Society in Ohio for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals, in order to in
spire the little folk with love of
dumb animals, offered prizes for the
best essays on the subject written by
school children. reports the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. One little girl turned in
q paper so learned and profound as to
surprise the committee of awards, and
the members decided that it was unfair
to give her first prize unless a yiva-voce
examination should disclose her as
capable Of having written the essay
The first question was: "Why is it
cruel to dock horses tails and trim
dogs ears?" Because" she answered
without seconds hesitation, what
God hath joined together let no man
| put asunder." Thus do we get a bibIi,
cal injunction for very noteworthy
sSiorin. II

A New Air for "America.

We have been favored with copy
of new arrangement of the Ameri-
can National Song "America," writ
ten by Prof. John Thaler of Calmar.
There is no better, no more patriotic
poem than the one composed by DR..
Smith. "My Country TITS of Thee, /"
but it is sung to the air which En-
gland and other countries have adopt
ed as their National air, and to reme-
dy this defect, Mr.. Thaler has written
a new one, simple as every National
air should be, so as to be comprehen-
sible by the masses. 1t is arranged in
a quartette and begins in unison
character Of boldness and strength;
it further develops in climax OF
grand harmony; then drops to a swee,
repose Of meditation and sadness, fol
lowed by final climax of triumph
and harmony.
Copies Of this new arrangementmay
be had Of the author for 10c. each
and we are sure purchasers will be
pleased with it.

NAVAL ENGINEERS ELATED.
Experiments with Oil az Fuel on
Warships Prove That 1t Can BE
successfully Used.

Naval engineers are elated over the
results of the liquid fuel experiments
on board of the Pacific ocean steam.
er Mariposa. Some time ago Lieut..
w. P. Winchue, passed assistant en-.
gineer, was detailed to take o trip
of several thousand miles with the,
Mariposa, the object being to ac-
quire technical information bearing
upon the use of oil as substitute
for coal on board ships Of war. The
Importance of the experiment has
been increased recently by the scare
ity Of coal, and it is expected that
Lieut.. Winchue's report will indie
cate the possibility of using liquid
fuel with the same results attainedl
with coal. '.
In the meantime experiments are,
being conducted in Washington at an
elaborate plant, equipped with boil
ers, a board of naval officers has been
detailed to conduct these local ex-
periments. It has already been found
that results of most promising
character are assured. There has
been much difficulty, however, in obs
tanning oil. Some sources Of supply,
notably those in Texas, have not
been regular, and the price OF tho
material has greatly increased. 4,

NEW YoRK,s CITY HALL.
More Than $780, 900 to he Expended
In Making Extensive Alterations
In the Building.

The municipal art commission has
approved plans for alterations in New
York's city hall which will very much
change the appearance of this we'll
known downtown building. The plans
call for an expenditure OF more than
$250,OOO. In the basement several
small offices under the main entrance
will be made into one for large mar
riage bureau. On the main floor the
rotunda and corridors will be repaired
and the stone work renovated. In the
mayors Office various doors and pas
sages that are of little use will be torn
out. The gaudy wall paper and cell
ing in the mayors Office will be re-
moved and white enamel ceiling and
walls will be substituted, bringing
back the appearance of the building
as near as possible to the original
colonial style. The hangings and fur
nishings of the rooms will be in har-
mony with the decorations.
On the second floor the walls and
decorations in President Cantor's of
noes will be treated similarly to those
OF the mayors office. White enamel
decorations will be used in all cases,
and in every way possible the colonial
appearance of the original building
| will be revived. Partitions will be
removed, making spacious room
which can be used for receptions and
hearings, at which the borough presi
dent would preside.

A recent novel represents sweet
and gracious girl as concealing the ex-
a, .....,. istence of will, in
order that she may
Du nfe" herself inherit an
estate, and thns provide for sick and
dependent mother. The author ex-
poets us to agree that the GIRLS good
girl, and that the generous impulse
justities itself in spite of the crime. 1t
is testimony to the healthy change
of public sentiment in the last hun
dred years, says Youths Compan-
ion, that reviewers and readers refuse
to accept the authors dictum in the
matter. When man does that sort of
thing, we call him scoundrel. Why
not woman? The defaulting bank
cashier, who gave the proceeds of his
first theft to the support of foreign
missions, went, and deserved to go, to
state prison, in spite of his religious
impulse. Education is doing notable
work for women in inducing them to
assume certain burdens which hitherto
many of them had not deemed obliga-
tory. That which men call business
honor is one of these burdens. 1t is .
responsible possession. 1t requires
eternal vigilance. But it is worth hav-
ing and keeping, for women as for
| men.

the evidence was against the proposition
that the vessels could be built or operated
In this country as cheaply as they could
De Quilt and operated abroad. In proof OF
the greater cost OF ships constructed in
America, Mr.. Foraker read a letter from
president Baker. of the Atlantic transpor-
tation line, showing that the contract price
for two ships built for the company at
Belfast. Ireland, was 500. GOO while the
cost OF two ships identically the same in
CONSTRUCTION built at Camden, y. j.. was
4-SSO.O0o- Mr.. Foraker asserted that the
international Navigation Company, the
American line, had made no money by
carrying the mails under the postal subsidy
act, and did not care for renewal Of the
contract. The proposed legislation he said,
was such as would enable the United States
TO build and operate ships and fly the flag
Of the merchant marine in every port of
the world.
Both Mr.. McLaurin and Mr.. Harris op-
posed the measure on the ground that in
their judgment ii was not constitutional.
They maintained that il was class legisla-
ton, which amounted TO little short of
robbery of the people for the benefit of a
few ship owners. Mr.. Harris made the
point that the United States now was pay
ing more 70 the American line for the
carrying of ocean mails than was paid to
foreign ships for greater service.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Harriss re-
marks the Senate. at 4:90 went into eX-
ecutive session and at sos adjourned.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL DEBATE.


WASHINGTON, March 14-Throughout
the session of the Senate to-day the ship
subsidy bill was under consideration The
measure was discussed by Mr.. Foraker,
Mr.. McLaurin, of Mississippi and Mr.. Har-
ris, of Kansas. Mr.. Foraker supported the
bill, although he admitted he would have
preferred to have built UP the merchant
marine by the levying of discriminating
duties. He was willing. however, to defer
to the judgment OF the majority that the
pending measure embodied the better plan.
In response to an inquiry by Mr.. Teller,
of Colorado, Mr.. Foraker replied that he
believed majority OF the Republican SEN
atOrs were opposed TO the policy of dis
eliminating duties.
Notwithstanding the Republican plat
form or 1876, suggested Mr. Teller
Mr.. Foraker replied that he had been the
chairman of the platform committee of 1896
He was 50 constituted, he said. that he had
TO have views OF his own. He was particu-
larry contentious i'm 1896 about his views
10 discriminating duties. but what he
wanted most was a restoration OF the mer-
chant marine. II he could not get ma
jority OF Congress 10 join in his views he
was willing 10 adopt the views Of the ma
Jority.
Referring to the purported purchase of
foreign steamship lines Mr.. Foraker said
by some 1t had been mentioned as IL IL were
a crime. The fact was that II any offense
detrimental TO the country had been COM
mitted il had been committed by the Senate
itself Mr.. -dorgan. he said, had pur-
chased the Leyland line in May. 1901. after
Congress had had under consideration for
two years the subsidy bill, which failed or
passage in the last Congress. After that
bin had failed the last hope OF Mr.. Morgan
and his associates had fallen 10 the ground.
The inaction OF the Senate had forced them
10 look elsewhere for the ships they needed.
They had gone abroad 10 spend their mil
lions Tor ships instead OF spending them In
the shipyards and among the laboring men
OF this country
AS TO the relative cost OF building and
operating ships under the American nag
Mr.. Foraker said the preponderance OF
