Washington certainly, and we think the
country generally. will welcome the
United States Daughters of 1872" who are
about to be incorporated by Congress. We
already have the Colonial Danes" the

Ioice in a society of Rising Sons and

ored).

with their annual convocations, their deep
and mysterious discussions of parliament
tary law. their Respondent ribbons and
badges, and their Presidents General. Vice
Presidents General. and Assistant Acting
Doorkeepers General. They do us all good,
and when they come to Washington the
city very properly rises in their honor, and
very few citizens, indeed. leave town. The
United States Daughters of 1872 should
be followed at once by the Daughters of
the Mexican War and the Daughters OF
the Rebellion Then in a few years the
Roosevelt patent will expire and We can
have the Strenuous Daughters of 1898"
There is room as well as need for all of
them.
OF course it may be said that so many
Daughters" ought not to run about the
country without chaperons. The ''Daugh-
tiers of the Revolution may easily have
acquired habits which would not suit
either the complications or the digestion of
the Daughters of the Spanish War" and
the United States Daughters of -1S12"
might object TO sharing the same play
ground with the Holland Danes, but
these are details. High above all these
youthful associations is the Congress CT
Mothers with a Jurisdiction ranging from
Maine to Manila, and an experience dating
back to 1892 In, the, presence of the
Mothers" the Daughters" will always

The trusts generally whs ther considered
in their business or their political aspect

position as Prick could ard would have
made of the means and methods by which
the net profits of the Carnegie concern have
been so increased that the head of the

But this bitter cup has been avoided.

Mr. Carnegie of cooking accounts and per-

with regard TO Mr.. Frick which would sub
ject him to fine and Imprisonment in Con-
necticut, it was merely an expression of his
sorrow for his estranged relations with his

which forbids aryhedy to dredge in the
navigable waters OF the United States with
out the authority of the Secretary of War
Many applications to do dredging In navi-
gable rivers and other waterways have
been received-so many that We have a
printed form OF permit II the Secretary
OF War is satisfied that navigation will not
be interfered with in any particular case
the application is granted. In the Cape
Nome case the application was made for
permission to dredge in the sea of that
place within the three mile limit Of Amer
lean Jurisdiction. 1t was found that such
dredging would not interfere with pavi-
cation and the permit was granted on one
of the regular printed forms. Anybody
who applied would have been granted
similar right. Several such applications
have been received and the necessary au-
thority has been and is being forwarded
to the applicants.

been raised dc. 5 not give exclusive au-
thority to dredge OF Cape Nome. Any
body who has applied for similar privileges
may dredge in the same spot The Gov
eminent has no right to the sands in the
bottom of the ocean. but 1t asserts the
right, in an act OF Congress, to prevent
anybody from taking up that sand within
the three-mile limit IL his operations in
terfere with navigation We found that
dredging within the three mile limit OF
Cape Nome would not interfere with navi-
CATION and have granted and are granting
permits which are not exclusive in any
sense. permit does not give the right
to dredge in any particular fixed area
within the three-mile limit. 1t merely
grants immunity from punishment TO any
person who dredges within that limit
In answer to another question, Mr.. Root
said that the permits forbade the holders
from dredging farther in than the shore
line OF low tide. The area inland from
the low-tide mark is under the jurisdic-
ton OF the Interior Department.

Some years ago the newspapersS used

of adventure seeking Seems to have sub

Some students of current literature have
begun to wonder whether the dime novel
has gone entirely out Of circulation, and il
It has what takes the place iof'it! This In
cident indicates that 1t has not entirely
disappeared. but there is no doubt that
yellow backed sensational Stories are not as
widely read by boys as they were, several
years ago.
One reason is that really good literature
is much more plentiful than il used to be.
Books are cheaper. magazines and news

A GIRL BURNED AT THE STAKE
| The Barbarous Crime of Several Men
| In Chesterfield County, q. c.

COLUMBIA. S. c., March 22.-Details OF
the burning of Cassie Bosn. near the VII
lage of jefferson. in Chesterfield COUNT
on Monday night last. show that the crime
was exceptionally barharous. Cassie Bean
lived with her father She was about
nineteen, and had some Indian blood in her
veins. The girl had many admirers amcng
the young farmers. and was much IA ked
about in the community. Last Sunday
afternoon she went driving with Sam
Woodland. They stopped at the home of
Vince Melton. for the girl is known to
have left there to go home at dusk with
James Jackson and Tom Steen.
She never reached home. but on Monday
night Alb. KirkIey. walking in the
woods, heard a woman's scream and then
saw a flaming torch moving through the
pines The clothing of Cassie Boan was
giving the light. He summoned other
men and they went into the woods with
torches. They found the young woman
grcaning on the ground, every particle
of clothing burned away and blood flow
ing from many wounds. Her body and
limbs had been gashed with knives, some
of the slashes being more than q foot
long They were not deep and had been
inflicted merely to torture her. Then
the clothing of the girl had been set
ablaze and the men who had been keep
ing her prisoner in the woods for twenty
four hours set her at liberty.
She recognized John Jackson, one of the
men. when he came up. and asked him to
help her up. He refused to DO SO. TIC the
other men she toid her name. The men
went away for a cart. but the girl was dead
on their return. The place she had been
kept in the woods was found by following
for half a mile the bloody trail from her
body. Three of the jackson brothers and
Tom Steen are in jail. and Steen will turn
states evidence.
Neighbors OF the Beans say that the
Jacksons were jealous at the preference
shown Sam Woodland by Cassie, and that
when she refused TO renounce him they
tortured and then killed her
