Our Boys

The Montrose Democrat publishe:
the following editorial on "0ai
Boys which might oe read with
profit BY our own citizens:
We understand that among the
young people Of our borough the
question is being seriously discussed
as to what means can be devised
whereby our young men can pleas
urably spend their evenings in an
atmosphere of refinement and NOR
atty.
This is certainly a most COM
mendable agitation and We hope
that good results may follow. To
the proposition that some kind Of
amusement must be provided there
will be undoubted unanimity, but
right there will, we presume, De
found the point Of divergence. What
. constitutes proper amusements has
always been a subject tor disagree
ment and if our people of Montrose
can amicabiy solve the problem,
they viii have done wonders. To
some, dancing parties at private
houses would seem right and prop

abomination- The gathering of the
young folks from time to time 20
indulge in games Of euchre, whist,
nuggins, backgammon, etc, would

but the very idea would be repug-
nant 70 others. A reading room

ters and promptly pronounced too
prosy by those who understand the
nature Of boys. Even the old fash
ioned kissing games would be
frowned upon by some good people.
20 We might 90 through the whole
list of amusements and there would
be objections raised TO any PROPOSE
tion which might be made. Bear
N mind It Is the average boy who

ally studious. pious and quiet boy.
Bows must be taken Just as they are,
restless, active, fond OF fun and not
kindly disposed toward prudery.

you try TO III them to a pr0srustean
bed Of morals, they viii certainly
kick and squirn and get away from
you Many persons who profess a
deep interest in young men would
accomplish much better results if
they would peddle fewer tracts. look
less austere, get 2 little closer to the
young and make themselves more
agreeable.
II a young man wants to play a
game Of cards, It Is far better that he
should do so at home, or In private
house with young ladies, than to
play in the dingy back room of a sa-
loon. If the boys want 10 dance q
little and will be content to remain
in the society of home if they can

It might be well TO indulge them, if

off the streets.
Ii you are going to reach out and
attempt to catch the boys, don't
tempt them with the bait of q

them with live bait, something that
Is toothsome and pleasant. and your
endeavors will be rewarded bOunti-

the Flesh Of the Dead

HALIFAX, April "A dory with
two men living and two men dead
on board drifted ashore at Guyon
Island, Gabarus, Cape Breton, on
Monday. They had been eight days
out trom their vessel, which wax left
on the western part of Grand Bank.
The name of the schooner has net
been learned. A dispatch from Lu-
isburg, C. B., gives the experience of
those who were in the dorv. They
got aGrift from their vessel, the
American schooner Elseem Law,
while setting travis on the Western
banks and not discovering their yes
sci they all got in one dory. After
four DAYS out one succGmbed
through thirst, and on the seventh
day another. who had become in
sane, died. On the eighth day the
survivors landed at Guysn Island,
where they were kindly cared for
by the keeper of the lighthouse,
who sent them here. The body of
the man who died first is greatly
lacereted. One OF the arms Is cut of
at the elbow. the throat Is much
torn, and pieces are cut out OF each
thigh This was done after the
mans death by the other man who
died, in order to obtain food and
drink.

BIG FIRE IN KENT.
The Kent Iron Works Almost Entirel,
 DeafroYed by Fire.

The Kent Iron Works Almost Entirely
 Destroyed by Fire.
 The Kent iron works in Kent, Conn.,, were almost entirely destroyed by fire Saturday morning. The fire broke out at 8. m., and as near as can be learned destroyed five buildings used for storing charcoal, in which there were about thirty thousand bushels of coal. The furnace building was. also de- stroyed. The Kent iron works are located about three-quarters of mile above Kent Station. The principal building was con- structed around the huge furnace where iron ore was melted into pig iron. The mines of the company are two or three miles distant. For the manufacture of pig iron great quantities of charcoal are used and the supply is stored in bins which stand under large sheds. MT. John H. Hopson stated | Saturday that he had seen $100, 900 worth oi | charcoal under cover there at one time. He could not state how much fuel the company | had stored at present, but the value must be great. The works have been burned out | several times before.

Good Samaritans, Meeting.

A crowded audience gathered at Good Sa- maritans' hall, 817 Chapel street, last night, every seat being occupied. William H. Conklin presided. The speakers were Rev. J. w. Denton and A. F. Purefoy. John P. Gardner oficiated at the piano. After singing two selections by the audience Chap lain J. A. Moore offered prayer. 0. Mooney sang "When You Are Tempted Boldly Say Mo-" the audience joining in the chorus. After introductory remarks by MT. Conklin, Rev. J. w. Denton was introduced. MT. Denton's remarks were forcible and logical and were listened to with deep attention. The next speaker, MT. A. F. Purefoy, made an equally interesting address, which con- tained much food for reflection. In response to the invitation for signatures five persons came forward and took the pledge. Miss Adelina Saunders, the well known and gifted elocutionist, delighted the audience with a reading, which was rendered in an admirable manner. Messrs. E. Northrop and John P. Gardner treated the audience to musical selection, MT. Northrop playing the cornet and MT. Gardner the piano. Their efforts were appreciated and applauded. The new piano at the Good Samaritans' meetings is quite an improvement on the organ which was formerly there. 1t is the purpose of the society to repaper the hall and otherwise inn prove the room and make it comfortable and attractive. A singing class will be formed next Thursday evening and all who wish to join it and assist in the meeting are invited to be present.
