The opposition to the proposed Nica- ?uan treaty Is growing "Upnger. In c rations are that It will have as trou i rsome a path to follow as the Co- nblan treaty, which proposes tb pay Mombla $3,000,000 and express "sln r re regret" on the part of the United S ates. The Senate, Foreign. Relations Com r ittee Is going to bare all the facts t th reference to the Nlcara'guan pact, "his treaty proposes virtually to estab 1 sh an American protectorate over Mcaragua. and the committee wants to know just what Is back of it. It Is alleged that the treaty Is a -heme to enable New Tork financiers i, feather their nests and to help the resent Nlcaraguan government sustain iself. The committee will proba the - j'mors and allegations of this sort, and robably will hold back the nomlna 'ion of Boaz Long to be minister to f-alvador until the Investigation Is made. Bankers to Be Called. Representatives of Brown Bros. & o.. of New York, and of the Sellg r ana are to be called to tell about the i terests they have acquired In Nica ragua. It Is admitted by Judge Charles 1 Douglas, counsel for Nicaragua, and personal and political friend of Secre ry Bryan, that New York bankers (on SI per cent of the National Ball ad of Nicaragua, and that a majority the stock of the National Bank of K icaragua Is owned by the same In terests. The committee wants to know are about these lwldlngs. and also rlsent a big bond issue which was ought In by American capitalists at a 'w figure, and which Nicaragua, It Is t Jd, will be forced to reden at par. Mr. Bouclas. who was srrUed Thurs day, will be subjected to another cros- r e .Monday. One Fact Pending. "tntlme, there Is no movement In t e Colombian treaty. It is pending in fcmmlttee. Some of. the Administration riers In the Senate want the Presi- c it and Secretary Bryan to withdraw e treaty until the Senate can conduct t Jnvesusation into the circumstances rereby this country obtained the Canal 7 ae. A resolution for such an investi gation is proposed, and. if it should be I r scd. Coloiel Roosevelt and William Jv'Kon CromwtU might be summoned.

Here's the Answer Here, Commissioner siddons, is your answer: A normal school Is called by that name because It establishes norms of teaching. It Is a school who3e methods are to serve as models Lor imitation. And "normal" comes originally from tlfc Latin "norma," meaning rule, or pattern. This with the compliments of the Bureau of Education. Ask It a hard one.

A number or flshonr.en have gont up to WVavurton and Hamers Ferry. where, reports say. good catches are jbing martc. Others 'vhc are fortunate enough to have friends at beneca or xho belong to one of tlw fishing clubs there havo spent some pleasant and re garded days at that place, for the small-mouth bass arc there, and In clined to strike at anything on prin ciple tarr'pg, of course, the days when a bans exerclrcs Its prerogative of ifelng "choosy" and refuse to striko at all.

Miss Anne God lng. principal of the James Ormond Wilson Normal School, admitted that the question was most Interesting, but she "flunked" on the answer. Other educational authorities passed It up. Then the United States Bu reau of. Education came to the res cue. The term "normal school" crept Into English directly from the French "ecole normale." In 1731 the convention decided to create In Paris an ecole normale, "whore citi zens of the republic, already In structed in the useful sciences, should be taught to teach." Tho term waa transferred to Ens land In the thirties, and when tho first schools for teacher training were founded In this country, at Lexington, Barre, and Brldgewater, Mass., In 1S33 and 'VS. they, too, were called normal schools. the supposed snag is brought to the surface for an Instant, long enough for a glistening head, with 3 broad, fishy grin, to emerge then ihere la the flirt of a great forkeil tall and a plunge downward and the astou'shed fisher .iin may reel In his -broken line and awear off again.
