to the assistance of Rev. DR.. Parkllurst
In his hight against the condition Of affairs
In the Eleventh Police Precinct.
In spite of the declarations of In
spector, Williams and Capt. Devery that
the precinct is free from the resorts
which DIR. Parkhurst and his agents
assert exist there, these two clergymen
make statements from personal knowl-
edge which support DR.. %Parkhurst's
Charges and refute the declarations OF
the police officials.

The sympathetic strike of mechanics
on the new buildings at broadway and

The strike was caused by u reduction

His Blue Eyes Haunt Her stiIL.

How often, oh. how often, must we
editors warn our readers Of the awful
risk they run in writing love letters2
The risk is even awfuller when the let
tiers are written to some person who has
already husband or wife, as the case
may be. If you are so full of the poetry
of passion that you must speak out your
seething soul or burst, better burst than
pour it upon cold paper in cold ink. Say
it all in burning words if you must, but
say it. Don't write it. Think of the
divorce suit or breach of promise suit,
the unfeeling newspapers, the fiinty
hearted lawyers, the public grinning
from ear to ear and roaring with ribald
laughter, and don't write it,
Mrs. Missouri Wilson now mourns as
one without hope because of her disre-
gard of this rule about not writing love
letters. She was wedded.to Wilson, but
did not find out till afterward that Clau-
son was her ideal Of manly perfection,
which was unfortunate. If she had we'd
ded Clauson she would probably have
discovered that Wilson was her ideal
there is no telling. AT any rate she was
married to Wilson, and she was so far
gone daft over the other man that she
wrote letters as follows, and Wilson got
hold of them;
MY DARLING-Odd, isn't it, that life should
become almost unbearable out of your pres
ence?
Your face rises constantly before me, and
your blue eyes haunt me, darling, my dear, my
life. How can live without you much longer?

intolerable pain, this longing to be with you

cannot be happy away from you, and life
seems full of brightness when your arms are
around me. | am not brave today, and Just
now had rather die than so on as have been
doing.
My love, there is no one on earth like you,
and when talk to other men your blue eyes
rise before me, and can hear you say, 'Dear,
will you always love me?"
Anon she scribbles thus:
woke up quite early this morning, and as a
matter of course your face rose before me.
Your blue eyes looked into mine, and dull
ache came into my heart.
lell me, uear, Will my neart always nave
this dull, throbbing pain while am away from
you?
No, indeed, Missouri. After awhile
you would say, Il wish You would clear
out, Clauson, and not be forever hang
ing around the house in the way"
His blue eyes, however, are what knock
her out every time. Once more she
gushes forth:
If fate hes decreed that we are not to be to-
gether, darling, tell you candidly | cannot
live | will so mad, my own. How could help
loving you, dear, when you are all that / most
admire?

figure; your air of command; the gray hair
brushed away from the white forehead; the
blue eyes that looked SO tired toward evening;
the mouth that looks SO stern, but is so tender;
the firm chin and the pretty dimple, dear-I
can see them now, and ! want you.
P.S.-Wilson has applied for divorce.

satoIli. Apostolic Delegate.

The diplomatic corps at Washington
is inclined to welcome Mgr. Satolli as an
adopted brother, although he has no Off
cial relations with the United States gov
eminent. His appointment as permanent
apostolic delegate to the United States
is the most important event in the his
tory of the Roman Catholic church in
this country in years. Mgr. Satolli will
represent the pope in all matters of dis
cipline and ecclesiastical law in America.
In this Republican nation the American
born and bred priests frequently had
differences of opinion with the bishops,
who were their superiors. These ques-
tions had to be sent to Rome for final
adjustment by the pope.
There were so many that at length his
holiness resolved to establish an ecclesi-
astical court of highest appeal here and
have all differences settled on the ground
Being resident in the United States, the
apostolic delegate could catch the spirit
of American institutions and decide, as
it would otherwise be impossible to do,
what was the right thing. So that the
American Catholic church will no longer
be ruled from Rome Mgr. Satolli will
probably establish his headquarters at
Washington.
1t has been objected that he is for
eigner, and therefore cannot fully I'M
derstand American questions. But he
has shown himself thus far to be man
of great tact, as well as of quick and
brilliant acumen. He is man of great
learning and experience. What Mgr
Satolh says goes, and will go.

There is an impression among eastern
people that fruit will not grow in some
of the states of the northwest, the Da-
kotas, for instance. But we find from a
report of the South Dakota Horticultural
society that in this state at least fruit
of many varieties and excellent quality
is produced In abundance. Among them
are grapes, apples, plulns and berries of
all kinds. 1t is true few precautions
are necessary, as one Dakota fruit grower
felicitously observes-the same as are
taken by eastern fruit growers One of
these is that in most parts of South Da-
kota there seems to be doubled and
twisted crop of insect pests. These must
be sprayed for all there is in it with
paris green, london purple and other
rainbow preventives. At the approach
of winter grapes must be laid gently
down upon the soil and covered in a
warm bed with coarse hay if the vari-
ETY. is old and tough; with earth and Fit
ter if it is young and tender. But if
this is done there will be excellent fruit.
The Concord grape is reported to thrive
best
The whole country may point with
pride to the achievement of these Dakota
people in tree planting and fruit pro-
ducing. One speaker at the convention
reported his mother as saying that thirty
years ago there was not on two quarter
sections a switch large enough to whip a
child with. SO the Dakota youngsters
missed one unpleasant experience at
least.
But those brave pioneers went from
eastern homes where fresh, ripe fruit and
berries were plentiful; where great,
beautiful trees shaded the lawn in sum
mer and evergreens ON the northwest OF
the house broke the force of the chill
blasts in winter. They resolved they
would have both fruit and forest in their
new home. The struggles of the pic
neers on these treeless plains to secure
orchards and shade trees are among the
most interesting portions OF the history
of the brave young northwestern states
Now they have blue grass lawns. roses
honeysuckles, pine, cedar and fir trees
and beautiful Towering Japanese catal
pas trees. One pioneer strawberry cul
turist reports that for ten years he has
not had single failure with his favorite
fruit. The worst enemy some of the
fruit pioneers encountered in their ef-
forts was the silvery tongued but unre-
liable nursery agent. Dozens Of varie-
ties of fruits had to be tried before one
was found that would thrive in that
climate

Never but once before since the white
man settled the country was the Missis-
sippi frozen from shore to shore and an
ice gorge formed at Memphis. The suf-
fering this winter in the smaller towns
along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers is
unprecedented. Many of them have no
railroad connections and are dependent
altogether on the river for supplies of
fuel. clothing and groceries. The suffer-
ing is something appalling, and the worst
of it has been that there was no way of
reaching the sufferers quickly and Civ
ing them aid. The winter of 1928 will
be remembered for half a century ON ac-
count of its severity. Kentucky, Ten
nessee. Georgia and North Carolina are
accounted warm states in the $opular
Judgment, yet for the first time in the
memory of many grown persons they
have suffered in common with the states
farther north from zero temperature and
ice gorges.

The Jewish Colony in New Jersey.

Early in the year 1891 the American
agents Of Baron Hirsch bought 100 acres
of wild pine lands in southern New Jer-
sey This was in anticipation of the ar
rival of q large number of Russian Jewish
exiles. They came, and the real colony was
founded in April, 1891. Most of the men
had been tradesmen in Russia. but it
was partly to keep them from over
crowding still more the field of peddling
and small merchandising among their
race in America that the attempt was
made to put them to farming. The 5, 100
acres were divided into 30-acre plots.
which represented the farm that was to
be allotted to each family. 1t was a
very small farm, according to American
ideas; still the result shows that the
founders of the colony calculated cor
rectly. The families were settled upon
the plots with the privilege of buying
them, being allowed twelve years to pay
for them.
The result thus far has been crafty

The Cooked Food Movement.

In spite of many obstacles and dis
couragements it is making progress, and
in most Of the large cities there are
bright. cheerful Kitchens" so called,
where supplies of food all ready for the
table can be obtained at reasonable
prices. The movement to deliver such
food hot from wagons does not meet
with great success so far. The chief
progress has been made in establish
nlents where the families come for food
and carry it away in vessels of their
own. But undoubtedly the delivery
service could be made a success.
The plan began in some places as a
philanthropic measure-a plan to supply
families in tenement houses and poor dis
tricts with food of good quality, cooked
in the best manner, at a moderate price
The result showed that comparatively
well to do people appreciated the plan
better than the thriftless and the very
poor. 1t is a vast saving of time,
trouble and fuel to send to a nearby
kitchen and get supply of soup, meats,
vegetables and plain, wholesome desserts
for family. Women engaged in bust
ness find such establishments invaluable
1t will be the method of cookery in the
future. Such a kitchen could succeed in
any town, the only requisites being. that
the food should be exquisitely clean and
of good, wholesome quality. Dainty des-
serts and lobster salads might be left
out for ladies to make at home if they
wished or procure from fashionable

The medical profession really begins
to believe that cancer can be cured.
The cure is effected through knowledge
of microbes. There is microbe for
each disease. and the cancer germ has
been already discovered The first step
toward finding the cure was the discov-
cry that if patients affected with cancer
were suddenly taken with certain other
diseases-as, for instance. erysipelas-the
cancer ceased its ravages during the
progress of the other ailment. This was
known a century ago. But not till re-
Gently was the cause discerned through
the germ theory. 1t was found out that
the bacteria of certain diseases were hos

they met. If, then, the cancer patient is

microbes of the two diseases attack one
another. and the erysipelas germ de-

Is Mormon PoIygamy Dead2

1t is hard to tell President Harrison's
amnesty proclamation, granting uncon-
ditional pardon and freedom from fur
Their legal prosecution to all Mormons
who have lived anonymously since
Nov l, 1890, and will continue to do so,
implies that in the opinion of persons in
high government quarters the many
wived practice has been abandoned. In
October, 1890. the sixty-frst semiannual
conference of the Latter Day Saints is
sued manifesto to all Mormons pro-
hibiting any member hereafter to enter
into the plural marriage relation. They
did this on the recommendation of Will
fred Woodruff, president Of the church
In September of 1890 Woodruff declared
that Mormon preachers were no longer
teaching that disobedience to the mar
riage laws of the United States was
obedience to God. Woodruff recon-
mended the abandonment of polygamy
on the ground of its conflicting with the
laws of the United States. and not from
any change Of heart. Leading Mormons
have said in the most sincere and sol
emn manner that polygamy has been
abandoned forever.
Nevertheless. if this be true, whas
mean the swarms Of foreign steerage
passenger women who still, up to the
time of the cholera quarantining, con-
tinued to enter our ports from Europe,
always under the wing of cunning faced,
sharp eyed on Mormon elders, who
watched them like hawk lest any of
them got away? The Wyoming, the ship
that was detained so long at quarantine
in New York bay last November, brought
seventy-six Mormon converts eleven
men and sixty-five women. In addition
to this the shrewd old Mormon rascals
who had the party in tow mingled freely
with the steerage passengers in general
and tried to persuade other women to
join the Utah contingent and go off
with them. Polygamy may be aban-
doned, as the Mormons say, but all the
SAME these little facts have queer look.
