BRAVE DECATUR.
The Story Of His Fierce Attack on q
Tripojitan Vessel,

The Story Of His Fierce Attack on .
TripoIitan Vessel.
Gardner w. Allen in his book, "Our
Navy and the Barbary Corsairs," re-
tells the old story of how Commodore
Stephen Decatur, then q lieutenant In
the United States navy, attacked q
Trip0litan vessel. The incident occur
red In 1904. when Preble was lying Of
Trihaat: Young Decatur had been
told that the captain st this vessel had
treadherously murdered his brother,
John Decatur. after he had surren-
dered to him. Mr.. Allen writes: HE
ran alongside and at once boarded with
Nacdonough and the remnant Of his
crew. Decatur singled out the, captain.
a man OF great size and strength, and
attacked him 1uriously. The Tripoli-
tan made a thrust with his boarding
pike, and in attempting to parry the
blow Decatur's cutlass was broken of
at the hilt. leaving him for the moment
unarmed. Another thrust Of the pike
wounded him In the arm. Decatur
seized the weapon, wrenched It away
and grappled with his antagonist. After
a short struggle they fell to the deck.
with Decatur on top.
Meanwhile the two crews were
fighting furiously about their leaders,

seaman named Daniel Frazier, having
both arms disabled by wounds, inter-
posed his head and received the blow,
which laid open the scalp. The Tripod
itan captain, being more powerful than
Decatur, soon turned him underneath
and, holding him down with his left
hand, drew a knife and was about to
plunge it into his breast.
Decatur seized the uplifted arm
with his left hand, while he managed
to get his right into his pocket, where
he had a pistol. Giving it the proper
direction. he fired through the pocket
The giant relaxed his hold and fell
dead. Having lost seventeen killed
including their leader the seven sur

wounded, soon gave up the fight"

tied by the decision OF the United
States supreme court, rendered last
week in tho New York franchise tax
case. under which the public utility
corporations of that state must pay
accumulated taxes amounting to
n1any millions of dollars. And the
annual revenue hereafter from the
same source will, it is said, furnish
ample revenue tor state purposes to
exempt personal property altogether
from taxation. We agree with the
Pittsburg Kansan, that it is the most
important decision, relative to taxa
ton, rendered since the Civil War:
for, to quote the language Of the
Johnstown Democrat:
1.-The Supreme Court declares that
the right to use the public streets and
ways Is property right and that the
value Of this right is a land value
and as much subject to taxation as
a town lot or a tract of agricultural
or mineral land.
"The court insists that franchises
are not contracts, but that on the
other hand they are mere grants:
and if this be true, tho whole railway
and monopoly problem takes q new
aspect; and its solution no longer
need wait on the convenience or tho
pleasure of the holders of franchises.
Their surrender to the people can be
enforced at any time by the simple
expedient OF taxing away their value.
And ultimately this will be DONE"
Supreme Justice Brewer, who
wrote the opinion Of the court, says
therein:
1T must be borne in mind that
presumptively all property within the
territorial limits of the state Is SUBJ
jet to its taxing power. It would
not be doubted that it grant Of
specific, tangible property. like q
tract OF land, and the payment there
for was a gross sum, no implication
of an exemption from taxation would
arise. Whether the amount was
large or small, greater or less. II
the payment was distinctly the con-
sideration Of the grant, that which
was granted would pass into the bulk
of material property, and like all
such property be subject to taxation.
If this be true in reference to a grant
Of tangible property, it is equally
true with respect to grant of a
franchise, for franchise, though in
tangible, is none the less property,
and oftentimes property of great
value"

WOMAN AND THE LABEL.

"Organized labor is not a class
movement" says Miss Annie C. Pat
terson, who has recently resigned
from her office of chairwoman of the
Label Committee of the Brooklyn
Federation of Labor. II am con-
WINGED that the working people are
the bulwark and foundation of So
ciety, and that it is by their efforts
society has been raised to it's present
standard.
LET me explain briefly to you the
object Of this particular organization
and what an influence women are in
1t. think If women could be made
to see just how they can help and
how much they can do, many who are
now disinterested would become &C.
tive workers in this good cause.
LAS women are the buyers for their
families. they are therefore the en-
rloyers. So II woman demands the
union label on whatever goods she
buys she forces the shopkeeper to
purchase union-label goods and en-
ploy union workmen. In this way
she prevents the horrors of the sweat
shop and child labor, and benefits
the situation for evryone concerned.
1--WE also know that goods made
under union label protection arc
made under more sanitary condt
lions, and herein lies but one OF
many ways to profit by the new
conditions.
II think the greatest good that has
been accomplished by the union la.
bel Is the lessening of child labor and
sweatshop work. for no article that
bears the label can possibly have been
made by child labor. The union re.
CURES a certain age before anyone
is allowed to work under it's proteo
ton.
1.-THE way, then, for women tc
help is to demand whenever and
wherever possible the label on al

OLD NEW ORLEANS ROME
n,.o,~, <ho Mar, 0rlaona pioa v1nno


"A historic house is being demolished
at the corner Of st. Claude and Urse-
lines streets. For century it has been
q landmark at that point. For many
years 1t has belonged to the Bermudez
family, Of which the late Chief Justice
Bermudez was g. representative. When
it was built IL not certain, and opinions
disagree. It is stated in some Of the
guide books that O'Reilley, the first
Spanish governor, lived there. It may
be that he did. but other authorities
think It was too early q date for the
house to have been built IN that loca-
lily. They believe that Casacalvo. the
next to the last Of the governors under
who lived there. It Ia also reported
that Lafayette was entertained there
by the Marignys.
The building IL known as one OF the
Oldest in the city, and generation after
generation has passed by and seen 1t
change from 4 splendid mansion to the
wreck 1t has been Of late. It stands
back from st. Claude street probably
100 feet. and has wide lawns in front
and on the downtown side. Unlike the
old Spanish houses generally. 1t occu-
pies the rear of tho land and leaves
the space in front. The walls are very
thick and strong, and even the small
building in the rear, which had Ave or
six small cell-like rooms, evidently in
tended for servants. had walls nearly
two feet thick. The ironwork on the
stairs, &c. is hammered iron, like that
Of the Cabildo, but there IL a. gallery
OF cast iron on one side. The rooms are
large and the halls wide.

construction. Most Of the material IL
perfectly sound.
The present owners will erect four
or Ave double cottages, to be rented,
being more anxious to secure an in

serve an antiquity.

THIS LIFE OF OURS; WHAT IS 1T?

THIS LIFE OF OURS; WHAT IS 1T?
The definition of life varies with
the man who defines it. Nowadays,
when the insurance companies are
insuring our lives, we ought to know
exactly what it is.
Some persons have said that life
was nuisance and a bore. But
even when they say so, they know
exceedingly we'll they would not sac
ritice it. Even though it may be
rather dull, we cling to it to the end.
But would we cling to it II we
knew exactly and scientifically what
it is? Most of us simply think that
it is living from day to day, finding
a certain amount of enjoyment, a
larger amount of worry and a con-
siderable amount of sorrow. That is
the unscientif1c point Of view.
Here is the scientific point of view
as it is expressed by Herbert Spen-
Ger: Life is series of changes
from homogeneity to heterogeneity
through differentiation to integra-
tion."
If we knew that life was such a
complication Of polysyllibic words, it
would have been harder for all of us
to live it. The only reason that
ninety-nine out of a hundred people
live cheerfully and happily-and
most Of them dds because they
have never had an opportunity to
read Mr.. Spencer's books and to dis
cover exactly what they were doing.
The Labor World is not a philoso-
pher. 1t does not profess to contain
within itself all the wisdom of the
ages. But it does believe that this
life which it's readers are living is a
pretty good life; that it is made good
or bad largely by the actions of the
man or woman who leads 1t. We do
lot question the fact that environ
ment sometimes hurts and sometimes
helps the one who lives. The cruel
sorrows of poverty and the foolish
follies OF wealth may help to make
life not worth living. But in the
end the individual does count for a
great deal. Even though the injus-
tice Of social system, in which JUS
fice Dlavs no mart NAV nress nnon
him, il he knows how to live righte-
ously, il he carries brave heart and
cheerful mind, he and his will go
: through this world of care and sor-
row without ever knowing whether
he changes from homogeneity to het-
crogeneity.

II the labor movement had no set
beacks, we would begin to think that
something was wrong with the or
Plantations. Continued and unbrok-
en- success would tend to intoxicate
the membership with power. This
In the end would lead to the destruc-
ton of the movement.

The most despicable scamp in all
the world is the fellow who, too cow
ardly to come out in open like a man,
sneaks around trying to work little
schemes to defeat some man or
measure. One little cuss like that
in an organization can keep q dozen
real men busy watching him; but,
like all mean things, he comes to an
end sooner or later.

TEA IDEAL STndULANT.

Every little while there is an outcry
against the practices Of tea and
coffee drinking, says the Journal Of
American Medical association. Lately
it has been alleged that the degener-
acy observed in the lower classes of
Great Britain is largely due to the inn
mense quantity of tea which il drunk
few people do drink too much tea
and would be better without it. But
tea drinking. as In China, may be the
salvation Of g. people from much
greater evils. The decoction has, ut
least, the advantage Of having been
sterili1ed by heat and water-drinking
in China has Its dangers, 40 many an
old traveller can testify.
The immense quantities OF tea used
without apparent damage by some Of
the most robust peoples in the world
other than the Chinese, such, for ex-
ample. a. the Russians, the Hudson
the North, does not testify to its evil
effects on general health under proper
conditions. For cold country it Is
almost an ideal stimulant. reviving the
energies, even after almost apparently
complete exhaustion. and anording a
feeling of comfort that hardly anything
else can give, and this without any
noticeable uncomfortable after-efects.
OF course, in our civilization there
are some who take too much of many
things for their own good, but even in
these cases It is hard to say that the
evil is az great az sometimes charged.
The practice Of giving large quantities
Of strong tea to mere infants. which
is common among certain Of the poorer
classes Of our cities, of course. cannot
be too much condemned. but It is as
tonishing how many infants seem to
thrive on it.
There should be some discrimination
in the general condemnation of such
stimulants as tee and coffee. They
probably do more good than harm and
we should welcome their use, II, by
any means or to any extent, they can
be made a substitute for things that
are worse, and If the habit were uni
versal in some of the unsanitary COM
munities we might find 1t the safe
guard against many serious evils.

builded long before the union label

of Wales, married Mrs. Fitzherbert, a
noted court beauty. She was a Cath
Ole, under the English law the heir to
the throne could not contract legal
marriage with q member OF that sect.
The marriage was secret. but 1t was
generally believed that the ceremony
had been perforrnd, although later the
prince married Caroline OF Brunswick.
A son was born to George and Mrs.
Fitzherbert who took the name OF
Ord and came to America. His des-
cendants have long known OF the. re-
lationship and the other day Mrs.
F'itzherbert's papers. which had been
sealed and left in London bank with
instructions to open them after GER
tain period with the consent of the
reign'ng monarch, were unsealed with
the consent OF King Edward and re-
vealed the complete evidence OF the
marriage and the name of the son who
migrated to America. The information
was made public by order of the king,
and the direct heirs in the male line

good women, happy wives, loving

There are certain duties parents owe

is to keep their minds pure and free
from evil thoughts. When childs
mental diet at home consists OF the
common gossip of community, such
as prevails In any town, they lose faith
in humanity. The seed of corruption
is sown, grows and eats like a canker.
Parents cannot be too cautious of the
