SCHLhY,S TESTiMONY.

l It has long been evident that Admira Schley is good man under fire on | battleship, and it is now evident that | he is good man under fire on the wit markable piece of work. It is full clear and to the point. It exhibits no tens, detracts not from the credit due others, allows for the mistakes of those who haven't shown good memories in testfylng against him, and is In every way calm, reasonable and impressive,
 It wasn't needed to show that he did
 his duty well in the battle off Santiago,
 but it will increase the admiration and
 respect that have been felt for him.
 What will the verdict be? Nobody knows, but it can be said that the hear ing has been an eminently fair one, and
 that there has been an evident desire on the part of the court to get at the
 truth. A usually we'll informed Wash 
 ington correspondent thinks that prob- ably the court will make no criticism, so far as Schleys conduct in the battle itself is concerned, but it may find that he was lacking in that quality of vigor- ous leadership which the American peo- ple expect of officers of the United States navy in independent command. Such a verdict as this wouldn't be very pleasing to either side of the controver- sy. and it would look like a compro- mise. But it is well to wait and see what the verdict is before saying much about it. Whatever it is, the public will never believe that Schley didn't attend strictly to business when he got chance to help strew the shore with the wrecks of the Spanish ships.

We believe that Massachu- setts, having defended her own chill dren from a cruel and unnecessary in- dustria system. will question the heartless policy which her capital is using to perpetuate the defencelessncss of the children of the South.

 It will be interesting to see what answer Massachusetts makes to this appeal.

amounts to civil commissaries, such as
 the British government has established Ill several of its tropical ports, have
 been started. Until that was done the
 military commissaries could not, ac- cordlng to law, sell anything to out siders (except by public auction under condemnation proceedings) without special authority from the war depart- ment, and if Governor Taft desired some plated silverware, for that is the only kind carried in the government stores he would have needed ar, order from Washington to entitle him to buy 1t. or anything else. The Chinese ser want episode is explained in much the same way; the Chinese were first ex- cluded by General Otis but his policy has been warmly approved by McAr- thur and Chaffee, and is said to be full lv indorsed by Governor Taft. It is not surprising that the wife of the army officer wanted Chinese servants, as they are said to be the only work ing people" in that quarter of the globe, but that she should have seen in her inability to get fresh importation any clash between the military and civil authorities is unlikely.

AN APPiAL FROM 4LtB tMA


 Much has been said lately about the evils of child labor in southern cotton mills and there has been some con- graduation on the fact that such evils no longer exist in the cotton mills of New England. But New England, and especially Massachusetts, will not find much to feel good about in an appeal which comes from Alabama to the press and public of New England for help in the abatement of the increas- ing evils of child labor in the South on the ground that "the responsibility is also yours" Such protective legisla- tion as Alabama once had was repealed by the legislature, the appeal says, as a concession to the demands of the rep sentatives of mill recently removed from the East and operated in Ala the proportion of the children under twelve in the northern and southern
 
 in the mills representing northern in- vestments the actual number of such children employed is twice as great as the number found in the mills con- trolled by southern capital. h the struggle for reform legislation before the last legislature, the friends Of the Child Labor hil, were twice given a hearing before committees. Tn both cases the bill was killed in committee. In each instance the most aggressive and effective opposition came from the salaried representative of Massachu- setts investments: and at the second hearing this representative appeared alone, as the chosen spokesman of all the forces of resistance.

When tangderviit Goes Fly

"0h, father, dear" cried little Ted,

 That which shot OCT the scene Was Bangdervilt outdoing Time
 And spilling gasoline" T thought some other planet might
 Have hit the earth whack," The boy replied, and then, somehow,
 Gone bounding from the track No, it was only Bangdervilt

 The scenes he rushes past He cares not for the spreading scene; He rides that way for fun, And yearns to beat the bullet that

soMi e.45 4. M. coURAGE.

| The great Napoleon spoke of the rar-
 m. kind of courage is equally rare. It
 seems to have been remarkably ex- hibited by c. F. Charles, the express
 messenger on a Southern Pacific train which was held up near Walkers sta
 ton, Oregon, at 2.45 Wednesday morn ing. The train came to a standstill and Charles was ordered to open the
 door of the express car. He refused.
 Open up this car or we will blow you
 up to h." commanded one of the
 robbers. Charles made no response
 and dynamite was then tried on him.
 The first charge blew open one of the
 doors and knocked him down. His
 overalls were blown into shreds, and
 his legs scratched somewhat, but other
 wise he was unhurt. Further com
 mands to open up and threats followed,
 but without avail. He made no reply, knowing that the object of the robbers
 was to locate him in the car and then try to put him out of the way. either by dynamite or bullets. He changed his station to the other end of the car
 A second shot blew open the door at the other end of the car. The third shot failed to go off. as he had re- moved his shoes and quietly walked over to the dynamite and detached the fuse Two more shots exploded, each of them blowing a hole in the floor of the car. All efforts to compel Charles to open up or leave the car failing, the engineer was sent in through the open ing blown into the side. Charles or dered him to get out, and fired shot over his head with his shotgun. The entire attack lasted about forty min utes. The engineer retired after Charles had fired the shot and ordered him to leave the car, and Charles was not molested further.
 Charles tells this story himself but it is not disputed by the robbers or the cowardly engineer, So it may be al- lowed to stand. It is as good story as was ever told in a dime novel and 1t shows that Charles is a fit man to have charge of an express car in re- zion where there is more material for dime novels than is ever likely to be ,caG

A BLUE JAY.

Last Decoration day I was walking
 along a wooded hillside, when my eye
 was attracted by a bit of bright blue
 color amongst the branches of a cedar
 tree. Another look, and I saw that it
 was blue jay, sitting on her nest a compactly built structure made of fine roots. and resting in a crotch about l twelve feet from the ground, She sat | perfectly still until I was close beside i her. and then she slipped away quietly amongst the trees. That is usually the | way with blue jays; they are about | the noisiest birds we have at all other times of the year. but when they are nesting. they seldom mention the fact to any one. In the nest were six olive green eggs. closely spotted with cinna-
 mon brown. Four of the eggs were al- ready chipped; they were on the point of matching.
 Two weeks later I went to visit the
 nest again, and while still a long way
 off. I could hear a great commotion
 amongst the birds. It was just about time for the little jays to leave the nest and there would naturally be a
 
 culiar vehemence of their cries indicat- ed that the cause was something much more serious On approaching the scene of the trouble, I saw the parent blue jays flying back and forth, as though distracted. A pair of brown thrashes had even more to say for themselves than the jays had, while perfect mob of catbirds, thrushes, vir- eos. yellow warbers and downy wood- peckers were lowering apout, mingling their voices in any angry chorus. The center of excitement was clump of bayberry bushes, and there in the shad- ow. erouched a large black-and- white cat with a fluttering young blue Jay in her mouth. Seeing that she was dis covered. she bounded away, but dead stick which I sent after her had the desired effect of causing her to drop her victim. The latter fluttered away for few wards but he was evidently badly hurt. and presently lay, quite still in the grass. I picked him up, and discovered that not only had his skin been punctured in several places by the cats teeth, but that his left leg had been broken near the foot. My first impulse was to put the little fel- low out of misery, but when I looked again at his bright eyes and intelligent face. it seemed a pity to kill him, and I decided to give him a chance for his life. That night, with the assistance of a friend, I set the broken leg. We made a splint of cardboard and bound | 1t to the limb with strips of tissue pa- per soaked in white of egg. In few minutes the albumen was dry and hard, ! and made the splint perfectly rigid.
 For the first day or two, it was very | difficult to feed the bird, and I had to | resort to the expedient of opening his | mouth and forcing food down his throat At last got him to open his

 It is not denied at the war depart ment that there has been some friction between the civil and the military gov ernment, nor is it surprising. But many of the cases which this corre- spondent outlines are of seeming fric- ton rather than real. In regard to the carriages for civil officers, attention is called to the fact that before July 1 the military governor and the civil gov ernor was the same person; but when the Taft commission went into power it naturally was expected to provide it's own carriages as 1t could easily do out of the insular funds, or go without. General Corbin repor that the mi itary government turned 1000 ponies over to the civil administration at. that time, because these had been purchased out of the civil funds and so belonged to that administration.

| There is a good deal of money in Eng land and there are some large incomes

 .s10,0O0 and e5O,O0O 4O3 persons and 1,0S5 firms have incomes between e5,000 and G10,000; 2016 persons and 5,42S firms have incomes between G2,000 and
 e5,000, while 5,392 persons and 7,253 firms are estimated as having incomes between e1,oOo and e2,oO0 The total number of persons assessed with in- comes of over a1O00 Is 79S6, and the gross amount of income assessed for this class Is G21O1S, 990. Of those indi- viduals who have an income less than e1,00o, 340,425 have to pay a tax on gross assessment of E76,390,T30. This would mean an average of about G225 as the income of the great class who have less than BLOOD per year, or about G2S0 as the annual income of all those assessed for a tax.
 Probably there are more large in- comes in this country than in England, but as there is much tax lodging and tries it is difficult to tell what the real state of things Is.
