PINKERToy MEN As LAW BREAKERS

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Joseph B.
Greenwell, a clerk in the Board of Pension
Appeals, and formerly clerk in another
bureau, testified in the Raum investigation
to-day that his connection with the Pension
office had been severed in 1890. The charge
brought against him was that he was a
Democrat, and had offered to furnish evil
dence that, Democrats were not receiving
their proper share of promotion. Commits
sioner Raum would not give him hearing,
but Secretary Noble did. The Secretary
treated him very courteously and said he
did not suppose it was a felony to be q
Democrat He said he would look into the
matter. The result was that witness was re-
instated
L. D. Landon, an assistant chief of the
record division when Major Barker was
Chief, testified that Mrs. Caddie L. Wright
had spoken to him of the conduct toward
her Of William L. Ford. She expressed
fear that Ford might use his official position
against her, as she was in Office on proba-
tion. Witness had spoken to his chief
about Mrs Wright's complaint. Il was
witness opinion that Mrs. Wright did not
want to testify before the committee in re-
lation to Ford's conduct The published
statement of Ford's conduct with respect to
Mrs. Wright agreed substantially with
what she had told him. Witness had
loaned money to both Major Barker and
Mr.. Ford.
Representative Harter, of Ohio, took the
stand voluntarily, and said he never had
any arrangement or understanding with any,
body by which, directly or indirectly, he
was to receive one penny for his influence
as q member of the House.
Captain C. C. Cole, United States District
Attorney for the District of Columbia, testi-
fed that Assistant Secretary Chandler gave
him the names of two or three persons who
could give information as to offers made bv
Green B. Raum, Jr, to secure positions for
q money consideration.
The Civil Service Commission and the
Department of Justice also called his at
tention to the case, but he had been unable
to get tangible evidence to present to the
grand Jury.

He Cannot Interfere in State Matters,
Even If They're Lynchings.
WASHINGTON, April 2L-The New
York delegation of colored men, sent to
Washington to memorabilia the President
in regard to the outrages perpetrated upon
the negroes of the South, arrived here this
morning and was entertained at breakfast
by Frederick Douglass and William E.
Matthews The delegation was introduced
to President Harrison by John r. Lynch,
Fourth Auditor of the Treasury. DR..
William B. Derrick stated the purpose
of the delegation to the President, and
presented the resolutions which were
adopted at recent mass meeting at Cooper
Union. In his reply, President Harrison
explained to the gentlemen just how far he
could exercise his authority under the Con-
stitution, stating very clearly the difference
between State and Federal authority in re-
gard to crimes committed in any particular
State. The New Orleans lvnching matter
was taken as an example. The Federal Gov
eminent, he said, clearly had the right to
provide for the protection of the italian
subjects, as that was q matter of treaty
rights, but 1t has not been done; no legisla-
tion has been enacted; and neither the Fed
eral courts nor the President could inter-
fere, even in that case
Mr.. Harrison advised the delegation to
collect in detail the facts concerning the
lynchings in the South for year, and pre-
sent them to him and the public press, and
said that upon these facts he would assist as
far as he could in creating public senti-
ment against lawless methods of Furnishing
colored men in the South. While willing
to do everything he could in behalf of ali
the citizens in the country, he explained
clearly how any attempted interference with
State authority by him would do more harm

PINKERT0Ns AS LAW BREAKERS.

An Inquiry as to Their Violation of the
Interstate Commerce Act.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The House
Judiciary Committee to-day discussed at
some length the resolution offered by Rep
resentative Watson, of Georgia, for an
inquiry as to the methods followed by the
Pinkerton Detective Agency.
The resolution was finally recommitted
to the subcommittee, consisting of Messrs.
Oates. Broderick and Wolverton, and
although the committee took no definite
action, it is understood the recommittaI

tectives with interstate commerce.

FACTS AND FINDINGS.

LEMON BUoWNE, noted English vo-
calist, says that stmulants do not pro-
mote good work OF any kind
A BEER canteen which has been in
operation at West Point has received
eighteen hundred dollars in one month.
A RECENT return shows that there
were 1908 arrests for drunkenness in
Ireland on Sundays between May L
1891, and April 30, 1892.
A STRONG total abstinence movement
in the western provinces eff Russia is
in progress. In one province there are
no less than sixteen active societies.
AT recent dog show in Los Angeles,
over the door of the eXhibition-room
was placed sign on which, in large
letters, was the following: mo smok-
ing allowed here-it will hurt the dogs"
THE police of Cohoea, N. y, a city Of
%, pa inhabitants, made census of the
saloons the other day atni found 200,
besides thirteen other places licensed
to sell liquor, or one for every seventy
four of the population.
AN argument for total abstinence as
conducive to longevity is found IN tho
annual report of the United Kinlidom
temperance and provident institution.
There are two sections, one including
moderate non-abstainers, the other
total abstainers. In the former there
were thirtv-nine more deaths, and liz
the latter eightyone fewer than were
expected.
INVESTIGATION into the way that
public money is expended in Boston
shows that over one hundred and sixty
Thousand dollars is spent In the city
hospital, of which amount almost six
thousand went for alcoholic drinks 1t is
said that no doctor outside .gins to lose
the number of patients carried out
from this hospital, more than one out
of nine. The comparison between
that and the Temperance hospital rec
ords would suggest to the physicians
in charge that the day FIR alcoholic
prescriptions is fast passin, away.

SCIENTIFIC SUSIE.
Why She Cut the Harmless Earth Worms
Into Many Pieces.

Into Many Pieces.
Susie is five years old. She once
heared her papa. who is very learned
man, talk about the CLOVER orders Of
life" as he termed them. Susie is a
bright little maiden, ard she listened
intently to his words, for she often
learns things strange and wonderful
when papa talks, as he kindly, at suit
able times, answers her questions in
simple language.
This time ne was conversing about
polypi, which are queer little 1rhabit-
ants of the sea.
When cut in pieces. instead q being
killed the parts still live and grow
land make whole ones), thus multiply
ing by cuttings as do some kinds ct
trees and plants.
Said Susie, few days later: Papa,
90 angle-worms belong to tho lower
orders OF life?'
He was busy just then, and answered,
briefly: Yes.
Susie thought about the uhtter a
great deal; and one day, when she was
visiting with mamma at the hCme of a
friend, she told little boy, tho son of
her mammals friend, all about this
queer way of creating new life,
The boy was much interested in the
tale. Susie searched and found smooth
board, and by her direction the boy
brought quantity of earth-wo, ms and
with the Ratchet, which he also brought
at her request, Susie commenced cut
ting the poor things.
She has tender heart, and she told
her playmate that it would be rruel to
cut the worms, but that was Gd's way
of making more, and SO it coulY not be
wicked. She said if they made three or
four worms out Of one there would be
so many more to be happy.
The only thing thatpuzzle} Der WAS
this: A worms head might grtN Il tai,
because the head could eat: and the
tail might grow head, be,tuse the
stomach might be in the lc'5er part:
but the middle pieces from which both
| the heads and tails had been cut seemed
in danger of starving. and SO never
growing and making new worms.
However. she concluded it must be
all right somehow, and went on swing
ing the little Ratchet.
She had worked very busily until her
back and arms were tired, when one OF
the ladies of the house came around the
corner of tie house to see what strange
play the children could be having.
YOU dreadful, dreadful, dreadful
childrenr' she said. What are you do
ing?" for the board was almost covered
with wriggling bits of the unfortunat,
worms.
Susie explained, her boy partner
standing by.
The lady looked Mortified. but she di,
not rebulle the children, for she saw
they meant no harm, and did not intent
to be cruel.
She made them stop, and Susie won
dcred, till after she reached home an'
asked papa, why she and the little be.
were not permitted to continue thci
scientific sport.
He then more fully explained regard
| ing the grades of life in which she la,
taken SO practical an interest.
If Susie lives to be woman ] thin
/ she will be an investigator. Look il
t the dictionary and find out what tina
means.-Laura Rosamond White, i

should never be suffered to go out while
the earth endured.
1t has burned, unextinguished, for
six hundred years.
What reader would not be glad to
think that six centuries hence some
light would burn to testify of his good
deeds?'
Historians tell us that four hundred
years ago one of the Hohenzollern
dukes married a peasant woman, whose
strong will and love of truth can yet be
traced IN all her royal descendants.
In our own colonial times the VIE of
Virginia farmer taught to her son the
courage, the simple habits, the rever-
ence for God and for goodness which
through him gave to the young republic
strong, noble life.
These women kindled lamps-nOt OF
brass and oil-which shall burn while
the world endures
Any man or woman, however obscure,
whose life is clean, whose words are
true, whose intention is to help God in
His world, kindles light which never
goes out-Youth's Companion.
