By Their Deeds,

From the Chicago Tribune.
A tattered beggar in the street
Sang always some old grooming
hymn,
And held to those whom he might
meet
His hat with ragged, greasy brim.
Two men-two mighty men-came by
Two honored leaders of the town!
Came, too, a dame of repute high
Each passed the beggar with a
frown.
But still the beggar sang away
With awkward music in each word !;
And through the balance of that day
The three that chanting echo heard.
They heard, and held the fading
strains
AS memories of things that bless,
And added to their other gains
The golden one of kindness.
Now, by. some careless prank of fate.
These four met on the Way of Death
And journeyed to the Joyous Gate
Where but the perfect entereth.
The warder halted them, and told
How all who entered must be known
By goodly deeds-by deeds of gold
By helpful actions all their own.
The honored men explained that they
Had given of their earthly wealth
To help their fellows on the way
To knowledge, peacefulness and
health.
The woman told of visits made,
The suffering and poor to greet
All three told how the world had laid
Its laureled tributes at their feet.
You may go in," the warder smiled.
Although your fame we did not
know,
cup of water to a child
Is more than all the passing show"
The beggar turned to take his way
With humbled mien and dropping
head.
The warder called to him to STAY.
Come in! We've heard YOU sing,"
he said.

The fearful accident at Newark. N
j., reported in our dispatches yester-
day, by which trolley car crowded
with school children was cut in two by
railroad train, with eight deaths and
many injuries, is another tribute of
blood to the grade crossing. The troll
ley line, coming down hill, crosses the
railroad track at grade. The trolley
car. becoming unmanageable because OF
ice on the rails, dashed through the
closed gates at the crossing and on the
railroad track just as a heavy Iocomo-
i've came along. The tragedy is iden-
teaily of the kind that might have
been expected in consideration of the
situation of the two tracks and the con-
dition Of the weather. The motorman
aid all IN his power to stop his car: the
engineer OF the locomotive couldn't nos
sioly stop his engine. The CONSEQUENCES
was harvest OF blood from the bodies
OF young children. 1t was the fault Of
Inc GRADE crossing.

The mass of the local reports in the
Morning News yesterday was of most
encouraging and gratifying character,
telling of alertness and enterprise on
the part of the business community. A
Chamber of Commerce is to be organ
lied; fair to be held in the city is
favored; new ten-story building is
projected; arrangements are going for
ward for a new city hall; a new cold
storage company is seeking a charter:
the Cotton Exchange will post local
stocks end bonds-these were some Of
the subjects treated in the days news.
They show that there is life in the old
land" and that the people are hustling.
Such news is infinitely better than re-
ports of crimes. We want more COM
mercial and less criminal activity in the
community. knowing the things we
want. as Mr.. Gazan said at the meet
ing of the merchants. NOV let's get

CAPT KTDD,s TREASURES

1t Is particularly congruous that there
should be intimate association of the
names of Capt. William Kidd and Wall
street. Probably there are not a great
many persons who know that that most
famous of all sea rovers was a Wall
street man, yet such is the fact. If. in
his day, the street had known it's bust
would not have been obliged to go, to
sea. He could have stayed at home
and cleaned up bigger chests of swag
than he ever got on the roaring main;
and he would not have run the risk of
getting his neck into the moose. How
ever, Capt. Kidd could not wait for the
development of Wall street and it's
methods, so he sailed away in his
'long. low, rakish craft" to reap
where he had not wrought. With what
success his enterprises were attended
everybody knows. The spirit of Wall
street was strong within him, though
he was possibly unaware of it at the
time. We learn from song and story
that he acquired vast hordes of treas
ures-gold and gems and jewels. There
being no Waldorf-Astoria at that time.
end the stock ticker not having been
invented and John w. Gates not hay
ing been born, Capt, Kidd had to seek
some other method of separating him
self from his wealth. and so he buried
it. Just where the interment took
place has never been ascertained.
Capt Kids New York residence was
at the intersection of Wall, Pearl and
Beaver streets. The identical plot
upon which his house stood is now the
preparing to erect upon it a fifteen
story skyscraper of the "flatiron" pat
tern. Excavation for the foundation
is to be shortly begun. Inasmuch as
the Kidd treasures have never been
found elsewhere, and as digging to a
great depth has never been done at the
site of the Kidd homestead, there Is
some speculation in Wall street (quite
appropriately, upon whether or not
the famous captains great chests of
treasure will be found by the workers
on the foundation excavation. Should
this occur it would be but an exempli-
fication Of Wall streets luck. Mean
While, accepting lor the purpose a the
ory of spiritualists, it may be suspect
ed that Capt. Kids spook has long
since ceased to hover over the hiding
place of his treasure. if it was really In
Wall street. because of chagrin at the
fact that the modern talent of the
street so far outclasses his own

One of the silliest pieces of legislation
suggested this winter is that proposed
in the Minnesota Senate by Senator Nc
Gowan of Minneapolis. His bill makes
it unlawful for any newspaper in the
state to print the report of any crime
except in the manner prescribed in the
bill; namely. that a mere statement of
the facts shall be given, and that the
statement shall be without headlines
and in small type, and shall not be ac-
companied by either pictures or
sketches.

At recent session the Indiana Leg
islature passed a pure food law. After
it had been engrossed and ratified it
was found that the text had been so
changed in the engrossing that the en-
tire effect of the law was lost. In or
der to prevent recurrence of any such
thing, Gov. Durbin has asked the Leg
islature to pass a law which will re-
quire the state to design and patent a
special type in which all bills present
ed to the Legislature shall be printed.
1t is proposed to eliminate the engross-
ing department. Printing the bills in
stead of engrossing them. it is esti-
mated, will save the state 800 a day
during the meeting of the assembly.

The bill pending in the New York
Legislature requiring the presence of
third man in the cab with the engl-

bill growing out of the Westfield wreck
on the Central of New Jersey Railroad
is being warmly antagonized by the
locomotive engineers. They assert that
third man in the cab would be a
source of danger rather than one of
safety. Having nothing to do, he
would want to talk, and might be ask
ing for match just at a critical mo-
ment. "A third man, without definite

Mr.. Gathmann of Chicago, inventor
of the now famous gun that failed, is
once more in the public eye with an
other invention. He says he has per-
fected an apparatus for sterilizing wa
ter, with which he can sterilize 1,00O,-
900 to 100000 gallons of water in a
space ten feet square at a cost of SO
to IS per 100000 gallons, or at the
maximum rate of five mills per 1000
gallons. That is a very reasonable price
to be paid for immunity from typhoid
fever and the other ills that go to
consumers in their drinking water. If
Mr.. Gathmann can do what he claims,
he should be voted a benefactor by
Chicago and Philadelphia. The water
supply of Savannah, happily. does not
need sterilizatio it is pure.
