SELLING CHILDREN LIQUOR.

THE FINE OF $50, imposed by Judge
L Diehl on the bartender who sold
a bottle of cheap wine to a small boy,
will doubtless have the effect of re-
minding other bartenders that there is
a law covering such cases. In recent
months it has been as easy for a mi
nor to purchase intoxicants as for
adults. Little or no attention has been
paid to the law. Children not tall
enough to reach to the top of the
bar counter have been allowed to buy
whisky, beer, wine, or anything else
they called for.
In the case which furnishes the basis
for these remarks, the attorney for
the defendant set up a plea in miti-
cation. He said his client didn't know
the boy who bought the wine intended
it for his own use. OF course he was
grievously shocked when he learned
subsequently, that the child had be-
come intoxicated, and that he had
caused other children to become intox-
icated.
Such an excuse is as bad as none,
or worse. The bartender had no right
to suppose anything with reference to
the sale Of intoxicants to minor. The
law specifically forbids it unless a
written order from parent or guardian
is presented, and it is distinctly not
the business of any bartender to in
terpret the law. The man who will
damn the soul and wreck the life Of
a child for a few miserable cents de-
matter what excuse he may offer for
his conduct.
Nor is the man who was convicted
by Judge Diehl the only bartender who
has been guilty of such practices. 1t
is not unusual for messenger boys of
tender years to drink to excess in vari-
GUS low saloons of Salt Lake City.
Up to date, with the exception of this
one case, no effort has been made to
secure the punishment of the offending
GROCERY keepers.
It should not be hard to run down a
number Of offenders. And The Herald
believes the assessment of a fine in
such cases as are clearly proven is al
together insufficient The license in
every instance should be revoked, and
the proper authorities should see to it
that the place is not reopened under
another name. If the selling of in
toxicants on Sunday is an offense of
sufficient gravity to warrant license rev.
ocatiOn. the sale of intoxicants to mi
nors is surely deserving OF similar pun
ishment.
Let US do what we can to protect the
boys OF the community, to protect
them from themselves and from the in
famous brutes who would ruin their
lives for money.

report more than 5000 lives were saved
by the men who man the nfeboats.
OF far less Importance from the ethi-
cal standpoint, but Of great value from
the material view, was the saving Of
property. During this one year prop
erty worth upwards of 81. 900. 900 was
saved from the seas, the lakes and the
rivers by the life saving crews.
The soldier and the sailor are brave
men who deserve wen at the hands
Of the country, but their calling is
tame and peaceful compared with that
Of the life saver. once in a great while
the soldier and the tar are called upon
to perform some hazardous duty They
face flying bullets and bursting shells
in battle, and they brave disease and
fatigue under burning skies. They are
necessary to the safety Of the republic
and The Herald would take no credit
from them that is their just due.
The life saver, however, is always in
peril. At any moment he may be called
to fight with a raging tempest for the
dearest Of all prizes, human life. The
man with the life line and the cockIs-
shell boat never knows what moment
may witness his exit from this world,
while the fighting men. know years with
out end of peace and safety. And the
injustice of the situation lies in the fact
that. the warriors are pensioned when
disabled or retired. and the preservers
of life are not.
They cannot look forward to an old
age free from want. for the govern
ment does not recognize their possible
need. The Herald would strongly favor
proposition to pension such life saw
ers as deserve such a reward. They
are entitled to it if any government
servant is, and the fact that the dis
elimination in favor of the soldiers and
sailors is made seems almost like. put
ting a premium on destructiveness and
a clog on the preservation of life.

are furnished in a report of the general
superintendent of the life saving de-
partment, which has just been made
public. The life savers. whose stations
are scattered along the American coast
lines and about its great lakes and
rivers, do their work SO quietly that
they gain little recognition. Yet their
employment is of the most hazardous
character and their remuneration
small.

AN ELOPEMENT.
Morgantown Boy Runs Away
With Fairmont Girl

Waitman Hartman the Hero of the
Incident and Miss Maud Cans the
HerOine-They Went to Oakland and
Were Married Objections of Par.
ents Fooled.
News has reached here of the
elopement of Morgantown boy
with Fairmont girl The young
man in question is very we'll known
here having been a clerk at Hirsch-
mans for long time. The special
telling of the elopement- is as fol
lows:
Mr. Wait Hartman, very well
known man of Morgantown, and
Miss Maude Cans, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs G.. g. Cans, of this place,
and very pupular young lady,
went to Oakland on an early train
on Sunday. Later in the day, Miss
Bessie Cans, sister Of the bride,
received the following telegram from
Mr.. Hartman--"We were married
at 7:35 this morning
The happy couple had been friends
for some time, but the family did
not wish their daughter to be mar
ried so young. The parents thought
that few years of schooling was
necessary and they had made ar
rangements for her to attend t well
known school. Mrs. Hartman was
much opposed to this, hence the
plan for the elopment.
Mr.. Hartman came to the city on
the evening train on Saturday. He
registered at the Watson and left a
call for No 8. He was Joined at the
station by his bride and they went
to Oakland.
The matter was kept profound
secret and not soul knew of the
plan until just at the time Mrs.
Hartman left the hotel. Then she
told her sister.
After a short wedding trip the
Hartman will return to Morgan
town. where they will reside.

b. & o. RUSHING IMPROVEMENTS.
Street Paving on Depot Approaches.
win Greatly Benefit Local Mer-
chants.

FAIRMoNT, Sept 2.-Baltimore x
Ohio Improvements at this place have
been going On for several weeks, and
the changes in the yards are be-
ginning to be very noticeable Al
though the least in magnitude of all
the recently contracted for improve
ments, the paving and grading OF the
street leading to the freight depot is
perhaps the most interesting TO Fair
monters, For months last winter it
was next to an impossibility for a
team, heavily loaded, to reach the
freight warehouse, and merchants
were on numerous occasions greatly
put out by their inability to get goods
hauled to them soon enough. A local
firm, Hamilton & Irwin, have the
contract for the paving, and yesterday
the greater part of 1t was completed.
The business at the warehouse was
closed down yesterday afternoon, and
by tomorrow noon the paving will be
completed.
At the beginning OF last week, the
work on the new round house on the
Jack property across Buffalo creek was
commenced, and the large forces of
hands employed at this have made
fast progress with their work. This
house will soon be completed, and
then the attention of the contractor
will be taken by numerous other
buildings that are to go on the same
lot.
The work on the big stone abut-
ments for the bridge across Buffalo
creek is going steadily on. The wealth.
er has been very favorable for this
class Of construction, and before the
high water season sets in the stone
work will be finished. The stone re-
tanning wall running from the pas
senger depot to point mile east is
being slowly constructed, aud this
work will be continued long into the
winter
The company is spending a large
amount of money here, and has in
view, above all things, the quick ex-
tension Of the local yards, which are
ia very eongested condition.

The Columbia is the largest boat
ever built for Monongahela river
trade. it is l72 feet in length over

will do service on the Columbia
The cabin capacity of the new boat
is double that of any boat on the
river, as iticontains.. 70 state rooms.
Besides the latest and most improy
equipment the boat Will be lavishly
furnished. Every convenience for
the accommodation of passengers
will be provided. The electric light
plant is the largest procurable. Two
large electric arc lights, an electric
search light will be provided and
the interior will be illumined by
nearly 400 incandescent electric
lights. OF course the Columbia will
be the newest and handsomest
steamer on the river. As soon as
Miss Columbia finishes her toilet,
at Pittsburg, which it is expected
will occupy about two weeks, she
will enter the Pittsburg and Nor
gantown trade, manned by crew of
the Pittsburg IL Morgantown Pack
ct Co.
As stated the hull of the Colum
bia was built by Axton Il Sons, the
Aubrey Lumber Co. built the cabin
the boilers were made by j. Her
bertson's Sons, all Brownsville
firms, and the painting was done by
Boggs, of Pittsburg. All the work
thus far accomplished is highly sat
isfaetory to the owners of the boat
When completed the Columbia will
cost $40, 900.
With the addition of the Columbia
to their fleet the Pittsburg & Nor
gantown Packet Co. will have six
boats hauling the river trade be-
tween Pittsburg and Morgantown,
their other packets being the /. c.

rounded herself with this season is
wholly adequate and each one feels the
greatest interest in their own work,
and in the welfare Of Miss Paige and
Manager Willard. The strength OF the
Company and the grand productions
will make it very interesting week
