Plenty of Gold in Iowa.

Burlington Hawkeye: And now
there comes to the front one William
Beeson, who thinks that he has dis
covered gold in Monroe county. No
doubt he has. There is gold every
where in Iowa. An old German
poem tolls of an old man who gath
ers his sons about him as he feels
death approaching. He tells them
that treasure is buried in the vine
yard. When asked to explain more
definitely he replies, Dig" and he
died. And the boys toll and dig in
the vineyard, and they prosper amaz
ingly, and in the course of time they
learn to appreciate the old mans
wisd m. Thus, there is gold in ev-
ery acre of Iowa soil. All that it re-
quires is steady digging, and it will
be sure to be found.

An Orntor,s Voice.

"In the church," says Emerson in his
essay on eloquence, 81 call him only q
good reader who can read sense and
poetry into any hymn in the hymn
book" The test is severe one, for there
are hymns which are wanting both in
sense and poetry. The essayist doubt
less intended to call attention to that
charm of good voice which enchains
attention md indicates rare sensi-
bility in the reader. "The voice, like
the face, betrays the nature and dis
position and soon indicates what is the
range Of the speakers mind. Many
people have no ear for music, but every
one has an ear for skillful reading"
John Quincy Adams was said to be
SO good reader that no man in his
time could read the Bible with such
powerful effect. Mr.. Emerson, who
heard the ex-president speak when his
fine voice was broken by age, records
that "the wonders he could achieve
with. that cracked and disobedient or
gan showed what power might have
belonged to it In early manhood"

Child Labor.

In BENIGHrED RUSSIA the employ
ment of children under IL years of
age in any industrial establishment,
public or private, is absolutely pro-
hibited. Children from IL, to Is
years of age may not be employed
more than 6 hours in each "a, ex-
elusive of meal-times, school at
tendance, and rest, with not more
than 4 hours continuous labor at
any time and no work permitted be-
tween 9 p. m. and 5 a. M, nor on
Sundays and legal holidays. In es-
tablishments which are operated for
more than lS hours per day, with
two shifts, children may be en-
ployed for 8 hours per day, provid-
ed not more than A hours con-
tinuous work is required. The OBJ
ject of this is to encourage estab-
lishments to do away with contin-
uous work for "a hours, and thus do
away with night work and shorten
the hours of daily labor to 8 hours
per day.
In Russia the law of 1882 pro-
hibits the employment Of children
under IL in factories, etc., and
limits the hours of labor of children
from II to Is to s hours per day,
and with provision for factory in
spection and other protective
measures. The law of June 3,
1885, prohibits night work for
women and children under II in
textile industries.
Furthermore the ministers oi
finance and of the interior are di.
rected to designate the kinds o.
work recognized as dangerous tc
the health Of children not yet II
years Of age, to whom such work il
accordingly prohibited. 36 cate
gories Of industries were thus in
dicated by the order Of May IA
1898. F. ]. Stimson, Report United
States Industrial Commission
Vol. 16.
In comparison with which, accord
ing to a magazine published by thu

November:
In Iowa, FAIR IOWA, there is NJ
restriction of age in the employmen
of children, except that boys unde
IL can not be employed in mines
Girls can be so employed. Chill

school attendance of IA weeks dur
ing the school year is compulsor
for all children under ID.
There is no prohibition of nigh
work, nor of labor on Sundays an
legal holidays. There is no re
striction of the number of consecr
tive hour that child may be CON
PEELED to work, nor stipulation fc
intervals of rest. And last, low

Reduced Life Insurance for Total Alb
stainers.

Some life insurance companies
are proposing to offer a reduced rate
to men who are total abstainers
Referring to this proposition, the
San Antonio, (Texas.) Express says:
1T may prove to be some induce
ment to total abstainers to insure
against death when the insurance
companies make a specially low
rate for the teetotalers, and it may
be an inducement, also to total alb
stainers from strong drink by those
who may reap their reward in the
lesscned cost of life insurance. But
above and beyond it may be the
moral effect of disproving by
unerring statistics the shallow fall
lacy that modern indulgence in in
toxicating fluids is conducive to
long life. This will afford text
for the temperance people and en-
able them to successfully meet an
argument which has heretofore
stumped them tosome extent. With
out intending to discourage in the
least any effort that may possibly
advance the cause of temperance, an
interesting story may be appropriate.
One negro approached another and
remarked: Dat eye doctor says | got
to stop drinkin' or Use g'wn'e stone
blind The second negro asked,
What did you tell him?" The first
negro replied: "Well, thought about
it awhile and den l said, Well, Doc
tor, spec Use seen bout all dere is
to be seen in dis world.'"

Confesses to Many Crimse.

A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
Gustave Marx, one of the three car-barn
bandits under sentence of DEATH declared
in confession made today that he was one
of the three men who held up the Chicago
and Northwestern express train at Tower
", near Dekalb, four years ago. The
crime, which has posed into history as one
of the most desperate ever committed in or
about Chicago, has never been fastened
upon any one of the many suspects arrest
ed, and the identity OF the bandits has re-
manned mystery to the police until now.
Marx says both his confederates in the
crime are dead, and refuses to give their
names. One of them. he declares, died
with his boots on" The railway authorities
admitted loss of s1D2, oG0 by the robbery.
Marx said the robbers secured only S., 00J.
the rest of the money having been destroyed
by the explosion of dynamite used to crack
the safe.
Marx also confessed to having killed two
other men besides the three victims of the
car-barn murders.

THE USE OF REDUcERs.
Fire Department Enabled to Employ
Engines of Other Cities.

Under the plan proposed by Commissioner
Macfarland for providing reducers which
will permit of the adjusting of hose of diff
ferent sizes to the fire hydrants in this city.
the District fire department will soon be
ready to- use engines that may come to
Washington from nearby cities in case of a
large confiagratfon here. The reducers for
the engines of Baltimore, Philadelphia and
Alexandria are now being made and Chief
Belt reported to Commissioner Macfarland
this morning that by the end of the week
the District fire department will be provid-
ed with reducers for all the engines that
those three cities could possibly spare in
case of big fire here
The District fire department has arranged
for feducers for eight engines from Balti-
more, for eight engines from Philadelphia
and for two engines from Alexandria. The
gauges of the hose and hydrants diff
ferent for each of these cities, and the ma
chinist of the District fire department. Mr.
Robinson. under the direction of Chief Belt,
has obtained accurate measurements and
has fully met all the requirements in the
case of each of the cities, that engines
from any one of them can be Immediately
ntted out upon their arrival here and put
into action at any of the District fire hy-
drants without loss of time. The reducers
will be kept al Machinist Robinsons head
quarters, No. engine house, ready for in
slant use
The Wilmington fire department, which is
still made up entirely of volunteers has
not yet furnished the measurements for it's
engine hose connections, but is expected to
do so. In view of the fact that the District
might have to call upon the city of New
York for aid in case of an extended con-
hagratiOn the measurements of the New
York engine hose connections will also be
obtained, and reducerS prepared to meet
their requirements.
The Baltimore fire department reports
that 1t has provided reducers which will
enable it to meet the gauges of the fire en-
gines of the District whenever they have
to go over again.
Within a few days. it is stated the de-
300 new hydrants in the business section of
the city. The MIGRANTS now in use in the
city have outlet of only 21a inches These
new hydrants will have outlets of 21a and
inches, and they will be placed at dis
tances of not more than POO feet apart
The reason for providing the new hy-
drants with outlets of inches it is learn
ed, is to provide for the anticipated high
pressure water service in the business sec
ton of the city. There is no high-pressure
service in the city at present, but it is ex-
pected that Congress will in the near fu-
ture deem 1T advisable to provide such a
service in the business section of Wash
ingtoh.
Fifteen of the new hydrants have al
ready arrived. and the rest are expected
here within a few weeks, or as soon as they
can be completed at the manufactures.

Terra Gotta Fireproof.
Mr.. Ashford states that from his inspec-
ton he believes some improvement should
be made in terra Gotta fireproofing and the
spans of such arches should be restricted
Hollow terra Gotta blocks he said, when
heated by fire and suddenly cooled by the
hose stream broke and pieces flew in all
directions. In concluding his report Mr.
Ashford says:
TO bring the lessons home, I would
say that our provision of law limiting
the height of buildings has been shown
10 advantage, as the limit of our buildings in
residential sections to 80 feet and the height
OF ITO feet in business sections brings the
buildings within the range of fire-fighting
appliances, and best of all, even in the
extreme limit of $50 feet allowed on some
or the very broad avenues, the required
thickness of brick masonry or self-sustain--
ing walls is not so great that an extrava-
CANT amount of space is lost The steel
frame is not therefore a necessity in build
ings of safe and reasonable height
Suggests Precautions.
"A more general applica ton of our regu-
lation for fire shutters and wire glass would
located outside the walls of buildings or
supplied with the safety appliances speci-f
fed IN the regulations should be more gem
eral in closely built up sections and build
ings with highly combustible storage. More
brick partition walls should be used and
stairs and elevators should always be sur
rounded on two or three sides with brick
Brick fire walls should separate the roofs
of houses more completely and the air
space in roof of same building be divided
with brick. If stud partitions must be used
they should be brick-nogged or filled with
mineral wool for fire stops. Where steel
frame or skeleton construction is used coll
unms should be protected from fire from
without by nine inches of brickwork and
from within by at least four inches of
brick and an air space and some means
should be devised for at least two year in
spections of splice plates. brackets and riv-
eted connections.
AS lumber grows scarcer and poorer each
year, some substitute should be found in
''papier mache'' for doors and trimmings
and stairs and floors should be built of
cement or terra Gotta in all buildings Our
regulations concerning terra Gotta flue lin
ings should be more carefully observed, and
we will then prevent fires instead of putting
them out.
