FOR SUCCESS.

Lns<AAnAN0 TUX oOCCE6S.
Fathers and mothers handle their
children in a very different manner.
Mothers, it seems, soften their chill
dren with endearments and rescue
them from discipline. Fathers are
not so %lenient, having rubbed against
the world.
There are two schools of opinion,
not well defined, perhaps, but not tho
less in existence, about the proper
method of training youth to sustain
the shock of battle in life and escape
the strong and victorious.
Some are for the Fastening process.
Throw the boy into the stream
they say, "and let him swim for it;
the way to teach one to bear hard
knocks is by experience with hard
blows, and if he is ever TO amount to
anything he must fight for his life. "
The defenders of the hardening
process can point to the fact that the
over'solieitous parent who follows the
child's footsteps endlessly and takes
care that the breath of heaven does
not too sharply blow on him. who
stands between him and all response
bility, acts for him and does his
thinking for him, finds that the most

DEWEY CARRIES DAY
His Idea of Heavy Fighting
Ships Is Adopted.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. Add
miral Deweyss suggestion in favor of
heavy fighting ships for the navy pre-
vailed today with the house committee
on naval affairs, over the recommended
ton of the general board submitted by
Secretary Moody. The naval appro
priation bill was completed by the
committee after a hearing granted Ad-
miral Dewey.
1t carries $95,O00,000. The ships au-
thorized are one battleship, two armor-
ed cruisers, three scout cruisers and
two squadron Golfers.
The appropriation of 100000 made
last year for two submarine boats was
appropriated, the boats to be pur-
chased at the discretion of the secre-
tary Of the navy. This building pro-
gramme gives a total of $4,000 tons of
heavy fighting ships, as compared with
$4,000 tons last year. The heavy con-
struction provided will cost $21, ESQ, 900,
while the lighter construction will
bring the cost of the building pro-
gramme up to $2S,000,000.
The recommendations of the general
board was for one battleship, one
armOred cruiser, three protected cruis-
ers, four scout cruisers and two col
liers.
Provision was made for an armor
plate factory to cost S., 000, 900, which
the secretary of the navy is author
lied to construct in case he cannot Sc
cure armor from private bidders at a
reasonable price. An addition of 5000
men Is authorized to the personnel Of
the navy ~

Commercial Club VIII See the
Worlds Fair.

If present plans of the Commercial
club are carried out, more than 200
members Of that body will attend the
st. Louis fair in a body. The plans
have already progressed far enough to
insure the success of the effort to Sc
cure delegation large enough to make
creditable showing for the club but

of securing the promise of every mem
Der OF the club to accompany the party.
b. H. Schrieber, representing the
club, has recently been in st. Louis
for the purpose of making arrange
ments for the reception of the club
members, and his report is most salts
factory.
Secretary Slime stated yesterday that
the trip would be made either some
time in September or early in October.
The party will go as representatives
OF the st. Paul Commercial club. and
are expected to make a good showing
for the city.
While the arrangements are not vet
completed, some of the members are
IN favor of making the down trip on
the river and returning by rail.
Mr.. Schrieber says that the st. Louis
people assured him that the visitors
would be given a warm welcome. and
that they would be royalty entertained.

AWARDS CONTRACT
City Makes Deal for Sidewalk
Building.

The contract for constructing all the
cement and stone sidewalks that the
council may order this year before
Nov. L, was awarded by the assembly
last night to L. G. Washington, whose
bid Of $4O,396 on quantity estimated
by the city engineer, was the lowest.
While Washingtons bid for construc-
ton of the sidewalk was s cents per

was SO per square foot, Washing
tons bid on other material essential in
the construction of the walks was so
much lower that it brought the aggre-
gate of his bids below that of Berchem.
]. P. Berchem's bid aggregated SAL
352.22. w. B. Curtis bid, az cents per
square foot of block pavement, was
$5O,572, and Chris Johnson wanted IL

PREPARES TO PAY
FOR PANAMA CANAL
Secretary Shaw Calls on the Banks for
Thirty Million Dollars.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 4.-Sec-
rotary Shaw today sent a letter to all
national bank repositories holding
special government deposits regarding
prospective calls for funds on account
of the Panama canal purchase. He
says:
1T seems probable that the govern
ment will be called upon in the near
to the construction of an interoceanic
canal. In addition there are outstand-
ing $5,000,000 of the United States
bonds, which mature on Feb. /, 1904,
and congress Is considering a PROPOSE
ton to loan between $4,000000 and
$5,000,000 to the Louisiana Purchase
exposition. To meet these probable
demands, it will be necessary to with
draw at least $30,000,000 from depos-
tory banks"
The secretary asks that immediate
preparation for payment be made and
adds:
IF you desire to sell at once a por-
ton Of the securities now held by the
government against your deposit, you
Will so inform this office and arrange
ments will be made for the immediate
transfer, so as to avoid actual with
drawals from channels of trade. The
department will surrender no United
States bonds held as security for de-
posts with any bank until such bank
has withdrawn all state and municipal
bonds now held as such security, but
securities of the District of Columbia,
Philippine islands and Hawaii will be
retained If desired"

The new wagons are required by

The resolution was passed, however,

Written consent of the street rail-

the company to pay its pro rata share

regard. to the accident on Third street
at Pleasant avenue "wednesday. This ac-
cldent Is the direct result of the street
railway company ignoring and violating
the ordinance which should and does
compel 1t to stop to take on or to let off
passengers at the street crossings.
This ordinance has been persistently
violated at Pleasant avenue. where for
about two years, the company has failed
and refused to stop, but persists in run
ming cars to nearly Selby avenue. where
Pleasant avenue people must reach them.
The accident of yesterday is not the
rrSt which has occurred as the result of
this collation. of law. On Dec. ,. 1902, l
met with an accident which is to be at
tributed to this violation of law and dis
regard of the rights of citizens and tax
payers. IhlS accident confined me to my
room for seven months five of which
We're spent in bed, and required the serv-
ices OF a nurse for twenty three weeks.
entailing on me a total money loss OF
about $500 and months Of suffering. I
am now a cripple hObbling around on
crutches, and likely to remain in this
condition for the balance of my days.
Some honest, simple minded reader
may ask what the street railway COM
pany did towards any reimbursement OF
my loss. 1t taught me point of law
which my legal education had not taught
me before: That passenger who went
aboard street railway car with a knowl
edge Of the fact that the company was
violating a city ordinance could not plead
such violation in a suit for damages /
make this statement for the benefit Of
Othef citizens as ignorant or har-SpllttlnS
points of law and decisions of courts as
l was.
If this is law, and courts have so de-
cided, what right has man who falls on
an icy sidewalk to recover from the city?
He goes upon the sidewalk with a knOWl-
edge of the fact that it is icy, yet he
may recover. The difference in decisions
doubtlessly arises from the fact that it
is the public, the taxpayer, who suffers
in the last case. while it is street rail-
way company that would suffer in the
former if it were not for this nice point
of hair-splitting law as interpreted by
the courts.
VIII Corporation Attorney Michael see
to it that the ordinance ordering the
stopping of street cars at crossings is
enforced?

Hereafter the city comptroller will
furnish to the assembly at each meet
ing a statement as to the condition of
each of the funds from which appro-
priations are drawn. The unexpended
balance in each fund and the bills in
the hands of the comptroller charged
to each will be specified, to guide the
assembly.
We have fOVerdraWn certain funds
during the past on account of a lack
of definite information at hand" said
Assemblyman Frank Arnold, who of
fered a resolution requesting the comp
troller to furnish to each assemblyman
a statement at each meeting concern
ing the funds. IF we have such a
statement at each meeting we will
know just how much we have to spend
and We will not cause the comptroller
to be embarrassed"
"The comptroller is always at the
meetings, and he is able to furnish us
with the information we need" said
Assemblyman Doran. 1--WE should not
impose any duty upon him that may
require extra expense, and he should
be consulted before we pass the reso-
lution.'
Comptroller Betz answered that ex-
ira figuring would be required to pre-
pare the statements, and that it would
cost something to have blanks printed
for that purpose.
Whats the use of having a state
ment made out for each member of the
assembly," asked Assemblyman Do
ran. Zone statement to the body would
be sufficient"
Il don't care for more than one, and
if no other member will be in need of
the statement, I shall be satisfied to
have the comptroller furnish one which
| could consult" replied Assemblyman
Arnold.
The question was raised as to wheth-
er the assembly could pass the resolu-
ton without reference to the board of
aldermen, and Assemblyman Arnold
retorted: Cannot the assembly obtain
information it needs from city Off
clal without the consent of the board of
aldermen"' The resolution recurring
the comptroller to furnish one copy at
each meeting was finally passed by a
vote of to 8.
Ignores Legal Restraint.
In the face of a ruling from Corpo-
ration Attorney Michael that it would
be illegal to appropriate $4,000 from
the general fund to furnish four new
patrol wagons to the police department,

luton authorizing the proper officials
to advertise for bids for the wagons.
