WHAT do Superintendent Byrne

WHAT do Superintendent Byrnes
and Inspector Williams think of
the fate of their former co-laborer,
Capt. Stephenson, the gentleman
that went to Sing Sing for three
years for having accepted present
of three baskets of peaches? What
do the people of New York and the
balance of this country think of it.
In all the police exposures only
one man has been sent to prison
and that is the small dealer that
got a few peaches. AS the saying
goes, "There are Others" but they
got something richer than peaches,
and they continue to command.
We do not think anybody in New
York is worrying over the situation,
unless it be Capt. Stephenson. But
in some communities it would be
thought that justice had squinted.
Under the circumstances the Cap
tains fate should be mourned.

THE action of the Council in
passing resolutions authorizing the
holding of special election for the
issuing of bonds, for the building
of water works, sanitary and storm
drainage of which the DEMOCRAT
so ardently advocated and was the
first to announce its victory to our
citizens, is a move in the right di-
rection and we hope that the people
of Logan will come to the front and
work earnestly for its success. Wa
ter works we will need and in
course of a short time must have
and the soonerit is completed the
sooner we will enjoy its merits.

cial aud municipal Mnes without
disturbing the system Of political
ipstitutions-simply adapting y to
the social needs of the time.
During the last ten years John
Burns has bulked larger In the eyes
of the working people Of England
than any other popular leader.
First as agltator and demagogue
he was to be found in the spare
hours which he spent outside the
engineers shop speaking at street
corners and common in Battersea
and coming into conflict with the
police. He was the "man with the
red flag" who became the orator
for the crowds Of unemployed who
gathered in Trafalgar square, and
got himself many times arrested,
twice tried, and once convicted for
seditious conspiracy. He pleaded
for the poor and thundered against
the privileged in the peoples forum
Of Hyde park, and wherever there
was work to be done in strikes or
in agitations, or wherever there
were heads to be broken, Burns
was to be found In the midst Of the
discontented, ready to run any
risks, legal or physical.
All this stormy work in the early
years of the agitator has been
changed for calmer but not less de-
tel mined tactics. Burns has be-
come a power in the land. Glasses
who formerly despised him now
respect him; the police who baton
ed him now bow TO him; Battersea,
which was ashamed of him, now
glories in him; London, which look
ed upon him with alarm and felt
safer when he was in Pentonville
prison, now treasures him as val
liable public servant. The agitator,
demagogue and Socialist has be-
come a municipal statesman parlis-
mentarian without losing his indi-
viduality, or without sacrificing his
opinions. - Robert Donald, In Re

A Sonth Carolina Young Woman Max.

Ayoung woman from South Caro-
lima has been: paying long holi-
day visit to New York, all the ex-
penses of which have been betrayed
from the outcome Of a triflng Incl
dent which occurred to her two
years ago. At that time her sister
was at school in England, and,
thinking that the absent sister
might like to seesomething of home
she sent her a cardboard box con.
tanning couple of twigs of half
opened cotton pods. These were
seen by q London florist of ideas,
who found out what they were and
where they came from, and then
commissioned the schoolgirl to
write to her sister making the offer

The proposition was accepted
and for two seasons now the young
woman has sent oyer each year

her good spirits when she learned
that the decorative purposes" FOL
which the half.opened pod were te

that, tied up in white or pale

RELIC OF OLD DAYS.
First Iron Furnace West OF the ALE.
ghenies Crumbling Away Near
Prestou.


Midway between .Owingsville
and Preston, in Bath county, stands
the we'll preservered yet slowly
crumbling stack of the first iron
furnace built west of the Allegheny
Mountains. This primitive plant
was erected just after the Revolu-
tionary war by Col. Thomas Dye
Owings, a wealthy veteran emf
grating from Maryland. The work
was begun in 1884, but the first
blast was not made until in the
summer of 1889. Ore for the blast
ing was secured on Slate creek,
where there are yet extensive
mines in constant operation.
The plant flourished until the
panic of the early '3O's, when the
finances of the Colonel were swamp
ed and the business irreparably
shattered. It was never revived,
and from that day the furnace has
been left wholly to the ravages of
time. The Colonel, broken in health
and fortune, drifted westward to
Texas, and later acquired quite an
estate with the assistance of his
energetic sons.
During the life of the old furnace
the product was transported to a
great extent by land to the Ohio
river and thence by hatboats to
the markets. Much Of the output
went for the manufacture of cannon
balls, especially in the early part
Of the present century, and the guns
of Old Hickory's command at the
battle of New Orleans, January 8,
1916, were shotted with balls cast
ut this furnace and transported to
that point by fatboats. The prop
erty is now owned by the Preston
heirs, and there Is q feeling among
the patriotic sons Of Bath county
for securing the historic landmark
and converting its surroundings In
to public park. AS the present
owners offer to donate 1t TO the
county under satisfactory guaran-
tee Of Its support in that way, this
idea will in all probability be car
rled out-Louispille Courier Jour-
nal.

British Holders Of Pacific Bonds Send
a Lobbyist to Washington.

The most interesting develop
ment Friday in the rapidly con-
verging conditions by which the
Pacific Railroad muddle Is to be
cleared up was the news received
here of the coming visit of Sir Riv-
ers Wilson, as the representative Of
English share holders, in the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad. Information
which reached the Capitol that AZ
ternoon was to the effect that Sir
Rivers was on his way here to op.
pose the Mcguire bill and to confer
with Sir Julian Pauncefote to see
II some protection for the British
interests involved could not be de.
vised.
Various members Of the House
upon receipt of this information
we're very indignant, and did not
hesitate to term the visit practice
ally lobbying trip.
Representative Mcguire, Of Cali
fornia, who is the leader in the
House in opposition to the Riley
funding bill, and whose. leadership
seems to be practically the goal Of
this English visitation, discussed
the matter; in no mineing terms.
"Of course this Englisnman is per-
fectly free to come here at his own
inclination, just as are other lobby
lists who infest the Capitol, but I
would advise him to leave of his
proposed consultation with Sir Ju.
lian Pauncefote II he means to in.
woke any interference on the part
Of the English Ambassador. I am
not building up any man of straw
to be torn down, hut If Sir Julian
or any other foreign representative
here should attempt to interfere
with general legislation on the
floor OF the House, either as lob
byist or pretending to represent the
interests of his own country,
would not hesitate to demand that
his passports be given him. II
makes no difference to us how
many Englishmen hold Central Pa.
cific Railroad bonds. Our purpose
is to enact legislation for the pro.
lection of the United States, and
we are not making any specific at
tack on British interests. If we
should attempt to pass bill spe.
cifically multiplying all Pacific bonds
held by the Englighmen there
might be some cause for formal
protest from Sir Julian. But under
no other circumstances would an
Interference be brooked by the
American Congress-"
There is no doubt that Sir Rivers
Wilson will have plenty of com
pany about the lobbies of the Capt.
tol, who will work with him in an
effort to oppose any scheme for the
f0reclosuresss of the Government
mortgage upon the Pacific Railroad
property. Every day the agents oi
the various interests involved are
bolder and more open in their work
about the House.

west side of Ha1 lem and has been doing

man has with him two cows, which he
leads through the street, yelling at the
top of his voice: "Here you are Nice
fresh milk on tap!" The charge for the
milk is IL cents quart and cents a
glass. The majority of his customers
seem to be the mothers of young chill
dren, who watch the milk drawn fresh
from the COW without any fear of its
being adulterated or skinned before it
reaches them. When asked how he was

An Orphan Girls Good Fortune.

The return Of Miss Anna Delaplaine
Of Madison, Wis, to her home after o
year spent with relatives in England,
one of whom, Sir Richard Tangye, &C
companied her, has brought up her ro-
mantle story. When little girl, she
was left an orphan and was committed
to the Mendoza asylum for a slight
nervous disorder. The attention of Miss
Blanche Delaplaine, daughter of the
late General Delaplaine, was attracted
toward the child, and she took her
home, where she soon recovered her
health. She was then legally adopted
by Miss Delaplaine and assumed the
latters name.
In 1890, through magazine article,
Miss Delaplaine's attention was called
to the fact that there was q family III
London bearing the same name as that
of her ward, Tangye, and she wrote tc
them, telling the child's story. Prompt
ly came an answer claiming the child az
a cousin, and from that time on the
English relatives have sent the young
girl beautiful gifts and year ago in
sisted upon her visiting them. Sir Rich
ard Tangye is a self made man of great
wealth, whose fortune was made by the
invention of the hydraulic jack, with
which the Great Eastern was launched.
He and his brother own mammoth
works in Birmingham and London and
in Cornwall and employ thousands of
men. Two years ago Sir Richard was
knighted by the queen. Chicago ChrOn-
