Samuel Snella and William Reed. five
rundways from the Lutheran Orphans
School, at Loyshurg, Perry county, were
captured in this city yesterday. The
boys make grave charges OF cruelty
against Grant Warner, male attendant
at the institution. On one occasion, the
boys allege, Warner beat a sickly boy,
twelve years OF age, until the blood dripped
from his hack, and when the lad went 10

-Four OF the runaways are members OF
the school band, and they say that they
have been required to practice for the
annual inspection during play hours, and
hence they concluded to get away at the
first opportunity. The charges made by
the runaways will originate an investi
cation on the part of the Lutherans of
Altoona.

Bailey Circus King.
James A Bailey, the man aging proprietor
of the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth, although he is an expert in amuSe-
mentS, having furnished recreation for more
people in the last fifteen years than any
other man in the country, takes very little
recreation himself.
He is the hardest working man about the
big enterprise which he so successfully tii-
rects, and spends almost his entire time on
the show grounds during the tenting sea-
son, and all winter long he is up before
the sun and busy in the New York office
of the big show preparing new wonders
for the next tour. He has not q waking
moment the year round that is not devoted
to the Barnum Bailey enterprise. He has
an almost limitless capacity for mastering
details and wonderful faculty of organ
ization.
He is, moreover, man of broad views
and daring plans. H. unites the qualities
of the statesman and financier, which are
manifested in planning great schemes, with
the painstaking attention to details which

Embarrassment in San Francisco.

The San Francisco Christian Endeavorers
have been placed in most awkward pre-
dicament through their desire to secure
the best available poetic talent for the
preparation of their ode of welcome to the
visiting delegates. IL was early agreed
that the fairest method of approaching this
end was 10 place the poem in competition,
offering a prize to the writer of the ode
that was adjudged to meet most fully the
spirit and needs of the occasion. The
Judges were to be actuated only by their
literary tastes in awarding the prize and

numbers and corresponding numbers were
affixed to slips bearing the names of the
authors which We're carefully sealed until
after the award had been made The poem
that received the Judgment far SUI

light OF the Judges was changed to cha
grin when its number in the list of authors
was found to belong to one of the most
notorious men-about-tOHn in San Fran

TO send a chill Of apprehension down the
spIueS OF the managers of the convention.
They stuck to their terms. however. pub

was thought TO he the end of the trouble.
but when the delegates began to arrive
there general demand To have the
author of the ode OF welcome which was
widely admired presented to the conven-
ton. This placed the committees in d

Mr. NcEnery Of Louisiana was the only
democratic senator to east vote i'll favor
OF the tariff bill lie announced at the
outset that the policy of the government
was that of protection, and as the bill 10
bc prepared would be a protection meas
ure. he would ask that the interests OF his
own state be considered in II. He acted
throughout consistently that line. The
bill al last was ready to be voted ON. 1t

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1897-07-10

The conference between the two houses
of Congress on the tariff bill Is very i'm
portant function-so important. indeed. that
il should have little to do either with any
feeling of rivalry between the two bodies.
or with any pride of personal opinion The
business in hand Is of the highest moment
to the whole country. and should be set
tied with the countrys interests kept solely
in view
While this is a plain duty. it must be
admitted tt at there are difficulties In the
way of doing II. The House feels resentful
toward the Senate for its treatment of the
Dingley bill and with every reason. The
mutilatiOn of that measure by the subcom-
Inittee of the Senate finance committee was
almost wanton. 1t was done without rhyme
or reason. and i'll a way to suggest that
the work in the main was that of single
man seeking to impose his individual views
and ends upon his party after leaders OF
the highest repute and capacity in the
party who had been commissioned to attend
to the business had faithfully and wisely
executed their task. But the country knows
the story. and has passed upon it. Mr..
Dingleys position as a party leader is in
fnitely stronger than that of Mr.. Aldrich
as the result of the clash.
the best results possible out of the confu-
sion into which the Senate has plunged
the matter. Practically. there are two bills
before the conferees, the Dingley bill and
the remains of the Aldrich bill. and the
point at issue is TO effect a good compro-
mise. The best compromise for the country
would be the original Dingley bill. with
such changes as would take note of the
heavy anticipatory imports that have been
made since the bill passed the House. But
the Senate will insist on some of its work.
and some of it will have to be accepted.
Upon two propositions. however. much
depends. and 1t is to he hoped that upon
both of them the House will make reso-
lutte stand: % \ sugar schedule which shall
lie free from the imputation of Trust in
