Wanting but three of fourscore years, he retained the ambitions and the enthusiasm of youth. In u materialstic age, he endured as seeing him who is invisible"
 At a meeting of employed boys in con- nectlon with the Patterson, N. J., Y. M. C. A., it was found that 16 were em- ployed in silk mills, were office boys, errand boys, ? wagon boys, from the To- comotive works. 3 worked in machine shops and 15 were employed after school carrying papers. Out of 40 boys em ployed about valuable horses at the Brookdale stock farms, 20 attend a Bible class. Only one boy was Christian when the class was organized, but now many are.

With With this as an only means of support he tramped over 2OO0 miles in year and a half selling books by day and stopping at farm houses at night.

LABOR AGENTS
 ARE NOT WAN TED Alleged Offender Will be QueS-
 toned by Mayor YOUNG MEN WANT Y. MIG. A, EnsIey Lodges Are Active-Visiting Methodist Ministers Will Again

 Today.
YOUNG MEN WANT Y. M. C. A,

Ensley. May 12.-(Special)-A case that promises to arouse considerable interest will come up before the Mayor on Mon day morning. It was brought up this morning, but the alleged offender was allowed to make bond.
 It seems that this man has been acting as a kind of labor agent for some foreign corporation in violation of the city ordl- nance which specifically prohibits such operations being carried on. Inasmueh as the plants located here have great difficult ty in securing sufficient labor to operate on full time, it is felt that 1t would be suicidal to allow labor agents full license. Besides this, there is a natural repugnance on the part of most people for their underhanded way of getting things.
 The young men who have taken up the proposition to secure a branch of the Young Mems Christian association for Ensley report that the movement Is meet ing with favor About sixty of the rep resentative young men of the town have pledged themselves to aid the project, and In case it finds favor with the Young Mems Christian association in Birmlng- ham, the plan will be pushed rapidly through.

Pay of the Officers.

The salaries paid army surgeons are very
small compared with the incomes OF first
class physicians. No army surgeon can
ever hope TO make more than $500 year
1t will be quarter and perhaps third OF
century before he can hope to get as
much as So 800, and the greater part of his
life he must live upon $1,000 or less, while
during the first few years of his career he
receives less than the wages of an ordinary
plumber or carpenter, because he does
not belong TO labor union that will pro-
tect and defend him in his efforts to make
a living. Hence there must be some other
than pecuniary inducement offered for am
bilious and highly educated young men te
enter the corps. That inducement is usu-
ally found in the attractions of the military
service. In the rank, the authority, the social
prestige. the uniform and the title, but pro-
motion is now so slow that II offers scarcely
any incentive.
The regular medical staff of the army, as
Is we'll known. is supplemented by the en-
ployment of what are known as contract
surgeons" who are appointed for term of
years when additional doctors are necessary
and are paid 500 a year. The regular
corps Is now small that IL has been nee
essary to appoint great many OF them.
In the i've years since the Spanish war
there have been 1904 appointments and
1,5l2 discharges of contract surgeons. Each
one discharged had TO be- transported at

Special Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, March 2. 1905.
The residents of Prince George county
are gratified because of the prospect of the
bill to macadam the Washington and Balt-
more turnpike between the two cities be-
coming law. The bill passed the house
of delegates, and there is said to be every
reason to believe that 1t will not be serious
ly opposed in the senate. DIR. Richard S.
Hill. of Prince George county. a member of
the house, introduced the bill several weeks
ago. A somewhat novel feature of the bill
is the provision that work upon the high
way shall be performed by convicts from
the Maryland house of correction. Should
the bill become a law itpis likely that the
entire amount secured under the provisions
of the Shoemaker act will be used to
macadam the Washington and Marlboro
turnpike. Application for the county's share
of state money under this act has already
been applied for by the county commits
-sioners, and should all the money to which
the county is entitled be used the approx
mate amount available for work on the
Marlboro pike will be in the neighborhood
of S25, 600.

THE GOVERNMENT INTERESTED.
Proposition to Make the G. and D.
Canal COMPANY Profitable.

The committee on canals and railroads of
the state legislature of Maryland is con-
siderfng bill granting to the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal Company the right to
collect a toll of % cents per capita for
passengers carried through the canal
The Chesapeake and Delaware canal has
double distinction. 1t is probably the
oldest canal in the western hemisphere
being started In 1899, and 1t Is the only
canal In which the United States govern
ment is interested financially beside the
Par anna canal. The United States is the
largest stakeholder. The state of Pennsyl-
vania Is next, holding 100000. Maryland
and Delaware have $4,000 and S25, COO re-
spectively.
When the canal was first built, the actual
dirt flying work beginning in 1924 the
United States invested $4,000 in bonds.
For nearly a half century the treasury
officials received a check each year of the
little dividend coming to the government
THESE amounted IN the aggregate to $500
GEO. but since 1877 not a penny has been
received.
If the bill passes the MARYLAND leeisla-
ture the revenue of the old company will
be increased to about $25. 900 or $50 600 per
annum, the number of passengers car
ried through the canal each year being
from 10000 to 10000. This would save
the government from losing the money
which was invested quarters of a CEN
tury ago, and insure a small dividend to
the stockholders
The company is just now facing deficit
of S11, 6S1.31, which has been accommodating
for the last ten or eleven years. A short
while ago Senator France Of Cecil county
through which the canal runs, introduced
bill providing for toll of 25 cents
upon every passenger travelling through
the canal The Ericsson Steamboat Com
pany is the principal carrier using this
canal, which connects the Chesapeake and
Delaware bays and that corporation is
fighting tooth and nail the bill which will
put the canal company upon It's feet,
Among the witnesses who have appeared
before the committee at Annapolis was As
sistant Secretary Taylor OF the treasury.
