GET WELL AND STAY WELL GET RID OF WHAT MAKES YOU SICK AND STAY RID OF IT. It 1s so simple to be well that we wonder why there art so many sick people. Come to think about it, must be because they don’t know what's made them sick. If they knew that, they could prevent it, and when they were sick im somc cases cure themselves. But so long as we don’t take more care of our health we shall always he more or less sick. ‘The simple rules of health are: Keep clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour out your stomach. ‘This last means: Don't tolerate indigestion, Cure it with Digestive Cordial.

Ohio, Sunday night between a score of Hungarians and as many Irishmen, in which many men were stabbed. Dirks. knives and clubs were freely used, and nearg” all of the combatants were more or irss injured. Two men were taken to the kespital in a dying condition, two others cannot survive their wounds, and seven others are dangerously wounded. ‘The place where the trouble occurred is on Franklin avenue extension, near Colum- bus street, a locality thickly populated with fiungarians and Irish-Americans. Joseph snd John Sprends and James Carter be- came engaged in a street quarrel. In the melee John Sprends drew his pocket knife and stabbed Carter several times in the head. Meanwhile Sylvester Carter, father of the boy, arrived. He struck one of the Spren He was immediately knocked down and stabbed in the head and back. He will die. By this time all the Hungarians on the hili came out and took a hand in the row. The word was quickiy passed among the Irish that an Irishman was being killed. In an instant fifty or more Irishmen were on the scene. Mor: Hungarians came. Everybody was arme i either with knife or club. Clubs were raised and knives were used. A patrol wagon packed with police eificers dashed into The police found lying on the battlefield James Carter, who was stabbed in the head and had his skull fractured; his father, Sylvester Carter, twenty stab wounds: Billy Malloy, twelve deep stab wounds and head ppesed to be fractured: Adam Shierman, stabbed three times; John O'Neill, stabbed in face and back: Henry Schaefer, clubbed into inscnsibility; William Zirker, cut in head and injured internaily. Malloy was unmercifully clubbed slashe and He was stabbed in the head and ly a dozen times. After receiving the first cut he tried to escape by running down Franklin Hill. He was pursued by the Hungarians, who kept sinking their knives into his back while running. , He finally dropped from weakness. P Shierman received two stabs in the head and one ugly gash in the right shoulder Blade, and a portion ef the blade is still in his back. The police arrested Joseph and John Sprends, Michael Zebrok thirty years old; John Kousshler, twenty-four years ol Anton Pallash, twenty-one years old: Michael Zirka and John Spousler. They were lodged in jail, charged with rioting. ———+ e+ —____ “RUBBISH,” SAYS ROOKER. He Dentes the Stories of Dissensions Among Catholics. It was an erormous crowd that went to hear the Rev. Dr. Z. K. Rooker, secretary of the papal legation in this city, preach at the celebration of the feast of St. Cecilia at St. Agnes’ Church, in East 43d street, New York, Sunday morning. Many went expecting that Dr. Rooker would refer to the reports of dissensions between Cardinal Satolli and Archbishop Ireland. In his sermon he said not a word on the subject, but afterward, seated in the rectory, he talked freely. Dr. Rooker was pleased to have the op- portunity of denying that anything put harmony ruled. “It's all rubbish,” laughed he, “that there is any trouble at Washington. Cardinal Satolli and Archbishop ireland have had no falling out, and the story that ireland said that Satolli was his friend here and his enemy at Rome is without foundation. Why, Ireland has received a letter from Satolli, in which he tells him now he has commended the archbishop to the pope for his good work for the church in the United States. “Nothing has been said or done about the archbishop’s letter coming out for gold. If Archbishop Ireland made any votes by ~ the republicans ought to do something for him. As an ecclesiastic Archbishop Ire. land took no part in the campaign, nor did any of his priests, and the subject was never mentioned in the pulpit. What he said as a man and as a citizen concerns no one but himself. “As for affairs at Washington, thing is pleasant there. Archbishop Mar- tinelli is very much of a gentleman and just as bright and courtecus as he ean be. But personally he is totally different from Satolii. Nevertheless, we are all immense- ly pieased with him. “I have read it in the papers that three of the professors at the Washington Unt- versity have been removed, but no one in the delegation heard this. I don’t think it is true, or that they will be removed. Two of them are engaged with their class- es as usual, and the third would be were it not that he is laid up with typhoid fever.” every- ——— ae DID NOT KNOW OF THE ELECTION. One County in Georgia That Failed to Vote for Any Ticket. A special telegram to the Philadelphia Times from Atlanta, Ga., says: There is one county in the United States that did not know of the national election, and that is Chariton county, Ga. The ofti- cials in the office of the secretary of state are authority for the declaration that the people of the county could not have known of the election, for no election was held there, and the official digest of the election in Georgia has been made up with Charl- ton left ont. ‘The famous Okefenookee swamp covers most of the territory of Charlton county, which is on the Florida line, and, indeed, runs down into Florida. According to the maps there are several towns in the county, with Traders’ Hill as the county seat, but all efforts of the secretary of state to get returns from there have proved unavailing, and it is claimed as a certainty that no electicn was held.

CHURCH DIAMOND. JUBILEE How the Event is to Be Oclebrated at St. Peter's. Handsome Decorations and Altars for the Sanctuary, W! Consecrated Next Extensive preparations are being made to celebrate the diamond jubilee of St. Peter's Catholic Church, corner of 2d and C streets southeast, and of which the Rev. Father James O'Brien is pastor. it was decided some time ago that the me- morials of the seventy-fifth year of the church should take the form of decorations to the sanctuary. Two of these decorations in the shape of side altars ave already in place; one is the .gift of Mrs. Andrew Leonard and is in memory of her hus- band; the other has been furnished by the church and resembles to a large extent the former altar. Mrs. Leonard has also given a statue of the Immaculate Conception. It is of the finest ‘Italian statuary marble and was made in Italy. The figure is flve feet in height and rests on a crescent, beneath which ts the serpent with an apple in its mouth. The robe {fs ornamented with flowers skiilfully carved and the marble is so delicate that when a lighted candle is placed bekind the veil covering of the head the light shines through. This statue is over the altar to the Blessed Virgin. The altars are of Carrar1 marble, with decorations of sienna columns and bronze tabernacle deers. ‘The dimensions of each altar are as follows: From the base to the top of the statue, 12 feet; to the top of the reredos, 9 feet, and width of the table, 8 feet 6 inches. The table rests on four yellow sienna columns with white ala. In the center of the reredos the tabernacles with bronze doors. On the right and left of the tabernacle are arenes, resting on carved columns of white marble. The Mair Altar. The principal addition to the sanctuary will, however, be the main altar, which is now being made in Italy. It was expected that this altar would be erected by De- cember 1, but it is probable now that it will be complete not much before Christ- mas. The sculptor who has charge of the work is V. A. Fusigna, and from the ad- vanced sketches which have been made it is thought the rew work will be compared favorably with anything of the kind in this city. Its main portion will be of moau- mental marble, but the decorations will consist of onyx and bronze. The table of the altars will be supported by four col- umns dividing the front into three panels, carved in demi-relievo. athe center panel will be emblematical of the revealed word of God, indicated by the lamb of the sacrifice surrounded by a nimbus and other emblems. One of the side panels will have a sculptured cross, anchor and crown, embellished with pas- sion flowers containing amidst the foliage a dove. The other panel will show the Sacred Heart of Jesus, surrounded by pure white roses resting amid which are two doves. Just below the edge of the tavle vill be a frieze. ithe tabernacle door will be made of handsomely decorated bronze. All the bronze used in the construction of the altar will he so treaied that it will retain its luste* for a long time. From the base of the altar to the top of the cross over the main pinnacle will be 21 feet; extreme width of the altar will be 17 feet, while the width of the mensa will be 14 feet. Rising above the tabernacle from the center will be an open pinnacle, surmounted by a splendid dome of bronze. The architect has made this dome and the decorations hammered into it one of the most striking features of the altar. It will be supported by a column of bronze, and inside of it will be a statue of St. Peter carved cut of white Carrara ble. myust above the tabernacle door, and be- tween it and the base of the pinnacle, is to be a crucifix let into a niche. To the right and left of the main pinnacle there will be a side pinnacle, one on each side, some- what similar to the main one, though, of course, slightly smaller. They will also con- tain statues of the adoring angels, instead of St. Peter. ‘The reredos will rise between the columns to a height of 12 feet. The front of it is to be embellished by six pil- lars of onyx, with richly carved capitals and bas The altar will be reached by three steps of onyx. The style of the ar- chitecture is Byzantine. The cost of the Je altars, the main altar, and the statues will reach well up into the thousands, and, all in all, will be probably one of the finest | picces of work in Washington. One of the fost of the diamond jubilee celebration is_to the consecration of these altars. It is expected that this cele- bration will take place some time during the Christmas holidays. The original St. Peter's Church was first dedicated in 1821. It was erected on ground presented by Daniel Carroll of Duddington. The old church was torn down in 1889, and the present edifice of white marble was dedi- cated in November of 1890. eee BLACKBURN GIVES UP. Kentucky's Senator is Persunded That He Cannot Be Re-Elected. Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press. LEXINGTON, Ky., November 22.—Sena- tor Blackburn held a conference here last night with his friends, State Senator Saiyer and Judge Hazelrigg of the court of appeals, which resulted in Blackburn determining to give up the fight for re- election to the United States Senate at the coming extra session of the legislature. He has found that the sound money demo- crats who supported him last winter can- not be depended on to vote for him this time, owing to the bitterness growing out of the recent campaign. Judge Hazelrigg, in ar interview, said he was satistied that Gov. Bradley would be elected to the United States Senate,, which lends color to the report that the Black- burn men will support Bradley in order to defeat Carlisle. Blackburn will then run for governor of Kentucky to fill out Brad- ley’s unexpired term. + o+—____— SHOT BY HIS NEPHEW. Prominent bama Planter Killed for Horsewhipping His Sister. Jokn S.

THE DISTRICT SCHOOLS Result of an Inspection by the Board of Surprised by the Magnitude of the System—Metheds Generally Approv- ed— Manual Training. Gen. Ellis Spear, chairman of the board of trade committee on schools, has submit- ted the following report: “The committee on schools have speat as much time as possible in visiting schools of the District, in inspecting the school buildings, in examining the system under which the schools are conducted and the manner ir. which the work is done under that system. “The first duty imposed upon the com- mittee was a very pleasant one, and con- sisted in arranging for patriotic addresses to the scholars on the occasicn of the celebration of the anniversary of the birth ef George Washington. The suggestion was made by yourself and this committee very cordially co-operated in the prac- tical execution of the suggestion. Very many members of ‘the board of trade and other prominent and public spirfted citi- zens kindly consented to address the schools upon that occasion. The time al- lowed and the novelty of the work did not permit the extension of the plan to all the sckcols, but in all the larger and more important, and in very many of the small- er, patriotic and instructive addresses were made to the scholars. The report in every instance showed that the exercises, in which the children joined, were in a very righ degree interesting and were doubtless predvetive of very great benefit. Your comnittee have been very agrec- ably impressed, in thelr examination of the schools, although that examination, much to the regret of the committee, has been very incomplete. The school houses, though, perhaps in some cases not sufli- cient for the complete accommodation of the Scholars, are well arranged, well ven- tilated and ‘well kept. We inspected the basements and the basement accommo- datiors and found them very complete, ex- ceedingly clean and well ventilated, and in gced sanitary condition. The school rcems alse we found well ventilated and well suited to their uses. A Great System. “The magnitude of the school system in this District had not before been appre- ciated by us. We find that, including the night schools, there are about forty-five thousand pupils under public instruction in, this District. It is a matter of common remark, but the import of it dees not seem always to be fully comprehended, ,that these forty-five thousand scholars are un- der training to take the place of the men and women of _ today, and that the work of the principals and teachers is the most important that is dore in the community. Our examination has confirmed us in the belief that this work is well done. We are unable, in the time allowed us, to to inte any detailed ac- count of the system of instraction or the particular manner in which it is carried out. The central idea, however, of the system appears to us to be in harmony with the primary meaning of the word “education.” The objects sought to be ac- complished are not so much the cramming of the children with facts and informa- tion, as the training of them to observe and reflect, and to express orally and in writing the results of the:r observation and reflection. The children are taught, begin- ning with the lowest grade, to exercise both the mind and the hands. Manual and mental instruction go together. The chil- dren in the lowest grade are ied to ob- serve the simplest things, to note accurate- ly their parts and appearances, to count the parts and then to state in their own ianguage what they see. As the instruc- tion proceeds it goes from the simplest to the more complicated, and as the subject ‘amined includes a greater number of parts, the expression of it proceeds also from simple to more complicated expres- sion, and the simplest sentences increased by addition to the compound sentences, The teacher stands over the child and cor- Tects his articulation and instructs him in the use of words. ‘he system seems to be orderly and ou philosophic principles. It is rot at first book learning, but it is the foundation of book learning, which is orig- inal cbservation and reflection. Then, when the children have been taught for themselves to some extent, to see and , they are introduced to books; and, from refiecting and describing what they have scen of things, they ure led to ob- serve and explain what they see in books. Having (unconsciously, perhaps,) found out the necessity of the use of words and forms of expression in thelr attempt to de- seribe what they heve seen in things, they are in better position to appreciate the werds and sentences in the descriptions which they find in the books. Minds, Eyes and Hands. “This idea is devel®ped in other and high- er graces, and the minds and the eyes and hands of the children are trained together by this method. In its higher develop- ment the system takes on more practical forms and the children are taught prac- tical work; the girls sewing, and the boys carpentering and blacksmith work, and the corstruction of machines. These practical results have appeared to us to be of the highest importance and we have been sur- prised at the excellence of the work done by the boys and girls in the industrial de- partment of the schools. It seems wonder- ful that so much could be accomplished by the childrea in learning to sew, in wood workirg, aud in metal working, by the use of very few hours each month in the in- dustrial rooms; this work being apparently incidental to the general system cf in- struction. The result must be that while all the scholars are better trained and learn something of great practical use in after life, many of those having higher opportunities for special work musi ac- quire a sound beginning of skiljful, prac- tical workmanship. “An elective clement runs through the whole system in the higher grades, so that those having special aptitudes can devote more time to special subjects. ‘We were pleased to observe that, to a very large extent, at least, the teachers were really instructors and were in men- tal contact with the children, giving them personal inspiration and stimulating their faculties as well as correcting their er- rors and supplying them with informa- tion. Rich and Poor. “We visited schools in different parts of the city, where the children are under different conditions in iife, and have Giffer- ent home advantages. It aprears to us that the children of the poorer people are more benefited by the schuol system than are those of the richer. As much is done for one as ‘or another, but fcr some the intellectual atmosphere of the school room, the intellectual stimulus and direc- tion and the instruction in correct speak- ing and writing, and in practical knowl- edge, are more urgently needed. “We strongly commend the District schools to the favorable attention of the board of trade. We believe that a per- sonal inspection of the schools by their patrons, and the public spirited people of the District, will ke in many ways bene- ficial. We think especially that the in- dustrial feaiure of the school should be favored and extended. We believe that it is of the hig test importance to a very large class of the people that the girls should be taught sewing and cooking and that the boys should be taught to work in wood and metals. We were surprised to find how much had been already done in this direction, although with cramped and imperfect facilities. We believe that the District should have a building specia!ly devoted to the higher grades of this work. In this respect the District is far heisind the schools of many other and smaller cit- jes in the ¢ aud we believe that the money could in no wsy be more prefitably spent than in the erection of a building with proper ejuipment, for this branch cf the school work, &nd we very earnestly urge those interested to visit these indus- trial schools and to inspect the industriai feature of the schcols of the District.” G —_——+ A Proposed Co-Operative Colony.

The communication in The Star Thurs- day under the hedfing “No Weight at the Earth’s Center” seems to have developed quite a difference’tf opinion on the sub- Ject. In the artiéle credited to the St. Louis Republic, which started the contro- versy, it was stated that if a 100-pound ball could be dropped into a hole through the center of the earth it would come to a dead stop the moment it reached the center. , 3. K.,"" in the communication Friday, took exception to this view and held that the ball would*keep moving from sur- face to surface through the center for- ver, and would not become stationary at any point. “0. C. G., writing to The Star, suggests that It would be a good thing to settle the matter once for all by leaving it to Profes- sor Stmon, Newcomb, or one of the other astronome#s at the Naval Observatory. On his. own account he furnishes a solution, using the ordinary formulas of physics in support of his contention that the ball would never pass the center of the earth. He says: ““g. 8. K.’ states that the center of the ball would have acquired its highest ve- locity and would continue to the other side of the earth with retarded velocity until it came to rest at that surface and then would fall back to-the other side, ad in- finitum. To do as ‘S. S. K.’ says, it must have its maximum momentum or energy at the center, ie, the. momentum and energy must be at a maximum at. the carth’s center. It seems clear, and ‘S. 8. K.’ admits it, that the weight and mass of the ball at the earth's center will be zero, and if they are zero then the momen- tum, the energy und the velocity will also be zero, as. zero substituted in the for- mula for mass will reduce these formulae to zero, and no redson is seen why the ball will not come to rest at the center just _as staled in The Star. “The truth. of the matter is that after the ball has left the earth’s surface on its journey to the center it no longer (ap- parently) follows the same law as that of a falling body dropping to the earth from an outside point, but scon finds that it has left a certain mass of the earth behind it in its trafl which attracts and retards the ban; and altnough its velocity for a time, at first, apparently increases, according to the formula, V equals the square root of 2gh, in which g is the ‘attraction of grav- ftation,’ 32.2 ‘Ibs:, ‘and h fs the height through which the ball falls, this velocity will gradually cease to follow this formula as the mass of eorth it leaves. behind in- creases. The point will be reached when the retarding force is greater than the im- pelling force, and will act as a drag on the ball, so that’ {t wil).finally come to rest on the first drop, at the center, as stated in The Star.” Some, Other Opinions, Another writer says: “There Is a decided flaw In the argument of S, 8S. K. Let usi suppose the ball to be at the surface, aboat to begin its fall. It would now be attracted by the entire mass of the earth, and tts acceleratian due to gravity would be equal to the value of gravity at the earth's surface. But, sup- pose It to be at some point, eay, one thous- and miles from the earth's center. At this instant it is surrownded by a shell of the earth, 3,000 miles in thickness, which does not attract it in any way, and all that does attract it is the remainder of the earth, a spkere 1,000 miles in radius, con- centric with the earth. Consequently, at this instant, the ‘gttracting mass being less than when the bail.was nearer the surface, the acceleration will be less and the speed of the ball will be diminished as it ap- proaches the center of gravity. When thé’ ball teat ‘the center, there will be no dttracting mas of the earth, and the 100-Ib. cannon. ball will remain sus- rended at the center of gravity, instead of pursuing its course of endless vibration as Mapped out by 5. 8. K.” An ingenious, if not accurate, solution is submitted by W. L. Lightbourn, who says: “That the supposed hole would necessar- ily be filled with atmosphere with increased density at the center of the globe, which would offer considerable resistance to the motion of the falling ball—enough per- haps to make it quite warm, or even hot— and thts resistance would prevent its reaching the surface on the other side and in like manner would shorten each suc- ceeding flight until finally it would come to rest at the center of the earth and re- main suspended there until crowded out of position by some heavier mass.” The original answer and that of S. S. K. are both wrong, according to X. Y. who writes as follows: “By one of the laws of physics, the weight of a body above the surface of the earth decreases as the square of the dis- tance from the center of the earth, Le. a ball weighing 100 pounds at the earth's sur- face, on being elevated, gradually decreases in wetght in proportion to the square of the distance from the center of the earth. At the equator it would weigh less than at any other point on the earth’s surface, that por- tion of the globe being farthest from the center. At an elevation of 1,000 miles, ac- cording to the above rule, the 100-pound ball would weigh 64 pounds, and by con- stantly increasing the distance from the earth's center the ball bécomes proportion- ately less, until a point is reached in in- finite space where it will have no weight whatever. “By a similar deduction, which seems reasonable, for we are dealing with theories’ of science, by decreasing the dis- tance, the ball will become heavier. At the poles, it has been’ demonstrated that the same object weighs more than at any other portion of the earth's surface, because of the globe's flattened condition. “If it were possible to reach the center of the earth by this imaginary hole, the ball would Increase in weight in a direct propor- tion as the square root of the diminished distance, until at the very center the ball Would have its greatest relative weight, and be as stationary as ‘dead wood.’ ” es THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.
