CHILDREN AND PAPERS.

In a recent article in a current mag azine there is a protest against the newspaper reading child. Tt is a de- plorable fact that of late years a num- Der of excellent magazines for chil. dren have been discontinued" says the writer, who goes on to show that the vogue of the newspaper has shortened the term of childhood and made it inn possible to maintain juvenile periodi- calls.
 It is impossible to prevent n boy or girl from learning the facts of life. They come, prematurely perhaps, in q hundred different ways outside the columns of newspaper. Much pre- mature knowledge is gathered at school. The streets, the theaters, the public conyeyances--all furnish sights and scenes that reveal much to the inquiring youthful mind. While it is to be regretted that the accounts of crimes and murders must be printed. these are actualitieS that cannot be ignored. The child that Is old enough to read about what is happening Tn the world is old enough to begin to understand something of the many sided phases of humanity The ephe- neral contents of the daily paper pre- sent much that is instructive. Indeed, in some schools the lessons in current events are as important as any on the list of regular studies. Contempora- neous history. rightly read. Is not less instructive than that which deals with ancient and medieval times
 Instead of forbidding children to read newspapers, parents should choose the best journals and teach their children to read about matters of general interest Critics may sound the alarm. but it is vain to pre- vent the newspaper reading child from existing. Since he has been evolved, it is well to respect his exist ,ence and to supply him with the best intellectual food for his twentieth cen tury mind.-M Milwaukee Sentinel.

Three Important Investigations.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-The Record Her aid today says: "The interstate com merce commission will begin series of three Investigations in Chicago next Tuesday which are said to have for their purpose the gathering of data for a special message by President Roosevelt to congress. It is said that in this special message President Roosevelt will deal with three sub- jects, as follows: Railway combina- tions, the interstate commerce commis ton and legislation governing inter- state traffic. Originally it was the purpose of the president to cover those subjects fully in his annual message to congress, but owing to the inability of the interstate commerce commission to get all the facts necessary these subjects were touched upon but brief ly and were left to be handled in a supplementary message"

Eiaheries Report Shows Falling Oh
 In Important Industry.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-An increase of over 9,OOO,OO0 ill the fish and fisher les eggs distribute@ by the government throughout the country and marked decline in lobster fishing are shown in the annual report of United States Commissioner of Fisheries Bowers for the last fiscal year.
 The total fish and eggs distributed were HTS, ,S33, 400, the principal spe- cies being shad, salmon, lake trout, whiteish, pike, perch, lake herring, cod, fiatfish and Holsters. In addition to the regular work on the great lakes plans were matured to begin the prop agation of lake herring there. The col lection Of lake trout eggs in Lakes Su- perior and Michigan, which nearly doubled that of last year, aggregated 224, ,000,000 from which 19,OOO.OOO Try were matched. The report says the can vass of the great lakes had been taken up only in 1899, when the yield and value were nearly equal to those or 1890, the largest on record. The total yield was 113, ,72S,OO0 pounds, worth $2,611, 400. There were 9,67S persons employed in the fisheries, and $6,617,- poo was invested.
 It becomes each year more difficult to secure lobster eggs along the coast of New England. The continued steady decline of this important fishing indus try renders it the more important ef- forts should be made to re-establish it by artificial propagation. The decrease Is most noticeable south of Cape Cod. During the year there were matched and planted in New England waters 202, ,S70 900 cod, A4.0Oo,O0O fatfsh and 50, ,00O. GOO Holsters.
 In recent years the fisheries of the Mississippi and its tributaries have de yeloped to such a degree that in 1893 they exceeded in quantity and nearly equaled in value the entire yield of the remaining interior waters of the Unit ed States except the great lakes. Mus sel shells, extensively used in the man. ufacture of pearl buttons, were valu- able item, some 45.5O0,0O0 pounds be- ing gathered, for which the fishermen obtained S247 100000

TREASURE ISLAND"

Elmer E. Vance's fine scenic melo drama, "Treasure lsland," is being played at Polls this afternoon, and wlll have another presentation this evening. The production fairly teens with realism, one scene i'll particular being an extraordinary one, where a sailing vessel lying at anchor off Treasure Island encounters fearful gale. The big ship Is cast on the crest of the giant waves. the sails are torn to shreds by the whistling winds, and it is decidedly weird in its vivid real ism. To produce this effect Manager Vance carries, for the first time with in the history of the drama, special stage from city to city, to be used at every performance of Treasure Island" It is an ingenious interlock- ing sectional stage, BOX 34 feet, Mir Vanee's one invention on which he has secured patent. He also uses a beau tiful panorama of Treasure Island, 500 feet in length and twenty-five feet high. To produce the wind on the sails he uses a blower of 5000 pounds pressure. worked by powerful motor. carried along for this scene. The won. derful barricade scene and battle with broadswords, finishing in hand to hand conflict between the crew and pirates. is another wonderfully real istic climax. The company is excep- tionally strong. Prices are 9, 35 and 50 cents.

EXCITING LEXINGTON RUNAWAY.

leo, Tenn, who is visiting her parents
Major and Mrs. Finley w. Houston. at
Clifton" their home, in the eastern vi
cinity of Lexington, had a narrow escape
from death by a runaway horse Tuesday
morning. Mrs. Davis was at the Lex

a number of flags to be used to deco
rate the cemetery in honor of the Grand
Division Of the Daughters Of the Con-
federacy, which begins a three-days' SEES
sion here to-day in the Lee Memorial
chapel, at Washington and Lee Univer-
sity. Another buggy also with nags in
it. passed, and this vehicle frightened
Mrs. Davis horse and caused it to run
away. The bit broke and the bride slip
ped of the animals head and left it free
to run as it might please. Down Main
street the horse dashed with the brave
young woman handling the now useless
rens as though nothing were wrong.
Never for an instant did she lose her
drivers plight and danger, but could
do nothing. A negro from the Natural
Bridge. named Russell Stuart, sprang IN
front Of the horse only to be hurled aside
by the maddened animal. His leg was
cut and his trousers torn.
Near the First National Bank build
ing a student of Washington and Lee
University, A. Frederick White, of Lew
isburg, w Va, sprang at the horses
head and failed in his endeavors to make
a tackle. He then mounted the buggy
from the rear and seized the useless reins.
BY this time Kirby Snider, q young man,
made flying leap and grasped the horse
by the nostrls and William S. Hileman
also secured a grip on the horses name
from the opposite side. Thus the ami
nal was brought to a sudden standsull.
Without ever for moment losing her

ron thanked her rescuers. and asked sool-

route of the runaway. Not until she
