Educators who have given the sub ject consideration are almost unani mously in favor of abolishing the ^nral independent districts, making "the township the unit, reducing the tj^e cost of administration and pro iidiaar batter schools for the chil dren. gOZ EMAIL'S TRIAL SHIP.

New York. kptrltacn o£ a« American Family Who Were Travella* la Germany. Many have .been the dolrful stories of travelers returned from Europe auent the extortionate charges im posed upon long suffering Api ricans in the hunts across the Atlantic. And now comes a distinguished Chicagoan who declares that in Germany recently he was charged for fresh air, says the Chronicle. With his wife and family he was jour neying in a railway train. The air in the stuffy little compartment becom ing stale, the wife of the Chicagoan asked him to communicate with the guard. In each compartment in Euro pean railway trains is a handle connect ed with a bell rope leading to the guards' cab. Near the handle is posted a notice warning passengers that the guard is not to be summoned except in desperate cases, such as murder, etc., under penalty. The Chicagoan could not read Ger man, but he knew that his wife wanted fresh air, so he gave the grip a lusty pull. The train, which was on express, slackened speed and finally came to a full stop. The guard and the engine driver rushed back excitedly, expect ing to discover something very dire in deed. By virtue of signs the Chicagoan explained what he wanted. Thereat he was greeted with a storm of abuse and he was very near being threatened with personal violence. However, the guard and the engine driver returned to their posts and the train proceeded. When the Chicagoan and his party ar rived at their destination he was met at the railway station .by a jabbering mob of officials, who promptly haled him before an august functionary, who managed to inform him that his little gaye-ty with the bell cord would cost him just :10 marks, which he must pay or go to prison. The Chicagoan tool: the former alternative. CRIMES IN THE ARMY. They Are Found to Be Fewer Dar ina Active Military Op erations. ! The tabulation of the cases of sui cides and homicides which occurred in the army during the years 1K98 and 1899 are compared in the annual report of Surgeon General Sternberg with the cases which occurred during the ten years, 18S8-97. Contrary to the general anticipation, it is found that there were among the troops during the past two years relatively fewer homicides than during the years of the previous decade, and that Gu inean annual ratio of suicides per thousand men was about S 1 /- times greater during tlie decade of peaceful garrison life than during the recent period of active military service, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The average nutnber of suicides per year in an army of 27,110. for the ten years, 1888-97, was 17. The ratio per thousand, was .03 per cent. The strength of the army in 1898 is given at 147.705, the ujerage number of sui cides, 38; anil the percentage per thousand, .20. The strength of the army in 1899 is given at 105,540, and the number of suicides at 30; ratio per thousand, .28 per cent. During the ten years from 1888 to 1897 the homicides are given at. 5.5 per cent., and the ratio per thousand, .20 per cent.; for 1898, the number of homicides at 19, and the ratio per thousand, .13 per cent.; for 1899 the number of homicides at 23, and the ratio per thousand, .32 per cent.
