GIFT Of A NIhLI0R
ANOTHER MAGNIFICENT DONA-

OF CHICAGO
HELEN CULVER THE DONOR.
TO BE USED IN THE FIELD OF
THE BIOLOGICAL
SCIENCES.
All in Memory of the Lady's In
Gle, Chns. j. Hull, Whose
Wealth She Inherited.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Miss Helen
Culver, of this city, has given $1,OOO,-
900 to the University of Chicago, the
entire gift to be devoted to the in
crease and spread of knowledge
within the field of the biological sci
ences. In defining the uses to which
the money may be put Miss Culver
says:
az mean that the gift shall develop
the work now represented in the sew
eral biological departments of the
University of Chicago, by the expan-
sion of their present resources; that
1t shall be applied in part to an inland
experimental station, and to marine
biological laboratory; portion of the
instruction supported by this gift shall
take the form of university extension,
lectures to be delivered by recognized
authorities at suitable points on the
West Side of Chicago. To secure the
above ends portion, not to exceed one
half the capital sum THUS given, may
be used for the purchase of land. for
equipment and for the erection of build
ings."
The marine laboratory will be erected
either on the Atlantic or Pacific coast,
and the inland laboratory will be
placed at Lake Geneva, Wis, where
the Yerkes telescope is located. Three
hundred thousand dollars will be spent
for the erection and equipment of
buildings on the college campus in this
city.
Miss Culver is about so years of age,
and some years ago inherited the es-
tate of her uncle, Charles j.. Hull,
whose housekeeper and accountant she
was for many years. Her estate is es-
timated at from $1,000, 900 to $40, 900.
She says that in making the gift she
is carrying out the ideas and honoring
the memory of her uncle, whose name
Will be borne by all of the buildings to
be erected.

+, Inspector CasSerly, who, under the
! supervision of the state labor bureau,
| is conducting the first investigation
of the factories of this city under
| the law passed by the legislature
last winter, regarding child labor.
The inspector has been engaged
in his present work for the past four
weeks, and says, as he did through
the G O b e shortly after he began
the work, that the law is being freely
violated by both parents and en-
ployers. AS result of his labors SO
far, he has found 200 children thus
Illegally employed. Basing his cal
culatio upon the above figures and
the number of places visited, Mr..
Casserly states that the minimum
total will in all probability reach 500,
all Of whom, when the investigation
is completed, will be compelled to
attend school for the required three
months in every twelve if the parents
will assist the bureau in its efforts.
The law provides that no child
under fourteen years Of age shall
be employed in any mine, factory,
ETC., and, further, that all children
between the years of fourteen and
sixteen so employed shall attend
some school for at least three months
in each year.
There are many reasons" said
Inspector Casserly yesterday, "why
child labor prevails so extensively in
st. Paul. In the first place, there is

discussed.
The educational convention today
was largely attended by teachers from
every part of Wabasha county.
The visitors are all favorably Inn
pressed with the excellent condition OF

needless to say that Wabasha feels

TAX ON PREMIUMS.
Suit Against LIOyds Fire COmpan-
les in New York.

Suit Against LlOyds Fire COmpan-
les in New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The fire de-
partment has begun suit against the
agents of the fire insurance Lloyds,
of this city. to recover a tax of 2 per
cent on the gross premiums received
by them from insurances affected on
property within the city since they
began business. The amount thus in
volved is thought to exceed 100000.
The question of that tax has been the
subject of discussion between the fire
department and the Lloyds for some
time, and the present action has been
brought to test the matter.
The test case has been brought
against the American Lloyds, and if
the present action is successful the
other associations will probably pay
the tax. There are about eighty of
the Lloyds who have agents in New
York, and the gross amount of pre-
miums received is large. The taxes, if
recovered, will, under the law, go to
replenish the pension fund of the fire
department.

the large laboring population, many
Of whom are foreigners, and most
all of whom are in poor circum-
stances. AS a means Of relief to
these families, and as second
potent cause of this system, the pro-
prietors of stores and factories
stand ready to employ the children
because they can be secured at very
low wages. AS a result of this COM
bination of circumstances, the chill
dren of these poor families find their
way into the confinement of stores
and factories as readily as do those
of more favored parents into the
public school rooms.
when we have finished our pres,
ent investigation we hope to see
great improvement in the condi-
tion of these small Wage-earnerS. We
will have a complete record of each
child, his residence, occupation of
parents, length of time in school
each year, ETC., which will greatly
facilitate our work, for, by the law,
all children under sixteen years Of
age will be practically under our
jurisdiction until they have passed
the required age. We are now con-
fining ourselves solely to the fac
tories, but it is not here, as might be
supposed, that the most fragrant vio-
lations Of the law occur. No child
under fourteen is allowed to enter
a factory, but in the large stores
there are many employed who are
scarcely eight years old. Thus young
they are denied the advantages of
schooling and home influences in or
der that a few paltry dollars may
each month be added to the family
exchequer.
"Of course continued Mr.. Casser-
when the children cannot be sent to
school, even for the prescribed three
months, but these are seldom met
with, and when they are, exceptions
are made by obtaining excuses from
the board of education. Our great
aim is to exert a moral and intellect
ual influence over these children, and
not simply enforce a law which
happens to be upon the statute
books In this we are greatly ham,
pered by the fact that, while we can
prosecute those who employ children
under age, we cannot force the OBJ
servance of the educational clause.
We can remove the children from
the factories and stores, but at pres
ent we cannot cause them to attend
school. This fact so limits our pow
ers that when parents cannot by
persuasive methods be made to send
the children to school, we are at a
loss to choose between allowing them
to work or to run the streets" Un-
doubtedly, of the two alternatives, it
is better for the child to be en-
ployed in some store, learning habits
of neatness and punctuality, than
running the streets with vicious
companions.
"What we need and sincerely hope
for" concluded Mr. Casserly. 'fs a
truant officer, empowered by the
state to see that after the child has
been discharged from. the factory or
store, he is put in attendance at
some school. In this way the prob
able spirit which originated the law
would be fulfilled and a great deal
more good accomplished"

GOLD SUPPLY INCREASES.
Treasury Is Receiving 1T Steadily
From the RnnISs.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The New York
Financier says this week: 1.-The state
ment of the associated banks of this
city for the week ending Dec. IA shows
an unexpected expansion of So, 170, 800 in
loans, which must be attributed as
much to the speculative excitement of
the past ten days as to legitimate de-
mand from mercantile sources for
money The interior movement of cur
rency for the week netted the New
York banks not less than two and one
half million dollars. This is probably
counted in the statement Against this
should be placed the loss through the
Withdrawals of legal tenders for the
gold shipments of the last part of last
week and the 81, 100000 withdrawn dur
ing the current week. These losses
have nearly offset the gain, but the
statement does not show it. The net
cash loss is 81, $50, 800. The specie item
is slowly increasing, but this accumu
lation is not at the expense of the
treasury, which is actually gaining
gold from the banks of the country
The only inference is that the clearing
house banks are going to first sources
for their specie, Issrhaps buying assay
office receipts from the producers or
bullion dealers. AT any rate they can
not be accused of helping themselves
at the expense of the treasury. The
gold holdings of the New York banks
are still about fourteen millions less
than the highest total reported during
