Remarkable Pamphlet Put Forth by

rom Glnhe Washinrton Rnreau.

From Globe Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3.-As
an example of what can get print
ed as a public document a pamphlet
which has just come from the govern
ment printing Office deserves notice. 1t
was introduced by Senator Wilmington,
and purports to be IAN outline for
study of legislative and other public
questions, prepared by the interna-
tional reform bureau of Washington,
D. c." 1t is Senate Document SO, and
there are tWenty-eight closely printed
pages of it. 1t begins with the propo-
sition that "the need of the hour is re-
form in study" and goes on to recon-
mend that our public schools add a
course of reading to be selected from
the public documents printed under the
auspices of congress. Then the interna-
tional reform bureau goes on to re-
mark: Ancient prophets spoke at
least eleven times out of twelve to
communities rather than individuals,
and when one of them spoke to an in
dividual it was usually to the king,
that is, the government. Preachers are
the successors, not of priests, but of
prophets, and in this new age of cities
and social solidarity, when action must
in many things be social rather than
individual, the preacher ought surely
to devote at least one Of his twelve adj
dresses per month Counting prayer
meetings) to social themes"
Then Mr.. international Bureau sub
mits some practical suggestions. For
instance, he would have St. Patrick's
day devoted to discussion Of immigra-
ton. The first week in June, ''The
Family Dune being the wedding
month";. The last week in September
should be devoted to discussion of
gambling; for he says it is suggested
by gambling at fairs and on harvest,
and betting on fall elections. Jumping

ed Leland Stanford. Perkins was on
MS way to Washington. He had paid
Tor a Pullman, but he chose to ride in a
DAY coach between Reno and Winnie
mucca, and there, clad in an old trav-
el1ng buster and somewhat begrimed
with dust and cinders, there was MOTH
ing in his outward aspect to interfere
with his democratic role He soon was
engaged IN conversation with his fellow
travellers and had snapped tobacco and
stories before the subject of politics
was preached. Then the man with the
red shirt and griZzled Whiskers turned
on MIN and wanted to know whether
he knew that man Perkins who had
just been appointed to the senate. The
newly appointed senator admitted a
slight acquaintance with the man mem
toned, and the stranger continued:
Well, sir, do yknow, if 1 had any
acquaintance with the governor I'd
send him telegram. I'd say to him
ned appointed the best man in the
state. know Perkins! Perkins? Why.
L remember George Perkins when he
run truck store mp at Oroville. An
manyS the time he'd staked me to
bacon and beans. Bacon and beans
when was fiat busted! Know George
Perkins? Why, I'd know him in hell!
Well, stranger, here's where I get off.
Glad met yu. Any friend of Perkins
is friend o. mine!"
And, as the train slowed down for
Winnemucca, Perkins stole back to the
Pullman unrecognized and unrecogniz
ing.
Since he has been in the senate,
when he was first appointed a n1elnhcr
of the committee on naval affairs, Ser
ator Perkins has done more Haroua
business. He dug up some old clothes,
recalled the seafaring gait Of his youth
and visited Norfolk shipyards incoG.
Here he mingled with the worknen,
passing himself off for a skipper, and
heard the government and senate
frankly abused. He found what the
men thought was wrong, and picked up
q vast amount OF practical info: nation
which never would have been tod him
as a senator. In subsequent -r;eetings
OF the committee he amazed his col
leagues and others by his full and ac-
curate information as 10 the actual

to physical education, Mr.. Bureau SAYS
that many dull boy could be awak-
ened Intellectually by a bath. After
touching lightly on fifty-eight other
topics the reform bureau comes in a
page or so to immigration. A flood of
light is cast on the problem by the
statement that plans for restricting
immigration must not violate the
brotherhood of man. The first excIu-
sion to be accomplished is the exclu-
sion of race prejudice from ourselves"
AS to Sunday.
By the next page he has come to the
April topic, which has to do with the
observance of the Sabbath. On this
subject Senator Wellington and his
colleagues will be greatly enlightened
by the following:
I'm the case of a certain laborer, TAX
en- for example, a normal days avork
overdraws his oxygen one ounce, and
normal nights rest only restores five
sixths of it. Losing one-sixth of an
ounce per day he is six-sixths of an
ounce short on Sabbath morning, a
whole ounce short, whole day behind
in the same condition physically on
Sabbath morning, in the same need of
rest, as on Monday night. He is there

balance his account with nature If he

erals who drove up at the mayors Of

selves as military emissaries of the
government sent to verify, or disprove
the report that the village was a YER
liable nest of counterfeiters. AS the
rascals came in a gorgeous carriage,
four horses abreast, and were most
magnificently got up with colored rib
bonS, crosses and stars, the mayor had
no doubt of their genuineness and al
lowed them to go ahead. The generals
went from house to house demanding
that the proprietors show their paper

taken down and marked fer a trip to
Siberia. The Vags gathered in nearly
10000 roubels, and to keep up the fic-
ton sent ten of the supposed counter
feiters to the nearest town in chains
and under escort of the Cossacks sta
toned in the village. Then they de-
parted, saying that they were going to
another village in search of counter
feiters. Only a week later the mayor
learned that he and his people were
buncoed by a couple of expert thieves
for whom the authorities have long
been looking for. They are still look

Several Charges of Highway
Robbery Made Against Him

John Busch, who pleaded guilty in
Judge LawlOr's court to two charges of
robbery, was sentenced yesterday to

the North Beach" He committed
numerous robberies during the month
of August and the two to which he
pleaded guilty were the holding up of

of the most desperate characters COM
ing under their observation. He was
arrested last January with William
Peterson for entering the grocery and
saloon of Fritz Heinecke, 1133 FiIbert
street. While Peterson covered the
proprietor with a revolver Busch ritied
the till. Heinecke made a move to go
to an inner room and Peterson fired a
