CASTORIA
For Infants and Children.
The Kind You Have Always Bought
Signature sssss sss Of ZzkzzzzSa<
Henry Grady on Rum.

Tonight it enters humble home
to strike the roses from woman'a
cheek, and tomorrow it challenges
this republic in the halls of Congress.
To-day it strikes crust from the
lips of starving child, and to-mor-
row levies tribute from the govern
ment itself.
There is no cottage humble enough
to escape it, no palace strong enough
to shut it out.
1t defies the law when it cannot
coerce sufferage.
1t is flexible to cajole, but merci-
less in victory.
1t is the mortal enemy of peace
and order, the despoiler of men and
terror of women, the cloud that shad-
ows the face of children, the demon
that has dug more graves ard sent
more souls unshrived to judgment
than all the pestilences that have
wasted life since God sent the plaques
to Egypt, and all the wars since
Joshua stood bey md Jericho.
1t comes to mislead human souls
and to crush human hearts under its
rumbling wheels.
1t comes to bring gray-haired
mothers down in shame and sorrow
to their graves.
1t comes to change the wife's love
into despair and her pride into
shame.
1t comes to still the laughter on
the lips of tho little chrildren.
1t comes to stife all the music of
the home and fill it with silence and
desolation.

China Asks "Where Am I At 7"

Pekin, June 18.-The Chinese govern
ment is urging the great powers to sup
port her in an endeavor to secure from
the belligerent nations definite under
standing that she is to be compensated
for losses of life and property which has
been inflicted on Chinese subjects in
Manchuria during the fighting. China
takes the ground that Japan, as the VIC
torious nation, should make good for the
havoc which has been wrought by the
war.

They Married.

"A young man WAS piowing in a
field the day was hot and he had
taken off his shoes. He saw a
fashionable young lady approaching
and said to himself, "I am not going
to try to hide my bare feet; if she
thinks any the less of me because
my feet are bare then she is not az
sensible as think her." But the
young lady stopped and talked to
him inspiringly and never looked at
his feet. Fact is, going barefooted
is very healthy practice, and every
human being would be helped by the
electric touch of the naked foot on
mother earth.-Exchange.

OYSTER BOAT SLAVERY
SEAMAN GALLAGHER RESCUED
BY UNITED STATES MARSHAL.

William Gallagher, the young white man
who wrote his friends from Lewisetta. Va,
telling that he had been cruelty treated on
an oyster boat. arrived at Richmond, Va.
yesterday, in charge OF United States
Deputy Marshal Samuel Benditt, who was
armed with warrant signed by Judge
Waddill
Benditt boarded the oyster schooner Ethel
Ruth Off Lewisetta, Northumberland
county. in the Potomac river. and demand
ed Gallagher. Capt William Marsh Of the
Ethel Ruth at first refused to give Gal
lagher up. but. being threatened with ar
rest. consented and handed over his outfit.
-Four other men on the schooner begged
Benditt to be taken also, and were much
disappointed when they found he had no
authority to release them.
Gallagher tells q pitiful story OF hard
ship, cruelty and suffering, and declares
he lived In help the whole time he was
aboard the Ethel Ruth.
Shipped in Baltimore.
Gallagher says at Baltimore he signed a
document with a firm Of employment
agents. He expected to fill the Job of cook
at fair sum agreed upon. He found out
when he was aboard the Ethel Ruth that
he was to be used in dredging and deck
work He was told that he was to be paid
only S14 a month and that he could not
quit his Job. When Gallagher refused to
do the work. he says, he was frequently
hurled to the deck and bound and threaten
ed with being strung in the rigging. There
were five of the crew white men who
claimed to have been ''shanghaied" and
there were four negroes with the captain,
who kept guard over the white men and
forced them to work, he says. Gallagher
says that the negroes were armed. He and
another alleged "shanghaied" man, James
O'Brien, managed to escape to the shore
but the captain ran them down according
to the story. and brought them to halt
with four or five shots.
Letter Led to His Rescue.
In despair Gallagher managed to get a
letter posted to his uncle In PHILADELPHIA
The matter was Immediately reported to
the Department Of Justice, in Washington,
and in turn to the United States marshal OF
this district. Deputy Benditt did not take
long to find the vessel and to get the man

that he was brought from Baltimore to
Westmoreland county by various promises
or good job aboard ship, and finds him

mates.

IN BEHALF OF THE JEWS
Correspondence Between Simon Wolf
and Secretary Root.

Letters from President Roosevelt through
his secretaries. and from Secretary of State
Root and Simon Wolf in this city, chair
man of the board of delegates on civil
rights of the union of American congrega-
tons were presented to the select council
at Philadelphia yesterday in response to
the resolution of request recently adopted
by select and common councils urging
President Roosevelt to exert his influence
to cause cessation of the outrages against
the Jews In Russia
One Of the letters was from Acting Sec
retary or state Bacon, who stated that
the councils resolution has been called to
the attention of President Roosevelt 1t
included copies of the correspondence be-
tween Simon Wolf and Secretary of State
Root. Mr.. VOLTS letter was in part as fol-
lows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary: AS chairman of the
board OF delegates on civil rights of the
union of American Hebrew CONGREGATIONS
| am in receipt of numerous kilograms and
letters asking me to intercede with our gov
eminent on and in behalf of our Jewish
oo-religionists in Russia. In obedience to
their wish 1 bring this matter to your at
tention, being fully cognizant of the fact
that our government can in nowise at this
juncture intervene or even offer Its good
Offices, as the condition in Russia is such
that that government seems to be power
less to prevent riots and bloodshed"
secretary Root replied IN part as fol-
lows:
'iSir: I have to say that I quite concur
IN your view that at this juncture any ac-
ton by this government looking to the re-
lief Of your co-religionists In Russia would
be inopportune and unavailing. With the
hoped-for establishment of a more liberal
form of government and the restoration Of
administrative control over the remote
scenes of the occurrences which are so
greatly to be deplored, this government
may look for practical response to its
repeated solicitations of freer treatment Of
American Hebrews, and may be In a po-
sition to exert efficient good influence to-
wards the more liberal treatment Of all
Jews in Russia. and their better protection
from the consequences of deep-lying racial
antagonism. The problem Is one which
strongly attracts the sympathetic attention
OF this government. I am, sir, your obe-
dent servant,

NEW PHASE OF ROAD WORK.
Office Has Fine Collection Of Photo
graphic Pictures.

There is phase of the road work OF the
Department of Agriculture that from now
on will receive more attention than ever
and will be of the greatest interest to
every community in the country that ex-
poets to build road, and especially to the
agricultural colleges that are helping in
this work. 1t is the lantern slide depart
ment of object lessons and missionary
work. The road office, since its establish
ment, has accumulated one of the most
unique collections of lantern slides on the
road question that has ever come together.
There are pictures from all over the United
States, and many from abroad showing
roads of all sorts. good. bad and indifferent.
Some of the bad roads of the United States,
by the way. are about the worst in the
world. There are pictures of roads in ali
stages of construction, showing the ma
terial used and how it is put together and
the machinery used in the work. There is
every phase of material getting from the
work of the convicts blasting out rock at
the Folsam penitentisry to the latest i'm
provement of rock-crushing machinery.
There are enough of these slides to fur
nish dozen series of pictures. each a lee
ture in itself on road building, the need OF
roads, the difference in transportation that
the coming of good roads has made, and
the history of roads and transportation all
over the country. These pictures are being
arranged In series and will form an illus
trated circulating library for the agricui-
tural colleges of the country that want
them. They are to be loaned out to the
colleges, with or without lectures accom-
panying them, and will form valuable
auxiliary to any school that is teaching
road-making, besides making an interesting
lecture for the community at large, and
the smaller towns especially are very much
alive to this sort of entertainment and edu-
cation The set of slides Is q collection
that none of the smaller colleges could ever
get for themselves, both on account of the
prohibitive cost and the difficulty of find
ing Just what they wanted to illustrate a
particular phase of the work at q gwen
time. 1t Is the sort of a thing that the
government with agents everywhere can
get together at comparatively little trouble
and expense, and it will be made available
for use in a score of colleges year after
year at practically no expense TO the gov
eminent and none at ali to the school.

Supervision Of Oyster Dredges.

The United States revenue cutter William
Window sailed from Baltimore Wednesday
last for cruise on the bay, in compliance
with the recent orders directing her to
cruise and keep lookout for vessels that
may need her assistance in consequence of
having been blown ashore by winter gale
or from being in distress from other causes
These cruises OF the Window will, as has
been stated, be kept up almost constantly
throughout the winter, with only short WIS.,
its to Baltimore for coal and supplies. 1t
is also stated that the Window has orders
to visit the oyster dredging fleet at inter-
walls to look after any cases Of cruelty that
may occur The recent visit Of the Win
dom to the oystermen, 1t is believed, will
make the captains of the oyster vessels
more careful in their treatment of the men
aboard the boats. particularly when 1t Is
known the cutter may drop anchor along
side of them at any time It Is stated that
the Maryland oyster police officials have or
ders to take more active interest in the
welfare of the men employed in oyster
dredging on Chesapeake bay and its tribu-
tariee.

PAY FOR CROP REPORTERS.
Not Thought Likely That Congress
Would Favor the Expense.

The Department of Agriculture is sitting
tight in regard to the proposal of Repre-
sentative Livingston of Georgia that the
cotton crop reporters should be put
paid basis with view to increasing their
interest in the work and the accuracy OF
their reports. The matter was investigated
by a Star reporter today, and while there
was no one in the department who was
anxious to talk on the subject, there were
a number of interesting facts to be CLEANED
in connection with the proposal. The de-
partment does not now pay its reporters
anything. 1t distributes some seeds ana
publications that in the ordinary course OF
events would go to those interested, ana
the reporters give their service gratis
There are between 500 and 900 counties
in the cotton belt, and at $50 a month to
each man it would mean an expenditure OF
s4S 600 a. month so long as the crop re-
porters were in service, which would be
practically the whole year. 1t is not be-
lieved likely that Congress, in Its present
mood of retrenchment and reform, would
sanction such expenditure. 1t is also
pointed out that the cotton crop Is only
one of several crops on which the Depart
ment OF Agriculture reports, and as there
are something like 2,300 counties in the
country, II the reporters were put on the
salary list 1t would considerably increase
the departments annual expenditure. Inc
census office pays its reporters, but the sys-
tenn has not been running long enough TO
make a fair comparison as to whether
there is any essential difference in the ac-
curacy of the reports under a paid and a
voluntary system.
There is another point that has been Sc
riousiy considered at the Capitol aside from
the actual expense involved. That is the
fact that there would be an enormous rush
for the paid positions, and while 1t would
xe very nice thing for the congressman
to have a $50 month job at his disposal In
each of his counties, he would make one
friend In the man for whom he secured 1t
and enemies Of everybody else that want
ed it.
1t is thought there may be some discus
sion of the matter when Congress gets
little further along with its work, but 1t Is
hardly thought likely that there will be
anything serious done with it.

Manitoba Asks for Low Tariff.

The Canadian tariff commissioners spent
an entire day ct Winnipeg listening to the
arguments OF the farmers of Manitoba
against an increase In protection to the
manufacturing industries OF the Dominion
The farmers claimed that the prices of
agricultural implements were unreasonably
high and asked for relief along that line
yesterday.
They quoted figures to show that Cana
dian manufacturers were driving Amert-
cans from the field This. they argued.
tended to keep up prices and also resulted
in inferior goods, as in many lines Cam
afian articles were not equal to the Amer
tered against putting duty on lumber. as
was advocated by British Columbia lum-
bermen. They offered In return to forego
any duty on agricultural products.

Banquet to Guests,

After the adjournment of the meeting at
the Lyric the jubilee committee rendered
an informal dinner at the Hotel Belvedere
to Representative Watson. Supreme Chan
cellor shiveley. Mayor Timanus and A. G.
Strife. mayor Of Hagerstown. The affair
was strictly informal, there being but
seventeen present.
One of the most interesting features OF
the evening was the parade from Pythian
Temple to the Lyric. in which many
knights from Washington participated. At
the head was a platoon of mounted police.
Next came the 9th Regiment Band Then
the visiting Pythians and the members of
the committee. all seated in carriages, took
their places. Every town in Maryland was
represented. as well as the District OF
Columbia, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
The knights of Khorassan turned out In
force, and the line was swelled by a great
number of the uniform divisions. the thirty
eight Baltimore lodges and lodges from
Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
At the Lyric each member was admitted
by password, the hall. for the time, being

Handsome Decorations.

1t is estimated that IN all about 1900
Pythians participated In the jubilee. The
Lyric was dazzlingly decorated. The most
striking feature was the arrangement OF
the long streamers of electric lights From
the center of the ceiling they were stretch
ed in long sweeping curves to the balcony,
where they were attached to poles about
twenty feet apart. The eyes naturally fol-
lowed the line of the string Of lights to the
central focus. where hung large bel,
vines to bring out the lines of It's curves.
The national colors and the Maryland black
and gold formed the decorations of the bal
cony. The Pythian colors-red. blue and
yellow-were draped about the boxes. Upon
the stage huge United States flag and
Maryland banner were draped to fill in the
top OF great arch, the edge OF which was
covered with Pythan coIors.
