The town OF New Castle. Colo,
where President Roosevelt left the
railway train to plunge into the will

of a subterranean fire which Is grad

the Rocky Mountains, says VIM. 4.
Curtis. In the Chicago Record Herald.
"Fhsre are macy burning mines In
the United States-coal banks that
have caught fire and cannot be extin-
guished. There ought to be one
within the city limits OF Pittsburg,
which had been burning for a gener-
alton when l last heard about 1t, and
may be burning yet. Tine coal orig

and the operators were not able To
put 1t out. There are several burn
Ing mines In the anthracite region,
also. Some OF them are situated so
that they cannot be flooded, and 9TH
crs are allowed To burn because they
are not worth noueh to Justify the
expense Of putting the fires out.
Near Marshall, Boulder county,
Colo, a 300-acre furnace has been
burning since the early eos, and
millions OF dollars worth OF coal has
been consumed. Many thousands
have been expended In trying to ex'
tinguish the flames during the last
10 years that they have ragged, with.

successful, and the owners have nov
abandoned the property TO burn itsell

the agitation for a boycott OF Ameri-
can goods In an effort to secure the
repeal OF the Chinese exclusion laws
continues. The chief argument for
the repeal Is found In the fact that
the present restrictions apply not
only to coolies, hut 10 the better
classes OF the Chinese--students
travellers, etc. who seek to visit the
United States, not with view OF
entering Into industrial competition
with Americans, hut for the purpose
OF study and recreation. The present
laws work an undeniable hardship
ON these classes OF Chinese visitors,
aud yet IL Is a difficult matter TO
draw the line. Almost every China.
man possesses fair education, so
that 1t would he paratively easy
for coolies to pass an ordinary edu-
cational test. Not being endowed
with anything approaching a high
standard OF truthfulness, the coolie
would not hesitate To stoop to de.
ception In order 10 gain admission TO
the country. This condition, with
the many subterfuges employed by
immigration agents. has rendered
necessary the rigid laws now Ia force
which operate TO the disadvantage OF
the really acceptable Chinaman as
well as TO the exclusion ~ the Chi
nese labor. The difficulty of drawing
the line between the coolie aud the
Chinese gentleman Is responsible
for the condition.

Day Nurseries,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Day nurseries, for the establishment OF
which q movement Is now unoer way In
this city, would lessen the demand for pub
lie charity by making 1t possible for those
who are able and willing 20 work 20 do SO,
and It would bar those who could and are
not willing to work by removing the excuse.
There is always some kind of work for
those who are willing to do any kind of
honest labor. They would enable class of
children to attend school who are now kept
home to care for the younger members of
| the family. These children are unavoidably
defrauded of their rights to an education,
beside being made prematurely old by the
burdens and responsibilities Of life laid
upon them so early.
These nurseries would send an elevating
influence into these homes of poverty. What
a different aspect life would have to the
mother who goes home after her days work
to have two or three well-fed clean. happy
little children brought to her. to the one
who goes home to find them dirty, hungry
and unruly, truly helpless to change these
conditions, she is hopeless, as there is no
help.
better home life. and they would also rem
edy the crowded condition of the chflden's
hospitals for about 90 per cent of the pa
tents are from this neglected class. Sur
round these children with good home in
fiuence from birth to the age OF seven and
YOU will in large measure check the tide
that is sweeping them into Juvenile courts,
thence to the reformatory schools, sani-
tarumns, etc.
This is a broad proposition, the need is
infinitely broader and. we believe, vital to
both the church and state. Is 1t not time
for thinking men and women to look into
this phase of life? We believe if properly
conducted on requisite plans this nursery
system might be made the foundation of
muchly needed reform measure in this
strata of life, as well as curtailing the ex-
penses along all reformatory lines. Large
sums of money are constantly being spent
for the reformation of these children. Why
not apply the old adage, An ounce of pre-
vention, ETC." which we believe can be
demonstrated by the day nurseries?
