Now that the U. S. Supreme Court,
rs stated in yesterdays GAZETTE, has
determined that president" Debs, Of
the railroad strikers, shall remain IN
Jail for the full term to which ne was
sentenced by the Chicago court, he
may, possibly, at the expiration of that
time, conceive the idea that fire and
murder are not the best means for bet
tering the condition Of labor, and that
though the butt ends of coupling pins
and economy are very goods things of
their kind, the former, when availed of
as offensive weapons, and the latter,
when practiced in order to buy guns,
are any thing else than conducive to
the welfare of those who so distort
them from their legitimate use.

Success of the Electric Motor.

Thousands of electric motors are in
daily use, displacing steam and gas en-
gines and other forms Of power motors.
The secret of the electric motors sue
cess everywhere lies in the fact that,
for reliability, simplicity and certainty
of operation, it has no peer in the motor
field. 1t is compact, easily cared for,
unfailingly sure, and, with a continu-
Gus rotatory motion, it can be applied
to it's work with a. minimum Of expense
and complication. The sole question
Of it's aferential use by industrial
power 1sumers is that Of it's cost, in
Guiding the cost of operating and main
tanning the motor. The last five years
have brought the answer to this ques-
ton to an extent not generally realized.
IN New York it is estimated that not
less than 5000 horsepower in electric
motors is at present in use, and about
400 horsepower in Brooklyn, with not
less than 5000 additional horsepower
in motors for the electric traction sys-
tenn in Brooklyn.

larry known as the reversion, " will
have completed and published the re-
vision of the apocryphal books. There
was some objection to the revision of
this part of the Bible, owing to the fear
that the knowledge that they were for
centuries regarded as a part of the IN
spired Scriptures might disturb the
belief of plain, everyday people. They
are to be published, however, and who
ever cares to may compare them with
the books which have been pronounced
of divine inspiration and draw his
own conclusion. While the publication
of these books does not compare in i'm
portance with that of the revised Bible
it is interesting as being the official
completion of a task which IS Of no
small Importance to scholars and to
the history of literature.

MOdeSfY to BraC About.

Modesty, says the New York Mercury,
is precious grace, so precious and
withal so rare that some who have it
cannot bare to hide it under a bushel.
What is mans light good for if he
does not let it shine? Such a person
was lately holding forth after dinner.
Nearly all charitable acts" said he,
*'have vanity as their motive. For my
part, I hate ostentation. l remember
once when I was travelling in the
North of England where nobody knew
me I came upon lonely little station,
where, in the waiting-room, there was
fastened to the wall contribution box
for the benefit of the sufferers from a
recent flood which had occurred In that
district.
There was not soul there; nobody
saw me nor knew my name and went
and dropped a sovereign into the box
and slipped away unseen, unknown.
Nov, sir, what contend, is that my
secret Offering was more meritorious
one, intrinsically considered, than if it
had been made on public subscription
list, with loud flourish Of trumpets."
''You are quite right" said one of his
hearers. THAT was genuine modest
charity, and 1 don't wonder that you
brag about it,

eyes, one sees and hears queer things
among the poor children of the east
side," said a young woman who devotes
all her time to that large part of the
metropolitan community to a New York
Tribune man. Eve took party of lit
tie ones to Central Park the other day
and had the usual number of good and
naughty ones, as well as the quiet and
noisy kind. Two little tots who kept
away from all the rest attracted my at
tention went to speak to them. They
sat together, quiet and glum, and was
afraid they were bored. What's the
matter?' l asked Aren't you having
a good time?
''Oh, yes, miss-we are, it's awfully
nice, so green and-and, please what
place is this?'
Why, this is New York. I said.
els that so? We were thinking
about it, but didn't know there was any
country in New York. and if Miss -
was here now it would be fine
The little one had mentioned the
name of the young woman's sister in
the work of tightening the burden
which fate has imposed on even these
young children.
''Why, do you know" continued the
young woman, "that there's ever so
much sentiment among these little
ones. They listen eagerly to the stories
that have a sentimental turn and pre-
fer the songs that tell pathetic tale;
and then they are practical, too and be-
come little men and women when chill
dren of their age in the better walks
of life are still confined to the nursery.
It is nothing unusual to see little tot
of four or five take care Of a baby, not
for an hour or two, but for the whole
day. and the way they. do it, how they
forget their own pleasure and how they
deprive themselves of what is to them
comfort in order to tend to the baby
makes them really heroic little mothers.
ga funny thing happened the other
day." said the young woman. II had
gone into the country to bring home
party of Fresh Air children. They had
been away for two weeks, had enjoyed
themselves, and I doubt If many in the
party felt any Of those pleasures which
are associated with the words home
again. On seat far back in the car
sat two little fellows engaged in earn
est conversation.
"'Wot did you bring homer asked
one.

into the basket which contained his

Il wish I'd brought a bottle for my

''There was silence in the group for a
little while; each boy seemed busy with
his thoughts. At last the boy with the
'stickers and the sticks said: Say,
don't yer want to sell yer bottle?'
"There was a little more talk, an
other examination of the coveted bot

boy with the stickers giving nickel
for it. The spirit of trade or the love of
the coin was greater than the boys de-
