MRS. SAGE TO DISTRIBUTE
HUSBANDS MONEY AT HOME
Bv Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Mrs. Russell
Sage, widow of the financier, today gave
out a statement in which she declared
that II Is not her intention to distribute
Immediately the money left by her hus-
band and much less does she intend
to distribute it everywhere and to ev-
erybody.
She declared that she has at her own
doors plenty of cases of need which
have a nearer claim on her than the
people of other cities whose needs, she
believes, can and should be met by
philanthropic persons in those states
The earliest date at which her hus-
bands estate can be closed up, she
says, is one year from his death, and
therefore present applications are pre-
mature.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-When Mr..
Perkins was asked tonight whether he
cared to make any statement regarding
the action of the grand Jury he replied;
mo; l am more concerned tonight
over the death of President Cassatt of
the Pennsylvania than with any per-
sonal affair.
THE country has lost great public
servant who devoted busy and try
ing life to the up-building for the public
benefit of our greatest of railroads.
HE died of a broken heart-a heart
broken by the constant bounding of

A. ]. Beveridge addressed the closing
meeting of the Nebraska state Teach
ers' association here tonight, speaking
on THE Schools and the Nation" He
was introduced by W. ]. Bryan
Nothing he said, shows how
much greed forgets humanity as child
slavery. There is something wrong
with a prosperity which is so immense
that 1t finally comes to feed upon the
lives of little children. Men who make
money by working infants are making
too much money
"There are at low estimate half a
million children under IA years at work
in the cotton mills, glass factories,
sweatshops, mines and like industries.
Those whom such toll does not kill are
being ruined for citizenship.
I'VE are turning out at low esti-
mate 100000 adult London hooligans
every year and these become in turn
the parents of hundreds of thousands
of other degenerates. And so this civic
pestilence spreads.
ut must be stopped-if not for the
sake of these children themselves. then
for our own sake; if not for the sake
OF common humanity tnen IOr the sake
of the republics safety, for this re-
public is based on citizenship. We
cannot SOW the wind today without
reaping the whirlwind tomorrow
"If everybody, including the most
earnest advocates of state rights, could
agree on national quarantine law to
keep out yellow fever, which does not
kill twenty people in twenty years,
how much more should we agree on a
national child labor law to stop a
practice that actually kills thousands
of children and irreclaimably ruins
tens of thousands every year?"

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2S.-Alexan-
der Johnston Cassatt, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company and
one of the foremost men and financiers
in the country died suddenly at his
residence in this city today Of heart
disease, aged 81 years.
Though Mr. Cassatts death was un-
expected, he had been in i'll health for
nearly a year. His condition was ag-
gravated by an attack of whoopine
cough which he contracted from his
grandchildren while at Bar Harbor in
September. He never entirely recov-
cred from this attack, and when he
returned to Philadelphia he remained
several weeks at his country home in
Haverford.
During November he was sufficiently
recovered to. resume his work. and he
continued attending to important mat
ters until his birthday, December 8.
Again it was reported that he was Sc
riously i'll, but this was denied.
Mr.. Cassatt spent much of his time
driving and he was out as late as
Monday. Subsequently he was known
to have been confined to bed, but even
then his condition was not considered
as alarming.
While not feeling entirely well, Mr..
Cassatt arose from his bed this morn
ing but remained in his room. He
seemed in good spirits and his family
was not alarmed about his condition
and had no thought of his death.
Shortly before l o'clock he suffered
an acute heart attack and became un-
conscious. His wife and his daughter
Mrs. w. H. Lunkett Stewart, were
with him and a physician was sum-
moned, but he was dead when the
physician arrived. The latter said

PARIS. Dec. 2S.-The senate today
concluded the general debate on the
new church measure and the principle
of the bill was voted by 1877 ayes to 81
noes. There remains only discussion
of the details of the various sections
pleted tomorrow.
Minister of Education BRAND called
forth repeated applause by assurances
of the governments determination not
to enter upon supertluous negotiations
with Rome and not to accede to the
Vatican's evident desire for persecu-
tion.
"The Vatican" declared M. BRAND,
"has refused liberty The bill does not
violate the spiritual influence of the
hierarchy" he continued, "and proof
of this is found In the fact that many
bishops. clergymen and influential lay
men considered the law of 1905 accent
able, but were compelled to refrain
from submission thereto because OF an
obedience to Rome which resembled
slavery. The government had offered
the church full benefits of the common
law, hitherto demanded by the pope,
but 1t would not accord special rights
to the hierarchy.
"rhe church's loss of property was
her own fault" continued the minister.
"The present bill will place the church
within the law in spite of herself and
oblige the pope. If he desires to con-
tinue resistance to resort TO private
worship, and this measure never would
be accepted by the Catholics of
France.
1.-The cessation of public worship, II
II came about, would emanate from
Rome" M. BRAND averred, "and this
would be clearly understood by the
country at large"
The senate has ordered that M.
Brands speech be placarded through
out France.

Coast Delegation Investigates Canal

Members Of tho Pacific coast dele

ing the recess of congress. A party
of them representing the states of
Washington, Oregon, California, Utah
and Idahov held a conferencd this week
to determine upon n policy regarding
legislation pertaining to the Chinese
and japanese. In addition, several of
the members have left for Panama,
where they will investigate conditions
and Will spend about five days along
the route of the canal
The chief object will be to determine
just what advantages will accrue COM
mercially to the Pacific slope when the
canal Is opened and also to learn with
as much certainty as possible about
what time the big ditch will be finished
so IS to enable preparations to be made
to take care of the increased trade.
Still another feature that will be
looked into by the committee going to
the isthmus will be the labor situa-
tion. 1t has been said that no coole
labor has been used in the digging
of the ditch. This the committee will
see for itself, for there has been
great outcry on the Pacific slope
against the employment of Chinese.
The committee will return shortly

JEFF Davis VIII Roar In Senate

An event eagerly looked forward to
when congress reconvenes Is the ad-
vent of the Hon. Jefferson Davis, new
senator from Arkansas.
Senator Davis expects to leap into
the senatorial arena with loud roar,
seize the national government by the
tail and whirl 1t savagely round his
head. He expects to cure all business
ills by virtue of certain legislative nos
trums with which he has Experimental
while governor of Arkansas.
1t is scarcely likely that he will ex-
ert very much influence along this
line, however, for his own state is
writhing under the drastic laws that
he compelled. Already he has driven
the large fire insurance companies out
of the state and the International
Harvester company, employing a small
army OF men in Arkansas, has been
compelled to close up it's business there
because of unjust and absolutely I'M
practicable laws.

ing until time to cook them, and the
same crock used at night for milk.
There are ladies who wash crooks
containing bits of sour milk after all
the dishes are done. rinse them in
cold water and then strain the wait
ing milk into them. And yet these
people call themselves clean.
1t is nothing short of cheating to
demand a good price for poor butter.
Have the courage to ask your grocer
what becomes of your product and
then set about remedying the mistake
if he cannot make a fair profit on it.
You are willing to learn new things
about cooking and dressmaking and
other things, why not adopt some up
tO-date ideas about making butter?
Water is cheap and sunshine free, so
give your milk vessels a thorough
bath twice a day i'm scalding water and
summing from morning till night. If
you have the dreadful habit of putting
old butter into the churn just before
taking the new out of the buttermilk
to 'freshen it up," do get away from
that practice.

A Seedless Seeding.

c. E. Johnson, who lives on East
State street, brought into this office
this week some samples of an orange
which is another new freak in the line
of citrus production. And we may re-
mark, parenthetically, that the whole
citrus family is noted for its sport
ing" proclivities.
This orange grows an seeding
tree, yet it is seedless. The skin is
rather rough, the fruit is of good size,
very tender pulp with little rag, and
has so many good qualities that it
seemed worthy of special watching
for the next few years. If it contin-
ues to show up well it will be pro-
pagated as a "seedless seedling"-
