SAD STORY OF AN ORPHAN.
Boy Does Not Sleep in Bed for Four
Months.

Clarence Collier, an orphan, destitute
and without home or friends, presented
himself at the Central police station IN
Pittsburg and begged that he be given
place to sleep. The boy said that for
four months, since the death of his moth
er, he had been sleeping in alleys and
sheds and that while trying TO obtain
employment suspicious directed toward
him prevented him from earning an hon.
est living. When turned over to the mat
ron, who gave him a clean bed. he de-
clared it was the first in which he had
slept since his mother died. The boy
told a story of how merchants refused
him positions. On one occasion. he says,
be obtained employment in store and
his employer. to test his honesty. placed
a roll of bills within his reach. When
asked what he.d did he replied: Il picked
up the money, handed it to the manager
and quit my position" A home for the
boy has been found by the police.

To Syndicate Public Libraries,

A suggestion made by James IL. Can
field, librarian of Columbia university,
looking toward syndicate of public Ii
braries on a large scale, is attracting
much attention. Writing in the Indepen-
dent, Mr.. Garfield says that the libra
rians of all our larger institutions are
overburdened with Accommodations which
they cannot possibly care for, either for
shelf-room or handling in any building
less capacious than the library of Con-
gress, or with any ordinary staff of work
ers. He thinks the remedy will be found
in binding closely together the great CEN
trail library of the nation and those of
various States. As an illustration of
what he proposes. he refers to the de-
veloplnent of special Libraries at New
York, such as those owned by the acad-
envy of medicine, the bar association, the
genealogy collection of the Lenox library,
the library of architecture at Columbia,
the library of pharmacy. the New York
historical society's collection, etc. Once
such national library system was or
gained. the different librarians would
be in constant telephone communication
and the system of interlibrary loans
would make the resources of all available
at any time or place. At some central
point correspondence bureau, the fees
of which would make it self-sustaining,
would bring the advantages of these col
lections to thoughtful or studious persons
everywhere.

CHICAGO.

The underlying conditions generally
favor sustained strength in commercial
operations, but there is. as expected at
this time, smaller volume of new de-
mands in the leading industries. Pro-
duction and distribution however,
meet with no interruption. Railroad
earnings are the largest ever known,
bank exchanges steadily gain. Christ
mas lines enjoy unprecedented demand
and notwithstanding the strain of dear
money, business defaults remain low.
The most serious obstacle is the
scarcity of freight ears, causing in
ability to secure prompt forwarding at
various Western points, but it is seen
that large additions to rolling stock
are now being made and that railroad
efforts are more effective toward re-
ducing congestion. Crop marketings
have become smaller than expected,
due to bad roads, but there is an I'M
usually heavy carrying of furnace and
factory products. The pressure upon
iron, steel and rail equipment permits
! no diminution in outputs and it is evil
dent that holiday shutdowns will be
cut short.
Lake navigation is ended and re-
| ceipts of ore are made ample for the
winter. Lumber receipts fall short Of
estimated needs and cause apprehen-
sion as to adequate supplies, yard
stocks having become much depleted
and lacking variety for manufacturing
uses. Additional large construction
plans announced consumption of build
ing materials. Bookings are fair for
plates, wire and other finished steel
shapes. The wood and leather working
branches have considerable orders in
hand, and outputs run better than a
year ago in heavy hardware. machin-
cry. electric goods, furniture and i'm
plements.
Retail dealings are highly stimulated
by the close approach of Christmas
and sales in the seasonable lines show
substantial gains over corresponding
period of last year. Articles of luxury
sell freely. Reports from the interior
reflect heavy business going on and
we'll sustained absorption of wearing
apparel and household needs. Whole
sale orders for spring delivery make
a satisfactory exhibit in dry goods,
wooden, footwear and food products.

Count Boni and his wife, formerly Miss

In an address at Ithaca, President
Schurman of Cornell said he believed
that law regulating prices in different
sections of the country would be enacted
to prevent discrimination, following the
principles of the common law. He thought
the time would come when truth, honor
and morality would be as much part
of Wall street as of the country village.
The big TASK of the future he defined as
''the moralzation of the rich" What he
regarded as the defect of socialism was
that it puts upon the shoulders of gov
eminent what government is totally in
capable Of doing He admitted the ills
of the wage earners, but said that the
captains Of industry must be made to
share profits.

WOULD SEIZE HAWAII.
Japan.s First Move in the Event OF
War with Uncle sam.

War with Uncle Sam.
The possibility, however remote, of
war with Japan brings up the question
of the strategic value of Hawaii. There
is little doubt that Japan in the event
of such conflict could and would at
once occupy those islands as a base of
operations against us. Long before we
could possibly send for their defense a
fleet which could be spared only after
proper protection had been given to our
Pacific coast cities Japan would have her
fleet and her troopships in the harbor of
Honolulu. With Japan once in possess
sion it would be almost impossible to dis
lodge her. for the reason that she would
do Immediately what the United States
has not done and perhaps is little likely
to do.
Because of physical conditions the
principal Hawaiian islands may easily
be made almost impregnable. Outlying
reefs make landing impossible except
through channels which could be swept
by shore batteries In case of need for
such defense Japan as an occupant would
have an unreasonable advantage over
us. There are in the islands to-day some
JOOOO men. many and probably most OF
whom belong to the japanese reserves.
They are trained soldiers.
A naval occupation followed by the ar
rival of vessels bringing arms, ammuni-
ton and equipment would give Japan a
tremendous advantage at the very out
set of hostilities. This quickly available
force would proceed at once to the con-
struction of earthworks and Notifications
and to their equipment with heavy guns
and light batteries. Once in intrencbed
occupation and with such a defensive
force she could give highly interesting
time to all the ships and men that we
could possibly spare from the defense OF
the Philippines and the Pacific coast.
Fortunately our relations with Japan
are on the whole most friendly and like
ly to continue so. Enlightened self-in
terest demands that they so continue, but
it is we'll to remember that in time
of trouble our weakest spot would be
Japan's strongest hold.
