HELP along the Anti-Cigarette
League all you can. It is good thing
for the boys of the city and some of
the "children of a larger growth"
might profit by it's teachings. Every
parent in the city who has boy grow
ing up ought to encourage him to join
the league. It can do him no harm
and it may do him much good. If a
certain few Of the boys can be inter
ested in the movement the thing is as
good as done. The "Court of Boy
vil1e' is ruled absolutely by certain
leaders, and if these chief priests and
elders can place cigarette smoking on
the list of ''things no fellow can do"
the boy who smokes will lose caste
among his fellows, and that is some
thing no right minded boy can endure
for a moment. If the leaders of the
younger generation once decide that
smoking shall stop, they will put an
end to the practice quickly and effect

this kind than all the admonitions of
parents and guardians or the warnings
of physicians or teachers.

THE ground taken by President
Baer, of the Reading, that the public
had no rights in the coal strike that
either party to the controversy was
bound to respect, and that the interfer-
ence of President Roosevelt IN the af-
fairs of the operators and miners was
wholly unwarranted is vulnerable.
That the public has certain rights IN
all public service corporations and IN
the management of every business
whose methods of operation directly
affect the general welfare there can be
no doubt. The legal right of the peo-
pie to a certain control in all matters
directly affecting them is no new prin-
ciple of law either. It is almost as old
and as we'll established as the law it.

Chief Justice Waite, of the United

''when private property is affected
with a public interest it ceases to be
the subject of private rights only"

was said by Lord Chief Justice Hale
more than 200 years ago and has been
accepted without objection as an es-
sentia1 element in the law of property
ever since"

Little Marguerite Ann Ruff Meets a
Horrible Death While Playing
About a Bonfire.
DEATH CAUSES INTENSE SORROW.
Little Child Was a General FavoFite In the
Community and Her Sad Fate Has
Touched All Heart.

A black pail of sorrow hangs over
that little section about the brick
yards just south of the city today on
account of the death of little golden
haired girl, little Marguerite Ann Rutf,
the four-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Ruff. The little girl died
at three O'Clock this morning from the
results of burns received while playing
about bonfire with number Of her
companions Monday afternoon. The
child was a general favorite in the COM
ratsnity and her death has caused great
sorrow. The little boys and girls of
the community are away from school
today and lingering about the house
where their play lies fast asleep.
The accident, which resulted in the
death of the child, occurred at three
o'clock Monday afternoon. Not old
enough to go to school the little girl
had become lonely and with the con-
sent of her mother she had gone out
on the street to play with two other
children of the neighborhood. A boy
who had been with the girl decided to
start bonfire and while the children
were playing about the fire little Mar
guerite walked too close to the burn
ing paper and leaves and her clothing
caught fire.
The children ran in terror from the
FIRE and the wind only famed the
flames into fury and IN moment the
skirt of the child was ablaze. Mrs.
William Barns, who lives near the
scene of the accident noticed the child
but before aid could be secured the
flames had the clothing burned from
the limbs of the child and they were
black aud charred.
With tender hands little Marguerite
was carried to her home and DR..
George Pugh was called to attend her.
The child suffered almost inhuman
pain for half an hour before the doc
tors could give her something to in
duce sleep and a1lay the suffering. All
night long she fingered between life
and death and this morning just after
three O'Clock death came and released
her from her suferings.
The parents of the child and her ten
little brothers and sisters are almost
Frustrated by the terrible accident.
Little Marguerite was four years and
six months of age and an unusually
bright and attractive child.
The funeral services will be held
from St. James church on Thursday
afternoon and the remains will be bur-
led at st. James cemetery.
It is strange coincidence that lit
tie child of Charles Lilly was burned
to death in the same house some six
years ago.
