BLACK EYE TO SoCIALIsM.--After a
long debate, chiefly noteworthy because
of the bitter language of President
Samuel Gompers in dealing with social
ism. the American Federation of Labor
in Boston yesterday defeated resolutions
pledging it to socialism. Nine resolu-
tons presented by socialists and calling
for the adoption of their principles had
been reported upon unfavorably by the
committee on resolutions, and delegates
representing a voting strength Of II ,2S2
registered themselves in support of the
committees recommendation, while dele
gates with 2, 1876 votes were cast in favor
of the resolution. All the leaders Of
both sides engaged in the debate. Just
before the vote was taken considerable
excitement was caused by Delegate
Carey's condemnation of Vice President
Duncan's attack upon the socialists.

BAN ON SCHOOL. L. j. Early,
rector of the Catholic Church of Irving
ton, N. Y, has forbidden the children
of Catholic parents in his parish to at
tend the sewing school which for years
has been maintained by Miss Helen NJ.
Gould. About 300 children attend the
school. Father Early's first objection
was made when some OF the Catholic
children attended luncheon given By
Miss Gould on Friday. AT this luncheon
sandwiches were served, and the Catholic
children partook of it uumindful of the
day. As soon as Father Early learned
of this he put the school under ban.
Since then there has been some cores
pondence between the priest and Miss
Gould. Another thing the priest objected
to was that hymn was sung at the
opening of the affair. In her reply to that
complaint, Miss Gould told him it had
been her wish to have the daily sessions
of the class opened by readings from the
Scriptures, but out of Difference to the
Roman Catholic children, she had re-
Trained from having this done. In the
future her original wish will be carried
out.

DEATH OF JUDGE sENER.

Judge james Beverley Seuer, native
of Virginia, but for number of years
resident of Washington, died at the
Providence Hospital in that city at 2;45
o'clock Yesterday afternoon after long
illness, aged sixty-seven years. Judge
Sener suffered an attack OF gup last
winter. from the effects Of which he
never recovered. He visited various
sections of the country in the effort to
find relief, but his strength grew gradu-
ally less and less, until the end yester-
day. During the civil war Judge sener
acted as correspondent for southern
newspapers, and in this capacity wit
messed many of the great battles. lie
was a graduate of the University OF Vir-
ginia, and for several years president OF
its alumni society. He was prominent
in the councils of Virginia Masonry,
Judge Sener represented his district in
Congress after the civil war, and was
afterward appointed by President Grant
U. S. Judge for the district of Wyoming.
Upon his retirement from the bench he
came to Washington, where he had since
resided. He never married. Several
years ago Judge Sener wrote for the
Governor report of the Board of visi-
tors to Mount Vernon, and during that
time he also composed handsomely illus
trated book on the home of Washington
which embraced many interesting
"reminiscences of Fairfax county and
Alexandria. This volume is regarded
as one of the most entertaining aud H.
structive ever written ON those lines.
The deceased hadNmany personal ac-
quaintances and friends in Alexandria,
especially among the Masonic fraternity.
Jovial and pleasant in demeanor, the
Judge was welcome guest in any as
sembly, and his death will be regretted
by all who knew him. Judge Sener
was Past Master of Kilwinning
Crosse, No. 2-2S7, of Bowling Green.
His funeral will take place from the resi-
dence of his sister, Mrs. V. A. Bradshaw,
1852 V street northwest, Washington,
tomorrow morning, at $50 o'clock.
The interment will be at Fredericksburg,
the old home of the Sener family.

Ono OF the most distressing features OF
the strike in this city Is the rowdy con-
duct OF boys. "A great deal OF the discr-
der has been created by them. They have
,eered at the motorn1en and conductors
and thrown missiles at them and put OBJ
structions upon the track, and have been
very much In evidence In nearly all the
demonstrations that have been made
But how could It be otherwise. when
men have set the example7 Boys are nat
uraily riotous. and strict discipline Is nee
essary to teach them obedience and or
Derby conduct. But when they see their
elders tran,ple the law underfoot and
defy the authorities and engage in acts
Of violence. they naturally take advar,-
tage OF this occasion to give vent TO their
own natural feelings.
We do not say this In any feeling OF
unkindness, but in sorrow, for we feel
a deep interest in the boys OF this gen
GRAFTON, who are to be the men In charge
In tho next generation. It Is the duty OF
the elders to train the boys Alright and
to set them good examples In morals and
manners and obedience to the authors
ties. Especially would we impress this
lessons upon parents. How can parents
expect their own children to obey them
when they In turn set the law Of the land
at donance7 1t Is serious question for
every parent to consider. It is great
responsibility to raise child. II parents
do their duty by the child, teaching prop
er conduct. by example as we'll as by pre-.
cept, they will at least have nothing with
" hich to reproach themselves II the child,
III spite Of such instruction, goes wrong
But Il they set bad example and the
child, following the example Of the par
ent, goes to the bad, Q. conscientious par
ent must necessarily in the years to come
be overwhelmed with remorse, Every
man who loves his boy desires that no be-
como a good and useful citizen. There's

to set an example In good citizenship
