Among the various perplexing prob­lems that confront the piano teacher, the one that requires most self-com ­mand and fortitude is the new pupil, who has received incorrect instructionfrom former teachers......... it is appal-ng to think of the expense, time and

money lost through the ignorance ol incompetent teacher; and at this

point we may safely say that parents are doing more to foster the Interests of such teachers than any other human medium. 01 though the general public Is rapidly coining to a higher appre­ciation of musical art some parents are

II positive that any kind of a teacu- is good enough for a beginner.” . . .

Many of the so-called amateur music teachprs who give lesson simply for the purpose o f earning a little spend­ing money, seldom look at their work in the right light. And in manylplaces the competition among teachers o f mu-

is made so close because of these amateur instructors that professional men and women find it difficult to sup­port theraselvos. It must be plain to such teachers that they harm the cause of uiusSfc mb well as the profession, i believe the time is coming when the law will exact some proof of compe­tency from every teacher of music. . . . The lack of suitable preparation On the part of teachers has been a serious obstacle to musical progress and Is partly due to the absence of a recog­nized standard of musical and teaching ability.

All citizens ought to consider carefully the men proposed for office, and support the ticket w^ose make-up assures ability to "boom the town.” The Mayor will be elected for a term of two years, the Assessor and Collector for three years each; two councilmen for three years, two for two years and two for one year.

Remember that no election hereafter can be as important as this one; for all the offices are now to be filled.

You will make no mistake by voting the entire Republican ticket.

Dr. M. F. Young; one of the Intelligent Chinamen in KansnF says limt the Chinese name i Boxers is, literally translated, men who fight with their fists cording to the Journal.

WASHINGTON lAvTTEH.

tQwa-

Washington, Feb. 27. Since its ex­istence the Government has lost only about one-twentieth of one per cent, •f its Income tnrough dishonest or unfortunate employees. In figures, it has lost only $16,000,000 out o f $32,- 000,000 of receipts in the last 110 years —about as good a record as that o f any country in the world. Particularly is the Internal Revenue Bureau handled with extraordinary honesty: from the inception o f the government there has not been a single dishonest officer connected with it. There is some diffi­culty In accounting for this, as the sys­tem of inspection is no more ■ rigid there than in other bureaus.

Of course, the above figure o f one- twentieth of one per cent, does not re­present the amount but merely the loss therefrom, as the amounts stolen or misappropriated are made up in a large measure by the bondsmen of the de­faulting officers. Until lately, about 10 per cent, of these bonds proved worth­less, the government being unable to collect on them. £o troublesome did these cases become that the govern­ment began to encourage the com panies organized for the Special pur­pose of bonding employees.

This system is a vast improvement over that by which personal bonds are I

iven by officeholders, signed by their | .‘lenffii as sureties. A person elected

or appointed to office has a hard task, especially if he is poor and hi* finan­cial responsibilities are great. In "get­tin g up” a personal bond. He asks many who humiliate him by refusing -o go on his bond. He is oftqn com ­pelled to share with his bondsmen the patronage of his office.

On the other hand an officeholder company to

and are loyal to the «npress they blindly follow. They are for the most part very ignorant, believing that the invasion o f China by foreign­ers means the <lestruction o f all the Chinese. A new religion has been set up, and a new god created. When i person becomes m member o f ‘the or der he takes an oath to assist in the extermination of mil foreigners, and after being a member for a certain length o f time he is assured that the go(f which they worship will protect him and will prevent any harm con ing to him from either a gun or sworu; that the only harm that ca come to a Chinaman will be from thfists

” The religion.” he continued, “ Is a peculiar one, and its name is not capable o f being translated in Eng­lish.” Hers he sketched the three characters by which the religion and t«d are symbolized. “ I have tried to get an English phrase which would be intelligible to Americans, but I cannot find anything in the language that expresses it. The idea is that] no one not born in China can enter ! this particular god’s heaven.

“Against this very bigoted and ig- I norant society a reform society has I bee* formed, and thus far there are 5,000,900 members, and they have col* I lected $1,500,000,000. The reform par ty is kindly disposed toward all for eigners, and is the progressive party of the Celestial kingdom. They wish to make Ewoxsg 8u the emperor, one of the most intelligent men in the whole empire of Chins, who wishes tc place his country on the standard ot the more enlightened«ones o f the world. Many of its adherents live in America, Francs and England and in the cities o f China where the foreign­ers are in control.

“ Xhe Boxers will never gain the day. They have no ides whatever of the strength o f the foreigners or of Jhe reform party, and their mode of warfare—with the fist*—is simply rl- dJcuIsus.”

_ no difficulty in exacting the bond from the company, fey should there be any unnecessary delay in payment the company realizes that it would secure no more Government business, and *for inis reason it Is punctilious in settling.

In addition to these advantages, it has been found that the defalcations of employes giving such security are rare. In the last three years only four de­falcations where companies have been on the bonds o f officials have been re­ported. As compared with u e aefalca-

iipns of who gave private bonds, this is s remarkable record.

8ometijne8, the Government collects on bonds long given up as lost. Such cases were numerous in the Spanish- American War. A number of men who were defaulters, or who had been on the bonds of dishonest agents o f the Government, _ secured positions in the volunteer army In some cases their unsatisfied obligations had been run­ning oil for a period o f forty yaars. They supposed that the account had b*Cb lost sl^ht of by Uncle Sam’s agents. Imagine their surprise when the paymaster visited their regiments jmd tendered them, instead of their aalary a certificate of receipt for the amount of money due them, which had oeen applied to their old Indebtedness to the Government. In that way a good many thousands o f dollars were co l­lected In 1898 and 1899.

He has been eminently successful In his present pastorate and leaves in !&cc of the unanimous protest o f the congregation. His salary will be less than he now receives.

Rev. A. E. Ballard, riqe president of the Camp Meeting .Association Ocean Grove, is planning changes In the great summer religions institution, the School ol Theology. Bishop Fiti- gerald is opposed to secular work in connection with the aphool, and his appointment means that the festivals, entertainments, etc., which have been associated with the school will be

About 1 o ’clock on Wednesday a lire broke out in the double dwelling house owned by J.

Inasmuch as Marshall’s services were in the highest sense services to 1-he nation, it is designed to make the observation o f “ John Marshall day'* national in scope and character. The president has expressed warm inter­est in the plan, and has promised to mention the matter in his message to congress in December. There will be exercises in the hall of the house of representatives at Washington, the courts all over the land will be closed, and the public schools and academies, It is hoped, wlUjWe devoted to the great lawyer’s memory. Most of the states have already given assuranoes o f their sympathy with the plan sjid begun preparations for * suitable ob­servation of the day.

John Marshall was a man o f peace, but, says the Youth’s Companion, hit services to his country were uot leai real or less enduring than thoss o f many o f the m ilitary or naval heroes whose names are household words.

DIVORCE IS TOO COMMON.

Official figures show that the di­vorce court in England was not near­ly so busy in 1898 as it had been in 1897. In the latter year 583 and in 1898 43 marriages were dissolved. It is worthy o f note that over 65 per cent, o f the petitions presented to the divorce court had reference to marriages o f from > five ;0 twenty yearB’ standing. The m ajority of ail the petitions presented were from husbands, but of those relating to marriages o f 2C and more years’ dura­tion the larger number were from wives. An interesting feature of the figures o f the English divorce court indicate* the auspices under which the marriages it was in 1S98 asked to annul were celebrated. About 70 per cent, are to be credited to the estab­lished chyrch, abfcut eight per cent, to other denominations nnd about 50 per cent, to the registry offices; The fact that tWo-llflhs o f all the ralr-

o f TlageB dissolved were childless ieada to the reflection that absence of chil­dren from the fireside tend* to the dissolution of the marriage tie. There la no doubt that the presence o f children i* a source o f strength to the matrimonial bond, because it adds unspeakably to the happinea* of the married couple.

The cotton goods o f England and Germany, the jewels and the wine of France, the prod­ucts o f America, Italy and Austria must make it possible for Russia to fight aid* to side with England, Germany, France, America, Italy and Austria.

An instance of the preference o f aofl*fpcopie for living underground was brought to light a short time ago near oouthport *R Lancsahire. A^Iarge house standing a Wttle way out ofthe town had always elicited the curiosity of those residing in the neighborhood btcau.se it was Supposed to be tenanted, and yet the windows remained boarded UP and the building fell into prema­ture decay for want of repair. Som* people, however, vouched for the fact that an old lady lived there, for she was seen to leave the house occasional­ly and go into the town to purchase the nocessariea for her existence, * statement which the tradesmen con firmed, *ays London Tit-Bit*.

At length, nothing have been seen >of this strange tenant for some time, the police took the matter in hand and entered the house by force, but dis­covered nothing until they reached the

She muat have lived by herself deep underground for nearly ten year*, shunning the light of day exfcept when it was absolutely necea sary for her to go out.

Another peculiar case come* from iPorsetshire, and will be well withil the recollection of many of the infeat* itanta of the county. A gentleman ol means, wishing to build a houM, se­lected a site he thought would suit hft purpose, fo r it wm on the summit of the downs overlooking the sea. Hll, reason for choosing such a strange spot ‘ was because he wished to be wbers h« could^ontinually hear the roar of th« waves against the oliffs below.

Some architects were instructed t« erect the building, but they said that unless it wa* of extraordinary strea^tfc it woutd, in all probability, come down upon the occupant’s head In conse­quence o f the terrific power of th« gales that visit that part of the coast during the winter. But the ga&tleman determined not to be outdone, so he actually furnished one of the oldsaaiqf glers’ caves, numbers of which are tc be found in the chalk cliffs near Lyme Regis. In this strange and lonely dwelling place he lived’for seven year* and only abandoned it to entar the bonds of matrimony.

Sir Wilfrid Lauricr, who has Just been returned to power by the victory o f the liberals in Canada, has been the leader o f hia party since 1887. Four years ago he led the liberals to triumph at the polls and waa sworn into office as president o f the privy council on July 9, 1896. His record aince that lima has been evidently pleasing to the people. He settled the Ye*ed school question in Manitoba so as to take it out o f politics altogether.

nifitration in other f«= spects has been satisfactory to thaelectorate. On his visit to England in 1897 he received almost regal honor. In the same year he was the recip­ient of unusual honors from the pope nnd Ihe president of France. Sir Wil­frid on his return was met with ac­claim in numerous cities o f Canada,

Wm. A. Brady, a daring prospector in the dramatic field, has found an­other gold mine In Clyde Fitch's droii and dait^play 'Lovers’ l^ane," which isc crowding the Mahattan to capacity. It is a fresh wholesome portrayal or small town life, full o f local color am. realism. It introduces Quaint anu humorous characters and unfolds a love ataay that l» neither mawkish nor ineretrictious. "Lovers’ Lane," is the kind of,p lay that people go away and

to their rfiends and which can be seen more than dnee with pleasure and profit. There are no surer tests ot popularity than these. The play's the thing— not the players, although Wm. A. Brady has supplied an excellent ettat and very beautiful scenic Illusions "Lovers Lane," does not depend upon stars or pictorial splendors, although it has been supplied with Doth. There are frequent occasions when crowds are so great as to force the sicians from their places. On Monday, March 15, the 60th performance will be celebrated with costly souvenirs.
