Childhood and Home.

This was the subject Of an interesting
sermon preached last Sunday morning by
Rev. G. r. b. Dodge. There was large
audience present and the sermon was thor
oughly enjoyed by all. In bis Introductory
remarks the speaker referred to the lasting
impressions of the first years of childhood
| Other lands than Christian know but little
of the meaning of the word home. In At
RIGA girls are welcomed because they can
be exchanged for cows, and in Turkey a
man refers to his wife with an apology. In
America home stands for sequestered
spot away from the turmoil and strife Of
the world.
One of the greatest problems even here
in America is the home problem for the
ideal is difficult to attain. Our great cities
are plague spot, on the body polite and
largely because of really heather homes in
our Christian land The speaker paid an
eloquent tribute to motherhood, and said
that Napoleon declared that the great need
of his day was mothers. He also quoted
the Scotch proverb that an ounce Of mother
is worth pound of clergy.
The remarkable Helen Kelley was used
as an illustration of the wonderful tenacity
of even childish impressions. This girl has
been blind and deaf since she was nine
months old, yet her accomplishments are
wonderful; she appreciates vocal music by
placing the fingers on the throat of the
singer, and piano music by placing her
hand on the piano and feeling the vibra-
tons. By way of experiment a noted doc
tor obtained unknown to the girl piece
of music she used to hear when only nine
months old and before she was afflicted
with blindness and deafness. Her hand
was placed on the piano and the playing
began. She at once became greatly ex-
cited, and cried out BLACK Crow, Black
Crow" 1t was subsequently learned that
"Black Crow" was companion piece to
the one played on the piano which her
father used to sing often, but she had heard
neither piece since she was nine months
old and she was then 16 years of age. This
illustrates the principle that nothing is ever
lost or can be.
In conclusion the speaker pictured the
ideal home; it is the home where the spirit
of God has the largest and freest sway

senger cars between the Charlestown an
Springfield stations and that freight trains
were run between Springfield and Spring
field station on the line of the Boston &
Maine railroad between the time scheduled
tor the running of the passenger cars. In
other words the freight trains ran wild with
instructions to keep out OF the way of pas
senger cars, the latter having the right OF
way. On this occasion special passenger
car started from the Charlestown station
with the officers of the road and some of
the Boston & Maine officials aboard to
go to Springfield. After the car had
passed the junction or connection which
led from the main track to Springfield sta
ton those on board saw freight car
approaching from 400 to 500 feet away.
The freight car was brought to standstill
by the motorman in running from 60 to
100 feet. The passenger car was also
brought to standstill at once but it soon
started, the mortorman not being able to
control it, with the result that the two cars
came into collision while going at very
moderate rate of speed, breaking in the
vestibule of the passenger car where Mr..
Long stood.
In the collision both of Mr. Longs legs
were broken between the knee and ankle.
He was removed soon after to Springfield
and three physicians administered ether
while his wounds were dressed and the
broken bones set. Mr.. Long died short
time after the doctors left 1t appeared
in the medical testimony before the
board that the cause of death was the
shock to the nervous system, and that he
was not robust man. Mr.. Long began
work for the railroad company as an mex
perienced hand as soon as the road was
| completed and for two weeks he was
instructed by Motorman Wright and M.
| A. Coolidge how to control the car, but at
this time he seemed utterly confused and
did not know what to do He applied the
electric brake and stopped the car. To
have held the car, it being on the down
grade, he should have applied the hand
| brake to the wheels or have used the
reverse power, all of which he had been
thoroughly instructed in, but he allowed
the car to move on without attempting to
use either of the two methods.
Lawyer Flynn of Springfield appeared
before the board for the state and Col
Kittredge Haskins of the firm of Haskins
& Schwenk Of Brattleboro and LAWYER
Davis of Springfield for the railroad com
pany. The widow of Mr.. Long has threat
ened to sue the company for damages and
and unless the company arranges salts
factory private settlement it is probable
that suit may be brought"

DID NOT ASSIGN JUDGE GARY,
Whereat Justice Magruder Protested-Re.

ply Of the Chief Justice.
Springfield. Ills, June 16.-An unusual
incident occurred in the supreme court
when appellate judges were assigned
yesterday. Judge Gary, famous for
having presided at the anarchist trials,
was not assigned. Justice Magruder
protested in the following strong
language: 1.-The distinguished services
of Mr.. Justice Gary for nearly thirty
four years deserved a more fitting
recognition. Wherever modern civiliza-
ton has extended its light and its bless
ings his name stands as the synonym
for law and order. With his life in his
hand he has stayed and suppressed the
onsets of lawlessness and disorder, and
enter my solem protest thus put upon
this just and fearless Judge"
Chief Justice Phillips in reply said:
with the fullest recognition Of those
qualities, the majority of this court re-
served to itself the right and discharged
the duty of selecting other judges for
that place equally learned, Industrious
and able, who can and will with equal
earnestness and as high sense Of justice
discharge these duties"

Treaty Ready to Go to the Senate and NAV
Go There Today.
Washington, June 16-The suggested
course of procedure when the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty is sent to the
senate is that it should be made public
in order that the proposition to restore
the house provision in the tariff bin
may be accomplished with the under
standing that the treaty of annexation
possibly will be in effect before a years
notice Of abrogation could be given. One
reason given for making the treaty pub
lie would be that it could be discussed
In connection with the Hawaiian pro-
vision in the bill Some question has
arisen as to whether the senate alone
was competent to act upon a treaty
which acquired territory, and IL me
house would na4 be called upon to con-
oar: but the precedents are that the
treaty-making power = the president
and the senate-can act, and that the
Only manner in which the house would
be considered would be in case an ap-
preparation was necessary to carry the
treaty into effect.
1t was the expectation that the treaty
would receive the formal signatures Of

ton that the people of the United States
press and other mediums to declare
their sentiments upon the matter. and
II. as is predicted, there is an over

the treaty. it is believed, can be taken
up and ratified in the course of one or
too executive sessions while the regular
tariff debates are in progress daily.
The manner in which the Hawaiian
treaty will come before the house is in
the paragraph which provides that the
United States shall assume the present
debt Of Hawaii. This will not in any
way affect the treaty or interfere in its
adoption. Irrespective Of and before any
action will be submitted to the house
will come the ratification of the treaty
by the senate. If the treaty is ratified
no action by the house can change the
condition. The failure of the house to
appropriate to pay the debt or the inter-
est on it may become a future compli-
cation, but the ratification of the treaty
by the senate will annex the islands.
The treaty which made Alaska a part
Of this country carried with 1t an ap-
preparation of several million dollars.
There was a most bitter contention in
the house about making the appropria-
ton, but the senate had by treaty rati-
fed the agreement. OF course, II con-
gress by action of the house had re-
fused to make the appropriation then
Russia would have held possession of
Alaska.

AS TO GOUGING THE TRUSTS.
Why the Republican Caucus Declined to
Adopt Sp0Oner's Idea.


Washington, June 16.-The Republic
an caucus Monday night determined
not to incorporate in the tariff bill the
amendment proposed by Spooner to
postpone the time when certain features
of the sugar schedule should go into
effect until six months after the bill
was passed. with the intention of COM
Polling the sugar trust to dispose Of the
surplus sugar that has been imported
pending the consideration OF the tariff
bill at a rate which would not allow 1t
a great profit. The position taken by a
large majority of the Republican SEN
ators was that it would be Impractical
BILE to have various portions Of the bill
go into effect at different times. If the
action was taken on sugar it would have
to be taken on wool and other items.
The argument was advanced that in
changing tariffs no provision could be
made against the advantage taken by
buyers Of foreign goods.
If q tariff was to be reduced importa-
tons would be held back, and If q
tariff was to be raised importa tons
would be rushed in. This was true Of
sugar and all other goods. and the eau
Gus decided that there was no way Of
reaching the importers, and that no
single article should be selected upon
which to postpone the effect Of the new
tariff. The defeat of Spooner's PROPOSE
ton was not accomplished until there
had been q sharp fight.
The western men were arrayed against
the east and Spooner had several sharp
tits with senators representing states
where there is a great deal of manu-
featuring. He said that the greatest op-
position to the proposed amendment was
because the eastern manufacturers
feared that 1t might be extended to wool
and that they would not be able to real
ize on the large importations of free
wool, which had been made in anticipa-
ton of the tariff on wool. Spooners
