Twine as a wooden image does to the

Last Friday an effort to rush

The senate amendments TO
Wyman's Mining bill were CON
CURED in by the house,
The Thomas bill empowering sq
county commissioners to issue
bonds to fund outs landing war
rants or bonded Indebtedness
was passed without a dissenting
voice. The measure is without
doubt one OF the most important
considered in either house. As #
relieves counties from embarrassg
mept caused by the recent decis-
ions of the supreme court that
left old warrants in position
where they could not be redeemeq
except from excess revenues.
Burnett's mine inspector bill
passed fixing the salary OF $l7Q0
with expenses not to exceed $4,000
per year, was passed % to A.

THE MISSING LAMB.

Mrs. A. NJ GARDNER OF Nebraska, who
was lost from the fold of the Chris
tian Endeavorer convention in Boston,
and whose mysterious disappearance
naturally has aroused more concern than
the well being OF the ninety and nine
who were accounted for when the sun
went down, has turned up all right in
Norwich, Conn.
1t is doubtless great relief to public
sympathy that this Endeavorer has
suffered no harm and has done nothing
more wicked than to abandon her hus-
band and family--which she did with
premeditation and skillful method. 1t
would appear that the charm OF life in
an Eastern city made her dread to 90
back to the drudgery OF farm in
Nebraska. In the pretty city of Norwich
she sought honorable employment as a
domestic, and when discovered was
happy and contented. OF course she
ought not TO have abandoned her hus-
band and her children. II may seem
queer that she should want to leave
them. But II is good deal OF relief.
after all, to learn that Mrs. GARDNER ia
so nearly all right as she seems to be.
No doubt, too, she will long to go back
home again, some day. Home Is great
place, after all, even on Nebraska farm.

Some Aged Bishops.
Boston Herald.

The late Bishop Howe was the oldest mem
Der in point OF years in the House of Bishops,
though Bishop Williams is tho oldest in point
of conservation, having for this reason the
title OF presiding bishop. The fact that
neither he nor Bishop Clark could be present
at the funeral on account OF physical infirmi-
ties shows that physically these two bishops,
who have long been identified with the Epis-
copal Church in New England feel the burden
OF their years. Bishop Clark is infirm and
slowly failing. though his "Reminiscences'
gives proof that his mind has lost nothing
OF its yivacity or power. Bishop Williams has
been for Al y ears at the head of the Connecti-
cut diocese, and Bishop Clark quite recently
celebrated the 10th year OF his episcopato in
Rhode Island. BISHOP NeeIy OF Maine was
consecratei in 1867, and Bishop Niles of New
Hampshire in 1870. Bishop Hall of Vermont
and Bishop Lawrence are among the young
men of the episcopate. Bishop Williams was
born in 1917 Bishop Clark in 1872 Bishop Coke
in 1878. Bishop Huntingdon IN 1919, Bishop Will
mer in 1876 Bishop Morris in 1919 and Bishop
Whipplo in 1922. These are the oldest in years
and in date OF conservation. The late Bishop
Howe was born in lS09, and Bishop Clarke il
the next oldest to him.

SPRING VALLEYS TURBULENCE.

There is war in progress in the State
of Illinois, beside which the Bannock
"uprising' is an Insignificant man hunt.
1t is race war, the Italian miners of
Spring Valley setting themselves up
against the negro miners. From all re-
| ports it is a vicious contest and the
Italians have had the better OF it from the
| start.
A long period of i'll feeling between the
Italians and negroes brought about per-
sonal encounters, and these in turn have
set the entire population up in arms.
Killing has resulted, and now the Italians
in body have raided the negro houses
and cleaned them out of the town. The
disgraceful business was not gently done.
Household effects were thrown into the
street, and women and children were
abused. Most of the negro men had
already fled, as 1t was case of life and
death with them.
Princeton, H., the little oity that
seems to be the center of the turbulent
Spring Valley district, is now in control
OF the Italians. The Mayor, many MEM
bers OF the city government, and police
force are Italians. Princeton is, today,
an Italian city in the State of Illinois,
and American citizens, at any rate those
OF negro blood, cannot remain within
its walls The Italian coal miners are on
strike, and the entire population is in
sympathy with them, and supports them
in their purpose to drive out negroes or
anybody else who are disposed to take
the places in mines which the Italians
have left, pending settlement OF their
grievances.
The episode is disgrace to the State
of Illinois.

MANAGER WILLARD of the vigilant /

MANAGER WILLARD OF the Vigilant is
a thorough-going sportsman. He be-
lieves in standing up for his boat with
promptness and vigor, through thick
and thin. He has protested against De-
fender, just as he ought to have done IL
he believed his boat had not had fair
show. The fact that there was another
side to the controversy, as there is to any
about, didn't prevent a lot of people from
promptly pitching into Defender, her
management, her sailing master, her de-
signer and about everything connected
with her. The fact that the only arbiter
In the case, the only court that was in a
position to know all the facts, the regatta
committee, has decided in favor OF the
other side, Of the Defender, doesn't pre-
vail to "call of the dogs" though Nh.
WILLARD, being sportsman, will abide
by the decision. We guess good many
people get more enjoyment stopping
over, these warm days, than any other
pastime that was ever invented. And the
Defender has from the start afforded
lovely opportunity for the indulgence.

she resembles Parisienne more closely than

IL gifted and versatile. She possesses literary
az wei as dramatic talent, one of her recent
feats being the writing Of four act play
within the space Of week. People who at
tended the Garrick Theater performances last
spring Will remember her spirited portray al
OF the Irish maid in Beau Brummell' and
the old housekeeper in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..

the stage during her schoolday period in

the young girl insisted on studying dramatic
ART under the tuition of certain OF the great

sufficient skill in both comic and emotional
acting TO encourage definite hopes Of her

The New York Postonlce.


IL anyone has any doubt as TO the magni-
tude of the work done by the New York Post
Office he should study with care the figures
recently published showing the business Of
the last fiscal year. We viii cite none of them
here. save to say that the total receipts were
onward OF seven and a quarter millions of
dollars, and that the net receipts amounted
to "a, 2S2. S57 50. An institution which earns
that amount of money for the Governpent in
"A single year Is surely deserving OF liberal
treatment. But the fact remains that the
New York Postoffice IL not appreciated at
Washington and that the money required for
running IL properly is doled out in niggard
fashion. A liberal policy Is demanded, not
only in behalf Of this city. but OF the coun.
postal distributing center Of the United
States.
