BITTEN BY HER SICK CHILD.

Mrs. Patrick Lavary. of 2O7O Second

Mrs. Lavary Is the wife OF hard
working laborer. They have several
children. Ten days ago their youngest
child was stricken with scarlet fever.
The little ones throat was coated with
the usual blotches which attend this
enemy of childhood. and Mrs. Lavary
was compelled to utilize the swab In
order to relieve the sufferer and permit
the eruptions to heal In doing this the
mother allowed the fingers of the right
hand to get between the teeth OF the
struggling and crying child. In spasm
the child closed its teeth down on them.
AS result Mrs. Lavary received

WOULDN'T DESERT HER BABY.
Now the Little One Is Dying in
bellevue Hospital.

In Bellevue Hospital this morning there
were two patients that attracted more
than usual attention. They are mother
and child. The mother Is pretty and
about thirty years old The child Is only
fifteen months old. The former Is in the
prison ward. the latter dying in the
child's ward. The woman gives the
name of Mary Argue
At o'clock this morning the woman
walked into the East Twenty-second

heels.

she could endure 1t no longer. Tired,
footsore and hungry, she applied to the
police.
An ambulance was summoned from
Bellevue Hospital. The surgeon said he
could not exactly say what allied the
child, but 1t could not live twenty-four
hours
The woman cried bitterly when told
she would be locked up for vagrancy
while her child would be taken to the
hospital, SO the sergeant decided to send
her also to Bellevue.
An examination of the child showed
that 1t was in a dying condition. and the
Warden gave orders to call the woman to
her babys bedside before 1t died.

sHIRKING.

The Senate yesterday killed the reso-

Kansas Populist, calling for an investi
CATION Of the charges that certain Sena-
tors had been speculating on Wall street
In Sugar stocks pending their action on
the Tariff bill
The resolution having been called up
by Its author for the purpose of modify
Ing Its language. a motion was promptly
made to lay 1t on the table. This was
carried by a vote OF thirty-three yeas to
twenty-seven nnys, thus killing the reso-
luton and preventing the proposed In
vestigation.
Appropriately enough. the motion to
table was made by Senator Quay, OF
Pennsylvania. Mr. Quay is known not
to favor Investigations.
Appropriately enough also, Senator
German. Of Maryland, took occasion to
denounce the freedom with which the
press criticises and exposes methods of
legislation on which comment is not de-
sired by those engaged In them. Mr..
German has been annoyed recently by
this candor of journalism.
In the days when men like Webster
and Clay and Calhoun sat in the United
States Senate such a resolution as that
introduced by Mr.. PETER would properly
have been considered an insult to that
body and would have been Indignantly
kicked out of the chamber. But In these
days and with the present Senate indig-
nation at such resolution as that intro
duced by Mr.. PETER Is out OF place. 1t
would have been more satisfactory to
the people II the investigat tlon had been
held and the truth or falsity OF the
charges established.

Womnn's and Mans Curse.

To the Editor:
The curse Of the woman who is compelled to
work for her living, and also OF man, is the
woman who merely works for dress or pin money
She has husband or a father to support her
so can afford TO work for less than living wages;
she thereby cuts down her unfortunate sister
who must work for her living, to starvation
prices. The Kings Daughters and such societies
should take hold OF this question. They should
also take hold OF stores and business men who
pay their women less than living wages they
drive many a woman into the paths OF vice Let
all women who have hearts refuse to buy OF
stores that pay less than they should. The bus
mess man who takes advantage OF his helm IA
morally thief Let womankind organize, nnd

refuse to buy OF them. a. G.

The Philosophy of United Labor.

To the Editor:
Mr.. Carson. the reason why the union men
were not successful at Carnegie's was because
there were too many on-union men ready to take
their places. Labor cannot be successful when
II nights itself. and the Congressional Committee
found higher wages paid at Carnesies than any
where else IN The world in hat line Now, Mr..
Free Trader don't you know that under
present system OF civilization labor and capital
are both separate factors OF production. and la
Dor must organize to be on an equal footing with
capital Let us suppose capitalist employs
a thousand men. II these ren are not organized,
each individual treats with all the capital in the
establishment. All the capital is represented by
one man but one laborer represents but thou
sandth part OF the labor, and he is not In a po-
sition OF equality. The laborers, therefore unite
their labor and speaking through one represen-
tative place all the labor against all the capital
But both their interests are the same. II pro-
lection Ia good for the capitalist It is good for the
laborer. You have had more hard times under
the shadow OF the Wilson bill than the country
has seen for forty years. The party who turns the
business interests Of this country over to the

Appetizing Rhubarb,

Fresh red and green rhubarb may be

any kind of meat. 1t is a mistake to
cook 1t to strings and to make 1t sweet.
