A SAD CASE
Boys Left in Idleness and Unrestrained
and the Result.

Recently in Burket county court
room a grief-stricken mother surren-
dered the last cent she could rake
and scrape and borrow to save her
son from the Chang ang. It was a
piteous spectacle and one presenting
a great moral lesson. The son had
been raised and encouraged in idle
ness and Sinking and selishness
and Carelessness until he had natur-
ally and inevitably developed into a
lawless, disorderly citizen. The les
son is that there are hundreds and
thousands of boys (ten, twelve and
fourteen years of age) headed in thai
direction now, travelling as fast as
life allows. They drop out of school
because they do not want to work.
and then take to the streets and the
byways that lead to ruin. They
have sown the wind and they shall
reap the whirlwind." They are
idling on the streets and they shall
work on the roads unless something
is done to head them off from their
logical destination. A sad day is
dawning when parents acknowledge
their inability to control their own
bows. These same boys ought to be
kept at work at something, even II
the parents have to pay for the priv
ilege; otherwise there will be a harc-
er debt to pay in later years by the
boys and the parents and the COM
munity.-Morganton Herald.

Ought Not the People to Know?

The president has authorized Sena-
tor Carter Of Montana to say that IL
the Beveridge amendment to the ag-
ricultural bill is passed he will not
make public the report OF Professor
Charles p. Mcneil, commissioner Of
abor, who investigated the packing
houses Of Chicago. but that IL the
amendment is defeated he will send
he report TO congress. This Is a threat
that. il Is expected, will cause the
packing houses to withdraw their OPP
position to the amendment
In some OF h Washington Dispatch
es the statement is made that the pack
ing houses are not opposing the
amendment, that they are only too
glad to avoid exposure by expressing
a Willingness 20 have the amendment
passed. It seems, however. from what
Senator Carter says. they are opposing
the amendment. But whether they OPP
pose 1t or not ought not the president
let the public know all about n
abuses hat have been discovered in
the packing houses? If rotten and
filthy meats are being put on the mar
ket and sold as good meat the public
should be made acquainted with the
fact. Publicity Is about the only way
TO reach the evil.
1t may be that the Beveridge amend
rnent would have a good effect because
every animal before being slaughtered
and every carcass would have 10 be
inspected and tagged-that is. every
carcass shipped out Of the states in
which the packing houses are situated
but might Ii not be an easy matter
10 put spoiled meats OF one kind and
another on the market without the
knowledge Of the inspectors? It Is
said, for instance, that spoiled hams
are subjected 10 a treatment that
makes il almost impossible 10 detect
their real condition. and there are 9TH
er meats unfit for human consumption
that are dealt with chemically and
then put upon the market
II the abuses were made public the

situated would take hold of the mat
ter and insist upon sanitary conditions.

Susan B. Anthony was considerably
improved tonight, and the doctor now
entertains strong hopes of her ulti-

Instead, however, of becoming weak

Portable night, sleeping quietly and
apparently gaining strength.
Miss Anthony's temperature is
normal. An encouraging sign, and
one which relieves the mind of the
physician, is the fact that Miss An
thony is now able to take and retain
some nourishment.
1t is hoped that the advances of
the pneumonia have been permanent
ly checked. The left lung has nearly

Princinle of PAYMENT.

I.ondon-The house Of commons af-

of the evening session. carried by a
majority of 238 the motion introduced
by the capitalist liberal, Wirral Hes
keith Lever, representing the Wirral
division of Cheshire. in favor Of pay

$500 yearly.
In the course of the debate Premier
Campbell Zimmerman spoke cordially
in favor of the principle of the pay
ment of members, but said the gov
ernment at present had neither the
the time nor the money to carry it
into effect.
For the reasons given, the premier
explained, no legislative effect will be
given Mr.. Levers motion.
The great accession of labor mem
bers to the house of commons has
made the matter of payment a press

contending that there ought to be

Paris-The Rouvier ministry was
defeated in the chamber of deputies
Wednesday, and Immediately re-
signed.
The cabinet crisis comes at a most
dramatic moment, when the Franco
German contest has reached decisive
stage, and may exert an important ad-
varso iuenon oo..a - ''-a.i' s. --ie7"~l-'--
ference and on European affairs,
The defeat of the government came
suddenly, on a comparatively minor
debate over the church disorders.
The government succeeded in holding
only 234 votes, while the various ele-
ments in Opposition-clericals, socia-
lists and atlonalists-united, polled
267 votes, thus placing the ministry
in a minority of 33,
Premier Rouvier, with all of his
colleagues, Immediately proceeded to
the foreign Office, where d joint letter
of resignation was prepared.
Later NJ. Rouvier presented this let
ter to Pres. Fallieres, who accepted
the designations. The president an
nounced his intention of consulting
the president of the senate and cham
Der of deputies tomorrow, relative to
the formation Of new cabinet.
The debate In the chamber of depu-
ties was upon the bloody riot during
the inventory of a church in the
village of Boeschepe, resulting in the
death of a manifestant.
Various orators severely criticised
the governments course, asserting
that it threatened to precipitate a re-
| ligious war
Premier Rouvier responded: "The
government has the duty to apply the
law. 1t will apply it without weak
ness, but also with the prudence, tact
and wisdom consistent with public
tranquility. ask the adoption Of a
resolution approving these declara-
| tions of the government"
The resolution was thereupon put
| to a vote and defeated by q eesI.t'i''a-
uon OF opposition influences. The
vote was more expressive of personal
antagonism to the ministry than Of
opposition to the church inventories.
Having returned from presenting to
Pres. Fallieres the resignation Of the
ministry, M. Rouvier was surrounded
| in the lobbies of the chamber Of depu-
ties by groups Of members, who ex-
pressed their regret at his abandon
ment of Office. M. Rouvier displayed
not the slightest emotion. Replying

Responding to the declaration of
another deputy that he might have
carried opinion with him, M. Rouvier
said:

tion; but the sentiment of the cham
Der was against the cabinets remain
ing in Office until the election and the
struggle would have begun again to-
morrow. 1t was better to finish i'm

Coal Settlement Weeks Away

New York-Uncertainty in the coal
situation probably will be prolonged
until the end of March Even " the
mittees meet this week to confer on
the miners demands they can hardly
reach conclusion by next Monday.
That day Pres. John Mitchell and
most of the anthracite miners will
leave here for Indianapolis for a gen.
eral convention of the United mine
workers of America, to begin next
Thursday. They are to have joint
convention there with the softcoal op-
orators March 10. 1t is unlikely that
n soft-coal agreement or a strike deci-
sion will be reached before the end
of that week.
March &c is. therefore, the first day
on which serious negotiations on the
hard-coal miners propositions can be
expected to begin.
The soft-coal situation grows more
uncertain. When President Roosevelt 8
letter to Mitchell and Robbins forced
a renewal of the negotiations it
looked as if the danger Of strike
of the bltuminous miners was all
over. Since then, however, operators
opposed to granting any advance in
wages have been making headway.

sohooner,s Crew Rescued.

Gloucester. Mass.--Capt. Thomas f.
Hart and seven men of the schooner
Lizzie Chadwick OF Thomaston, Me-,
were landed her recently by the
schooner II. II. Kitchener, Capt. J. w.
Haughen.
The seven men are First Mate o. r.
Murphy, Second Mate George Camp
bell, Benjamin Dick, Anderson Frank
lin, Thomas Harper, A. ~ Butler and
Alexander Audin.
The rescue of these eight men was
made about 200 miles east southeast
of this port on March 3, after the
Chadwick had been five days in sink
ing condition, kept up only by her
cargo of lumber, and the crew mad
suffered intensely from exposure, want
of food and anxiety.
The Chadwick left Mayport, Fla,
Feb. %, with $4,000 feet of yellow
pine, for New York. On the after
noon of Feb. q, when off Hatteras' she
ran into a severe gale. The vessel
sprang aleak and was soon down so
that her decks were awash.
Tne next day the masts were cut
away for safety, and from then until
March the men waited only for res
cue or death.
That day the schooner Kitchener
came along, bound from Barbados to
st. John, N. b., with molasses. With
the greatest difficulty the men of the
Chadwick were taken off. On board
the Kitchener they were given the
kindest care, and the rescued ones are
warm in their praises of the Kitchen
er's men.

Rate Bill HANGS.

Washlngton,-Senator Clapp, one Of
the men who assisted in framing the
Hepburn rate bill, was at the White
House recently and discussed the sit
uation with the President. 1t was ex-
peCted that Senator Dolliver would
participate in the conference, but he
was detained at home by illness.
Senator Clapp would not discuss his
interview with the President, but said
that so far as he was concerned no
propositions had yet been submitted
that he thought would improve the
bill as IT stands.
Should it develop in debate that
some amendments were necessary and
would strengthen the bill, he would
be willing to have them incorporated
but so far none had been offered that
he thought was necessary.
