GARDEN WORK FOR POOR
ANNUAL DINNER OF THE LOCAL
ASSOCIATION.
Illustrated Lecture by Mr.. R. F
Powell, the Originator Of
the System.

Increased interest and enthusiasm in the
work Of the City Gardens Association Of
this city in providing garden plots for the
poor Of the city, 1t is believed, will result
from the annual dinner of the association
held last evening in the new Y NJ c. A.
building. Mr. r. F. Powell of Philadelphia,
the originator of the system, gave an illus
trated lecture on the work in Philadelphia.
The officers of the association stated last
evening that efforts were being made to
induce Mr. Powell to devote a portion of
his time this summer to the work in this
city Owing to the high state of the de-
velopment of the garden work in his home
city 1t is thought that Mr.. Powell can now
render assistance to other communities.
Another announcement made last even
ing was that through the Department of
Agriculture the work will be extended to
the local school children. Susan B. Sipe.
who has made special study of this work
Tor the Department of Agriculture, has OBJ
tanned from the department IL acres of
land In the department inclosure for gar
den plots. Mrs Sipe will put go children
at work on plots there, where they will be
taught to raise vegetables.
AFTER the serving of the repast the party
last evening adjourned to the assembly
room. where the lecture by Mr. Powell WAS
given.
we have a great problem in the United
states in dealing with the poor people,"
nr. foWeii declared. In support of the as
sermon he quoted the statement of Robert
Hunter to the effect that there are 10000
900 people on the pauper list of the coun-
try, with as many more who would be put
on that list by enforced idleness of if
teen days. One idea of charity in dealing
with the poor is to provide a house and

the poor.

PETTIGREW IN CHINA.

The speech making OF William Jen-
nings Bryan In China recalls an expert
encc of three free silver Senators who
visited the Celestial Empire during the
fervenCy of the bimetallic question. At
tending one OF the great theaters In
Tten- Tsin-where there were thousanus
OF auditors and some hundreds of per-
formers. all talking and playing on
musical instruments at once and con-
tinuously for two or three days and
nights for single play; they were ush-
cred upon the stage as mark of great
favor where they stood among the su-
pernumeraries unobserved or at least
unnoticed by the audience. The dignified
and self-centered actors also refused
to pay attention to the intcrlopcrs.
Finally, at partial lull in the perform
ance accompanied by slight break in
the ranks OF the upernumeraries, Sen
ator Pettigrew of South Dakota walked
to the center of the stage, lifted his hat
from his head. and. bowing profoundly
to the assembled OrIentals, remarked
I'm that voice which so often pleased
as well as terrified his fellow solons at

TARIFF WAR NOT LIKELY.

II has been supposed In this country
that on March lst when the now Ger
man tariff law goes into effect, the
importations OF American meat and
breakstuffs into ports of the German
empire would practically cease.
The assumption that the law referred
to was directed against the United
States more than against any other
country, and was designed to compel
more favorable terms for German i'm
ports to this country, seemed entirely
warranted By the facts. Accordingly.
early in the present year there were
immense orders for American meats
for shipmnt to German ports. the In
spection force of the Department OF
Agriculture was inadequate 60 examine
and pass the quantities offered, and the
Secretary called the attention of Con-
gress TO the need Of a temporary ad
dition to his force to meet the require
ments of the trade. This addition was
furnished, the inspection was COM
pleted. and the shipments were accord
ingly made.
But 1t seems that it was a false
alarm. AS the day for the tariff war"
approached, the Kaiser heard the open
and general remononstrances of his
own people in a way that was not to
be ignored, Those who had made the
immense purchases of American meats
| expected TO make huge fortunes in the
advancement or prices that would en-
sue upon the new tariff going into eff
feet. The people who were expected to
| pay the advanced price and so build
up these great fortunes, rebelled. They
were paying all they could afford for
meat as It WAS, and refused TO be
"bled" So the Kaiser listened to the
workingmen, who were opposed 10 the
| landholders' hold-up. and proposed
the most favored section" treatment
for American products. And now the
Imperial Chancellor has submitted TO
the Reichstag a bill 10 extend to the
| United States the same reciprocal tar

vored European States. In return for

States shall relax some Of the rigid

IF WASHINGTON WERE HERE.

1t would be a bewldered George
Washington who should appear In
America today The greatest man of
his time. the most illustrlous Ameri-
can OF all time, 1t was not given him
to foresee a hundred years into the fu-
ture. He left a country that was a
mere fringe along the Atlantic shore,
though adventurous spirits had pushed
over the Alleghenies and had begun to
make their voices heard, clamoring Tor
their rights. which they held the East
was denying them
Then there was such weakness that
he laid stress upon the point that we
should avoid cntanelements with Tor
eign powers. lest we get the worse of

to avoid entanglements with US, lest
they get the worse of It At his death
this was a nation of small population
and of feeble powers. Now, II is n ma

Then, transportation was slow, COM
munication difficult. The journey

no railroad, no telegraph, no steam
boat, no telephone, no phonograph. no
street car. no bicycle no automobile.
Not one of the modern indispensables

rapid; he would doubtless wish to re-

THE BLUE RUIN" oUTCRY.

The rogues who undertook to play the
confidence game on the city that was
involved in their fake water scheme,
are now crying out that the city viii

tions necessarily had to be made with
out any reference to whether one ticket

fession OF their own trickery in letting
the contracts prematurely. Their hasty

STAND OR FALL TOGETHER.

The editor of minor Mormon print
has broken loose again with fulsome
laudation and prostrations OF worship
at the feet of the hierarchy. He insists
that when the leaders of the church
are attacked all Mormons are attacked,
and that all must and Will stand or fall

And this is the rock upon which the
Mormon mass viii break Itself il It be

himself, ten innocent men, women and

before the law can wreak It's just ven

against human statutes would go scot

law and it Is the sentimentality of the
human heart that II Is better that nine

innocent man should suffer an unjust
penalty. Here are twenty-siX men con-

in support OF and in copartnership with
