for the better tone being attributed to
the closing of navigation on the Dan

A QUESTION OF MORALS.

The new scheme of watering the Rock Island company involves the is sue of new 4 per cent bonds dollar for dollar for the stock, and then the fur ther issue of 70 per cent in new pre- ferred stock and still further 100 per cent in common stock. In all, this makes $270 at par for each $100 nomi- nally invested in the property. The voting power is to vest in the preferred stock That is to run the company, buy subordinate roads that the board may desire to buy, and so on. In wicked days boards sometimes bought of their individual members. But who would do such a thing in these days of elevated morals?
 This Rock Island scheme has come in for a great deal of severe criticism, and one grave complaint was made that the new charter permitted the di- rectors to use the company's money to buy it's stock with, leaving them also the power to sell such purchase again; and further that no stockholder was al- lowed the right to inspect the books of the company in which he was an owner. The defense of the remark able and plainly immoral provisions IS not that they are right but that they are copied from the charter of the great steel trust. The New York Evening Post quotes the following as from the steel charter:-
 Tn it's discretion the board of direct ors may use and apply any such sur plus or accumulated profits in pur- chasing or acquiring it's bonds or other obligations. or shares of its own cap- ital stock. to such extent and in such manner and upon such terms as the board of directors shall deem expedi- ent; but shares of such capital stock so purchased or acquired may be re- sold unless such shares have been re- tired for the purpose of decreasing the company's capital stock as provided by law
 No stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the corporation. except as conferred by statute or authorized by the board of directors, or by resolu- tion of the stockholders
 It will probably surprise some strong advocates of the steel trust toS2nd that such provisions are in it's charter The restriction about examining books may have its Justification. Certainly on one should be allowed such privilege who has hostile intentions toward the com pany. But nobody can make . sound defense of an arrangement which per- mits directors to take the money they hold in trust for the stockholders and use 1t to buy their stock from them when 1t is selling below it's value. and sell it again when 1t has been showed up above it's value. No director should speculate at all in his com pany's stock. Least of all should he be allowed to speculate In 1t with the companv's own funds. It Is ob- viousiy improDer that In small com many it would never be tolerated.-- Hartford Courant

A CREW OF WOMEN

The Austrian steamer Fora passed in the Delaware breakwater early this morning. She Is from Alexandretta, . seaport In northern Syria, which place she left on. July 3. with cargo of licorice and general merchandise. The vessel Is commanded by Captain Gala grovich. The Fora Is consigned to L.. Rubelli.
 Said MT RubeIli: "Yes. the Zora's crew are all females. Strong and sturdy. every one is. too. Tn fact, there are no better sailors in the world than the Turkish women of AIexan- dretta. They are used to the sea from infancy. No one can handle n boat better. Anyhow. who knows Turk ish woman from a man? They .all dress alike"
 This Mir Rubelli said. and his eve twinkled as he said It. Continuing. he declared that these Turkish Amazons could not be excelled in seamanship.
 Another thing want to say" said MT Rubelli, lis that the Fora brings here an ancient Idol that drifted into Alexandretta from India Captain Calagrovich has it in his cabin. It will soon be mine. 1t is said that ha who possesses the idol will have un- usual luck"
 While Mr Rubelli was telling his story of the Amazon crew and the idol. Customs Boarding Officer Rauch stood by He looked sorely puzzled. He has encountered all sorts of crews. Tbere is no nationality that he has not seen on board ship. but woman crew never. It will be late this even ing before the Fora reaches her dock, but the customs people feel that her crew will be a question for the collec- tor of tine port to pass upon. It may be that remembers will have no bet ter status than Chinese, in which case it would be unwise for the skipper to permit the women sailors to land.- Philadelphia Telegraph.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

A resident of Williams avenue who bert Home. was aroused by his good housewife this morning as the grey light was just beginning to dispeI the darkness-so that was a very early hour and informed that she had just heard a noise in the sitting room and that there was some one in the house, intimating that robbers were plying their trade there, says the Winsted Citizen The husband was just going to accuse his better-half of dreaming, when the sound was repeated. A lump that was rising in his throat nearly got the best of him, but in his desperation he plucked up sufficient courage to crane his neck cautiously around so he could peer through the half open doorway. Just then there was sound came to his ears, as if some one was darting down the slat walk at the side of the house With the burg lars outside the house that was another matter. The lump vanished with the thought and he dashed to the win dow to catch glimpse of the fleeing invader, with perhaps all the family jewels i'll his pockets, when he discov- cred that instead the cause of the noise was the house cat, which had just suc- ceeded in freeing herself from two sheets of fly paper, leaving great patches of hair behind. Blast the eat! He made for kittie with the alacrity of a tiger, only to find that he, too, was stuck fast to fly paper gum, but kittie finally went whizzing through the window, minus great patches of hair.

MISS ALcoTrs FIRST POEM.


 A starved robin was the inspiration for Louisa M, A1cott's first poem. One winter morning as she, with other children, raced up and down the paths of the garden In Concord, she discov. cred a wee robin, half dead with hun ger and cold, which had fallen from it's perch. She gathered the tiny bundle of feathers to her bosom and, heading the little procession turned toward the house. A warm nest was made for the foundling, and with motherly care lit tie Louisa May Alcott, then only s years old. fed and nursed back to life the half-famished bird. Before the lit tie feathered patient. quite strong again. flew away to freedom the future authoress and noted poetess. the ''chil- dren's friend" who loved and pitied all helpless things. and whose greatest de- light was to relieve the suffering. wrote her first poem, and called 1t "'To the First Robin" It contained only these two stanzas:
 Welcome. welcome, little stranger. Fear no harm. and fear no danger; We are glad to see you here. For you sing, Sweet spring Is near" Now the white snow melts away, Now the flowers blossom gay: Come, dear bird. and build your nest, For we love our. robin best.

MONEY IN POTATOES.

The real plutocrat this year is the
 man who has n big crop of potatoes. alrake the case of that MT McGee -near Orrick. He raised 200 acres of potatoes. He began digging last week and from seven acres got five carloads or 2,J00 bushels. an average of 35T bushels an acre. He thinks his entire crop will turn out at least as well. He expects to be able to sell it for 30 cent bushel If he is. each acre will yield $1061 His expenses per acre he estimated at S4339. Subtract this from $10710, and you have $67.31, the amount he expects to clear per acre. On this basis he will net on his entire crop $12.742. In addition to which he will have the satisfaction of having rendered n great service to that race from which his name indicates he has sprung Mir McGee, of 0rrick. seems Ito be the right kind and to know his FbusIness, which is important, whether the field of ones activities is grubbing underbrush or polishing the cushioned yseat of bank president.-Kansas lCitx Journal

Everybody Can't Do Everything.

We can't paint a picture, or carve a statue. or make a coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do 1t because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for good while-be- cause we have studied it, and thought about 1t, and worked hard as any painter ever did. It requires as much hard work, and practice, and talent, to make a good laundry as to make good picture. Everybody can't paint a pic- ture- everybody can't wash clothes per fectly. We want you to give us fair trial, and allow us to prove our word.

JOLLY JACK TARS

Sailors from the fleet in In the har- bor owned the town on Saturday and yesterday says the New London Tele- graph. 1t was their pay day Saturday and they proceeded to spend their money and enjoy jolly rollicking old time with fight with q marine to settle an old score now and then or Il mix up among themselves just to cele- brate the pay day. Saturday after noon until nearly evening the streets were full of them. The sailors travel ed around In squads and any squad was ready at any time after it had n few drinks to bet that 1t could lick any other squad
 They did the queerest things. One lot mixed things up with q bunch of Italians. One sailor kicked an Italians dinner pail. The latter protested in Italian, but they did not fight so D couple of bluejackets picked them up, each by leg and an arm, and brought the seat of his trousers against q bill board with dull tflud three times in succession. The Italian Couldn't fight because he was 4rC1d in i ron grips And because he did not try Sc fight one of the sailors said: You're pret- ty good fellow. Come and have a drink" The little Italian was carried into a Bank street saloon and perched up on one end of the bar. Each sailor In the crowd bought him n drink and a cigar all at one time. They stuffed the cigars into his pockets and placed eight drinks of lager in front of him at once. He got outside of the bar and when in a dream he was allowed to go. He did not know whether to be mad or glad, but he smiled when one of the bluejackets gave him half dol- lar to pay for new dinner pail.

Everybody is talking about the event and everybody will be up there If they can possibly get away from their work. It will be regular circusday In this city for many of the stores have agreed to decorate their premises on the occasion and the pa- .fade will be picturesque one. Each iu1lk will be attired in an elaborate costume and preceded by the Ameri- ran band there will will be fun right from the drop of the hat. Thursday then is the big day and the Driving park the place and if you have never seen crowd of Elks together you do not want to miss this one.

WILLIAM VESTS MINISTRIES.


 Polls theater opened last evening with good sized audience to see the minstrels who are travelling under the name of the late Billy West. It was a corking good entertainment, too, in many respects and when a few more features are added it will be just as good as any on the road. The first part is particularly entertaining and the solo singing is just as clever as any that has ever been heard here. The setting, too, is new and novel and kaided by the light effects made the 'sscene very pretty one. Most of the fsongs were new and the singers were in good voice. E. W. Chipman occu- pied Billy Vests seat as interlocutor and in voice and action he was an ideal center figure. Of the vocalists the best numbers were rendered by Harry Sylvester with '@The Soldier Boy" Georgie Jones with ''I've Got My Eye on You" and Dreaming" by Clement Stewart. Each was assisted by very able orchestra and the arr engagement of the lights produced some attractive and novel effects. The cnd men, headed by the redoubtable Billy Wan, were all clever and their songs were catchy and mostly new. The other end men were John H. King, Frank Hammond and Jules Bennett. The arrangement of the choruses was one of the interesting features of the minstrels. Tn fact, the whole first part was excellent. In the olio the Ford brothers gave a good exhibition of hard shoe dancing and Billy Van was was just as funny as ever in his rnonoIopue work The Barrow trio were very clever in their peculiar biz cycle work. The other features in Ehe oIio could be improved upon.

FOREST PARK.

Tonight at Forest park will be an- other gala event. It is fireworks night as Thursday has been given up to the local Elks for their fireworks. The display this evening will be on a par with all the other exhibitions and a big crowd will undoubtedly attend. Besides this feature the regular en- 1ertainment will be given and 1t is a corker. The program this week is an excellent one and a big crowd was present last night at the opening per- formance. The matinees also are at zracting good crowds.
