A Craze Social Problem.

A Chicago pickaninny who was
brought into the juvenile court of
Chicago the other day stated in
one sentence problem which is
one of the gravest in our stem
of dealing with criminals, incipient
and mature. He -yas eight years
old, very black, and so small that
he had to be set up on desk TO
be seen. The court had under con-
sideration the proposition Of send
! ing him to a reformatory institu-
ton. He said:
EFF you send me to dat dab
place you'll ruin me foh life. Is
| goin' ter be a man some day, and
! won't be able to get no job if
people knows l was sent down.
Irrespective of the right or
wrong of this particular case, it is
a fact, and a very disturbing fact,
that while children who have been
in reformatory institutions GER
tainly need work to keep them
from becoming recruits to the
criminal classes, it is about five
times as hard for them to get il
as it would be for youths who have
not had that experience. The pub,
lie is no doubt partly justified in
its reluctance to employ the boys
and girls who are known to have
spent half their young lives in
reform school. \ girl of fourteen
or fifteen, for example, has few oc-
equations open to her when she
leaves the school, save those in
some way connected with domes-
| tic service. The women who en-
| ploy many servants do not care to
undertake the expense of training
her; and she is thus reduced to
the chance of general housework
or the care of children in a house
where but one servant is kept.
The mother of children may be ex-
cused for not caring to take into
her house. or bring into close con
tact with her little ones, n girl of
whom she knows nothing that is
positively good. 1t seems as if
work might be provided for these
children which would not place
them in private families as de
pendents and paupers, but put
them on an independent basis.
But this has not been done so far.

Got What He Wanted.

Senator Carmack of Tennessee is one
of the great lovers of plug tobacco in the
upper house. 1t is very seldom that he
has not a large plug of his favorite kind
on hand. Recently, however he found
himself destitute, and at a time when he
felt it impossible to leave the Senate
chamber. He was listening with nearly
every other Democratic member of the
Senate, and with large number of Re
publicsns, to the very interesting speech
of Senator Vest, on the ship subsidy bill.
He gotioned TO page, and held =
whispered consultation with the boy. who
did not seem to understand his request
at first. Alter little, the boy skirted
the chamber from Mr.. Carmack's seat in
the extreme rear on the centre aisle to
Mr. Dubois seat and repeated the mes
sage that Mr.. Carmack had given him.
Mr. Dubois grew red for a moment but
Mr. Carmack did not have to leave the
chamber during Mr.. Vests speech.

Mr.. German In the Senate.

Senator-elect German was on the floor
of the Senate for half an hour yesterday.
He sat in the front row of the Democratic
side of the chamber, and a number of his
friends, both Republicans and Democrats,
exchanged greetings with him. Senator
Gallinger chatted with him for several
minutes.
Mr.. German listened with a smiling
face to the rather ludicrous discussion be-
tween Senators Allison and Foraker on
the Hawaiian coinage bill, and there were
indications that he would have been
pleased to join in the talk.

Wing Shot Murphy's Story.

The most expert wing shot in America,
ii not in the world Mr.. Edgar Gibbs Muir
ply. of New York, stood in the lobby OF
the Raleigh conversing with friends last
evening.
Mr.. Murphy isn't vainglorious over his
skill. and is not at all given TO boasting
about his many triumphs with the gun.
1t was interesting to hear him tell how he
lost the Grand Prix. in the greatest con-
test in the history Of such events in
Paris, last year. He lost in way that
was extremely tantalizing, for the victor,
Mcintosh. of Australia, beat him out by
the narrow margin of single bird.
There were 2i9 contestants said Mr..
Murphy 'and the shoot took up FIVE days.
Every civilized country on earth had its
representatives there being three other
Americans besides myself. On the fifth
and last day. but fourteen out of the whole
number we're left, for fast as a miss
was scored the man dropped out. Finally
there were only two left, the Australian
and l. He beat me then, not through my
failure to hit, but because my bird drop
ped dead outside the boundary. A slight
puff of wind might have caused it to fall
inside Here was the greatest match on
earth lost by the slightest margin.
Il was cheered by vast army of my
countrymen sojourning in Paris, and
bowed and smiled but the latter must
have been sickly effort, for friend who
observed it, said to me later. l saw that
smile Murphy. but will bet you 800 to
a nickel that it wasn't on the level

Senator Frye's Vaccinated Arm.

Senator Frye is suffering from the ef-
feet Of the prevailing malady-sore arm.
As he stood in the centre aisle of the
Senate defending the shipping bill and
answering a volley of questions from half
a dozen of his friends and opponents, on
two or three occasions he raised his arm
TO make gesture, but he always quickly
lowered it.
Finally some one jostled against him and
his trouble became apparent. His Ian
guage was entirely parliamentary, but he
mentioned the fact that he had been vac
cinated recently with much feeling.

Speeches and Information.

Under this agreement for a vote sew
eral long speeches are delivered and the
vote is taken without the Senate having
information in regard TO the bill that is
voted upon" said Senator Allison a few
days ago when he was discussing the
ship subsidy bill.
Does the Senator mean to charge that
there Is no information conveyed by the
long speeches which have been made?"
enquired Senator Depew, who was sitting
directly in front of Mr. Allison. and who
made the query without rising.
Not at ALL responded Senator ALI
son, who looked around for his in;errog-
ator. and appeared to take the question
seriously, but when he saw Chauncey
Depew's face wreathed in smiles he let
the query pass. Mr.. Depew had long
speech in store himself.

suggests Buying Out the Beers.

The hest thing England could do, even
granting her uit!mate triumph, woul' be
to buy out the Beers" said Mr. Douglas
Robinson at the Arlington, last evening
This war in South Africa shows no
sign of speedy termination. The Beers
will keep up the struggle until they are
exterminated. The cost to England OF
conducting the war is something enor-
nous. 1t would be far cheaper. putting
the question on commercial grounds, for
Great Britain to pay the Beers hand
some sum and thereby give them means
enough to start life anew in some other
quarter of the world"
Il. would be no bad idea, il some such
policy could be carried out, to encourage
their migration to the United States. We
have plenty of cheap land in the West
that they could settle on and make
homes under favorable conditi7 = They
are used 10 a simple agricultural lIIe, and
in the United States there would never be
the remotest chance OF the friction and
strife that have thrown such deep and
lasting cloud on their recent history

The Hero of San Jacinto.

Col. Andrew Jackson Houston, of Beau
mont, Tex. was seen at the Fairfax last
evening. He is a son of the illustrious
Gen. Sam Houston. who, as command
crushing defeat to the hordes of Mexico
on the historic battlefield of San Jacinto.
Colonel Houston is tall, light haired,
blue-eyed. and looks something like the
portraits of his distinguished sire. He
called to pay his respects to Hon. Galusha
Grow Of Pennsylvania, who knew Gen
eral Houston intimately in the old ante
bellum days, when both were in Congress
Speaking of the hero of San Jacinto, Mr.
Grow said: The lapse of years makes
HoustOn's fame brighter, and history can
record but few greater names. In free
ing Texas from the despotism and tyranny
of Mexico he deserves to be classed
among the great liberators of the world.
He belonged to the sturdy, unconquerable
type of the pioneer stock of America. His
life reads like romance. After all that
be done for Tess because he opposed
secession he was dePosed from the suber-
ma ,oriaI office by the hotbloods who IA
vored disunion. Il was a poor return for
his magnificent services, but after the
passions and prejudices OF that unhappy
erG. died away his people We're sorry
enough over his i'll treatment To-day his
name is mentioned only in terms of love
and respect throughout that vast domain
that he was the chief agent in rescuing
from bondage and oppression.

Condemns Boston Strikers.

The Boston strike iii not. in my
opinion. be OF very great Duration" said
Nj. Alfred Winsor. leading business
man of the Hub at the New Willard.
My reason for this assertion is that
the strikers are undertaking to carry
things in a too high-handed style. l be-
lieve in the right of laboring men TO or
ganize and pull together in every lcgiti
mate way. Any man who thinks he isn't
getting enough wages or is not being
treated fairly by his employer has the
right to cease work. What l do deny is
the right of any union or organization to
say TO me that l cannot employ LABOR Of
q certain kind.
IF this right be denied. then there is
an end of all freedom and personal lib
erty. II a union can dictate so as to ex-
cIude any man from laboring whc does
not happen to be in the organization, then
the employer is helpless. II takes away
from him the power of running his own
business. Such 4 result will not iii my
opinion, be tolerated in free country
