most amazing thing about this expos

viction of what has been morally

The public mind has not escaped
contamination by the mischievous no.
ton that big thieves are to be ad-
mired rather than punished. But it
still makes an exception Of trustees
who steal from the public instead of
from each other. Bank presidents who
break trust to rob widows and or
phans still go to Jail. What theft of
actual property of the helpless is more
Infamous. than loot of the provision
made for the future care of women
and children by the self-denial of hus-
bands and fathers?
Life insurance officers have dissi-
pated the hard scrapings paid them in
premiums for this purpose in extrava-
gance and speculation for their own
profit. They have divided it among
their relatives and friends and given
it to corrupt politicians to buy immu-
nifty from exposure. If they have
enough left to secure policyholders
it Is because they have extocted too
much for the security they have
given.
These men are not adequately re-
sponsible financially or civilly. I'm
like bankers, they paid up no capital
which can be taken from them. They
made the public put up the capital. All
their wealth was gained in their ne
farious trade If they were stripped
of it, restitution could not be COM
plete. The only way to deal with
them is to put them in Jail on convic-
tion,"

ST. RAPHAEL'S HOSPITAL

At St. Cloud Totally Destroyed by Fire
st. Cloud, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE st
Raphaels hospital, the best equipped
general hospital between Minneapolis
and the Pacific coast, was destroyed
yesterday noon by fire which started
near the elevator shaft on the fourth
floor
Fifty-three patients and sixteen SIS
ters of the order of st. Benedict were
all removed in safety, but those on the
third floor crawled through dense
smoke. A half dozen patients were
operated on Monday and are in pre-

light lasting four hours controlled il

st. Raphael's was established in 1906
by the order of st. Benedict. It is a
pressed brick and four stories.
Among the sick were nineteen
typhoid patiects. Many were taken tc
the st. Joseph's home for the aged
and to the st. Clotildas academy.
Heartrending cries followed the re-
moval of the sick, relatives being un-
able to locate their dear ones and fear

The local fire department worked
b1avely, h., were handicapped by the
lack Of apparatus.
The Benedictines assert the struc
ture will be replaced. The exact
origin Of. the fire is a mystery, but it
is believed it was caused by an arma-
ture on small motor in the garnet

One of the patients at the hospital
at the time of the fire was Miss AIDE

Not in all the annals of turpitude

But, will they be sent to states prison

by the late Max O'Rell, the French
humorist, just published in Paris:

smaller than yourself. Do not mar
ry woman whose laugh is forced
and does not spring from the heart
but marry a woman who enjoys joke
and looks at the bright side of every
thing.
Marry girl who is bit of phil
| osopher. If you take girl to the
theater, and on hearing there are nc
seats in the stalls or circle, she gaily
exclaims: Never mind, let us go into
the gallery Marry her. 1t will be
easy to live happily with girl willing
to sit even on the back Of benches
with her husband.
do not marry woman who has the
fast ways of what is called smart So
ciety.' If you go to pay visit and
must wait half an hour while she fin
ishes her toilet, do not marry her. But
! if she comes to you Immediately, her
hair put up in hurry, but neatly and
simply dressed, she is girl of COM
mon sense. Marry her, especially If
| she is not too prolix in her excuses for
appearing in neglige.
Marry a girl who cares a lot for
| her father, who won't let him go out
without seeing that his clothes are i'm
maculate, who, when at length salts
fed with papa's appearance, kisses
him before he goes off-that girl will

THos. f. WALSH.
Romantic Tale Of Washington Million.
aires Career.

dITS NdFSers
Thomas F. Walsh is one of the lead
ers in the millionaire colony in Wash
ington. He is probably the most Law
ish entertainer in the capital and is
said to have aspirations to represent
the United States at some foreign
court. Walsh is an Irishman and a
Catholic.
Mr. Walsh has had a remarkable his
tory. He was born in County Kerry,
Ireland, and came to New York in the
steerage. He worked at his trade of
millwright at Lowell, Mass, for a
year or so and then went out to Cen
trail City, Col, where he worked as a
miner from 1874 until the Black Hills
were opened to settlement in 1876.
At Deadwood he was exceedingly
lucky, and cleared up $4,000 Or $780,
900. He moved down to Leadville and
there built and ran the Grand Hotel,
until 1880. In the meantime he util-
lied his opportunities shrewdly and
got hold of several modest but pro-
ftable mines. He took 100000 out
of one of them in a few months. The
real estate boom was on in Denver at
that time, so he came here and plung-
ed in with the rest of the spectators,
selling his Leadville interest and in
vesting the proceeds in business pro-
perry, stores and office buildings here.
1t was during this period that he mar
ried Miss Carrie Bell Read, who has
been more than a helpmate for him.
She was born in Wisconsin, and spent
her childhood in Alabama, where Ger
father died; and her mother, very
ing at Boulder, came to Denver to take
charge of a school. Mrs. Walsh is
a fine musician. She taught music
there before her marriage and played
the organ in one of the largest
churches in town. Her old friends in
Denver say that she might have mar
ried the parson, but she preferred the
! miner, and shortly after their mar
riage she and Mr.. Walsh went to Bir-
\ mingham. Ala, which was just begin
| ming to boom He lost great deal
of money there. Everything seemed to
be against him. 1t was the only time
/ in his life when his luck ran in that
way.
| In 1892 he returned to Colorado,
went and settled at Cripple Creek,
bought the Deerhorn mine and his for
tunes turned again. He built smell
ter at Kokomo and another at Silver
ton. where he picked TIP several small
but well-paying mines. One day, while
he was running his smelter at Silver
ton. he was riding across the hills,
and his horse stumbled. Walsh dis
mounted to see If the animal was hurt.
For years he has been considered one
of the best judges of "pay-rock" in
Colorado, and here he took walk
in the mountains without examining
the stones in his path. After he had
satisfied himself that his horse was

WILLIAM o'BRIEN's PAPER.

The first number of William
O'Brien's reissue of his paper, The
Dublin Irish People, is at hand. The
publication of The Irish People was
| suspended about two years ago. when
Mr.. O'Brien retired from Parliament.
The starting up of the paper again
means that he has determined to carry
on an effective opposition to those
| whom he considers to be his enemies.
He seems to have special grievance
against Mr.. Sexton, the editor of the
Dublin Freemans Journal, and Mr..
Dillon, Redmond's chief aid in the
Parliamentary Party. He doubtless
has some cause for complaint. There
are many who believe that he was not
rightly treated by his colleagues "a
couple Of years ago. With the people,
however. who are not directly inter-
ested In the personalities engaged in
the controversy and who are interest
ed In the Irish cause, Mr.. O'Bren's
present attitude will not meet with
approval. If he believes that the
present attitude Of the Irish Parlia-
mentary Party is not beneficial to the
country he should carry on his fight
within the party instead of remaining
without it, and offering aid to the
avowed enemies Of his country. The
great majority Of the Irish Parlia-
mcntary Party in fact all but three
or four, condemn his present course.
This ought to be sufficient evidence
to friends of Ireland everywhere that
the merits of the controversy are on
the side of Mr.. Redmond. Redmond
and his colleagues are more than will
ing that OBrien should take his old
place in the ranks of the party. They
do not condemn his opinions nor his
fight FOR them but they maintain, and
justly we think that the fight for those
opinions should be carried on within
the organization 1t Is not to be ex-
pected that strong men with strong
opinions will always agree upon every
proposition. William OBrien Is a
strong man and has strong opinions
with unusual ability for maintaining
/ those opinions. The really remarkable
thing about the present situation is
that he has not attracted larger
percentage Of the members of his
| former party to him. The fact that
the Irish Parliamentary Party remains
practically intact Notwithstanding
! O'Brien's attitude, is pretty complete
| evidence that Mr.. OBrien is wrong,
at least this time. He Yields a power
full pen and no doubt The Irish People
will be a great aid in the fight that
he seems determined to carry on. The
friends of Ireland in this country
would be pleased to find Mr.. O'Brien
and The Irish People fighting as they
used to fight. in the ranks of the
recognized organization of the country.

not injured he picked up several pieces
of rock lying in the grass, and his
curiosity was excited by them. He
hitched his horse and followed out
groupings up hill. There was an
abandoned shaft a few feet deep in the
slope and he looked into that. After
an hour or two of examination he
turned his horse toward home with
his pockets full Of ore. During tire
next few months he quietly purchased
| all the claims and located on all the
vacant land in the vicinity. Nobody
was looking for goli in those days
and nobody suspected Tom Walsh of
doing so. He invested about 100000
before he commenced the development
but as soon as he got the first shaft
opened he paid for tn. property in a
few weeks. The ore ran from 500 to
1925 a ton; and at one time, in 1897,
he took out $1,000 net profit in
eighty-one days. In May, 1902, he sold
tne NINE, the Camp Bird, to an Eng
lish syndicate for ss,oOO,OOO. The con-
tract of sale provided that after the
buyers had reimbursed themselves
from the output of the mine he should
receive one-fourth of the future
profits. His fourth interest, according
to the gossip of Denver, now pays
him about 100000 a year, and his in
come is likely to continue at that rate
indefinitely. At the time of the sale
he gave J. w. Benson, who for six
teen years had been his manager,
right-hand man and confidential man,

latter has now retired and is living
