"A Case of Conienture.


When ]. Pierpont Morgan, the patron
of bishops and exalted pillar of the
church, is at his devotions; when with
a gilt-edged prayer-book in his hand he
wiggles himself into more comforta-
BILE position in his satin-lined pew, so
magnificent and gorgeous, does he
think of the starving miners who are
suffering through his efforts and that OF
his colleagues in the coal trust? When
he reads the lessons of charity and
goodwill toward men, does he think OF
the tyrannous system that reduces
wages to the subsistence point, or is he
figuring on some new combination
whereby he can augment his plethoric
fortune? When the organ peals forth
does not his conscience supply a dis
cord with the walls and cries of those
whose lives are sacrificed to the
voracious demands Of his class? Per-
haps.
Perhaps he realizes the fact that
the class he represents has nearly had
its day; that it is about to be weighed
in the balance and found wanting.
Perhaps he hears amidst the organ
tones the sounds of coming strife, when
opulence and avarice will give an ac-
count of their stewardship.
Perhaps it at least dawns upon him
that he and his class are feeding the
furnaces that belch forth revolution;
that the criminal rich and their nang-
ers on are a menace to our system Of
government, Perhaps he recognizes the
fact that society, as it is at present
constituted, is a little out Of balance;
that the rich are too rich, and the poor
are too poor, and that once in while,
down through the centuries, it was
found necessary to hang a few Of the
former class to restore the equilibrium.
Perhaps he thinks these thoughts;
perhaps he doesn't. Anyway, evolu-
ton, If stopped In its course, will breed

An American firm has received the
contract for the equipment Of a new
electric railroad for London, England,
amounting to about $4,000. 600 The
reason is that the greater, experience
of American manufacturers in con
structing electrical machinery makes
our machinery better and cheaper.

The excitement over the discoveries
OF gold in the Klondike region shows
little abatement, although the begin
ming of the Arctic winter is at hand. At
the middle OF this month three thou
sand adventurers, with two thousand
tons of freight, were waiting at the en-
trance to the White Pass In Alaska
for an opportunity to cross the noun
tains 20 the Yukon river. Probably as
many more were at that time ON their
way from San Francisco, Seattle and
elsewhere, few Of whom can possibly
reach the fields in season. So great
was the. pressure to get into the fields
that Secretary Bliss OF the Department
OF the Interior issued formal note

that will be then consumed, says an ex-
change. It Is simply wasteful to throw
out to them large quantity of food in
order that they have it within reach
all through the day. Much of it will be
scattered about, lost, or so filthy that
your fowls ought not to eat 1t. Besides
this, all poultry require a certain
amount of exercise In order to be
healthy, and this exercise they will not
take unless driven by appetite to hunt
for part of their food. And it is prob
able that needed qualities of food OBJ
tanned by so hunting aid in the assimi-
lation of the ordinary feed given to
them. The careless feeding of Unneces-
sary quantities at time prevents hens
from laying as they would if not over
fed, and those intended for the table or
market, are fattened best by giving to
them only so much as they will clean
up at each meal.

Guilt Confessed.

Jacksonville, H., April Sat last the
mystery of the murder of Charles J..
Hastings has been cleared away. c. L.
Draper, in Jail for the crime, has made
a confession, explaining every detail of
the affair. Diapers statement Gre
ated the greatest excitement here,
where interest in the death of Hastings
has been intense. Hastings was an alb
stract clerk in the Office of Judge Z. p.
Kirby. On the morning, of April his
body was found in the office, terribly
mutilated and bearing many CHASTITY
wounds, evidently inflicted with a
pocketknife. Draper, who, it was
claimed, was an enemy of Hastings,
was arrested on suspicion. Blood was
found on his clothing, and, although
he stoutly maintained his innocence,
circumstances seemed to implicate him
in the affair.

WORK OF RELIEF PUSHED.
Forty Lives Lost in South Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska.

Washington. April 9.-Secretary Al
ger is pushing forward the work of re-
lief for the food sufferers, and within
few days the disbursement of the ra-
tons provided for by congress will be-
gin. The secretary was in consultation
with Col. Gillespie, president of the
Mississippi river commission, who was
summoned here by telegraph by the
secretary for that purpose. Col. Giles
pie has just returned from visit to the
flooded districts along the lower Missis-
sippi, and, backed by his experience in
the river improvements, was able to
give the secretary a fair idea of the
needs of the situation.
Sioux City, Ia, April 1o.-Forty lives
at least have been lost in the foods in
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. Two
persons are known to have been lost
on the Flord, three have been report
Missouri and two on the Coon, all in the
immediate vicinity. Cases of a similar
character are being reported every day
fiom points farther away. and a sharp
watch is being kept by the local au-
thorities for fioaters in the Missouri.
Many people are missing, of whose
deaths their friends have no positive in
formation. Most of them have proba-
bly, been carried down the Missouri,
and their bodies probably will never be
recovered. The bodies of two more
victims were brought into Sioux City
Friday-Danford Magee, of Whiting,
and Harry n. Fayill = who were
drowned while attempting to ford the
Elkhorn river in Nebraska.
st. Paul, Mimi. April 1o.-The Mis-
sissippi began to rise again Friday
morning and is now 17.9 feet. People
along the rivers bank are moving
again. Signal service officers say the
rise is occasioned by melting snow in
the woods. Mellete, S. D., is flooded and
railroads are washed out. There have
been no mails there for two weeks. The
James river has risen seven feet higher
| than ever before, and is mile wide.
| 1t has washed out the three large iron
bridges In that county. Three farmers
are reported drowned at different points
while trying to ford swollen streams.
Much live stock has persisted in the

TARIFF BILL HELD BACK.
Senate Finance Committee Delays
Presenting the Measure.

Presenting tnc ucdhufcs
Washington, April 10. = The repub-
lican senators who are acting as sub
committee of the senate committee of
finance in the preparation of the tariff
bill are inclined in their estimates now
preparing to postpone the date Of the
presentation to the senate little be-
ycnd the limit originally fixed by them
They express the opinion that it may
be two weeks from the preseHt time
before it will be in shape to be reported
Some of them postpone the time until
two weeks from Monday.
While no detailed information can be
secured it is understood that many re-
auctions in duties have been made. The
disposition of the committee is to make
a quite general reduction, but this is
found to be task not easy of accom-
plishment because of the insistence of
senators upon having the strongest pro-
lection for the articles in which they
are particularly interested. There are,
indeed, many demands for increases,
and some of these are so pressing that
the members of the committee are find
ing themselves considerably embar-
raised between their desire to satisfy
senators whose votes will be essential
to the success of the bill and their con-
viction that the interests of the party
demand reduction rather than increase.

Steel company's works at South Chica-
go was suspended at six O'Clock
Wednesday evening By strike of all
the workmen. One hundred rail-
straighteners, drillers, clippers and

WHAT BECOMES OF THEM7

1t is estimated that the daily supply OF
needles for the entire world amounts
to 100000 of varying shapes and sizes.
while the United States alone calls for
a yearly supply Of 800 100000.
OF the 100000 half-cents not one has
even been returned to the mint. A few
of this denomination may be found in
the bands of coin collectors. but the
whereabouts of the rest is 4 mystery.
OF the 119,9o0.o0O old copper cents
which were sent out from the mint
only the 900 have ever been account
ed for and only now and then is a stray
one of the remaining lis, O0O, 900 seen in
circulation.
OF the 100000 bronze two-cent
pieces sent out only 100000 ever
found their way back, leaving 100000
to be accounted for. and there are an
equal number of nickel three-cent
pieces somewhere in the country,
though one is rarely seen.
OF pins it is said that some of the
large department stores often order 100
cases Mt time. Each case contains 1Os
dozen papers and each paper holds 800
pins, so little use of the multiplication

even the one order means. The yearly

HINTS TO MOTHERS,

During their vacation children should
wear easy-fitting. well-made shoes,
either without heels or having very low.
broad ones. The spring heel is best for
little children.
Parents should teach their children to
know how to distinguish poisonous ivy
ard sumach from other plants, so that
they might avoid touching or going too
near them.
Children who are going in the coun-
try should be taught to abstain from
eating green or half-ripe fruit They
should also be taught the danger of
drinking directly from brooks and pools
Of water.
If child were impressed with the
idea that he might swallow some tiny
creature that would grow in his stom-
ach and give him great pain and trouble,
he would not be so ready to stoop down
and drink from woodland brooks and
pools; he would have Il wholesome fear
Of tadpoles and other amphibious life
