in the colonies and have been con-
tinuously looked after and supervised
ever since by a company of devoted
and experienced men and women. Re-
sults' recently tsbulsted in reports to
and from the government of Canada
show that the failures among these
emigrsnts is less than 2 per cent."
In infancy the coat of caring for de-
linquent children, or children b
instincts and habits are likely to be-
come warped, is very small. Society
will have 10 care fOr the improvident
or criminal classes anyhow. and 1t
would be far better if the money and
effort that are now expended in penal
institutions, reformatories, and hospi-
tails for the mentally and morally
diseased we're spent in large part in
training the children.
Horace Fletcher has recently sug-
gested that there be formed in every
city, town, and village societies whose
work would be to see hat q ''social
quarantine" be established around
every child, even to 'the last waif. {"
against the powers of evil, taking care
that each child during his earliest
years should be brought into contact
with some OF the good and the true
and the beautiful in life, and guarded
as far as possible, during the years of
the formation Of his character, from
all that is degrading and harmful.
The suggestion is a striking one. 1t
will some day be put into practice in
some form or other.

Mines and
Mining.
Sale of the San Xavier Mines.

Monday Gen. L. H. Manning and
Leo Goldschmidt closed the sale of the
San Xavier mines to some of the prin-
cipal owners of the Kansas City Smelt-
ing Works. The mines are we'll known
here. They are six in number with
United States patent. A large amount
of development has been done with ex-
tensive ore bodies on every level. Gen.
Manning a yes age secured an option
from the Boston owners of the mines.
He shipped about 10, 600 tons of ore to
Ell Paso and the Kansas City Smelling
Worxs. The ore Is not high grade,
but there is an immense quantity.
The purchasers ere connected with the
works which purchase the ore shipped,
aud they are supposed 10 know the va
lue of the mines producing the same.
The price received was not learned by
the Star, but it Ia the rumored on good
authority the deal will cost the pur-
chssers 5000, 900. From the bland
smiles worm by Gen. Manning it can

NINE HOUR DAY.
Proposition is Sprung on the United
Typothetae.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 26.-The fea-
ture of the business of the United Ty-
pothetae of America convention yester-
day was the hearing of George w. Har-
ris. chairman of a special committee Of
the International Typographical union,
who came to Milwaukee for the pur-
pose of advocating before the conven-
ton, the proposition for a nine-hOur
work day. Mr.. Harris said that by
referendum vote Of the union it was de-
cided to enforce the short hour work
day though the time had not been fixed.
The short day had been agitated since
1887, and the union thought it a good
thetae and the union. Incidents where
the scale of wages was high the union
would be willing to accept a reduction
but where the pay was low no reduction
should be made. The fixing of the
scale in different cities would be left
to local unions. The main point he
said was the reduction in hours; that
the union did not believe in strikes and
that by cooperation an AMIGA BILE agree
ment could be reached. The Interna-
tional Typographical union is working
in conjunction with the International
Pressmen and Assistants union for the
nine-hOur day. After Mr.. Harris fin
ished talking, he was made the target
for numerous questions, after which
the convention went into executive ses-
sion on the short day problem.
Formal invitations were received
from Detroit and New Haven for next
years convention and from Kansas City
for the 1900 meeting.

SUGAR.COFFEE WAR.
Havemeyers and Arbuckles Will
Soon Begin Their Fight.

New York, Aug. 26.-Arbuclxle Bros.
of coffee fame have completed their su-
gar refinery at the foot of Jaw and
Pearl streets, Brooklyn. The work of
refining sugar was begun last week
but the plant is not yet ready for the
production of it's full capacity
The agents of the Arbuckles are solic-
iting orders in the market, and pro-
pose to sell two two and five pound
packages of sugar with coffee The
HaVemeyers are also Transforming an
old sugar refinery in Brooklyn into a
coffee plant.
A meeting which may have a bearing
on the probable war between the Ar
buckles and the sugar trust is that of
the executive committee OF the Whole
sale GrocerS' association of seventeen
states in the union which began at the
rooms of the New York board of trade
and transportation today. James F.
Grfnstead of Louisville, presided. with
Alfred H. Beckman, also of that city, as
secretary.
There were two sessions behind closed
doors, but in spite of attempted secrecy
it became known that there was a live
ly discussion about ''cut rates. and
rebates It is said that the business
policy of this executive committee is
much like that of the American Tobac-
co company which prescribes the prices
at which retailers must sell the COM
pany's products. Wholesale grocers,
it. is said, have suffered from the indis-
criminate cutting Of prices by retail
ers, and charges were made that certain
members of the association had aided
such retailers, in order to increase
their own sales.
1t is claimed, too, that the executive
committee of the different state organi-
stop to this rate cutting, and to punish
the offenders.

to be one of the best Topeka has en-
joyed in several years, will be opened

will be entirely completed by tomorrow

so CENTS DAY
Has Been Allowed for Delicacies for
Each Sick Soldier.

Washington, Aug 26.-Acting Secre-
tary Meiklejohn, of the war department,
today wired an order to every mill
tary hospital in the country calling at
tention of the surgeons in charge to
the order Of August 10th, which allowed
the expenditures of 60 cents per day
per man, for the purchase of delicacies
for the sick soldiers. He directed that
this amount and as much more as was
necessary for the comfort of the sick
be expended in making the troops COM
Portable and for getting such things for
them as might be necessary.
Mr.. Meiklejohn did this when he re-
ceived information from the hospital at
Fort Meyer, that not cent of this fund
had been expended. 1t is probable that
many surgeons in charge of hospitals
are ignorant of the existence of the or
der, as it is understood at the depart
ment that there are other points where
it has not been observed. 1t is COM
puted that a fund of SO, 900 might have
been available and in fact is now avail
able for the soldiers in the hospital at
Fort Meyer, and it is believed the same
state of affairs exists elsewhere.
The so cents a day under the order is
to be turned into a general fund. The
opinion is expressed at the department
today that many surgeons have been
very derelict in their duty.
