A GREAT WORK

Hardly anything on this earth ia more pathetic and pitiful than the out cast and waif population of a great city. Little children of shjftless. drunken and debased parents, wander ing the streets without care or guid- ance, hungry. ragged and forlorn; girls who might be good women if properly cared for. travelling the downward path to ruin; boys, who have in them the making of good and useful citizens. learning all the ways of the criminal and going the road to the gallows-all these are to be found in the streets and slums and dens of our large cities. Nothing connected with our civiliza- tion is more deplorable and pathetic than is this aggregation of homeless and helpless items of humanity, and nothing appeals more strongly to the sympathies of good people of all creeds and beliefs.
 How to help, to rescue and upraise these homeless waifs is a problem that is all the time perplexing the humani- tarians everywhere. In England they are finding a practical solution through what is known as the National Waifs' Association, originally designed and organized by Dr. Barnado. Now it has branches throughout the United King dom, and the work of rescue goes on unceasingly in every portion of Great Britain. The homeless and parentless little ones, boys and girls, are taken to the homes where they are trained cared for and to some extent educated. and then sent to selected homes in Can ada. Already as we learn from the National Waifs' Magazine. over 15.OOO children have been sent to the Domin- ion where they find homes and are started on the road 10 good citizenship. It is a great and good work. and the pictures and details given in the Mag azine are as interesting as many of them are pitifuL.

Those Pecnage Cases.

Troy, May d' ASVf' Editor The Advertiser:
 I see published in your paper Of the 1st inst, a letter from Elba signed Jus tice which in effect charges me with a reckless disregard for truth ln reporu; pnd charges against Frank Rainer and Jen Ham of that place, before Commission CT Tutwiler, on charges of peonage.
 Inasmuch as this letter makes tnis charge. I feel that should not let 1t pass unnottced.
 I had no connection with the cases whatever, nor any interest In any per son connected with them any more than in any one else. I was not pres ent during any part of the trials, and my information was obtained almost word for word from MT. Sternfelo' the the Assistant District Attorney for the government.
 Indeed at the time I obtained the in- formation, I thought that the trials had been had, nothing to the contrary having been saio in my conversation with Mir Sternfeld. Just before time to mail my special I went over to MT Tutwiler's office to ascertain what defendants, not having asked as to this previously. and before I reached the office I met Mir. Sternfeld who inform ed me that the trials had not been con cluded, and that they would be resum- ed the next morning.
 have also examined the steno- graphic report of the evidence and in- Ienueu Senulng SyuOpslS ot " LVA publication but find that to do the mat ter justice would require an article too voluminous for publication.
 If the special was incorrect, I was not responsible for it, as I presumed that the Assistant District Attorney knew his cases. However, if Justice will have all of the testimony pub lished I shall be willing that our state ments be compared. and see whether he was. not as reckless in his state ment. as was the special sent in by my self.

against Hearst. It declares that there Is no Hearst sentiment or Hearst news paper in the State, and that 1t would require a careful search to find . man who would go as Hearst delegate to St. Louis. Then 1t adds:
 wherefore, therefore has any one that the people of this State are sup porting Hearst for the Presidency. Just because we are fools generally? |? Is that the reason?
 As we do not look on the Democrats of the Palmetto State as fools. either generally or particularly. we think there is no danger that any of them will be seduced into the insignificant column of Hearsters.

QUAY READY TO DIE.
Pennsylvania Senator Makes Ar
 rangements for the End.

arrangements for the End. Washington Special to Chicago Tribune. Senator Matthew Stanley Quay, one of the most picturesque figures in American politician in the United States, is calmly and deliberately making preparations for his death. For the last year the Pennsylvania boss has been failing in health and today he is so weak and emaciated that he realizes methodical manner characteristic of him he is arranging his business affairs, mak- ing provision for his friends, and secur-
 ing appointments for his political fol- lowers.
 The utmost secrecy is observed regard
 ing the malady of Senator Quay. and
 even the name of his physician is con-
 cealed. He is suffering with asthma
 and a serious liver complaint.
 Since the extra session of Congress con-
 vened Senator Quay has been unable to
 attend to his public duties. and last fall
 he turned over the management of politi-
 cal affairs in Pennsylvania to Senator
 Penrose. who now Is the active leader
 direction of Senator Quay. MT. Quay
 came to Washington soon after Congress
 convened and remained here for some
 time, but he rarely appeared in the Sem
 his home in Florida, and remained there
 a month. He returned to Washington
 and was here a-few days, but his condi- ton was such that his appearance startled his friends; there was absolutely no improvement.
 Shortly after arriving here he collapsed. and there was grave fear the end was at hand. He rallied, however. and has not been confined to his bed since that
 time and is able to take short walks and drives
 One of the strongest indications of the fact that the Senator is making prepara- tions for the end is that he secured the appointment of his secretary, William F. Wright, as consul at Munich. Wright has been Senator Quay's secretary for twelve years and the Senator has never permitted him to leave him for any length of time. But he has now parted with him permanently.
 diet by his physician. as his stomach is He rebels against restrictions placed upon him by his physicians. He is an in-
 veterate smoker, and it Is well known the Senator is in the habit of taking several drinks of wine and whiskev every day He has been restricted to one cigar and one drink. but in order to take full advantage of the privileges allowed him hv his physician the Senator pur- che sed the biggest cigar he can find and
 nnkes 1t last all day.
 Senator Quay Is an indomitabie fighter and he never has known defeat except when the Senate declined to seat him after he had been appointed to that body by the Governor of Pennsylvania in 1892 after the legislature had been dead locked during the entire session.

Hours at Library.

Editor Advertiser.
 I see by The Advertiser of yesterday that the City Council failed to unani- mously support the motion to request the trustees of the Carnegie Library to keep 1t open after p. m. every day, and on Sundays.
 If the Aldermen knew how heartily in sympathy with them the citizens are with MT Kohn's resolution, they would not hesitate to pass it. In fact, some of the members of the original library associa- ton have for years been endeavoring to secure the adoption of hours better suit ed to the working people,, bug all this time there was only one librarian;
 Indeed. I may suggest that at this sea son of the year, o'clock Is too early a closing hour for the convenience of anybody.
 | hope the City Council will always look out for the interests of the people Except for the support that the city fur nished we would never have had Car negie Library.
 With a librarian and two assistants. the suggestion of one of the Aldermen as to the employment of one for special night and Sunday services. seems superhuous,

Kansas In Debt To Alfalfa.

Topeka Herald
 'Ar' Sears. a mail agent on the Central branch road between Atchison and Lenora, says that alfalfa, hogs. cows and chickens have made that part of Kansas prosperous MT. Sears said recently:
 "The Central branch begins in Atchisou and ends abruptly in the little town of Le- nora. The line is 295 miles long, and radi. ating from 1t. as the little bones from the vertebrae of a herring. are l05 rural mail routes. The mail cars have been increased in size to give additional room for the busi- ness carried by the rural mail delivery. but we still lack space! The quantity of mail carried by the rural deliverys is enormous We handle mail from all parts of the world and for all parts of the world. One letter may be for the Island of Guam and the next for Blue Eagle. Minn. Then We run across one for Washington and another for Honolulu. The next may be for Farming ton, Kan. and in a bunch with one for Red lands. Cal It keeps us chasing from one end of the long case to the other in sort,ng and distributing the mail. Everybody seems to be prosperous and everybody writes lAt. ters.
 But 1t has not been thIs way alwav, The country at one time was not so pros- porous as 1t is now. That was before r n Coburn taught the farmers the value of ai- faifa It is alfalfa that has been the sal Vation or the land. It is planted all alonv the road. but 1t is of more benefit in ths West than nearer the Missouri river. It is good everywhere, but 1t is particularly val uable out West where the rainfall ia not so great. " S ''
 Alfalfa has made profitable dairies all over the western country. Every day our train carries carload of cream, and alfalfa has also made the hog industry profitable and safe. Hogs feed the year round on all falfa pastures Added to 1t all Is the poul- try Industry. Other sections of the State may boast of peroleum and natural gas and of salt and all that kind, but in North h' ern and Southwestern Kansas the people conquer by alfalfa hogs. cows and hens"

If he retains his vigor easier government service the danser- ous theory Is advanced that when a clerk reaches the age of SO or 7O he should be retired. to make room for some other favored son. and that his This argues that he need save nothing while he holds his place, a contentioo that would be demoralizine both tn him and to the nation.

rouNp ANorHrR oNE.

The latest microbe to be exploited,
 so far as we have kept up with the pro-
 cession. is the discovery by French
 man of what he calls "the pearl mil l crobe" In brief, his. theory is that
 the serum or substance which forms
 pearl is really a collection of in- hniteiy small microbes or living germs. These he proposes to cultivate and null tiply and set to work when and where he chooses, and he claims that by this | means he can produce pearls without limit and at trifiing cost.
 This is the greatest scheme sprung on the public in some time, and there are wonderful possibilities in it. When fine pearls can be grown at will, with as much certainty as one grows pota- toes, there can be no reason why all of us may not wear them. The operation is something like putting eggs in an
 incubator and taking out chickens. h True, pearls are as yet somewhat more costly than chickens, but if this scheme
 should prove a success. the. time may come when a string of fine pearls will be not more. expensive than dozen
 eggs. They wiir'do for playthings for the children, and may even be built large enough to play ping7pons with. But there is another side>to such a possibility. Fine pearls are now very costly, and are to be worn, only by the rich and great, but if they become as common as marbles. of course the exclusives will no longer care for them. If some rich or great mans wife, wear ing a necklace of rare pearls worth some millions of dollars, sees her cook or washwoman with finer string around her neck, there will be g. large supply of disgust laying around loose. They will not only cease to be an em- blem of wealth and nobility. but will lose all their value as ornaments, except among the poorer classes. However.
 we suspect the Frenchman will not get his pearl factory to going very soon.
