The Increase of Capital Stock of the
| United Steel Company-Amended Ar
| ticles Filed at Trenton.
Trenton, N. j.. April 1.-The United
States Steel corporation this afternoon
filed with the secretary of state articles
amending its charter and increasing its
capital to 81, 100 100000. The states fee
for the filing of the papers was $1,000
The original articles filed some time
ago were amended in only one particu-
lar. This amendment was made for
the purpose of taking advantage of an
act passed by the recent legislature.
Originally the corporation could not
mortgage or pledge it's real property or
any of the stock of any other company
except by the affirmative vote of the
owners Of two-thirds of the capital
stock. Under the amended charter it
is necessary to have only the affirmative
vote of two-shirds of the stock repre-
scented in person or by proxy at any
meeting of the corporation.
The reason for the change is the fear
that the stock will become so scattered
that it would be impossible to get. two
thirds of the entire stock represented
at a meeting.

the National Department of the Super
intendence of Schools. If it is, indeed,
a good thing to let alone" shall we
not teach all our children so?
8, There are now forty-two states
in the Union which have Temperance
education laws The modification of
our law will be a bad precedent for the
other states where like efforts are be-
ing made against the law. THE storm
center" says one sis now in Connecti-
CUT but still this is not only local,
but a national question.
10. Finally, our supreme objection.
against this proposed modification Of
the present law is that it looks more
toward the ethical or moral side of the
question than to the systematic and sci
entific. We are not so particular about
the ethical and moral aspects of this
branch being presented in the public
schools; these are better taught in the
home and Sunday school. But if the
systematic and scientific features of the
subject are not taught in the day
school they will not be taught any
where. The Sunday school is not the
place for that; the public school is.
Therefore let it teach. our children and
youth that in the last analysis of the
question it is alcohol which destroys
homes and ruins lives and that its very
nature is such as to frequently create
an uncomfortable appetite which
Craving may be transmitted from

now stands should appear at the hear
ing before the committee on education

BUCKET SHOP LICENSES TAKEN
OUT YESTERDAY.

Yesterday was the day for bucket shop
proprietors to take out an extra license
and commence to keep a record of their
daily business so that the federal Off
Gals may examine it at will. Three or
four men doing a brokerage business
in New Haven took on. the extra Ii
cense yesterday, but all protested that
they were not engaged in the bucket
shop business. At the present time the
sum of S1250 is collected from each pro-
prietor. This will pay for a three
months license. After the expiration
of that time the broker must pay a tax
of $50 year in addition to his regular
tax of $50 a year.
Bona fide dealers are not affected by
the law 1t is only those who do
speculation business without the deliv-
cry of stocks
1t is believed that the law will drive
the bucket shops out Of the business.
They are going to make test case of
1T, according to the revenue officials.

One of the best companies which
have appeared at the Grand opera house
this season is that which presented
"Hogan's Alley there last evening to
an unusually large audience. That the
fact was appreciated was made evident
by the liberal applause with which the
humorous situations were greeted, and
a farce comedy, which abounds in
laughable incidents, it may be judged
that the company was accorded a very
favorable reception. The famous "Yel-
