SCHOOL LAW.
The general opening ot the schools on
October first suggests the ststement of a
few legal rules on this topic. The National
Bareau of Education has lately published
a pamphlet of recent school law decisions.
A parent has no right to control the studio-
of his child, so as to interfere with those
of other*; he cannot insist on his child
using a different textbook or taking up an
a idltional study, but he can direct that his
child shall omit some of the prescribed
studies. A school board may prescribe
that irregular atteudance shall forfeit the
right of attendance. As to chastisement,
tlie teacher stands In the t lace of the
parent and may punish “with kindness,
prudence and propriety." A whipping
■which left w«lts on the person of ttc pupil
for weeks afterward was held an assault
and battery. Tue jurisdiction of the teacher
extends to school hours, and not to the
pupil's conduct at home.
A PARAGRAPH FOR THR LADIES.
The history of the law relating to women
is a gradual story of amelioration. Even
in the time of Blackstone “moderate chas
tisement with a slender swltcj" was with
in th** conjugal privilege, but a man was
convicted of murder a few years ago in
^Massachusetts because he struck his wife,
although he did not intend to kill her, and
although she was ‘ drunk and insolent.”
Formerly all the wife’s property was im
mediately confiscated to the husband by
marriage. But after a time the law per
mitted her to own her clothes and after*
vtords a little pin money. Now it is all
pin money. A lady who understood the
law said lately to her spouse: “WhitV
yours is mine and what’s mine is ray own.”
Formerly a married woman cculd not
make a will. A humorist has said that
this w«s because women had their wills all
their lives. But now they can leave their
Wilis in operation after their death.
LAW AND BUSINESS.
There is something grand and beautiful
in the conception the law enuring silently
into all the relations ami transactions of
life and determining their character. Of
course this universal presence of law is an
unconscious presence. The force of gravity
is never felt until one tries to lift some
thing or in some way disturb the condi
tions of matter. 80 the inherence of It

WHIN DOES A LAW TAXI XmtCr IN GEORGIA ?
Formerly, la England, a law took effect
from the first day of Parliament The re
sult waa that laws applied to transactions
which occurred before their passage. This
was seen to be monstrous, and led to the
next rule, that they took effect from and
after their passage. But it ia obviously un
just to bind ihe people by a law until it
lias been promulgated, and Judge Lump
kin urged upon tbe Legislature to enact
that a law should net take effect until pub-
lished. This was done in the Code of 1903,
section 3, which provided for publication
in a public gazette. But as no gazette was
prescribed, the Legislature of 1870 repealed
so much of the section as prescribed publi
cation in a publio gazette. Judge Bimmons
has decided that tbe act did not repeal the
requirement of publication, but only of
pnblicstion in a gazette Judge Bleckley,
however, in his “Report on the Code," re
gards the entire requirement for publica
tion repealed. If he is right, we are in the
miry barbarism of tbe middle ages. A man
could be punished or lose his property in
Georgia under a law that he could not know.
The General Assembly should remove the
doubt which surrounds the question.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A long winded lawyer was boring a judge.
Said the latter: “Mr. ,you have slated
that before." and th»n pausing, "but you
may have forgotten; it was a long time
ago."
A juror who was deaf in one ear asked to
be excused on the ground that be could
only hear one » Lie of a case. He was like
tbe witness who refused to 'kiss the book”
wheu told to hold up bis right hand, be
cause he waa left-handed. Another juror
made the excuse of deafness. "Didn't you
hear my charge to the grand jury 7" as» e 1
the judge, “Yte.yoor honor, but I couldn't
make heads or tails of it.'' He was ex
cused.

OBJECTED TO THE TERM DUDE.
A Montreal Court Puzzled Over the Mean
ing of the Word.
Montreal, October 2.—A case of a novel
and amusing nature was tried this morn
ing in the recorder’s coqrt here. The par
ties to the suit were Mr. Allan Ham
ilton, s clerk in the Crown office,
department of the court house, and
nepheyof Mr. Justice Johnson, who was
the complaint against a civil service em
ploye, also a well known young gentleman,
but moving in a lower grade in the social
scale, as the plaintiff would prohibit say.
The cause of complaint is probable tbe
first of the kind ever brought before a
court of law. The plaintifl adeged thnt
the defendant had insnlted him in the pub
lic street by calling him "a dude."
Hamilton's appearance in court aatisfl
ed the spectators that so far as the fact
was concerned the defendant hsd not se
riously maligned him even if he appltd
tbe ep.thet iu question. The legal point
st issue, however, was whether an insult,
puniibabto by fins or imprisonment, hsd
been offered in public. For a long time,
In the amusiug turn which the cue
took the real issue was lost sight
of. Both sides were represented by
able conniel and a large nntuber
of witness had been summoned chiefly, it
»cem«, with a view to discovering tha ex
act meaning of the word “dude." To this
end a multitude of questions were asked
and a hewi deriug variety of definlrione
we re elicited. as may be imagined when it
is mentl >ned that the witnesses included
lawyers, civil service employes, policemen,
well kuown young swells, tailors, mer
chants, theatrical agents, and jour
nalists, Tbe court room was pack
ed curing tha trial, and the assem
blage included some of the leading people
here. At times the evidence eauied up
roarious laughter. In the end the court
staud that it was thoroughly bewildered
as to what a “dude" actually was, but as
it was not proved that the nllrg-d ius lit
bad taken place in thepuhl c street be
would dismiss the case. Hamilton de
clares that he will carry the case to a
higher court.
SECRETARY GRESHAM TO RETIRE.
Mr. Morton Not EH'gibla to the Place
Unless he Retiree from hie ■
Banklig Business.
Washington, September 30.—It may be
accepted u definitely settled that Secreta
ry Gresham will retire from the Cabinet
and accept th« Circuit Judgeship to suc
ceed Judge Drummond, as soon at the
President decides upon whom to confer
tbe Treasury portfolio, and matters «i 1
remain In abeyance until the arrival of Mr.
Levi P. Morton. The question of Mr. Mor-
ton'a eligibility for appointment as
Secretary of the Treasury cannot be deter
mined without |*er«oual conference with
bint. Tbe act of 17*0 provides that no
person appointed to thenffic^aof s*?reUry
of the treasury, first comptroller, tir.t aud
itor, treasurer, or register (dia l be directly
or indirectly concerned in trade or com
merce. or ettgag-d tn purchase or disposal
of State or United States securities. The
violation of this act is made a high
misdemeanor punishable by fine, re
moval and disbarment from holding there- f
after any office under the government.
Mr. Morton is the senior member of a
banking bouse dealing In auch securities,
and to become eligible for the Treasurv
portfolio be must absolutely retire there
from. Conte -vuently, should tbe President
desire to appoint him to that position, Mr.
Morton must be effrrded opportunity to
decide what coarse to pursue.
The Evening Star fe authority for the
statement that Mr. Morton would not ec
c**pt the oilioe for only five months, but
that this difficulty bad been obviated, ac
cording to report, by an arrangement
which will continue bhn in the Cabinet

"Xh, no; association has softened _

make money than they did ten years ego.
It used to be that tbe church had an ira
tnense establishment in the city that might
have been called a colossal wholesale and
retail atore. This was in a magnificent
building near the temple and contained
ever* thing that a Mormon needed. Since
the death of Brigham Yonrg. however,
this system has graiusl'y fallen into de
cay, and at present the Gentiha are erect
ing shops all over the city, and within a
short while Salt Lake Chy will have the
appearance of any other large town with

other aocial change that is gradually tak
ing place is that the ‘ Mor

: McCullough occa signally violent.
Shndcw*d by Cetecttvta nnd Carefully
Watched by His Friends,
Chicago, Os ober 2.— John McCullough,
the tragrdian. pa*sed a wild day and night
of it, beginning with yesterday morning.
His managers failed t-o disclose the full
truth to him respecting the cancelling of
<111 is engagements, owing to tbe respect
that they entertalned for the man's force
ful nature. He had displayed great anger
when informed of the termination of the
Chicago engagement Ilia manager found
it difficult to restrain and control hitu and
hesitated to tell him that his future, in so
ier as Lis Strain appearing upon the stage
was concerned, was a blank. Mr. McCul
louah read the accounts in the papers of
yesterday concerning him, and s on aft?r
repaired to the Tretuunt Hou«e, where
Miss Tracy, formerly the leading lady of
his company, was Having. He declared
that he intended to start mini* distrdy f r
Detroit. Sue persuaded him to aband m
the plan until evening, and lie did so.
Then lie appeared at the Michigan Central
depot, having ordered bis b«gg*ge from
• lie h«»t« i. The baggage had failed to reach
him. however, in accordance whh the di
rection of Joseph Brooks. He was shad
owed *11 the while by two of Pinkerton’s
detective*. Tbev found him walking up
and down the platform with Miss Tracy
*nd, oi*pa r etitl t, in a calm frame of minu.
By u lin e strategy Mr. Br oks induced
hitu to enter a carriage, the daor waa
dosed in -tijjtly and thus imprisoned, Mr.
McCullough was driven to the Leiand
Hotel.
O.i the way there Mr. McCullough pro-
tc led stoutly, and by the time that the
hotel was reached he was thoroughly ex-
cited and angry. It required Mr. Brooks
Ht.d die two detectives to g-t him into the
hotel. At tire entrance he struggled d»s
perate’y and struck Mr. Brooks a heavy
nlowwlth It's cane. Two of the neg*oe*
employed at fbe hotel hastily i odged to
one side fearing that the frenzet man
would strike them. Finally he was half
pu»hed, half dragged to the elevator, ami
there so desi*erate was his resistance that
it was found necessary to throw him into
die elevator. Hews taken to his room
and kept a prisoner.
In a short time after this had happened
Miss Tracy rea'di-d the hotel, fche was
erving convulsively. After a moment’s
delay she went to Mr. McCullough’s room,
and diil what she could tn assist in calming
his mind and bringing him to retUze that
ho was not in fit condition to fl 1 any
engagements for some time to come, and
that it was imperative that be should rest.
He tbiaity grew '’a'mer and then pleaded
piteoudy that might leave the hotel.
He w**s treated ge>:tiy all this while and
every effort was tnsde to divert bis mind.
He was fi-tally induced to sit down to a
game of cards, one of the detectives sitting
nt the table with him. but without warning
after having been engaged in play for seve
ral hour*, be grasped His aue and struck
the policeman causing au ugly gash in the
forehead, which necessitated the calling in
ot a surgeon.
Mr. McCullough was induced to take a
narcotic and at 4 o'clock this morning he
lav down and obtained three hours' sleep,
tho tint that he had had for s »me time.
He awoke re refreshed, rose and dressed
and. iu a calm mood, went to the Chicago
Club, \rh;.e ho breakfasted. His shadow
ing detective never deserted him. however.
In the night E. D. Price told him of the
cancelling of hi* engagements, which only
a *ded to ids fury. This afternoon he
wet.’ out driving in a carriage with Gen.
Carson and Ids family, and appeared
thorough'y tractable. In conversation he
talked calmly.
Joseph Brooks said to-night: ‘‘McCul
lough is fui bed. i am one of bis friends,
but tbe fact ia, nevertheless, lamentably
true. He ia 49 y*are o d, and in my view
ne can never again ttko to tho stage." Mr.
Price docs not iio d *o this extreme view.
Mr. Brooks to-day swore out a warrant for
Mr. McCullough's arrest, to be used if the
facts warranted it. and this indicates the
gravity of the ca*e hs he views 1L

There is at present stopping in this city

he is now on bis way East to spend his

illustrated to a party of Invitel friends at
No. 19)2 Chesnnt street how deaf
mutes are tnsde to ep«at au lihty, in spite
of their natural speechlessness. With
him was a pupil, a mere hoy, so deaf
naturally that be could not h-ar a sound
end so dumb at one time as not to be able
to *f>eak a single syllable. Tbe preceptor
•Ilined clearly how the pupil was
taught to read the movements of the
human lips and bow he was
abled to utter words merely
ubering the nccersary actions
and positions of tbe organs of speech, Tbe
boy's powers of memory were but to the
severest te*t when he repeated the Lord’s
Prayer word for word. Not a syllable that
he uttered reache 1 his own ears, bat he
pn»ceeiled with an ease and rapidity born
only of confidence.
Articu'eiion is taught by Mr.Wbipple by
reprov'd ng upou a blackboard before a
class the position of the organs of speech
when any of the forty-two sound* of the
Eugiiah language ere uttered. For in

represent'd upon the blackboard as utter
ing the first sound. Then the pupils place
tbeirlipsin imitation of the bUckbonrd
presentation end emit the soand. The
her sounds are taken in the same way.
8»me pupils become so expert hi articula
ting as to be sole to go into active evervday
business. The words ottered by them,
however, seem to lack expression end ere

The principal delicacy of the feast was

“Where's John?"
“At the stable, I suppose. Hive you
looked?"
“lit- isn't at the stable, and Lily Isn't in
the bouse," observed the father, wiping
great beads of perspiration from his brow.
“They're gone, that's certain, and ptoba-
bly ti.ey are together. Now, I can t mn

"Where bare yon been?" inquired the
father sternly, hoping against hope.
"Oh, we've just had a little ice cream.
