A Rich Beggar.

A New York exchange says the ten
der hearted persons in the Harlem po-
lice court were shocked last week
when Francisco Gorgia, an aged, shriv-
eled and miserable looking Italian
organ-grinder, was fined for begging.
The white-haired old man looked ap-
pealing about the room, and from
long habit put out his hand, but
quickly recovering himself and glanc-
ing uneaSily at the magistrate, he
brought forth grimy old bag and
counted out pennies, nickels, dimes
and quarters until he had paid his
fine. Then he paid $500 also in
change to his lawyer. By This time a
crowd was about him. To the aston
ishment of the court attaches and the
dismay of those who had sympathized
with him, he produced package con-
tanning $3.50 IN bills and handbook
on the Bank of Rome, Italy, showing
he had $4,000 on deposit there. Cor
gia, who is sixty, says be will retire
from "busineSs. 4" He thinks a man
should retire at sixty. The beggar
also volunteered the information that
he recently gave his daughter $4,000
as wedding present.

her, she didn't realize her own weari-
ness But once at home, exhaustion over
came her. If woman were thoroughly
robust, without ache or pain, she could
not keep this work up without under
mining her health. What shall be said
then of those women, who are not strong,
who suffer from headache, backache,
bearing-down pains, and other conse-
quences of a diseased condition of the
wonanly organism? And these women
are in the great majority. There are
few women who are free from diseases
peculiar to their sex.
BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS
That expressive saying not only sug-
gests the most rapid form of waste but
also the most foolish. When a woman
overtaxes her strength in any cause,
whether in the enjoyment of social
pleasures, or in the service of church or
charity, she is rapidly fastening to the
end of her public activity.
The proof of this is found right at
home. Young natrons who are not
dancing any more, church workers who
are no more active these have not step
ped aside because of loss of interest but
because of lack of strength.
There is not weak woman who would
not like to be made strong again. There
is not sick woman who would not like
to be made well. And there is not the
least reason, in ninety-eight cases out of
every hundred, why women should con-
tinue to be weak and sick The first

PENSION VETO BY PRESIDENT
Roosevelt Refuses Approval of Bill Be.
cause OF Soldiers Record.

WASHINGTON. April 16-Pres-
ident Roosevelt has sent to the
house a veto of the bill pension
ing Thomas F. Walter, a lieuten-
ant in a Pennsylvania volunteer
regiment during the civil war, at
81 per month. The veto message
states that the records of the
war department show that this
soldier was cashiered by sentence
of a general court maj tial, for
disobedience of orders, and that
this disobedlence was admitted.
ITO inscribe his name on the
pension roll, the message says,
would be to condone an ineXcus-
able offense by commission Off
Ger, to detract from the high es-
innate in which the pension roll
ought to ever be held. and to do
injustice to soldiers now on that
roll, especially those under the
act of June q, 1890, where an
honorable discharge from the ser
vice is condition precedent to
obtaining a pension.

and that it could not entertain a
prososal to remove the restric-

Canada.

RoOsEvELTs CORRESPONDENCE
A Boys Letter to the President and the
Answer Thereto.

Some of President Roosevelt's cor
respondence amuses him not little
by its individuality and frankness.
A boy friend wrote to him the other
day that people around his neignbor-
hood were quoting the President as
saying to person who had got worst
ed in struggle and was inclined to
complain: "Whatever else you do,
don't squeal" The boy wauted to
know whether the President really
said this. He added that he had SUBJ
mitted the question to his teacher,
who had assured him that the quota
tion could not have been genuine. be-
cause the President would not have
used the word "squeal," which is not
"refined.r
The whole letter was thoroughly
boyish, even to the spelling and punct-
uation, and had evidently not been
dictated, or even supervised, by any
older person. With his notion of suS-
tanning discipline Mr.. Roosevelt could
not, of course, contradict the teacher
by admitting that he did say "squeal"
or by insisting that the word was ''re-
fined" So he chose the pleasant SUBJ
terfuge of diverting his young cor
respondent S attention to another ad-
monition.
"DO you play football? he wrote.
''If so, here is motto for you: "Dont
finch. Strike the line hard. ',-BoS-

Urges Upon Senate the Desira-

more than four hours yesterday,
Mr. Morgan { ALA, chairman OF
the isthmlan canal committee.
addressed the senate on the SUBJ
ject of the Nicaragua canal. He
devoted the greater part of his
speech to a consideration of the
desirability and practicability of
the two principal routes, Nicar-
aqua and Panama. He strenu-
ously favored the former, main
tanned that in every possible re-
spect it had many advantages
over the Panama route.
Mr.. Morgan said the subject
could be stated IN six PROPOSE
tions:
81. We have reached the point
where investigation is complete
by observation, experience, sci
entitic research, and forecast, and
these means of knowledge are as
conclusive of the facts as we could
hope to make them in another
nalf century of delay.
% The question now to be
decided is the choice of either Of
two routes for canal; whether
it shall be located at Panama, or
through the valley of the San
Juan river, IN Nicaragua ard Cos
ia RIGA.
IS. The controlling factor in
making this selection is the as
surance of success in construct
ing a canal that will be perma-
nently useful for commerc and
for the needs of the government
and It's policies, and for the ben
eft of the people of the United
States.
81. Any sum of money neces-
sary for expenditure in the work
of constructing such canal. to
accomplish such ends, cannot be
reasonably compared with the
real value of the result to the
people and the government of the
United States, and sincere regard
to it's permanent usefulness and
advantage, should not be con-
trolled or affected by difference
in the present cost of cOnstruc-
ton, will say, with a limit of
even $500, 100000.
"5. The assured certainty of
success in the construction of a
permanent canal is of necessity
the basic or foundation fact npon
which congress must act in the
selection of the canal route Con-
sidered as a simple proposition of
civil engineering, there is no
doubt-not even a shadow of
doubt as to any fact touching the
practicability of ship canal from
GreytOwn to BritO, in and along
the San Juan river and across
Lake Nicaragua. 1t is certain,
beyond reasonable doubt, that
its cost is as nearly within the
limits of exact estimates as any
great public work that was ever
undertaken. 1t is upon this as
certained and settled basis of
certainty that l resist my judg-
ment.
"6. If the dam at Bohio on the
Panama route should fail for any
cause, the only hope of of a canal
across that isthmus would perish
never to be restored. ALI engin-
GERS admit this fact. The failure
of dam at any site on the San
Juan river would only mean a loss
of that structure, to be replaced
on a better location if a lake-level
canal is preferred.
Referring to the position taken
by the advocates of the Panama
route Mr.. Morgan said: mo
more reckless an attitude was ev-
er taken with reference. to an eco
rosric question or with less be-
nevolence, reason, or justice to
support it."
