Something About Two Boys.

"The most pathetic incident Of
my childhood is this: My mother
had been very i'll for several weeks,
and the doctor solemnly announced
that she could not live more than
two or three days longer at most.
That night my father reused me
from sleep and took me out of my
little bed to bid her last goodbye.
| shall never forget the scene, which
was new and awful to me. People
were weeping all round the room,
the air OF which was heavy with the
odor OF candles and lamps, and
reeking with the fumes of drugs.
My mother knew and kissed me, and
then they took me back to my bed.
But ere / was led away some one

from the top, and l noticed the grey
dawn resting on the glass, and heard
the 'cheep, cheep, OF newly waken-
ed bird. Since then l have associ-
ated that hour and sound with that
unhappy episode.
"But (and to say what now follows
l have written the foregoing para
graph)-we were all rasped and tor
tured for nothing. My mother pro.
ceeded to get we'll hand over hand,
and died quietly thirty years after
yards. She survived every person who
stood at her bedside that night except
me-"
Speaking OF the illness OF her son,
boy of nine, lady says: ave had
to sit with him night and day, Civ
ing him brandy, wine, beef tea, &C.,
to keep him alive, and expected
every day would be his last. The
physician plainly told us that moth
lug more could be done to save
him."
Yet in spite of the disease, and
we almost said-in spite of the doc
tors, the lad is we'll to-day. And
this is how it all came about. There
is a moral in it, too, but suppose we
serve that up at the end of the story.
All right, you say. Very well, then,
1t seems that this boy, George
Westmoreland, had previously been
a strong, healthy little chap, as all
boys ought to be. But about the
middle OF last November-lS9l, that

pain was so sharp that he couldn't

Of his eyes turned yellow, and his
skin, too. He was hot, and feverish
and had to fight for his breath.
OF course his mother sent for a
doctor, and the doctor said his young
patient was suffering from inham,

SENT UP FOR TWO YEARS.
McMasters Given Rather Short
Sentence,

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May S.-Harry
B. McMaster appeared before Judge
Bailey this forenoon on information of
embezzlement filed by District Attor-
ney Farr of $25,G00 from the Eau Claire
National bank. He pleaded guilty. The
prisoner had nothing to say why SEN
tence should not be pronounced upon
him, and the court inflicted a penalty
of two years at hard labor in the state
prison at Waupun. Judge Bailey used
forcible language and was clearly in
sympathy with the young prisoner.
First the court outlined his decision
that he had jurisdiction; then he spoke
of the nature of the crime and why
sentence should not always be passed
in such cases, ranging in severity with
the amount stolen. Again, he SAID,
some were punished more severely with
sentence of one year than others
would be with five. He took into ac-
count the character of the accused,
and, speaking passionately, declared
stop to such crime would not be eff
fected by the mere punishment of the
embeZzlers.
Judge Bailey declared that to stop
such embezzlements an end must be
put to public gambling; that the Chi
cago board of trade has ruined more
men, wrecked more families and
brought more distress than the civil
war, and, further, it was this influence
that defeated Senator Washburn in

that he had promulgated blasphem-

never been ordained to the priesthood
in America, but was given temporary
appointment here on request of the

TOO MUCH MAMMA-IN-LAW.
Queer Matrimonial MiX-Up Re

Queer Matrimonial Mix-Up Re-
ported From Sioux Falls.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May S.-Quite
an interesting story of love, love
scorned, too much mother-in-law, and
reconciliation was brought to light
here yesterday by the arrival from
his home at Oak Park one of Chicago's
suburbs, of w. H. Werswick, a wealthy
citizen of that place. He came to
confer with his son and daughter-in-
law, who have been in Sioux Falls
some time 1nder rather peculiar cir
cumstances. sea
1t seems that Aldrick, the nineteen
year-old son Of w. H. Werswick, loved
and welded a young girl of Chicago,
who was a stenographer and is now
seventeen years old. The mother of
the young girl apparently did not
fancy her son-in-law, notwithstanding
he is the only heir of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H Werswick, both of whom are
considered wealthy. AT any rate, two
weeks ago the young wife appeared
in Sioux Falls and Immediately re-
tanned an attorney. The young hus-
band, not knowing where to look for
his wife, whom he loves dearly, hired
detective at Sc day to hunt up his
better half. He visited his mother-in-
law, who protested with tears she had
no idea where her daughter was and
urged Aldrick to continue his search,
suggesting routes in every direction
but the right one. Finally the young
husband got track of his girl-wife and
took the train for here. He arrived
last Thursday afternoon and in the
evening called upon his wife at her
boarding house. She received him
graciously and seemed very glad to
see him. They "made up" and are
now stopping at the home of N. E.
Stringham, near relatives of the young
| couple.
1t appears that the young girl came
here at the suggestion of her mother,
and it is supposed the object was to
get a divorce together with a big
chunk of alimony. The young people
say they will not go near Chicago
where the meddling mother will see
| them but will hunt new home some
| where in the West. Mr.. Werswick,
who it appears is much attached to
his young daughter-in-law, as well as
| his son, has come on to provide them
with means of carrying out their plans
| of living away from the influence Of

NAVAL MATERIAL CoNTRAC CT.
Interesting Experiences in Test

Interesting Experiences in Test
ing Smells.
WASHINGTON, May 8.-Another
contract for naval material was closed
out today by the acceptance of two
lots of eleven-inch armor-piercing
shells made by the Carpenter company
the last deliveries to be made by this
company. The ballistic at Indian
Head today presented some curious
anomalies, principally illustrative of
the uncertainty attending the use Of
the Harvey process of hardening plate.
Usually a plain nickel steel plate is
used in testing shell, and the re-
suits are very uniform. Today a
twelve-inch HarveyiZed plate was used
as the basis of test. The first shot
was fired at a velocity of 1,475 feet per
second. Contrary to expectations, the
shot did not perforate the plate, but
penetrating ten inches, the shot broke
into pieces. The plate was cracked
only on one corner, and bulged
slightly in the back, thus showing mar
velous resisting power. The second
shot was fired at 1,S00 feet velocity. 1t
penetrated the plate and backing, and
went on a mile into the woods The
third shot was fired at 1000 feet veloc-
ity. 1t penetrated the plate, but a.
piece was scaled off, and it was badly
used up.

NEW RAILWAY ASSURED.

MADISON, Wis, May ga new rail-
road for the Fox river valley, Wiscon-
sin, is assured by the organization of
the Valley Terminal company, with a
capital of $750,000, all subscribed, which
filed articles with the secretary of
state today. The road will run from
Green Bay through Brown, Outagmie
and Winnebago to Neenah, a distance
of about thirty miles, tapping tha
cities of Green Bay, Kaukauna, APP
pleton and Neenah. The stock is di-
vided into $500 shares of 500 each, of
which John J. MacIntyre, Niagara
Falls, N. Y, holds $3.50; George E.
Green, Binghampton, N Y, $50 and
Joseph Taylor, Detroit, Mich, a. B.
Alan, Chicago; Walter B. Pelton and
John M. Baer, Appleton, 100 each.
These gentlemen constitute the board
of directors. 1t is believed that the
road will ultimately extend to Osh-
kosh. The same men have organized
the American Timber company, with a
capital stock of 100000, with head
quarters at Appleton, Wis, to manu-
facture wood pulp and convert it into
paper. Whether this means the pur-
chase of Appleton's paper mills or the
erection of new mills cannot be learned

! CHICAGO, May S.-Four police
men were injured and one striker
fatally shot in a riot of Illinois Steel
company strikers at South Chicago
today. The riot followed a mass
meeting of the strikers, held on
Eighty-fourth street About 500 men
were present, and the speeches be-
came so violent and the men SO dem
onstrative that the leaders forced an
adjournment. The crowd would not
dispurse, however, and a riot call
brought a detail of fifteen police Off
GERS, headed by Lieut.. Wagner, to the
scene. The police ordered the crowd
to disperse, but the order was met
by boots and threats, the women
among the strikers daring the Off
GERS to shoot. The police finally
charged with drawn revolvers, and
were met with volley Of stones and
Stag. Lieut. Wagner and three of
his men fell, and the other officers
opened fire, sending about twenty
five shots into. the crowd. At the
beginning OF the firing, the strikers
fled, four of the leaders being ar
rested The wounded are: John
Wilkosky, striker, shot through the
head; viii die Lieut.. Wagner, head
cut by stones. officer Martin, dubbed
into insensibility. officer John Nc
Caffrey, badly bruised. Officer Will
lam Walsh, head badly cut by stones.
None of the police are believed to
be fatally hurt. After the shooting
the rioters gathered in groups about
the steel works threatening ven
geance, and more trouble was an
ticipated by the police, The mills
were kept under police protection,
and the company's store of dynamite
was heavily guarded all day.
The American Railway union has
been brought into the strike among
employees of the Illinois Steel company
at South Chicago. Before the strug-
gle is over the national organization,
which brought out the standing army

whole energy into the movement. 1t
all rests with President Debs' an

ly." Mr.. Choate next considered the
exemptions made in the income tax
law, and in doing 50 made especial
reference to the mutual insurance
companies as going to show the mag
nitude of the operations of those
companies. He could, he said, men
ton one such company whose accum-
ulated property amounted to $204, ,0OO,-
600. An exemption such as this was
beyond the bounds of reason.
do you KNOW" he exclaimed,
what this concern is that is given
the vast advantage implied in this ex-
emption? 1t goes under the reputed
name of moneyed corporation. 1t is
"a MONEYED MONSTER.
'It lives upon money; it digests
money; it breeds money. 1t lays gold
en- eggs by the bucketful every day
and then weaves golden coils about
them to warm and vivify them. 1t
has as many arms as there are states
in the Union, and which it is con-
stantly putting out in all directions
for the purpose of raking in with. Nor
are it's operations confined to the
bounds of this country alone. 1t ex-
tends to England and to the European
countries and is always raking in
money"
Having obtained so much money, he
said, the company reinvested 1T by
forming trust companies, organizing
banks, building and reorganizing rail-
roads, and floating government loans.
Not only this but it controlled con-
gress and directed legislation, as had
been confessed by the attorney gen
eral. Referring to the exemption Of
incomes of less than $1,000, he said
that the provision of the law would
exclude the vast majority of the in
comes of the entire country. 1t would
exempt 99-100 of the tradesmen of the
country and majority of professional
men. 1t was an arbitrary blow aimed
at corporations, in hitting which the
trainers of the law well knew they
were striking the main source of i'll
come of thousands of
WIDOWS AND ORPHANS,
whose incomes, individually small,
were derived from corporate invest
ments.. With this Mr.. Choate closed
the part of his discourse directed to
the question of lack of uniformity,
and took up the last question under
consideration. where the entire law
was rendered invalid by the decision
declaring parts of it to be SO. Does
it follow" he asked, that because
the law has been left mutilated it
should remain buried?' and he an
swered that it did. The question had
been left too long uninterred. In it's
present condition it shocks the sens
sibilities. He said the rule was that
when parts of a law upon which other
parts or the whole of it were depend
ent are declared invalid, the dependent
parts must also share the same fate,
and he contended that by the former
decision of the court the income tax
law had been robbed of it's body and
substance.
MIR. Choate stopped abruptly at 2
o'clock, and the court announced an
immediate adjournment until II o'clock

WASHINGTON, May S.-The presi-

don of William Chase, who was re-
Gently convicted of publishing a libel
against c. f. j. Taylor, recorder of
deeds of the District of Columbia
Both Chase and Taylor are colored,
and the conviction and sentence of
Chase to ninety days Imprisonment in
the United States Jail was the outcome
of bitter factional controversy, which
was started here on the appointment
of Taylor, a nonresident, nearly two
years ago. The president indorsed on
the petition the following: "It is con-
ceded that this convict maliciously
published an outrageous libel in
newspaper, which he controlled and
used in this instance at least as a dirty
weapon to satisfy his personal rage
and revenge. This crime is a most
detestable one. 1t has become SO COM
mon and is so seldom punished that I
cannot reconcile executive clemency
in the case here presented with the
duty 1 owe to decent journalism, the
peace of society and the protection of
those constantly subjected to libelous
attacks" The president has also de-
MED the petition for the pardon of

miners have been advised by the lead

far there have been no clashes between
the soldiers and miners. Sixty-five
men joined the union yesterday, and it
is now certain that 500 men are out
in the Virginia mines in favor of the
strike. The Browning company is
