Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman said that
the liberals would fight protection and fiscal

while in opposition. while the former pre-

party would have to deal whenever it was
returned to power, because II was a ques-

Mr.. Balfour plainly indicated that the
whole attack of unionists throughout the
present campaign would be centered on the
assumed intention of the liberal party "a
give Ireland control of its own affairs
through an executive. responsible directly
to an Irish elective body. This Mr. Balfour
believed WOULD inevitably lead to separation
which he admitted would be preferable tc
the continued parliamentary turmoil conse-
quent on halfway measures.
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman devoted
almost his entire speech to an attack on the

EARNING $3.50 A WEEK SHE PAYS
$3.50 FOR ROOM AND So FOR

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Not until

in the Flatbush Court yesterday, did
Mamie Fitzpatrick, sixteen years old,
even imagine that she had done any.
thing out of the ordinary when, after
her father had abandoned her and
her little brother and sister, she pro.
vided a home for them, sent the small.
er children to school, and all of this
on an income Of $3.50 per week.
Small for her age, neatly dressed,
and looking plump and healthy, her
story could hardly be believed, but
1t was confirmed by Mrs. Maggie
Jones, in whose home the children
had a room.
The mother died three years ago,
and the father, William Fitzpatrick,
married again last spring, and in May
left Mamie, Thomas, aged fourteen,
and Alice, aged eleven, to shift for
themselves. Mamie was working in a
canning factory for $3.50 a week, and
on this income she made a home for
her charges. For $1.5O a week she
rented a room from Mrs. Jones, and
on the other 50 the family lived. How
they did 1t Mamie could not tell her
self last night, but it was buns and
milk in the morning, and there was
not much change in the diet at night.
Thomas and Alice went to school
in the spring, and they always looked
neat, for on Saturday Alice did the
family washing. And they were al
ways at church on Sunday. The chill
dren were always cheerful, and It

er girl. After that there was, many
a morning when the little children
had a warm cup of coffee and some
thing besides.
Naturally Mamie did not take a va
cation this summer, but during the
evenings would sit in front of their
home, at No. 93S Atlantic avenue,
mending the clothes Of the little ones,
sometimes walking with them to Pros.
pect Park and sometimes hoping they
would have money enough to take a
TRIP to Coney Island.
Then some n wrote a letter to the

MONTREAL, Sept. 16.-When the

1899, George B.. Blanford, a cattle,

The bottle was picked up recently

and it was not until the good priest
told her that it would be the best
thing for them that she would be com
forted over losing them.
The father was summoned to court
yesterday to explain why he did not
support his children. He said he had
married a woman with four children,
that he had been out of work and it
was impossible for him to support two
families. Magistrate Steers held him
for the Court of Special Sessions and
in default of 5000 bail he was sent to
Jail.

Two great lessons are taught
by the bank trouble in Chicago.
One, the danger of bank officials
becoming financial hackers of en-
terprises outside, has been en-
phasizeG by numerous bank fail
ures in the past few years locally
and generally. The other is the
great brotherhood of business, in
which all interests are united to-
gether, in which modern life has
developed the spirit of helpful
ness, whether from self-protec-
ton or for public good, that in
terests stand by each other. No
matter what the motive, the &C
ton of the Chicago banks in as
suming the burdens of the failed
banks saved to the people mill
lions of money. So far it was a
Christian act, and it proved the
closely allied interests of wealth
and thrift, of small and large pos
session, of capital and the small
rivulets that feed the larger

Golden Wedding.

On the Goth day of December,
1855, Christian Jacoby and Nan
cy Ray, two young people OF
Center township, were united in
marriage. Fifty years have come
and gone and still their home is
in the township where they were
married, about three miles east
of Plymouth. Their children,
Mrs. A. O.. Griener and John r.
Iacoby both have homes near
their father and mother and the
old folks are prepared to give
good reasons why marriage is
not a failure, and we venture the
assertion that the scores of rela-
tives and friends who assembled
to help celebrate the golden we'd
ding felt the same way. May
they live many more years and
be prosperous and happy is the
wish of all.

Anarchy in Russia.

What the end will be in Rus
STA no man can tell. We do not
know definitely what the present
days are bringing forth. News
from the widely scattered En-
pire, always meager enough, has
been made doubly difficult to col
lect through the strike of the tel
egraphers. One day we hear def
initely that many thousands of
people have been slain in riots
at Odessa. Another day we hear
of a riot at Kronstadt. Later
news filters through that show
appalling destruction of life and
property in these places. And
SO it has been at other points.
There have been sundry mutinies
in the navy and in the army, the
latest of these being a revolt OF
the grenadier regiment at Mos
COW, the ancient capital, with the
rest of the troops SO much in
sympathy that the mutineers re-
main in possession of their bar
racks.
The Revolutionists have final
ly made bold to issue their mani
festo and so little feared is the
power Of the government that
the newspapers have dared to
print it. There appears TO be a
demand from both the proletar-
lat and the reactionary classes
for the downfall of the Witte
ministry, and occasionally news
comes from this or that province
that a portion of the people have
set up a provisional government
of their own. In Warsaw the
Jews are guarding their own
quarters with regularly organ
lied armed patrols, a fact that
speaks volumes for the weakness
of the Russian authority in the
Polish capital. What is transpir-
ing in the army of Linevitch in
Manchuria we know not, but the
latest word that came was a rum
or of revolt.
And thus it goes. Anarchy
seems as rampant in Russia to-
day as ever it was in France dur
ing the French revolution. 1t is
a mad year in Russia, and SO fal
as can be seer at this distance
the movement that was begun
for liberty is rapidly developing
into a frenzy of massacre, riot
and rapine. 1t combines the des
perate spirit of a people fighting
against oppression with the still
more desperate fight of the mass
es of poor and ignorant peasants
and workmen against the classe.
that have SO long held them il
bondage. 1t is one of the darl
pictures. of all time.-Indianapo
