Things In Horedity.

1t is q fact well established by stu
dents of heredity that children are apt
10 inherit not only the physical, mental
and moral traits Of their parents, but
10 be influenced by their age as well.
Children born Of very young fathers
and mothers never attain so vigorous a
growth Of mind or body as those Of old
er men and women, while children Of
old people are horn old.
One Of the most surprising cases in
medical history Is that of Marguerite
Cribsowna, who died in 1868, aged los
years. When ninety -four, she was mar
ried to a man aged 100. Three children
came Of this union, but they had gray
hair. no teeth, were stopped, yellow
and wrinkled. decrepit in movement
and could eat only bread and vegeta-

THE EVERY EVENINGS SIZE

The smallest sheet I'm many respects
in the city of wilmington-and for
that matter on the Atlantic coast
is the Every Evening; but heretofore
in the effort to boost It's waning circu-
lation it has been content with lying
about itself, and has left its neighbors
alone But the fact that the other
papers have been cutting in en- It has
made it desperate, 50 yesterday It pub
lished a table purporting to give the
number OF copies sold In this city and
suburbs by the various papers.
1t took an expert TO compile those
figures. BY adding few Every Even
ings to the list of each agent and by
cutting of few Of the other papers, a
startling result is obtained. Perhaps
our contemporary has sent spies
into the various newspaper Offices and
has gotten the newsbOys in and had
heart to heart talks with them. Now,
since the EVERY Evening chooses to set
forth the circulation OF other papers,
we wish to make an estimate OF the
Every Evenings circulation. We esti-
mate that taking from It's list all the
padded circulation. il sells about 1000
papers daily, and at the rate that the
demand for Evening Journals is grow

contemporary will not be publishing
figures. unless it manufactures them
outright.
There are some business methods
that show enterpriseswhile others are
contemptible. When cne business

AN Ex.ooNvIor REFoRMER

Some twenty years ago a burglar
was released from an Eastern peniten-
tary, and was confronted with the
problem OF securing work to provide
him with food and shelter. He had
been I'm prison before and while under
going confinement, had resolved TO quit
his evil practices, but found that the
whole world seemed to know OF his
failing, and, made desperate by hun
ger, he went back to his old trade. But
the second time he resolved that he
would really reform and lead an honor
able life. In his prison he pondered
over the fate Of discharged prisoners,
and made a resolution that he would
endeavor to provide a home and en-
ployment for them.
II was great undertaking for re-
leased convict. but he went to work.
In the suburbs OF Philadelphia he su-
cured a tumble down shanty on some
terms and went TO making brooms. he
didn't drink and he didn't steal. but
When one by one his old associates
were released he asked them TO join
him. They We're to bear part OF the
expenses and to get what they earned
Thus he continued for years. when his
work began to be noticed. Finally a
number OF gentlemen got together and
provided him with a suitable home for
his enterprise. II is called the House
Of Industry, and the name Ats. The
men get what they earn and earn
what they get II they are lazy or
drunken. out they go. but II they are
sober and Industrious the superlntend-
ent and founder secures them places
and watches after them as closely as
possible. It is said that about seventy
FIVE per cent. OF the men coming to this
institution are really reformed.
That man began his wonderful work
nearly twenty years ago: he has from
time to time been trusted with large
sums OF money. but he has remained
devoted 10 the one Idea OF reforming
HIS associates The other day the
judges OF Philadelphia appointed this
man as member OF the Prison Board,
when instantly there was a protest.
Certain OF the members OF the board
held their noses, and said they could
not consent TO serve with a jailbird
And yet behind him he had twenty
years OF self-sacrinoe and usefulness
For twenty years he had been faithful
to every trust Therefore. we may ask:
How long does 1t take a man to prove
that he has reformed. and what must
he do TO prove It?

EDITORIAL OPINION
"Wster" and Good viii.

From the Chicago Journal.
one OF the able instructors ut tho Uni-
versity OF Chicago has created a stir by
defending THE practice OF watering pe-
curqies on the ground that this praotico Is
but "capitakizing good will"
But good will and water" seldom go
together One is opposed 20 the other
Good will undeniably an important ~
set in business, Is the result Of gtvtng
value received to the public. This policy,
whother followed by dry goods store or
TRACTION company, gives margin for no
considerable percentage OF water. =" There
arc exceptions, OF course to all rules
but as a general proposition, It can be
said that "watered securities" are based
not on good WILL but ON some sort OF a
MONOPOLY monopoly through fran
chises. patent rights, or control OF nat
ural resources.
Take tho local traction stocks, for in
stance. Can the water be explained on
the score OF good will? Were Chicagoans
over accused OF chenshing good will for
the traction companies? No; the water
stands for the franchise right which

panies. Again, the watered securities Of
the Standard OIL Company, the corpora
tion which made the University OF Chi
cago what It is today, represent monopoly
mot good will. Where there is monopoly
seldom Is there good will. The more a COM
pany waters" dts securities the less pop
ular, as a rule, does that company become
with the public because the added securi-
ties are made possible only by a monop-
oily which enables the corporation to exact
more than legitimate profits. water"
stauts at the line where honest earnings
cease.
Go Through the whole list OF corpora
tons and you will sind that those compan-
les which are not intrenched back OF mo-
nopolies have little or no water in their
stocks. The absence Of monopoly makes
competition possible. Composition makes
dishonest profits impossible. Water Is
possible only through exorbatant profits.

rnE sENATE LEApER

Senator German is taking his leader
ship seriously. and holds conferences
daily. at which he endeavors TO per-
suade all the Democratic senators to
act as unit He has outlined sort
of policy which, however. can hardly
be dignifled by that name. Under It
the Democrats will be asked to support
certain amendments TO the Colombian
treaty with the understanding that II
they are lost. then they win vote for
the original treaty. This looks like an
effort to find an issue. since II amend
ments were adopted they would prob
ably not be acceptable to Colombia, and
at best the canal project would be de-
layed TIL after the meeting OF the next
Congress. German probably knows
that this kind OF opposition will
amount to nothing, and will not Ad-
vantage his party, but he has beer
made the leader. and leader must DC
something.
The second part OF his program is I,
defeat the ratification of the Cubar
treaty If it is possible to do so. IL,
stands a better chance OF success IL
this. With one Republican opposin,
the ratification. it VIII require fou
Democrats to carry It through. Thes,
four Democrats, the Republicans CLAIM
10 have, and since they all have Ion,
been members Of the Senate. and ar
not usually subject 20 dictation, Nj
German may find that he cannot vii
them over. These are Morgan am
Pettus, Of Alabama. Cockerell. Of Mis-
souri,, and Berry, OF Arkansas. Their
are a number OF Republicans who vii
favor the measure under protests so /
is likely to be very close vote
Should it be defeated. It is difficult 4
see what capital Mr.. German woul,
make out OF it. 1t is true that tn
Senate is Republican. but it does no
possess two-thirds OF the membership
and, consequently, the third which /
responsible for the defeat OF meri
torious measure, must receive all Til
