MIDSUMMER CHARITY

It IS well TO remember that, III sum
mer as well as in winter, the poor we
have always with us. There seems to
exist a general impression that there
Is not as much need for the distribu-
ton Of charity when humanity swell
ters as when it shivers- No more mis-
taken idea could possibly be enter
tanned While It Is true, perhaps,
that there Is not as much actual suf-
fering among the poorer classes. es-
peciaIIy among the adult, because the
temperature Is less severe than when
the ehills of winter are upon Us, it Is
none the less a fact that the poor man
or woman who has 10 look ont for the
wants of a family has probably a
harder time Of II at this season than
IN the months when 1t takes fuel to
keep warm.
The statements In The Times from
Mr.. Charles Frederick Weller, gen
eral secretary Of the Associated
Charities, contains angle material for
reflection. and ought to act as a stimu-
liant to action to the eharitably IN
cined. The means for earning a live

approach of warm weather whose ne
eessities furnish employment to the
poor. The loss of income oceasioned
by the closing Of this avenue alone Is
very considerable. Then, agar. sum
mer brings with it q good deal of SEX
ness among children, and this falls
with mucu --1afcr severity upon the

IN the directions briefly indicated
above there Is a wide field for the ex-
ereise of discriminate charity. If
nothing else, there should be an ice

ings and discomforts of those to
whom an adequate supply Of these ar
tides Is a luxury Of which they are
only too frequently deprived. But
there are also other avenues In which
charity can be dispensed to great ad-
vantage at this time, and all thus IN

N New York

A police captain who was dismissed
from the force this week, was respon-
sible for many amusing stories based
on his use--or misuse-of words. Once
he asserted that he "never paid any
attention to unanimous letters On
another occasion he is said to have
referred to his possession of vera
cioas" appetite. Third Avenue, he told
a man enc day, "runs paralized to
Lexington Avenue" At another time,
one story goes, he was reading to an
outgoing platoon a list of some clothing
that had been reported stolen One
item was a Kersey coat. Next on
the list of men," he announced, in his
rich brogue, is a kerosene coat" 1t
was this captain who directed a pa
trolman to open a window in the sta
tion-house and "putrefy the air."
1t was not this captain, but Ser
geant now dead, who, while testifying
in trial at Police Headquarters, asked
permission of the Commissioner to cor
rect his testimony, saying:
'Mr- Commissioner, l wish to retrac
the veracity of my former statement.

because the saving, both nomin-
al and actual, would be great. But Of
course, such proposal had no strength
in Congress. The cheerful optimists,
who habitually eulogize everything that
the Government does as superior to the
work of the hardhearted business manag
er, got the floor and carried the day.
Mr.. Hopkins's friends in Illinois are
defending him against the charge that
his proposal vas against the unions in
it's indirect bearing by quoting his
remark on the floor that mo rat ojflce"
in the country would be able to do the
work, SO that the choice was between
union men inside and union men outside
of the Government service. He would
have not been SO reckless, of course, as
to suggest that non-union men had any
American rights in seeking such indus
trial opportunities as the Government
work affords.

Spending Two and a Half Millions
on a Building Only Large Enough

The new Government Printing Office
at Washington now nearing completion,
although it has seven acres of floor space
will be only large enough for the current
work Of the Government, and does not
make any substantial allowance for futu-
re growth Yet the structure is so large
that it has consumed in its erection
IA,ooo,ooo pounds of steel, one-seventh
as much cast iron, and $4,000 barrels OF
Portland cement. The doors have been
made of an asbestos composition, the
door and window frames of iron, aud
the whole structure is as near fireproof
as it was possible to make it. The
cost, when it is completed, will be about
$24oo,ooo.
The first public printer was appoint
ed under a law passed in 1852. His
salary was only $4,000, and the oI1ice
had been in operation ten years before
its employees numbered 800. To-day
more than 1900 persons draw salaries
at the Government printing office, and
at the present rate Of increase it is fair
to assume that 10000 will be employed
by 1912. The book bindery alone en-
ploys 900 persons. There are 1900
compositors.
Singularly, the work of the Govern
ment printing office is figuring in the
Illinois Senatorial campaign in way
that is suggestive. The labor unions
have been instigated to oppose Mr.
Hopkins because, as Chairman of the
Census Committee, he tried to have the
census printing done by the government

The drop in cotton prices, of course.
IS likely to be only temporary. for
though the latest crop of 1O,417 900
bales is larger than had been expected
by the average operator, the differ

permanent decline in prices. The

The tools in the Biggs Oil well in
Archuleta county have been lost at
the depth of $3.50 feet This deplor-
able accident happened last week and
was caused by casing. The drill was
just entering what is believed to be
the oil-bearing sands, and owing to
caving IL was found necessary to put
in casing. and near the bottom in some
manner. the cable was cut clean and
slick and it looks as though it will be
an impossibility to fish the drill out
Certainly the oil enterprises of Ar
chuleta county have received every
kind of a setback, the same as in Du-
range. The Biggs people were among
the FIRST to sink wells and were down
/ 600 feet when the tools were lost
and could not be recovered. The men
back of the enterprise were determin-
ed, however, to ascertain the true
situation and started new well
which was down as above. and every
indication pointed to oil-bearing
sands, having reached about the
point indicated by Prof. Lakes in his
oil reports. This entire southwest
will be sorry to learn this, as many
enterprises were awaiting the result
OF the Biggs well. AS matters now
stand the work on both wells is an
entire loss with no definite knowledge
as to what pregnates the sand strata

st. Paul. Mimi, Oct. 15.--Arch
hiehcp Ircl-nI has received a letter
from the Rev. W lillian MacKinno1.
of Manila, who died before his letter

Kinnon was martyr to his own zeal
and loyalty to duty. Exhausted from
devoted attendance upon the cholera
patients in the recent epidemic III
Manila, he at length fell victim tc

Father MacKinnon had the conf.
dence and esteem Of all classes in
the church and state in the Philip

prcciatcd by all here. l enclose q

day, by Coal Strike Develop
rnents, Monday Night.

New York. Oct. 15.-The overnight
developments in the coal strike situ-
alton aroused a cheerful sentiment
in Wall street yesterday, and the opin-
ion was expressed that the matters
at issue we're in fair way of adjust
ment. The monetary situation was
momentarily lost sight of in the OPP
timistic feeling that prevailed at the
opening, and stocks were eagerly
bought at advances Of from / to
points over Mnday's final prices. Re-
cent speculative favorites in which
the pool liquidation had been heavi-
est were most IN demand, especially
the coalers ind trans-continental
stocks. Individual orders for blocks
Of from LOCO to 1000 shares were
taken at advancing prices and trad
ing was in enormous volume through.
out. The readiness with which price1
responded TO the good news, COM
bined with the appearance of London
as a heavy buyer. encouraged the
bull interests to renewed efforts In
driving the short interests to cover.
The inquiry embraced all classes OF
stocks, but the largest advances were
centered in the highest priced class.
Some comment was aroused over tho
fact that the active coalers did not
advance prOpcrtionately more than
other stocks, although the demand for
them was heavier than at other
points Early prices showed such Il
handsome profit 10 the traders who
bought early Monday in the semi
demoralized market that they COM
menced o~unload quickly. Commits
sion houses were well represented
in the early demand. but the volume
OF realizing sales soon exhausted their
orders, and prices reiapsed all around.
Before noon the opening substantial
advances had been pretty generally
reduced to a fraction and even cam
celled in some important stocks. The
downward movement CT prices was
accelerated by IL per cent call
money rate, which recalled TO mind
the fact that the monetary situation
had to be reckoned with IN an effort
to create a bull market. Dealings
then subsidized into merely nominal
proportions for long time, but there
was steadily increasing undercv-
rent OF strength, which culminated.in
a violent buying movement again in
the closing hour, which carried the
entire market to the best prices II
the day.

NOT TRUST MORGAN.
He Promised Miners Justice, if They
Would Return to Work.
Mitchell Refused.

Wilkesbarre, Oct. 15.-It developed
here last night that Nathan Straus,
Of New York, with the assistance o.
j. Pierpont Morgan, has been endeav-
oring for the past few days to end
the strike. Mr.. Straus was repre-
scented here by A. L. Kinkead. Sylves-
ter Burns and ". L. Wilmer. of New
York. Mr.. Strauss had received the
assurance from Mr.. Morgan that :.
the men would return to work thai
he (MT. Morgan) would see that jus
tice was done lie miners. but he did
not care to have anything TO do with
the union.
The proposition was laid before Mr.
Mitchell and he refused it on the
ground that he would not advise the
men to return to work On the hope
that Mr.. Morgan wuld do something
for them. The representatives OF
Mr.. Strauss received the final answer
yesterday and they gave out sthe In
formation last night.
