CHILDREN'S PARTIES IN
GERMANY DEMORALIZING
Their Influence Is corruptine and the
Clergy Denounces Them.

SpeclaI Cable to The Globe.
BERLIN, Jan. IA strong agita-
ton has begun in Germany against
children's parties. Both the Catholic
and Protestant clergy are denouncing
this sort Of parties which has been in
troduced from England and the United
States, advocating a return to Puritan
simplicity. Children's parties are be-
coming so elaborate and expensive that
even in court circles protests are
raised. Then the childrens balls are
said to corrupt children. A leading So
ciety woman of Berlin says:
Il have heard remarks from girls at
children's balls about the dresses of
rivals and about the bearing Of bows
which amazed me. Children are taught
the wrong side of the world at these
balls and cease to be children. AT a
chHdren's party with any pretention
TO elegance wine is always served to
mere children who go home semi-intox-
icated and acquire taste for strong
drinks. German children of the bet
ter classes, and especially in the cities.
and of the lower classes, too, are de-
ter1orating in way that is attracting
wide attention. The criminal statistics
OF Nthe large towns show that juvenile
Offenders are growing more numer-
ous.".

National Association Begins Its Annual
Deliberations.

KANSAS. CITY, Mo, Jan. 1.-THE
National Wool Growers association
met here today in annual convention
and many delegates to the national live
stock meeting remained over to attend
its session. The programme included
addresses as follows. How Knowl-
edge Pertaining to the Sheep and
International, Can Be Brought to the
Attention of Those Interested" Hon.
Frank p. Bennett, Boston; English
Taxpayer in America n. A Cooper,
Pennsylvania; Federal Inspection"
DR.. D. E. Salmon, Washington, D. c.,
chief of the bureau of animal industry;
''The COtswold Sheep" Frank w Mard-
ing, Wisconsin; Mutual Interests OF
Wool Growers and Wool Manufa ctur-
ers,' S. D. North, Boston: Benefit to
Be Derived From Organization and Co
Operation" Jesse M. Smith. Utah; "The
Sheep That Produces 100 Per Cent Fine
Delaine Wool" L. L. Harsh, Michigan;
Transportation of Live Stock to Mar
ket," r. F. Butler, Idaho, and Coop
erative Wool Selling" Joseph Ewing,
Ohio.
In his address, President Warren
said the wool growers of the country
were in better condition now than they
had been for years past. The country,
he said, is practically free from old
wool stored in former years by specu-
lators and with the marketing of the
clip this year he believed better prices
would prevail. Take it all the way
from the sleeps back to the clothing
of the consumer, there is no surplus
in this country at this time. President
Warren said the United States seemed
to have become a mutton eating ma
ton within the last two years.
The next convention will be held in
Portland Or. the second Monday in jan
uary, 1904, one day prior to the conven-
ing of the National Live Stock associa-
tion. Senator F. E. Warren. of Wyo-
ming. was reelected president and
Frank P. Bennett of Boston. will serve
another year as vice president. The
president will appoint secretary and
treasurer. 5Ss
Resolutions relating to the forest re-
serves and the disease known as "scab'
provoked the principal discussion Of the
session today. One resolution asked
that jurisdiction over the forest reserves
of the Black Hessa, Grand Canyon and
the ST. Louis mountains be transferred
from the interior department to the agri-
cultural department. Upon the advice
of Senator Warren. action on the resolu-
ton was postponed. A resolution ask
ing that government inspectors be ap-
pointed to investigate and fight the scab
disease was tabled.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 17.-At
the end of a struggle which prolonged
the days session until after o'clock
the house passed the substitute for
the senate bill to establish a depart
ment of commerce and labor. The vote
stood 1877 to 40. All the Republicans
and 20 Democrats voted for the bill.
In committee of the whole, the DEM
Ocrats and a sprinkling Of Repub-
licans, led by Mr.. Corliss (Rep) Mich
igan, struck out the portion Of the bill
providing for a bureau of insurance.
By a piece of parliamentary strategy,
Mr.. Hepburn (Rep), of Iowa, chair
man of the interstate commerce COM
mittee, sought to have this provision
restored, but the opposition stood fast
and he was overcome. The Democrats
then attempted to recommit the bill
with instructions to report back sep
arate bill for the creation of a depart
ment of labor, but the motion was lost.
The only other substantial amendment
was one to authorize the president to
transfer the interstate commerce COM
mission to the new department.
Points of Difference.
The substitute as passed by the
house differs from the senate bill in
important particulars. 1t leaves the
life-saving service, the marine hOspi-
tai service, the steamboat inspection
service, the bureau of navigation and
the shipping commissioners under the
control of the treasury department, but
authorizes the president to transfer
other bureaus for the collection of sta
tistics and the interstate commerce
commission to the new department.
1t places under the control Of the new
department the national bureau of
standards, the coast and geodet1c sur
vey the bureau of statistics the census
bureau, the bureau of foreign COM
merce, the bureau of immigration, In
Guiding jurisdiction over Chinese i'm
migration and also creates the bureau
Of manufacturers and corporations.
These Voted With Republicans.
The Republicans voted solidly for the
bill. The following Democrats voted
with them:

American danger exists in intellectual

most American universities, he points
out, are now equipped better than the
German universities for comprehensive

REDEMPTION OF
IRELAND NEAR
Mr.. Redmond Speaks Hope
fully of Coming Final
Legislation.

LONDON, AN. 17-John Redmond,
M. P, the Irish leader, responding to
National address presented to him at
Edinburgh this evening, said he be-
lieVed that the friends of Ireland would
soon see measure become law which
would heal the wounds of centuries
and give the Irish people a chance of
living in peace and prosperity on their
own soil. If this chance of settling
the Irish land question was lost by the
rejection of the measure, continued Mr.
Redmond, there would be an over
whelming justification for such a
strong, menacing and dangerous public
movement in Ireland as he would be
sorry to see.
He hoped that the spirit of concilia-
ton at the Dublin land conference
would be reproduced in the house of
commons, and, if so, all the political
parties might commence the work Of
appeasement and justice in Ireland
Hitherto, the Irish, Nationalist should
have been fighting landlordism and not
the landlords, who they wished would
remain to take a part in the govern.
ment of the country. Mr.. Redmond
said that the demand on the treasury
for the carrying out of the voluntary
purchase scheme was not unreasonable
The deficit would disappear in ten
years by the reduction in the cost of
governing Ireland. Laying aside the
| questions of what was due to the land
lords, and of the debt due to Ireland,
it would be a profitable investment to
| settle the land question, which had
baffled the best English statesmen, had
been a source Of poverty, misery and
bloodshed and had caused the emigra-
ton of millions of Irishmen who took
| into America and cherished there an
| undying, hatred for the Union Jack
He did not believe that the settle
ment of the land question would end
! the home rule question, but he did nok
hesitate to say that it would be the re-
moY9l- of the last obstacle.

instructions to his engineers to keep contractors
on the williamsburg Bri1ge construction sharp
ly up to the time mark. so to insure the COM

the contracts have December or prior date
as a time limit The steel work the Brook

for the steel flooring of the bridge. on top Of
this steel flooring, fast it is laid will be
put down the wood block pavement which the
Bridge Commissioner has decided TO use for
the bridge. This is put down with a main
tenance guarantee of five years. It is expected
that it will not have to be repaired to any ex-
tent in that period. The blocks are laid so that
the grain of the wood is vertical This makes
1t almost impossible for the wood to splinter.
1t IS said Twenty-Five pounds of a patented
preservative solution are forced by hydraulic
pressure into each cubic foot of the pavement.
The new pavement VIII be nearly hard as

LIFE UNSAFE UNDER THE BRIDGE
Piece Of Iron Falls on a Man-Car Door
Drops to Roof

Because Of the carelessness of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company, bridge repairers and
passengers on bridge cars, steps will soon have
TO be taken to prevent missiles from falling
from the bridge TO the water front streets on
the Manhattan side Yesterday a fragment OF
iron from the bridge fell in front Of a man in
Front-st On Thursday a similar incident took
place. a few weeks ago car door from pass
ing bridge train crashed on the roof OF a COM

of hot metal from an overheated resistance
crate, from the underside of q bridge elevated
car, fell to the deck of the Cherokee at the
Clyde Line pier and set fire to the awning of

Bridge Commissioner LindenthaIs attention
called 10 this abuse this week, and he
has instructed his engineers TO take extra pre-
cautions against accidents. When the accident
happened to the Cherokee the railroad company
promptly paid the bill for damages. Instead of
the mishaps growing less frequent they seem
to be increasing from week TO week.
