VERY LIBERAL RESPONSE.
Nearly 81, 900 Collected for st. JOSS
ennis Founding Home.

The response to Bishop O'Hara's ap-
peal In behalf of st. Joseph's Found
ling Home building fund has been most
liberal. All the churches in the diocese
have been heard from and the amount
realized Is in the neighborhood OF
ST., 900.

Peters cathedral. $3.50: St. Patrick's.
West Side. S3l2; Holy Rosary church.
Providence, $500; st. Mary's church,

railway. double-tracked. IL safer faster
and less expensive than two .so.called
competing lines, single-tracked and
poorly equipped and maintained. So 1t
Is not in the interest of a city to have
three or four rival companies supply
ing water, gas or electricity. 1t Is be-
coming an axiom in economics that in
all these cases the interests of the
public can be best protected. not by an
attempt to enforce competition. but by
public ownership or strict public con-
troll; that one good service IL better
and cheaper than two or three poor
ones, but that the state ought to see
that the benefit Of the saving goes to
the public.
But this Is. after all. only one phase
Of q situation which, to minds least
inclined to despondency. must appear
grave. The last half century has been
one of extraordinary Industrial devel-
opment. and in all that has been done
in this way the United States have fully
kept pace with the rest of the world.
In that country human energy, aided
by science. has been applied to natural
resources Of extraordinary richness. A
man would hardly have incurred the
reproach OF visionary IL he had ex-
pectcd from this happy conjuncture Of
circumstances a condition Of society in
which poverty would have been as ex-
ceptiOnal as cholera or leprosy on this
continent. 1t Is true that there are
Vices and weaknesses of character
which tend to produce poverty and
which no scientific progress can abol-
ish. The national drink bill. in spite Of
the VIGOROUS efforts Of the temperance
reformers, Is enormous. There is vol
untary idleness, there Is waste Of food,
there Is lack Of thrift in many ways.
But there Is a great mass Of poverty
which can by no means be attributed to
any of these causes.

IsHAM'S ORIENTAL AMERICA.
COlored Troupe Furnishes a Delight.
full Evening of Song and Mirth.

A crowded house at the Academy last
night enjoyed u novel and delightful
musical treat in John w. lsham's "Ori-
entail America" q pot-pOurri of solos,
duets, Quartettes, chomises and ope-
ratio selections rendered by q company
composed entirely of colored people.
Eight Of them, Belle Davis, Matte
Wilkes, Nine. Photo. Name Galloway.
Margaret Scott and Messrs. Woodward,
Jackson, Elkins and Johnson are solo,
lists of no mean order. The chorus sing
ing was superior to that of the average
opera company.
An artistic number which won
triple encore was Miss Belle Davis rem
dition Of the genuine negro melody. She
is an intelligent delineator of negro
character, sings in excellent voice and
possesses the happy faculty Of knowing
how not to override a thing. Billy Eld-
ridge, the leading comedian of the COM
pany. is great fun prOvoker, and is
easily the leader of grOtesque dancers.
The staging. particularly the electri-
cal effects, and the costuming are ella
borate in the extreme. The perform
ance will be repeated this evening.

Increase Is Unusual, but Not Of Such
Dimensions ns 1t Will Be When the

More Numerous Than Boys.

According to the reports now being

estimates that the average attendance
this year will be about 1000 more than
the average attendance last year.
The enrolment during September was
1855. OF this number 6,973 We're boys

SOME MODERN PROBLEMS
A Canadian Journal States Them Very
Clearly, But Does Not Throw Much
Light on Their Solution.
From the Toronto Globe.

From the Toronto Globe.
A judgment was rendered not long
since by an American court involving
the power of q city corpora ton to own
and control system of street railways,
Though the judgment favored the city,
one or two of the judges talked as il
state or municipal ownership of rail-
ways were dangerous form of social
ism. With many persons the boundary
between public and private action is
purely arbitrary, and is fixed by use and
wont rather than by reason. The aver
age man, for instance, regards the
proposition that education is a state af-
fair as self-evident, and where there
has been any conflict of authority it
has been between the state and the
church, the notion of allowing educa-
ton to be conducted by private busi-
ness enterprise being practically not
discussed at all. Yet 1t is tolerab bly,
certain that If the business of educat ation
had dropped opportunities for the rapid
accumulation Of wealth the state would
not have been allowed to control it
without a struggle, in which ii would
tiOn was perilous experiment in So
cialism.
Before the day of the railway no one
ever thought of denying that thc high
ways were public property. The intro
duction of the railway meant either
that the state should hand over the
highways or run trains The one prop
Osition involved as radical a change as
the other, but the choice was never
presented to the people in that plain
form: the railway service passed un-
der private control because the pro-
moters were sharper and more vigilant
than the lawmakers. 1t will be found
that many of the social problems of the
present day arise from the fact that
scientific invention and business enter
prise move so much faster than law
and government. The railway cannot
be regulated by the laws which were
made for stage coaches, nor can mod
ern trusts and combines be kept within
bounds by restraints which were franz
ed for another set of conditions. 1t is
one thing to prevent the grocers of a
town from forming q corner" in cam
dies, and another to deal with such n
huge monopoly as the Standard Oil
company. or to keep the price of illu-
minating gas or electricity within mod
Grafton. For some time 1t was supposed
that the public interest would be fully
protected by free competition; but it
has been demonstrated that free COM
petition in railways. or In the supply
of water, gas and electricity, is out Of
the question; that there is usually an
attempt at competition. which the riv-
ais find to be ruinOus and abandon,
substituting for 1t combination in
which the cost of the experiment is
taken out of the public. Economically
their position is sound. One line e

as compared with former years 1t Is
not by any means phenomenal. and he
hesitates to say that the compulsory

CENSUS OF THE CHILDREN.
Secretary Fellows has a census of all
children between the ages of s and 13,
who by the act are required to attend
school and it is expected that the board
will direct him, at the next meeting, to
proceed to compile q list Of non-attend-
ing children between those ages. This
will be done by sending to the prin-
cipal of each school the names OF all
children in the district served by that
school and have that officer make a
return of such as are not on the roles.
Then the parents of the absent chill
dren will have to he visited by an
attendance officer" for which the law
provides, and if the children are found
to be in attendance at neither pri-
vate, parochial or other school where
In the English branches are taught,
1t will be the duty of the attendance
officer to report the parents as vio-
lators of the law and the board will
have to proceed against thea.
