~BUTTERWORTH'S THEORY.

His Lenient Way of Treating For Itefnrma-
ton Embryo Criminals.
Commissioner of Patents ButterwortlI
is one of the men who believe that IL
prosecuting attorney is better engaged
in side trucking embryo criminals on
the road to perditiOn and getting them
on the road to righteousness than in
corralling them for shipment to the
~penitentiary, where they are thrown
into association with professional crooks.
Several years ago Major ButtcrwOrth
was prosecuting attorney i'll southern
Ohio ard he had the opportunity to test
his theory regarding the discrimination
that should be used in dealing with
men newly launched into crime. \
young farmer was arrested for passing
counterfeit shinplast. rs, as the so cent
note was known. and the cas- was put
in the hands of Major Buttcrworth.
The young man told lis story. He had
saved several hundred dollars, had left
his wife and little children and had
taken a Loaf down the Mississippi river,
%purposing to settle on a new farm he
was to buy with his hard earned saw
ings. On the boat he met an extremely
pleasant and well dressed stranger, who
learned of his mission and proceeded 10
make himself agreeable. In Il moment
of extreme confidence the stranger told
the young MAJ of u large quantity Of
money he had which was made from
plates that had formerly belonged TO the
government and which the government
had long since sought to recover, etc.
The young man was struck by that rs
marliable method of acquiring wealth
when he had toiled and saved for years
to get his few hundred. In Il burst of
generosity the stranger offered to eX-
change some of his money for green.
backs belonging to his new found
friend, so that the latter should have
two dollars for every one he possessed.
The bait was tempting and the fish bit.
At the next landing the well dressed
man disappeared from the boat and the
dupe became alarmed. He became sus-
picious of his new money and was
afraid to offer it i'll payment of his pas
sage. He, too. left the boat, determined
to go back home. He started to walk

the money to buy something to eat, the
counterfeit was discovered and the ar.
rest was made. Major Butterworth took
i'll the situation.
IL told that young man,' he said. i'll
relating the story, THAT if God had
made him /; dishonest man lie had failed
to put IL sign on his face. l told him to
20 home - his wife and children us an
honest iran. He could scarcely rt1li2c
that he had escaped tine ~Icnitcntiary.
He went home, and u more honest on
better citizen l do not know today.
That man had moi the l,art of II crimi
nal, but if lie had been sen to the rcni
Tertiary his children would have been
dissractd for life and probably he woul"
have belonged to the criminal class for
life. st. Louis Republic.

man in IA warehouse in West street. A
cargo of sponSes was received, and Pat,
rick was ordered to go down into Il sub,
cellar that was supposed to be dry and
pile up the bales. Two inches of water
covered the floor, but Patrick did not
know the effect of water on sponges evil

ploycrs. The first bale was dropped
through the hatch, and Patrick placed it
i'll a corner. Another IA placed IN top
of it. The sponges began to swell. The
bales exploded suddenly. More bales
were thrown down by the truckmen and
were ripped open. Patrick was astonish-
ed and then frightened. He scrambled
over the heap of bales finally and, put
ting his head through the hatch, yelled.

And lightly moves when breezes pass,

And, mingling with, suffusing all,
Borne by the wind and still lie: fall,
The incense of the new now hay
This is my church, my altar there.

Her mighty hands ~outspread in prayer,
While Ger her brow Tie sunny air,
A south wind full of blessing, steals.
She wraps me in her mantle fold.

And living air and sunlight gold
And wood and meadow pray with me.

SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF ITS
MEMBERS HELD LAST NIGHT.
Rev. DR.. Marion ID. Shutter Spoke ElO-
Quently on the Subject OF
Evolution.

The Social Science club met last night
at Plymouth church. with an attendance
of about $50. Rev. George d. Black presided
and the principal feature Of the evening
was Rev. DR.. Marion Shutters lecture
on Evolution" This eloquent and logical
address was listened to attentively, and
called forth number Of interesting ques-
tions, which DR.. Shutter answered. DR..
Black outlined briefly the winter work Of
the club He said the executive committee
had decided that popular course OF
studies would be better than Organiza-
ton into classes with teachers and text
books. Thus far seven lectures have been
arranged for, two on Evolution and its
various aspects, by DR.. Shutter. two on
1ndustrialsm as affected by Evolution, by
Prof. McVey, of the state university; one
on Christian Socialism" by Rev. H. p.
Nichols, and two, unassigned, on Social
ism" and THE Brotherhood of Man." The
be Evolution.
After DR.. Shutters discourse DR.. Black,
in speaking of the progress of truth, re-
marked that a few years ago evolution
was laughed at by men of scholarly at
tainments but that today every scientific
man, and nearly every preacher, and all
thorough students were firm believers in
evolution. DR.. Beach paid high compli-
ment to DIR. Shutters lecture by saying
that 1t was something to enthuse a man
with a higher and nobler idea of the glory
Of huma.. life and it's possibilities.

VAN WICK FOR MAYOR
Tammany Again Has It's Clutches ON
New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-Tammanys VIC
tory in the first municipal election in
Greater New York is a sweeping one.
The only question remaining to be
settled at II o'clock is the one Of the plur-
ality by which the entire ticket headed by
Robert A. Van Wyck has carried the gigan-
tic municipality. 1t can scarcely be less
than $4,000 and may be larger than that
Van Wyck has polled a vote which falls
possibly 10000 under the combined votes OF
General Tracy, Republican, and Seth Low,
Citizens Union.
The latter was successful to the extent
OF polling an aggregate vote in excess Of
the 100000 pledges implied by the signatures
of the petition upon which he became the
candidate of an Independent movement
which at the outset offered to join hands
with the Republican party organization in
a concentrated effort to exclude Tammany
from power in the Greater city to come
into being on January l, 1898, with a popu-
lation the second in magnitude of the great
cities of the world. The offer was declined
on the ground that in such a movement
the Republican organization would partic-
pate only coincidently with the other party
to the compact and the Citizens Union,
on the other hand refused to recall it's
nomination of Mr.. Low.
The total number of votes cast was not
far either way from half a million. The
indications are that Van Wyck received
10000; Low 145,OOO Tracy 100, OOO and George
1900. The aggregate is swelled by few
thousand votes cast for Gleason, Independ-

The FOLLY OF IT
The Difference in Wages in the Gold
Standard Countries and in the
Silver Standard Countries Made
Plain and Clear.

If the gold standard makes high and
the silver standard low wages, how
comes it that gasftters receive $145O a
week in Columbia and SIS in Venezuela,
both silver countries, and but $408 in
Germany and $34O in Italy, both on a
gold basis? How comes it that cigar
makers receive $3.50 and tinsmiths $l4
in silver standard Venezuela, and $3.50
and So respectively in gold standard
ceive $12 per week in Mexico and but
So in Denmark? How comes 1T that cab-
met makers receive $40 in Ecuador and
but $4.25 in Germany, blacksmiths $12.S3
in Venezuela and $3.50 in Italy; tele-
graph operators $11.5O in Mexico and
$3.50 in Denmark; engravers $13.75 in
Peru and SO in Spain? If the gold
standard makes uniformly high wages
WHY'S there such tremendous difference
in the wage rate of gold standard coun-
tries? The average weekly wages Of
bricklayers in the United States is $21.1S,
in Spain $3.50, in Canada $15 and in
Italy $4.2O, yet all are on a gold basis.
Hod carriers average $13.3S in the Unit
ed States and but $17O in Italy; plumb
ers $3.50 in Canada and 1925 in Spain,
$19 in the United States and $3.50 in
England, 1885 in New South Wales and
81 25 in GermanV-al1 gold standard
countries.-The Better Way
