An obstinate man does not hold opinions, but they hold him; for when he is once possessed with an error it is like a devil, only cast out with great difficulty. Whatsoever he lays hold on, like a drowning man, he never looses, though it do but help to sink him sooner. His ignorance is abrupt and inaccessible, impregnable both by art and nature, and will hold out to the last, though it has nothing but rubbish to defend. It is as dark as pitch, and sticks to anything it lays hold on. His skull is so thick that it is proof against any reason, and never cracks but on a wrong side, just opposite to that against which the impression is made, which surgeons say does happen very frequently. The slighter and more inconsistent his opinions are the faster he holds them, otherwise they would fall asunder of themselves; for opinions that are false ought to be held with more strictness and assurance than those that are true, otherwise they will be apt to betray their owners before they are aware. He delights most of all to differ in things indifferent; no matter how trivolous they are, they are weighty enough in proportion to his weak judgment; and he will rather suffer self-martyrdom than part with the least serpule of his freehold; for it is impossible to dye his dark ignorance into any lighter color. He is resolved to understand no man's reason but his own, because he finds no man can understand his but himself. His wits are like a sack, which the French proverb says is tied faster before it is full than when it is; and his opinions are like plants that grow upon rocks, that stick fast though they have no rooting. His understanding is burdened like Pharaoh's heart, and is proof against all sorts of judgments whatever.—From Godeys Lady's Book, published in 1863. Pardons Not Favored. Havana, May 23.—A bill was presented in the Senate to-day providing for the pardon of all Americans serving sentences in the island and all those against whom proceedings are still pending. The bill was tabled. It was decided to send a message to President Roosevelt and the American army and navy expressing gratitude for their generous conduct in helping the emancipation of Cuba. It was also decided to salute the Cuban army and others who assisted in securing the independence of the island. A credit of $100,000 was voted to meet the expenses estimated by the military government. The House of Representatives passed the bill pardoning all Americans under sentence or against whom charges are now pending. A scheme for the payment of the army was presented and tabled. The budget of expenditure by the military government was approved until June 30. Capt. Arnold's Company Won. The annual prize drill at Missouri University took place Saturday afternoon on the campus.

In reply to questions asked him ```markdown ``` SUNDAY LYNCHING AT PARIS. Abraham Witherup, who was accused of murdering William Grow, on April 17, 1902 was taken from the Paris, Mo., jail by a mob and hanged at 2 o'clock last Sunday morning. On Saturday Witherup was arranged before Judge Eby and his trial set for June 30. It had been rumored that a mob would be ready to take him from the officers as he was being taken from the jail to the Court house, but the officers eluded it by having him arraigned at the early hour of 8 a. m., before the arrival of the men in town. This, together with the postponement of the trial, until such a late date, so incensed Grow's friends that they decided to lynch the man. Stephen Grow, father of the murdered boy, went to the Sheriff and demanded that he hand over the jail keys, saying that the crowd did not desire trouble or to hurt any one, but that they intended to have Witherup at any cost. The Sheriff refused to deliver the keys and pleaded with them to let the law take its course. The crowd dispersed, and it was thought that it had returned home, but it went to the eastern part of town and there organized for an attack on the officers and the jail. Nine men were appointed to overpower and disarm the officers. Then they marched to Smith's blacksmith shop and secured sledgehammers and iron bars with which to force an entrance to the jail. When they were within several feet of the jail the men were commanded to halt and advance no further. Instead of heeding this, they rushed upon the officers before they had time to shoot, and overpowered and disarmed them. The officers had previously hidden the keys and refused to deliver them. Both Sheriff Clark and Deputy Sheriff Clark were injured, though not seriously, in the struggle that ensued. Several men stood guard over them while others attacked the outer jail door with sledgehammers. It did not take long to force an entrance to Witherup's cell. A large rope was immediately placed around the murderer's neck. At this juncture, J. H. Whitecotton, Speaker of the last House of Representatives, forced his way into the jail and pleaded with the mob in behalf of justice, themselves, their families and the good name of Monroe County to desist. He told them that he had refused to defend Witherup, and that he would not only refuse to defend any member of the mob, but would assist in their prosecution. The mob was powerful and determined and the officers and Whitecotton were powerless to check it. It swept by Whitecotton and out into the street with Witherup, a rope dangling around his neck. The angry crowd proceeded down Main street about a quarter of a mile to the Palmyra Ford, where a large iron bridge spans Salt River. HIS BUFFMANN MARK Local Representative. by Grow, Witherup said that he killed Grow in self-defense and did not know how many times he struck him, but was positive that he did not kill him the first time. Witherup said he did not know what became of Grow's watch and money, and denied that he had killed a boy in Kansas. Witherup was the most composed man in the crowd, and talked as quietly and rationally as though he was speaking in private conversation. He was not nervous or excited in the least, did not beg or plead for anything whatever, but met death bravely and without evidence of fear. Atter he was done speaking, his hands and arms were tied behind him and he was ordered to get upon the railing and jump off. He replied very calmly that he could not do so with his feet tied. He was lifted up and placed on the top railing, where he sat for a moment. At exactly 2 a.m., Stephen Grow, the dead boy's father, gave Witherup a push which sent him far out into the air and into eternity. He died a painless death and did not make a struggle, as his neck was broken in the fall. For some time his body swung to and fro like a pendulum, and he hung in the air between the bridge and the river until 8 o'clock Sunday morning, when the Coroner, arrived. Fully 200 people witnessed the hanging. The hanging is generally deplored by the majority of the citizens of Paris. Not a citizen of Paris participated in the hanging. The mob came from the country. Prosecuting Attorney McAllister, when asked as to what action would be taken, said: "I am in possession of the names of all the men who took an active part in the hanging of Witherup. These names are given by two or three of the best and most reliable citizens of the county, who announced their willingness to testify upon a prosecution of the guilty parties."

Department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending May 26, 1902. Unusually warm weather has continued throughout the state, with frequent showers in the northern, central and western sections, but in portions of the southeast section the week has been dry. The total rainfall for the seven days ending May 24th exceeded 1 inch over much the greater portion of the state, and over most of the northwestern and many of the central and southwes WORLD. tern counties it ranged from 1 to over 4 inches, while in a few localities it even exceeded 6 inches. Although some damage has been done by the washing of rolling land and the overflowing of small streams, the heavy rains have been of inculable benefit, the soil being now thoroughly moistened to a considerable depth. In a number of the southeastern counties, where the rainfall was light, wheat, oats, grasses and other growing crops are now suffering seriously from drought, some localities having received no rain of any consequence for several weeks. In several of the northern counties considerable damage was done by local hailstorms. In a majority of the northern and west-central counties the cultivation of corn has been prevented by the rains and in some districts the fields are becoming weedy; elsewhere cultivation has progressed favorably, and the crop is making good progress in all sections. Planting is not quite completed in some of the northern counties, and considerable replanting will be necessary in some districts on account of washouts and damage by cut worms. Cotton, in the southeastern counties, is growing well, as are also melons. Some melons have been laid by Flax, in the southwestern counties, is doing finely, except in portions of Henry and Jackson counties. Wheat is suffering for rain in some of the southeastern counties, but elsewhere it continues exceptionally promising, as a rule, though there is some complaint that, it is lodging on rich ground, and in a few of the southwestern counties rust has appeared. Oats are not doing well in some localities, but in general their progress has been very satisfactory and the earliest are now heading. Reports regarding meadows indicate that while an average yield of hay is promised in many localities, the crop as a rule will be light. The acreage was considerably reduced as a result of last season's drought and in many of the old meadows the stand is thin, permitting the growth of weeds. Alfalfa is doing well. Considerable millet has been sown. Pastures are in excellent condition except in a few of the southeastern counties. Potatoes and gardens are doing finely, except in some of the southeastern counties, where they are suffering from drought. Apples promise a fair to good crop in some districts but in most sections the crop will be light. Many orchards in the central and northern counties have been completely stripped of foliage by caterpillar and in the southern sections there is considerable complaint of dropping. Peaches will be a good crop in most of the extreme southern counties. A. E. HACKETT, Section Director Facts About Advertising. Fulton Sun. Advertising! That's the word. It has done more to bring America to its present condition than any other word in the English language. That one word—advertising—is nearly the foundation of America. It has reaped from itself rewards that have made the fortunes of the most prominent men of America. And it is still in its progress, the future is brighter than ever. Advertising has made a greater progress than any other profession known. Ten or twelve years ago advertisement writers were almost unknown. The work generally being done by a clerk. We now have advertisement writers who devote their entire time to preparation of copy. America has made a greater stride, in the latter half of the nineteenth century than any other nation on earth. Who knows but that the time will come when a wireless message will flash to Mars, for some goods that appeared in the ad. of Bill Jones to be delivered per airship the next day. The advertising man has placed America first in manufacture and commerce. The amount of money spent for advertising in 1900 is more than double that spent in 1890. The prospect for the future is brighter than ever. Yet there are some who say that advertising doesn't pay. If advertising don't pay why spend hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. Merchants and manufacturers are beginning to realize that to keep in line with the successful merchant of to-day they must place their advertising matter in the hands of experienced advertisement writers. It is true that some ads. don't pay simply for the reason that proper typographical detail of type have not been studied. They submit their ads. to the printer in any old way, fill up space you might say, then wait for results but none come. And nine times to ten this same man will preach the funeral, for advertising. Publicity is becoming a greater necessity every day of the year. Merchants and manufacturers have advertised that never did so before. They have realized that proper ad- VOL. I. NO. 30. vertising pays: (They have found a good thing and they are going to cling to it.) There is no reason on earth why proper advertising should not pay any business on earth to-day. Although the make-up of an ad, requires thought, time and study, it yet surely pays. Therefore this particular branch should be the foundation to nearly all business. Advertising has lifted America from a low and obscure position to one of the richest and most brilliant nations on earth. Obituary. Mrs. Clara B.

Dr. Haase, a member of the reichstag and a prominent professor of Leipsic, spoke in this connection before the annual meeting at Eisenach of the Panerman association. He said: "The present official German effort to promote German culture in the United States rests upon a misconception, German culture can never make the Yankees Germans; it will only result in increasing the nobility of the race, in adding to their education and their wealth, and, consequently, making them more dangerous, in the same manner that the Poles were affected by the introduction of German culture. The United States is and will remain a grave of German characteristics."

Career Closes at Washington After a Comparatively Brief Illness—Family Present When Spirit Flees from Body —Secretary of State Hay Sends Message of Regret—State Funeral for the Diplomat. Washington D. C., May 26—Lord Paunceforet, the British ambassador, died this morning at 5:30. About 2 o'clock he suddenly developed a very weakened heart condition, and a consultation of his physicians was called. They were unable to rally him, and he died peacefully, not having regained consciousness from the sleep he fell into during the night. His family and part of the embassy staff were at the bedside when death came. As soon as it became generally known that Pauncefote was dead, flags were half-masted over the different embassies and legations. By noon all the embassies had been informed of the sad event. Expressions of sympathy and regret were heard on all sides. Secretary of State Hay today dis Secretary of State Hay today dispatched the following cablegram to the marquis of Landsdowne, London: "Permit me to express my deep sympathy and sorrow at the death of Lord Pauncefoe. His majesty's government has lost a most able and faithful servant and this country a valued friend." Lord Pauncefoe will have a state funeral. The present arrangements provide for taking the remains to St. John's Episcopal church, Wednesday, where the services will be held. The honorary pall bearers will consist of Ambassadors von Holleben, M. Cambon, Count Cassini, Senor Aspiros and Signor Myres Des Planches; Secretary of State Hay, Senator Frye and Speaker Henderson. After the services the remains will be escorted by a military procession to Rock Creek cemetery to be placed in a temporary receiving vault. Later they will be taken to England, probably on the United States warship for final interment. Rt. Hon. Lord Pauncefofe of Preston, G. C. B., G. C. M. G., the first ambassador to the United States and the dean of the diplomatic corps in Washington, was born in Munich, Bavaria, 74 years ago, and was the issue of one of the most ancient of British families, whose history is founded in the Doomsday book. Educated as a lawyer, his government service began in Hongkong as attorney general, in 1865, and after much valuable colonial experience he came to Washington in 1889, first as minister and then as first ambassador. His service has been an unbroken record of successful diplomacy. The arbitration treaty negotiated with Secretary Oney was a forerunner of the great work accomplished at The Hague, and it may be said that it embodied some of the most important principles of the great general convention regulating arbitration afterwards framed by The Hague conference. Then came a number of reciprocity treaties and arrangements involving a vast amount of study and work, all of which were perfected as far as the executive branch of our government could cooperate with Lord Pauncefofe. Soon after Secretary Hay assumed office Lord Pauncefote began the task which he himself regarded as the greatest accomplishment of his busy life, namely, to forever set at rest the questions growing out of the old Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and he entered with energy into the negotiations, the result of which was the framing of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, recently ratified. For these valuable service the British government did Lord Pauncefote the honor to three times extend the term of his service at Washington, which would otherwise have ceased when he attained the age of 70 years.

Obsequies of Lord Pauncefote to be Conducted With Great Dignity at Washington. Washington, D.C., May 28.—It is evident from the preparations so far made that the funeral of the late Lord Pauncefort will be conducted with great dignity and will be made a memorable occasion. All of the available mail and naval forces in Washington and vicinity will take part in the procession. Officially the attendance at the church will be confined to the president and his cabinet, the diplomatic body, the supreme court, the members of the senate committee on foreign relations and affairs, Admiral Dewey and General Miles and their staffs, the bureau chief of the state department and the assistant secretaries from the other departments. It is pretty well settled that the remains of the diplomat will be carried to England on an American warship, probably the Olympia flagship of the North Atlantic squadron, and Admiral Dewey's flagship at Manila, or the Brooklyn, Admiral Schley's ship at Santiago bay, which is just returning from Cuba, will be selected for this duty. The date of departure will depend upon the convenience of the Pauncefoe family, but it is certain that the casket cannot be landed on English soil before the conclusion of the coronation ceremonies. SAY THE WRIT IS ILLEGAL Packers Make New Move in Trust Litigation in the State of Missouri. Jefferson City, Mo., May 28.—Attorneys for the Schwartzchild and Sulzberger company of Kansas City today filed a motion in the supreme court to quash the alternative verdict issued at the instance of Attorney General Crow for the ouster of the defendant for being in the beef combine. The motion is the same as filed in the cases of other respondents. It alleges that the writ was improperly issued in vacation. The court, en banc, will probably pass on the motion June 4, when it will meet to render verdicts. TO CONTROL PRICE OF METAL Co-operative Mining Concern Organized May Keep Up Values of zinc and Lead. Kansas City, Mo., May 27.—William Phillipson of New York, who has organized a co-operative mining company to control the price of zinc and lead ore in the Joplin mining district, was here on his way East.

PALMA TO THE CUBANS FIRST MESSAGE SENT TO IN-SULAR CONGRESS. Chief of New Republic Gives Prominence to Assistance of United States in Speeding Freedom to Gem of the Antilles—Wants Lower American Tariff on Sugar—Plans of the Government. Havana, May 28.—President Palma's message was published tonight, and will be delivered to the Cuban senate tomorrow. Almost the first paragraph is a recognition of the assistance the United States gave Cuba and an expression of gratitude. President Palma advises great care in the preparation of the budget, and recommends the encouragement of agricultural industries. Referring to reciprocity he says that every effort should be made to negotiate a favorable treaty, and that the remedy for the present crisis in Cuban sugar industry would be a reduction of American tariff. The reorganization of the rural guard is recommended, and also the continuation of the sanitary work inaugurated by the Americans. The purpose of the government, he says, will be to encourage education, the construction of railroads and the protection of capital already invested in railroads. He favors meeting the obligations contracted with the Cuban army, but does not yet know how the ordinary expenses of the government are to be met. President Palma expresses great satisfaction that the republic has been recognized by the United States, Great Britain, France, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Santo Domingo, Ecuador and Paraguay, and hopes that other countries will recognize the republic. In conclusion he admonishes the people that to preserve Cuban nationality it is of extreme importance that there should exist uninterrupted concord between the people. Squire Presents Credentials Havana, May 28—Herbert G. Squires the first minister of the United States to Cuba, was formally received by the Cuban government this afternoon. Mr. Squires is the first minister to present his credentials, and will be the dean of the diplomatic corps in Havana. TRAIN RACES WITH CYCLONE Santa Fe Passenger Keeps Out of Range of a Twister in hansas. Wichita, Kan. May 28—In a race between a cyclone and a Santa Fe passenger train the latter came out about 50 feet ahead after speeding 12 miles. Northbound passenger No. 406, due here at noon, left Arkansas City at 10 o'clock. The cyclone, which came from the southwest, started on the right of way, and the race began immediately. Conductor Strain says that he immediately locked all doors and windows to keep passengers from leaping out. Many women were panic-stricken and tried to jump from the train. The heat was unbearable. He stood on the rear platform and could feel a slight suction of the cyclone as it drew nearer. Engineer Watts pulled his train 50 miles an hour, barely keeping cut of the storm's clutches. Fireman Johnson was so exhausted when the train reached Winfield, the cyclone having shot upward and dissolved, that he had to be carried from his cab. The engineer continued his run to Newton. The cyclone covered a path about 50 feet wide, but did no serious damage. The track was not displaced. At times portions of the black cloud would envelop the train, and when the storm woulde speed it dropped back again. All the passengers were badly frightened. HARVARD TO BE GAINER European Scholars Being Interested in the Proposed Germanic Museum There. Berlin, May 28.—Prof. Kuno Franche has been in correspondence with Austrian Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish scholars regarding the co-operation in the matter of the Germanic Museum at Harvard. He has received many favorable replies. Emperor Williams' contribution to the museum will be the largest. Workmen from the Berlin royal museums are now making casts of the great altar piece of the famous founders of the statues in the church of St. Sebaldus at Nuremberg for the Harvard museum. These workmen are going from city to city in Germany making reproductions of art objects and sending the casts to Berlin where the finishing touches are given them. The Germanic museum of Nuremburg will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its foundation on June 14. The celebration will be attended by the emperor, and Dr. Walter Vessel] Hoeft, vice president of the Harvard museum, has been invited to attend as the guest of the Nuremburg museum. CRUELTY OM THE HIGH SEA Captain and First Officer of Transport Buford Arrested for Tricing a Sailor. San Francisco, May 28.—United States Commissioner Heacock here issued warrants for the arrest of Captain K. F. Martins and First Officer W. G. Harstedt of the army transport Buford, on charges of cruelty to a sailor on the high seas. The charges are made by B. Beckkoefer, third cook of the transport, who claims to have been triced up for an hour and a half. Captain Martins asserts that this punishment was only continued for 15 minutes. Other charges were hat the vessel brig where he men slept was over crowded and in an unsanitary condition.

STORM SWEEPS ST. VINCENT. Elemental Furies Rage and Soufriere Volcano Belches Cloud to Terrror of People. Kingston, May 28.—Saturday night dense clouds, forming a canopy over the greater part of the island, lowered, and a severe thunderstorm, accompanied by heavy rainfall, broke over St. Vincent island and continued until today, causin many streams in the Wadward district of Georegtown to be flooded. Water pipes were damaged, several houses were wrecked away, and two lives were lost. The rainfall was so heavy that it disturbed the bodies of the buried victims of the volcanic disaster and the corpses with putrid flesh hanging to the bones were exposed to view. During the storm Soufriere volcano appeared to give forth a dense cloud of vapor and steam, rising to a considerable height and spreading over the neighborhood. Roaring sounds from the mountain caused apprehension of another eruption. The severe lightning lasted all night Saturday and Sunday. Eight inches of rain fell at Kingston between Saturday and Monday, the heaviest downfall since the hurricane. Further interesting incidents which occurred during the recent eruption of the volcano are continually coming to light. While all the residents of the village of Morne Ronda were leaving that place by boat a man who had declined to leave was seen running up and down the shore, screaming for help and saying the ground was hot and the water boiling. As the lava was coming down the mountain it was impossible to rescue the man and he died a horrible death. A pathetic scene was witnessed when a father and mother, holding each other's hands, the woman having an infant at her breast, and another child at her feet, were all struck dead together. Flame from the Crater Castries, Island of St. Lucia, May 28. —Flames from Mont Pelee were seen at frequent intervals last nhgt. They were able from the signal station at this port.

It is not unlikely to do the same this year, ‘We have found the last two weexs in May the best time during which to transplant evergreens. A good many small potatoes will be ‘used for seed this spring owing to high price and scarcity of seed. If it had not been for the corn fodder which was saved last fall, there would have been a forage famine all through the West this spring. Tomatoes will do best on a well en- wiched sandy soil.

We have two acres of heavy timber land which we have cleared and grub- hed out this spring, and we are going to plant it with the best variety of pota- toes we can find.

As this inquiry from. the ‘prairie regions of the Northwest we will try to answer it with reference to that section. The question of time in con- nection with tree-growing is an im- portant one, for the best varieties of timber grow much more slowly than the poorer one. The European larch, the white ash, hard maple and black ‘wal- nut are among the best of our forest trees, but are slow in growing, while the cottonwood, box elder, soft maple, white elm and willow will make a very rapid growth, but have little value for timber purposes as compared with those first named. A very successful way of planting such a tract {s to alternate the rows of trees, planting one-half of the desirable kinds and the other half with the quick-growing sorts, the latter to be cut as they attain sufficient size to be of any use, The black walnut on moist and alluvial soils is a very profit- able tree to plant, but {t will require about 50 years to make it marketable, ‘Make Your Own Bacon.

Carrying this ‘theory out im a practical way, we have this spring top worked 500 hardy four- year-old trees in our orchard and con- figently expect good results One of the most unselfish things which an old man can do is to plant fruit trees, the fruit of which he can- not, because of the limitations of age, expect to himself enjoy. ‘When we see at one of these Western towns great piles of baled prairie hay and a tile factory in operation, we know \that the farms of that locality will be producing 60 bushels of corn to the acre inside of five years. ‘The mammoth clover {s the best if the enrichment of the soil where it is sows is the principal thing sought, but if forage 1s desired the medium clover is better. !t is difficult to make good | hay out of the mammoth clover, Mothers will find Mrs, Winslow's Sooth- ing Byiup the best remedy to uve for thelr children during the teething period, UNCLE BILL fibe Bditor pan Ter dogs War xe “ ES, I've been hypnertized,” said Uncle Bill in reply to a ques- tion by the editor, who had just returned from a court | session, where a case'of hypnotic sug- gestion had been on trial. “How does a person feel when under the influence of hypnotism?” asked the editor. “Feels like a fool what's afraid he's goin’ ter haye some sense that he won't know how ter use when he gits it,” re- plied Uncle Bill, who had got his feet fixed so that his tongue could wag. “When were you hypnotized?” again asked the editor. “Why, gee whiz, hain’t’ yer heerd "bout that yit?” queried Uncle Bill, “Some one was in and said that you had become a convert to hypnotism,” replied the editor, “but I want my in- formation from the proper source.” “Wall, yer got it straight enough,” replied Uacte Bill, who seemed a will- ing convert, for some reason. “I would like to know why you be- came a believer in hypnotism?” replied the editor. “You used to be one of the citizens who were opposed to it and claimed it to be a fraud.” “When a feller steps inter a hole an’ the water runs over his boot tops, there's mighty apt ter be water there whether he believes it or not,” said Unele Bill, “an’ that’s Jest what'T done with this hypnotism bizness, I stepped inter a hull pond uv the influence an’ was lookin’ 'round fur a |fool an’ found one in myself ‘thouht stirrin’ out uv my tracks, an’ there's one advantage ‘bout it—a feller what's been. hypner- tized “11 own up ter, beln’ a fool” “How were you placed under the in- fluence?” asked the editor. “Wall, yer'see, it was like this: \A jfeller come along an’ stopped’ at m place an’ wanted ter put lightnin’ fod: on the house an’ barn an’ I ha¢ made up ty mind that no one’ coulc | work me on that racket, but this felle ‘hung ‘round an’ said he jest wanted te [put the rods. up tur/ adyentisin’ pur | poses, as he had ter have some plac | ter demonstrate, practieally ter the peo plea’ then te turned a crank, an the gosh durnedest lot uv crackin’ ai sparkin’ I ever see: went ter: jumping ‘round a box he had with him, onti fhe got mo ter thinkin’ mebby i'd struck by iightnin’ myself.

PRESS OF THE MISSOURI STATESMAN. OUR thanks are due the following named persons who have recently paid subscriptions to this paper: Prof. W. H. Harrison, of Jefferson City; Prof. J. H. Bias, of Lincoln Institute; Hon. C. H. Clark, of Tuscumbia; Mrs. Sallie Gatewood, Mrs. Lucy Rollins and Mrs. Annie Scott, of Columbia. THE commencement exercises of Lincoln Institute will be held June 8-12. During the four months of his stay at Lincoln Institute, President Clarke has demonstrated his ability to manage well and successfully the affairs of Lincoln Institute. There are, however, some changes in the present faculty extremely necessary for the good of the institution. If the standard of an institution is to be raised, teachers should be selected with regard to their thorough educational ability and high moral stamina, such as would serve as an example for those whom they are to teach. THE closing of one of the rooms of the Fred Douglass school by the Board of Education is to be very much regretted by the patrons of the school and those interested in education. The school enumeration taken a few weeks ago shows that there are 785 negro school children in Columbia, which means 112 pupils to the teacher, (only seven teachers having been elected.) With such a negro population as Columbia has there is no reason why they should not support a ten room building. The patrons should see to it that every child is at the school house at the opening of school. St. Charles, Mo., May 24th, 1902. Dear Fellow Teacher:-As the time for the Annual Institute draws near, it becomes necessary to make the following statement: The time for opening all colored institutes is June 2nd, and closing June 16. We cannot open then because our school being a ten month's school does not close till June 13th. We could not open on the 16th because that is the day which the Summer School for colored teachers opens at Jefferson City, and Mr. Carrington has decided that no colored Institute shall be in session during the session of the Summer School which is from June 16 to August 2nd. The St. Charles Institute will begin August 4th. We would be pleased to see all former patrons of the Institute that day. Those who have attended the St. Charles Institute know of its benefit as an Institute and the beautiful and healthful location of the town. There are three railroads which make it easy to be reached from any part of the State. August is not too late for an Institute and it will be of great benefit to those who need plenty of time to prepare, also to those who have failed, it will be a last chance. It will close, in time for the August examinations. Good board can be secured at reasonable rates. For any other information apply to W. B. HIGHGATE, Conductor. AMONG THE COLLEGES. A new fad in Eastern schools is a spelling bee, the words to be taken from some popular novel or standard work. The fad began in the New York high school and the manual training high school has begun a series of spelling bees, the words to be taken from Ivanhoe. Considering the fact that the children of the present day are notably poor spellers the new fad may prove valuable in its results. The graduates of one of the girls' high schools of Manhattan have formed an alumnae association, the object of which is to assist graduates in obtaining high-salaried positions. No fees will be charged, and every effort will be made to use the influence of the members for the assistance of those who are qualified for business life. Statistics show that out of thirty-five students who have received the degree of doctors in English of the graduate department of Yale, twenty-one have college positions; five are full professors and four associate professors. The thirty-five doctors have published twenty-six books and monographs. Dr. Jagger, of Wellesley college, having sailed for Martinique, the course which he gave in advanced geography will be finished by Dr. Palache, of Harvard. Prof. George H. Palmer, of Harvard, will lecture at Wellesley next year in the department of philosophy. The college entrance examination board will hold examinations for students desiring to go from Missouri to the institutions which accept its certificates in St. Louis and Kansas City at a date to be announced in June. Several candidates for the corporation vacancy at Yale university having withdrawn, leaves upon the list only H. B. Sargent, of New Haven, class of 1870, and Gardiner Lathrop, of Kansas City, class of 1869. A large attendance is expected at the annual meeting of the alumni association of Lincoln Institute as an effort will be made to establish what will hereafter be known as founders day the object of which will be to perpetuate the name of the old soldiers who gave the first money to establish the school. Courtesy At Home. Almost any one can be courteous in a neighbor's house. If anything goes wrong, or is out of time, or is disagreeable there, it is made the best of, not the worst; even efforts are made to excuse it, and to show it is not felt; it is attributed to accident, not to design; and this is not only easy but natural in the house of a friend. I will not, therefore, believe that what is so natural in the house of another, is impossible at home, but maintain, without fear, that all the courtesies of social life may be upheld in domestic society. A husband as willing to be pleased at home as he is anxious to be pleased in a neighbor's house, and a wife as intent on making things comfortable every day, to her family, as on set days to her guests, could not fail to make home happy.—Ex. The Jefferson City School. The exercises of the primary and intermediate grades of Washington school were held at the Second Baptist church in that city last Tuesday evening. A large audience was in attendance and the children did themselves and their teachers great credit. The Warrensburg School. The closing exercises of the Howard school at Warrensburg were held last Friday evening. They were well attended and the program rendered was a very creditable one and reflected much credit upon Prof. O. M. Shackleford and his able assistants, Misses Woods and Huggard.
