Act of SnnrfnU Mother.

The wife of a well -known official In
Washington holds some novel ideas
with reference to the punishment of re-
fractory children. Physical chnstise-
ment is most r%epugnant to this lady's
mind, but she has evolved a unique sys-
TEN that has proved successful.
On one occasion a friend was visit
ing her when one of the boys had SUI
reptitiously appropriated an orange be-
longing to his younger brother. The
misdemeanor was discovered before the
culprit had disposed of his spoil so
the youngsters were summoned to the
judgment seat
James, was the stern command Of
the mother. "take this seat: and you.
Thomas. that one. Now, Thomas. give
James the ang you have stolen from
him" sas
When the lads had lone as they were
ordered. the mother added:
James, I want o to take as long
as possible TO eat that orange. You.
Thomas. are to sit there and watch
him eat it: Under no circumstances
are you to leave the roon.'-Uarper's

The recent decision of Judge Rice Of
the Superior court of PENNSYLVANIA, sus-
tanning the lower court in declaring I'M
constitutional the vital section of the law
of 1905, prohibiting the employment of
boys under 1G in the mines and under
IA above ground. is responsible for the
bringing thousands of small boys back in.
TO the mines and breakers. Although thu
prohibition against employment of these
boys stands its effectiveness is totally re-
moved by striking out the provision re-
curing presentation of employment GER
tificates. including the record showing
the holders attendance at school during
the preceding yeara. Florence Kelly, sec
retary OF the National Consumers league,
says in Charities and the Commons, that
the certificates thus. abolished are the
simplest device yet invented for making
the age limit workable, and declares that
these Pennsylvania judges will go down
to history as the enemies of the children,
like the twenty-one Georgia Senators who
last June condemned to deadly toll in thu
COTTON mills by day and by night little
children The Pennsylvania case will
be carried to the supreme court.

Counsel for the defense III Il murder

Attorney. Who was conducting the pros

which had been terminated by the

taken by the prosecution, the attorney
for the defense addressed the presiding
Judge with some heat, intimating that
sufficient leeway in the Introduction Of

But the external Chinatown that has

travelling American must see will not

most ~unforgettable spots under the sun.
1t was the very treasure house Of color.
The tiny shops. both inside and out,
were fairly ablaZe. The decorations
were lavish and wholly Oriental, and
the wares in them were even more than
that. 1t was a strange and h~eatheniSh
aggregation-vases i~nwrought with fan
ciful pictures in gold and silver, cary
ings of ivory hat rivaled the delicate
work Of the patient Hindoo, grotesque
holdings of bronze and figures Of brass
beaten with the cunning skill known
only to the Cantonese. There were ar

LAKE BUSINESS SHOWS A GAIN.
emit Report Indicates Heavy
Movement of Freight.

Government Report Indicates Heavy
Movement Of Freight.
A bulletin issued by the Department of
on the great lakes during April and the
first four months of 1906 exceeds that OF
like periodh in any earlier year. For the
month of April shipments from all points
on the lakes amounted to 4,365,505 net
tons, while for the year to April 30 they
aggregate 5,41S,4S1, a gain for the month
of 1,215,02 and for the four months OF
1892, COG net tons if compared with cor
respnding mvements in 1905.
1t should be noted, however, says the
bulletin. that the unusually heavy west
bound movement of coal was probably in
some degree due to the storing of vast
quantities of this commodity at eastern
ports prior to the opening or the lakes, in
anticipation of a coal strike, while the
general movement of nearly all articles
of may have been accelerated by
the fear of a general strike among steam
ship employees, of which there seemed to
be a probability during the entire month.
OF the coal, iron ore and copper ship
ments-which for April, 1906, comprised
over 80 per cent of the total outbound
movements-the coal moved almost en-
tirely from east to west, while the move
ment of iron and copper was generally in
the opposite direction. OF the April, coal
movement 39S,S39 tons were shipped from
Cleveland and 32S,524 from Buffalo.

Man, his poin.e, good and bad, came
in for Il share of comment at Wednes-
days session of the General Federation
Of Women's Club in st. Paul. Woman's
suffrage had the call and Mrs. Mary
G. Andrews, of Omaha, Neb., took a
fling at men, referring to them as sell
fish because of their failure to extend
the general franchise to women This
declaration brought Mrs. Robert Hal
Wiles of Chicago to her feet with this
defense of men:
1.-THE American man is the most I'M
selfish man in the world. He is much
more unselash than the American wom-
an. Property rights are just as fair
toward women as toward men, and the
delegate from Nebraska is wrong when
she a the men want to keep the bal
lot themselves through selfish motives,
or because they do not want the women
to have property rights. Women can
get as much favorable legislation now
as they could were they able to vote.
We cannot have it go out from here

This was a hot II for the delegate
for Nebraska, who qualified her pre-
yious remarks. She squared herself
thus:

Our National Drink Bill.

Statistics published by the American
Grocer. drawn from the ~interna revenue
records, show that since 1901 the cost of
stimulating beverages consumed in this
country has risen from S1,2T3,212,3S6 to
81, 54S, 7OS,3O7 in 1905, or a gain of 81 1-3
per cent. During the same period the
population increased from 1851, 600 to
SO, 143 ,OOO, or a gain of 6R per cent.
These figures include tea and coffee. In
other words our drink bill is one-fourth
the total estimated production of our en-
tire farm products. The per capita ex.
penditure for stimulating beverages for
the year ending June 30, 1905, was
1883, or S93.15 for each family of five
persons. OF this the cost of tea, coffee
and cocoa was $2.6S, leaving $15.95 for
alcoholic stimulants. Englands drink bill
still costs each inhabitant something over
$40 a year, while the average for male
citizens over Is in Germany is S37.36.

MEXICAN RACE WAR.
FoRTY-FlVE AMERICANS KILLED
IN MINE RIOT.
Outbreaks Follows Strike and De-
mnnd for Increased WnGes-aiex-
leans Fire ON Foreigners ind
Many Fall ut the First Volley.

In a desperate race war between
s~triiiug Mexican miners and Ameri-
caus forty-lIve Americans were killed
Friday at Caaanca, Mexico, where is
located the great copper camp of Col
onei w. G. Greene. The camp vas set
on GIc and it is reported that the Mex
Jeans dCicd all authority. They were
reported 10 be using dynamite in blow
iug up the great smeltcrs and mills
owned by Inc Greene company.
The trouble arose at Cananea over
the demand Of the Mexicans for an in
crease in 4 from $3.50 to s. per
day. Colonel Greene addressed prac-
tically the entire population of the
camp in an effort to pacify the excited
MrXirAus. However, between 4 and 5
o'clock in the afternoon the MeXicans
opened fire on the Americans and forty
Or more were killed.
Colonel Greene wired at once to Bis
bee for all the armed mon that could
be sent to protect the Americans and
their property at Cananea. The popu-
latiGn OF Cananca is 23,0OO. of which
5000 are Americans. The family of
Colonel Greene arrived ut Naco, Ariz.,
Erilay afternoon. but the colonel re-
maiued with his property.
There has been bad blood at Cananea
for some time and only Il month ago
the home Of the superintendent of the
mine was dynamited by unknown par
ties. Friday one of the policemen Of
the city was killed by an American,
-I> ,1.Frnol If N-1S n r~1prSnDDl Oripy-
ance he had. against the MeXican.
George Metcalf. who was in charge
of the large lumber business of the
Greene company, was one Of the first
men to be killed. The Mexican labor
ers had been gathering in a great
crowd during the forenoon and Friday
afternoon about 1900 of them started
from the vicinity of the Sonora hotel
toward the lumber yard.
On the way they stopped at a livery
stable and tried to persuade two Next
cans at work to join them, but they
refused, and when the proprietor told
them the stable was his individual prop
erty and was not connected with the
mining company they left. At the lum-
Der yard a large fire hose was brought
out and as. the crowd approached the
office water was thrown on them. !
At the same time Metcalf advanced
on the crowd with a rifle. The Next
cans closed in on him, took the gun
from his hands and beat him to death
with it. William Metcalf, a nephew,
rushed to the rescue Of his uncle. when
he was shot by a Mexican. Three Mex
leans were killed at the lumber yard.

1881, and served continuously for eight
cen years. and nearly all of that time
he was the leader of the Democratic
party in the Senate.
Winning early u reputation for sa-
sacity and the kcencst Judgment H.
congressional affairs, he attained prom
lnCnce, not only as 4 leader in the
Senate but in the country at large.
and by many men was considered the
most available man in his party for
the presidency. He was chairman of
the Executive Committee and managed
the campaign that resulted in the cleo
ton of Cleveland in 1884.
The most notable contest of his con.
yrcSSional career and one which at
tracted to him wider attention than
anything else was when he led the
Senate minority in 1901 and defeated
the Federal elections bill. To his sagn-
cious leadership and adroit manage
mcnt his party friends attributed the
defeat OF the measure which WAS SC
obnoxious to the South.
When the Democrats had control of
the Senate German was the recognized
leader of that body. It was at that
time that the tariff bill Of 1894 was
passed and although the Maryland Sen
atOr was not a member of the Finance
Committee he had so much to do with
shaping that measure that his name is
often given to it and, in fact. it is fire.
quently called the Wilson-GorInan
tariff.
1t was during CIeveland's last admin
lstration that Il break occurred between
the Democratic President and the lead
er of the party in the Senate.
In a speech which always will be re-
membered by those who heard it, Sen
ntor German severely a%rraigned the
President. To this opposition the de-
feat of Senator German q few years
later is attributed, although his party
lost Maryland in the silver campaigns.
AS soon as the Democrats regaineu
control of the State he was at once re.
elected to the Senate.
Condemning extravaganza in public
expenditures, Senator Germans pleas
for economy voiced the views OF his
party that less money should be spent
for big ships and more for river and
harbor improvements.
