T7IIAT WILL EE GOIXG OX ABROAD
"AVhile a considerable percentage of the
millions who propose to break the monot
ony of life this summer by "a little journey
In the world" will seek recreation and en
joyment without the excuse of any definite
mission or errand, the majority will take
advantage of reduced railway rates and of
the society of friends and associates to par
ticipate in some great gathering whose ob
jects enlist their sympathy, writes Albert
Shaw, in the Review of Renews. Such will
tare a variety of conventions to choose
from. No summer ever saw more such gath
erings nor so important A brief outline of
she season in conventions follows:
IN TUn TOLITlCAIi TTOKLD.
Itepublican, Minneapolis Jnne 7.
Democratic, Chicaso, Jmio 21.
People's, Omaha. July 4.
riohibition, Cincinnati, Jnne 29.
Republican League, probably Buffalo, lato
In June
National Republican Convention
Little need be said of this great gather
ing at Minneapolis, Juno 7. The occa
sion takes on, quite apart from its political
aspects, all the features of a mammoth social
event Minneapolis is probably the most
enthusiastic community in America, and its
hospitality is boundless. Its perfectly
organized committees are not only arrang
ing to take care of the great body of dele
gates and alternate delegates who will be
present officially, but also announre that
they can and will give personal attention to
the housing and accommodation of as many
thousands of non-official visitors as may
choose to take advantage of the low rates
and the favorable time of the year to visit
the Twin Cities of the Northwest To this
end hundreds of palatial residences will be
thrown open to guests.
The enthusiasm seems, moreover, to be
altogether non-partisan, and to be born of a
municipal priue and spirit whose dimensions
.are simply colossal. The Exposition build
ing, a large brick and stone structure, some
3S0 feet square, has. by re-arrangement of its
interior, been converted into the largest and
finest assembly hall in America. It will
it-eat to perfect advantage, without any
crowding, an audience of 12,000 people. It
can readily accommodate more than twice as
aaany as the great Auditorium Hall in
Chicago.
NATIONALDEMOCRATICCONVENTION
Everybody is familiar with the details of
this great gathering, Chicago, June 2L Po
litically, the Democratic Convention this
jea." -promises to be the most interesting
'Snd important gathering of that party since
the outbreak ot the war. Viewed as a great
gathering ot representative Americans
from every nook and corner of the Repub
lic, it is less significant by far than the
Minneapolis convention, because its sole in
terest will lie in the political business which
irinrs it together, and it will have none of
the marks or a social occasion.
Chicago will make no special preparation,
but the convention will probably assemble
in a large temporary wooden structure, a
so-called "wigwam," which will seat about
the same number of people as will the Ex
position Building at Minneapolis. Memor
able scenes will be witnessed bv those who
are fortunate enough to gain admittance to
theseion of this great convention, which
w;H be composed of about 810 delegates and
a like number of alternate delegates. The
two-thiids rule that alwavs prevails in
Democratic National Conventions will add
both to the difficulty and to the excitement
of the choice of the 'Presidental nominee.
Pcorix's Party Convention. The
uncertain quantity in the political situation
this rear will be the new People's party,
representing the Farmers' Alliance move
Beat and various allied industrial and labor
reform elements. This party is the successor
of the old Greenback party and of various
third-jiarty political movements which,
under different names, have enlisted the
support of the Fame group of leaders.
Among the men who will be conspicuous in
the People's party movement this year are
President L. L. Polk, of the Farmers" Al
liance, Mr. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minne
sota, and Mr. James 1$. Weaver, of Iowa.
The National Convention will be held in
the city ol Omaha, Neb., on July 4. Each
ConzreVional district in the United States
is entitled to send four delegates, and each
State to send eight delegates at large,
making a total delesate body of 1,776. The
neit annual session of the Supreme Council
ofthc Farmers' Alliance and Industrial
Union will not be held until after the elec
tion in November.
National Prohibition Convention
The national Prohibition party will not
enter the field with the prospect ot any very
sweeping successes this year, but it pro
poses nevertheless to hold a large, deter
mined and enthusiastic convention. It will
assemble in the Music Hall at Cincinnati at
10 A. JL on June 29, for a two or three days'
tession. The call provides for 1,149 dele
gates and an equal number of alternates,
and an attendance is expected ot not less
than K.O00 people. While the Women's
Chri tiau Temperance Union as an organi
zation will not be repiesented in this cou
Tention, women arc eligible to places in the
various delegations, and undoubtedly a
number of the leading members of the W.
C T. V. will be sent as delegates. The
Prohibition Convention will be made up in
the follow ing w ay: Each State will be en
titled to lour delegates at large, and each
Congressional district and Territory to two
delegates, while lor cverv 1,000 votes cast
lor Clinton B. Fiske in 18S8 each State will
he entitled to one additional delcsate.
Lxaci-i: if Keithhcan Clubs One
of the most noteworthy movements in
political organization has been the forma
tion throughout the country of Republican
Clubs. These borties are composed lor the
most part of younz men, and their plan of
camjvsign is principally an educational one.
The President ot the" National League of
Bepubiican Clubs is Mr. J. S. Claikson.
The Lengue will not hold its convention
this year until after the Presidental ticket
has been nominated at Minneapolis. It is
expected that the convention will be held
oaring the last week ot June, and that
Buflalo will be announced as the place of
Meeting. As local centers lor a propaganda
of doctrine and opinion the clubs will have
3laycd a great part in the campaign of 1892.

National Educators Twenty years
ago the National Educational Association
was a small and obscure body; but it has
grown to be the largest association in the
whole world of men and women engaged in
educational work. Last year it met at To
ronto. This year it will meet at Saratoga,
N. Y., and an attendance closely approxi
mating 20,000 is expected. The "great
honor f the Presidency for this year was
conferred at Toronto upon Superintendent
E. II. Cook, Ph.D., at present Superintend
ent of the Public Schools of Flushing, N.
V. A new convention hall is building at
Saratoga which will seat some 5,000 people.
The meeting will open July 12 and continue
for several days. Upon "the programmes
are the names of very many of the most dis
tinguished educationalists "of America, and
the topics to be discussed are broad, timely
and practical.
Southern' Educators The Southern
Educational Association is a body com
posed of workers in the various depart
ments of education in the Southern half of
the Union. Its President this year is Prof.
Solomon Palmer, of Eastlake, Ala., Pro
Eugene J. Harrell, of Raleigh, N. C.,being
Secretary and Treasurer. It is to hold a
great convention at Atlanta, Ga., on the
6th, 7th and 8th days of July. A most
stimulating programme ha.' been prepared.
Institute or Instruction The Amer
ican Institute of Instruction is the oldest
organization of teachers in this country.and
probably the oldest in the world. This
will be its sixty-third annual convention.
It is made up chiefly of New England
teachers and their friends, but its sessions
are attended by many people from other
parts ot the country. Its forthcoming as
semblage will be at Narragansett Pier, R.
L, on the 5th, 6th, 7th and Sth days of
July. A profitable educational programme
has been prepared, and distinguished teach
ers will be in attendance. The President is
Prof. Kay Greene Huling, of New Bedford,
Mass.
American Association The most im
portant and inclusive scientific organization
in this country is the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, which per
forms the same function here that the Brit
ish Association fills in England. The for
tieth annual meeting of the American As
sociation was held in Washington last year.
The forty-first meeting will assemble at
Rochester, N. Y., beginning August 16.
The retiring President is Pro A. B. Pres
cott, of Ann Arbor, Mich., and the President-elect
is Prof. Joseph Le Conte, of the
University of California. The American
Association is divided into the following
sections: Mathematics, astronomy, physics,
chemistry, mechanical science and engineer
ing, geology and geography, biology, an
thropology, and economic science and sta
tistics. Prof. F. W. Putnam, of Cam
bridge, Mass., is Permanent Secretary. The
Association has a membership ot over 2,000.
University Extension Lake Chau
tauqua, in Western New York, will be the
Mecca of many hundreds of students this
summer; for besides the regular Chautau
qua summer schools and assemblies, there
ire to be several tpecial educational confer
ences. The University Extension move
ment within the past year has had a most
extraordinary expansion in all parts of the
United States, and it is important for its
further development and highest usefulness
that all the workers engaged in the move
ment should have the benefit of the experi
ence of those who have been longest con
nected with it and are most familiar with
its aim aud its mechanism. It is expected
that model lecture courses, training schools
for university extension lecturers, and free
discussions of various aspects of the work
will be features of this conlercnce, which
will be held during the week ot July 18-23.
Such leaders as Prot Melvil Dewey, Prof.
Herbert B. Adams, Prof. E. J. James,
Prof. E. AV. Bemis, and other authorities
in this line of educational effort, are ex
pected to be in attendance.
American Economic Association
Chautauqua has also been selected as a
meeting place this year by the-American
Economic Association, which will hold its
sessions from August 23 to August 26. This
organization includes most of thejeaders of
economic thought and study in America,
and it is the model upon which like associa
tions have been lormed in England, Austra
lia, Japan and elsewhere. Among the many
distinguished economists who may be ex
pected to attend this gathering are General
Francis A. Walker, who has trom its first
organization held the office of President;
Prot R. T. Ely, who has from the first been
Secretarv and chief executive officer; Hon.
Carmll . Wright, Prot. Henrv a Adams,
Dr. Washineton Gladden and Prof. W. W.
Folwell. The sessions of the association will
be open to the general public.
American Library Association
No men are nearer the heart of the present
great educational movement in America
than the librarians; and the American Li
brary Association, though not a very
numerous host, is made up of men who
exert an immeuse influence in the work of
public instruction. This year the associa
tion will meet at Lakewood, N. J., May 16
to 19, whence it will adjourn to Baltimore
to spend Friday, the 20th, and to Washing
ton for Saturday, the 21st. The association
is intending fo give particular considera
tion to the question ot the library exhibit
at the World's Fair. A post-conference
excursion through Virginia will occupy the
remaining days of the month.
Business Educators The extent and
importance ot the class of institutions
known as business or commercial colleges
in this country is not generally appreciated.
Last year the Business Educatois Associa
tion held a convention at Chautauqua; this
year its tourteenth annual convention will
meet at Saratoga, from July 7 to 14. The
business educators have formed an advan
tageous connection with the National Edu
cational Association. Several hundreds of
proprietor, principals and instructors in
business colleges are expected at this con
vention. Art Congress At Washington, on the
15th ot May, there is to be held an Art Con
gress underthe auspices of the National Art
Association. The principal or more immedi
ate object of this association is the removal of
the duty on foreign works ot art Another ob
ject is the advocacy ot a Government Com
mission of Art and Architecture. One of
the attractions of the congress this month
will be a loan exhibition ot paintings bv
leading American artists, in the chapel of
the Smithsonian Institution. The social
feature ot the occasion will be a reception
at the Executive Mansion by Mrs. Harrison.
The Secretary and moving spirit ot the Na
tional Art Association is Miss Kate Field.
Under Miss Fie'd's championship the cause
of free art triumphed in the McKinley bill,
as it passed the House of Representatives,
but the Senate in its inscrutable wisdom
saw lit to vote a duty of 30 per cent on art
works. A compromise of 15 per cent was
finally agreed upon in the conlercnce com
mittee ot the two Houses; but Miss Field
and the National Art Association will
never rest until the 15 per cent i wiped
out What the American Copyright
League has done for international litera
ture, Miss Field's Association is destined
to do for the promotion of art, and Miss
Field will deserve the cross of the Lecion
ot Honor quite as much as did the inde
fatigable promoters ot the copyright bill.
Mrs. Harrison is honorary President of the
Association, and the nation's Vice President
and Mrs. Morton are honorary Vice Presi
dents. The working President is Mr. Dan
iel Huntington, of the National Academy J
oi uesign.
Charities and Corrections. The
annual conferences of the men and women
specially concerned in the practical work of
charity, or with the administration of penal
or reformatory systems, have come to exer
cise an almost commanding influence upon
public opinion and upon State legislation.
This year the National Conference of Chari
ties and Correction will be held at Denver,
Col., June 23 to 29, and will be composed of
delegates appointed by the Governors ot
States aud Territories; of the members of
State Boards ot Charities; of the managers
of prisons and reformatory institutions; of
wotkers in institutions for the care ot the
defective and dependent classes, and of
philanthropists, social scientists and private
workers in the great field of charitable and
reformatory effort The Rev., Myron AV.
Reed, of Denver, is President this year.
The programme includes papers by numerous
distinguished specialists.
Social Science Congress. With
many newer organizations which occupy
themselves with one phase or another of the
range of subjects which belong to the yearly
programmes of theSocial Science Association,
this mature and well known body has still
an important place to fill, and its yearly
sessions at Saratoga, N. Y., are always
stimulating and valuable. Eminent among
the men who have for many years contrit
nted to its success are: Dr. Andrew D.
White, Prof. Francis Wayland, Mr. F. B.
Sanborn, and others of like standing. The
congress will sit this year from August 29
to September 3, and a carefully elaborated
programme is assured. The President this
year is Mr. H. L. AVayland, of Philadel
phia. IN THE RELIGIOUS WOULD.
Methodist Conference, Omaha, now In ses

American Board, Cnlcago, In October.
Quadrennial Methodist Confer
ence This is now in session at Omaha,
having begun May 1. It will continne for
a month. While this representative body is
not very numerous, consisting of 250 minis
ters and lou lay delegates, it stands lor a
membership of nearly 2,500,000 communi
cants, and it is the authoritative law-making
body of the Methodist Church. All other
bodies, great or small, are merely execu
tive. The question of admitting women as
delegates to the General Conference is not
unlikely to come up again, as four years
ago. A slight majority at that time was in
favor of admitting women, but a two-thirds
vote was requisite to accomplish the change.
Several other subjects ol blazing interest in
side denominational lines will occupy the
attention of the conference.
Christian Endeavor Convention
In point of numbers, the greatest conven
tion or assembly of the season will be the
annual convention of delegates representing
the "United Societies of Christian En
deavor." The Christian Endeavor societies
are young people's organizations connected
with evangelical Protestant churches of
various denominations. They have a simple
platform which puts far more stress upon
personal Christian living, and united ac
tivity for the moral and religious welfare of
their companions and the young people
about them, than upon any merely theo
logical propositions. The lounder of the
Christian Endeavor movement is the Rev.
Francis E. Clark, D. D.t who is now, and
has been from the beginning, the President
ot the united societies. The membership is
said to be rapidly approaching 1,500,000.
xne strengtn or tne movement lies in the
fact that it adapts itself easily and perfectly
to the local work aud conditions of indi
vidual churches, and that it possesses no
ambition to become a religious order apart
from existing church organizations. Its
great convention this summer will be held
from July 7 to July 10, in the wonderful
assembly hall of the new Madison Square
Garden, New York. It is expected
that 25,000 delegates from outside
New York City will attend. A num
ber of hotels have been engaged in ad
vance by the delegates, many thousands of
whom are coming irom the trans-Mississippi
States. The convention will be an inspir
ing sight The blase New Yorker may get
some new ideas it he will take the trouble
to look upon these assembled thousands,
representing the fresh-faced and honest
hearted young manhood and womanhood of
America. The "Christian Endeavorers"
have quite outlived all adverse criticism
whether from within or from without the
churches by their modest, steadfast, sensi
ble adherence to working rules of Christian
faith and practice. An organization work
ing upon practically the same line as the
Christian Endeavor, but confined within
the Methodist denomination, is known as
the Epworth League. It has a membership
of several hundred thousands. It will hold
no popular gathering this year, but in 1893
it proposes to hold a great national and in
ternational convention at Cleveland, O.
Y. M. C. A. Conference An import
ant undenominational gathering of religious
workers will be the National and Inter
national Conference of General Secretaries
ot the Young Men's Christian Association,
which convenes on May 26, and continues
until the first day of June. The meeting
will be held at Providence, R. L, in the
homelike and'Deautiful Y. M.C. A. structure
erected in 1890. General Secretaries re
presenting at least 500 cities and towns are
expected to be present
Baptist Anniversaries The great
annual folkmoot of the Baptists of the
United States ill be held this year
at Philadelphia, from May 19 to May 30.
The Baptists are sub-divided into several
but the leadins one, to which
reports a member
ship ot nearly 3,300,1)00 souls. The so
called "Baptist Congress" will convene on
Thursday, May 19, and sit lor two dsys.
This will be followed by conventions of all
the great societies ot the Baptist Churcn
the Woman's Baptist Home Missionary So
ciety meeting on May 22 and 23; the Ameri
can Baotist Histoilcal Society on the 23d;
the Missionary Union on the 24th, 25th and
26th; the AVornan's Baptist Foreign Mis
sionary Society on the 26th; the Home Mis
sionary Society on the 27th and 28th; the
Baptist Educational Society on the 28th,
and the Baptist Publication Society on the
30th. The Baptist Young People's Union
of America will hold several conferences
during the last week. The Baptists reap
great advantages from the arrangement by
which their various societies and enter
prises hold annual meetings together.
Presbyterian General Assembly
The General Assembly ot the Presbyterian
Church convenes at Portland, Ore., on the
19th day of May, nnd will probably con
clude its sessions on May 31. Its two prin
cipal topics will be, in common parlance,
"Revision" and the "Briggs Matter." The
question of the revision of the AVestminster
Confession will come up through the report
of the Committee on Revision appointed by
last year's Assembly, which met at Detroit.
Final action will hardly be taken, as the
Presbvteries will have to be "overtured"
again on the subject The heresy charges
against jltoi. uriggs, ot the
Theological Seminary, will recur on appeal
of a committee from the New York Presby
tery against the action of that body in dis
missing the subject. This New York com
mittee becomes a General Assembly Com
mittee of 'Prosecution. It is expected that
home missionary work will command the
particular attention of the Assembly, from
the lact of its AVestern place of meeting;
but from present appearances the theologi
cal questions involved in Prof. Briggs'
views upon the authorship and inspiration
ot the Bible will dwarf all other subjects.
EnscoPAL General The great gath-
ui x.jjiauuudiiuu uuuug iue present
nominations very strange that the Congrega
tionalists, who are notably generous in their
gifts for missionary propoganda, and who,
moreover, have stood historically for the
principle of self-government and representa
tion, should be content to conduct their
missionary undertakings through an or
ganization which, while of the most dis
tinguished and most thoronghly effective
character, is not directly accountable to the
Congregational Churches, although its mem
bership is almost wholly made np of Con
grcgationalists. The next annual meeting
of the American Board will be held in Oc
tober at Chicago. It is likely to give much
attention this year, as in previous years, to
tne controversy over tne manner oi determin
ing the precise doctrinal views of young
men and young women who offer themselves
as missionaries. In the Congregational
press of the country, this interminable con
troversy occupies far more space and atten
tion than all the work of all the board's mis
sionaries in heathen lands.
Lutheran Gatherings The Luther
an Churches of America are organized in
four general bodies, namely, the General
Synod, the General Council, the Synodical
Conference, and the United Synod of the
South. The General Synod holds no con
vention this year, but will meet in Canton,
O., May 24, 1893; and the General Council
of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of
Ind., in October, 1893. The United Synod
of the South will hold its next convention
this summer at Staunton, Va, One of the
most important of forthcoming Lutheran
gatherings will be that of the Evangelical
Ministerium of Pennsvlvania and adjacent
States, at Reading, on June 9, 1892. This
is the mother synod of the Lutheran Church
in America, having been organized in 184S.
Hebrew Occasions So far as we have
learned, there will be no popular assembly
coming summer. The American Hebrew
Publication Society Will meet at Philadel
phia on the first Sunday in June, and the
meeting of the Central Rabbinical Confer
ence iso be held in New York City in July;
but these gatherings have little bearing
upon general questions.
" Salvation Army May 17 there will be
a great inter-State Salvation Army demon
stration at Carnegie Music Hall, New York
City, and on the following day dovotional
meetings in the Association Hall an Twenty
third street In Boston, on May 27, there
will be a demonstration in Tremont Temple
in the aid of the memorial building fund.
On the 16th of July a Salvation Arm v camp
meeting will open at Old Orchard. On July
23 the Commander will speak at Chautauqua
upon the social side ot the Army s wort: in
the United States, and on tire 28th addresses
will be made at Prohibition Park, Staten
Island, on the effects of Salvation Army
work upon the liquor traffic. '

this notice refers, now
year is the Ueneral Convention, which
meets at Baltimore on the first Wednesday
in October. This is the triennial conven
tion ot the whole Protestant Episcopal
Church ot the United States, and it prom
ises to have special interest this year.
The American Board The Congrega
tionalists have, within "recent years, adopted
the plan of a National Triennial Council;
but this year they have no denominational
gathering. Even the missionary societies
which thoy support hold separate conven
tions and have none of the popular denomi
national character that belongs to the
splendid May meetings ot the Baptists.
Unlike the other evangelical denominations
of the country, the Congregationalists have
no foreign missiouary society of their own,
but preler to give their ofierings for mis
sionary work into the hands of the "Ameri
can Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions," a distiuct, undenominational
corporation, self-elective, which has always
played a very distinguished part in loreign
missionary work, but which at pres
ent attracts secular attention chiefly
through the acrimony of its theo
logical dissensions. It seems to other de-

The Knights Templar Quite paral
lel with the preparations Minneapolis is
making for the entertainment of the Na
tional Republican Convention, and even
more elaborate, if possible, are the hospita
ble plans ot the city of Denver, Col., for the
reception of the twenty-filth triennial con
clave of the Knights Templar. The local
committee of the Knights had early in
April assigned definite quarters to more
than 50,000 applicants for hotel accommo
dation, and it is confidently expected that
100.000 visitors from all parts of America
will bo in Denver on the 9th, of August,
when the conclave will open with a grand
parade. At no preceding triennial gather
ings of the Knights have there beeu any
arrangements ot a more munificent and
splendid character than Denver is now per
fecting; aud the whole State of Colorado is
making ready to give a royal welcome to
guests of both coasts and every corner of
the land. From 500 to 1,000 Pullman cars
will stand at convenient points upon side
tracks during the conclave, in expansion of
the hotel capacity of the city.
The Grand Absiy This great assem
blage will meet in Washington, at the cap
ital of the country and in sight of Arling
ton, where so many thousands of their com
rades of 30 years ago lie buried. The at
tendance will reach scores of thousands.
The Commander in Chief this year is Gen
eral John Palmer, of Albany, N. Y., and
the date fixed lor the encampment is Sep
tember 20. At last accounts the Grand
Army had a total membership of 398,067.
The annu.il meeting of the Women's Relief
Corps, and some other kindred organiza
tions, will be held at the same time aud
place.
Sons op Veterans This vear the
annual gathering of the Sons of Veterans
will be held on August 8, at Helena, Mon.
It will be a delegate body, and the number
of representatives entitled to vote will be
only a few hundreds: but it has been cus
tomary for a large number of visitors to at
tend the annual reunions. Mr. Russell B.
Harrison, the son of President Harrison, is
chairman of a transportation committee.
Medical Gatherings Perhaps the
largest ot the yearly prolessional confer
ences of the country is that of the American
Medical Association. It will hold its forty
third annual session at Detroit, Mich., Juiie
7-10. This convention is made up of dele
gates who receive their appointment irom
permanently organized State medical socie
ties, and from such county and district soci
eties as have regular representation in their
respective State associations, together with
delegates from the medical departments of
the Army and Navy and the Marine Hos
pital Service of the United States. AVilliam
B. Atkinson, M. D., of Philadelphia, is
Permanent Secretarv. The societv works
in 12 sections, each dealing with some depart
ment of medical science or practice. Some

Discovery Day The 12th of October
will be celebrated throughout America as
the lour hundredth anniversary of the find

President Bonney, of the AVorld's Congiess
Auxiliary of the Chicago Exposition, has
issued an address regarding the observance
of the day. There will be a great gathering
at Chicago for the purpose ot dedicating the
Exposition grounds. The day is likely to
be observed throughout the Union as a holi
day, and in all the public schools of the en
tire country, probably by proclamation of
President Harrrison and of the Governors
of all the States, there will be held com
memoration exercises with a uniform pro
gramme prepared by the superintendents of
education a commemoration in which it is
estimated that 13,000,000 school children
will participate.
Labor Organizations Organized
labor has not in prospect any of the great
popular gatherings which have been held
in several former years, but the national
organizations of a number of special trades
will meet at different date3 during the
summer. The Knights of Labor have not
yet announced the place of their annual
AMERICAN SUMMER SCHOOLS.
Chautauqua Summer schools, both
general and special, have become so numer
ous in the United States that a complete
list of them is a very difficult thing to com
pile. It will be admitted in all directions
that the largest and most elaborate of the
general schools is at Cautauqua. Dr. Will
iam R. Harper, President ot the University
of Chicago, is principal of all the educa
tional work that centers about Chautauqua.
The Chautauqua College this year opens
July 6 and continues nntil August 17. Be
sides the Chautauqua Collegea number of
special schools will be in session. Thus,
from July 6 to 27 Colonel Francis Parker,
of the Cook Countv Normal School, Chi
cago, with the assistance of nine or ten
specialists in the training of teachers, will
conduct a department ot pedagogy. From
July 6 tos August 17 there will be in opera
tion a series of schools of sacred literature,
under Prof. Harper and various other dis
tinguished theologians and scholars. Dr.
H. R. Palmer, of New York, trom July 15
to August 19, conducts a school of musio
with a number of assistants. Dr. AV. G.
Anderson, of Brooklyn, is at the head of a
school of physical education, and the mis
cellaneous classes which will be in opera
tion cover a great range of subjects.
Bay View Probably the largest sum
mer university in the country except
Chautauqua is that which has for some
years been held at Bay r View, Mich. It is
announced that Prof. Eiehard T. Ely will
henceforth be in charge of this university
as its principal. The annual attendance at
Bay View, which is charmingly situated at
the head of Lake Michigan, reaches 25,000.
It opens this year on July 12, and closes
August 10.
For Teachers As a summer school de
signed particularly for teachers the Martha's
Vineyard Institute, the fifteenth annual
session of which opens on July 11, claims
for itself "the honorable distinction of
being the oldest, the largest, and the broad
est summer school for teachers in the United
States." Its attendance last year was over
600. Another summer school particularly
for teachers will hold its eighth annual ses
sion at Glens Falls, N. Y., during the three
weeks beiinning Tuesday, July 19.
The Universities. AVhatever may be
said o( some other of Harvard's recent inno
vations, there can be but one opinion as to
the broad and generous spirit that has been
shown by President Eliot and the governing
uouies oi xiarvuru, in mrowing open tue
facilities of the institution to all who may
choose to enter upon one or more of a most
inteiesting and stimulating variety of
special summer courses. These include for
the summer of 1892 four courses in chem
istry, two in botany, two in physics, three
in geology, three in engineering, two each
in German, French and physical culture,
and single courses in physiology, American
history, socialism and social problems, trig
onometry, horticulture, English, history
and art ot teaching, besides courses at the
medical school and general lectures free to
students iu any ot the courses. Most of the
work begins about July 1 and continues
some six weeks. The good example of Har
vard is now to be followed at Ithaca, N. Y.
Summer courses will be offered at Cornell
University this year, its libraries, labora
tories and museums being opened during
six weeks of July and August

AVASHINGTON, May 7.
HE quiet talk which
is going on among
the Republicans in
discussing the next
Presidental situa
tion often includes
Secretary Rusk
among the possibili
ties. There is no
doubt that Uncle
Jerry.has many ele
ments of popularity,
and though he positively says he will not
be a candidate before the convention and
that he is body and soul for Harrison, his
strength with the farmers makes him a
strong possibility.
His sturdy honesty would appeal to the
people, and the stories of his having worked
as a cooper at 25 cents a barrel, of his having
driven a team and carted dirt for the build
ing of a railroad and of his stage-driving ex
periences would bring him right down to
the people and give him something of the
same boom that President Lincoln got from
his rail-splitting. Speaking of Secretary
Rusk's stage-driving, I heard a new story
last night which illustrates his lack of snob
bishness and at the same time gives an idea

Jerry Knows What the People Like.
It was when Uncle Jerry was running for
Congress and his opponent was a man who
had made a fortune in lumber and one of
the charges made against him by a speaker
at a joint debate was that he was nothing
but a log-roller and the people wanted
something better than a lumber man to re-
of the United States he will be the second
President who has risen trom the office of
Sheriff to the highest position in our land.
i.ne story ot bow he got nis omce is inter
esting. It was shortly after he had come to
AVisconsin, and while he was living on his
iarm in tne country, tnat a man drove up to
his house in a buggy, which was pulled bv
a single horse which looked pretty well
fagged. The man seemed uneasy and he
told Uncle Jerry that he had been riding
very fast, and that he had started out so
early that he had not had time to get his
breakfast and he asked for something to eat
He was given a meal and he drove away
rapidly. A. few hours after this the county
officers came up and said they were hunting
a horse thief, and from their description
Uncle Jerry had no doubt but that the man
of whom they were speaking was the one
who had passed on in the morning.
Now, near Mr. Rusk's house the roads
forked, and no one knew which road the
horse-thief had taken. The officers decided
to go one way, and after they hadleft.Uncle
Jerry, thinking it over, decided that the
thief must have taken the other road, and
he took a fast horse out of bis stable and
made after him. After riding many miles
on a gallop he at last saw the man last
asleep in the buggy, and the horse walking
quieuy along tne roaa. lie quieuy jumpeu
down from his horse and grabbed the man
before he could wake, and tying his hands
together he bound him to tht buggy, and
thus brought him back to town. The ex
ploit was so noted that at the next election
General Rusk's friends put him up for
Sheriff, and he got the office after an enthu
siastic campaign.

The forces behind AVilliam IL are such
as have never been cultivated in Russia,
whose Czar lives iu hourly dread of assassin
ation, and whose people are so many items
of"official budget, so many units in a mili
tary report, says Poultney Bigelow in the
Century. The Germau Emperor walks
about the streets of his town as fearlessly
and naturally as any other man, although
the life of his grandfather was twice at
tempted. One day, in November of 1891,
he was walking with a guest through the
narrow and crowded thoroughfare ot a city
not far from Berlin. The sidewalks were
narrow, and, as the Emperor is a fasj;
walker, he frequently had to stop out into
the street to pass other pedestrians and es
pecially clusters of people who stopped for
a chat
His companion, who had been in Russia,
was struck by the democratic manner in
which the German Emperor rubbed in and
out among porters, fishwives, peasants
and the rest ot the moving crowd, chatting
the while, and acting as though this was his
usual manner of getting about He was
struck still more by the lact that no precau
tions against a possible mmderous fanatic
appeared to have been taken, and ventured
to speak of this. The Emperor laughed
heartily, and said: "Oh, if I had to stop to
think ot such things, I should never get
through with my day's work."
ACTIVITY OF THE BRAIN.
present them in Congress. Secretary Rusk's
opponent followed and he said it was true
he had been a log-roller, but ha had rolled
logs by proxy. He had hired others to
do his work for him and he, in fact, had
never worked as a lumberman.
AVhile this man was speaking Uncle
Jerry had arrived and be was sitting be
hind him on the stage. As he closed he
jumped up to his feet and walked out to
the front of the platform and said: "Gen
tlemen, my opponent it seems is ashamed of
being charged with being a laborer, and in
his nice, aristocratic way he boasts that he
has had others do his work for him. He
says that I owned a stage line, and I want
to' say to you right here that he tells the
truth' and that I am proud ot it I not only
own a line, but I have driven the stages
myself and I drove them well and no man
who went with me ever got left and this is
what I want to tell you concerning this
Congressional canvass. If yon get into my
stage you will be in safe quarters and I will
get yon there every time." As General
Rusk said this there was a shout of ap
plause. A fer days later he was elected.
The Rich Lands nf Florida.
Speaking of Secretary Rusk, I had a chat
with him the other day about the wonder
ful work that is going on in reclaiming the
swamp lands of Florida. A large part of
lower Florida is susceptible of easy drain
age. The land at its highest point "is only
72 feet above the sea, and it is cut up by
such a set of lakes and streams that a small
amount of dredging will give the water a
natural outlet and vast tracts can be re
claimed at a small expense. The richness
of this land can hardly be conceived. It
surpasses in its fertility the valley of the
Nile and the soil is a jet black or brown
muck, which is from 3 to 16 (eet deep and
which is mixed with a natural phosphate so
that when cultivated it produces most
wonderful crops.
General Rusk tells me the soil looks like
peat, and it is made of the rotten vegetable
matter f ages. It contains so much fer
tilizing material that some of it would sell
for 510 a ton, could the nitrogen in it be
brought to the market Some of the land

The Terlod TThen It TTorkt Best Diners

Disregarding states of excitement, which
do not come within the scope of the ques
tion, the brain of a healthy man or woman
living a simple and natural life would be
most active as soon as the process of awaken
ing is quite complete. But as the demands
ot civilization gradually abrogate the pro
cesses ot nature, the period of highest in
tellectual activity will vary according to
the condition of the individual mode of life.
The biain ot the literary man or the jour
nalist is, as a rule, most active at night, al
though a study of the lives ot the most cele
brated writers will, it should be added, dis
close a wide variety of period and method
of work.
Again the highest capacities of some
brains are only developed during the time
that the mind is on the border-land between
sleeping and waking. It is thenhat the
brain, shut off, as it were, irom the confus
ing influences of the external world, seems
to concentrate its energies upon its stored
up impressions, to review them with mar
velous accuracy and scope of vision, and to
recombine them into new shapes and proj
ects for the future with a clearness and
originality unknown in actual waning life.
This laculty is, however, almost entirely
confined to the higher orders of intellect

Improved Appliance In Sketching.
Some of the many who wilt spend a large
portion of the next few months' of their lite
in the open air will be interested to know
that a new appliance has been brought out
for facilitating the making of sketches of
landscapes, buildings, etc. The device com
prises an instrument to enable a draughts
man to mark off' on a sheet of paper the
relative position of as many points in the
view as may be considered necessary to ob
tain a correct representation. This instru
raent is based on the well-known method of
measuring with the pencil nnd thumb. One
form of the appliance resembles a pair of
compasses, with a fixed limb between the
two legs.

thousund acres in sugar cane and about
6,000 acres of it in rice. It is very valuable
for the raising of vegetables.
How Slnlen TVpHr Snow Shoo.
I asked General Ruk how these lands
were worked, and he told me that the plow
ing was done by mules who wore snow shoes
or mud shoes to keep them trom sinking
into the muck. These shoes are round thin
disks, ench 18 inches in diameter, which are
fastened to the hoofs of the mules nnd which
work exactly like a snow shoe. The mules
do not like them at first, but they soon get
used to them, and it is lound that "the plow
ing can be done in this wav.
General Rusk tells me that there ore large
phophate beds in Florida, and that there is
a strip of these beds which is 20 miles wide
nnd 150 miles long, and this is filled with
the most valuable of phosphates. The field
is not definitely mapped out as yet, and
new phosphates are being found. These, in
connection with the muck lands, promise to
make Florida one of the richest States in
the Union, and English capitalists are
making large investments in the phosphate
lands, and I am told that they will have a
monopoly of them if Americans are not
careful. The chances for investment in
these and in the muck lands are said to be
good, and Prof; AA'iley, who has just re
turned Irom Florida, predict that this will
be the market garden of the United States.
He tells me that the dredging and reclama
tion of new lands is going steadily onward,
nnd he gives a rosy report of the success of
the sugar experiment station of the Agri
cultural Department.

3Ir. Elkins lived next door to Grant In
New York and the two were close friends
during the last year of Grant's life. I had
asked Mr. Elkins as to how General Grant
impressed him and he replied: "He talked
about himself and his great actions in the
most simple wav and was surprised that he
world thought he was more than an ordin
ary man. I remember chatting with him
once on the porch of my home in Deer Park
when the conversation turned to his ap
pointment as a cadet at AVest Point at the
request of Congressman Harmer. After
telling me how Harmer came to appoint
him he turned to me and said, 'Do von
know, 3Ir. Elkins, Harmer thought I had
something in me.' Something in himl He
uttered this as though it were a surprise to
him, and as he did so I looked at that great
bundle of greatness and wondered.
"At another time in the same language,"
continued Secretary Elkins, "Grant re
ferred to Lincoln s opinion ot him as
though he were surprised that he should
hold it It was one night when we had
dined out together, and, after the dinner,
had dropped into the Union League Club
for a moment before we went home. AVe
were both members of the club, though we
seldom visited it This nicht. however.
General Grant was in a chatty mood, and
as we passed the club he proposed that we
go in and rest awhile before we went home.
How Grant Felt in Battle.
"AVhile we talked the battle of Fred
ericksburg came up, and Grant told me all
the details of that terrible fight As he fin
ished I looked at him with wonder and
asked:
" 'General, I have often tried to imagine
how a man feels when he is in the midst of
some great transaction which he must know
is to change the face of the world, which is
to affect the condition of millions.and which
is bound to go down into history as one of
man's creat deeds. Can you not tell me
your sensations in the midst of one of those
great battles? AVhat did you think ol?
How did you feel?'
" T don't know,' he replied simply. 1
can't say I felt anything, save that I "knew
I had to whip the war, and I was bound to
do it'
"General Grant then fell into a reminis
cent mood and went on somewhat as fol
lows: 'Yet as I look back upon it I feel that
I have had some very trying times in my
li!e and I sometimes wonder tnat x am able
to stand the strain. It was hard when I
was fighting the South. It was harder
when I felt that back of us there was a
divided North, a part of which were ready
to find fault, and I knew that many of the
leaders of our own army were against me
and were trying to break me down. But,'
he concluded, 'President Lincoln was
always my friend. He stood by me through
thick anil thin. Do you know Lincoln
thought there was something iu me.' "
Grant as a College Professor.
"It is not generally known," 3Ir. Elkins
went on, "that Grant applied for a profes
sorship in the University of Missouri before
the war. It was at this college that I was
educated, and had he succeeded I would
have been taught my mathematics by him.
He made the application in 185i. He was
at St Louis at the time, and was at the end
of his resources when this vacancy occurred
in the Chair ot Mathematics. General
Grant wrote a modest letter to the Board of
Trustees in which he stated his qualifica
tions and his needs, but another man got
the place. I talked with General Grant
about it a year or twobelore he died, and he
said:
" 'I think I could have filled the place
quite well. I was pretty well up in mathe
matics at AVest Point, but if I had gotten it
I pre'uiue I should not now be here.' I
must lave been in my sophomore year when
Grant made his application, for I graduated
iul860." Feank G. Cakpentek.
iWErrTKf ron the dispatch.!
Thomas Stevens has entered an earnest
plea for the bicycle as a factor in modern
hygiene. He holds that bicycling has al
ready been of incalculable benefit to man
kind, physically, socially, morally, intel
lectually and commercially, and that the
probabilities of its expansion along thesa
and other vital lines of human concern ar
beyond compute.
It is a popular error to suppose that bicy
cling exercises no other part of the body, to
any extent, than the legs. As a matter of
fact, every muscle of the body, every fiber
of the vital man, is brought into healthful
play. It is doubtfnl if any other form of
exercise can compare, in the fair and equal
distribution of physical eQort and mental
alertness, with bicycle riding in the pure
country air. Mr. Stevens recommends the
lawyer, doctor, minister, banker, editor,
professor or teacher, whose sedentary moda
of life ha1! been insidiously filchingaway his
reserve of health, to give a month's go-by to
"health lifts," "Swedish movements," mas
sage treatment, Turkish baths and indoor
exercises of all kinds, and to invest 5150 in
a high class safety bicycle, and "take to the
road."
He speaks enthusiastically of "sipping
with strange delight the dew and honey of
health from pleasures the very existence of
which is unknown, even unsuspected, by
people who do not ride the bicycle. The
sensation of skimmins across country at
the rate of 10 or 15 miles an hour is bnt a
short remove from that of aerial flight,
the dream of the future. The effect is
electrical on all the functions of mind and
body. The brooding cobwebs of the brain
are swept away in the tide of quickened,
oxygenated blood that courtes through the
veins in response to the new spirit of health
ana action.
Iu bicycling the lungs have all the action
they need, the muscles of the back and
abdominal region are exercised and strength
ened, and the doctors say that for sluggish
liver, the bane of sedentary men, the
pedalling action of the legs produces a
vigorous circulation ot blood that nothing
can equal as a remedial measure. A "wheel
man's appetite" has become a household
word, and the bicycler comes to look on
dyspepsia as a humorous dream of the past
Physicians now prescribe the "bicycle" so
often that it is fairly entitled to an honor
able place in the pharmacopeia.
The use of the machine by women is rap
idly extending, and has been the means of
making hundreds of girls of weakly consti
tution strong and robust Not long ago a
meeting of homeopathic doctors in Chicago
unanimously decided that bicycle riding
was "one ot the most wholesome and exhil
arating forms of exercise that women can
indulge in." The great danger to be
guarded against is the tendency to overdo.
A Good Tone on Ihn Plnno.
The wonderful object lessons which the
Americans have been able to avail them
selves of during the last few mouths in the
production on the piano of the ideal tone,
that approaching most nearly the quality of
the human voice, lend interest to a descrip
tion of the technical methods by which
pianoniakcrs strive to make 'this tone pos
sible on their instrument". Each of the
seven octaves requires a different treat
ment, and as regards rxttous the class of
action suited to one make of piano may be
totally unfitted for another. The exact
speed and power of blow are essential to
good tone. Much also depends upon the
shape and weight of the hammer.
Bricks niads ofSiwdnst.
One result of the various attempts made
in Germany to produce a building material
at the lowest possible cott is the brick of
sawdust The sawdust is immersed in a
specially prepared liquid aud then sub
jected to enormous pressure. The blocks
are said to be extremely hard, practically
non-combustible, much lighter than either
iron or steel, and much stronger than
timber.
Protective Coatlne for Pictures.
A good coating for the protection of maps,
pictures, drawings, etc., can be made of a
solution of Gutta percha in benzine. The
evaporation ot the benzine leaves a thin
film of the protecting medium on the sur
face to which the application has been
made. The best way of "fixing" crayon
and charcoal drawings is to spray them with
the fluid through an atomizer.
3Int as a Straily Diet
There will always be differences of opin
ion as to the respective merits of the various
kinds of food. The vegetarians point to
splendid specimens of humanity, brought np
in their faith and practice, as proof that the
products of the kitchen garden are the most
natural and wholesome food for man, while
the advocates of the various modern sys
tems ot physical training are just as em
phatio in their belief that animal food is
essential to the perfect physical and mental
condition of man. This belief Is in line
with the conclusions arrived at by an emi
nent American physician a few years ago.
He established a series of careful tests, ex
tending over a considerable period, and em
ployed a number of men by the month to
do nothing but take the kind of food he gae
them at whatever time and for whatever
length of time he desired. The physical
condition of these men was accurately
tested and recorded, and the results which
have been preserved are most interesting
reading. Oatmeal, which has quite a re
spectable reputation as an article of break
fast diet, was found to p a most desirable
food, and Johnson's fnition of it as an
article "used in England as a food for
horses and in Scotland as a food for men"
was thoroughly vindicated.
Vegetables were placed very low in the
scale of nutrition, and most of them were
found to do more harm than good. The best
results in every way were secured from a
meat diet It is beyond question that many
races of men who live entirely on animal
food are exceptionally hardy and free from
diseases of all kinds. Sir Francis Head
lived for some time with the Pampas In
dians, who have neither bread, lruit nor
vegetables', but subsist entirely on the flesh
ol their mares. These men pass their lives
on horseback, and in spite ot the climate,
which is burning hot in summer and freez
ing in winter, go absolutely naked, not hav
ing even a covering for their head. Sir
Francis says that alter he had been living
for three or four months on beef and water
he found himself in a condition of superb
health, and felt as if no exertion could kill
him. Although he constantly arrived at
the camp so completely exhausted that ho
could not Kpeak, a few hours' sleep on tho
ground, with his saddle for a pillow, always
so completely restored him that for a week
he could be on his horse every day before
sunrise, ride until two or three hours after
sunset, and when necessary tire out 10 or 13
horses a dav. He considers that the condi
tion necessary for covering the immense
distances which people in South America
are said to ride could only be attained on
bsol and water.
Another confirmation of this view of the
diet question is afforded by the practice of
the Gaucbos of the Argentine Republic,
who live entirely on roast beef and salt,
and whose sole beverage is mate or Para
guay tea, taken without sugar.
