The child's hands are small and the cloth is stiff, but she tugs at her needle with patience far more touching than rebellion. She sits as close as possible to the meagre window, but already her eyes show signs of strain. They are dull eyes, except for momentary sweetness when she smiles. All the frail new growth of her ages is being relentlessly pounded down, leaving arid vacancy. All her human possi- bilities are being exchanged for about 90 cents a week.
 The New York law declares that no child under 14 shall work for hire, and no child between 14 and IS who cannot read and write simple sentences in the English language, and show that he has attended school 130 days during the previous year; he must be of normal height and development, and his day is limited to nine hours. It is a just law good for the present industrial condi- tions, however the future may improve on it. In ths mills and factories it can be more or less vigorously enforced, but there is a vast field of child labor at home that this law does not and cannot touch As things are there is no help. So long as the law licenses the tene- ment for manufacture and so allows the mother to bring the work home, the children will help her. Fifty thousand inspectors could not patrol the tene- ments sufficiently to prevent this; if it were tried, some small sentry would always sound the note of warning, and the official, on his arrival, would find only the mother working, while the lit- tie children would be playing innocently upon the floor.
 According to Dr. A. s, Daniel, who has been for many years worker among the east side poor the remedy must be drastic-forbid the manufac- | turer, to have any part of his work done ir tenement house. With all this manufacturing transferred to factories,
 which could be properly Inspected, the child worker would necessarily be set free; school nursey, and public play
 ground must attend to his case when
 the mother is obliged to go.-Juliet

THE EYE WITNESS.


 The New Haven Theatre will offer for three nights and Saturday matinee, commencing Thursday, January 1, Lin- coin J. Carter's recently produced suc- cess. "The Eye Witness" a melodrama of the most approved type, abounding in sensational scenes and mechanical effects such as only the imaginative mind and creative genius of MT. Carter can conceive. The story of the play, which is laid in and around Chicago, deals with the lives of two brothers, both beyond the prime of life-one whole souled and charitable, a thor oughly good man; the other grabbed, miserly and narrow minded, Each is possessed of a son whose natures and dispositions follow those of their re- spective sires. The machinations of one one brother to become possessed of the propertv the other and the love of inc ty ST men for the same wo- ear he basis of one of the

CROWDS AT TEND

Thc Watts-Lamberd company
have had a large crowd attending
their. sill, sale in spite of the bad
weather today. The store. was
crowded with lady customers who
were buying the many bargains in
silks of all kinds. That this popu-
lar store is full of silks is putting il
mildly. The center of the siore il
filed with tables loaded with all the
newest silks in plain and fancy, also
crepe-de-chine and silk fabrics Of
all kinds. Mr.. Lamberd informs MS
that the sales up to noon were the
largest they have ever had in one
morning during silk sale. This
speaks well for the firm, and the
many bargains that they are offer
ing the ladies of our city. Those
who have not attended this sale
should not let this opportunity pass
to buy a handsome silk dress or
waist, as the prices are special for
this sale only. The silks are the
newest 1906 weaves. They viii
have a large line Of silk suits and
waists on sale tomorrow that arrived
via express this morning.

ELKINS -
8 HEARTILY in ACCORD !,
ON RATE BILL

There has never been a moment
that / have not been in hearty ae-
cord with the President on the rail-
way rate BILL" These are words
spoken BY Senator Stephen B.
Elkins, according to advices which
il is not proper at this time TO dis
close.
Such i declaration comes like a
bomb 10 many who haze CONTEND
ed all the time that Senator Elkins
was not in accord with the President,
but that he had been making unusual
and extraordinary, effort in behalf
81 the railroad corporations.
Now, the senior senator from this
state must be taken at his word, and
is 10 be congratulated for once more
being found on the side of the peo-
pie, who have had such implicit con-
Iidence in him all during his official
life.
While Senator Elkins has not rs
yet made public official utterances
on this vital subject, which is being
demanded so universally, and espec-
ially. so I'm West Virginia, the source
Of the declaration quoted is of re-
liability that warrants the statement
that Senator Elkins did make it and
that his attitude is plainly defined
in it,
Official declaration may not be
made by him of his position on this
great question until the Hepburn or
some other rate bill comes before
the United States Senate, when it is
expected Senator Elkins, according
10 the declaration here quoted, will
be one of the warmest advocates Of
railroad rate measure approved by
the administration. The Hepburn
bill appears to have been passed by
the sanction Of the President and in
the main covers his ideas on the sub
ject as recommended in his annual
message to the Congress, and Sena-
tor Elkins. is most sure to support a
bill, embracing the salient features
Of the Hepburn measure.
That Senator Elkins is in full ac-
cord with the President on this sub
iect is most important, if true, and
every one hopes it is true. The
Telegram has now no room to doubt
that it is true, for Senator Elkins
Is known to have declared himself
privately within the past two or
three days as stated.
