CHILDREN.
Great Scarcity of Them
In New England.
Situation Viewed Very GraveIy by
Hon. David Mills.

Ottawa, Ont, July 10.-tSpl)- re-
markably outspoken letter on the lack
of children in New England families
is printed here from Hon. David
Mills. minister of justice. Writing TO
friend, Mr.. Mills says:
"The New England people are upon
the soil but are not of 1t. They oh
vously dislike farming as much as
their women do having children and
were it not for the incapable among
them. and the foreigners who have
taken up their residence among them
there would be neither children born
nor fields cultivated.
IF left to themselves, the descend.
ant of the pilgrim fathers would be
as rare as the great AUX and the race
is sure to share the fate of the dodo.
This must be Il very serious prob
lem for the United States statesmen
Stop the foreign immigration and the
United States would not increase In
population and after time theiI
numbers would begin to diminish.
There is obviously something
wrong With a people, who under con
ditions so favorable, have such small
families.
Tho United States woman does moi
realize her duties TO God and hel
country and thinks more of her owr
pleasure than she does of the respon
sib!itles which the creator has imposed
upon her."

Miss Tucker, Character DeIineator
 Will Assist the Officers.

Tn writing of Miss Eugenia Livingston Tucker. who will assist the members of the Police Relief Association in the theat- rioal entertainment to be given Friday night, the editor of the Greenville (s CD News characterizes her performance as follows:
 Miss Tucker entertained e large ans cultured audience at Babb's Hall lac night. From the beginning to the close she held the audience enthralled In dreamy nigths of fancy in melting pathos or side-splitting humor. Her character delineations and dialect were true to life and brought forth hearty applause. Her description of the horse race was original and unique and cannot be surpassed. She carried her audience with her in intense excitement to the finish. When Glenary. the winner. passed under the wire A shout went up from the excited crowd who had been led to believe that they were witnessing the real thing Tn her pathos she reveals thorough knowledge of the chords of the human heart and with the hand of a master plays at will Miss Tucker Is truly an artist in her spe- cialty and as an entertainer has few equals"
 The entertainment to be given Friday night for the benefit of the Relief Asso- citation which has for its objects the as. sistance Of members while sick, when in an accident and the assistance of oficers' families at times of death. The cause is a most deserving one and ehould draw a large crowd to the Jefferson Theatre.

BISHOP BARNWELL
 SPOKE AT ST. MARY'S
Confirms a Large ClaSs-The Music Particularly Good.
 Preached at Avondale

Rt. Rev. Robert w Barnwell, Bishop of Alabama, ofnciated at St. Mary son. Highlands yesterday. The Bishop confirmed large class. and at night he preached at Avondale.
 In his discourse yesterday morning the Bishop spoke of the perfect character of Christ, how he embodied all the clements that go to make up the perfect man. He said that Christ was not spoken of as a perfect man, but the perfect man. Christ had enobled all things, especially labor and toll. He has chosen as his avocation the trade of carpenter.
 The Bishop emphasized the importance of taking common sense view of things, even In religion He said their church was a common sense church, and urged all the members to take this view of mat ters. That a man might have all the intellectual power and will force to drive him along but without common sense to guide him in the right direction he would be failure. It was like ship with the power of the engines and all the ma- chinery but without ballast--it was cer- tain to go to the bottom. Common sense was out intellectual ballast-without 1t we would founder and sink.
 The Bishop spoke of his first years work as Bishop in the church, and said the outlook was encouraging and that all must work to make the religion of Christ a potent factor in our lives.
 The music at the morning service was particularly fine and elaborate, and a large congregation was present.

POLICE RAIDERS
 MAKE WATER HAUL
Passover Club Entered and Ten Men Put Under Bond.
 No Resistance

The Passover Club" which has rooms over the Manhattan saloon at the corner of Twentieth street and First alley, was raided by the officers of the police de- partment yesterday afternoon and ten arrests made on the cahrge of violation of the Sunday laws of the city.
 The officers participating in the raid were Chief Austin, officers Cole, Jordan. Culpepper and Shirley. The arrests were made shortly after 6:30 o'clock. and 1t is said were the result of complaints made to Chief Austin. No paraphernalia of any kind was secured by the officers. and the cases were entered as simple violation of the Sunday laws of the city.
 In making the raid the officers carried with them their axe, but only two times were they forced to wield 1t and cut through the air. for the men inside the place opened the doors and welcomed the policemen with as much grace as 1t Is possible for men to do under circum- stances when warrants are to be served upon them.
 Their cases will come up for trial this morning in Judge Feagins court, and the result will be watched with interest.
