COAL SCARCITY BEARS
ON THE POOR
Report of Associated Charities secre-
tary Shows Situation.


The fuel stringency, while causing
inconvenience to the wer-to-do. is the
cause of much suffering among the
poor people. The quarterly report of
Secretary Gutridge, of the Associated
CHARITIES, reveals the extra burden that
has beer placed upon the community
by the high price of coal.
Secretary Gutridge says: During
the last three months of 1902 we made
265 Investigations of reported distress,
of which 81 were new. For the same
period last year the figures were 274
and "a, respectively. This indicates
slightly better conditions than last year
for the quarter, but it is worth while
to look at the cases by months. In
October and November this year we
had 40 less calls than in the CORE
spending months one year ago. Decem-
Der last year, however, shows 81 more
than December of 1901, or over 27 per
cent. The high price of fuel is the
chief cause of this increase. The bet
ter showing of October and November
is due to the milder weather"
Continuing, Secretary Gutridge says
of the work of the various depart
ments: Under Miss Hanson's direc-
ton, the department of friendly visit
ing has made real progress 1t is diff
hcult to report on this branch of our
work, as much of it cannot be definite
ly reported. However, it may be said
that % new visitors have been secured
and 33 families assigned.
The provident fund has been SO well
established that it is now one of the
best elements of strength in our work
1t has been introduced into one addi-
t1onal school, and requests for it's ex-
tension are coming faster than we can
meet. Two more stations will be OPEN
ed soon. 1t is worth while noting that
this department has again received no.
tice in the national press, awakened by
the healthy character of our last an
nual report.
1.-THE deposits of the quarter amount
ed to about $4,000, a much larger
amount than in any previous three
months; $1,000 has been withdrawn,
so that the net gain is about $500. The
character building element in the work
cannot be definitely set down.
The department of visiting nurses
is now organized. Miss Cannon has
unusual qualifications for the work,
and she moves in the charity organiza-
ton spirit. Since Nov. 1, the date she
began, she has visited 48 sick people,
making 254 visits. Many generous do
nations have been made to establish
the work.

POLICE PICK UP PAIR
OF RUNAWAY BOYS
Duluth Youngsters Who Left Home
Are Brought to Book.

Two small boys were picked up last
night by the police, having been OBJ
served hanging about questionable re-
sorts. When brought to the central
station they gave their names and adj
dresses as Albert Anderson, ESQ Third
avenue east, and Thomas Chalmers.
627 Second avenue east, Duluth.
The police of that city were immedi-
ately telephoned and it was found that
the boys had run away from home
about a month ago and that their alb
sence was causing their parents much
worry.
The parents of Chalmers wired a
ticket for his return to Duluth and he
left under the care of Detective La
Vale last night.
Anderson's mother is a widow and is
very i'll, in straitened circumstances
and unable to assist her boy. He was
warned, when given permission to leave
the station hast evening, to quit st.
Paul on pain of. workhouse sentence
if arrested again.

WOULD CHANGE TAX
ON FOREST LANDS
Prof. Green Points the Ne
cessity for Developing
Wood Lands.

'In the matter of taxes we should
make some changes if we mean to en-
courage forestry" said Prof. Samuel
B. Green, of the University of Minneso>-
ia, in an address before the
Chamber of Comerce yesterday
morning, on European Forestry Meth
DDS and Their Adaptation to Minneso-
ia Conditions" He described the Ger
man system and gave some advice.
1.-The time of the cash return from
the land being so long postponed" he
continued, cit seems to me that it
would be more just than our present
system to tax the land only until the
crop is harvested, at which time a
certain heavy income tax levy should
be made. This is the plan followed in
many parts of Europe. If forests are
really of the benefit which we say we
think they are to the state and nation,
then we should tax them in a differ
ent way from what other property is
taxed, if it is necessary to do so for
their encouragement.
THE cultivation of forests in Min
nesota for timber has been neglected
for the reason that there seemed to be
no immediate necessity for it, and the
remuneration offered was not sufficient
to induce capital to go into it. Much
the same condition of affairs prevail
years ago, when forestry was in it's in
fancy. AT that time many hundreds OF
acres of land could have been bought
for the produce of a single acre of
oaks that were planted at that time.
This simply means that the Germans,
like We in this country, do not take
UP such subjects until they are forced
TO do so by economic conditions. The
time is coming, however, when we shall
look back to our present conditions
much as we look back to the time
previous to the development of dairying
and agricultural education in this state
Our people are already awakening
to the Importance of the subject of
forestry and are so DESTROYS of informa-
ton along the subject that it will not
be long before we shall see a marvellous
change in the appearance of our wood
lands, and especially in the prevention
of forest fires The increase in the
value of stumpage in this state from
$1.75 per thousand to 81 per thousand
is an enormous increase and has SEEM
ed to do more than any argument to
force home to our producers and con-
Sumers of lumber the fact of the near
approach Of the exhaustion of the sup
ply here. When this increase shall go
up so per cent more. as l believe it
will, within the next ten years, the
subject will be forced home to every
one so strongly that it will require
little urging to get our people to eX-
pend money for these matters. And
when that time comes it will be seen
that forestry pays, providing that it
has suitable protection and suitable
taxation

LITTLE GIRL TO GET
$1,000 FOR LOSS OF ARM
Street Railway Company Settles With
Seven-Year-O Old Hazel Curtis.

The st. Paul City Railway company
has made a settlement whereby Hazel
Curtis, the seven-year- daughter of
Frank R. Curtis, of 525 East Jessamine
street, will be paid $500 for the loss
of an arm, caused by being run over
by a street car near Hamm's brewery
last June. The matter was settled out
of court, and yesterday Probate Judge
Bazille named the child's father as
guardian.
The accident in which the little girl
lost her arm happened at the time two
cars were passing each other, going in
opposite directions. The Curtis girl,
in passing around one car, stepped in
front of another and was injured so
badly that it was necessary to have
one of the arms amputated. Frank
r. Curtis, the girls father, is chief
deputy inspector and state weighmas-
ter of the state grain inspection de-
partmert

TRIANGLE PARK is
FORMALLY CONDEMNED
Commissioners Make Approach Easy
for DR.. Ohage.

The board of park commissioners
last night took final action in the pub
lie bath approach matter by formally
ordering the board of public works to
condemn the strip of ground commonly
called the triangle.
Two pieces CT private property only
are to be taken, the remainder of the
strip being the property of the city.
There may be some objection to pay
ing the assessment, but if it is contest
ed, DR.. Ohage promises to appeal to
the public for the money necessary.
In order that the improvement may
proceed without delay, DR.. Ohage wants
the Omaha road to deposit to his cred
it the $4,000 that it promised towards
defrayirg the cost, but the road so far
has not answered the request. Formal
demand will not be made by the board
until after the strip is acquired.

ASPHALT WAR GIVES
ST. PAUL CHEAP
PAVEMENT
Contracts Awarded to Barber
Company for Paving Nina
Avenue and Capital Boule-
ward at s1.75 a Square
Yard - Three Companies
Submit Bids.

The cheapest price for asphalt paw
ing ever obtained by ST. Paul was
made yesterday when the board of
public works awarded contracts for
the paving of two streets to the
Barber Asphalt Paying company on
basis of $1.75 per square yard. The
lowest figure ever received up to this
time was $1.77 for the paving of Mar
shall avenue two years ago.
The slashing of prices was credited
to difference between the Barber
Ashphalt company and the A. f. Con-
way company, of Chicago. Another
cause, it was said, was the entrance
of a third party, who answered to the
name of James Hanley and who bid
on California or Bermedez asphalt.
Bids for the paving Of four streets
were opened and the most gratifying
feature Of the whole thing, especially
to the board, was the low rate for paw
ing Ninth street, from Smith avenue
to Jackson. 1t figured $1.86 a square
yard and the contract was awarded to
the Barber Asphalt company. This
firm in fact captured all the asphalt
contracts.
The bids, which show on their face
the rivalry between the three COM
panies, were as follows:

A LESSON IN RESTRAINT.

4 There has not been a stronger lesson of
respect to law and order than that which
has just been presented to the State and
the nation in the events about the muir
der of Mr.. F. G. Simmons, the father of
Senator Simmons.
Because of the relationship which ex-
a more pointed one and this will be en-
phasized In the eyes of the world because
that the son is a United States Senator,
representing North Carolina, and the State
chairman of the Democratic party.
The negro at whom the circumstantial
evidence pointed as the murderer of his
father had been caught The son, his
heart Overlooking with deep grief,
mind distracted because of the horrible
death which had come to his venerable
parent yet finds time to come from the
house of mourning and to personally urge
upon his neighbors. his friends and the
people gathered, that they let the law take
its course, and that there be no lynching.
There had been talk of this, and it had
reached the ears of Senator Simmons. The
people were deeply indignant at the bru-
tai assassination and their feelings were
aroused to that point that Il quick end
to the life of the murderer was thought
of. AT this juncture it was the. words
OF an only son that saved the wretch s
life, for it is said that but for the pres
ence and pleas of Senator Simmons this
would have been put an end to.
1t is a lseson in restraint that is not
often taught so plainly and clearly. II
is lesson that should be taken to heart
and considered when the fever of lynch
ing possesses a people.

NO RACE SUICIDE SOUTH.

There is no fear of race suicide in North
Carolina if the census and the proof of
eyes" are to be believed.
North Carolina in the census reports of
the birth rate stands nearly at the top,
only being small per cent behind Indian
Territory and South Carolina, and stand
ing a tie with Oklahoma for the third
place on the list.
President Roosevelt's remarks on race
suicide" should be barred by Mason and
Dixon's line, for to the north of this
the percentage falls far short of that
of the South, which leads in keeping the
population on an increase.
To North Cardinals high position Raj
eigh contributes its full quota, for in this
fair city there is no crying need Tor a
stork crusade. The children, bless their
dear little souls, are here in abundant
numbers.
The birth rate in the Southern States.
as compared with other sections of the
country, is thus shown by a correspondent

FREE RURAL MAIL DELIVERY
AN lNCALCULABLE BLESS
ING.

There has been no more aid to improve
nent in the rural districts than the in
PRODUCTION of the free rural delivery
routes, but there is a fear that some of
these may be lost because of the neglect
of the parties who are most greatly bene-
fitted.
One of the requirements is that there
must be a sufficient number of patrons
oil the route within reasonable time af
ter its establishment to maintain it, or
it would be abolished. Singular as it may
seem one small requirement has not been
met by many on tnese routea and not
meeting this, some routes are not in
creasing and may be discontinued.
This requirement is that there be suit
able and safe boxes on the route for the
delivery of mail, and it is said that wood
boxes are not acceptable. What is re-
Quired is metal boxes and the COMPETE
tion among dealers in these is SO keen
that they can be secured at very small
cost.
Rural free mail delivery Isl conven-
fence that no farmer who is at all anxious
for progress can afford to be without.
This, with the rural telephone line, make
W the greatest advance of the age for
the farmer, and behind these is surely
coming the improved country road. The
free delivery of mail renders farm life
less isolated and gives to the farmer the
convenience in this line which is enjoyed
by the people of the city.
farm on a rural free delivery route
is worth more than one off of it, and
every farmer who is on such a route
should be active in getting other farmers
to accept its blessings and use it. There
should be no farm by which a rural free
delivery route passes but that is equipped
so as to obtain its advantages and keep
these.
