Pious Indians.

The history of Canada, especially its earlier history, preserves the story of many deed of heroism and devotion on the part of Christian missionaries who worked and perished among the In- dians, but there are few stories which reflect so much credit on Indian piety as that published from Quebec. Mon- tagnais and Eskimos came from the southern shore of Hudson strait to wor- ship in the province of Quebec. This in- volved a tramp on foot of 1000 miles through an inhospitable country, through forests, across rivers, mountains and lakes, to render duty they owed to their religion. Boston Transcript

The famous Zante currant case which occu-

Jones & Co.. the importers, who brought the
original action, are not satisfied with the deci-
sion of Judge Morrow whereby they were COM
PEELED to pay a duty of one and half cents per
pound on all Zante currants brought to this
country. Yesterday their attorney fled an
appeal in the United States Court of Appeals,
but it will probably not be reached for several
months to come. In the meantime an effort is
being made by New York parties to test the
law in that State. They believe that the Dis
trict Court there would hold differently from
Judge Morrow and If decision could be OBJ
tanned taking of the Objectionable duty, the
appeal fled yesterday would be withdrawn.

NoN-PARTISAN BOSSES.
Scheme to Secure Another Demo-
cratic u. s. Senstor-Repub-
lIcanS May Bolt.


There is lack of harmony in the Nom
Partisan Convention on the proposition to
nominate or indofse candidates for the
Senate and Assembly. 1t was understood
by many of the appointed delegates
among those who had acted with the Re-
publican party on State and National
questioDs-that the convention would
not go further than the nomination of a
municipal ticket.
The impression is very strong that
Frank Sullivan, who is ]. D. Phelan's
brother-in-law, and Barclay Henley pulled
the Non-Partisan string In the beginning
TO help Phelan. Now there is a growing
suspicion that Democratic aspirants for
the United States Senate are seeking to
manipulate affairs so as to prevent the Re-
publicans from gaining the Legislature.
The pretext advanced for interfering in
the contest for the Legislature is that
pledges TO support the new charter are de-
manded in the event OF that instrument
going before the Legislature.
The constitution provides that a char
ter accepted by the voters of city must
be ratified by the Legislature in order to
become a law. The Legislature cannot
amend it. 1t must accept the charter as a
whole or reject it.
Republicans who were at first inclined
to lend their support TO the Non Partisan
scheme, hoping that better municipal
government might be secured by such
support, perceive now the cunning work
OF crafty Democratic politicians, and are
ready to swing back into the regular Re-
publican column.
The Non-Partisans tonight may go
anead with the legislative ticket, but the
scneme is so transparent that few Repub-
means will be deceived.

August Schrader, known as sfhe divine

Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth OF the Vol

evening.
She Immediately launched out upon her

much real beneficial work there was to be
done behind the gloomy bars.

TRYING TO COVER
Up THE SCANDALS
The Board of Health Comes
in for Condemna-
tion.
The Receiving Hospital Should
Be Open to Newspaper !.
Men.
PROTECTION TO employees.
Mayor Sutro Says That All Public
Institutions Should Be Wide
Open to Reporters.

The evident intention of the Board of
Health to prevent any scandal that may
hatch in the Receiving Hospital through
the treatment OF patients or their belong
ings by employees from coming to light by
passing rule preventing any one from
having access to the operating-room has
aroused widespread indignation.
In years gone by stories that have
shocked the community have found their
way to the surface through the hospital
being made a secret place screened from
the observation of the public, and those
who understand the manner in which
hospitals are conducted freely pre-
dict that just such stories will bs afioat
again if the order of the board is carried
into effect.
The health authorities do not seem to
realize that the presence of outsiders, par
ticnlarly newspaper reporters, is a protec-
ton to the employees. A case in point
was that of a young woman who was
brought in a lew days ago suffering from
poison.
In order to discover her identity her
purse was opened in the presence of a
couple of reporters in the hope that some
of her cards might be in il. The coin
pocket was examined, and it was seen by
all that there was but 65 cents contained
there. After the patient had been taken
home her mother called at the hospital
and claimed that her daughters purse
had contained several dollars in silver
when she was taken to the hospital.
It was not long ago that great scandal
arose over the loss of the clothing and
other effects of a man who was first taken
to the Receiving Hospital and later. when
ne died, to the Morgue. The officials of
each institution claimed that the others
were responsible for the loss Further
back still, when the hospital was in the
old Citv Hall, the loss of q large sum of
money that was known to have been on
the person OF patient when he was taken
in caused an investigation that threw
much odium on the hospital employees.
The general impression is that the Board
of Health has made false move-one
arising more from ignorance than any
thing else-and one that can hardly fail to
breed scandals in the hospital.
s'I am heartily in favor of allowing re-
porters in all public institutions and Civ
ing them every opportunity for the fullest
investigation of everything pertaining
thereto,' said Mayor Sutro yesterday.
REPORTERS are the eyes OF the public,
and they see for the public. There is no
public institution that is not better for
having its workings open to the newspa-
