MORE THAN TEN YEARS BETWEEN pAN,cs

1t time to note the cheering that more than ten
years have passed since last great panic began in the
United States
By the first of April 1898 the troubles of the bust
ness world had developed enough to show shrewd OBJ
servers that great crisis be endured Wall street
had been shaken terribly by great failures The money
market was in bad condition and blight of fear and
Generalization spreading The federal govern
ment was in straits for income meet its expenditures
ITS credit was changing for the It's money system
was in bad state and threat of a scaling down
Of all obligations by the destruction of the gold standard
was contributing largely panic and commercial and
industrial stagnation.
1t is needless TO into particulars concerning the
contrast between such conditions those which exist
now The difference is complete so evident that
no one can fail to appreciate il if he remembers the
spring of 1898 in the business world There is nothing in
the state OF trade and industry TO remind any one Of the
evil days ten years ago.
1t has long been an accepted theory of panics and
periods OF commercial and financial that they be-
gin every ten years atabout such intervals large
part OF the business Of the United States have re-
called with misgvings the that the last financial
CONFUSION came ten years and they have been less
confident OF the continuation of the good times which
have been enjoyed for the last few years than they
would have been if the usual interval between panics
were not just ending The feeling of uneasipess was
natural in the light of American commercial and fpan
cial records
But it is time to consider the point settled that there

Mr.. lin EIanauan's Goat.

| lTy.o vLrieof shrdl cmfwyopup upoupupu
Tim Flanagan's goat. despite its mis-
chievous propensities. had been for many
years the pet and pride OF the Flanagan
family. But on this occasion its voora-
cious appetite and calm audacity had car
ried it too far. Tim, after carefully
brushing up his old plug hat in prepara-
ton for the long awaited parade Of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians. had incau-
tiously placed it on the bench in the rear
of the house. a few moments later the
goat discovered it.
The most virtuous and self-restrained of
goats-which Flanigan's was not-would
have yielded to the temptation. Soon the
hat had gone to the bourne from which
no plug hat is likely to return. Then the
goat added to the measure of its iniqui-
ties by chewing up a brightly colored red
shirt which was hanging on the family
wash line. Although the erring goat did
not deserve to have it so, the destruction
of the red shirt ultimately proved its own
salvation.
When Flanagan discovered the loss of
his cherished tile. the one in which he
had expected to shine in the Hibernian
parade. his heart was filled with wrath.
Then Mrs. Flanagan. who had come out
TO reprove him for the language he was
using, noticed the absence of the red
shirt. At this double blow Tins wrath

THE NAME OF OLD GLORY.
Written by James Whitcomb Riley in 1898, and Read by
Him at Shiloh Dedication Ceremonies April 6, 1903

Old Glory, say who,
By the ships and the crew,
And the long blended ranks of the gray and the blue
Who gave you, Old Glory, the name that you bear
With such pride everywhere
AS you cast yourself free the rapturous air
And leap out full-length, we're wanting you to?-
Who gave you that name with the ring of the same
And the honor and fame so becoming to your
Your stripes stroked in rpples of white and of red,
With your stars at their glittering best overhead
By day by night,
Their delightfuleSt light
Laughing their little square heaven of blue.
Who gave you the name of Old Glory?-say, who
Who gave you the name of Old Glory?
The old banner lifted, and fatering then
In vague lisps and whispers fell silent again.
Old Glory-speak out!-we are asking about
How you happen to favor" name, say,
That sounds familiar and careless and gay
AS cheer it, and shout in wild breezy way
We-the crowd, every man OF us, calling you that
We-Tom Dick and Harry-each swinging his hat
And hurrahing "Old Glory" like you kim
When-Lord!-we all know we're common as SIM
And yet it just seems like you humor all
And watt your thanks, hail you and fall
Into line, with you over us, waving us on
Where glorifed sanctifed betters have gone
And this is the we're wanting to know
(And we're wanting it SOL
Where our own fathers went we are willing to go)-
Who gave you the name of Old Glory-O ho-
Who gave you the name Of Old Glory?
The old flag unfurled with a billowy thrill
For instant, then wiStfuly sighed and still.
I'LL,
Old Glory the story we're wanting to hear
Is what the plain facts of your christening we're
For your name-just to hear it,
Repeat it. and cheer it, S tang to the spirit
AS salt a tear
And seeing you fly and the boys marching by.
There's a shout in the throat and blur in the eye
And aching to live for you always-or die,
IT, dying, still keep you waving on high
And So by our love
For you floating above
And the scars of all wars and the thereof
Who gave you the of Old Glory and why
Are thrilled at the of Old Glory?
Then the old banner leaped like sail in the blast
And futtered audible at last
And it spake, with shake of the voice. and it said:
BY the driven snow-whte ard the living blood-red
OF my bars, and their heaven of stars overhead
By the symbol conjoned of them ALL skyward cast,
AS float from the steeple, or flap at the mast
Or droop DER the sod where the long grasses nod
My is old the glory of God

Foam From Horses Mouths.
Keene Will Appeal.

1t is claimed for Keene that, admitting
the honesty of the tests, a trace Of NOR
phne might be due to the use of a certain
leg wash. composed of a small amount of
laudanum. spirit extract of arnica, salt
peter and sugar of lead, dissolved In a large
body of alcohol" 1t is asserted that
ounces of this mixture are frequently en-
ployed with quart of water and that no
objection has been made to this leg wash
by the racing authorities.
Keene will appeal to the Grand Duke
Dmitri Constantinovich, who is protector
of Russian racing.

ADJUSTMENT OF RATES
Conference of Railway officials Held in
This City.

An important conference Of railroad Off
Gals was held yesterday afternoon at the
Raleigh Hotel as stated in The Star Those
Traffic Manager E. B. Cost Of the Sea-
board Air Line; Vice President w. A.
Winburn Of the Central Georgia railroad
Of Savannah, Ga; Vice President w. D.
Hines Of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, of Louisville, KY; Vice President j.
M. Culp Of the Southern; c. B. Compton of
the Central Georgia railroad; T. r. Bar
low Of the Louisville and Nashville; It.
M. Emerson, third vice president of the
Atlantic Coast Line and G. F. Reagan of
the Louisville and Nashville.
The officials declined to discuss the re-
suits of the conference, but said that not
as much business had been transacted as
tendance than had been anticipated. The
principal business discussed was the re-
vision OF the freight rates on lumber for
the south and west, which, with the rates
on other products Of those sections has
given much concern to the traffic roads.
meeting was held in this city some time
ago to consider this question, but 1t came
10 nothing, and the one yesterday was
the second attempt to adjust the rates
This last meeting was much mere salts
factory. and 1t is thought that an adjust
ment will be made at some time in the
near future.
Complaints against the railroads of ship
pers OF cotton concerning the round bale
! were under discussion, as was also the
complaint Of the Georgia Sawmill Asso-
citation concerning an increase in rates. The
result OF the conference will be seen when
the new cotton crop is ready for the
market.

The Willow Tree Alley Fines.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The editorial in your issue Of yesterday,
under the heading inadequate Penalties"
recites supposed facts in relation to the
action had in my court on yesterday, and
is SO foreign to the real facts that 1 beg
to state the facts, so far as the court is
related to the supposed trial. When 1
tell you that no such two men, leaders of
q willow Tree alley mob" were tried by
me yesterday. and therefore no penalty Of
any kind, adequate or inadequate, was i'm
posed, you will readily see the inapplica-
bility Of the conclusions made in the article
Two such alleged men were arraigned, but
one demanded jury trial and gave bond
for his appearance, and the case of the
other was continued. There were four wo-
men arraigned on charge of assault. Three
were convicted upon the testimony largely
OF Fletcher and Springmann. whom they
assaulted. The three were fined $40 each
and in default to be imprisoned In Jail for
four months.
The two men will be tried in due time, and
doubtless such action had as the evidence
in the case merits. Kindly give space to
this correction. CHARLES F. SCOTT,
Judge U. 8. Branch Police Court.

WILL CAUSE INVESTIGATION.
Frederick Day to Prosecute Those Who
Employed His Boy on Schooner.

John Henry Day, the fourteen year-old
boy who was drowned in the Chesapeake
bay near Point Breeze Sunday, as published
in yesterdays Star. was the son of Fred
erick Day of 2426 7th street northwest. The
boy had gone away from home in April
without the consent of his parents and the
police had been appealed to for assistance
In an effort to get him home Many letters
were written and kilograms sent before
the boy was finally located. Then his
father sent money to him to pay his car
fare home.
In a letter to his parents the bow ex-
pressed a desire to remain on the water m
til Christmas. His father said to Cant
BOardman two months ago that he never
expected to see his boy alive again. When
the parents read in The Star the announce
ment Of the boys death they were greatly
shocked. Mr.. Day hurried to police head
quarters and saw the police officials Dis
patches were sent to Baltimore asking for
further information concerning the drown
ing of the boy. but no satisfaction was
obtained.
Mr.. Day was an early caller at headauar-
tiers today. and after consulting Capt.
Boardman and Sergt. Carter he went to
Baltimore. In conversation with a Star
reporter the father said he was of the opin-
ion that the shipping law had been violated
in taking so young boy down the bay
He said he intended to institute proceedings
against all persons who had anything to
do with shipping his boy on the schooner
