To the EDITOR OF The COURIER:

columns Of your paper an editorial
which appeared in the Omaha Excelsior
Of April 8. in which the Excelsior took

will influence a patriotic politician to
disavow his English connection. We
have troubles Of our own and the
transplanted lrishman need not expect
that we will ever interfere in the I'M
pleasant and everlasting family row
between Ireland and England. They
must fight it out or sulk it out i'm one
island or the other. The British
colonial policy is adapted to the needs
OF each colony Canada and Australia
lack few autonomous characteristics.
Scotland and Ireland bear almost the
relation of states to the central gov
eminent and Egypt and the African
colonies still have military govern
mrnt. Our hesitation in interfering
with the barbarous Spanish govern
ment of one OF the continental islands
of North America ought TO be a sig
nificant indication to the Irish who
think they can prevent cordial
entente between us and the kingdom
Of eternal day.
Whatever be the motives Of Eng
lands present friendliness and how
ever unjustly she treated us in the
days OF our youth, Uncle Sam is not in
a position to reject the advances OF
the ruler of the seas. In case Of war
with Spain written April ii, 1889
friendly ports i'm the British Isles,
with the privilege Of coaling might
make all the difference between defeat
and victory. Tie United states, in
view OF such favors and many other
contingencies, should pay the damages
adJudged against this government in
favor of England many years ago. The
haggling, recalcitrant policy pursued
by the state department is undignified
and deserves the European criticism
which it has received freely enough.
The country goes into the war with
a hastily assembled navy and small
land force, reinforced by militia and
it needs all the friends diplomacy can
make.
The City Improvement association
has already affected marked differ
ence in the appearance of the city.
The plan OF the society is to engage an
auxiliary in every block thus arrang-
ing for a ramification, practically CO.
incident with the city limits. The in
fiuence OF the society i'm arousing the
children to love OF order and neat
ness. is one of the most desirable ends
il is striving to accomplish. Speaking
of ramificatiOn too, nothing and no.
body can equal the children atthat
The effect Of their silent disapproval
upon careless parents is also OF great
importance. What the honorable
Sterling Morton has done for trees in
the west the City Improvement asso-
citation hopes to do with those small
running plants, the children. The
society will have to wait perhaps
good many years for the result of their
well directed efforts, but when it
comes bronze monument will not be
handsome enough to express the ap-
probation of those who come after US.
The deplorable condition OF the
children of the poor in the large cities,
especially in summer time when the
schools are closed, induced the Society
for Improving the Condition of the
Poor i'm 1894 to institute what is called
vacation schools where the children

There are no parks for the little peO-
pie too young and poor to ride miles
in street cars where the city has
segregated land and planted flowers
and grass and trees for everyone TO
enjoy who can. 1t has been found
that park increases the value Of the
surrounding property and the houses
Of the well TODD surround them. OF
course the very poor must live in the
cheapest places and the cheapest 10
calities smell SO bad in summer time
and are SO oyercrOwded and so ugly
that criminOlogists say that baby
criminals, born from mothers protest
ing against such ugliness make war on
society in one way or another as soon
as they are strong enough.
IL the property owners in crowded
districts would consent to tax for
the purpose of buying land enough to
scatter small parks or breathing spaces
throughout the squalid parts of city
their property would Lecome more
valuable, for the tone of the neighbOr-
hood would be better, because
healthier, and the boys and girls who
are shut of from all beauty and in con-
sequence become criminals would have
some of the aids to growth that have
made so many country boys into noble
men and women.
In the meantime, while these sani-
tary measures of self preservation
have not yet been learned by a people
who will only admit that there must
be room for traffic even if a few ignor-
ant and bewildered foreigners are
squeezed into an impossible space,
these attempts to ameliOrate the I'M
natural condition of the children of
the poor are steadily accomplishing
good results.
Miss Sadie American, of Chicago,
chairman Of the committee on vaca-
tion schools, says in The Commons that
the wOmens clubs of that city have
taken up the matter this year. Rep
resentatives from the twenty-thrce
women's clubs are each striving to Sc
cure as much money as possible for the
vacation schools this summer. 1t
costs about $3.50 for each child for the
six weeks The educators of the city
are in favor of the schools. In New
York the board Of education has
adopted them into the public school
system. Private kindergartens pre-
ceded public kindergartens by many
years. 1t will probably be so in this
case, though the need for the manual
training school for girls and boys who
have reached the age of most rapid
development and acquisition is greater
than that of the tOddlers who receive
the first sympathetic attention of their
lives in the kindergalt ten Hustled
from the hot overcrowded rooms by
tired and slatternIy women the boys
have no place to play. The traffic of
the streets and the sidewalk must not
be interfered with and there are DO
licemen everywhere who make all the
trouble they can for the boys who are
only asserting their inalienable right
to play and the pursuit of mischief.
But Miss American says: "Our laws
are formed to protect property rather
than character. No matter how tempt
ing an empty lot, the boys must not
go into it to play ball if the owner cb-
jects; neither may they play ball on
the street for fear they may break
window or head.'' This

Cured in his paper March 26. in regard
to a translation OF one OF Heine's poems.
The editor in that issue of the paper
eaid.
"The following original poem. con.

woman to be possessed Of gifts OF fancy
and OF versification as great as they are
uncommon, and which We cordially com.
mend to those Of our friends who write
verses and who contemplate favoring US

By comparing the Original poem"
line by line with Heine's poem. it can
reodily be seen that it was a literal
translation with the exception Of a few
glaring mistakes) and not an original
poem. I quote below the first stanza of

Along the woods brown edge
The wind goes wandering
To find the first pink pledge
The hint Of sprine.

And gives to wintry ground

And to the woodland dumb
And desolate 50 long
She calls the birds to come
With happy song.

The blush, the breath, the kiss

The deplOrable condition OF the
children of the poor in the large cities,
especially in summer time when the
schools are closed, induced the Society
for Improving the Condition of the
Poor i'm 1894 to institute what is called
vacation schools" where the children
are taught music and various manual
occupations. Two years ago the
movement was started in Chicago.
The pupils numbered three hundred
and sixty, while almost four thousand
who applied for admission, on account
of the lack of accommodation, were
turned away.
In the crowded tenement districts
where families of from four to ten live
in one or two rooms in which all the
forms OF housekeeping which involve
cooking, washing and ironing, are
carried on, there is no room for the
children to play. There is no room
outdoors either for the children, ex-

the consistory which was to be held at
the present epoch, will be put off to the

On this occasion, important ceremonies

L1NcoLN,s GREAT KINpNEss

(From the Washington Post.)
The other day Mr.. Grow related story
about Lincoln which illustrated two phases
of the martyr presidents character. Mr..
Grow then speaker of the house, had gone
to the president to ask the appointment of
a friend as a judge in one Of the terrific
ries. The president made note of the re-
quest. A few days later, when Mr.. Grow
called at the White House, not about the
| iudgeship, but upon another matter, Mr..
Lincoln at once began to apologize. ''Mr.
Speaker" said he, II meant to appoint
your friend TO that judgeship, but wom-
an came in here with nine small children
and one at the breast, and pleaded the
bread act and Dreaded me out of it,"
THE family to which Mr.. Lincoln re-
ferred," said Mr.. Grow. had been driven
from their home in the south because of
their Union sentiments and this incident
illustrates the kindly character of Lin
coins heart. While we were talking, how
ever Mr.. Lincoln said that he would still
attend to my matter and started to put
down my friends name. He went to his
hat, which was filed with papers, and
after remarking that he had queer way
of doing things, began fumbiing until he
found a blank sheet 1 told the president
that if his hat should blow off lot of
state secrets would be scattered but he
only smiled, wrote down the name, and
said that he now knew where to find IT
when the time to consider the matter came
around.

ACTORS ATTACHED.
Richards and Garfield Sued BY Former
Member of Their Company.

Constable A. F. Richardson served a
personal attachment in the sum of $135 on
Messrs. Garfield and Richards of the ''My
Boys" Company which was playing at
Lothrop's the past week, just before the
matinee Saturday afternoon. The attach
ment was served at the instance of Philip
Robson of Boston, to recover for salary
due him.
Mr. Garfield was seen by Spy reporter
at the Bay State House Sunday night and
gave the following explanation for the
attachment: Previous to Jan. IA the show
was conducted by Messrs. Garfield and
Richards and Walter D. Turner. About
Jan. l the company met with financial re-
verses, and was obliged to dissolve. 1t
was reorganized, however, under the man
agement of the present owner, Madison
Corey. Robson was a member of the
company when 1t changed hands, but was
dropped at that time.
Mr.. Garfield says he has no money, and
will show to the court today that he is
broke. He expects to take the poor
debtors oath If necessary. He says the
old company owes Mrs. Garfield over 5000,
and If there was any money left she
would probably be paid as soon as any of
the others. Mr.. Garfield reiterated that
he owns nothing in the show, and has no
money with which to liquidate his debts.
If he had he should certainly pay them.

study It carefully and make such cor
rection and suggestions as we saw fit.
Well, took my copy and went over 1t
very carefully, and finally made about
forty changes. The others to whom the
address had been submitted were equal
ly careful, and they made several
amendments. When the speech was fl
nally delivered it was exactly word for
word with the original copy which Lin
coin gave us. Not a change suggested
had been adopted I never knew
whether Lincoln intended to play joke
on us, or whether he really believed that
the alterations were not effective.
never mentioned the mater to him, and
he said nothing more to me. To tell the
truth, I was not exactly proud of the
part played in the matter"

A DAINTY MUFF.

A small fur muff can be made over
in the present style by using four
yards Of double-faced Liberty satin rib

ribbon in two and gather a quarter of a
yard of each piece full midway on one
side to reach half way round the open

is to be the back of the muff, and sew
halfway round. Then carry the bal

CHURCH BURN ED.
Cathedral of st. John Baptist at
Savannah Destroyed.
The Fire is Believed to Be the Work Of
an lncendiay Twelfth Fire in
Two Weeks.

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 6.-Savannah' 5
epidemic OF fire continues. Tonight dam
age to the extent of $4,000 was caused
by confiagration which started in a
hay warehouse on the wharf at the foot
of Jefferson street. The flames commu-
nicated to several brick buildings in
Bay street, and three of them were
ruined. The heaviest loss was sustained
by c. A. Conklin & Co., of Atlanta, who
carried a 100000 stock of hardware.
The firm carried about $75, 900 insurance.
There seems to be no question but that
the fire was of incendiary origin. There
have been dozen fires here within the
last two weeks.
Before the fire, which started in the
hay warehouse, had been brought under
control, flames burst out in the magnifi-
cent cathedral of ST. John the Baptist,
head seat of the Catholic Church in the
state Of Georgia, and it was soon mass
Of ruins.
All of the fire engines in the city were
engaged at the other fire. The conse-
quence was that it was nearly an hour
before an engine arrived to turn a
stream on the valuable property that
was fast going to waste, and on other
property around that needed protection.
The tremendous shower of sparks that
was carried up in the heat for an hour
or more made a grand spectacle.
The fire began in the organ loft and
spread rapidly through the church.
Everything was removed from the resi-
dences in the vicinity, and it was only
after a struggle that the neighborlng
houses were saved. At midnight the
destruction Of the cathedral was COM
plete. The cathedral cost about $225, 900,
and was insured for 100000. 1t was one
of the finest ecclesiastical structures in
the south. The edifice contained many
works of art. all Of which were saved.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.

American girls in good social positions
are allowed more freedom than the girls
Of any other nation. The Europeans are
shocked at the way unmarried women
in America are permitted to go out
alone with young men, or receive them
alone at their homes, but it is not rec
orded that the morals of American
women are any the worse for the liberty
allowed them. In the European coun-
tries a young lady must be under the
wing of chaperone at every turn. Ul-
ira fashionable society in this country
is taking up the chaperone idea more
and more every year-but the mass Of
American girls are still free to go and
come as they please, and nowhere on
earth are the girls so self-reliant or
more virtuous.
