The Junior Gatherinu.

The most important and successful event of the week in Y. M. c. A. circles took place Friday evening, the occasion being the annual junior gath ering. The meeting of the bows at $50 was the most enjoyable event they have had in many months, and the gymnasium program afterwara, at o'clock, was attended by very large audience, most of whom were rtlatives of the boys participating.
 At G:50 the boys met in the gym nasium, where long tables had been set and spread with a feast of the eat. aoles dearest to a boys heart. Ex- actlX 7S juveniles sat down to the sun- per, the only guests present besides members of the junior departmaht being General Secretary Richardson. Membership Secretary Cook. Phvsi- cal Director West and Rev. Norris, pastor of the Presbyterian church.
 When the boys had cleared away everything in sight, which by the way was a task that occupied only a short ume, Dr. Norris made them a short address, He spoke of their possibili- nes in the future, telling them that he saw before him the future doctors. lawyers, mechanics, business men, congressman. governors, tramps. and every other class of men. He said that 1t was up to the boys themselves as to which of these classes they were Tn in future years, and gave them some good advice, to which the boys listened with respectful attontion and ~ :" nr.

plause when he had finished.
 At s o'clock the gymnasium pj gram was carried out before an au( ence which filled every available se in the gym. This exhibition consi| ed of free-hand and dumb-bell dri potato and relay races. and indo baseball and basketball games. " main feature of these games was u contest between two teams captainl by Masters Bringman and Riser. Kl CTS team winning out by a score 14 to 12. All of the work was exec tionally good, and was much enjoy by the spectators.
 This is the first public eXhibitd that has been given and many vorable comments on the work that being done for the boys were heal at the conclusion of the program.

New Lodge Rooms.

No more important indication of the rapidity with which the fraternal or .6ers of Pine Bluff are increasing has been shown than the movement by two of them during the past week to find new homes for themselves, on ac- count of their present quarters being too small to accommodate the con- ntly-increasing membership. In one case the movement has already taken definite shape, while in the oth- el the preliminary steps have been taken, and it will be matter of a short time only before the matter will be well under way.
 The lodge which has already made arrangements to find a new home is the Eagles, one of the largest and most popular fraternal orders in the city. A complete account of the ar engagements they have made has been given in previous issues of the Ora phic, in whose columns the first inti- nation of the proposed change was published exclusively on Thursday evening. They have, through a com, mittee of three of the most prominent and enthusiastic members, Messrs Kirschgraber. Alex LeLailrin and Nathaniel Allen, leased the large dou ble hall in the building owned by Dr. J. w. Withers on Second avenue. be- tween Pine and Chestnut streets. and will move there about th middle of April. The rooms will be sumptuous ly fitted up with new furniture. and will be repapered and decorated SC that here will be no lodge nor club rooms in the city any finer. A re. port is to be had from the committee at the meeting next Thursday even ing, and the matter will then be final. y passed on by the lodge.
 The other matter of a new home is perhaps a little more important to the general public, as it involves the erection of a building that will take leading place among the largest and finest edifces in the city. This is the new home which the Knights of Pythias expect to erect in Pine Bluff, and although but one of the local lodges has taken any action in the matter. it is known that the sentiment of the members of the order is in favor of carrying the project through to successful completion. The pre- steps in the movement were taken at a meeting Of Lafayette lodge

FRATERNAL ORDER NEWS


Monday evening. A committee con- posed of Geo. B. Moore, R. L. Ruther- ford and R. w. Lane was appointed to confer with similar committee to be appointed in the future by Imperial Juliet lodge. It will be the duty of these committees to select what to them appear to be suitable sites for the building, secure estimates as to it's cost and to submit their findings to the lodges for approval.
 It is not the idea of the lodges to erect building merely for purposes of lodge work, but to put up a modern, fire-proof building. several stories in height, which shall be an adornment to the city. Several stories of the building would be utilized for store and office purposes, and one or two floors would be used by the lodges. ln addition to being an ornament to the city it would fill a long-felt want, as there is now no distinctive office building in the city, and the rooms to be placed at the disposal of the ten ants would no doubt be filled up as soon as the building was completed. At the meeting of Imperial-Juliet lodge Friday evening no official action was taken in the matter but this does not signify that no attention is to be paid to it. as it is known that the gen. eral sentiment of the members is in favor of the scheme, and as these lodges are composed of some of the most wealthy and influential men in the city they are able to make the venture an unqualified success.
 Otherwise the week has been an un- usually uneventful one in lodge cir cles. The regular meetings of all the orders except the Red Men have been held, and in a few cases some deeree work has been done. but eener- ally things have been quiet. Odd Fellows have done little. and general ly their meetings are important. All the meetings have been Interesting but here have been so many other attractions during the week in the na- ture of political meetings that the attendance has suffered somewhat.

At the meeting of Imperial-Juliet lodge was conferred on Attorney T. Havis Nixon, and they also transacted rou- tine business.

is due to its manufacturing industries,
and its fall means disaster.
2. The Boer war has depleted the
National revenues, and British pride
does not wish this fact to become appar-
ent. Therefore, the wealthy people
and the banks are overstocked with
consols, and ready money is not availa-
BILE, nor can't be until it once more
finds its way back through the ordina-
ry-channels of trade.
Great Brittian is living on the hopes
of satisfaction that destroys.
Fortunately, the mining sections OF
the country are least affected; the peo-
pie are more content, and if we could
induce some of these to come to Amer
lea we would have some good miners at
time when we need them.
And while l am speaking about labor,
the American would hardly believe that
office and other clerks work at from
SO. "a Q6s.) to $40 (SOs.) per week.
Sir. Thomas Upton, who employs ma
ny clerks in his London and other Off
ces, pays his clerk an average of $3.50
(&D. ct may be stated that my rate
of exchange is wrong, but am assum-
ing that the rate fixed by the Interna-
tional Postal Union is the correct one.)
Now these $3.50 clerks are expected
to wear white shirts and cuffs, Prince
Albert coat and vest and high silk hat.
Many have families. But Sir Thomas
is only selected because he is well
known in America, and not because he
is an exception. The fact is, this is the
uniform pay in England.

The Meat Trust Decision.
philadelphia Press. J

The decision rendered on Wednesday
by the United States District Court in
Chicago in the meat packers case will
disappoint those who believe that to
punish the trusts and the men who
make them is at present the chief end
of man. The decision exempts MEM
bers of corporation who furnish EVIL
dence of the criminal acts of that cor
poration from being themselves con-
victed of crime on that evidence.
This is clearly a logical sequence
from the recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the Tobacco
Trust and Paper Trust cases, in which
the court held that the officers and
members of a corporation could not de-
cline to testify as to the criminal acts
of the corporation on the ground that
it would tend to criminate them. The
court rules that a corporation and its
members are distinct persons, and that
the criminal acts of the corporation are
not necessarily the criminal acts Of
those who compose it. Therefore the
latter cannot refuse to testify as to all
the acts, agreements and policies of the
corporation, but must tell the truth so
far as they know it, however disas-
trous it may be to the corporation.
This principle works two ways. 1t
gives full publicity to the secrets of
corporation management, which is an
enormous gain for the public. 1t
makes it impossible to identify the Off
GERS and members of a corporation with
the corporation itself and punish the
individuals for the acts of the incor-
porated body. The immediate effect OF
this is to allow the members of the
Meat Trust to go free, while the cor
poration can be fined only $1,000. Its
uncompleted contracts made in pur-
suance of the.conspiracy proved against
it may be annulled and it's goods in
tranit forfeited.
This makes the conspiracy charge, if
proved, possibly serious matter for
the trust, and though the exemption of
the individuals from prosecution on
evidence of their own furnishing may
be regrettable, it is the price paid for
the evidence, which otherwise would
not be obtainable against either the
corporate body or the men composing
it.

NERVE.
Portsmouth Star.

Nerve is an admirable quality.
Sometimes it is beautiful, noble, splen-
did. But it is not needed, particularly
on the bench. 1t is unique and striking
everywhere, but when displayed in the
form which Judge Deuel., of New York,
and Judge Crump, of Richmond, are ex-
plotting nerve, it is unquestionable.
Judge Deuel. has superior nerve.
He is in a different environment.
More nerve is needed to distinguish a
man in the community which produced
"Boss" Tweed, Richard Croker and
Chauncey Depew. The conditions are
more intense, the pace is swifter, the
incentives more corrupting, the reward
is greater and the object lessons are OF
a higher type. Nothing in Virginia
ever happened before to require the
display of nerve that Judge Crump is
showing. He is the first and most con-
spicous of his class. He is the progeni-
tor and the paragon.

Legislature, and the removal of Upshur,
our Richmond contemporaries haven't
said word about the matter.

THE POVERTY OF
ENGLISH WAGES
Sixteen Per Cent. Of the LabOrinS Class
Is unemployed.
The BRITISH TRADE Is WANING
Locomotive Engineers Receive SIP Per
Week. Clerks Get S. Week.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)

The following interesting letter writ
ten for the Manufacturers Record by
correspondent is of especial moment
to Virginians just at this time, when
Commissioner Koiner is active with his
scheme to bring skilled labor from En-
gland to work on the farms of Virginia.
The letter written from England
says:
have looked into conditions in Der
byshire, Cheshire, and Devonshire.
Here, to my utter establishment, while
prices of labor do not compare favor
bly, with American wages, work is
fairly abundant and poverty is not evil
dent; in fact, the supply and the de-
mand for labor reached within 10 pei
cent. of normal-that is, excluding
that class of people who, from consti-
tutional inertia or other causes not ex-
planned, add to the roster of the idle.
estimate that the total unemployed
would be about 16 per. cent. Yet this
statement should be qualified by the re-
mark that a larger percentage of per-
sons who are not wholly dependent on
labor for living are employed, so that
the apparent idlers are the result of
an artificial condition.
POOR PAY FOR RAILROAD MAN.
Talking to locomotive engineer,
man who has been running
the fast express on the Midland
Railway for over twenty-five
years, he tells me that his salary is e2
los. per week, or $12. This pay is less
than the average price of street car
conductor ($14) in the States, and the
eight-hour system is not recognized
in practice. This pay may be
taken as basis for calculation on all
wages paid throughout the north of
England. Thus after study of the
situation l find that theIprice of labor
as compared to similar labor in the
United States, is only 40 per cent.
This average will apply to all classes
of labor, from the skilled mechanic,
clerk, miner, unskilled laborer and
house servant. have arrived at these
figures as applied to England by group
ing the actual wages paid and striking
an average and doing similar calcu-
lation with American labor. The great
emergency of opinions expressed in
British parliamentary documents does
not warrant the use Of official figures
that vary from 81 to AZ per cent.
Every one throughout England asks
the cause of the depression. So far as
can see there are two vital causes,
neither of which are given to the pub
| lie.
