300 ISLANDS ARE
NOW TO Be SOLO
Thirty Acres in St. Lawrence
River to Go on Block for
Auction Today.
THEIR VALUE Is ABOUT sso.ooO

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Watertown, N. Y, Aug. 11.-Three
hundred islands in the st. Lawrence
river, varying in size from about so
acres to small pieces of land hardly
so feet long, were offered for sale at
auction here today. While they will
not be put on the block they will be
knocked down to the highest bidder
after the style of all auction sales.
1t is expected about $4,000 will be
realized from the sale.
The story of the islands and their
ownership is an Interesting one. They
were won by the late Henry Yates then
of Schenectady, N. Y. in lottery for
the benefit of the colleges of the Unit
ed States, which was managed by DR..
Eliphalet Mott, the first president Of
Union College, Archibald McIntire and
Henry Yates. Mr.. Yates was nota-
BILE character in his day. He became
immensely rich as the result of the
lottery. He lived in Schenectady until
about 1S47, when he went to Albany,
and lived there until his death. He
was brother of Governor Yates and
was at one time United States SEN
ator. The proceeds from the sale of
the islands will be divided among the
heirs to the Yates estate, among whom
is Bishop Satterlee of Washington

HOME INFLUENCES.
Must Become the Center of National
Regeneration.

The observation of Cardinal Glib
bons. that the home is the center to
which the nation must look for re-
generation and ultimate salvation, is
worthy of deed and lasting considera-
ton says the Cincinnati Inquirer
Government, in all of it's complexities,
is but the expansion of those primal
ideas which first found expression and
application in the regulation of the
family. The strength and perpetuation
OF democracy depend upon the char.
acter of its people. The respect of
the man for the authority of the State
Is In almost exact ratio to the extent
that the child imbibed the fundamental
principles of duty and obedience to
family authority. 1t follows that the
State Is but the reflex of the family
life, and that the importance of home
training and influence can not be too
greatly emphasized. 1t is unfortunate
that laws regulating marriage are lax
and largely imperative. Any man and
woman can enter the welded state
some way, somehow, no matter how
manifestly untitled they may be to be-
come home builders and authors Of
offspring. Crime, sedition and anarchy

from the poisoned soil of bad parent

of preventing unions that can be pro-
ductive only of i'll. it has chosen to
maintain institutions for the proper
care and training of the offspring of
such unions. The task of those to
whom is entrusted the shaping and
molding of these young bodies and
minds Is most difficult one.
They must deal largely with defec-
ity. untruthfulness. deceit. immortality,
legacies Of ill-advised marriages or
perhaps of unlegalized passion, con-
front them at every turn. To combat
such tendencies and to inculcate right
principles, requires strong. tactful
and unyielding personality. There can
be no compromise. The institution
stands in the relation of true home
to the little unfortunate. and as such
it much give to the child all that it has
missed through the delinquency or
failure Of its natural parents. Punish
ment can no more be abrogated in a
corrective institution than it can be in
the home. The child must learn of
the existence of law as natural order
of the universe. and must know that
transgression of law will be followed
by punishment. Tractable and docile
children. in whom the stain of vicious
inheritance may not be ineradicable,
may yield the obedience of affection.
Above the other class. upon whose
heads have descended the sins of the
parents in greater degree. must be
held the hand of stern. uncompromis-
ing authority. Obedience. though it
be exacted only through fear, must in
the end result in good to the child.
1t is we'll that these matters come
to the attention of the public once in
a while. 1t is refreshing to know that
poor little delinquents and detectives,
without proper environment and train
ing through no fault of their own, are
receiving just the kind of treatment
that will result in making of them use
full citizens instead of parasites of
criminals. 1t is good to know that
there are men and women who have
devoted their lives to the uplifting and
rescue of the little ones. who in time,
let us hope, will grow up into strong

Newport. R. L., Aug. 11.-Among
lovers of, polo there is marked re-
vival of interest in the sport this year,
as was evidenced by the large crowd
OF enthusiasts that thronged the field

ionship tournament. The tournament,
which will continue for two weeks,
embraces both the senior and Junior

Both events are we'll filled and the
tournament promises to go down in
history as one Of the most successful
since the introduction of the game in
this country. The senior and junior
events will be followed next month
by the open championship, which will
be contested at Van Cortland Park,
