nothing to do. 1t Is day when they
should be amused, trained and IN
structed. The Sunday schools do not
teach them. The churches have no
hold upon them. AS several church
members in HeIls Kitchen said to me:
"The churches we belonged to have all
gone up toWn-they don't care for US;
they think anything is good enough
for u.s."
A bartender said that the biggest
rows they had were those among people
who had just come from church.

wolves some of them. One night a
pack of about twenty Of them were

years old. They would snatch his hat,
poke him with sticks, shove him head
long, guy him, and when he turned
and staggered after them they would
shout with glee. Yet they may be
easily trained for good.
One afternoon group of boys and
girls were gathered around something

These street associations are bad for
them-Very bad. The report of the

from bad street associations, and that
half of these are the products of bad

Surely this should impress upon the
churches and all social reform societies
that we should aim to reform the fam
lily life as the unit of the social organ
ism. Also that children should have
places to play where they wyuld not be
breaking a law ut every move.
In Hell's Kitchen the children are
SO used to seeing people enter saloons
that they 60 in freely after beer. When
they have built bonfire along comes
a policeman and kicks it out. The
law, to them, is what prevents their
having a good time either in the blow
of a parent or the interference of the
police. Their aim is to dodge the law.
They can easily be trained for good
citizenship. The parents win be found
ready to help. It needs, however,
somebody to reside among them and
be ready to save them from the dan
gers which come when they have moth

distinct games and invent fun for
themselves. In all. their noise and
play could not help the absence of
true child.like merriment. Among
the shouts and yells and cries and
shrieks that resound in Hell's Kitchen
you do not hear the jollty and merry
ring of a child'S laugh.
The nearest approach is the shout of
glee when q tease has made q child

W. C. T. o.

President Harrison is one of the
best speakers in America. In a
single campaign he made $40 re-
markable addresses, in which he
treated every subject pertaining to
the veal of the country save that
he had not one word to say about
the temperance reform. No public
man dares to assail it; the liquor
power forbids him. The Hon. John
Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, one
of the best Postmaster-G Generals,
was a man of high character. He
made speech before his Sunday
school when the constitutional
amendment for prohibition was
pending in Pennsylvania. On his
return to Washington the Monday
morning following, there was such
a scene as is not easily described.
He was dealt with for his unwisdom
in imperilling the party that had
first elevated him to his great Office.
Soon after the president of the w.
G. T. U. went to him with a copy
of the speech asking if it was cor
rect, as she wished to bring it out
in a leafet for general circulation.
He replied that he did not wish
the speech published; it had made
him trouble enough already. Good
man though he is he dare. not an
tagonize the liquor traffic. Grover
Cleveland stated in his letter Of &C
ceptance that he was opposed to
sumptuary laws that dictate what
a man shall eat, drink and wear,
As a lawyer he knew perfectly well
that the laws do dictate what a
man shall wear, but he was obey.

power which had whispered very
closely to him, "You stand by US
and we will stand by you; you
shall have another term at the
White House." And he got it.

THEY MEET ONCE MORE. .
The Joint Committees Held a Long
Session Last Night.

The members of the several com-
mittees who are investigating the
loyalty of Government employees
met last evening at the usual place.
After roll call Geo. P. Castle of tie
committee to obtain the official
pay rolls reported that he had been
successful and presented the pay
rolls of every department. These
were so complete that the name of
every man in the employ Of the
Government was to be found come
where on one or the other Of them.
The committee on rosters being
equally we'll prepared, there was
nothing left but to proceed to the
comparison of names, business
which occupied the committee until
a late hour.
The result of last nights session
is an authentic list of suspects"
from which the list to be presented
to the Executive and Advisory
Councils will be finally made.
This will be done at a special meet
ing tonight at which every member
is requested to be present. This
meeting will be an executive one
and probably the last to be held.

TWO MEN IN A BOAT.
A Member Of Company F Takes
More Water Than Usual.

Between 10 and II o'clock yester-
day morning two members of Com
pany F, Corporal Philips and Pri-
vate Gunther, concluded they
would like to take boat ride, and
procuring a boat from Shaw &
Balls boathouse they soon made a
start. Being more accustomed to
handling rifles than oars they soon
got into difficulties and in endeavor-
ing to turn the boat around near
the lighthouse it capsized, throwing
both men into the water. Gunther
could not swim little bit but for
tunately Philips could. He righted
the boat and got Gunther into it
and then swan with the boat back
to the boathouse, where Gunther
and the boat were both baled out.
Were it not for the courage and
presence of mind of Corporal
Philips there would be a vacancy
in the ranks of Company F tonight.

that if this is done the iron and steel manu-

of the Republican National Committee-some
$40 000-and leave a handsome balance for the

Congressman Grout Of Vermont, in answer
TO a reporter in Washington, said that the next
Republican candidate for the Presidency would
be either Thomas b. Reed, Levi y. Morton,
William Mckinley, or William b. Allison.
Gen. John C. New, who managed ex Presi-
dent Harrison's campaign for the nomination
for the Presidency, and was Consul General of
the United States at London during the Harri-
son Administration. in authorized interview
with the Associated Press, said: Gen. Har-
rison does not desire to for the Presidency,
aud is in no sense candidate, and the stories
that he has Withdrawn in the interest of any
one are without foundation in fact. Were his
advice solicited he would select neither Mr..
Mckinley nor Mr. Reed as the Repnb lican cam

state whom Gen. Harrison would prefer as a
candidate.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, who was ap-

by President Harrison, when shown the New

q correct representation OF the sentiments Of

friends of two leading candidates for the Pres-
dency." The Senator said lie did not know
Gen. Harrison's choice.

Prof. Louis Pasteur Dead.

Prof Louis Pastear the distinguished chem

suited in a great expansion Of the germ theory
and its application to useful purposes. Pas
teurization is largely practiced now in the
Continental countries. where beer and wine are
such important products.
His method of treatment for hydrophobia is
now known to the whole world The basis Of
his theory was that inoculation must be
