depend upon the work ta
ken. No tuitionwill be refunded, but j
for a continued illness of more than j
two weeks.a due bill will be issued for i
the time lost, good for any future
time.
DIPLOMAS. To any one
completing any of the courses above
mentioned, a dip|oma will be issued
indicating the workd one.
HOW THE SCHOOL IS
GOVERNED-
This is not a reform school; ther
efore we have no set rules.
We desirethe attendance of ladies
and gentlemen, and we expect to treat
them as such. We are willing to ad
vertise in regard to the conduct of
students’ and the privilege of asking
tlio wnhdrawel of any one who does
not conform to the usual deportment
of a lady or gentlemen.
EXPENSES. It is an object of the
school to impress practical economy in
every department. Good board can be
had fre m sl.Eo to #2.00 per week and
room rent from 50c to 75e per week,
thus making the entire cost with tu
lion $3.0(1 per week. To meet these
low rates it is absolutely necessary
that all bills be paid a term in udvun
ce. We will refund money paid for
board or room rent, but charge lOcper
week additional for thetime, if less
than one term. Text-books may be
rented from the text-hook library at
10 per centof the retail, thus saving a
great ileal in the expenses of books.

Longest Street Car T-I.uo.
What will bo for a time at least the
longest street car route iu the United
Stqtos.is under process of construction
in Ohio. It is an electric road which
will utilize tho ordinary publio high
ways from Cleveland to Cincinnati,
thus bisecting tho state. The lino
will be £G3 miles long. Its object is
to get tho way passenger and freight
traffio between villages through which
it passes. Many of tfccse have not
at present railroad facilities of any
kind. It will also pass by farms, en
abling the agriculturist to stop tho cars
at his own door and loud upon them his
grain and live stock, conveying it thus
to market.
Tho lino will pass through 14 coun
ties on the route from Cleveland to Cin
cinnati. Tho projectors expect to do a
great business in conveying excursion
parties, and in this they will not bo dis
appointed. Special excursion cars of the
double deck or two Gory pattern aro
provided, fitted with snicking rooms and
accommodations similar to a parlor car
on long distanco trains. There will be
special freight cars and trains. The mo
tor attached to each car will be small,
of merely 23 horsepower, but it will be
sufficient, and the cars will run nt Very
short intervals. They will be operated
on tho trolley plan and will make an
average speed of 05 miles an hour.
Tho possibilities open to a road like
this aro hardly to be estimated. It will
connect directly with large business
centers sparsely settled districts that
will wake as from a Rip Van Winkle
sleep. It will scatter population from
the largest cities and populate suburban
country districts. Tho small expense at
which such a line can bo operated will
enable it to charge low rates. That of
itself will be a boon. For summer tour
ists there could not be invented a pleas
anter mode of travel than this, doing
away as it does with steam, smoke and
oinders and cinch dust. Tho only won
der is that nobody thought of such a
long distance street car lino before.
It is satisfactory to know that our
trade relations with Canada are on the
whole satisfactory, in spite of the at
tempt of editors cn both sides of the
line to stir up hard feeling, heaven
knows why. Canada had last year a
much heavier trade with us than with
Great Britain. It is well to bear in
mind in connection with this that Can
ada has given to the United States bet
ter reciprocal trade arrangements than
she has to Great Britain itself. Duties
on British goods imported into Canada
are 4 per cent higher than on American
goods entering the Dominion.
Spain still whines that filibustering
expeditious continue to leave United
States ports for Cuba. Well, why da
not Spanish cruisers stop them from
landing in Cuba then? With a half do
cent navy and half decent v.jilanca
Spain would keep the Cuban coast sa
guarded that no little schooner could
run in nnd unload. Tho United States
has the whole coast from the bay o!
Bundy down to the Mexican border to
guard. Spain lias only the lino drawn
around the shores of an island not as
large as cn average state of the Union.
What is Spain herself about?
It is of first importance that the
Alaskan Indians should in all ways ba
conciliated and treated fairly by miners
and others in their country. If their
good will is gained, they will be of
grt at help to white people developing
tho country. The Indians themselves do
not care for the gold, or they would
have had much cf it long ago, but if
they should become irritated against us
by being cheated or ill treated by those
who do yvant tho gold it is in their
power to make things extremely un
pleasant for us.
Booker T. Washington, principal of
the Normal and Industrial institute for
the education of colored students at
Tuskegee, Ala., announces that £SO sent
to him will pay for the schooling of a
young man or woman for one year.
When tho student receives sufficient ed
ucation, ho or she will bo sent to tho
counties in Alabama in which the great
est number of illiterate colored children
are and will establish schools among
therm. Here is opportunity to do much
good for the comparatively small sum
of £SO.
The recent opening cf valuable mines
in the west and northwest will give a
stimulus to industrial enterprises gener
ally in the country and relieve the gorge
of money in the older cities. Profitable
investments will be found in mining
and manufacturing throughout the
Rocky mountain region. These will
draw from tho cast millions of dollars,
which will be applied for mutual ad
vantage to the investors and to the
thrifty and industrious western workers
who use it.
Crossed or tangled electric wires are
responsible for much damage by fire re
cently. It was this that caused the Col
iseum blaze in Chicago. Those who per
mit ignorant workmen either to con
struct nr stretch such wires or to have
charge of them after they are made and
stretched are guilty of nothing less than
a erijne.

The progressive ladies of West
field, Ind. issued a “Woman’s Edi
tion” of the Westfield News, bearing
date of April 3, 1890. The paper is
filled with matter of interest to wo
men, and we notice the following from
a correspondent, which the ediors
printed, realizing that it treats upon
a matter of vital importance to their
sex; “The best remedy for croup,
colds and bronchisis that I have been
able to find is Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy- For family use it has no e
qual. I gladly recommend it,” 25cts
| and fiOets bottles for sile by R. T
THOMPSON, Homer, C.a,
Wo Chang's Book.
A queer volume, containing much of
both satire and humor, is that written
by a Chinaman and published in Eng
lish indor the title of “England Seen
Through Chinese Spectacles.” Tho au
thor, Wo Chang, remarks politely that
since for many years Chinamen have ac
cepted English criticisms on their social
life good uaturedly he takes it for grant
ed the British mind will receive in tho
same spirit his strictures on society and
customs in her majesty's realm. Then
he proceeds to give the British such a
dressing down as will make them think
a Chinaman is not such a fool as they
took him for.
Wo Chang says tho British bestow
more cure by far on purity of breeding
in their horses, dogs and barnyard fowls
than in their own families, which is
quito true for that matter, and as true
of Americans as of English. Iu China,
Wo Chang informs us, marriages are
arranged on scientific principles by par
ents and guardians. On each side tho
contracting families must give a guar
autee that they are free from crime or
j hereditary insanity or disease. In no
case are a young man and woman re
j lated to each other oven distantly nllow
!ed to marry, In Christian England
though, declares Wo Chang, the only
questions asked by parents are those con
nected with tho fortune and social posi
tion of tho family iu which their son or
daughter is about to enter.
Wo Chang says ho never visited any
country in which tho “great goddess of
appearances” was worshiped as she is
in England. He holds up the Christians
of tho United States also upon his little
pen point in tho following:
“Some years since I passed through
tho Christian city of San Francisco,
where 40,000 hardworking, sober and
quiet Chinamen have had a long experi
ence of the persecuting spirit of Chris
tians. They treat my countrymen like
dogs duriug the week, while on Sundays
praying for their conversion to Chris
tianity.”
Senator Lodge’s bill for tho purchase
by the United States of tho throe Dan
ish islands, St. Thomas, St. Cr
St. John, in the West Indies, should re
ceive immediate favorable considera
tion. Denmark likes us and would rather
sell them to us than to any other na
tion. She wants to soli them, for they
are of no use to her, and she needs mon
ey. They would bo of great use to us.
St. Croix, the largest island, is very fer
tile and produces fine crops of sugar,
while St. Thomas has a harbor unex
celled anywhere. We need several such
harbors in tho West Indies and have
none at all. Our commercial interests
demand we should become the owner of
the islands before any European power
gets them. Denmark informs us plainly
that two European nations aro at this
moment negotiating fur them. These
aro believed to bo England and Ger
many. It is plainly against the interests
1 of tho United States to let European
1 powers get even an island more on this
side of the world. Besides that, the in
habitants of the islands in question
want to be annexed to us.
Navigation from Seattle is open all
winter to Juneau and points along the
south Alaskan coast. By means of ice
breakers it may be possible in future
winters to keep open water to a point
much farther north. General Miles is of
opinion that even this winter the gov
ernment supply expedition for the Klon
dike should start in by way of tho
mouth of Copper river and proct cd di
rectly northward to Dawson. By th;i
route the expedition will travel uL
way except a few miles in unr own tc
ritory, which will be an advantage.
It is to be hopod our government will
be able to lease from Denmark a strip
of land along tho northwest coast of
Greenland on which to establish naval
and coaling stations. Such stations will
be a benefit not only to us, but to Den
mark itself and to all other nations that
send ships to the arctic waters in that
part of the world. With such stations
exploring operations whose end and aim
is the reaching of the north pole will b€
greatly facilitated.
Corbett nnd Sullivan each met his
Waterloo after declaring that he had re
tired permanently from the ring and
then entering it again for one more vic
tory. This has been the history of near
ly every champion prizefighter on the
list. However mighty he was, if he con
tinued in the ring after winning a great
fight, he found a man who was mightier.
Will Fitzsimmons repeat the chapter?
Of all systems of discipline, domestic,
educational or political, the spy system
is the worst. The spy is infinitely
meaner than the one spied on.
Sneak and snake are two words very
muck alike. They are derived from the
same root.
Tho saddest fact coma with I
a queen, priaoexa or -impress is that
such an unfortunate lady can never

The New Fad.
The late Prentice Mulforc! jahi hard
ly have expected that the philosophy he
£0 earnestly advocated in the White
Cross Library swrie3 won' l become in a
few years after Lis death a fad for the
winter's entertainment of fashionable
circles, yet such is pro\ :cg to bo the
case. Classes of society ladles, with a
sprinkling—a very faint sprinkling—of
men, meet on certain afternoons of the
week to think themselves into desired
habitual states of mind and ultimately
of body. If anything can induce those
whose lives are devoted to amusement to
think seriously on any subject whatso
ever, oven so often as onco a week, thero
will bo great gain.
The pervading idea of the Malford
philosophy was that mind, being superi
or to matter, should control matter,
which of itself is a thoroughly reason
able proposition. Next, i'f we persistent
ly and systematically train our con
scious minds to think in a given desired
direction, the subconscious mind in us
all, which pervades our whole body,
wherever there are nerves, will at length
take-up the train of our habitual con
scious thopght and impress it on o-a

It is enough to turn tho very hair
gray of that good man Commander
Booth-Tucker —the way his pets tho ex
convicts are turning out after all his
kindness in establishing homes for them
One of these homes has been in Contra
Costa county, Cal. Thera as soon as a
follotv in tho penitentiary for robbery
or assault or embezzlement had served
his time out ho was received within the
sheltering arms of tho beautiful Prison
Gats home and put in tho way of being
a good man. He was to cultivate tm
acre of ground all to himself and was
allowed tho proceeds thereof, be tho
same more or loss. Tho system was a
beautiful ono. Tho only trouble with it
was the human factor. Tho ex-convicts
seem to havo despised and treated with
scorn the plan to allow them to be
come good men. One who had been at
tho homo for a long time ad was
thought to be entirely regenerated, a
man “in whom was reposed great
trust, ’ ’ stole a horse, wagon and harness
and sol 1 thorn anil had to be recaptured
and returned to the penitentiary. An
other had just stepped out cf tho prison
gates and was on hi’ way to the home
By way of a final blast of iniquity be
fore reforming he stopped in Oakland
and robbed a houso and was caught, and
he, too, went back to the penitentiary
These things aro very discouraging to
those who wish to make had men good.
It is enough to draw tears from eyes
unused to weep...

STATUE OFiLIBERTY.
GIOVANNI TURINI HAS COMPLETED
ONE FOR VENEZUELA.
Will Slilne In Carncnn—Flxnre About For
ty Feet nigh Will Be Cast In Bronze.
I’eilestnt to Be Twenty Feet nigh—To
Be Illuminated by Electricity.
Giovanni Turini, a sculptor of New
York, recently completed a statue of
Liberty for tho government of Venezue
la which will be placed in the publio
square iu Caracas.
The statue was contracted for by the
Venezuelan government about a year
and a half ago, and ever since the sculp
tor has been putting into shape his ideas
of tho allegorical Miss Liberty. His
conception is somewhat different from
that of Bartholdi, whose creation en
lightens the world from her pedestal in
New York harbor. Bartholdi sculptured
the French ideal for North America,
and for South America the idea of an
Italian, a Miss Liberty draped with re
gard to a warmer climate, will form the
allegorical figure.
This new statue of Liberty is the re
sult of a suggestion made to the Vene
zuelan government by President Crespo,
who will retire from offico in January.
The government was favorably impress
ed with the suggestion and at once
communicated with Mr. Turini, who
has made several ether statues, eques
trian and otherwise, of the heroes of
Venezuela, now occupying places iu the
plazas and other public places in Cara
cas.
Venezuela has beon liberal to art in
honoring her heroes, and not only her
own heroes, but tlioso of other lands
whoso qualities and deeds are admired
because of tho ideas they fought for. A
statue of our own Washington occupies
one of tho most prominent places in its
capital city, the plaza Washington in
Caracas taking its name therefrom.
Miss Liberty of Venezuela will not
be as gigantic as Miss Liberty of the
United States, hut she will be majestic
enough to command attention. The
statue now being cast in bronzo is about
40 feet in height, and it will rest, when
placed on the eminence of tho plaza in
Caracas, on a granito pedestal 20 feet
high. From its commanding position it
will be in view from all parts of tho
Venezuelan capital.
Mr. Turiui’s idea of Liberty is that
sho is a young woman with a torch, and
he has thus kept within the pale of con
ventionality, but aside from that hit
figure has been executed on rathef
unique lines. The drapery permits some
display of the undo figure. There is a
coat of mail covering the upper portion
of the figure, and the left hand carries
a wreath.
The torch held by Ibo right hand will
not alone supply tho illumination by
night, hut the band of seven stars about
the forehead of the statue will also glow
with tho light of electricity, the current
being supplied by a plant beneath the
base of tho statue. By a system of con
cealed wires the entire statue from base
to crown can also be illuminated on
specie,l gala occasions.
Among the recent works of Air. Tnri
ni is an equestrian statue of Marshal
Lucre, also executed for tho Venezuelan
government.—New York Herald.
umfen firm ouciTzrci environments. Tlius
in the course of yoars, a longer or short
er time, according to our powers of con
centration, wo can think onr bodies into
health, our tempers into sweetness and
serenity and our lives into habitual hap
piness. Everything must exist in
thought before it can bo materialized,
■was the Mnlford idea. By controlling
and concentrating our thoughts we can
create for ourselves new bodies and de
sirable environments, reasoned Mulford.
Therefore whatever good thing one de
sires let him “think hard that way. ”
Thinking hard is a robust arid healthful
mental exercise to bo commended to
mankind in general.
The fake Englishmen now abroad in
our laud remind one of the fake hack
ney horses which some Americans try
to manufacture out of good plain United
Skates trotters. They rein up the trot
ter’s head, get him to jerk his knees and
wabblo loftily in his gait in imitation
of tho British article, and then cry,
“Behold this beautiful hackney.-” The
American Anglomaniac dons London
clothes, drawls and minces in his
speech, swears by bis bloody eyes and
says in his secret soul, “By jove, what
a fiuo Briton am II”
A minister lately asked his congrega
tion how many of them prayed for two
noted state politicians belonging to lead
ing political parties. Some persons con
sider the two to be very wicked. He
mentioned the politicians by name and
then said, “All who pray for these two
men raise your hands.” Not a hand
went. up. This was strange, for if any
body at all needs praying for it is bad
people. The good aro already safe. It is
the wicked people on whom Christians
should get in their work.
In the eastern states many savings
banks that have hitherto been abla to
pay 4 per cent interest are taking steps
to reduce that rate to 3J j per cent dur
ing the next half year. They are over
loaded with deposits and hard put to it
to find safe investments that will return
to depositors 4 per cent a year.
A news item says that iu some coun
ties of Alabama there is not a single
public school bouse < word by the state
aud that the average amount of state
school man y for colored children iu
these counties is oly oO cents a year.
