minor under the age of fourteen years
within the limits of this State, unless
previously authorized in writing by the
parents or guardian of such minor, or
where such minor is acting solely as the
agent of his employer. The penalty
for the violation OF this act is fine of
not less than ten nor more than one
hundred dollars upon conviction, or in
default OF such fine, imprisonment in
Jail for not less than five nor more than
thirty days.
But laws are not self enforcing, and
laudable as this act is in Its purposes, it
is practically dead letter in the State
because the evil which it was intended
TO check is not generally recognized.
Besides, the law is easily evaded, as the
boy who is over fourteen can purchase
all the tobacco he desires and give it to
the boy who is legally disqualified TO
purchase 1t. And then, if the boys
fathers and guardians use tobacco and
smoke cigars of what avail is the law ?
Unless the parent sets the example in
the matter of the use of "the weed" all
laws restrictive of its use must be in
vain.
Public sentiment needs to be cult
waited on the tobacco question if the evil
OF cigarette smoking is to be checked
by legislation.

ANTI-POVERTY.
A Lecture Delivered by John Wauamaker

A Lecture Delivered by John Wauamaker
at Bethany Sunday School Building.
John Wanamaker delivered a lecture
Tuesday evening in Bethany Sunday
School building on "Anti-Poverty He
said that most of the books on this sub.
ject were written by men who did not
have to work for living. sit is not
true, as It is alleged in the Declaration
of Independence, that all men are born
free and equal. 1t never was true and
never will be; but hope God will send
the day when there won't be tie ex-
tremes of wealth and poverty that Row
exist, and when the parlor and kitchen
won't be miles apart in the same house.
1T is iavonte project of the Socialist
TO steal all the laud and slice it up SO as
to give every man a little whether he has
a right to it or not. Even then some of
the holders would lose their land before
the end Of the year. The thriftless man
would neglect his land and it would be
sold for taxes. We shall never all own
tbs same quantity of land uutil we lie
side by side in the graveyard.
tine Socialist would have the Govern
ment own every thing aud pay every body
his wages. There would be no psemium
on thrift or faithful work. You must
not rise above your neighbor; you must
be a slave to the lazy fellow who won't
work. Roebliug must build bridges for
81 week; Dr. McVickar preach for $25
a month and President Roberts get no
more wages than brakeman, no matter
by what study, or energy, or thrift they
have reached their high positions.
''Intelligence, honesty, talent, energy,
thrift and true religion are anti-poverUy."
Mr.. Wanamaker gave numerous Incl
dents in tue lives of men he had known
to emphasize the points OF his address.

RESTRICT the official privilege of a
member OF Congress and he will quickly
resent the indignity. 1t is to this
characteristic of congressional human
nature that we owe tie prompt passage
of the bill recently introduced in Con-
gress to modify the postal regulations
as to second, third, and fourth class
mail matter. As the law will stand,
mailers of second class matter may on
subscription books display index figures,
title, place of publication, name ard
address of publisher or sender, words
indicating date when subscription ter
inmates, corrections of typographical
errors and marks calling attention to
particular passages. Publishers or news
agents may inclose bills, receipts and
orders containing exclusively names,
place OF publication, price and amount
due.
The third class alteration allows on
wrappers the sender's name, business
and address, if preceded by the word
FROM" and mailers may make marks
other than by written or printed words
to call attention to text words or pas
sages. typographical errors may also
be corrected. One of the most accepta-
BILE notifications is that permitting a
simple manuscript dedication Or the
cover or blank leaves of books sent as
third-c class matter. Fourth class matter
has the same regulations as to name
and address as that OF the third class,
and mailers may send by that class any
mailable third-class matter. In addition
to the address proper, any printed mat
ter may be placed on the outside ''aot
in the nature of personal correspond
ence," provided space three and
a-half inches in length and two and
a-half inches in width be left for the
address on the front side or face of the
package.

THE question of restricting immigra-
ton is receiving considerable attention
from members of Congress, and it is
very probable that stringent bill will
be passed during the term. The peo-
pie OF this country are ready to welcome
immigrants of good character who are
able and willing to work and become
good citizens, but they do not wish to
have the country overrun with the con
victs, paupers, idiots and insane of
Europe, whose passages have in many
cases been paid by their government
for the purpose of getting rid of them.
1t IS to correct this abuse that some
action is absolutely necessary on the
part of Congress, and bill having this
end in view will meet with the approval
of the people.

The old adage that woman is to
woman most unkind,' finds a recent
verifcation in the career of Mrs. Cor
della Hendricks, who victimized wealthy
members of her sex to the tune of
thousands. l. is one of the wonders
of modern human nature how easily
other women succumbed to her be-
witching wiIes. Yet she seems to have
been able to rob number of her un-
fortunate sisters of their fortunes by her
enticing promises of "big" interest re-
turns. John Wanamaker seems to have
stopped her mad career in Philadelphia,
but bewildered women in Philadelphia,
Norristown, Hagerstown, and numerous
other towns, now wonder how they
could have been so beguiled.
