WORK THEIR WAY THROUGH.

Most people picture the young man who earns his own expenses while at college as Il long-faceu priS who roo1ns ill a garret. where he breaks the ice in his pitcher of water 10 wash With in winter. and tells himself how noble he is to preserve in spite of the sneers and snubs of his more fortunate class mates.
 If that type of collegian ever really existed he is now extinct. The mod- ern self supporting student is not snubbed nor snepred at by anybody. and he smiles occasionally. This is because there are more college men earning their living to-day than ever before, and because they earn better living. One-quarter of the entire three hundred and one members of the last class graduated at Yale supported themselves partly or wholly; probably all of them ate three meals day, and many of them were quite in the thick of college life besides. This point is emnhas sized because I know that every wear some boys think of going to col iege and then give it up largely though they may not confess it-be- cause they hate to think of being ..uueer'' and "out of things This is , notnral feeling but it is unnecessary. [ recall no football team at my college ,princeton) in the last ten years that did not have at least one man working his way through, and invariably some of the most popular and influential men in every class are self-supporting.

BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Hear Charges and Pass Judgment on
 Officer O'Hearn.


 The board of safety held q special meeting last evening for the purpose of hearing the charge against Police man Thomas O'Hearn of taking drink while in the discharge of his duty. The result of the hearing ought to teach the officer and all of his comrades to take the advice of the mayor that it is bet ter to Hay off, a day or two when one of them is feeling unwell than to try to weather off the growing illness. The charge was preferred by Sergeant Blakeley and substantiated by Lieuten- ant DOddS. The sergeant testified in q general way to the effect that on his rounds on the morning of January 3l he noticed the officer standing at the corner of Bank and South Leonard streets and observed, upon coming nearer that he looked as though under the influence of drink. He was not so much so, however, that the sergeant thought it advisable to suspend him from duty right there. or even after ward The officer, in fact. was not suspended at all. The sergeant after reInarkinG to the officer that he was sorry to see him With evidence of drink upon him. went his way. Lieu tenant Dodds testified that had he not
 
 dition he would not have taken any ro- tice of him when he reported at police headquarters to go home after work The lieutenant and officer Joked about bringing charges against the latter.
 Chief Egan spoke very highly of the officer, remarking thar he was sur prised when informed that he had been derelict in the performance of his du ty The officer has been on the force since lSS6 and during that time has been locked upon as a model officer in every respect The chief could not speak better of him. In his defense the officer stated that he had not been feeling well and partook CT two drinks of strong liquor that evening. He thought the feeling would be only temporary anyway and he did not care to lay of duty on that account. That was all he had to say. Thereupon the commissioners asked the officer q few questions. and the mayor said that it would have been better for the officer to have gone home for a day rather than risk his position by trying to ''weather" off q feeling of illness. Many good man. he said, lost a good position in that way. The taxpayers pay the police well and the police ought to be cOgniZant of that fact. The board then went into executive session and after deliberating quarter of an hour agreed that the officer should be | fined five days pay and be given q reprimand next Sunday evening in the presence of his comrades when all are gathered at the police headquarters be fore going on duty for the night.

HOT DEBATE IN HOUSE.
Sulzer of New York and Steele of h.
 diana Glared at Each Other

Washington. Feb 12.-In the house yesterday, in the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation Dill, dn impaSSioneu prO-BOer speech by AIr Sulzer of New York drew from Mir MahOn of PennSylvania recital Of the raising of a fund Of about $1.2OO for the benefit of the widows of Boer soldiers in q meeting held in this city, over which Mir Sulzer presided.
 He said that after the ''terrapin and cold bottles got ill their work only SIS was left for the Boer widows.
 This stung Mir Suizer. who said lie had nu connection with the expenditure of the fund. to which he had contrib uted $175., and lively row followed, the climax of which was reached when ALr SulZer read an anonymous letter which made a sensational personal at tack upon Perry $. Heath. former as SiStant postmaster general. who was secretary of the republican national committee during the recent campaign, charging him with being Neely's spon- sor and then denying it after the ar rest of Neely.
 Did you contribute to the fundT asked AIr Sulzer of MT Mahon.
 II did not: 1 knew the gang who were running it. was the reply, fol lowed by much laughter.
 He remarks of Mr MahOn. delivered in d semi humorous vein. aroused the ire Of Mir SulZer. who declared that if by any construction or implica ton MT Mahon meant to reflect upon his con- usction with receptions of the Boer en- VOWS, he hurled the accusation back ill his teeth and declared that it Was an absolute fal;ehood. As there is q dis position to throw mud, he added, I'll throw a little myself.
 Then he had the anonymous letter refiecting on Perry Heath read. It created d sensation. Feeling ran high as the debate proceeded. -At one point Mir Steele of Indiana suggested that Mir Slllzer had not fathere.i the anouy- nous letter.
 Il father every word of it, shouted Mir SulZer. springing 10 his feet. and I am responsible for what 1 say, here or outside
 Oh, you have said that before. Don't say it any more. answered MT Steele. hotly. across the aisle. You can't bluff me- Mir SulZer threw back.
 Mir Steele had paced up and down the aisle during the colloquy, manl- festing some disposition to cross the , chamber while MT Sulzer shook his in- dex finger defiantly. At another point Mr Sulzer again exclaimed that he was | ready to answer for his action in the | house or individually outside.

Higher Wages
 Fot. Everybody

It is true that this country is grow ing rich very rapidly. But it is also true that it is only getting rich ill certain spots. A fertilizer is no us9 # left in one spot; 1t must be scattered to produce good results. There are business concerns which are making money very fast and they are paying as small wages as other concerns whose competition is so great that they are making no money and can not afford to pay good wages.
 It seems to us that if concerns that are making good money would be 1uore liberal in paying good wages the prosperity of the people would be more general. It is upon the peo- pie that are getting good wages that the prosperity of the merchants de penls and this would be a good sub ject for the Merchants Association all over the country to take up. If the philanthrOpiStS of this country would increase their pay rolls it would be the best religion they could practice. Big profits and small wages has brought hell on earth instead of Heaven. Everything points to q pros porous year. IT is always q good sign to see the Furniture business start with a strong demand for Parlor Suits. This is what it has done and we have . magnificent line from SEQ up. Our complete stock of House. Furnishings should be seen by every economical purchaser and We have courteous and obliging salesnen who will take delight in showing you. Our liberal terms will make the buying easy for you.

CAMP MEETING.
Hosts OF Joshua Assembled In Tented
Field.

holiness camp meeting, preached
by Holy Ghost fire preachers, is max
ing lasting impression,on the hearts
of the people and many souls are
crying out, Lord what must do to
be saved? and are now plunging into
the crimson fountain, believing and
receiving a blessing that the Psalm
ist prayed for when he said create in
me a clean heart o Lord and renew
a right spirit within me. Ministers
Hatfield, Indianapolis, Indiana, and
Shepherd, of LosEAngels, California,
are men of farI more than usual
strength of 1.-THE spirit and are very
able holiness teachers, making the
highway 80 plain that the lurid blazs
from the mansions 'of light is now
streamingl down from the great
throne of God bearing the message
of peace and love to broken and con-
trite hearts, touching them with holy
fire. God is putting fire touches on
each service. The power from on
High is very manifest, and the Joy of
the Lord is the strength of His chill
dren.
Today there is victory deep in our
souls and triumph where pillows
have rolled. A quiet longing with
Heaven not Star, and priceless
treasurers waiting at the golden bar.
Wen exalt Hisl holy name while he
gives US Lbreath and sing jubilant
praises until silenced by death.
These lines is the sentiment of the
presentiholihess camp meeting. Come
and get blest.
Extractslfrom the book of Joshua
for the encouragement of meeting:
So Joshua assembled from Gilgal he
and all the people of war with him.
And the Lord said unto Joshua, "fear
them not for 1 have delivered them
unto thy hands. !" Then spake Joshua
to thelLord. And said in the sight OF
Israel, sun stand still, and the sun
stood still and the moon stayed until
the peopleIhad avenged themselves.
So theEsun stood still in the midst
of heaven and hasted not to go down
about a.whole day. There was no
day like.that before or after it. Then
the Lord hearkened to the voice of
man, fort Lord fought for Israel.
And theiLord.said unto Joshua "be
not afraid because of them" So
Joshua took the whole land accord
ing to all the Lord had said. Moses,
Nevertheless my brethren that went
up with, me made the heart of the
peopleImelt, but I wholly followed
the Lord. VAS yet l am as strong this
day as l was in the day that Moses
sent me. AS my strength was then
even soils my strength now for was
10th to go out and come in. Now
therefore give me this mountain
whereof the Lord spake in that day.
If so be the Lord will be with me,
then shall be able to drive them out
as the Lordssaid. And Joshua said
unto the children of Israel, how long
are you slack to go to possess the
land in which your fathers have
given YOU" Pip.

BURGLARY.
Hamilton & Hamilton Hardware
Store Entered.

Burglars made visit to the Hamil-
ton & Hamilton Hardware Co. Fri
day night and had things pretty much
their own way. Entrance was OBJ
tanned to the building by breaking the
glass in cellar window. The thieves
went all over the building and helped
themselves to whatever they wanted.
They got several fine revolvers,
dozen or 80 of the best knives and
some razors. No money was taken
but the value of the goods amounts
to over $3.50. Mr.. Hamilton left the
store about 10 O'Clock, p. M, after
making everything fastfor the night.
Saturday morning when the doors
were opened, the show cases were
found bare ofeverything except some
cheap knives and few revolvers.
Both front and back doors were fast
ened as they had been the night be-
fore and at first Mr.. Hamilton was at
a loss to know how the men got IN
On going to the cellar, however, the
broken window was discovered which
toldthe tale completely. No clue has
been secured as to the person who
did the work but the police are on the
trail of some very suspicious char
acters and the matter will be invest
igated to the bottom.

CLAYTON REFUSES.
Offered State Craftsmanship but
Declines to Serve.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. "a Hon.
R. w. Clayton, of Oskaloosa, commit
teeman fromItheiSixth district, was
offered the,chairmanship of the Re-
publican State Central Committee
yesterday afternoon at a harmonious
meeting the committee. However,
when on. the instigation of the
Cummins' men it was proposed to
place an executive committee of five
over the chairman, Mr.. Clayton re.
fusedsthe office. i While Mr.. Clayton,
because of his official capacity re-
manned aloft from the recent Guber-
natortal fight, he was looked upon as
an anti Cummins man. When the
Cummins people won out Mr.. Clayton
still stood for the Republican party
in Iowa, and when he could not do
that with free hand he did not care
to assume the responsibility.
TheICummins men then invited Mr..
Spencellto conference, and he, too,
declined to accept the Craftsmanship
if tied up in that way. However, he
has always favored an executive COM
mittee to have. charge and RESPONSE
bility of the financial part of the cam.
paign ,Iinstead of leaving it wholly in
the handsrofthe chairman. He con-
sented to!the selection of such COM
mitteeiif it were not made a condi-
ton precedent to his election.
After continued conferences all aft
or noon, theICumminsiImen and Mr..
spenceifinally igot together on this
basis, and the committee met at 6 o.
clock and elected Spence unanimous
ly by the adoption of the resolution
appointing the committee named.
