To-day. small people. let Us have a
talk regarding the childhood of man
whose glory rests upon the fact that
he was good. sympathetic. generous, the
Jupiter and servant of his felowmen.
Looking into the dictionary for the
meaning OF the rather long word phil
anthropist' find it defined as zone
who loves or wishes well 10 his fellow
men, How glorious then to so live
as TO become famous purely for loving
and for helping.
This great man was an Englishrnan.
and was born on the Twenty fourth of
August. 1853 He died on July ~, 1893. and
no man ever lived who within the span
OF seventy-four years did more to allie
viate the sufferings of the weak and 70
elevate the race
tie was an extremely delicate and fra
gle little fellow, but possessed a fine
mind and great sweetness of nature
Often suffering keenly himself. pain
seems TO have given him a wondrously
swift and keen sympathy with the suf-
ferings Of others. and il is related that
upon the occasion Of the serious illness
Of his mother. when he was little more
than a baby, a guest at the house was
greatly struck by his effectiveness TO
her. Taking off his tiny shoes for fear
he might disturb the sufferer he would
frequently enter her room. gently move
aside the curtain and inquire in the
softest tone conceivable, Are you better
to-day2'
At the age of seven he was sent TO
the grammar school at HUI, AT which
he became quite celebrated for his elocu-
tionary powers. which were Of 50 excel
lent kind that the young student was
frequently made to stand upon a table
and read aloud for the benefit of the
other and less gifted boys.
Later he was sent TO another school
whose ma Ster a ScOtchman with red
beard, appears to have made very deep
impression upon his memory, and where
he was what was known as
parlor boarder. His stay here
because it was while here that an Incl
dent occurred which he declares had
great influence in the formation of his
character. and consequently upon his
splendid career.
While upon a holiday visit 20 his aunt.
she made him a present of quite large

wise Providence. a grain of mustard seed
which was 20 grow into great results
Looking forward we find that what
marked his youth especially were quick
ness and strength Of mind. loving and
sympathctic heart a rcverent and de-
Vout nature. The gaietN and social plea
sure I'm which he INDUCED only served to
increase his power OF usefulness, not TO
tempt him from great objects
He was especially celebrated for his
efforts TO abolish the English slave trade
against which he is said TO have written
a stirring letter to an English paper a
the age of fourteen. But his efforts were
not limited TO this. He was the friend
OF the poor. the helper of the needy, the
uplifter of the fallen. His name is one
of the greatest and most honored on the
rolls OF tlme.-SOuthern Churchman.

and their friends In the Legislature to
stavc on action on the report Of the

This Is just what the Eimira Reforma-
tory managers have done and
what they viii continue to do
every day as long as he allows the tor

and lawless acts In the institution.
1t is absurd to say that Gov. Flower

been found guilty after a long and pa
tient trial. Does Gov. Flower believe
that the State Board of Charities Is an
Incapable or dishonest body? on what
other ground can he refuse to accept
their work and respect their conclusions ?
One point has already been settled.
Another trial OF the charges against
Brockway and his accompliccs, the man
ayers, is ordered. on the first trial the
Governor insisted hat 1t was necessary
and just to suspend the Superintendent
pending the trial. Then Brockway had
not been convicted of the offenses
charged against him. Now. he has once
been oun guilty.
Under these circumstances. can Gov.
Flower hesitate to demand the suspen.
sion of Brockway and his entire exclu-
sion from the Reformatory pending
this second trial?

Vincenzo De Vito. one OF those i'm

posed by THE Evening World" was ex-
amined yesterday before Justice Walsh,
Of Brooklyn. and held for the Grand
Jury. An attempt was made to pro-
cure his release On bail. but Justice
Walsh refused to accept n security in
New York. and rejected that offered by
a saloon-keeper of Brooklyn.
If De Vito had succeeded In securing
bail he would nay been Immediately

Marshal Biggart. who was present with
q warrant issued by the United States
Courts on a charge OF fraudulently and

earthed by THE Evening World,' and

BIG P%ROJECTILES FIRED.
These Are the Largest Ever Made
for the Army.

The biggest steel projectiles ever made
for the army were tested yesterday at
the Sandy Hook Proving Station.
Shots were fired at an armor-plate tar
get ID IL inches thick, which had a
wall back OF 1t Of oak planks feet
thick, and behind that a bank of sane
81 feet thick.
-Four shots were fired, two OF the pro-
~Jectiles being of the Hotter process
and two of the Carpenter. The first
missile. n Carpenter, went through the
u feet of obstruction. but broke In
three pieces. The second. a Hotter,
went through plate and oaken wall,
but was lost in the sand. The third, Il
Carpenter, cut through steel and wood
and was found In the sand In perfect
condition. The fourth, a Hotter, went
through armOr n oak and was recov-
cred In the sand. 1t was only slightly
injured. Another test will be made
to-day.
The holes In the armor plate were al
most big enough for n small boy to
creep into. The projectiles weighed
1000 pounds. and had Il striking velocity
of l,625 feet per second. The Pinch

MORE WAR IN SAMOA.
Natives Rebel Against the Acts
Of Chief Justice Ide.
King MaIietoa Stands by the Ameri-
can Authorities.
Natives Killed in Battle-A General
Outbreak Feared.
Copyright, 1894. Associated Press.)

AUCKLAND. New Zealand, March
3O.-The steamship Alameda, from sa-
moa, brings news of a most serious
outbreak in those Stands. which would
seem to indicate that the United States.
Great Britain and Germany will be
called Upon to take prompt action.
According to the reports, the out
break was caused by the action OF
Henry Ide, the American Chief Justice.
who succeeded Chief Justice Ceder-
crantz on Sept. 6. 1892.
Chief Justice Ide Is charged with
fning and throwing into jail the chiefs
of the rival factions in Samoa and with
compelling them to work on the roads
like convicts of the lowest order.
The natives protested strongly. made
all kinds of threats, and eventually
broke out into armed rebellion.
The fighting began by the rebels XIII
ing a man in the employ of the Govern
ment, who was caught near their camp
The reigning sovereign. King Malietoa
seems to have remained thoroughly loya
to the Chief Justice, for, upon being
called upon to do so. he promptly sent q
strong force of his Samoan warriors tc
attack the rebels.
Several sharp encounters between Kins
Malietoa's warriors and the natives COM
manded by the rebellious chiefs followed
During these engagements thirty mer
were killed and about fifty were
wounded.
Throughout the fighting, up to the time
the steamship Alameda left Samoa, thu
advantage was mostly on the Govern
ment's side. the rebels being driven from
their camp and forced to retreat into thu
interior of the island, where 1t was diff
cult to pursue them.
But the occurrences have so enraged
the natives that they are said to be tax.
ing steps looking to a wholesale up.
rising.
King Malietoa's troops are charged
with having terribly mutilated a prison
er who fell into their hands, with hav.
ing burne the houses of inoffensive ma.
tives, n with having outraged a mum.
Der of native women. whose male rela.
tives had taken part In the rebel
lion. The troops of the King are also
charged with a number of other afro.
cities.
The foreign population Of Samoa is In
a state of the greatest uneasiness, as
the natives are making all kinds OF
threats against foreigners. and the ar.
rival of a warship of some nation IL
most anXiously awaited.

THE PRESIDENTS VETO.

The veto OF the Seigniorage bill was
anticipated in view OF President Cleve-
lands ~well-known conservative views
on the currency question. But the COM
prehensive message by which the veto
is accompanied will convince every rea-
sonable person of the wisdom of the act,
and ought to satisfy the silver men
themselves that their own interests
would have suffered II the bill had been
allowed to become Il law.
The worst blow that could be struck
Mt the principle of bi-metallism would
be the destruction Of the parity be-
tween the two metals. If both gold and
silver are to serve us as money, as the
President says, and II they together are
to supply the people with n safe and
stable currency, the necessity of pre-
serving thisp parity Is obvious. This can
not be done by a large addition to the
silver currency in our circulation n n
corresponding reduction OF gold in the
Treasury; while the President frankly
admits that he should have been person.
ally pleased II he could have consistent
ly signed the bill. and that there Is
strength in the arguments In favor of
coming the bullion seigniorage. he in
sists that 1t cannot be safely done with
out at the same time adopting such a
policy as would insure the protection OF
the gold reserve whenever 1t should be
necessary.
The veto will give satisfaction to the
people in this section OF the country.
n will aid the restoration of conf
dence and business activity. 1t is not
probable that the threat OF the silver
men to add n clause providing for the
coming of the seigniorage to the Tariff
bill will succeed II the attempt should
be made.
