I was crossing Third steet yesterday night and lot of boys started to laugh at me and what do you think. One of the crowd said, .Aw, let her alone. She's a set- clement girl And they let me alone. We're not afraid. No one will bother us"
 And neither were they bothered. Gradually, DittIe Italy and the rest of the mixed nations adjacent to Help House accepted it's presence in the neighborhood and Its purpose. It was the free dispensary that established confidence. When the children of the neighborhood found that they could go to Help House under any and all circumstances of misfortune and find ready relief for the asking then 1t be- came popular and appreciated center of attraction.
 Next Edith founded the embroidery club among some shy, dark-eyed Ne- apolitan girls from carmine street and tho gate was opened little wider. And most popular of all was Betty's Music Club.

  they've simply called 1t the Music Club, which is far simpler and much more to the point anyway It's the only thing I could think of to do my self You know I can't sit and read Browning and stephen Phillips to q class. or teach thepr lace work like Edith. So just thought we'd have 2 music club"
 It was partly through the free dis pensary and partly through the music club that Tonic entered into the life of Help House. The first time the girls ever saw him was one night be- fore Edith had left for Europe It was in the summer. clear. fragrant July evening. They had left the set- clement and strolled up MacDouEai street to Washington square. The band was playing stray, favorite grand opera airs that met with great en- thusiasm from the crowds lying on the grass at case. With impunity also, for the civic word of power had gone forth. the mercury being above 90. and hu- manity was permitted to get close to nature without any fear of the night sticks playful tap.

 At the door leading to the hall. she hesitated, and added. That was Ear. rett who called up. He says he didn't even know the boat was in. and that you were here. and he is coming straight down now"
 Edith made no reply. She did not care when Barrett chose to come. So long as he had not come when she had wanted him. 1t did not matter now He must have known that she was due on that boat if he had stopped to think. Why was it. she wondered. that men rarely considered the value of little things.

Is located on the Catawba river ten
miles below Fort Lawn. A railroad
connects the two points, thus facili-

NEW SALARY BILL.

Senator Brice's bill to increase the
salaries Of certain York county officers
has become a law Notwithstanding the
fact that the daily newspaper report
ers appear to be under the impression
that 1t died Of neglect in the house.
The bill was introduced in the senate
by Senator Brice as a separate measure
and went over to the house early In
the session: but because Of the crowd
ed condition Of the calendars and the
strenuous situation generally, the
house delegation was unable to bring
1t up for consideration.
Seeing that there was but little pros
pect Of securing the passage OF the bill
IS a separate measure, Mr.. Brice tackled
II on to the general salary bill and
to the appropriation bill, and 1t got
through on both.
The bill provides that the salary of
the supervisor be increased from $3.50
a year to $1,000 year; the salary Of
superintendent of education from $3.50
a year to $500 year; the salaries OF
the county commissioners from $3.50
each to 5000 each and the salary Of
the coroner from 5000 a year to $3.50 a
year
Anticipating the passage of a bill
requiring magistrates and constables to
attend school picnics political and 9TH
er public meetings. provision was in
serted in the salary bill providing for
an increase In the salaries Of the mag
istrates and constables Of the various
townships from s25 to $50 each.

once and the present officers get the
benefit Of II.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

Senator ]. s. Brice is back In his
office again after forty days of unusu-
ally hard work at his legislative duties
in Columbia. He arrived yesterday
morning and having had but little sleep
for several night previous was pretty
we'll worn out. However, 1t was not
necessary for him to tell his friends a
second time that he was pleased with
the work Of the session.
"Yes, it is dead" was the remark
with which he met the inquring ap-
proach Of the reporter, and the smile
that spread over his face did not sug-
gest that he was announcing the death
of a friend.
I'VE did not get to final adjourn
ment until about half-past seven
o'clock yesterday morning" Mr.. Brice
went on; "but l think we finished up
all the pending business in proper
shape. am quite sure we completed
every arrangement for the proper
winding up of the state dispensary
machine.
1T was a splendid fight from start
to finish. The friends of the dispen-
sary managed their side with great
shrewdness and ability, and there were
times when they had us uneasy. In
deed the senate was in more or less
doubt even after the passage of the
Smith resolution. The shrewdest move
on the part of the dispensaryites
was their effort to pass the Nash pro-
hibtion bill: but the leaders In the
house easily proved equal to that
emergency, and although we felt pret-
ty sure of our ground from then on to
the end. we never once lost sight Of
the fact that there were lots Of pitfalls
any one of which might bring our ef
forts to nothing. Except for the fact
that Governor Ansel was with US, we
could not have won. The knowledge
that he would call an extra session
unless something was done. prevented
the filibustering Of the bill to death,
and knowing as our side did, that we
could have an extra session in case

A COMPROMISE has been reached In
the matter of admitting Japanese pu-
pills to the schools of San Francisco.
After a conference between the presi-
dent and a San Francisco delegation
headed by Mayor Schmitz, the confer
ence lasting over a week, an agreement
was reached whereby the San Fran
cisco people consented to the abolition
of the so-called oriental schools on
condition that congress amend the i'm
migration laws so as to provide that
japanese coolies without passports,
cannot enter this country except with
the consent of the president. This
means that the president will be able
to shut out Japanese coolies at any
time, and II he fails to do so on demand
of the labor leaders Of San Francisco,
in control of the city, the Japanese
will again be excluded from the
schools. Another amendment to the
immigration laws makes 1t unlawful
for private individuals or corporations
to assist state immigration depart
ments with money, etc. This Is under
stood to be direct thrust at the splen-
did work that Commissioner Watson
has been doing in the direction Of
bringing immigrants into South Caro-
lima; but the Republican party leaders
claim that such is not the case. AS a
matter of fact there is reason to be-
lieve that there is nothing in the San
Francisco objection to Japanese stu
dents in the school except hostility on
the part of organized labor, which is
supreme in the city Of the Golden
Gate.

THINGS THAT WE'RE Nor DoNE.-The
Columbia correspondent Of the Char
lotte Observer sums up the things that
the general assembly did not do, as
follows.
It spent much time discovering that
Ii really did not want to do anything
drastic toward the railroads. not
even to the extent of passing 2ac
passenger act; 1t spent still more
time even than it spent on the dis
pensary, finding out II did not want 70
change the lien law; 1t found out al
the last moment, in one of the sorer
moments Of the house, that 1t did
not desire a law forbidding the sale
or manufacture of cigarettes or cigar
cite paper; 1t found out through one
branch that II wanted no mf rriage IL
cense law; 1t discovered without ex-
ercising the house that 1t would take
no compulsory education at this time;
II wanted none Of Comptroller Gen
eral Joness scheme to place tax as
sessments on an honest, just and sem
sible basis of equality through a
board of five: 1t found out by the
combined judgment Of the two
houses that 1t would rather not ex-
empt the rural districts from the
operation Of the compulsory vac
cination law, in spite Of the danger
of violence against tactless doctors;
It found out through the senate that
1t did not want to take away the dow
er rights of the wives, nor abolish
tenancy in entirety.
