NOT A WISE PROCEEDING.

"The Pennsylvania Legislature
seems to think better of giving large
sums of money to institutions which
care for human wrecks than for Civ
ing money to institutions whose OBJ
iects are to teach humanity to take
care of itself. A wise proceeding. "
-Hawley Times.
If the editor of the Times express
es his convictions in the above
pointed paragraph we express ours
in saying that anyone who believes
it is of more importance to care for
physical wrecks than it is to teach
persons not to become such, should
follow the bent of his mind and be-
come a keeper in an inebriate or
ticasylum rather than a teacher
of youth. While itfs humanity and
a public duty to care for those who
are incapable. it is of vastly more
importance to the community to
teach youth those principles of tenn
peranoe, moderation and self re-
straint which viii save them from
becoming human wrecks. It is far
easier to bend the twie than to
straightsn the old gnarled oak, and
the wise husbandman shapes his
trees when they are young. A wise
legislature would try to do the same
for the youth OF the commonwealth.
An Old Scotch Judge, who had
been on the bench for over forty
years, said with regard to "A refractory
boy brought before him that the
proper course to adopt would have

Io A pEAp MlNsTREL.

Beside the naples mossy foot
The hermit thrush lies dead,
Among the white anemouies,
Like tapers round its bed.
Its downy breast Of dappled gray,
Its russet wings are still
Its velvet throat will never more
With heavenly music thrill.
At evenings golden afterglow
What happiness was mine
To hear from out the leafy choir
That evensong divine
SO pure and sweet that other sounds
Seemed hushed in silent prayer
The while that matchless melody
Filled all the listening air.
Sweet minstrel Of the twilight hour,
When purple shadows creep
Through dimly-llghted forest aisles
And flowers close In sleep-
Is there no land beyond the stars
Where we shall hear again
Thy hymn of perfect peace and joy
When life is free from pain2
Shall we alone. with sordid lives
Mlsspent and prone 10 sin,
or all Gods children be the few
Eternal life to win?
Each day you did the Fathers win
And praised Him with a psalm,
Whose peace fell on the troubled heart,
Like Gilead's healing balm.
And cannot He who made the suns
And sees the sparrow's fall
Provide a home so fair and large
That it will shelter all?

But the bear was at their heels, and
without hesitation, just as the craft
swung off the shore, the angry animal
sprang in at the stern. He made a
rush for the two men, who barely in
time escaped to the cabin and closed
and barred the door.

The cost of visit to the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo need
not deter those with even moderate
means. Some of the larger and more
fashionable hotels and boarding
houses have a very high scale of
prices, but there are innumerable re-
spectacle hotels aud houses where
the rates are very reasonable. A
comfortable room can be secured for
not over one dollar a night and
meals can be procured either with
in or without the exposition grounds
at usual rates. The cost per day, ex-
elusive Of course of transportation
to and from Buffalo, may be set down
as follows: Lodging 81 three meals
$3.50, admission so, incilentals so,
total $3.50, and by little economy
this might be considerably reduced.
A trip to the exposition would amply
repay the time and cost of a weeks
visit, and it would take that time to
see the sights with any degree OF
satisfaction.

The Tripper and the swing.
o the Editor of The EVENING Star.

The "tripper' and the Swing are terms
with which not many are familiar. But
they might with profit be more widely un-
derstood, as they indicate a method Of
grinding human beings down to sharp
edge. There Is one class Of people who
need no introduction to the "tripper' and
the Swing" These are large part Of the
electric railroad employees; they compre-
hend the terms thoroughly, as they are the
individuals who are being ground fine by
them The "tripper'' plan rs a cunning
modern method of getting the most service
possible out of q man, and giving him in
return hard work and the least possible
pay. 1t is part Of a system which takes
twelve hours or more out of mans day
and makes him work hard and unceasing-
ly and gives him two dollars for 1t. The
pleasant feature of the "tripper' process
Is that 1t uses a man when there Is tre-
mendous rush OF work. laying him off
when it siackens. paying him for the few
hours when the cars are overcrowded.
which in this way constitutes "a days work;
and for the work sometimes he gets as
low as thfrty-six cents, upon which he and
his family are supposed to live. These men
are called extras" 1t is the policy Of the
management to prevent the hiring Of two
men. each working nine hours day, and
both receiving two dollars. For when the
extra" gets through with his "tripper,"
having worked under hours and receiving
under pay, the regular man takes the car
and works over hours-thus the company
contrives to gain at the expense Of the
men.
The Swing is another modern invention
for making lives not worth living. 1t re-
quires q man to get to work at b o'clock
In the morning and work until half-past
II, noon then he stops and starts to work
again at 4. working until o'clock: or If
not starting and quitting at these hours at
others similar. The same man has seldom
the same hours and succeeding day; and
he works sometimes on three different
roads on one day. at any unexpected hour,
leaving him no knowledge Of when he can
sleep or eat, resulting frequently that he
has no sleep, and nothing to eat that day,
which has caused a great deal Of sickness
All Of this amounts to an outrage, and
should be remedied These men should
work nine hours a day, which is enough
for any manual work. and receive for it
two dollars. This would allow them to live
without sickening drudgery. And II the
railroads are unwilling to do plain duty
1t should be attended to at once by the
Commissioners. and II they cannot or will
not find q cure 1t should be taken before
Congress at the earliest moment. G. D.

SETTLING OLD CLAIMS.
Heirs of Charles w. BOteler, Jr., to
Receive Payments Due Estate.

Heirs of Charles w. BOteler, Jr., to
Receive Payments Due Estate.
Through inquiries made In this city for
the heirs Of Charles W. Boteler, jr., the
purpose Of c. N. Purvis Of Williamsport
Pa, trustee Of the estate OF Purvis & Com
pany Of Baltimore to pay off the indebted
ness Of that firm Is made known. Owing to
the fact that the obligations referred to
were incurred by failure of the Baltimore
firm, which occurred In 1858, the announce
ment that the entire indebtedness, amount
ing to $250OOO, will be paid of dollar for
dollar, without interest, is looked upon as
rather remarkable
In the crash which came to the Baltimore
firm was involved the New York brokerage
firm of Boteler & Ely. The senior member
of that firm was Charles w. Boteler, jr,
son of Charles w. Boteler. who conducted
O. china and glassware business In this
city. Mr.. Boteler, jr., was the president
of the old Merchants National Bank, 9th
and D streets. He went to New York in
1867 and put his money in a brokerage busi-
ness and lost 1t through the failure Of the
Purvis firm. He subsequently returned to
Washington and died here in 1870. His
brother, John w. Boteler, Is a resident of
this city.
The heirs Of Charles w. Boteler, Jr., are
Charles r. Boteler, Mrs. William H. Pentz
Of Baltimore and two children OF Mrs.
White. q daughter, deceased, whose hus-
band is also dead.
