Incredible instances OF 1araway Is-
norance and superstition come to light
now and then among the foreign popu-
lation Of our great cities. Not long ago
a 7-year-old girl was picked up III the
streets Of New York. beaten into almost
unrecognizable shape by her father.
who had subjected her to inhuman
cruelty in order to drive a hundred
devils out of her. When brought face
to face with his daughter in the court,
ne undertook to prove to the judge that
the child was possessed of a hundred
devils by bending her limbs so that she
shrieked with pain. The judge prompt
ly held him in $1,000 bail to answer.
and expressed a very earnest regret that
he could not order him to the whipping
post But this is only one of many sim
liar instances Of primitive superstition
and ignorance coming to light in the
crowded tenement districts. a writer
in The Evening Post recently stated
that the Corsican vendetta was carried
ON in some of the bystreets of the east
side, New York. and the darkest and
most inhuman superstitions of the
Harz mountains were practiced under
the very chapels of the city.

ing young man to whose destiny
her own may be linked, should be,
what kind of a man is he?" And
l believe that any standard of So
ciety which teaches that she should
be willing to overlook some things
which may not have been just
right in his life should be equally
lenient toward her if it happen
that some missteps have been made
in her highway of experience.
Society may condone a wrong in
a young man, but the wrong is no
less on account of this. And it
may severely censure the mis- step
that young woman makes, but it
does not make her sin any worse
on this account. | suppose it is
fair to say that at the final bar of
judgment a wrong in woman will
receive no severer censure than the
same wrong in a man, and | think
it only fair to insist that the same
standard of judgment is just and
equable for society to use.
Either there is one moral stand
ara for both men and women, or
there is a different standard for
each. If only one, then my posi-
ton is unassailable. If two, then
l am wrong, and the sowing of
wild oats in young man should
be charitably overlooked, while the
same in any young woman -hould
be severely censured. What is
your opinion 'in the matter, one
standard for both, or a different
standard for each.

The agitation against Sunday news
papers in London has reached point
that is incomprehensible to Americans.
1t is said that the opposition to this in
novation has been so great that the
Sunday experiment of the rival Tele-
graph and Mail is a complete failure
from a financial point of view. Mr.
Harmsworth. proprietor of The Mail.
has written a letter. in which he virtu-
ally throws mp his hands and declares
that he is willing TO stop if the estab-
lishment over the way will do the same
thing.

Governor Roosevelt is reported as be-
ing strongly il favor of a whipping post
for wife beaters, saying that if such a
bill is introduced in the legislature he
will sign it. This Is probably an exag-
gerated report of what the governor did
say, for he is not the man to 90 back
ward even in his sympathies. Wife
beating and the whipping post are twin
relics of barbarism, and it is simply
barbaric to suppose that one will cor
rect the other Wife beating can never
be abolished by still further degrading
the man that inficts it. and it is the
universal testimony of all penologists
that the whipping post. like all other
antique forms of physical torture. sim
ply converts a man into a sullen wild
beast.

I@
New York, June 25.-In my
morning mail is a letter from a
young man who calls my attention
to some statements which made
recently concerning young woman
who refused to marry a man whose
moral character did not equal her
own. This correspondent is at
odds with my position He writes:
If her parents were satisfied with
him as a sOn-in-law why should
she object to him because he was
a little fast?' A second reading
of the article will show this CORE
spOndent that no attempt was made
to decide for this young lady, her
case being taken as a good one to
emphasize a social creed which |
fully believe in, Notwithstanding
this very earnest letter from a man
who thinks | am entirely in the
wrong. Briefly the position taken
in the Sunday morning talk was
this: There should be no different
moral standard for young men
than for young women.
l said | did not take an atom of
stock in this miserable makeshift
to excuse young man by saying
he was only sowing his wild cats.
That if young woman sowed the
same wild oats she would be Sc
verely censured. That if the moral
standards for both sexes We're not
the same, two sets Of command
ments should have been found on
Sinai. one with wild Oat reserva-
tions for Young men. Ialso added
that a man has a right to demand
at the marriage altar only what he
can give in return.
A MATRIMONIAL AUCTION.
Am | right CT wrong in taking
this position? Generally speaking
it is safer and better to follow the
advice of father and mother in
every way possible, but not always.
Some society mothers have been
known to sell their daughters for
the sake of obtaining fashionable
and financially backed marriage for
them. These daughters have been
brought out, their charms eXhib-
tied, and at this matrimonial auc-
ton they have gone to tie highest
bidders. Then the match-makers
put on a knowing look and say:
Rare bit of diplomacy on the part
of Mrs. Y. Well managed, and if
the daughter plays her cards as
shrewdly she is well fixed for life.
Other people who believe that
love should be the first tie at every
marriage altar, say: What pity.
That girl, left to herself, might
have enriched some mans life with
the wealth of her womanly affec-
ton. Some true hearted man who
would have blessed this woman
with the gift of a manly heart, but
who didn't have gold enough to
put him in the list of good catches,
says: | loved that girl and would
have done all in my power to make
her happy, but there was no chance
for me where everything else ex-
cept money was of secondary con-
sideratiOn.
There are eases in which parents
DO not hold the highest ideals be-
fore them in this question of the
marriage of their daughters, and
think the criticism holds good in
the instance referred to. The
daughter objected to a marriage
with fast young man, notwith
standing that in some respects ht
was a good catch, and my CORE
spondent thinks she should have
waived the moral aspects of tn,
question and accepted his proposal

OF the Pardon Board Held IT the Pen
Yesterda y.
The pardon board was to have held q
special session at the Moundsville pen
itentiary yesterday morning. but owing
to the absence Of w. w. Brannen the
meeting was postponed until to-day.
President Morris arrived at the institu-
ton early, but did not attempt to do
anything on account of the absence OF
Mr.. Brannen. Late in the day he issued
an order postponing the session until
this morning and spent the night at
Wheeling. There we're quite a number
of people at the. prison interested IN
convicts who are asking for pardons.
Congressman Dovener was down to
see that George Emblem, of Wheeling,
serve his full sentence. The prose
cutting attorney of Wayne county. Hon.
C. T. Caldwell, of Parkersburg, Hon.

ent. Nothing was done, however, but
it is expected that Judge Brannen VIII

Assistant Secretary Swartz was a
busy man yesterday laying out the
grounds for the numerous privilege
men who have applied for space for
next weeks fair. Never in his exper-
fence has there been such rush for
available space, and it is taken as one
of the best indications of big fair, for
when the privilege men who travel all
over the country, pick out a fair or ex-
hibition in such large numbers. it
shows that they count on it being at
tended by enormous crowds. This year
there will be all kinds and varieties
Of amusements offered on the Midway,
and it will be worth visit to the big
fair to see them alone.
The work of getting the grounds in
shape is progressing nicely, and by
this evening will about be finished. All
the buildings have been painted and
the fences whitewashed and the walks
graded and strewn with cinders, etc,
until the appearance is quite an i'm
proyement on what it was day or so
ago. The stage has been erected in

Many of the spaces for exhibits have
been enlarged, owing the the large
number of entries that have already
been received in the various depart

pates the largest and best show of vege-
tables and fruits, and has arranged for
increased facilities for showing them
off to advantage. The same may be
said of the departments presided over
by Miss Anna Reymann and Mrs. Geo.

this character.

Was tae Sommernaohtsfest of the Opera

One Of the largest and most fashion
able asembiages at Wheeling Park for
an evening entertainment during the
present season was attracted to the
Casino and garden last night, by the
third sommernachtsfest of the Opera
House Military band and orchestra. An
admirable street railway service was
arranged, enabling persons living In
the suburbs to reach home by late cars
ON the Wheeling railway system. This
feature was very favorably commented
upon by the guests of the band, and re-
fleets credit upon Mr.. VIM. II. Paul,
who managed the affair very success
fully.
Eight selections were rendered by the
military band from the stand in the
garden, and the crowd filled up all the
available space under the trees, many
also occupying chairs upon the broad
balcony of the Casino, and drinking in
the feast CT melody with many evil
dences Of enthusiastic appreciation.
At the conclusion of the concert the
Casino doors were opened. and several
hours were devoted to dancing. The
orchestra rendered an especially Sc
lected programme. 1t was one o'clock
this morning when the last strains OF
"Home Sweet Home" died away. and

Will Probably Send up tho Cost Of
Canntd Goods.
THE AMERICAN TIN PLATE COM
PANY HAS MADE ANOTHER UP
WARD MOVE. AND THE con-
SUMER WILL PAY THE DIFFER
ENCE.

A general increase IN the price OF
canned goods is predicted as a result Of
the recent advance in tinplate, as or
dered by the American Tinplate Com
pany.
On Saturday last the company, which
practically controls the tinDlate mills
of the country, gave notice of an adj
vance of 271s cents box in IA by 20
tinplate and 55 GEN.. box in 20 by IS
tinplate. The smaller size is used
chiefly in making tin cans for packing
purposes, and the advance in price thus
comes home to consumers of the goods.
On January l last tin3late sold for
$262 a box. Now it is S4.65. In the
same time the price of three-pound tin
cans advanced from s1.65 to $3.50 a
hundred. This is the regulation size
can used by Gamers.
But this is not the worst of it." said
an interested gentleman yesterday.
Formerly Gamers would receive some
notice of a proposed advance in the
price of tinplate and could regulate
their orders accordingly. For instance,
we might be notified of a 25-cent ad-
vance at a certain date. If the Gamer
then did not see fit to put in his Or
ders at the lower price it was his own
lookout. Nowadays it is different We
have no notice of advances in price TN
til they are actually made.
"There. are usually advances in the
price of tinplate during the packing
season, as the mills become crowded
with orders, but these are anticipated,
and the market usually gets back TO
the normal when the demand is more
slack. This year when the first advance
of 25 cents was made we thought it was
the usual fluctuation, and not much at
tention was paid to it. Nor was the
second advance noticed. but now we
have had one advance after another,
and finally We are told that there is no
likelihood of any reduction in the price.
We 40 not know when another adj
vance may be made.
"A, ether thing which affects tie
came. is that no orders for tinpiate
will lie taken, even for future delivery.
Usually the packers arc able TIC otter
orders, say for Septemhr. Octobes. or
Noy miner delivery, or three months
aj,ead. Now they are IndD Q to place
any orders.
THE result will be that prices of
canned goods will probably soon be ad-
vanced all along the line. The packers
had the advantage of practically clean
floor when the year commenced. Last
years demand. on account of the Wei,
took practically all the years pack of
canned goods, SO that the year was
started with clean field. Thus far the
pack has not quite filled the advance
orders taken at the first of the year.
AS soon as these orders are filled the
balance of the years pack will be sub
ject to an advance in prices on account
of the increased cost of cans and other
conditions of the trade. OF course, the
packers will not benefit by an advance
on the goods packed to fill advance or
ders, but the jobbers may benefit by any
! advance that comes afterward.
