 New York, Aug 4.-Magistrate Hlg- ginbotham, in the Lee avenue police court, Williamsburg, held George Van Allen. sugar weigher ill tine employ of the American Sugar refinery, Who lives at No "A Kent avenue, in $oOO bail for hearing Monday on charge of abandonment preferred by his wire Kate.
 The couple have five children, of whom Van Allen has two, George and Thomas, sixteen and fourteen years old. and Mrs Van Allen the other three. Kate. Walter and James, twelve, six and three years old. Some time ago. according to Mrs Van Allen, she and her husband separated by nHl' tual consent. She was dispOssessed some time ago from her rooms, at No 60 Grand street. Williamsburg. and being without home for her children she wandered around, sleeping in hall ways and wagons and begging their food
 Lately they have been loiterfng around the recreation pier at the root of Metropolitan avenue. It was there that nurse of St Johns Guild of Manhattan noticed the pitiable condi tion of the woman ana ner three chill dren, and after hearing the story of the woman sent word to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren. Agent Ludecke made an inves- tigation and, it was alleged, learned that while Mrs Van Allen and the three children she had with her were suffering from hunger and were home less, her husband, who is earning $2O week, and his two sons. who are earning So and $4 week respective ly, were living well.
 The agent told these circumstances to the magistrate, who issued the warrant on which Van Allen was ar- rested. Mrs Van Allen and her chil- dren showed by their emaciated ap- pearance the suffering they had under gone.
 Van Allen seemed to regard the pro- ceedings in an indifferent manner. which brought rebuke from the magistrate, who held him for a hear ing on Monday. The three children were sent to the shelter of the society. while woman promised to look after Mrs Van Allen pending the investiga- tion of the case.

Many odd publications have found their way into the Congressional Rec ord and thereby secured the privilege of being sent through the mails free of postage under congressional frank. but the most unique thing in this line is a recent compilation gotten up by Rev Wilbur F. Crafts, head of the International Reform Bureau of Washington. Mir Crafts enjoys the distinction of having had introduced into congress more reform measures on different subjects than any man who ever frequented the national cap ital. Many of these have been buried in committee, never 10 be heard of again; some have been advocated on the floor and speeches championing them have been made. Under the cap ton of Patriotic Studies MT Crafts has compiled all these measures of his own and every other reform that has been suggested, the speeches that have been made and all data submit ted to congress. It makes a book of almost 300 pages and is not only sent through the mails free, but is accom- panied by a franked envelope in which the recipient is requested to re- turn the book if he does not care to pay the thirty-ive cents asked for it and help along the cause of reform. Several officials of the postoffice de- partment refused to sanction such a use of the franking privilege, but one higher up" decreed that inasmuch as the stuff had all appeared in the Con gressional Record the postal authori- ties had no discretion in the matter and MT Crafts book is helping to swell the daily bulk of franked mail out of Washington.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1905.

Battle as a school for manners has not stood high. The Japanese have taught us many things, and among them the possibility of combining agreeable demeanor with war. We look upon Grants treatment of Lee as an exception, and so it was, but the Japanese leaders have not once failed in courtesy since the war began; in courtesy, or ill that modesty which is equally necessary to politeness. The Japanese may be the best soldiers in the world. They are certainly the most gracefully polite Of races. When you meet your antagonist" says one of Sheridans characters, do every thing in a mild and agreeable manner. Let your courage be as keen, but at the same time as polished, as your sword."

Taking a broad view of the agricul-
 tural situation, says Banker Clews,
 the outlook remains favorable from a
 stock market standpoint The season able reports of crop setbacks must
 still be awaited. and promise to pro
 vide a fiuctuating market--a good traders market-within a compara- lively restricted range until the crops are well out of danger. Speculation appears to be converging tO a notice able degree upon The lower-priced
 stocks: this seems quite reasonable in view of the high prices which the high grade investment securities have attained and which are so well held that they have materially narrowed the floating supply of securities on the market In view of this a feeling of optimism seems to be increasing in regard to the lower grades of stocks. and has for its basis the generally ia vOrsble technical situation and the disposition of the large financial in terests to take a favorable view of fu- ture earnings. as evidenced by the re- cent increases in dividend distribu- tions and the placing of Erie second preferred. for instance. on 1 per cent rsaSfs. The dividend action in regard to Erie had quite a stimulating effect on general sentiment and was aided by the continued favorable sit uzticn in the great iron and steel in dustry ss reflected tg the active de mand for steel rails and structural ms te-isIs. The activity and confidence noted last week in this direction con tinue uninterrupted except that asnu- fzeturers are showing more conserya-

It is easy to point out that upon the official caste of Russia, with its contempt for the common people, rests the blame for the breakup which the world is now witnessing, says an exchange. To those who be- lieve that two or more races may dwell together in peace and content ment, separated by eternal bulwarks of caste, this spectacle should be re- velation. even when they fail to see how utterly inimical to our splendid institutions is such foolish dream as theirs. As long as. there are Ameri- cans there will be warfare against caste, whatever its disguise; and in the long run it must be successful. The hour calls for protest against our growing class feeling from all who value men for what they are in them selves.

TOO MUCH CHEESE.

During one of his campaigns Fri vate' John. Allen stopped at cross roads store. While he was exchanging news with the proprietor an old darkey from one of the plantations came in, When his purchase of ''middlin' an meal' had been wrapped up he started out. At the door he paused. Got enny cheese. boss?" he asked.
 Why, yes,' said the clerk, pointing to q freshly opened can of axle-grease on the counter; "box just opened
 The darkey looked at it hungrily. How much?" he asked.
 Give it to him for 10 cents. and throw in the crackers" said MT Allen.
 All right. said the clerk, filling a bag with crackers. Here you are.
 The darkey laid greasy dime on the counter. picked up the box and the bag, and going out, seated himself in the shade of cotton bale. When he had finished the crackers he ran his finger around the box and gave it good long lick. In a few moments he put on his hat and started for his mule. As he passed the store MT Allen hailed him.
 Well. Jerry, what did you think of that lunch?"
 The old darkey scratched his head. then he said: ''I tell you de truf. Mars John. dem crackers wuz all right, but dat wuz de ransomest cheese l uyer etr'-Harper's Weekly.

children were doubting him and de serting him. It seemed to me that this petition ought to be presented now--it would be widely and feeling ly abused and ridiculed and cursed and would advertise our scheme and make our ground-floor stock go off briskly So I sent it to General Jo- seph R. Hawley. who was then in the house, and he said he would present it. But he did not do it. think he explained that when he came to read it he was afraid of it; it was too seri- ous, too gushy. too sentimental-the house might take it for earnest.
 We ought to have carried out our monument scheme; we could nave managed it without any great diff culty, and Elmira would now be the most celebrated town in the universe. Very recently l began to build a book in which one of the minor char acters touches incidentally upon q project for monument to Adam, and now the Tribune has come upon q trace of the forgotten jest of 30 years ago. Apparently mental telegraphy IS still in business. It is odd; but the freaks of mental telegraphy are us ually odd,

MONUMENT TO ADAM.

How Mark Twain's Jest Nearly Took
 Serious Turn in Elmira.
 Some one has revealed to the Fri bune that 1 once suggested to Rev Thomas k. Beecher of Elmira, N r., that we get up monument to Adam. and that Mir Beecher favored the pro- ject, writes Mark Twain in Harper's Weekly. There is more to it than that The matter started as a joke, but 1t came somewhat near to mater ializing.
 It is long ago-30 years. Mir Dar- wins Descent of Man" had been in print five or six years, and the storm of indignation raised by it was still raging in pulpits and periodicals. In tracing the genesis of the human race back to it's sources Mir Darwin had left Adam out altogether We had monkeys and missing links" and plenty of other kinds of ancestors. but no Adam. Jesting with Mir Beecher and other friends in Elmira. I said there seemed to be a likelihood that the world would discard Adam and accept the monkey, and that in the course of time Adams very name would be forgotten in the earth; there fore this calamity ought to be avert ed; monument would accomplish this and Elmira ought not to waste this honorable opportunity to do Adam a favor and herself credit.
 Then the unexpected happened. Two bankers came forward and took hold of the matter-not for run, not for sentiment, but because they saw in the monument certain commercial ad- vantages for the town. The project had seemed gently humorous before it was more than that now, with this stern business gravity injected into it. The bankers discussed the monu- ment with me. We met several times. They proposed an indestructible me- morial to cost $25,O0O. The insane oddity of monument set up in village to preserve the name that would outlast the hills and the rocks without any such help, would adver- tise Elmira to the ends of the earth and draw custom. It would be the only monument on the planet to Ad- am, and in the matter of interest and impressiveness could never have rival until somebody should set up monument to the Milky Way.
 People would come from every cor ner of the globe and stop of to look at it. no tour of the world would be com plete that left out Adams monument. Elmira would be Mecca; there would be pilgrim ships at pilgrim rates, pil- grim specials on the continents rail- ways; libraries would be written about the monument. every tourist would kodak it. models of it would be for sale everywhere in the earth. it's form would become as familiar as the figure of Napoleon.
 One of the bankers subscribed five hundred dollars and I think the other one subscribed half as much, but l do not remember with certainty now whether that was the figure or not. We got designs made-some of them came from Paris.
 In the beginning-as detail of the project when it was yet a joke-I had framed humble and beseeching and per-fervid petition to congress begging the government to build the monu- ment. as testimony of the great republics gratitude to the Father of the Human Race and as token of her loyalty to him in this dark day of his humiliation when his older
