FROM "FAUEs IN THE STREET"

By Henry Lawson. They lie, the men who tell us in a loud, decisive tone That want is here stranger, and that misery's unknowni For where the nearest suburb and the city proper meet My windowsill is level with the faces in the street.
 Drifting past, drifting past,
 To the beat of weary feet While l sorrow for the owners of those faces in the street. And cause have to sorrow, in land so young and fair, To see upon those faces stamped the look of Want and Care; I look in vain for traces of the fresh and fair and sweet In sallow. sunken faces that are drifting through the street
 Drifting on, drifting on.
 To the scrape of restless feet; can sorrow for the owners of the faces in the street. I wonder would the apathy of wealthy men endure Were all their windows level with the faces of the Poor? An! Mammon's slaves, your knees shall knock, your hearts in terror beat When God demands a reason for the sor- rows of the street,
 The wrong things and the bad things
 And the sad things that we meet In the filthy lane and alley, and the cruel heartless street. ----.-A---.4.--

Cotton is Goinu Up.

Cotton, both spots and futures, has been advancing two weeks and the market is both strong and steady. This rise in prices is very timely. Ordinarily rise comes when parties other than the producers hold the greater part of the crop, but the pres ent advance comes when nine-tenths of the crop is in the hands of the men who made it. The rise already exceeds five dollars a bale. or over S50,OOO,OOO upon the crop, and it is not to be wondered at that the farmers of the south feel new life in their veins, new hopes in their hearts.
 The good effects of the rise will be felt in every branch of trade in the south. ob legations long overdue will be discharged, and trade will receive the benefits of the balances. which will be considerable. A good picking month is now much needed, and the signs are that October will be such a month.
 The present rise has found remarkable support in the needs and foresight of the southern cotton mills. These mills began early in the cotton year to pick up all the cotton of their respective nelghborhoods, advancing the price fully up to the ship side price, and when foreign spinners heard of this they at once began to doubt MT. Nell's fairy tales, and then they began to send over buying orders. As cotton goods are booming and all mills are full of or ders, the aggregate consumption is sure to outrun production, thus drawing heavily upon the reserve supply.
 If producers will be slow in marketing their crop, there is no reason why they should not secure seven cents for their cotton. The price and strength of cotton goods justify such price now. and a little patience and courage on the part of pro- ducers will secure it. We say without reservation that no pound of good cotton should be sold below seven cents. The diminished production as well as the active condition of the cotton goods trade alike make such a price reasonable and just. A level should be established for the staple that will give the farmer seven cents Some of the spinners are still holding off depending upon the Neill estimate of the crop but the course of receipts will soon show them that MT. Neill is not infallibe When all the spinners begin to buy, then prices will indeed be advanced, and such a movement on their part is due at any | time The more far-sighted and clear sighted of their number are following the example of the southern spinners, and buying now. The big-crop delusion is pass ing away, and MT, Henry M. Neilfs wings are clipped.

CHILD LABOR NORTH CAROLINA

From the Providence Journal.
 A highly gratifying report on child labor in North Carolina has been made public by Labor Commissioner Lacy, of that state. In 1896 6,S22 men, 10,567 women and 60i6 children were employed in cotton mills in the North State, whereas this year the fig ures are, respectively 13,950 15,SS7 and $40. The decrease in the number of children in three years is therefore nearly 50 per cent. The report also shows that the men Of North Carolina are more and more going into the cotton mills, and that the propor- tion of women employees to men is not so large as it used to be. One striking feature in the decrease of the number of children employed is brought out by the fact that in 1896 there were but two-thirds as many spindles as there are today. At present the number of spind1es is 12O0,000 and the in- crease to this total, while fewer and fewer children are employed, is creditable to the southern people. Apparently it is harly fair to urge against them, at least so far as North Carolina is concerned, that their cotton mills are successful only because they employ child labor

Governors Aroused

Several governors have taken vigorous measures to bring the people of their states to a realizing sense of the disgrace the law less rule of lynchers fastens upon them, and the decrease in the crime is doubtless due in some measure to such efforts. In Texas Governor Savers efforts resulted in the indictment sfor mur- der of eight men charged with lynching Efumphries and his two sons, and the eases against the defendants are being vigorously pushed.
 In Georgia man named Hamilton, ar rested as one of a mob which lynched a negro, has made confession duplicating number of citizens of Gainesville. and their vigorous prosecution hy the state is pI Iomised.

 Of these twenty-one were negeoes and twelve whites.
 The attributed causes were: Assault on women, 12; assault on men. (the i've Ital- ians killed in Louisiana); aiding escaping murderers, 8; for lynching, 3; murder, 3; theft, 3 robbery, 1; arson, l; race war (whitecaDs), 1.
 The brief report of the cases printed be- low show that in several eases the lynch CTS were negroes, who in one instance lynched one of their own race for the crime witch more frequently than any other prompts whites to lynch negroes. In another they aided mob of whites in lynching negro, and in a third they lynched two negroes for the crime of lynching.
 Records for fourteen years show that lynchings are less numerous in the months covered by the above figures than in other the period covered represents an average for the year, it is seen that there is d very marked decrease in the crime to be re- corded for 1899. Estimating from the fig ures given, it is reasonable to hope that the total number of cases this year will not exceed one hundred, whereas the aver age number of lynchings reported annually since 1885 is one hundred and siXty-eisht. The highest number was in 1892, when the total was 235; the lowest in 1887, when there were 122.

contrast to the blue clothing of the rest of
the military escort. The English musicians
had been hurried in from Ann Arbor by
special Michigan Central train, 10 assist in
welcoming the American generals. They
did their share to the tune Of patriotic
Yankee marching airs. The crowd along the
route of the parade was especially enthu-
siastic in welcoming General Wheeler, many
rushing out and grasping his hand as he
passed. General Alger was kept busy bow

SUCCESSFUL COLONIZATION.
Three New Towns Growing Up
In White Pine.

Three years ago the Mormon Church
purchased three ranches in White
River valley and one ranch in Steptoe
valley, near Ely, comprising in all about
1000 acres of land capable of being ir-
rigated, besides several thousands of
acres of grazing land. When these
ranches we're purchased, they support
ed perhaps dozen white people and as
many Indians, except in haying time,
when the number was somewhat great
er. At the present time there are three
towns we'll started on these ranches
With a total population of about 325
souls divided as follows: Lund $50,
Preston IS and Georgetown 100. These
people are all from Utah, where few
Of them yet remain to close up their af-
fairs before moving to their new homes.
In our visit last week to White River,
where the two former towns are located,
we could not help but notice the trans
formation which is being effected.
Though most of the people did not ar
rive till this spring, about l5 substan-
tial and comfortable houses have al
ready been built at Lund and half as
many at Preston, while the material is
on the ground for several more. The
first hay crop Is already up and good
sized stack stands near each house.
Each settler has a'good garden IN which
is to be found nearly every variety OF
vegets bles known to this climate.
Shade and fruit trees are being set out
and it will be a matter OF only short
time when these towns will be the most
attractive in the county. At Lund a
brick kiln will soon be started 10 burn

DIDN'T JAR YOU?
Earthquakes Shake Things Up
in White Pine

For the second time within week,
this town was visited by earthquake
shocks last Sunday night. The first
shock was felt about l0:30 while there
were still number of people on the
street, and It was so strong that even
those who had retired for the night
we're rudely awakened. The vibration
was felt for fully 80 seconds and was
preceded by deep rumbllng sound.
Houses shook, furniture iarred and
dishes ratified on tables and shelves.
Lights were struck all over town and
heads poked out of windows and doors
to learn the cause OF the unusual dis
turbanee, when suddenly a second
shock, sharper but shorter than the
Asst, vas FELT.
II gives one decidedly wierd and
uncanny sensation 30 feel the solid
earth shake under ones feet. 1t cre-
ates a desire for company, and num-
Der Of lone bachelors showed up down
town in more or less abbreviated attire
ITO talk it overn. Everything re-
mained quiet, however, and within
short time the street was deserted and
the town was wrapped in slumber.
Shortly after daylight, third shock
was felt by a few early birds and some
who we're awakened from their morn
ing maps.
There has been considerable discus
sion here about the direction in which
the waves were travelling-some main
tain that the seismic impulse always
follows the lines of magnetic force,
which are practically north and south;
but the majority Of the observers here
are OF the impression that these waves
we're moving from west to east. The
latter theory seems to be verified by the
fact that the shocks we're not felt eth
er to the north or south of Ely, but
we're felt to both the east and west. At
Eureka aud Hamilton there was one
strong shock, at West Camp there we're
six felt, at Comins ranch, besides the
shocks felt in town, strong shock was
noticed between l and 2 A. NJ, which
awoke the entire family, while at Nc
Gil's ranch, Cherry Creek and White
River nothing was felt. Another proof
of the east and vest theory was found
in a residence here next morning, when
It was observed that the pictures on
the walls had all been swung towards
the east.
