70 ply their callings on the score Of youth,
still there il much that il worthy OF more
than local consideration IN what the Cbn-
ssitusion says. In the Seattle city prison
the other day there were no less than
eleven young fellows under Is years Of
age, serving sentences for petty crimes.
With few exceptions they were confirmed
IN their vicious courses. Most Of them
had served out many previous sentences,
to Be discharged only 10 return again
within brief period. Some have become
20 hardened that they boast preference
for stealing rather than to work for two
dollars day.
And yet to look ct them, some of them
fairly intelligent, it would seem hard to
admit that they are beyond the reach Of
reformatory influences. Here would seem
to be promising field for missionary
effort. It might fail, but even IN occa-
sional success would compensate for much
wasted endeavor
Perhaps injustice is done by this sug-
gestion. Perhaps it Is the practice Of the
ministers and members of our churches to
visit these waits and labor in this feld.
But if not, it would seem to be worth the
while, not only of ministers and church
members, but Of all humane and public
spirited citizens to give the matter atten-
ton. It is terrible to think of these
young fellows pursuing lifelong career
of crime when, perhaps, few kind words,
little friendly counsel and kindly help
ing hand might divert them into pursuits
Of honest industry.

journed today sine die, without having passed
any of the radical bills which had aroused the
fears of business men in the community aud
caused so much unfavorable comment through

aimed at corporations OF all sorts, in fact about
all the semi-communistic and agrarian measures,
died in one house or the other.

Four-tenths Of an inch Of rain has fallen
In Central Park during the past twenty-four
hours, and the reports to the Commissioner
Of Public Works show that the water in the

inch since yesterday.
The rainfall In the Croton watershed was
nearly three times as great as that in the

The increased volume OF water poured into
the Croton Lake from all It's tributaries and
raised the level OF the lake twenty inches, or
within i've feet OF the crest OF the Croton
Dam. 1t was ten feet below the dam few
days ago.
SO much water fell that Chief Engineer
BirdsaIl had the gates shut at the Buyds
Corners and Middle Branch reservoirs.
Commissioner Gilroy said to-day that he
thought that yesterdays storm has post
poned the danger OF famine Indefinitely.
Until all the storage reservoirs In the Cro-

he Will not relax any OF the restrictive regu-
