/ once spent few days at the re-

delschwinger. Bethel colony, at Biele.
field, Germany. Every visitor is i'm.
pressed by the devotion and efficiency
of the deaconesses and brothers who
care for the epileptic, the sick and
the wrecks Of drink who make up the
population of that wide-spreading
community. A fellow visitor said:
"Ah, well, you can't expect such devo'
ton in public institution. These
people work from the religious mo.
tive" have thought often of that
remark, unquestioned at the time.
Why should the public command less
than a private undertaking? Why
should that sweet old definition of re
ligion, which lays such emphasis on
comforting the sick and visiting the
prisoner. be less potent in great
public institution than in one conduct
ed by private persons? Why should
the commonwealth command less than
the service Of her wisest and best
children on behalf of her most foolish
and helpless ones?
After all, it is something larger and
more structural which we desire than
the incident of employing many more
women or even of making career
for educated women out of what is
now a slipshod means of livelihood
for unframed persons. What Is really
needed is TO gain the Increased atten-
ton of the only leisure class of
America, women, to great public

too often disregarded as without
structural import to social progress,

disease and failure which 1t presents,
makes the most urgent appeal to the
student and the lover of humanity.

be of any permanent benefit except it

RumoR OF TiE-UP.

Toward evening a friend of the re- porter came to him with the confiden- tial information that among the plans of the union was that of tie-up. that the railroad employees had held a meeting and would go out in due time, that they had received their orders from headquarters" This sounded like a bit of good story, but the re- porter man immediately began to couple in his mind the picture of a railroad strike and the |. s. mails. Still he had to ask a few questions more, for there are so many new propositions being sprung daily that one is never sure just what is or is not improbable.
 From a member of tine railway con- ductors the positive statement that that body is not affiliated with anyone and will take no official cognizance of the local situation came as a relief to remote doubt. And so it seems that the conductors will continue to run the trains, the engineers to pull their thrOttles and talk to their locomotives, while the switchmen deny positively any knowledge Of any meeting held here with reference to taking part in the strike.

her signature immediately opposite the date October 21, 1902-If you ! don't believe anything else in that affidavit, the date is significant. It shows that within twenty-four hours after she had seen White, the ogre who had piled her with wine and Sc duced her. he had completely under mined her great love for Thaw-tbe +ove which led to her remuneration. Poor Evelyn poor woman indeed, whose love was undermined in twen- ty-four hours, by stories of perversion undermined by the man who had rayished her, of all men on earth.
 How does Thaw come into the life of this young woman? We find him wrapping $50 bills around the stem Of roses and throwing them over the footlights. We find him attending her at d chorus girls dinner. We find him offering her mother compensa- ton to help him win the daughter. He was paying honorable court to her, says MT. Delmas. Are men who are paying honorable court to women in the habit of wrapping $50 bills around roses they send to them?
 He sends her to q hospital and then furnished the money to take her abroad. In Paris he asks her to mar ry him. When she said no, he ask ed Is it because of White?' Did this come to him as a shock? Had he heard gossip in the Tenderloin which ! led him to suspect relations with White. I said it in no sneering way that if the story of her supreme re- nlnciation was true, there was noth- ing like it in history or in literature. She had nothing before her but life of hard work Here was a man she loved: here was a haven of rest and because she liked him so we'll she cast it all aside Here was poor in nocent child whom this gallant Sir Galahad would take to his arms, cher ish and protect her against the in fanny of White. and what did this Gal ahad do but take this Angel child" and Haunt her through nearly every capital in Europe as his mistress.
 If White Is to be painted black for what he did to Evelyn Nesbit, then ! there is no color black enough Ic paint this Sir Galahad who took this i Angel child' and despoiled her" Jerome then directed attention to the Hammel affidavit.

Anything that comes from his hands can justly be viewed with suspicion, but in this affidavit there also figures two rep utable clerks, Schneider and Jacob son. Schneider testified that he wit messed the affidavit and tbe sigma tare of Evelyn Nesbit."
 The district attorney shouted that the suggestion that Hummel concoct- ed the charges set forth in the affi- davit was absurd and that part of the girls testimony was so clear as to re- move ali doubt as to the statement and it's authenticity.

 White was wealthy and a man who found enjoyment, God knows how or why, with this class of people He sees this child blow into his cir Cle and it was natural that a rich man like White, moving in the circle he did, should have tried to help this girl: it was natural that he should give her little gifts of wearing ap- parel which tended to her comfort. There was nothing in his conduct con sistent with the theory that the re- lations between the two were not pure. do not know how it was and neither do you. except as this girl tells us, and I must submit in all sol emnity that she does not tell the truth You have no evidence outside of her own story that the relations between her and White were impure, and the character of the story may best be judged by her statement that all of her experiences with this man were against her will-that they were all rape-and yet We find her vOlun- tarily in his rooms. waiting and will ing for the awful attacks of this mon ster.

MINERS REFUSE ID QU|T WORK.
CcOntinued From First PageJ

i In one case young boy whose whole life has been spent in Bisbee, was plainly embarrassed when pressed 1 for his intentions in regard to the unions strike. He seemed at a loss to know just what to do. He was not an unsophisticated boy, and the posi- tion of being called upon to answer so momentohs question evidently Aus trated him, but finally he found a way out of the difficulty, and not without a little laughter at the expense of the solicitor.
 Why. you see. Mister, I'm not work in: aint been for long time. I aint had no job for more'n a week, so I can't quit fer you'' In most cases the man appealed to for his support took the matter as one who needs more time in which to fig ure the possibilities out 10 his own satisfaction, and these for the greater part listened respectfully to the ap- peal of the picket after which they went away, evidently to think the mat ter over some more.
 One of these was an exception to the rest He listened but a moment to the picket's talk. He had made up his mind. He was an elderly man. ap- varently the father of a household and he thought only of the family at home as he remarked:
 "Oh, you want me to quit work? Well. I see no good reason why should"
 But, now" said the picket with all due respect and persistence, If you'll just sep over with me to the head quarters, I think 1 can get you several good reasons why you should quit work"
 Well. that may be, too. but I know of one d-d good reason why I'm going back to work in the morning and every morning they will let me, and don't want any of your union reasons y and he was gone.
 And so it was for hours, till the sun and the monotony of the day became tiresome even to the enthusiastic union worker

CAPITALISTS ARE VISITING THEIR
 HOLDINGS
Congdon and Tenner Heavy Stockholders in LocaI'Com- panies Stop for Day on Way to Cananea.

Among visitors to the city during the past couple of days are Chester X. Congdon, president of the Calumet & Arizona Mining Company and in terested in many other great industrial enterprises. and George Tenner, a heavy stockholder in several of the local companies, and in various com panies throughout the country. The gentlemen left their homes in Duluth about three weeks ago, and in the meantime have been travelling through the southern states looking after var ious interests, and are now on their way to Cananea, where they will make a trip of inspection over the Greene Cananea holdings, in which they are both heavily interested. They will leave the city this morning in the pri- vate car "Cananea" in company with Dr. L. D. Ricketts. general manager of the big corporation.
 When seen last evening at the Copper Queen hotel and asked for their opinions on conditions in the east, and especially in regard to the financial situation, the gentlemen ex- pressed themselves as being well pleased with conditions, although at the present time some uncertainty eX- ists. Mr. Congdon said;
 Throughout the Copper Country great activity prevails. and the recent furry in Wall Street had little or no effect Of course stocks suffered to big extent. but this was only natural when one considers the condition which the money market was in. and the various investigations which were in progress in railroad circles at that time But on the whole 1t seems to me that this shaking up will act as good rather than an evil. and will be con- ducive to conservatism"
 When asked concerning his opin- ion in regard to the stand taken by President Roosevelt, and what he thought had brought on the panic Mir Tenner said:
 AS far as the president is concern ed, l think that he is the friend of the railroads, eveu though he evinces dis position to make them live up to the laws which some of the managers seem to constTue as an unkindly act. Although the president adopts meth ods which are unusual to gain his end, he was never noted for following pre- cedent and 8 careful review of his i been usually successful in bringing action will show. think, that he has about goot results.
 The panic on Wall Street was un- doubtedly brought about by a lack of confidence in railroads which chTystal- liZed in the form of hostile state legis- lation. But taking everything into | consideration the condition is a good one. and will work out, I think to the advantage of everyone"

PASSING OBSERVATIONS.

In Brewery Gulch. in front of the
 Western Federation headquarters,
 naturally congregated the larger
 crowds, It was a Strange gathering, and as might be expected the type of
 the western milier predominated There was nothing to suggest strife, but quiet determination looked
 one in the eyes from every man. True, there were there those who had no | immediate interest in the situation,
 that is, they were not employed in the
 mines and their positions did not de pend on the days dolngs
 l The little gatherings were nothing I if not democratic in their personnel. The white coliared" clerk and busi- ness man rubbed shoulders and talked 1 feverishly with the man who had just come from the change room at the
 shaft house. And always it was the
 same topic; all were hungry for i'm pressions and opinions. You could hear estimates of the number of men who would leave their work in sym pathy with the strikers at from 300 men to every white man in the camp" as the Federation organizer put it
 Yesterday was pay day, consequent ly there was some little drunkenness apparent, but it was no more notice
 able than on any other pay day and
 the ''jags' were exceptionally well be- haved. Of course they had opinions
 that sounded slightly more rabid than those that came from the sober ele- ment, but their talk ran mostly along the line of josh" and altogether it was a well behaved. good natured crowd Apart from the street crowds, small gangs of men stood in earnest conver- sation, especially in the neighborhood
 of the railroad tracks which separate
 the city from. the paths to the mine shafts. You were safe in guessing
 that hidden in the midst of these little crowds was a picket or two, placed there by the union to solicit support
 from the miners coming of or going on shift.
 WhitheG the reporter made his way He found Tn the picket at the depot trail an old acquaintance. He was
 voluble and it was not long until the conversation between the newspaper
 man and the union agent formed the attraction for upwards of fifty listen CTS. As elsewhere ali were good natured. Mixed in with the majority
 of union men and sympathiZers were
 few who fain would display their
 honest opinions that the situation was | uncalled for. These few invariably started something" and from every
 side they would be besieged with argu-
 ments for the union men, but always in good humor.
 The reporter stood by and saw a few miners coming oil shift accosted by the solicitor for the union, and it was interesting to note the effect of the speakers pleas.
