Juvenile courts and the system OF
probation for young offenders have
proved so successful in Eastern cities,
especially i'm Boston, that much good
was expected from the introduction Of
the plan in Chicago. The results are
disappointing. The fundamental idea
Of the system Is that for a first offense
a young lawbreaker shall be placed on
probation, during the term Of which he
is to be under the care OF suitable per-
sons. In Chicago at least twenty-five
probation officers are needed. The city
appointed only five, each of whom has
charge of about three hundred boys,
and the whole fifteen hundred are
herded together in reformatory
school which does not reform but cor
rupts. It Is pity that American cities
are so slow to learn that anything
which prevents an increase in the mum
Der OF criminals is saving in dollars
and cents, to say nothing of the moral
gain.

Great Plot In South America Shows

Signs of Thicl<cning.
Washington, Aug. 20.--NeWs received
yesterday from South America shows
that the plot revealed few days ago Is
thickening, and it would not surprise
Washington officials If Venezuela, Co
lumbia and Ecuador would within the
next week be the scene of one Of the
greatest struggles in the history Of
South America Word was received
yesterday that Ecuadoran troops are
preparing to invade Colombia and that
President Castro Of Venezuela has sent
men and arms to Colombia to assist the
Colombian revolutionists. This news
Is Absolute Proof
Of the existence of the great plot to
combine Venezuela, Colombia and Ec-
uador. AS a result it is expected that
there will be revolutions and counter
revolutions, wars between the three
countries and conflicts between the
forces fighting in the interest of the
consolidation and the forces OF the
various revolutionary leaders. Gen.
Tribe Tribe of Colombia is the prime
mover of the plot, and he is being as
sisted by President Castro of Venezuela
and the present government of Ecua-
dor.

German folklore tells Of q peacock
which thrust the glory Of his plunaage
upon all other poultry till o young hen
cackled, "Just look at his feet!" The
peacock had forgotten his Uniformed

not an uncommon expression today.

has much to commend it. It will Gre

understanding that will refuse to

A rare phenomenon attended an
earthquake that visited a little town
In Mexico recently. Having wrecked
several houses in the town the tremor
passed on to a lake in the neighbor-
hood, the waters of which it put into
violent agitation. The agitation ceased
after few minutes, and then the
water gradually disappeared, leaving
the bottom OF the lake exposed. when
it was seen that the earthquake had
opened a fissure In the bottom and
thus drained 1t. VI

"A pleasant accompaniment OF the
hot weather this summer is the in
creasing tendency on the part of city
teamsters to provide their horses with
head coverings. The really fashiona-
BILE thing in equine millinery Is 9
walking-hat Of straw, with a high
crown and holes in the brim through
which the horses ears protrude. Some
of the teamsters who have feminine
friends and sense Of humor have
provided their animals with trimmed
hats, generously decorated with chif-
fon, bright colored ribbons or gaudy
quill 4 The hats themselves are a. con-
siderable protection against the sun,
and when, as Is usual, a wet sponge
Ia placed in the crown, the horse can
do his work without danger and in
greater comfort. It Is a sensible in
novation.

The Kongo ivory as, indeed, all AT
rican ivory, is far more highly priced
than the Asiatic product. It is harder.
of finer grain, lends itself more easi-
" to workmanship, and has fewer fs-
sures. The tusks of Kongo elephants
are as rule very large and weigh on
an average OF 60 pounds. Some OF
them are Of extraordinary size. At the
Brussels exhibition a pair Of tusks
were on show each Of which weighed
156 pounds.

Upon Before the First OF the
Week Commissioners Roekhill
Hopes to Leave Pekin within q
Week Practically Nothing Ac-z
compIished During the Year.

Washington, Aug. 49,. Secretary Hay
received dispatch from Commissioner
Rockhill, dated at Pekin yesterday, ex-
pressing the belief that the protocol
would be signed yithin q few days. This
dispatch disposed Of the press report
that the protocol was signed Thursday.
Commissioner RoclShill expected to sign
the protocol and leave for home Thurs
day. He is waiting for the purpose and
expects to get away from PeRin within
K a week. }5 45 ss$
The state department does not regard
the signing Of the protocol as the END OF
the negotiations. IT is, in fact. only the.
beginning. and it Is not encouraging
that the powers have consumed one
year in getting together on the basis OF
an understanding with China. What
has been accomplished is satisfactory
to degree, but there will probably Pc
more trouble in arranging the treatles
that are to be drawn in harmony with
the protocol. The grsste ST obJection 20
the protocol is that It simply meets the the
demands of the powers on CHINA, an 'll
does practically nothing toward pre-
venting recurrence of the Boxer trou-
bile or the antagonism. to foreie ners.
There has been little done toward 2
treaty Of friendship with China. LIS is

shall pay for the outrage year ago

istration III China which will make the
country safer for foreigners in the fu-
ture. The foreign ministers still nave
much work before them, and it is OF
character to test their diplomatic SIKH
and their political Judgment. Minister
Conger will resume the work for TINS
government. While he can be r rs,ilt
upon to negotiate treaty satisfactory
to the United States, he will be more or
less hampered by the conflicting mo-
tives and concealed purposes OF other
powers. What has been accomrlls'nn'ea
is in striking contrast with what was
accomplished by Jaran in her treaty
with China after the war OF 1898. ne
treaty negotiated in 1895 did much more
than exact indemnity. It opened emma
to Industrial DEVELOPMENT and gave
great boom to foreign trade with China.
