MET WIFE ONLY TO p,RT
An Instance i'm Which the Law ShoulI
Have Been ..Winkcd A.

After toiling ten years to make !.
home for his wife and children, whom
be has left in the old country, and with
lis reward within his reach Joseph
Tarasiewiez, $40 Columbia avenue. was
doomed to disappointment.
TarasiewicZ came to this country
about ten years ago, promising to send
for his family as soon as he could make
a home for them. Yesterday he was
notified that his wife and children had
arrived ON the Koln and We're awaiting
him at Locust Point.
The man was overcome with joy and,
dropping his work at the tailor's bench,
went to the immigrant pier. On en-.
tering the detention house it took only
a moment for him to locate the object
of his affection, and he bounded
through the crowd and clasped her to
his bosom, while the children after
ward came in for a share of his affec-
ton. TarasiewicZ, in his native tongue
told his wife that the future looked
very bright for them. He gathered up
one of the children and started for the
exit.
Here, however, he found the way
barred by n of the inspectors. He
began at once joyously to explain the
situation to the officer, and, in very
good English Informed him that he had
been a resident of Baltimore for &c
years. Proudly pointing to the woman
and the three little ones he told the
officer there were his wife and children.
The official looked at the card in the
wOman's hand and found that it bore
the fatal words, Suffering from ira
chOma.'
The officer notified the husband that
under the laws governing immigration
she would have to DE returned to the
port whence she came. T~arasiewicZ was
crushed. The woman and children
stood muteIy by, unable to comprehend
the language between the husband and
the inspector, but when he broke the
news to her she gathered her children
about her and wildly expOstulated in
her native tongue. The husband seem
ed distracted, threatened suicide and
refused to be cOmfOrted, and for more
than two hours the little family sat in
crushed silence in n corner of the
detention room.
Deputy Commissioner Stump was ap-
pealed to, but the law could not be
changed, and the woman will have to
return today. The special board of in
curry had the children examined, and
as none Of them show any sign of the
mothers disease they were permitted
to- land and go with their father. The
wife will go to Liverpool and enter a
hospital where trachOma is treated. Ii
she can be cured she will be permitted
once again to come to America to join
her Observation-Disclosures SUM-.

Source of Happiness.


Wealth originally consisted of mans
capacity and willingness TO work. They
are still the highest kind Of wealth.
Their tools are ready hands or clear
brains. Happiness may come with the
wealth they produce but not through
out. 1t comes only through b spirit
in which work is wrought by hand or
brain. 1t not from the winning,
but from the feeling we put into effort
It is a state of mind. Tranquility Is It's
characteristic. Faith and contentment
are it's symbols. Not by an increase OF
knowledge, even. does it come to men
and ONE The so-called wise and
prudent know it not, for they too often
rut themselves In the attitude of being
responsible for the stars in their
courses. By so doing they augment
their worries. They forget that there
is comparatively little that Is affected
by their worrying except their faces,
whereon they write their cares In
crowsfeet. Overanxiousness always
illustrates the aim TO be helpful. Thus
we are often unkindest To dearest
friends by annoying them with u
obtrusive solicitude. To be happy we
should have faith, without which moth
ing is Observation-Disclosures Globe.

Nayor Weaver and the Gas Franchise

Mayor Weaver and IL Gas FfancnlSe.
May.jl Weaver's announcement taat
he will hot sigh the proposed e
lease of the city gas works is the
best news that has come out of Phlia-
dclphia in many years. Since Ash
bridge signed away a street railway
franchise for which the city did not
receive a penny, though a $4,000, 900
offer tcr the same rights was on his
desk, the citizens have had little hope
in raising their hanis to the city hall
for help. IT. m out now for the
first time that bribely had its part In
the original Leasing of h gas Ela It
in 1897 to the United Gas Improve
ment Company. But still that lease
protected the city's interests many
times letter than the contracts which
the ely machine fah!icaed in the y3a'
o { grace 1905. Mayor Weaver had 10:
hitherto realized the hopes entertain
ed of him when he took Office TWO
wears ago. The reasons which he now
puts forv ard, indeed, are merely those
of common honesty and the most Gle
| mentary principles y f public fnan; &c,
vet that he should abide by these eter-
ma y~erities Immediately after an in
| terview of three-quarters of an hour

| nation no less hopeful than aston

| clans q S an additional cause for strip

Politics and Gas Works.

Philadelphia is stirred up as she has
not been in a quarter of a century.
And the excitement is all about her
gas works. Eight years ago she leased
her gas works to the United Gas I'M
provement Company. This lease is bad
ly in need of money with which to
carry on public improvements. 1t IS
probable that the politicians want the
money to use in providing work for
their heelers and henchmen. They will
spend it if they get it on park improve
ments and streets. 1t seems queer mat
Philadelphia should have a bankrupt
treasury so soon after she raised the
assessed valuations of all real proper
ty within her limits.
But whatever the cause of the I'M
happy condition Of her treasury it is
now proposed to raise a big lot OF =
by making a new lease OF the gas
works for a period OF seventy i've
years. And this proposition has raised
a storm of protests. The newspapers
are laundering against the pollca'
BOSS and against the councils or the
city and mass meetings are being aela'
On Thursday, when the councils are 10
meet to pass upon the matter, all 1ne
whistles of the city are to be blown as
a protest against the acceptance OF the
proposition of tn United Gas improve
ment Company.
What IS the proposition? 1t is that
the will take the lease fo1
seventy-fve years for the lump sum o.
S25. 900, 900, with the privilege OF charg-
ing a dollar per 1000 feet for gas. O1
course, the bargain is a good n 1o1
the gas company, since 81 per l,Oo'
feet is a pretty high price to pay 1ol
gas these DAYS. Some cities pay IN:
75c. and there is an effort to have 1
reduced below 81 in New o4rk.
It is claimed that the lease is worth
at least $50, 900, 900, and there IS a re
mort that a combination has been form
ed to give that amount for 1t. 1t th'
combination doesn't materialize, how

MRS. FAIRBANKS RIVAL
THREATENED COMBINE OF sENA-
TORIAL DANES AGAINST THE
AMBITIONS OF THE VICE PRES
IDENT'S WIFE.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, March 6.-Iowa
Daughters of the American Revolution
foresee in the coming congress and
election of the national society the
warmest contest the society has ever
known over the office of president gen
eral, now held by Mrs. Charles w.
Fairbanks, wife Of the vice president.
Mrs. Fairbanks has served already by
special provision for a longer time than
the constitution Of the society contem-
plates.
The election of her husband to the
high office which he holds has created
a strong desire to retain her in office
on account of the great prestige her
official position will afford to the or
ganizatiOn, and there is sound prac-
teal excuse for such action in the state
of Continental hall affairs, for whose
success Mrs Fairbanks is entitled to
the chief credit, but upon which work
is not yet completed
The Iowa interest arises from the
fact that the principal rival of Mrs
Fairbanks is Mrs. Dolliver, wife of Sen.
ator Dolliver. The circle of senatorial
danes has hitherto been numbered
among the staunch supporters of Mrs
Fairbanks, but it is rumored that they
aren ow- about to desert her and rally
around one of their colleagues, on the
ground that the wife Of the vice presi
dent holds no higher rank than the
wife of senator. A combine between
senatorial influence and other oppo
nents of Mrs. Fairbanks may result il
her defeat.
