A quiet scheme is being Induitrlenaly worked looking te a continuance of tbe soldiers' erphaus schools, which will be closed en the fimt Monday in June unless additional legislation bn passed te prolong them. Tu6bu sobeols have cost the state about nlnn millions since their establish ment in 18G3, and If the leglslatarehearkena te the manageta of the various institutions in which tbe soldiers' children are being clothed, fed and educated, this large amount will be likely lnereased te ten millions. Among tbe men meat Interested In continuing the sobeols is ex Benator Wright, who has derived immense profits through Uiem. It la stated en what seems geed authority that Mr. Wright recently bad a consultation with a considerable number et members of tbe Legislature, during 'which he made a strong move toward tbe modification of the law ae as te postpone the dissolution of the schools te a mera remote period than next June. Others who reap financial benefits through these schools are oe eperatlng-wlth Mr. Wright 1p bis efforts te continue them and all that Is needed te enable them te aoeompllah their object IB a petition te the Legislature iremtbe Grand Armyet the Republic, setting forth tbe Importance of keeping them open a few years longer. It is said that tbat organization la against this sobeme, but tbe managers and ethers interested in tbem count upon the ex soldiers te stand by tbem. Governer Beaver would get the everlasting thanks of these men It no recommended tbeoentlnnanoe of tbe soldiers' erphaus sobeols, but it is understood that he has suggested that the pupils In the schools at tbe time of disband, ment shall be removed te normal schools In order te further equip them for the battle of life. Ex Senater ureer, one ei me inspec tors, doubts the wisdom of tbe polley of the governor, and would. It Is said, net object te have tbe noheola oeuilnued several years, although the cost te the state is nearly f 360, 000 a year. m Ate Viva Dexmi If gge, Hnslls and AIL A boiler-maker named Howe, astonished tbe epleures at Saaefler A.

A doubting Themas accepted the offer and the freshest chicken fruit obtainable was .placed before the boiler maker. The latter, a hale and hearty rnoebaule, unbuttoned his vest and prepared for business. The first two dozen disappeared within half an hour, the eater apparently erjej Ing his meal. Me was net quite se fresh getting away with the third cozen, and took mera time still swallowing the fourth. He kept at work, however, and finally sucseeded In dispatching the last twelve, though net without efiert. His method waa a peculiar one. He took up one gg alter tbe ether, end after suck ing it dry teised the shell Inte his month, and, after crunching it Inte powder, aeraiinwrni that also. vVhtm he had finished his lob be drew from, his pocket a beer bottle rilled with alcohol used In a spirit lamp and dtauk down the fluid. Turning te tbe astonished spectators he offered te eat seven dczen mero without the shell, but no ene took blm np. Howe did net .teem soy tbe worse forwear next morning.

A Policeman Hunt te Jail, Policeman StUfc in Philadelphia en Hat uiday was sentenced te two weeka" impris onment for committing an aaiaultand bat tery en Mrs. Mary Files. The time has arrived at whleh policemen should be taught tbat the rights of eltleans and the preservation of law, vrbleu It la their duty te see maiDiaineu, uaiiuui violated with ImpuDlty," said Judge Alli Alli eon In sentencing FrleB. "Tbey should lesrn tbat tbe same measure will be exacted of tbem where they exceed their authority and violate the law as would be of citizens guilty of likoeflenses. Indeed, It may be that greater punlahment would be Imposed upon tbem because of their violation et the law whleh it la tbelr duty te enlerce and iMurn The nenular opinion, among Hem appears te be that they have the right te command citizens te de j uat a they eruer and If they de net obey they are In many cases treated most roughly."

Cbarlea Nichols, foremen et the compos Ing room of a Newark newspaper, met with a terrible experience en Saturday while hunting In the mentalns about Green weed Lake. While walking along the line of the railroad near Rlngwecd station Nlohels was suddenly confronted by a bear of un commonly large slz. Fer a moment tbe hunter could distinguish nothing but tbe white teeth and glaring eyes. Tbe bear was apparently as xnuuh bewildered as Nlcheis, for they both steed motionless for auversl seconds. Then tbe hunter "made for tbe nearest tree, up whleh he scrambled with ae activity that billed his gray hairs. In another moment the intrepid hunter bad unslung bis shotgun and was sending ahet after sholnte the oareMi of the animal But even this unexampled treatment brought no response from bruin. At length tbe eartrldgea were exhausted, and although tbe thermometer was down te 10 abeye zsre, Nlohels ai compelled te remain In his cramped position for four elid hours. It waa only when a train rushed cU te the station ter freight tbat relief came, and then it waa discovered that tbe bear was only a stuffed skin that hsd been placed there by a taxidermist for removal te New Yerk by tbe freight train. Mr. Nlobela' ahetgnn, however, had rendered the skin nseless, and be wUl probably have te buy It la order te avoid a lawsuit. TH. rarm.ra' Newa Mail II. Paid.

This is tbe first decision of a number et suchesses. Twe years age tbe bullesa est and patent grain swindlers operated In a large way In tbla state and part of Southern Penn sylvania. The swindlers sold thetr grain as high as $10 a bushel, taking notes whleh were at once negotiated. The last legislature took the matter up and made It a mis demeanor te sell seed grain for mere tbsn twlee tbe regular prices. This broke up the swindlers, who had, however, acid all their notes te third psrtles. Payment'Ot these notes by the farmers ha. been put off, but this case decides that the third parties new holding tbe notes can recover.

The Manufacturer, a peper published by the Manufacturers' elub op-Philadelphia, ei whleh both these gentlemen are members, claims for the club a large share of the credit for tbe result and applauds a special committee of the club for its efforts In se curing contributions. Mr. Delan li presi dent of the elub. Mr. Wanamaker Is the leading whelesale and retail merchant of tbls city and perhaps or the country. His business Interests are Immense.

These amounts are altogether out of proportion te any le gitimate uaia te which money may be put In an eleollen, and Mr. Wanamaker Is net the man te make Indiscriminate Invest ments.
