that he was taxed, under personal

of ingratitude and forgetfulness of

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL DISASTER.

The horror of the steamboat General
Slocum disaster grows as the details
are unfolded. 1t seems now that near
lyrif not quite 1000 lives were lost.
This would make it without parallel
in maritime disasters during the pres
ent century, and practically without
parallel in the last century. In 1911
a British warship was lost off Jut-
land, carrying down 1000 souls. But
that could hardly be called a fair COM
parison with an excursion boats de-
struction by fire. Possibly a fairer
comparison would be with the sinking
of the excursion steamer Victoria In
the Thames, in 1882. by which 200 lives
were lost. But that disaster was un-
accompanied by the horrors of fire,
as in the case of the General Slocum.
1t is going to be difficult to fix the
responsibility for the disaster. 1t seems
that the fire started from the accidental
overturnlng of a pot of grease; then
there was difficulty about getting out
the life preservers, and the fire-hght-
ing apparatus seems not to have been
in first-class condition. The boat was
old and her woodwork highly infaTn-
mable. Within a very short time she
was seething mass Of danes, with
her large human cargo at the mercy
OF the pitiless water and the more pitt
Hess fire. And something like 1000
lives was the harvest OF death within
short time. The terrible disaster,
shocking as II was, Is not without ne

THE PARKER nooM.

The chances for the nomination of
Judge Parker at ST. Louis are better
than at any time since he became a
pronounced candidate. The fact that
the Democrats of Mississippi and Ar
kansas instructed for him was not
a surprise, and it is practically GER
tain that the Democrats of Texas,
Louisiana and North Carolina will
either instruct for him or elect dele
cations favorable to him.
The indications now are that he will
have the delegations from about all
the states which give Democratic ma
jorities, and also from most of the
states which are classed as doubtful.
That fact alone should be an unan-
swerable argument in favor of his
nomination.
Within the last few days there have
appeared in dispatches from New York
and Washington statements that Mr..
German was an active candidate for
the nomination. and that he was plan
ming secretly to defeat Judge Parker.
ing with Col. Guffey. of Pennsylvania,
former Senator Smith, Of New Jersey.
and other friends. and that he would
have more votes on the second bal
lot than Judge Parker.
There may be foundation for these
statements, though in other dispatches
Mr.. German is quoted as saying that
he isn't opposing Judge Parker. He
may not be opposing him in the sense
that he doesn't think he would be
strong candidate, but he may be work.
ing for himself. It is a fact that Mr..
German isn't outspoken in behalf of
Judge Parker. The inference from
that is that he is either seeking the
ming to bring about the nomination of
a candidate with whom he would be
in closer touch than he would be with
Judge Parker.
And there is no way of arriving at
knowledge of the final destination
of the Illinois deleGatidn. 1t con-
sists of fifty-four members, and al
though it is instructed for Mr.. Hearst,
it is said that forty of it's members
are controlled absolutely by John P.
Hopkins, the Democratic leader of
Illinois. He is not a Hearst man.
Indeed, the accounts seem to agree
that there are very few Hearst men
in the delegation. If it had not been
for the fight among the factions the
Illinois delegation wouldn't have been
instructed for Mr.. Hearst.
OF course, If Mr.. German has an I'M
derstanding with Col. Guffey and Mr..
Hearst, as report says he has, and
the Pennsylvania and Hearst instruct
ed delegates give him their support,
he would have, with the votes which
he controls, big vote if the contest
should be between him and Judge Par
ker. Doubtless it will be pretty we'll
understood within a very few days
what Mr.. Germans plans are. AS
the situation now presents itself the
outlook for the nomination of Judge
Parker is very favorable.

novel case is on in a New Jersey
court. The Women's Town Improve
ment Association of Summit is engaged
in a laudable effort to exterminate the
mosquitoes. Oil and various chemicals
have been poured upon ponds and
streams to kill the mosquitoes. Wheth-
err any insects have died as a conse-
quence may be a question, but some of
the dairy farmers of the community al
lege that there is no doubt at all that
a number of their cows have died from
drinking the polluted waters. And now
the farmers are trying to make the
Women's Town Improvement Associa-
ton pay for the cows, which, of course,
were all thoroughbreds and very val

Goodwin Smith has noticed the re-
port that he is writing his autobiogra-

New York Sun about it: 81 am neither
writing nor intending to write an auto
biography in the proper sense of the
term. The events of such life as mine
cannot be worth recording. 1 may leave
some "reminiscences of men with whom

companion of Kit Carson. is dead at
Fort Garland, Col. Tobin served as a

petitions against hostile Navajos and

exploit was the killing of the last of
the famous Espinoza brothers and his
nephew. who had committed numerous
murders of white people In Southern
Colorado because of religious fanati-
cism. A large reward for them had
been offered by Gov. Adams, the terri
torial executive.

MONEY KINGS At THE WHITE
HOUSE

hApNCH1s
There is a good deal of speculation
as to the reason so many of the big
financiers of Wall street are visiting
the President. 1t is recalled that
within. a comparatively short time the
President has had as his guests five
of the best known financlers of New
York, namely James Stillman, presi-
dent of the National City Bank; A. ].
Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad; ]. Pierpont Morgan and
George w. Perkins of the banking
house of ]. p. Morgan & Co. and
George ]. Gould. the latter being the
Presidents guest on Tuesday of this
week.
OF course the reason for these visits
is known only to the parties directly
interested, but it is said that all of
them went to Washington at the re-
quest of the President. 1t is thought
probable that the President wants to
impress upon Wall street that it need
have no fear of him; that he has no
intention of disturbing the trusts, and
that he would like to have the usual
campaign contribution.
It is hardly probable, of course, that
he said in so many words that he
would like to have the rich men of
Wall street subscribe to his campaign
fund, but IL he took occasion to as
sure his visitors that he had no in
tention of doing anything that would
worry the trust magnates he might as
we'll have asked for campaign contri-
buttons.
According to the reports there was a
good deal of secrecy connected with
these visits of the financiers to the
White House. The only reason for 1t
is supposed to be the belief that if it
were known the President was enter
tanning trust magnates and monopo-
lists at the White House his standing
with the wage-earners might be in
jured to some extent. Politicians who
are seeking office seem to have the
idea that they cannot be entirely
frank with the masses.

An official Of the Suez canal reports
from the territory adjacent to that ia

suit to the energetic efforts that have
been made in the past two years to-
wards destroying the mosquitoes. This

quito fighters in this country, and hold
out the hope that the Panama canal
zone may be made healthy by clearing

A st. Louis court the other day had
before it the old yet ever new aues-
ton as to whether or not a physician
ought to charge a rich man for pro-
fessional services more than a poor
man is charged for similar services
The court held that the character Of
the service, the seriousness of the COM
plant, the skill and time required and
the result reached" may all be con-
sidered in arriving at the amount ~
the charge TO be made. but that the
size OF the patients fortune should not
be considered. That is. the court was
OF the opinion that all men should be
charged alike for like services. AS a
legal principle it may be all right to
say that all men should be equal IN
the eyes Of the doctor. yet the fact
remains that II Is the custom OF the

could not save. The authorities could
not overlook the part he had taken in

his expulsion.
One beautiful springlike morning a
few days later a light cart moved
slowly through the main street of
Javolin, and after it came 4 long train
of whistling, singing. shouting stu
dents. When the hilarious procession
reached the mail-coach road leading to
Vino the. cart halted and all voices
were hushed; all eyes were raised to
Ephraim. who mounted the caet. He
waved his hat and expanded his chest.
but for a moment it seemed rhe could
not give vent to his overflowing senti-
ments. His eyes glowed like burning
charcoal and his whole body quivered
Then he controlled himself and poured
forth his ideas with all the passion and
fire of his nature. He spoke of the new
epoch which was beginning with the
young generation, of fanaticisrn, of en-
lightenment, and of the mysterious fu-
ture.
The audience listened breathlessly.
When he had finished speaking they
burst into a frenzy of cheering, and
when the time OF departure came every
one embraced and kissed him.
Long after the happy gathering had
returned TO their crude studies. long
after the cart that carried my friend
had disappeared from sight, 1 stood
brooding by the roadside, with my head
dropped over my chest-Just as l had
