rmn1ov Children Under Age.

Something of a sensation has been Gre
ated by the announcement that the State
labor commission had found over 100 chill
dren under the legal age of IA at work
in Milwaukee factories. The large ma
jority of these were employed by knitting
companies, thirty being taken from one
factory and sent to their homes. The in
vestigation by State officers is very rigid
one, in which it is anticipated that many
children will be found to be Illegally en-
ployed.

Morning Work.

Lord IGremont once invited Turner
to stay week at Petworth and paint
two pictures for him of some fayorite
bits of scenery on the estate. On the
first morning of his visit Lord Eyre
mont asked Turner what he should
like to do, and the great painter re-
piled he would so fishing.
The next morning at breakfast Lord
E. inquired again what it would please
Mr. Turner to do; and he replied that,
having enjoyed himself so much yes
terday, he would go fishing again.
On the third morning Lord Egremont
thought he would wait for Turner to
announce his own plans, and was great
ly amused when he quietly said he was
again going fishing.
On the fourth morning, Lord E., I'M
able to conceal his anxiety, said:
''Well, Mr.. Turner, am only too glad
for you to enjoy yourself, but you are
talking of going away tomorrow, and
I feel anxious about the pictures
'Conle up stairs to my ROOM said
Turner, land set your mind at rest
Nothing could exceed the surprise
and delight Of Lord Egremont when
Turner introduced him to two eX-
quisite pictures painted as he had de-
sired. The great man had risen each
morning with the sun, and before
breakfast had, by good days work,

Mailbag Tempered with.

The official mailbag from the Paris
Foreign Office, which reached the French
Embassy Tuesday. was in a damaged
condition, a hole being rent in one end
large enough to permit a hand and arm
10 be inserted and the contents OF the
bag examined. Fortunately, however,
an examination OF the contents and
comparison with the official list oi
Enclosures showed that nothing had
been removed. and the seals on the
various official communications were
unbroken, probably because an inspec-
ton indicated that no funds were in
closed
The reports OF late OF the payment to
Spain Of Sac. 900, 900, through The medium
OF the French Embassy, may have led
to this mutilation Of the French bag.
The hole was too carefully made to be
the result OF accident. A large heart
shaped incision was made in the leather
and this was torn sideways, making an
opening about six inches across.

A Statue TO Gen. Lee.

Within a stones throw of the old
homestead OF Gen. Robert E. Lee, at
Arlington, a site was selected Tuesday
on which to erect an equestrian statue
OF the great Confederate leader. The
land is the highest in this section OF the
Old Dominion, just east OF the new court
house of Alexandra County, and COM
mands a fine view OF the National
Capital. while the historic river which
divided North and South nearly 40 years
ago can be seen in its majestic grandeur
jar below the historic Long Bridge.
1t is expected that the Confederate
Associations throughout the country will
come to the aid OF the local body 1t
is the intention to make the erection OF
the monument not a local affair, but
national one.

Use and Abuse Of sunday.

The use and abuse oi Sunday was the
theme of discourse by Rev. z. Brad
ford Leavitt at All Souls Unitarian
Church last Sunday morning, He spoke
to explode the theory that the first day
was holier than any other day of the
week. There was not single sentence
of Scripture, maintained Mr.. Leavitt, in
proof of the generally accepted belief
that it is sinful to indulge in secular
performances on the Sabbath. In fact
he maintained, the evidence IS virtually
to the contrary.
Mr., Leavitt began his sermon by
quoting all the passages OF Scripture
which bore in any way upon the Sabbath
He called attention the fact that not one
sentence either IN the Old or New
Testament, supported the Puritanical
Sabbath, and said that the Sabbath OF
the Tews was merely cessation from all
work, and that on this day there was
fessting and merrymsking and such
pleasures as the people of the present
day usually participate in on Thanks
giving. Mr.. Leavitt quoted from st.
Paul TO show that the Apostle absolved
the Gentiles from observing any Of the
Jewish customs and days which were
obnoxious to them. This carried with
il the observation of the Sabbath day.
''The early Christians" added Mr..
Leavitt, observed the first day of the
week from necessity. 1t was observed
by Holy Communion, after which they
went about their usual avocations Of
life."
''It was not until the time Of Constan'
tine that the first day OF the week was
made the Christian Sabbath and only
then as an expediency, and works Of
mercy and necessity were permitted.
Up to the time Of the sixteenth century
the Puritanical Sabbath and the strict
observance OF the first day OF the week
were unknown" Mr., LeaVItt announced
that he was glad to say this to the young
people of today who felt that they were
breaking some divine law by riding on
Sunday or bicycling or engaging n
other harmless .amusements. All
this, OF course, involved the genera
Sunday question, and it followed ina
there was no Impropriety IN the SUNDAY
newspaper. Not long ago in the city o
Boston an attempt had been made te
do away with the Sunday newspaper

recreation on the Sabbath day.

From present prospects the excursion
for the benefit Of the District Volunteers

OF the committee on amusements said
that Captain Chisholm, of the Morton
Cadets, promised to give an exhibition
drill, and Captain Domer, of the Fenci-
bles, will also assist in the same way.
A competitive drill, open to two men

The Oriental Building Association
has taken a step which puts it abreast
of the times, by determining that in the
future Szoo will be advanced upon each

per cent. loan, which with the saving OF
commissions, the privilege OF returning
the loan in small monthly payments or
in bulk at any time, and the liberal
interest allowed ny the Association to
its stockholders, affords to contemplat-
ing borrowers, an opportunity to secure
loans at very reasonable rates. Those
carrying loans at high rates OF interest

Monday paper rather than the Sunday

ular that their sermons shall appear in

that he had known OF ministers hiring
reporters to work on Sunday iHOrder

use OF the Sabbath day, Mr. Leavitt
