has it recently been made more plain
than in the following editorial from the
Lawrence, Mass, Sun, which is published
in city whose entire prosperity is de-
pendent upon the well-being OF its work
ing classes:
AT each session of the great and general
court many bills are presented rightly termed
foolish measures. No feature of the public
convenience Is subjected TO more foolish legis-
lation than the railroads, both electric and
steam. \ measure calling for the abolition of
grade crossings IS worthy of passage for
dangerous condition would be obviatcd, but
bill requiring railroads to transport rowing
shells free is senseless legislation.
AT this session OF the legislature bill has
been introduced for lower fares on all railroads
within twenty-five miles OF Boston. To pass
such hin would lie injurious 10 all cities aud
towns at the distance from Boston as Is Law

Religion With Trim mings.

Many church members turn up in
Sunday clothing at popular conventions
and for all dress parade occasions, but
when there is real battle with evil to
be fought they are missing. AS one has
well said, The tendency in our day is
to take our religion with too many
trimmings. D. w. White

1EIG KkNs COME HOME TO RoosT.
You may take the world as 1t comes and goes,
And yuu win be sure 10 find
That tate will square the account she owes
Whoever comes out oehinu,
And ali things bad that man has done,
By whatsoever induced
Return at last TO him, one by one
A 5 the chickens come home To roost.
You may scrape and toll and pinch and save,
W While your boarded wealth expands
Till the cold, dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing your life'5 last sands;
You will have your balance struck some light
And you'll find your hoard reduced;
You'll view your life in another light
When the chickens come home to roost
You can stint your soul and starve your heart
With the husks of barren creed
But Christ will know If you play a part
Will know in your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death to come
What hope can there he deduced
From creed alone2 You will lie there dumb
While your chickens come home to roost
Sow as you will, there's time 20 reap,
For the good and bad as well,
And conscience, whether We wake or sleep,
Is either heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find its place.
And every passion loosed
Drifts back and meets you face to face
When chickens come home to roost
Whether you're over under the sod
The result will be the same;
You cannot escape the hand of God,
You must bear your sin or shame.
No matter what's carved on a marble slab,
When the items are all produced
You'll find that ST. Peter was keeping tab"
And that chickens come home to roost

LOCUS CHECKS.
Three People Victimized in this City Yes
terday by stranger.

Three People yictimized iii this City Yes
terday by stranger.
Yesterday the police were informed
that a stranger, of whom an accurate
description was given, was passing
worthless checks on the First National
Bank of Bridgeport, in the city, and a
little inves tigation showed that three
such checks had been floated, each for
small amounts One, for S5.35, signed
by A B. Maddox, payable to George
c. Werder, and endorsed, was given to
julius Lohse, the South Side saloonist,
a second, for an amount not ascertain
ed, was cashed by boarding house
keeper on the South Side, and third,
for $3.50, made payable to J. D. Perine
and endorsed, was cashed at the Grant
House, on Main street. 1t is possible
that still other checks are out. The
papers were fixed UP well, and each
check bore a cancelled war revenue
stamp.
Late last night the police were still
looking for the stranger, but he has
probably gotten out Of town.

INTERESTING DISCUSSION

In the Council Committee on Police, Last
Evening.
The Council Committee on Police
held long session last evening, which
was mainly taken up with a discussion
of large number of police matters.
AS preliminary. bills to.the amount
of $121.74 were recommended for pay
ment
The conversation then turned upon
some much needed additional regula-
lions for the social evil, with particu-
lar reference, at the outset, to the
necessity of keeping track of the wo-
men, and various good and sufficient
reasons were assigned for this, case
in point being furnished by the Chief,
who stated that week ago two young
girls came here from Coshccton, o.,
and were taken by Wheeling man to
a house of i'll repute, where they re-
manned for a week, although anxious to
get away, and it was not until Thurs
day night that the police were able to
locate them and send them home.
The Chief also detailed some reforma-
tory measures in course of institution,
and there was general discussion
upon this subject which it was the
sense of the Committee should not be
referred to in print.
Women in saloons was also an
other topic of discussion, and the Chief
announced it as his opinion that a
great measure of reformation had al
ready been brought about, and that ad-
ditional progress would be made.
The Chief brought TO the attention
of the Committee the necessity for one
or two bicycles, to be kept at headquar-
tiers for emergencies when the tele-
phone would not bring an officer as
quickly as might be necessary, and in
the course of his statement said 1t
often happened, when it was necessary
to secure the attention of an officer to
a matter Immediately, half dozen peo-
pie had to be called up by telephone
and asked, as a favor, to look on the
street for policeman. Sometimes
they did it, and could not find one, and
sometimes they did not care to go to
the trouble, while often drug stores
and other places available were
closed up. With bicycle or two much
time could often be saved. The Com
mittee recommended the purchase OF
two wheels, as a cost not to exceed
800 for the two.
A resolution was also adopted in
creasing the salary of the assistant
lookup keeper from $40 per month to
$50, and an amendment to the ordin-
ance will be drawn and presented to
Council.

TIE PASSING AWAY

OF One of Wheeiings Most Aged and
Highly Respected Residents Yesterday.
In the death of Mrs. Hanna Jane
Booth yesterday, Wheeling loses one OF
her oldest and most respected residents.
For several days Mrs. Booth has been
confined to her bed with a severe cold,
and being of extreme old age, she could
not stand the attack, which brought
on her death at o'clock in the morn
ing. Up to the time of her last illness
the vitality she displayed was subject
of wonder to her many relatives and
friends.
Mrs Hanna Jane Booth was born in
Wheeling in 1916. She was the daugh-
ter of Capt. Crawford, who for long
time was associated with river inter-
ests on the Chic and Mississippi rivers.
Aboupt 1886 she married Capt. Charles
H. Booth. Capt. Booth, shortly after
his marriage, engaged in the shoe bus
mess on Main street with Mr.. Mortimer
Pollock. About 1850 Capt Booth re-
moved to his farm on Sunfsh creek,
and from that time up until his
DEATH in August, 1884, was asso-
ciated with river interests, being super
intendent of the Wheeling and Par
kersburg Transportation Company.
About thirty years ago Capt. Crawford
moved his family to No. 134 North
Front Street, Island, where they have
since resided.
Mrs. Booth is survived by one sister
and one brother, Mrs. Campbell, OF
Moundsville, and Mr.. Bailey Crawford,
Of Dilley's Bottom, O., just opposite
Moundsville One daughter and four
sons resulted from the marriage, OF
whom the four sons are still living.
They are: Crawford Booth, of Taylor,
Texas; William Booth, of near Gales
burg, Ills; and Asa and Frank Booth,
who reside in this city. Mrs. Fred.
Huseman, the only daughter, died
number of years ago.
Word of Mrs Booths illness was
sent to her son, Mr.. William Booth,
who hurried with all possible dispatch
from Illinois, arriving yesterday morn
ing. His mother, however, never re-
gained consciousness after his arrival.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon from the family residence,
No. 134 North Front street. Interment
will be made at Greenwood.
