NEW YORK, September 1S.-One of the
most revolving cases of cruelty to chill
dren, and at the same time the worst
example of Drunkenness and depravity
in police records, was brought to light in
this city today. Owen Hefferan, hod.
carrier, was arrested for assaulting his
daughter Mary Jane, aged Is. Besides
the father and mother there are three
children in tie family, Mary Jane, John,
aged z, and Julia, II months old. Hef
feran had a leg broken several weeks age
while ct work, and his employers con
tinued his wages. The greater part o.
the money was spent in drink. Between
10 a. m. and 8 80 p. m. today the CIR
brought him sixteen pints of mixed
drinks. During the afternoon Hefferar
got up ugly, and when his wife sale
something to him he struck her, blacken
ing her eye. His daughter Mary Jane
interfered, and the ruffian seized her by
the hair, dragged her across the room
and threw her down in front of the stove
Holding her by one hand with the Other
he seized kettle full of boiling
water and began to pour it on her body
Tee girl screamed, but her brutal father
emptied every drop of boiling water il
the kettle upon her before he stopped
Her cries brought up other tenants, who
when they saw what the brute had done
called policeman and had him arrested
The mother sat stupidity looking on q
her daughter being scalded, never inter
fering to save her. The girl is so badly
burned that her recovery is doubtful
An agent OF the Chiidren's Society anl
two policemen had to break in the doc
to get possession of the remaining chill
dren. The mother was lying drunk OF
the floor in a mass of filth and rags
which served as a bed. Her infant
sickly looking and suffering terribly from
neglect, was being rocked in broker
cradle by the 7-year.old boy. This boy
is an imbecile. He was taken charge o
by the society, and the infant was lef
with its mother for the night.

How Cultivation Brings About
Climatic Changes.
WASHINGTON, September 1S-Statisti-
clan Dodge, of the Agricultural Depart
ment, just returned from a trip to the
arid lands, has prepared statement re-
ferring to the traneitions in progress
which mark the advance of rural science
and practice in the mountain regions. 1t
shows how two hundred miles of desert"
beyond the fatal barrier of the one hun
dredth meridian, is being carved into
productive farms without the aid of irri-
cation. Itdoes not claim an increase of
rainfall, but change of climate.
In cultivated districts there is more
humidity of the atmosphere, and
dews unknown before are among the
new sources of prosperity. The key to
the rain belt is farming, viz: deep piow-
ing, subsoiling and frequent cultivation.
Processes the very reverse of these were
practiced by the pioneer farmers.
Among other transactions indicated
are the removal to higher elevations
Of ranch herds, the improvement of farm
animals of the best blood, and a ten
dency to the consolidation of ranch and
farm ideas. Irrigation problems are
touched upon and six principal
methods of water utilization limited at,
viz. natural falls, irrigation by water,
dew, locally available mountain storage
basins, collection and distribution of un-
derground currents by galleries and
canals, pumping and artesian wells.

WHAT is the attitude Of parties towards
Trusts? The Democratic Convent ons
this year have repeated their denuncia-
tions of these combinations to abolish
competition and arbitrarily fix prices
They have called for the repeal of such
tariff duties as foster and protect these
conspiracies. And in New York espe-
cially a Democratic Administration has
brought and pressed to an initial success
suit against one of the most offensive Of
them-the Sugar Trust. The Republi-
can Conventions, on the contrary, with
one or two exceptions, have been as
silent on this question as they have upon
Civil Service Reform.

THERE is nothing sensational at this
stage of the game in the theory that Cronin
was killed by agents of the British Gov

suspected that Piggott was murdered in
order to close his mouth from telling all he
knew of the plans of the Tory Govern

reduce all Ireland to condition of sub.

The bids should be rejected.

No QUESTION public spirit is the main
spring that puts the influences in motion
out of which grow great cities. Chicago
enjoys an exceptionally fine CONNER
cial position, but if men of less nerve,
push, energy and sagacity had settled
there, the development of the resources
of that city would have been correspond
ingly slower. Portland, Oregon, is a
place inhabited by men of rare public
spirit. They have at all times forced
their town to position good deal
ahead of the times in everything that
goes to make a city grow rap
idly. They have built an immense
industrial hall, and are now prepar-
ing to open display Of the

NAVAL AFFAIRS.
New Cruisers to be Built by the
Government

WASHINGTON, September 1S.-Secre-
tary Tracy made decision this afternoon
that will have an important bearing on
the future building of war vessels. He
decided to have the two 3,0O0.ton steel
cruisers provided for by the last Con-
gress, constructed at the Government
navy yards. 1t is almost certain that
one will be constructed at the Mare
Island navy yard.
1t is reported that THE contractors for
the construction Of the cruiser Charles
ton, the Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco, have decided to offer the vessel to
the Government for acceptance without
further trials. The vessel did not de-
velop all the requirements of the specifi.
cations, and if accepted probably the con-
tractors will assume the penalty therefor.
Secretary Tracy has approved the
findings Of the naval court of inquiry
appointed to investigate the circum.
stances attending the running of the
Boston upon the rocks in Newport har-
Dor, August Sd, last. The opinion of the
board exonerates the commanding officer
and navigator.
