As Peter sat at heavens gate,
A maiden sOugf permission,
And begged of him, II not too late,
To give her free admission.
"What claim have you to enter here?"
He cried, with earnest mien;
'Please sir" she cried. 'twixt hope and fear
"Im only just sixteen"
Enough" the hoary guardian said,
And the gate wide open threw;

MILWAUKEE,. April %. - Fourteen
men persisted at the crib at the end OF

ing the storm. During the lull in the
storm the men could be seen clinging
to the pumping machinery above the
wrecked woodwork. When the tug

saving station ont but one man was
found alive. He was taken off and will
recover. The captain of the lifesavers
was seriously injured.
The steamer Burroughs went out to
the wrecked crib and 10 bodies were re-
moved from the air shaft where IA met
their deaths. They were removed to
the morgue.
Two bodies have been washed ashore.
These, with James Miller, the sole sur
vivOr, leave but one man unaccounted
for. His body is doubtless floating
around in the lake. Miller is doing
well and will live.

PIRAIEs cAPTuhEp.

MANY People Are KILLED

A Battle on the Chinese coas. In which
Many People Are Killed.
SAN FRANCISCO, April II The
steamer Belgic brings news of the cap
ture recently, near Taichow island by a
war junk disguised as merchantmen,
of formidable band of pirates. who
had for the last eight or nine months
made themselves terror to all junks
trading between Ningpoapd, Tachow
and Wenchow. OF 81 pirates ON board
the buchaneering craft only IL were
captured alive, the remainder being
killed in a desperate attempt to repulse
the attack of the sailors on board the
war junk who lost % or 40 men on
board, including the captain and Sec
ond officer.
"A curious incident connected with
the case is the capture or death OF I3
buddhist monks, who were found fight
ing side by side with the pirates, and
who proved to be the most desperate
men i'll the lot. These monks very
probably are the same band that made
raid upon the nunnery in December
near Iipgpai and who carried away the
youngest and prettiest of votaries found
in the establishment, binding and gag
ing the ugly ones in cruel manner
and throwing them under the great
altar where the poor creatures were
found two days aftervard by some de-
voices, nearly famished to death.

. The Coming Tax.

The Boston Journal is opposed to
an income tax, but it admits that it
is eoming-that it is an inevitable
result of the situation.
AS our contemporary puts it, Mr..
Voorhees,, the chairman of the
senate finance committee, declares
that he has always believed ala in
come tax to be the most equitable
method of raising revenue, and he
is, therefore, prepared to support a
proposition with that end in view.
Mr.. Vest talks in the same strain,
pronouncing the income tax the
fairest conceivable, because it puts
the burden on the strongest shout
ders. Mr.. Harris says that he will
give it his hearty support; Mr..
Vance favors a graded income tax;
Mr.. Jones is of the same opinion,
and Mr.. Mcpherson, the remaining
Democratic member of the com
mittee, prefers for the present to
say nothing.
This committee will largely shape
the financial and tariff policy of the
administration, and it may be ac-
cepted as foregone conclusion that
the next session of congress will
impose a graded income tax.
1t is no new experiment. Eng
land and other low tariff countries
tax incomes, and it is impossible to
fairly consider the matter without
coming to the conclusion that such
a tax is the only means of correct
ing the injustice of the present
system which has so long made the
masses bear the greater share of the
burden, while the privileged classes
have escaped. Doubtless many of
the eastern capitalists will kick Wig
orously, but the people at large are
determined that the government
shall be run in the interest of the
whole country.-4hanta Constitu-
ton.

Only Young Men to be Pension Surgeons.

Only Young Men to be Pension Surgeons.
A dispatch from Washington says
the Secretary of the Interior has is
sued new rule in regard to the
appointment of medical examining
boards for pensioners. There are
three members of each of these
boards. Secretary Smith does not
object to turning the Republican
doctors out and putting Democrats
in, but he says he will not permit
the appointment of old men who
want simply the fees attached to the
Office.
He directs that preference be
given to men who have just grad
uated from medical colleges and
who are ambitious and have reputa-
tions to make. He will appoint no
one upon a pension board who is
over thirty-five years old if a
younger man can be found.
He does not want old doctors at
all, preferring to make no change
rather than appoint "worn out ply
sieians who want to make sinecures
OF the position"

Ed. Register: Your editorial COM
ments in the REGISTER of the 18th
inst, on the removal of DIR. Lewis
from the Superintendency of the
Insane Asylum at Weston and the
placing in his stead a man from
Ohio, aecords so nearly with my
views that I,feel constrained to give
commendatory expression, and 1
think your views on that subject
will be approved by all State loving
West Virginians who are unbiased
by personal interests or mercenary
motives. But / suppose the action
of the Board of Directors was in
accordance with the known will and
pleasure of the Governor who APP
pointed them, and we may expect
similar developments in other quar-
tiers, as the appointments made by
the Governor seem to be made with
u view of placing men in the various
positions who will do his bidding.
Your courage in publicly criticiz-
ing the acts or motives of the pres
emit State Administration is also
commendable, for that would seem
to be rather unsafe, unless the criti-
cism were made by big, hearty
editor, who carries a maui on the
end of each arm and has foot that
would fill a No. IL boot. But for
little fellows like Reber of the Star
Tribune, it would be decidedly haz
ardous.
DIR. Lewis is a West yirginian-
a gentleman, scholar, a physician,
and was a coed Superintendent,
and his removal was uncalled for
unjustifable, and develops degree
of littIeness that the Democratic
party will have no use for in future
campaigns. G.

Its Banks Overlooked and Great De-

GRAND FORKS, N. D., April 24.-The
streets are almost impossible and every
basement in the city is full of water
owing to the high water in Red river.
The railroad bridge has been anchored
by cables and the tracks are under
water. The water is within two feet of
the high water mark of 1892 The
damage at other points in the valley
will be very heavy.
The general opinion seems to be that
the acreage in wheat in the Red river
valley will be from 90 to 20 per cent
less than last year, and that very little
seeding will be done before May 1. A
good many farmers are beginning to
get short of hay, it being almost impos-
sible to haul it, even where it has not
been swept off by the floods.

Gresham viii Shake Them I'm.

The State department like the
treasury department is to receive a
shaking up. To a friend of his
Secretary Gresham said that one
months service as secretary had
shown him that the state depart
ment is full of barnacles, fossils,
snObs, dudes and incompetents,
many of whom he will remove as
soon as he can get time to select
their successors. He added that
there are also many men of brains
and great efficiency in the depart
ment, and of course they would not
be disturbed, but those whose chief
claim to retention is found in the
fact that their fathers and grand
fathers were there before them, or
that they are well known socially,
wiki be asked to make way for new
blood.

it impossible to get near the barge, and
