CLUB HOUSE FOR BOYS.


In the manufacturing city CT Fail River,
near the center of the business portion,
there is approaching completion a struc-
ture which Will have. when finished, no
counterpart in America It is club
house for boys and while there are other
cities with boys clubhouses, working
boys homes, newsboys' homes, and phil
anthropic institutions innumerable, there
is none in which a clubhouse has been
built expressly for this purpose, as well
finished as though for the wealthiest club
in the city. In its completeness and mag
nifcence this clubhouse is to be surpass-
ed by none of its kind anywhere And
this clubhouse is the gift of one man to
the boys of Fall River, not the bequest OF
one who has left behind his money to en-
rich charitable institutions or to start
new philanthropies, but the work of a
business man who takes an active inter
est in all of the worlds affairs, and who
hopes to live to see the fruition of his la
bors in behalf of boys.
Mr.. NJ. c. D. Borden, whose extensive
operations in wool recently interested the
business world, some time ago decided to
establish an institution which it is be-
neved will be of the greatest benefit in a
mill town, where the street is the natural
home of so many boys. To this end he
had an examination made of similar in
stitutions in all parts of the country, and,
when this was completed, the project
took practical form, first in the office Of
an architect, and later in the erection Of
the building which is to be the Boys
club of Fall River. The building is now
nearing completion and is receiving its
inside finish When it is opened the event
will be made a notable one for Fail
River, and may be of far-reac ching sig
nifcance. There is already a boys club
in Fall River, started a few years ago
and occupying a temporary home near
the site of the new clubhouse. 1t has not
been decided vet what win be the admin
istration of the new clubhouse, but as
Mr.. Borden is deeply interested in it, it
is likely to be maintained under his con-
troll, or that of the city. if he sees fit to
endow it. 1t is to be a helpful club
home, and the aim is to provide instruc-
ton as well amusement, for there are
'classrooms and provision for manual
training, as well as bowling alleys, play
rooms and a gymnasium.

A woMAN's ADVICE 10 WOMEN.

GF'rom the San Francisco Bulletin-1
In an article in the current number Of
the National Review the Countess of
Desart encourages mothers TO take a
leading part in the selection Of huS-
bands for their daughters, and to pay
little attention to the sentimental side
of a marriage offer. The writer assumes
that as repentance IS pretty sure 10 1Ol-
low marriage, reconciliat ton to the de-
crees of fate will be attended with less
regret if the situation is viewed from
luxurious surroundings than If parslmo-
ny is added to other diSquaHhcatlonS
certain to be urged against the hus-
band.
The Countess is thoroughly brutal in
her conclusions, whatever may be said
of the specious arguments by which she
reaches them One of these conclusions
is that nothing remains to mothers but
to bring up our daughters for the mar
rage market" Another, that 1T is
better to be an old mans darling than
young mans slaVe.' OF course it never
occurs to this fashiona bic mother that
in marriage the relative positions of
husband and wife may be changed-that
the silly girl who imagines that in be-
coming the wife of an old man she is
certain of being her husbands darling,
and that In union with young man
she necessarily becomes his slave
views the future as in mirror.
In a shallow way the article under
of the primitive condition of the human
race If civilization can show no better
results than the writer seems to have
discovered, barbarism would be prefer
able. If sentiment is to be killed, if
girls are to be married to men who
happen to be in a financial condition to
support them in luxury, with the admit
ted consequence that repentance is to
follow, the degeneracy Of the human
race cannot long be deferred. Up to
the present time only narrow circle of
society has accepted that standard of
morality. The infusion of better blood
into that circle has so far prevented the
dwarfing of soul which must result
from the general acceptance of that
standard
There is a school of social philoso-
piers who contend that men and wom-
en- should be mated in strict accord with
the laws of physical development. There
is no doubt that the physical condition
of the race may be improved by a rigid
observance of these laws. But If bodies
may be bred to perfection, may not the
finer part of human nature be develop
ed both by birth and by environment
Can we look for healthful minded off
spring from such parentage as the
Countess accepts as the best result of
civilization? The mischief writer's of
this kind do is in killing faith in hui
man nature in the young mind.

eDEAR OLD ENGLAND

CWalter Besant in London Queen)
A certain music hall singer, who has
just gone over to try his luck in Ameri-
ca, was going through his performance
and seemed to be getting on very well,
when he, unfortunately, spoke of dear
old England 1t seems a harmless thing
enough for an Englishman to say or to
think. Perhaps it was not quite the best
place to say it in, but the singer did not
consider the place or the dangers of the
observation. Dear old EnglandH he said
or sang. Now. if an American were to
sing song in a music hall in this coun-
try in which the words dear old United
States were to occur what would hap
pen? Just nothing at all. We should
think it quite right and proper that he
should sing the words of the song; we
should take no notice at all; we should
not care a rap; certainly, we should not
think it necessary to express any kind of
resentment at his words. I speak not
only of the better class, but Of the
rougher lot which frequent our lower kind
of music hall. In New York they act
differently. You must alter your words
If they happen to speak in kindness of
England. The audience rose as one man

him. they cried. Some of them valiantly
retired hastily, and the manager came on
and apologized. The union of hearts is
not SO near, apparently, as some of US
have been fondly imagining and hoping.
Perhaps a music hall audience of New
of American feeling. Perhaps, however,

WHITE HOUSE CLEANING.
Executive Mansion Renovated During
the Presidents Absence.

washington, June 16.-When the pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley returned from
their trip to the Nashville exposition
they found the White House interior
considerably changed in consequence of
the annual overhauling for the sum
mer. All the carpets have been taken
up. the curtains and heavy draperies
removed from the doors and windows,
covered with paper filled with moth
balls,and packed away in the garnet IN
til next winter.
Cool inviting mattings have replaced
the carpets, and the furniture of the
mansion has been covered with its sum-
mer garb of striped linen. Mrs. McKin-
ley recently added a colonial chair to
tie red parlor, the framework being
mahogany, with the straight high back
and spindle legs of a century ago. A
Dresden design is shown in the white
velvet upholstery, with stripes of cher
~ red velvet.

rILLMAN's NEW GESTURE.

washington Cor. St. Louis Republic)
Senator Ben TiIlman has acquired, or
invented, a new gesture. It is distinctive,
fitting, and a trademark, so to speak, OF
the great Cincinnatus from the Palmetto
state
Senator Tillman again had the floor,
this time his theme the horny-handed
son. 1t was as his peroration was neared
that Tillman introduced his new panto-
mime All Tillman's gestures are made
with the left hand. The farmer stands"
said he, his skinny, bony hand out
stretched asking this export bounty to
overcome the robbery of the present sys-
tenn, and yet senators sit in stony silence,
expecting this idiotic farmer, with the
mortgage gnawing on his home, not to
know that they refuse to give him relief"
Whether Tillman made the gestures to
fit the phrase. or the words to carry the
gesture, will always be a secret. But,
holding up his own left skinny bony
hand, outstretched,' the senator extended
the first and second fingers and retained
them wide apart for some time. The eff
feet was notable. It was a perfect pic
ture of a pitchfork, and he prodded it
here and there, fguratively redistributing
the vitals of Wetmore and Hanna and
Sewan and the other millionaires of the
gilded chamber. It could hardly be ex-
pected that Tillman would in the same
day undertake to symbolic the mort
gage gnawing,'' but that may be looked
for hereafter.

GAR IS MELANCHOLY.
Troubled Over the Prophecy That One
of His Cousins Will Occupy
the Throne.

Berlin, June ia spirit of disappoint-
ment prevails in the Imperial Palace of
st. Petersburg because of the event Of
Friday, when the czarina gave birth to
another daughter. It was learned today
from an authentic source that the czar
especially did not participate in the gen
eral rejoicing of the public. 1t is an open
secret that both he and his courtiers feel
bitterly because a male successor to the
throne was not born.
The young car shares the superstitious
sentiments of all the Muscovites. He also
knows that the Grand Duchess Maria
Paulowna, the wife of his uncle, the
Grand Duke vladimir AIexandrovitch, not
long since consulted gypsy fortune tel
Ter, who predicted that one of her sons
would sit the throne of Russia.
On account of this now widely adver-
tised prophecy the Russian public regards
the sons of the Grand Duchess with ex-
ceptional interest. The two eldest are
robust young fellows, and, as officers of
the Imperial guard, are very popular in
military circles. Unless a male heir is
born to the imperial couple, which is not
likely, as the czarinas health is greatly
impaired by her recent confinement, the
oldest son of Grand Duke vladimir will
be the rightful heir to the throne.
The older brother of the car, the
Grand Duke George Alexandrovitch is
now in the last stages of consumption,
and the younger brother. 19-year-old
Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, is
also not expected to live until he has
reached his majority.
The sons of Grand Duke vladimir are
Kyrill, born in 1876; Boris, born in 1877;
and Andreas, born in 1873.
The car has been subject of late to
serious spells of melancholia. At present
he seems To take no interest a in
the social diversions of the court, and it
is feared that this domestic disappoint-
ment will confirm him in his gloomy men
tai condition.

HOMAGE TO SANTA TERESA
She Leaves Ell Paso to Find a More
Tranquil Home in Arizona

Ell Paso, Tex, June 16.-Santa Teresa,
the Mexican girl who was banished from
Sonora, Mexico, five years ago because of
her wonderful cures and influence over
the Mexicans, left here today for Mo-
renci. Ariz., after a residence of one year
in Ell Paso. More than 200 Mexicans were
al the station to bid her adieu.
Just before the train went, Santa Teresa,
dressed in white and wearing a bridal
veil, drove up to the station in closed
carriage, escorted by her father and
three men armed with Winchesters and
pistols.
The Mexican women, men and children
assembled at the station crowded around
the young woman, kissing her hands. her
shawl, or any part of her garments they
could reach. Santa Teresa accepted with
grace and dignity the demonstrations.
When asked why the armed men were
there Santa Teresa's father stated that
officers of the Mexican government had
been acting as if they intended to kidnap
his daughter. It is known generally that
last fall President Diaz sent a special en-
voy to Ell Paso to invite Santa Teresa to
visit Mexico under protection of the gov
eminent, but as the Mexican government
charges the girl with being responsible
for several revolutionary movements in
Mexico she declined to accept the invita-.
ton.
Santa Teresa stated that she had healed
not fewer than 5000 persons during her
stay in Ell Paso. and that she accepted no
pay for her services. She was going to a
place where her father could work in the
Mines and she would not be in hourly
dread of being kidnapped.

BIG STURGEON CAUGHT.
Monster Weighing 1913 Pounds Cap
tured Near Chicago.

Chicago, June &c. L. F. Anderson of
South Chicago and all his friends and
neighbors had sturgeon for their dinner
yesterday. And what's more, they all
dtned off the same fish. Nor did Mr.. An
derson rob himself. In fact, he could
have supplied good part of South Chi
cago with dinners and still had sturgeon
left. For Mr.. Anderson was the proud
possessor of a fish weighing 168 pounds.
Mr.. Anderson has a fish market at 9205
Commercial avenue and employs a num-
Der of fishermen. One of these is famed
Peterson, who went out in the lake yes
terday. Peterson got a bite almost as
soon as his line struck the water It was
gentle al first. Then the line began to
swish through the water. Peterson tried
to pull in his line, and the fish nearly
tipped the boat over For nearly ten min
utes the fisherman and the fish had a
battle royal. Peterson's arm grew tired
but the fish was apparently as full offght
as ever. Suddenly the line fell limp on
the rail of the boat.
Hes gone" yelled Peterson. Just my
luck; biggest fish I ever saw Then he
pro ceeded to discourse about fish in gen.
eraI and that fish in particular in Ian
guage that was both forcible and pic
turesque. Finally it occurred to him to
pull in his line and see how much the fish
had carried off.
Peterson hadn't pulled in more than ten
feet of his slack line before there was a
jerk that nearly toppled him out of his
boat. But it was the last expiring effort
of the monster. There wasn't an ounce of
fight left in him, and Peterson had him
alongside in a jiffy.
But it was another matter to get him
in the boat. Peterson was a tired and per-
spring fisherman by the time he finally
landed his prize and sat down on the
seat to let his eyes gIoat over him.
It was a sturgeon, and it weighed just
168 pounds.
On the same day three more sturgeon
were caught, their weight aggregating 264
pounds.
This is the season of the year for stur-
geon, and they are more plentiful now
than has ever been known around Chi
cago.
