 son-in-law assumes the patronymic of
 his fatherin-law.
 The Family Holdings.
 He places a certain amount of confi-
 dence in his thousands of officers. but he prefers to trust as much as he can to
 his sons and daughters. This is the way
 he has distributed them:
 Ballington Booth United States com- mander.
 Bramwell Booth, English commander Maraeschael Booth, commander in France and Switzerland.
 Mrs. Booth-Tucker. commander in In dia.
 Eva Booth, travelling commissioner Lucy Booth, female training homes. Herbert Booth, Canadian commander As rapidly as the grandchildren grow up they will be installed in the places of honor and responsibility. Herbert Booth, 1t is believed, will assume command in the United States when his brother, Bal lington Booth, goes back to London. He is the youngest of the brothers. and for some time has been commander of the forces in Canada. It Is barely possible that Ballington Booth will be permitted to remain. although it will be bitter pill for the old general to swallow if he Is forced to change his mind. He abhors dictation of any kind. and, moreover. | he is English to the core. The fact that BalIlngt0n fSOOUn IS d. clt1Ltn bl tut United States and has become impreg- mated with American ideas and customs has long been a thorn in the side of the old general He is determined to per- petuate the English flavor of the army, even if he has to sacrifice one of his children to do it.
 Rich Income. The annual income of the army Is s3.- 645OOO Sometimes this is not enough to meet the improvements which General Booth is constantly mapping out, but he has a constant stream of gold always at hand. He can order fast day se- ries of fast days by the army in all parts of the world. The saving in single day by such fast is immense. Or, if the na- tonal commanders have pet project in view, they can order fast. and the mon- | ey saved is always a considerable sum. When Ballington Booth and his wife conceived the idea of building in inn posing New York headquarters in West Fourteenth street they had to raise $350.- 900. MT. and Mrs. Booth have never ask ed any of the common soldiers in the army to do anything which they would not do themselves It was no small ia six to raise the $350, 900, but it was done with many sacrifices. There were innumera- ble fast days. in which MT and Mrs. Booth participated. Few new dresses or uniforms were purchased and old shoes were repatched many times. When tens of thousands of persons are seized with the saving spirit in this way the results are enormous.
 This is merely sample instance of tha way the army accumulates money. Gen eraI Booth could have fast day in each week of the year if necessary. if he de- sired to erect another fine building. The army has forty-four different pubIica- tionS, with an aggregate circula tiOn of more than LOGO. .000. There are 4345 corps commanded by 12,O5O officers, the world over. divided follows:

Later he was made special travelling commissioner and made several trips around the world
 visiting all the headquarters. Fer the past three years he has been in Canada

ness enormously. For instance, the
price of a farmers wheat is regulated
by the market in London or Liverpool.
If he gets 80 cents a bushel there, with
gold at premium of from 81. 80 to 81,
he brings his money back, changes it
into Mexican money, and it practically
doubles, so that he gets from ST. to
$3.50 per bushel. Take another in
stance; a man manufacturing plows
does so on an average for 81 Mexican,
these he exports to the United States,
pays the duty and sells for Sc in gold.
He takes his Sc back to Mexico, and
with gold at a premium of 81 80 his IS
becomes $11.40. The manager of the
Bank of London and Mexico said to me
that he hoped gold would go to pre-
MUM of $3.50, for if it did it would be
just so much additional protection, and,
he added, ''the Mckinley tariff in your
country never protected farmer, but
the premium on gold protects not only
the farmer. but every other industry,
including labor, and costs nothing to
collect it.
There is no such thing in Mexico as
a fifty-cent dollar, and there never has
been such a thing there. On the con-
trary, gold has fuctuated from 81 in
1873, to POI in 1898. A Mexican dol
lar, measured by the amount of every
thing else which it purchases, has prac-
tically remained unchanged across a
hundred years. while during that time
gold has Topped around at least 100 per

WORSE THAN TYRANNY.

The sale of Lawrence b. Peak into in
voluntary servitude at EliZabethtOwn.
KY, in the early part of the month, is
only a sample of what the American
people will come to unless they reas-
sert their independence in tones more
vigorous than polite The spectacle Of
an American citizen being auctioned
from the block to the highest bidder,
and bound into a taskmaster's care for
1916 is enough to make revolutionary
blood leap to the veins of Benedict Ar
mold, and any legislator, be he from
Kentucky or Siberia, who would vote
for such a law directly antag0nizing not
only the constitution, but human de-
cency, ought to be crlcified on porcu-
pine cross warmed to white heat.
The same officer who sold this indi-
vidual auctioned off a jackass immedi-
ately after from the same block and
fiendishly remarked that the animal
would bring more than the man, which
it did, selling for $27. AS a justifica-
ton of the outrage, the officers allege
that the man was a common drunkard,
a sot, scapegrace, and the shame OF
the town. Had he never drawn sober
breath from the time of his birth and
committed crimes which would put Os-
car Wilde to shame, no justification
would appear for the sale Of human
flesh in a civilized nation, and the pro-
ceeding is more Of a disgrace to this
Kentucky hamlet than regiment OF
whisky sots could possibly be. It is

LABOR'S CRY.

written for the Representative
Plough long ruthless burrows, Lord;
Plough them deep and sure;
Plough them through the nations heart;
If, thus, her wrongs Thoult cure;
For dark the evils that assail,
When man is less than greed;
When brawny muscle strains in vain,
To meet it's daily need.
Hateful is the chink of gold,
Hard-wrung from sweating TOLL
And hatefuller the damning thought,
Which makes the soul recoil,
That wrong may trample on the right,
And laugh at human woe;
That mighty workshops grimly close,
When tyrants will it so.
That labor stands and begs in vain,
For chance to earn its bread,
While capital DER rides the land,
And fills mems hearts with dread;
That demagogues usurp the seats,
Which patriots should adorn;
That gold now buys the shameless vote,
And hOnOr's laughed to scOrn.
Drive today. Thy ploughshare, Lord,
Through soil that hard was won;
Plant, once more, noble seed;
Give us a Washington,
To lead the nation righteously.;
Through fiery stress and strain;
Relentless, plough, with iron hand,

Thad Kellogg, the young clerk who
attempted to blackmail another clerk
in the employ of Courtenay, Case *
Gravelle by means of threatening let
tiers, was permitted to plead guilty to
a misdemeanor yesterday and Judge
Speer sentenced him to six months in
the county Jail. The information
against Kellogg had been drawn under
section 91S of the penal code, which
provided: Every person who, know
ing the contents thereof. and with IN
tent by means thereof, to eXtort or
gain money or other property, or to do,

any person any deformity or disgrace,
or to expose any secret affecting any
person, is punishable by Imprisonment
in the state prison. not exceeding five
years. or by fine not exceeding $4,000,
or both"
Kellogg had written several letters
to a young man named Leary threat
ening to accuse him OF stealing from
his employers and demanded S25 as the
price of his secrecy. A demurrer was
filed to the information against him,
but IL was withdrawn yesterday morn
ing with the understanding that he
plead guilty to a misdemeanor as de-
fined in section S19 Of the penal code,
which reads as follows: Every person
who. knowing the contents thereof
sends. delivers, or in any manner
causes to be sent or received any letter
or other writing, whether subscribed or
not. threatening to do an unlawful in
Jury TO the person or property OF an
other, is guilty of a misdemeanor."
Kellogg's attorney made plea for
leniency. saying IL was the young
mans first offense and hinted at some
unfortunate influences 10 which KEEL
logg had yielded. Judge Speer replied
that the defendant was very fortunate
in being permitted 10 plead guilty TO a
misdemeanor and said he thought the
young man was Of class who should
be taken care OF as they were danger
