HIS FRIEND.
"A Boys Razor Helps Him Out OF a
BAD Scrape Into Another One.

A serious razor cutting ARRAY occurred
yesterday afternoon at Riverside park,
in which a youth named John Crawford
was pretty severely cut on the face,
breast and about the waist with a razor
by a boy of IA years named San Dorse.
The particulars, as told by witnesses
was hat a man named Nc
Donald was swinging his wife
in one OF the swings. A tough hack
driver named Scott ROsenberger, who has
figured in the police courts since he was
9 little gamin. was in a crowd OF boys and
Young men, of whom Crawford was one,
made some insulting remarks about Nc
Donald's wife and Mcdonald proceeded
TO punish him, when the crowd took
part, and San Dorse, standing by,
went to help his friend, Mcdonald. The
crowd Jumped on him, and were noarly
killing him with blows ami kicks, when
he got out his razor and cut the boy,
Crawford, who was foremost in beating
him. He then escaped and ran through
the park. calling for help, with the whole
pack running at his heels, who
kill him. Finally he surrendered to the
lessee Of the park. Mr.. Kelly, who pro-
tected him until the mounted police ar
rived in response to a telephone message,
and he was then arrested and Crawford
taken home in a hack.
The boy was charged with an assault to
kill, and on examination before Justice
Adam this morning was held in bond TO
await the action OF the grand jury. Ro-
senberger and Mcdonald were arrested
and before the recorder this morning
Rosenberger was fined 80 and Mcdonald
was dismissed. The other members of the
party nave not yet been arrested. There
were no special police at the park, or
probably the affair could have been stop
ned sooner.

A young man with good clothes, stiff

There is one small boy in Brooklyn in
whom the true American spirit is just
trimming over He is a real boy and
doesn't want to be anything else. For
some time he has been attending dancing
school on the hill, where the youngsters
occasionally assemble in more or less fancy
array This youth, who has just reached
the mature age of seven years and some
months, on such occasions has been clad in
a lovely suit of velvet, with silken waist
and lace collar and cuffs of the pattern
made familiar by Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett's lachrymose little hero. The
other day he came home and it was appa-
rent at once that he bore burden on his
mind. Finally, to the establishment of the
amiable South oxford street family in
which he belongs. he broke out this way;
"Im tired of acting partp'
"Whats" said the family chorus.
ayes, I'm tired of acting a part. I'm
tired Of being Little Lord Fauntleroy.
The girls are all the time hollering, Hello,
Fauntleroyp and Pm sick of it."
Then turning toward the amazed family
circle he added, in tone of emphatic de
fiance:

THE POPE AND SOCIALISM

The full text Of the pope's encycli-

rope, but only few translated ex-
cerpts have reached this country. So
far as may be judged by these his
holiness has sought middle way be-
tween the two extremes of thought.
avoiding expressions calculated to give
ofense TO either the aristocracy of
capital and established institutions or
the democracy OF what is known In
Europe as the proletariat.
The pope is not held to be an infalli-
BILE authority except on questions OF
faith and morals, but the position he
holds and his well-known character fol
humanity entitle his utterances on the
labor question to respectful hearing

MEMORIAL DAY

Today a loving and grateful peo-
pie will strew with flowers the graves
OF heroes departed, with tender and
reverent care.
Although a quarter of a century has
elapsed since the departed warriors
sheathed their swords for the last
time. and answered the muster roll
OF the Great Beyond, there are still
traces of chastened sorrow in many
homes, for those who sealed with
their blood, the bond which kept the
Union whole, and made it possible for
a nation to survive the tiercest strug-
gle between brothers that the world
has ever known.
1t is therefore day, not for jocund
revelry, but of submissive sorrow.
Sorrow for the absence of those who
were, but are not, mingled with
spirit Of thankfulness, that the lives
which brave men offered for the pres
eryation OF their common country,
were not in vain; that it was through
the efforts of such as these, that we
are today a united and happy people.
The ghost Of dead past rises more
and more dimly each year, and soon
there will be nothing but cherished
memory OF brave deeds, and of their
heroes who have passed over to the
silent majority.
u-oao.. .o,.avar hrava comrades of
those now gone will hold appropriate
ceremonies in city and hamlet and be
deck the silent mounds with flowers
fit emblems OF rest and peace. Th'
number of those who once fought sid'
by side and shared the common bur
den is fast becoming less, and few
more years, they too will have joine'
their comrades in that narrow tom
where the tocsin of war is neye
heard and the bivouac Of life is for
ever stilled.
They will have passed away, but tn
beautiful ceremony Of strewing thei
last resting places with garlands an
flowers will survive; the silent tea
will be dropped on the tomb of love
ones, while their memories will b
kept forever green in the hearts of
grateful people. Let us then cheris
their memories, and while remembe
ing the dead not forget the livinI
thankful, too, that we are living
day of peace and advancing civiliz
ton, and slowly but surely approach
ing a time, a blessed time, time thi
will last forever, when nation sha
not lift up itself against natio
neither shall theyl war any more
